Tummy ache
Thanks for that
Car crash noise
Up in the bed
A Smile that
Kills me fast
Cigarettes
Right before bed
Feeling like
Left behind
Afraid of
Empty nights
Wondering
What do you feel
Wondering
If you want me
I'm just being honest

Hands collided
In a small interaction
Felt like car crash
Deeply hurt without a single fracture
The weather changes again
And my feelings play along
I'm lost at sea my friend
Or is it tears in which I drown
I'll find my end in everlasting woods
With a heart full of - what
I'll be part of everlasting trees
Feeding them my corpse

good talk

Shades of blue and grey engraved into your face
Wounded fingers on both sides, will the memories be erased
Oven and living room talking to each other
Water bottle night affair
Car crash, front seat lovers
Good talk

At the funeral
They played the wrong song
A week after
It still felt so wrong
It felt so wrong
It felt so wrong
He drove back to the cabin
Where rifle shots formed a chant
Echoing through the woods
Singing about the end
The shots came closer
On a walk he found some shells
He frowned and thought
This life, it might be hell
It might be hell
It might be hell
He took pills to get some sleep
Hiding under empty sheets
Oh my god, oh why me
Demons waiting in the trees
After around a month
He was barely himself
He came to the conclusion that some
Wounds never heal again

Rifle shots echoing through the valley
Where there's a house of void
Did you feel my touch I wondered
Did you enjoy
Where there's a house of void
Did you feel my touch I wondered
At night did you enjoy
Did you enjoy
Is there future where there is no words
Is there a car crash where no one gets hurt?
You looked out of the window
But in the dark there was just a vague expression
Why do i think about the future at all?
When you light wood on fire
It gets hurt
Maybe what I desire
Is to get burned

It's not only the fire, but the ocean and the hunger
Changing colors of a pale and dying summer
Squealing tires as a form of ambience
It's always weird when something won't come back again
Wipe your mouth
Like you used to at lunch
It tore me up
Like a thoughtful punch
Shake your head
Just one last time
The regret
It matches mine
It matches mine
It matches mine
What do you need from me
Two-headed catastrophe
Body parts next to the car
Late night talk, polar star
My guts wrapped into your pillowcase
While you try to drink the pain away
Hurt yourself
Deep in the woods
Take a break
Just like you should
Act embarrassing
Like you do all the time
The regret
It matches mine
It matches mine
It matches mine
It matches mine
It matches mine

On the drive home there was an elk by the road
My body is so full of pathos, there is no space for bones
I was waiting on the high seat but the deers, they never came
I was sitting in the backyard, waited for the rain
That - also - never came
Tried to read the tracks, but am blinded by emotions
Reality - as always - was overthrown by notion
If you would draw the ocean
I guess I could handle it
In portions
On the drive home there was an elk by the road

Tried to read the tracks, but am blinded by emotions
Reality - as always - was overthrown by notion
If you would draw the ocean
I guess I could handle it
In portions
Paint me like i am
A miserable mess
Without a skeleton
There is no silhouette

Shaking mountain
Liquid on the inside
Feel like leaves in the wind
What a lovely thought
I'm just like water
From a hole in the mossy ground
I'm touched by your presence
In the most lovely way
I bring no good
I'm sorrow in the peoples eyes

Vest-wearing hunter
Do you sleep in your shallow grave?
Why didn't the bright orange of your vest
Scare the wolves away?
All I long for is connection
Try find it in your face
I seek connection with the trees
and all the running prey
Vest-wearing hunter
Please turn your rifle the other way
Why didn't the bright orange of your vest
Reflected the upcoming day
All i long for is the nightfall
To put your face in shades
And as it's going to get darker
Takes your smile away
Mobile phone pain
Messages stare back again
Close it down, drink some tea
Sleep depriving agony
Birch grove burning
Only thing that could save it
Is if the flood would turn in
Smoke drenched clothes
Too close to the fire but still soaked
Walking back and forth, over and over
Trying to fit into wet footprints
Never coming closer
Blurred island with no border
Do you hear the cracking under the water?

Please could you sit in the back
The front seat is covered in her brains
I tried to clean it up
Tried to throw it all away
Please could you sit in the back
The front seat is covered in her brains
I tried to clean it up
Tried to throw it all away
But those stains, they will stay forever
How to remove the ache from my stomache
Is there a video about that on the internet
Please could you sit in the back?
Just like i just said
It might feel weird
But those stains they just won't disappear

Step by step
One forth one back
Your wrists and nose
Cut into flesh
Redeeming words
They make it worse
4 a.m.
Graveyard friends
There's only one thing left to say
It's pathetic
And unaesthetic
So I won't say it
I won't say it
I won't say it
I won't say it
I won't say it
I won't say it

I was watching a film the other day
And thought back to our talk near the woods
Where we both wished that life had an ending
Preferably good
This is my way to talk to you
I hope thats okay
If you don't want to hear it, just listen the other way
They've cleaned the road
Such a scary thought
If there was a final scene, it would all be okay
But life's endless, and after a while everything that meant something
Might fade away
I am afraid
The impact didn't kill her instantly
It was a painful death
I found a rearview mirror the other day
Next to the place, lying in the grass
I felt the warmth and saw your eyes
Scarred skin, such cruel demise
I'll watch you closely, as it might fade away
Thankful for those painful days
Dying embers, rising smoke
Your dreams of fire, keep them close
Dawn heart dawn
