Start again, fading in,
tumbling isn’t bad
To remain on the ground
is what they had in mind
Better way, better choice,
better everything
It’s what they say, It’s what you buy,
It’s what you sell yourself
I’m a rambler
The drunk waiter offers me old bread
I’m drunk and satisfied
My expectations have reached a new low,
My happiness a new high
The pale soul of plastic chairs
The plastered ground
The hipster dad
You do it now, you did it before
and start all over again
Wait until you will find
something isn’t right
They will wait for you to step
step into their lights
They will prove that we’re wrong
cause we’re the ones who hide
I’m a rambler
The drunk waiter offers me old bread
I’m drunk and satisfied
My expectations have reached a new low,
My happiness a new high
The pale soul of plastic chairs
The plastered ground
The hipster dad

No One's Laughing

When did you start to be so old?
was it on your first or last day of school?
when did you start to act so responsible?
hear you saying the same old words
see you playing no different game
feel your heart still beating the same way all along
are you okay? can you still tell?
please mind my mind
if no one really knows
and no one ever gets there
how long are we supposed to laugh about the same joke
if no one really knows
we might as well be doing okay
doing okay
you’ve been saying you know where to go
you’ve been showing us. we thought you’d know
but really you don’t seem to have a clue now
oh ain’t that right?

While optimism never fails, Your stoicism can accept
Perfect ideas - All has been solved
That nihilist who doesn’t care, A relativist says it’s all fair
Books full of thoughts - Word after word
It has been said too many times
We might be deaf, we might be blind
What are we claiming, when did it start
Guess it even has been written in stone
Everything moves on I guess
Not everybody’s wrong with that
All we ever had is right
Not all we ever shared is bad
Every single day you choose
Your own little ways, you see
Whatever you decide is worth
To try and try again
What else is there to do?
Some of it might
Not be for us
Some of it can be
never undone
Much of it hurts
Most of it kills
Do you still remember how
Some of it heals?
You can’t deny
We take our part
In what is tearing
This world apart
Everything moves on I guess
Not everybody’s wrong with that
All we ever had is right
Not all we ever shared is bad
Every single day you choose
Your own little ways, you see
Whatever you decide is worth
To try and try again until
You‘ll see for yourself one day
At least that is what they all say
Not sure if I’m still on that way
Not sure if I’ll - remember that
Help me to remember

Cracks

Find and choose another broken crack
What else is there for you to see
What else is left for you to feel
What else is there for you to say
While life is tearing you apart
Let’s try to be real this time
been laying it out for you to take
it’s hard not to see the cracks
been pulling apart by time
and while I adored your life
it’s easy enough to look away
keep digging it up again
beneath your skin
Begin to peel away the many layers
keep digging up what has been lost
what hides behind your thickened skin
what makes it hard for you to breathe
what has been drowned in time again
Let’s try to be real this time
been laying it out for you to take
it’s hard not to see the cracks
been pulling apart by time
and while I adored your life
it’s easy enough to look away
keep digging it up again
beneath your skin

The upcoming record "Mind my Mind" is our best work so far. We put lots of thoughts, effort and time in the recordings and worked with Ron & Ritchie from K-Klangstudio in Hamburg, Germany.
