Take Me Home
03:54

So this is what you are
doing wrong for a living
this business that you're in
leading to be short of giving much love
Why do you hurt yourself
Need no excuse for destroying
don't be somebody else
you are complete all along
Don't get exposed too much
You might want back what you're giving
Respect yourself as much
As you'd rather see yourself living alone
I don't want my children grow up like this
Holding my hands over a bully like this
Feeling regret for broken dreams like this
Turning away from images like this
Take me home to my own sanity
Take me home show some humanity

Leave Me Alone
03:46

Oh boy you're goddamn right you never get to sleep alone
just close your eyes and hear the voices talking on and on
You wake up late at night there's people in the street you hear
them almost start a fight there's no way to espace that fear
Hear him crying
feel him bleed
hear them running
feel the agony
Oh god just let me sleep again
Those voices
Leave me alone again
The other night my doorbell rang I didn't dare to wake
Some ugly demons made feel this agony again
There's people laughing in the street they wouldn't let me go
another fight this time no sound will pass my ears oh no
Can't hear him crying
can't feel him bleed
don't hear them running
but feel the agony
Oh god just let me sleep again
Those voices
Leave me alone again

Face The Day
03:45
|
|
||
I’m waking up too early
The birds are screaming in my ear
No way to fall asleep again
To face the day seems like the end
It’s been too many years
Since saying „yes“ became a friend
Just one more time I hit the road
Say to myself „well, it’s okay somehow“
My dreams are gone
too far away
Wait till it’s done
I hope I won’t stay long
When I go back to rest
There is no hope for sleep at all
A glass or ten are well in vain
Some hours late I’ll sure drift off - sometimes
My dreams are gone
too far away
Wait till it’s done
I hope I won’t stay long
I feel nothing at all

Secret
03:30
|
|
||
I just don’t like what I see round here
Take one step back and let me sort it out
Come take your arm round my neck right now
I’d like to kiss you and take you places
I’m the secret in your dreams
You know me
Don’t dare to spit me out
Sometimes you might recall why I’m here
You wonder where all the pain comes from
Don’t worry I’m gonna stay right here
You’ll never ever get rid of me, cause
Sorry you got cancer now
You blame me
You didn’t sort things out
Won’t you ever talk bout me
I warn you
I’m gone when you spit me out

The Real Deal
05:09
|
|
||
I wanna see what's the real deal
I wanna see what's your real feel
I wanna see what you're playing
I wanna see who's to blame here
Describe what life is all about
When you're all done
Describe what life is all about
When they're right here
Don't wanna hear it's all for us
While you don't care
Don't wanna see you smile at us
While you're a lie
I wanna see what's the real deal
I wanna see what's your real feel
I wanna see what you're playing
I wanna see who's to blame here

It's okay
I'm not the one who's in charge
I won't stay
this time I'll move out for sure
Right today
You won't see me anymore
Yes I'll pay
You can trust me, you know?
It's alright
I'll put it right back you can
trust me tonight
just leave me alone until
I decide
If I'll take it today or tomorrow
Hey come on
Don't let me down this time
I'll be gone
In two years or three anyway
I'm so lone
Just one more time for a friend
Hey come on
God, not this time
Leave me alone, you know
I'll be fine
Don't ever touch this cause
It's all mine
I need it today and tomorrow
Who do you think you’re talking to
Hey get up
Hope I didn't hurt you too much
You just dropped
I warned you but hey you just
wouldn't stop
Okay, I lost my temper
I came out on top
You'd better stay down there

Sun To Grey
04:12
|
|

And it's all the same old lie again
with all new colours, an all new frame
It's still the same old lie again
All over again
And against all better knowledge
I get up again, come back again
And against all better knowledge
I start talking again
And I'm living through all tears again
through all those years of defense again
And I'm living through your tears again
All over again
And I paper over the cracks again
I talk until they're good again
Still I paper over the cracks again
All over again
Better days lie ahead
Sun to grey stay in bed
Of me
And it feels just like it's a dead end road
A dead end road it's a dead end road
It feels just like it's a dead end road
A dead end road
From sun to grey it's a heavy load
A heavy load it's a heavy load
From sun to grey it's a heavy load
A heavy load

Too Dark
04:24
|
|
||
White chairs surrounding
A carpet in red
I’m tired of laughing
We're all in bed
Misery is present
Making its way
Into our dreams
Where it will stay
And it's too dark
And it's too dark
No there is nothing ahead
Right now
She's weeping without
A reason inside
No color in live
No meaning around
No light at the end
No tunnel is near
Nothing around
Not even fear
And it's too dark
And it's too dark
No there is nothing ahead
Right now
Hit me and i won't complain
Kill me and it will remain

Worn Legs
02:17
|
|
||
Hours too late no train behind me
Nobody there but my worn legs
The last sink I’ve seen starts to fade now
A raven sits down on my hat
I feel there’s someone in the distance
I’m sure he’s after me somehow
„No Sir I didn’t go to highschool,
right over there I made my way“
Buzzing rain drops down my nose

Sunday Mourning
04:53
|
|
||
Every time I come around there
And I should be feeling fine
I know I don’t belong around there
I just can’t make it a good time
It’s just sunday mourning
I’m gonna change my life until tomorrow
I’ll be renewed
Every time the phone is ringing
And it’s not the usual time
I’m real afraid to pick it up
Somebody could have died
But not this time
It’s just sunday mourning
I’m gonna change my life until tomorrow
I’ll be renewed
There are days when I hit the road
I feel as if I’m gonna crash
Even tough it never happens
I’m still afraid to press his flesh
But not this time

When I Walk I See Smiles
04:47
|
|
||
Imagine life 200 years ago
Can’t see any difference at all
There’s one to tell us all what’s good and bad
And what to believe in
Imagine what you wear is what you sow
Can’t see why to throw it away
Noone to tell us all what’s good and bad and what to believe
Noone to show us all what food is bad and what to believe
When I walk I see smiles
I see love I see mothers and fathers with children and I ask myself
Where in the world do they find happiness
When there’s terror all over the place
guess they don’t give a damn
Imagine what you hear is what you know
Can’t see any difference at all
No matter how big the load of crap you have to believe it
No other point of view is possible can’t help but believe it
When I walk I see smiles
I see pain I see brothers and sisters surviving a cold winter night
Out in the streets where the people won’t give anything
But a nauseating look
When I walk I see smiles
I see love I see hate I see husbands and wives living a TV soap
I ask myself where they find all the energy
to overcome all their agony
When I walk I see smiles
I see children believing in something that takes all their hard times away
Finding another poor sinner
Asking for sugar or something alike
When I walk I see smiles
I see mothers and fathers with children and I ask myself
Where in the world do they find happiness
When there’s terror all over the place
I guess they just don’t give a damn

Watch
03:36
|
|
||
Come watch the sunrise with me
some tidal waves wash the shore
And I walk you right home
Where you and I belong
So much impressions behind
Those lives feel peaceful at times
And we come and disturb
But learn another pace

I'm here to write, perform and spread music that has its roots in pop with influences from soul, jazz and folk rock. Ever since I discovered the guitar as a means to express my feelings in 1985, I'm constantly refining and clearing the channel through which I receive, digest and send out music. I recorded "The Endless Stream Of Everything" to share my love and songs with you. ... more
