how are you
darling don’t tell me the truth
how are you, now
where’re you from, where will you go?
show me all the things I know
how are you, oh
I'm just another waste of time, tell me all your favorite lies
how are you, now
that you are falling
down on earth again
chemicals will help you
to erase your memories
lay your head on my chest
you'll be fine
I am your shelter for tonight
just for tonight
so tomorrow you're gone
I’m alone again
I don't know where you're from
I don't remember your name
how are you
darling don’t tell me the truth
how are you, now
where’re you from, where will you go?
show me all the things I know
how are you, oh
and every time I saw you
you had changed your name
when we sway we feel alive
how are you

City Gloom

I cling to you
'cause we feel the same
we're drunk and bored
we don’t belong here
come with me, there's a loophole to escape
suburbanites have always scared us, so we have to leave
yeah the city is screaming our names
take my hand and run away with me
everything we ever wanted is finally within reach
I can't wait to see it
the force of habit hits you there
no matter how far you run from the past
it always catches up and bites you hard
I miss the green fields and the smell of the woods
I miss my childhood
I am homesick
will I ever return?
where we see the stars
and fear does not exist
we are home
where I can see us dancing
and you're screaming my name
come and say my name
so tell me where do we belong now?
do you want to give up?
even if it kills us
there's no turning back
I betray myself
when the streets are shining
please take my hand
we're trapped in traffic lights
what have we done?
we have lost our roots
we betray ourselves
never wanted to wear those shoes

throw me back to 1991, I promise you I won´t change a thing
the problem isn’t me, it´s just the place we need to stay
so follow me, she said one day
follow me, escape, escape
think of all the joy you find
when you leave the world behind
I never wanted to grow up, but everything has changed
I want you to show me, how I can escape
fuck, take me away from everything
so think of the happiest things, it´s the same as having wings
on my run from all who banished me
so think of the happiest things, it´s the same as having wings
let me forget the mess I’ve left
but there is something I remember
her whisper in my head
“who are you?” and “please come back again”
when I try to repeat her words, when I try to find my wings
and I guess this time I’m not sleeping because I got this feeling more intense than last night
so think of the happiest things, it´s the same as having wings
on my run from all who banished me
all I need is somewhere far away
second star to the right, where we escape

Rain

oh kid don’t be stupid
don´t mess up your fucking life
there’s hope behind blurred walls
you can´t see with sleepy eyes
oh kid don´t give up now
there´s a world in front of you
keep your head up and your mind set
so much I need to show you
oh boy don´t play with fire
it might be
the warmth you need
take care of yourself tonight
it´s easier if you can hide
the warmth you need
replace the fucking cold inside
shut your eyes and give up the fight
this is just a rainy day
nothing has changed
I close the door and medicate myself
this is just a rainy day
nothing has changed
why does it always rain on me
I cannot sleep, or even dream
so what is in front of me
I´m selfish I know and always alone
too blind to see the demons I feed
I hide in self-destruction, my life is so destructive
I find comfort in self-pity, it´s too late I´ll never change
what should I be surprised about
I’ve seen it all
this is just a rainy day
always the same routine
this is just a rainy day
nothing has changed
I close the door and medicate myself
this is just a rainy day
nothing has changed
why does it always rain on me
and I know it’s harmful
to follow my demons
and I won’t overcome
my habits right now
and this is just a rainy day
nothing has, nothing has
ever changed

Save me from fading away
all I see is just the shape of your face
so tell me tell me I’m fine
lie to me
oh she blames me
‘cause i´m not good enough for her
oh blame me
now I’m a fool and I am useless
i´ll make your heart rain again
now I am a fool and I am useless
Break me, kill me, don´t be sorry
teach me how to dive into your waters
keep me, feel me, suffer from my words
tell me that I don’t deserve you
I don´t deserve your smile
I don´t deserve your love
maybe you are the reason I lose my mind
you´ve got my heart and all my selfish lies
beat me up with jealousy when I'm blind
but never let me go
Throw me back into my sorrows
if you leave there´s no tomorrow
the life I never had will end
thank you for the world you gave me
chest to chest i will follow
kiss me dear you told me how to
treat you when our love´s intense
keep it breathing, you´ve saved me
I am a fool, I am useless don´t let me fall
save me from fading away
I am fool I am useless so lie to me
save me from fading away
Break me kill me, don´t be sorry
teach me how to dive into your waters

Shelter (How Are You)
02:46
|

I lay my head to rest
I stopped bleeding from my wounds
I lay my head to rest
I stopped bleeding from my wounds
ages ago
and I wonder, what have we become
I used to be your medicine
now I’m the pain
and I wonder, what have we become
I used to be your shelter
now I am the rain, washing this all away
and I lay my head to rest
still wondering
how are you

do you remember
I saved your life
when we were dancing in the dirt
do you remember
we used to be one
but now I´m just a stranger to you
and I know it was my fault
I was too weak; I gave in
when we were so young
much too young
why don´t you remember me?
it hurts like fire
that never stops burning
the scars will never heal
I am addicted to you
do you remember
we used to be one
now I´m a stranger
do you remember
after all
I’m still broken
I can´t live without your smile
I still love you
after all you put me through
now you´re living the life
which was destined for us
I am standing here, alone
still fighting with my ghost
do you remember
we used to be one
now I´m a stranger
do you remember
do you remember me

I’m not safe when you´re with me
I can´t escape, even if I want to
you make me suffer from all I’ve ever loved
I’m not safe when you´re with me
she is mad and she´s magic
she´s a drug so addictive
there´s no lie in her fire
my lovely thief she´s a liar
please don´t speak
just dream
I have so many faces
only you can see the real
while I, I don´t know yours, it´s OK
I have so many faces
only you can see the real
fill the emptiness in my heart
with lies that I deserve

don´t fade away
let me swallow your life
don´t fade away
enough is enough
reach for my throat
your hands are cold
stay with me
don´t fade away
I need to break the silence
I need your voice surrounding me
don´t fade away
even if I lose my mind
I'll try to save your life if you decide to leave
maybe there´s a heaven
as they told us, as they preached
probably all we see is black, we never believed
in something divine, in humanity
at least all the demons
who speak to me, they speak to me
don´t fade away
let me swallow your life
don´t fade away
enough is enough
reach for my throat
your hands are cold
don´t let me fall
don´t fade away
don´t fade away
let me swallow your life
just stay with me
don’t fade away

Sinner (How I Am)
03:16
|
|||
there´s a stranger in the mirror
hello sinner, how are you?
what do you feel when they judge you?
why do you despise me?
why do you? you never ask me how I am
and it seems like you don´t want to understand
the truth
it´s easier to stigmatize, you turned a blind eye to me
so why do you call me a sinner?
without a reason you're judging me
even though you never felt the same
you feed my pain
no, if you don´t care, don´t speak to me
if you won´t help, you can not see
let me go
I know it´s time to lose it all
when the spoon in my hand almost glows
so I try
to leave it all behind
all my fears, all my life
my hands are shaking because they know it is time to lose it all
I´m a sinner, I´m a thief
all that you want me to be
there´s no difference
