Bad Habits 03:39
Lately I’ve been kind of a bore I’m sleepwalking Through my life My feet are tired Who said a dream life is nice? With no friends around I went from happy to sad drunk It’s hard to believe A pretty girl like me Would ever feel so damn lonely Can you imagine you forgot To not be stuck in a rut? I struggle to keep my head clear So I always keep a bottle near Which might makes things worse It is an awful common curse As I get wiser with age My mind remains a cage Bad habits die hard

Toy Horses 03:09
At this time I can’t help but ask myself Who we’ve become and when exactly it took place? Though we go back a long way A pair like no other Mistaken for lovers Still got so estranged And I miss the old summer days There in the grass we sat outside With bare feet The sun shone bright On us two fools who never thought That one day they’ll be gone for good Many moons have passed And everything seems changed Across from me there sits a stranger We’ve become the dining dead The long silence that has grown - What if we could get past this? And what if we don’t? To lose a good friend Is so much worse than any wrecked romance There in the grass we sat outside With bare feet The sun shone bright On us two fools who never thought That one day they’ll be gone for good

Fish Tank 04:08
Under a peaceful summer sky A lovely dinner made by his wife The man kisses her goodbye “Dear, I’ll meet up with the guys” All the girls are already waiting Behind the glass they are displaying “Hey Sweetheart, I am the one for you” Two hours before a father to his son: “Boy, I just got paid and it’s a nice day to get laid.” “Grab your jacket, tonight you’ll become a man.” Never he thought his first time would be With a woman three times older than he But until he finds love He takes what he can Seems so easy to get affection In this paradise No need for mutual attraction What matters is the price Another day of work is done “C’mon girls, let’s have some fun!” “A few cocktails and flirts is all I need right now” When two pros meet it is up for debate Which one exactly gets to be paid Within this tank that’s how it goes It is not fish but cash that flows Seems so easy to get affection In this paradise No need for mutual attraction What matters is the price We make your fantasies come true Customer’s king but us you will not rule

You heart’s not made for it But at least give it a try As time goes by you will get used to it It just takes a little while Before you know it It is blindingly easy And not even you can recall the time You turned from sweet to sleazy As time goes on You keep on fooling around So there’s no happy ending to be found So, you can call me lover You can call me friend But don’t call me baby When I’m not the only one Expect the bad and prepare for the worse When three’s a crowd The only thought of two is: Who is leaving first? Querying whether to be with you is worth achieving But now your arm around me Is as always quite misleading You’re a masochist at heart And yet I’m the one who’s getting harmed So, you can call me lover You can call me friend But don’t call me baby When I’m not the only one

Who Else 03:32
When we’re together, Oh, I can see Beyond the usual colours Although I made myself blind, baby It is a treat to taste you And there’ll be no other After I cut off my tongue, it’s true I don’t know who else I’d love Since I’m used to loving you For such a long, long time I don’t know who else I’d care for ‘Cause I keep on carrying you with me In my heart People might think that I’m insane A cripple and an addict For driving up and down the same, old lane Things can’t stay a constant bliss But even that delicate pain Isn’t something that I ever wanna miss I don’t know who else I’d love Since I’m used to loving you For such a long, long time I don’t know who else I’d care for ‘Cause I keep on carrying you with me In my heart

Jupiter 04:08
Jupiter Jupiter Jupiter King of the Gods And God of the sky You left your throne And left us behind Jupiter Jupiter Jupiter King of the Gods And God of the sky You left your throne And left us to fight Are you there, God? Are you there? It feels like you have abandoned and forgotten us Down here on this earthly plane that is dying Are you there, God? Or are you dead? With all up in flames it’s hard to not feel the weight of guilt That we have destroyed what we have been given Are you there, God? Are you there? Is it the only way to save this rotting place Plagued by a disease called ‘human race’? Jupiter Jupiter Jupiter King of the Gods And God of the sky You left your throne And left us to die

Oh, Lady of Loreto Dear Lady of Loreto It’s been so long I can feel it in my bones It’s time for me to go I need to leave this place Send me your motherly love Help me to revive and rejoice Oh, Lady of Loreto Patron saint of us travellers Transferred and erected was my tormented soul My home was carried away Placed on soil that holds new joy and faith for me Oh, Lady Of Loreto Dear Lady of Loreto What a magical force you are Giving guidance and strength to all seekers of new paths I feel the wind in my back Leading me onwards eager but safe With you by my side I will get what I crave Patron saint of us travellers Transferred and erected was my tormented soul My home was carried away Placed on soil that holds new joy and faith for me

Beach Tryst 03:03
Come take my hand Come along my dear And join me in the sand Slip into the night Shadows are caressing Stars are dancing far and bright Even here in the dark It is so clear to me Our bodies’ holy symphony Is one of a kind And I hold on tight As the waves roll on And sing their soothing song I lose myself in ecstasy For you are in me My Darling Filling me whole Come take my hand Come along my Dear And join me in the sand What a state of bliss When between my legs You plant a tender kiss Even here in the dark It is so clear to me Our bodies’ holy symphony Is one of a kind And I hold on tight As the waves roll on And sing their soothing song I lose myself in ecstasy For you are in me My Darling Filling me whole I try so hard to memorise Every tiny detail of this paradise How well together our shapes have blend And I wish this beach tryst would never end

Darling, I’m sorry I know you have enough You’re tired of my bullshit But I keep messing up a lot I wish that things were different But they seem to just get rough After another sleepless night All you want is peace of mind Darling, our love became too much of a race One is running ahead, the other’s falling on its face But I don’t wanna complain I know not all is lost We can make it right All we need is some peace of mind Darling, I know that you’re sorry ‘Cause it’s not just me, it’s us We both wish it was easy Want to be happy and want love Being crazy is exhausting We can’t stop making a fuss Can’t stop lying Can’t stop crying Can’t stop fighting I need peace of mind! Oh, it’s so hard to find The courage to face the deepest dark In order to ignite The fire to transform the shadows into light Take what is and turn it on its head Our demons closing in Clutching and lusting to be fed Not giving up but giving in The old must to go To allow our better selves to grow

Every single day Every single day She makes her way Through the crowded streets Wishing desperately To go unnoticed by the sleazes and the drunken fucks That love to dominate and degrade It’s insane how little freedom and respect one gets By just being a member of the fairer sex Every single day Every single day It makes her sick It has always been that way Suddenly she couldn’t sleep anymore There was something deep inside that shook her to the core It was midnight when a thirst woke her up Turned out it was a thirst for blood And justice to be served It felt so right when she picked up the knife She knew she’d help saving so many lives To end the tormenting was her wish She confronted the threat The scum was easy to detect She pulled out the blade and gutted them like fish

Josephine 04:26
It was a night meant to be remembered When I put on my coat To bare the freezing cold outside (I wonder why?) To take a walk in the snow With the big, heavy load on my back What a mess I’ve made Going through it all in my head (Doesn’t it feel great?) When suddenly out of the blue You, who I’ve never met Stopped me and said: “Save your strength, it’s not the end yet Life’s got to be this tough sometimes I can see it in your eyes And here is my advice - Make yourself free There are things that just weren’t meant to be Make yourself free” Somehow you found me, somehow you knew I received your blessing And you urged me to go on (Back on my own) With all my dreads and fears It was all so odd and surreal Oh Josephine, the message you bring To us afraid to be alone and be strong (Oh Josephine) Your words would follow me Many years to come “Save your strength, it’s not the end yet Life’s got to be this tough sometimes I can see it in your eyes And here is my advice - Make yourself free There are things that just weren’t meant to be Make yourself free”
