Funeral Pyre

When the day grow old
And you´ve been giving enough
When the ashes are too cold to stay around
This valley runs deep
Between this mountain tops
And I hope to keep all my promises
Your mother’s cries
Still ringing in my ears
And the disbelief in your father’s eyes
I´ve done all I can
To carry you till the end
From here up high
I spread your ashes
You were never there …

Little Flaws
04:35

|
Soon there’ll be a lot of them
Standing in your hall
Homemade snacks and alcohol
Shoes are lying on the floor
But you would rather hide in the basement
Or crawl back into your bed.
„Please, tell them sorry
I´m not doing well.
Tell them I like them
And it’s not their fault.“
Just in time for the late night show
We arrived knocking at their door
She smiled at me with this bashful look
„Darling, I’m sorry that we’re always too late.“
After some hours I caught her talking to a stranger about his deepest fears
I guess small talk isn’t her thing
Or she can sense/ guess
Who has a troubled heart
In the aftermath
She keeps floating through our little livingroom
With a joyful heart
And her eyes glowing
She can’t stop talking about her night
And all the time
I keep smiling, enjoying all her little jokes
See it wasn’t all that bad, wasn’t it
I keep on telling she shouldn’t be so hard on
I keep on telling she shouldn’t be so hard on herself
But next time
When there´s a party
She slips back into old habits
As I watch her getting smaller
I just wanna take her by her hand

Amsterdam
03:40
|

|
See the lights in front of you
How they are dancing in the dark
Amsterdam, we´re coming through
There ain´t much room on this ark
There´s a sorrow deep within these walls
Crooked faces and four ancient gods
Bricks by bricks and stone on stone
Soon you all gonna drown
Funny is what you have said
You couldn´t change it anyway
There´s a sorrow deep within these walls
Crooked faces and four ancient gods
Above it all there´s a looming tide
Here to threaten all these tiny human lives

Last Dance
04:39
|

Tonight, I feel nothing
Besides the warmth
It´s dark out here
Apart from the light in our eyes
A blurry sky, A William Turner
And all fear of leaving seems far away
As long as nobody breaks the spell
Forget your name
Forget all your friends
A Whispering in the flames
You´re mine now
I can´t stop thinking about my younger self
stealing (pokemon) cards from another kid
Write your sins on a little sheet
And throw it into the flames
Much Like Phil Jackson did,
on the end of the last dance
I´ve never believed in karma
or in any cosmic plan
Please spare us the drama
and stay healthy kid
It´s too much to fit into my head
I´m afraid I can´t handle this
So I´m staying here for now
And let the fire burn away

Alright

You see, it´s alright.
Now we gonna end this
Now we gonna end this by ourselves
You´ve been at sea a long time
It´s like you never wanted
It´s like you never wanted to be here
You see, it´s alright.
Now I have to end this
Now I have to end this by myself
You were at sea your whole live
It´s like you never wanted
It´s like you never wanted to be here
And now that you´re gone
I don´t wanna stay here
I will leave this valley by myself.
