The Horror The Horror

she dont look much like something
but she’s something to see
she don’t ask where to go to
cause she’s already here
she don’t know she’s supposed to
be friendly and sweet
she don’t look much like someone
but she’s someone to me
so she carries the weight of a traveller’s heart
all the way from blood diamonds into a cheap old czech bar
don’t be afraid to take what is yours,
she might travel for fun, but she don’t love for sport
so she was my companion
through the cracks in this road
but the first couple turns
threw us way off our course
i guess all of that dreaming
was taking it’s toll
we were saved by the heat
and the madness it holds
so she carries her torch into the heart of the dark
but the jungle has swallowed our boots, boats and cars
we sure were afraid to make something last
but the horror, the horror has finally surpassed
the horror, the horror has finally surpassed

Daddy Issues

if i’m the one that you adore
then darling your adoring’s only
made up of the pieces that
your father left behind
so i keep wearing his cologne
old man’s shoes and ray bans on
make sure you get exactly
what you came here for to find
so i have done all that i can not to
use any of that knowledge against you
and when you curl up next to me
and your sigh sings insecurities
i try my best to hide that
i’m not half the man you need
i’ve grown this beard for ages,
pray it will soon go as gray as
that old life i know your careless,
absent father made you lead
so i have done all that i can not to
use any of that knowledge against you
so you’ve achieved twice what i did
without giving too much thought to it
and still you shake the night away
crying at your knees
myself i know i’ll never love
but with you i’m getting close enough
so, yeah, you saved my life
but somehow you still don’t see
that there is really no more need
trying your old man to please
no star of endless strength could ever
shed the light you breathe
so i have done all that i can for to
use all of these here words to convince you
that all you did and whatever you’ll do
not only makes me proud but makes me love you

Love Is Not
03:15
|

some say love is not a picture
love is not a song
love is not in hearts and souls
it's nothing you were taught
they say love is not a feeling
it's not even good or bad
and it's really not an open palm
that gently strokes your head
they say love is not a flower
it's not growing into bloom
and love could never be
your savior or your doom
they also say that it's not endless
not even in your hopes
and it certainly don't make you laugh
cause it's also not a joke
turn it up, turn it up, listen close
there's a talk about love on the radio
some say love is not the answer
it's got no effect or goal
and they say that it ain't got no warmth
for this world so dark and cold
they say love is not a cigarette
nor a starlit midnight walk
and they say it can't be leading us
like an aging, blinding dog
they say love is not a butterfly
in your belly or your head
and love is not the raging sea
it's not even good in bed
they say love is not in color
on a plasma TV-screen
and love is not a gesture
be it gracious or obscene
turn it up, turn it up, listen close
there's a talk about love on the radio
but i found love it is more subtle
exactly like its name
it’s mostly coming easy
and leaves always so damn strange
but it’s also overrated
so it’s worthy of a song
and with all these expectations
we’re bound to go just wrong
so let’s lock love in a structure
a simple set of chords
a cage for it to look at
and no one will get hurt

Up Up and Gone
03:10

all my life i was roaming, i was a looking for a home
for a place to put the darker thoughts into a box where they belong
i was lonesome lonesome lonesome lonesome long before you came
better i aint knew it then, everyday just looked the same
nothing’s ever lonely
and nothing ever will
be brighter than the day my love
you were here with me
i’m a man who’s loved a thousand souls before his own
out of those thousand souls my dear, yours i loved the most
cowardice, adolescence but blurred my vision babe,
aint nothing i regret more than not keeping you safe,
nothing’s ever lonely
and nothing ever will
be brighter than the day my love
you were here with me
now i passed some days all by myself thought it’d do some good
right away this heart was aching like it usually never could
truth is darling, i’s always running, since the day that i could walk
but i finally found my resting place in the shelter of your heart.
nothing’s ever lonely
and nothing ever will
be brighter than today my love
you are here with me
nothing’s ever lonely
and nothing ever will
if you just be with me today
and tomorrow you will still

FWWL II

i braid your hair, wrap you in clothes
wollen socks, it’s getting cold
critical the doctors say
too many plans for too few days
that you have left but disregard
their prophecies and let’s embark
on frozen lakes on your two wheels
i push your chair in circles till
you raise your hand, the sign to stop
you giggle wildly full of hope
i goof around, you hide your fear
and i tell you we could make it at least another year
hands up hands down, they won’t always float around
they quite never found their place, now you won’t last another day
you have been my lucky strike but you won’t be here when i die
you press the sun against your cheeks
the only spot you really feel
i dont care how long i got
you tell me from your lion heart
as long’s you’re here to testify
that i had beauty in this life
it looks like you and it tastes so sweet
it feels and sounds still very real
so how can it be that from now on
each breath could be the last one that i draw
hands up hands down, they won’t always float around
they quite never found their place, now you won’t last another day
my blood grows still as yours runs cold, as pure as ash and gold and snow,
for the way the winds waves blow, so long you shall not return home
you have been my lucky strike but you won’t be here when i die
you’ll come upon an empty road
travelling from an empty shore
that you’ll reach in empty boats
scanning miles and miles of coasts
living life just fort o roam
throw a dice and set a goal
for the way that the wind blows
so long you shall not come back home
you’ll come upon an empty beach
stirring sand and catch the breeze
watch the sun until you sneeze
through the salty air you’ll breath
until it’s time to move along
you set your sail, direction none
let the waves just drag you on
before the sunset you’re long gone
