Nightingales

I’ve got a vision of elimination
Trees suffer from intoxication
I don’t need any deliberation
Breaking through the canvas

A parasite’s falling down from the ceiling
Everything we don’t need is believing
My mind is never repeating
Stories of a lifetime on and on…

Where is my sympathy, my little symphony?
It is not yet gone
My nightingale sings through the night
And suddenly everything just looks so bright
Hummingbirds are falling over
Night skies are shining at the port of Dover

Nightingales sing over and over
Every night in the city of Dover
Never used any kind of vocoder
Greedy for a blue sky

Paranoia as a child of my sorrows
Yesterday and today and tomorrow
I was never ever building a hollow
Came to a conclusion

Where is my harmony, my own philosophy?
Nowhere to be found
I can remember the sound of pity
Every time when I walk through this city
Borders need to be defined
In spite of wide open eyes I feel so blind

Hallelujah to the people around me
Reputation is a color that I see
Sing a song ‘cause my mind needs to be free
Clap on all the sails

Resignation is a part of a dead man
Break your back and your wings than you will can
Find a place to go back and to stay friends
And I will stay alive.

Bedside Lamp
Days go by while minutes stop dead
Receding in importance, denying the past
Exceptions are made when limits run low
With the utmost effort i go
Through fire and water for someone like you
In the tight corner right where i am
Shadows of nothing and a bedside lamp

I can’t take it anymore
I can’t take it anymore
It doesn’t matter what you say
I can’t take it anyway

Fastness storms the strongholds of you
In order to prove what you really do
Alarm bells ring through your empire of dirt
Cluelessly waiting for something to say
Departure is nothing but walking away
Shipless oceans where memory lasts
Red is the blood so is the past

I can’t take it anymore
I can’t take it anymore
It doesn’t matter what you say
I can’t take it anyway
I can’t take it anyway
I can’t take it anyway
It doesn’t matter what you say
I can’t take it anyway

Commitment devours the facts you can see
And light bulb moments in its entirety
Apartness occurs as a widget of life

I can’t take it anymore
I can’t take it anymore
It doesn’t matter what you say
I can’t take it anyway.
