waiting room.

song · lyrics & chords
inner monologue · live session

 

my life is a waiting room · waiting for bad news · faces full of hope others just tired · trapped in white walls wasting time · my life is a waiting room · waiting for hope to hold on to · my life’s hanging by a thread and I realize · I won’t but I feel like giving up · warning signs

I say I think I’d be fine if this was my final day · you say you’re much too young to feel that way

can someone help me · I need a hand to hold · I’m tired of fighting alone · patience has left me · now that I’ve come this far · get me out and carry me home

my life is a waiting room · waiting for me to choose · they say that I made it they say I’m healthy and free · but I lost faith in my body · my life is a waiting room · waiting for me to bloom · but I’m not yet ready can’t you see · it’s not that easy to realize that suddenly there’s so much more I could be

I say I think I’d be fine if this was my final day · you say you’re much too young to feel that way

can someone help me · I need a hand to hold · I’m tired of fighting alone · patience has left me · now that I’ve come this far · get me out and carry me home

 
 

something’s come between us · the reason that I need to talk · can’t unterstand your silence · I know you well but not well enough · what you don’t say I cannot hear · that’s why I wanna hear your voice · I didn’t come to end this · but to say how much I care about us

I don’t want to know who I am without you

I’m so scared of losing you · so scared · what we are is way too good · to lose · so say what you’ve been wanting to say · just say · I’d like to be there for you

It’s not that it’s not hard for me · to open up express my needs · I didn't want to cause you pain · but neither do I want to just go on like this · I just want us to do it better · than all those who stay silent getting more and more frustrated · cause not one damn thing changed

I never meant to hurt you

I’m so scared of losing you · so scared · what we are is way too good · to lose · so say what you’ve been wanting to say · just say · I’d like to be there for you

 
 

it feels like we’re shining peaks · floating through the streets · drifting like ice cold facades through the nights of the city · building worlds of make-believe · searchin’ for love between the sheets · on repeat we find heat but nothing that lets feelings in

trapped in ice get me out of here · I'm almost frozen · there's so much more of me I want to show you 

let’s break through the surface · I’ll show you my sincerity · want no longer be afraid of losing face · let’s thaw out · to let love in · c’mon let’s break through the surface · I’ll show you my sincerity · beauty lies deep within us · dive in · this is real

come along with me · let us be more than what we seem · no more hiding, exploring the bottom of our seas · darkest waters make clarity · all that glitters ain’t gold you’ll see · but honesty is the only thing if there should be a you and me

trapped in ice get me out of here · I'm almost frozen · there's so much more of me I want to show you 

let’s break through the surface · I’ll show you my sincerity · want no longer be afraid of losing face · let’s thaw out · to let love in · c’mon let’s break through the surface · I’ll show you my sincerity · beauty lies deep within us · dive in · this is real

trapped in ice no longer want to shiver · like a stream of thoughts under a frozen river · break through you’ll find the greater part of me · revelation is the only thing · that will set me free · set me free · I’ll show myself in honesty

let’s break through the surface · I’ll show you my sincerity · want no longer be afraid of losing face · let’s thaw out · to let love in · c’mon let’s break through the surface · I’ll show you my sincerity · beauty lies deep within us · dive in · this is real

 

better now.

song · lyrics & chords
inner monologue · live session

 

you know we've tried · probably not enough · we can't deny · oh just look at us · you and I · it seems to be cursed · eye to eye · it breaks my heart

I’ve somehow never made it before · maybe I’ve lacked the strength · but now I’m missing myself more · more than you ever did

so I let go · I walk away · better now · than too late · let’s dissolve all our pain · there’s nothing we can rearrange · I let go · better now than too late

let's face the truth · we have built on sand · it slowly slipped through our hands · the tears and anger made us collapse · a crumbling castle on a flooded river bank · all thats left

I’ve somehow never made it before · maybe I’ve lacked the strength · but now I’m missing myself more · more than you ever did

so I let go · I walk away · better now · than too late · let’s dissolve all our pain · there’s nothing we can rearrange · I let go · better now than too late

you know we've tried · probably not enough · we can't deny · oh just look at us

so I let go · I walk away · better now · than too late · let’s dissolve all our pain · there’s nothing we can rearrange · I let go · better now than too late

 

fragile.

song · lyrics & chords
inner monologue · live session

 

you knew what shaped my life you admired my optimism · it's like I started to hold on to your recognition of my positivity · I began to identify with being strong that it’s what makes me · like a treasure that I have to keep no matter what breaks me

I got used to being strong on the outside · I even stopped showing myself my own weakness · didn’t show what broke so hard on the inside · afraid you would leave if you saw me bleeding


but now I know · that being fragile · is something beautiful · so I show · you all my sides · from now on and forevermore


I went through damn hard times and I didn’t get a break · started to mask myself in lies kept loosing my way · to be honest there was a time nothing was as it seemed · didn’t you hear me when I went silent? it felt lonely

didn’t show what broke so hard on the inside · afraid you would leave if you saw me bleeding


but now I know · that being fragile · is something beautiful · so I show · you all my sides · from now on and forevermore

you are loved even if you fall hard so don’t hide the truth
open up and share your doubts just keep being you
you are loved even if you fall hard so don’t hide the truth
open up and share your doubts just keep being you

but now I know · that being fragile · is something beautiful · so I show · you all my sides · from now on and forevermore

 

stream.

song · lyrics & chords
inner monologue · live session

 

I never really know if I'm coming or going · if it’s me or life that’s putting stones in my way · don't know if I am just too tired to sleep · or afraid of missing out on things that don't really interest me

am I hanging my head too low or lifting it up a little too high · is gravity keeping me from getting up or holding me to the ground

it feels like I'm running against the wind · like I'm swimming against a stream · I fight something that might not just be me · it feels like I'm under water when I need to breathe · like being incomplete · even though I’ve got everything I need ·is it the pace of life we are living · tell me where will it lead

am I going new ways or the old ways again · have I found my north or lost direction · am I living my dreams or am I detached from reality · when are stories beautified and when does it start to be a lie

am I getting too close to the edge or does the world begin where this road ends · how can I become something in a world where I could be anything else

it feels like I'm running against the wind · like I'm swimming against a stream · I fight something that might not just be me · it feels like I'm under water when I need to breathe · like being incomplete · even though I’ve got everything I need ·is it the pace of life we are living · tell me where will it lead

when days are too short · and life’s too loud · I can’t feel what’s right or wrong · feather my heart get me out · when time’s running against me · and everything gets too much · turn my tired sails into the wind · feather my heart get me out

it feels like I'm running against the wind · like I'm swimming against a stream · I fight something that might not just be me · it feels like I'm under water when I need to breathe · like being incomplete · even though I’ve got everything I need ·is it the pace of life we are living · tell me where will it lead

 

driftwood.

song · lyrics & chords
inner monologue · live session

 

I let myself fall · weightlessly · I fall into the arms you offer me · I learn how to love the things I’ll be · with all my flaws · unconditionally

hold me till I feel it · don’t hold back · it touches me deeply · this love frees me and all my tears · I'm happily crying


I am floating like driftwood · the water beneath carries my wounds · nothing can describe our bond · I wash to you · where I’m found

hold me till I feel it · don’t hold back · it touches me deeply · this love frees me and all my tears · I'm happily crying

I let the water shape me · and strip me of my bark · I let the current take me · crying’s the only way to burst

hold me till I feel it · don’t hold back · it touches me deeply · this love frees me and all my tears · I'm happily crying

 

came my way.

song · lyrics & chords
inner monologue · live session

 

you’ve uncovered the truth of my soul · so patiently · you’ve shown me how to love and how to get to know that I’m worth loving · you saved me from myself · you’ve seen what I will be · when I lost the plot so bad · you gave the strenght I never had to me

when you came into my life · it felt like you’re the sun · I turned to face you · like a flower that wants to grow


boy · I’ll always remember the day you came my way · and how my soul found rest in your embrace · the calm of your voice that said «let go you’re safe» · you laid me on the shore kept me from rolling waves ·
boy· I’ll always remember the day you came my way

we have grown through · on and with each other · we’ve sown the seeds so today we can reap trust without walls · we don't believe in much except in «we can last forever» · and to me lifelong suddenly sounds so possible

when you came into my life · it felt like you’re the sun · I turned to face you · like a flower that wants to grow

boy · I’ll always remember the day you came my way · and how my soul found rest in your embrace · the calm of your voice that said «let go you’re safe» · you laid me on the shore kept me from rolling waves ·
boy· I’ll always remember the day you came my way

you’re guiding me through darkest nights · there’s nothing to fear as long as I know I walk by your side · we travelled through valleys and hills · lowest lows highest heights · it brought us so close so you’re the harbor in which I’ve got nothing to hide

boy · I’ll always remember the day you came my way · and how my soul found rest in your embrace · the calm of your voice that said «let go you’re safe» · you laid me on the shore kept me from rolling waves ·
boy· I’ll always remember the day you came my way

 

light on.

song · lyrics & chords
inner monologue · live session

 

I'm worried about you · I haven't seen you for so long · is there anything I can do · I can feel something is wrong

come on in · let your feelings run wild · wherever you've been · just let me hold you tight

if you ever lose your way · and you're feeling down and out · I will always let you in · I will leave the light on

I want to understand you · you think that's not possible · but I know what it feels like · when nothing holds you anymore

so let it out · let your feelings run wild · shout if you wanna shout · cry if you wanna cry

if you ever lose your way · and you're feeling down and out · I will always let you in · I will leave the light on

you don't have to make me laugh · and you don't have to pretend that you are fine · it’s okay the way you are · I can see that something’s tearing you apart · no matter how many clouds may cover your sky · I will never give up · never give up on you

if you ever lose your way · and you're feeling down and out · I will always let you in · I will leave the light on

 

the alchemist.

song · lyrics & chords
inner monologue · live session

 

I began to envy the wind for its freedom · until I realized that I could be just as free · nothing kept me from beeing what I dreamed of · except my thoughts and the fear of what I couldn’t achieve

there’s no light without shadow · no joy without sorrow · there’s no success without failure


you’ll never know how to fly if you never fall · don't worry about straying from the road · you’ll never know how to fly if you never fall · it’s just another step on your way to gold


I began to bury my doubts with decisions · the letting go of constant hesitation made me see new paths · the closer I got to my dream the more I felt its reason cause · every risk I took brought me one step closer to myself

there are no highs without lows · no balance without overflow · there’s no something without nothing

you’ll never know how to fly if you never fall · don't worry about straying from the road · you’ll never know how to fly if you never fall · it’s just another step on your way to gold

wherever your heart is you will find your treasure · every new trial leads you to places you’d never have dreamed of · doesn’t matter how often you stumble and fail · as long as you know about your ability to stand up again

you’ll never know how to fly if you never fall · don't worry about straying from the road · you’ll never know how to fly if you never fall · it’s just another step on your way to gold

 

heart on fire.

song · lyrics & chords
inner monologue · live session

 

I can’t get you out of my head · and the things that we feel but don’t say · maybe in another life · it kinda echoes in my mind · how could we let it get this far · let us fall into each other’s arms · a looks enough no need to speak · we understand each other silently

when I run into you I feel things I never did · our hug lasts a bit too long for it to mean nothing · the timing’s not right now and it may never be · it may never be

who are you to set my heart on fire · who are youto break my heart’s desire · you and I · that’s something that we can’t deny · who are you to set my heart on fire

all these lines we don’t read in between · all these signs we don’t know what they mean · our past still makes me long for more · a fragile whisper knocking at my door

when I run into you I feel things I never did · our hug lasts a bit too long for it to mean nothing · the timing’s not right now and it may never be · it may never be

who are you to set my heart on fire · who are youto break my heart’s desire · you and I · that’s something that we can’t deny · who are you to set my heart on fire

 

when silence falls.

song · lyrics & chords
inner monologue · live session

 

from writing behind a wall to singing in spotlight · a mental overcome night by night · no matter how she feels she has to smile · no questions are asked as long as you shine

when she comes home at night and silence falls · no flashing lights · no applause · everything is quiet · circling thoughts · why can’t you satisfied · you have reached so much · it should be enough

she’s breathing in the night when she’s walking home · voices are fading behind every closing door · street light shadows catching up with her ·
a flood of impressions another lesson to learn

when she comes home at night and silence falls · no flashing lights · no applause · everything is quiet · circling thoughts · why can’t you satisfied · you have reached so much · it should be enough

 
 

her feet on the ground, her head in the clouds, she doesn't have much, but it's enough; her odds are low
her mind is strong she’s fighting, with will, she’s fighting still

she will go whatever the distance, she finds her faith in persistence

if you ask her, she honestly says there’s no reason to doubt for her. if you ask her, she honestly says that everything’s worked out so far

her suspect smile, he’s gone for a while, she’s totally sure, he'll come back home; when her chips are down and no one's around she's holding on to her own.

she will go whatever the distance, she finds her faith in persistence

if you ask her, she honestly says there’s no reason to doubt for her. if you ask her, she honestly says that everything’s worked out so far

strong heart, strong mind, strong soul
strong blood, strong back, strong bones
strong thoughts, strong words, strong tone (2x)
her story needs, her story needs, needs to be
  told

if you ask her, she honestly says there’s no reason to doubt for her. if you ask her, she honestly says that everything’s worked out so far

 

home-coming.

song · lyrics & chords · video

 

you give me shelter, you keep me safe when times are rough. I hold on your shoulder, I seek for you when life is tough; you give me freedom you back my dreams, you teach me how to fly. I’m feeling weightless I reach out to endless skies

I’m feeling safe and sound wherever i am with you
if we divide, we'll find each other again through the truth; this is homecoming

you give me wisdom, you share a new philosophy. I just love to listen adapt my thoughts to set me free; you make me believe you make me try, you let me grow. I‘m feeling taller I found myself, a place that I call home

I’m feeling safe and sound wherever i am with you
if we divide, we'll find each other again through the truth; this is homecoming

 

tides of life.

song · lyrics & chords · video

 

we’re the water movements of the ocean, the highs, the lows, the ebb, the flow; somewhere between rise and fall
we manage to keep ourselves afloat

when the moon and the sun shaking my world up again, as if it wasn't enough the force of the wind changes

there’s no need to hide, to smile or to cry, these are the tides, the tides of life; It’s worth the fight, there will be light, these are the tides , the tides of life


in a constant rhythm or as if nothing was like before
either way we kiss the shore; between the shallow and the depths of the sea, we learn to trust our gravity

when the moon and the sun shaking my world up again, as if it wasn't enough the force of the wind changes

there’s no need to hide, to smile or to cry, these are the tides, the tides of life; It’s worth the fight, there will be light, these are the tides , the tides of life


either way, either way we kiss the shore (6x)

there’s no need to hide, to smile or to cry, these are the tides, the tides of life; It’s worth the fight, there will be light, these are the tides , the tides of life

either way, either way we kiss the shore (3x)

 

last night.

song · lyrics & chords

 

no I‘m not the kind of woman thats being social all the time sometimes I wonder; where these days are coming from that feel so off and every word I say feels wrong - and I‘m sorry if you suffer when this worlds a bit too much for me to handle; but I promise you that I‘ll be back on track before tomorrow comes along

I know I’ve fucked up lately, so I saw it coming when you texted me that we needed to talk

last night, I had it on the tip of my tongue; it's like you’re dancing to my favourite song; boy, I like you so much more than you know; but you are better off alone


I remember how you said, that you believe in better days, it won't be long now; you made me aim for so much more, than what I would have settled for; you made me stronger - but still this city feels too small, while the people are too loud, I just can't stand it; that you've given all you’ve got, I still can't give what you deserve, it just ain't fair no

then you texted me that we needed to talk

last night, I had it on the tip of my tongue; it's like you’re dancing to my favourite song; boy, I like you so much more than you know; but you are better off alone

despite, all the times I’m treating you wrong; I’m uptight, I know I held it back much too long; boy, I like you so much more than you know; but you are better off alone

I’m sorry I can't, I'm lost, can't pretend
I don’t want you to hurt, this has to end

I’m sorry I can't, I'm lost, can't pretend
don’t want you to hurt, this has to end

last night, I had it on the tip of my tongue; it's like you’re dancing to my favourite song; boy, I like you so much more than you know; but you are better off alone

despite, all the times I’m treating you wrong; I’m uptight, I know I held it back much too long; boy, I like you so much more than you know; but you are better off alone

 

feet on the ground.

song · lyrics & chords

 

don’t worry ‘bout me I’ll be fine on my own, even if I’m still stumbling I won’t break a bone; I’ve packed a couple of bags- an empty room - I’m leaving. there are reasons to doubt but no fear to believe in

give me wings, hold me tight let me go, the time has come to set out; let me fly, a kind of goodbye you will see, I’ll land with both feet on the ground, feet on the ground.

the sun is shining, I wear your smile on my face, the wind in my back, exploring new space; you're a part of me in everything I do and with everything I am, I want to thank you

give me wings, hold me tight let me go, the time has come to set out; let me fly, a kind of goodbye you will see, I’ll land with both feet on the ground, feet on the ground.

and If you haven’t heard from me for a while, you can be sure that I’m doing fine

 

edi’s song.

song · lyrics & chords · video

 

you take me aside, trembling hands, saying you’re full of life, but life has changed its plans; I try to understand, emptiness fills my head. I can't believe this should be the edge of your path

we lost time, we lost the fight
a fragile, finite physical life
but you’re infinity, what you were it's still here

the end of spring came and took you away, flowering colours turn to grey; memories flash by words lose their sound. my heart's beating quieter, life slows down.

we lost time, we lost the fight
a fragile, finite physical life
but you’re infinity, what you were it's still here

the wind and the rain will carry you on
what you were will always last
the way you laugh, your fears and love                  
the fight and the day you left (2x)

we lost time, we lost the fight
a fragile, finite physical life
but you’re infinity, what you were it's still here

 

winter.

song · lyrics & chords

 

cheerless, overclouded
fog is rising, leafless trees
everything stays out
lights, life, melodies

tacitly, times passing by
like a river that flows and gets lost
dejection‘s overpowering
while life runs its course

out of the window
I see colours trying to flee
white, gray and brown replacing
yellow, red and green

with the frustration of last night
a new day is at hand
only the dawn, but it’s just a spring lie
telling me: don’t get mad

the wind churns up the water
I can’t handle the wild flow
I’m trying but I can’t see
the horizon anymore

and ‘cause I just can’t
avoid my sadness anymore
I lay down to sleep - go
leave me alone 

I dim down the lights
every fantasy derails
close my eyes - good night
dream myself into paradise

 

constant search.

song · lyrics & chords

 

we question everything even if we don’t like the answer oh we put up walls to distance ourselves from it all; escaping to imagination cause the reality is not good enough let us face the truth to pretend, doesn’t make sense our mirror image will remain unchanged

we’re always looking for, always looking for a little more - higher, faster, stronger, tell me when it’s over
always rival with each other loosing ourselves in this struggle higher, faster, stronger, tell me when it’s over   
  

we love to feel love but we can’t stand the rejection, we hide behind our jokes as a form of protection; we’ve got that hunger in our hearts to look for, what can’t be found, can’t be found

we’re always looking for, always looking for a little more - higher, faster, stronger, tell me when it’s over
always rival with each other loosing ourselves in this struggle higher, faster, stronger, tell me when it’s over   
 

stop comparing, stop justifying

 

farewell.

song · lyrics & chords

 

I think back to the time I left, I had the chance now there’s someone else; I keep my pace ‘cause I feel cold, I run next to me blue glass dust snow falls

I‘m out, I‘m sure I have to leave to stay with myself;
we wanted more than we could achieve what‘s left is a farewell


on a frozen lake mountains deep white, hardly to separate from the dusty sky; snowflakes dancing in the wind in the hope it’s not true dawning light is seeping there’s nothing left to do

I‘m out, I‘m sure I have to leave to stay with myself;
we wanted more than we could achieve what‘s left is a farewell

even if there’s nothings harder than to leave, I don’t dream anymore of what we could be

I‘m out, I‘m sure I have to leave to stay with myself;
we wanted more than we could achieve what‘s left is a farewell; we wanted more than we could achieve what‘s left is a farewell

 

when will the sky lighten up?

song · lyrics & chords

 

every morning he goes through the door and every morning the same question - what am I doing this for? days pass by, sliding away, everything‘s in a hurry the speed of life has made him dizzy a nine to five, a good wage - it’s ok, but not fullfilling

is some diversity out there, that set things moving? a promise of light somewhere?

when will the sky lighten up? also for me, also for me
when will the sun come out? also for me, also for me


the same morning, another man, dawn is breaking,
between cold breeze and cold people he‘s awaking
finds places to sleep but no place to call home a lack of being considered in this city another weathered night, another day - it’s ok, but not fullfilling

where is my salvation out there, the sun that keeps me warm? a promise of light somewhere?

when will the sky lighten up? also for me, also for me
when will the sun come out? also for me, also for me

oh I need to keep fighting against the voices I should ignore - my promise of light somwhere 

when will the sky lighten up? also for me, also for me
when will the sun come out? also for me, also for me

 

noise.

song · lyrics & chords · video

 

we have to hurry, we’re already too late I can’t describe, but my whole body shakes; high speed, we’re saving minutes, rarely find time to fill our spirit

everything is rushing by and we are noise, there’s hardly any time left for little joys; fast world, fast living, fast changing lights, too much information in too less time; everything is rushing by - we are noise

we don‘t see ourselves clearly in photographs, blurry faces, only traces of light; too many frequencies, too much interaction our live’s: a gallery with fast changing captions

everything is rushing by and we are noise, there’s hardly any time left for little joys; fast world, fast living, fast changing lights, too much information in too less time; everything is rushing by - we are noise

we don’t know where we're going, we're rushing, rushing by, taking too little time to slow down don’t you realize?

eeverything is rushing by and we are noise, there’s hardly any time left for little joys; fast world, fast living, fast changing lights, too much information in too less time; everything is rushing by - we are noise

 
 

you wake up in the middle of the night you fall out like a loser in a fight; you don’t know where you’re running but you run ‘cause running’s the thing you’ve always done

oh, oh, oh!

you’ve got a homesick heart but a long way’s left to go
and no one’s there to show you the way home; you don’t know what you’re doing but you know what you’ve done, waiting all night that it comes back to you all the wrong

get up, get out! you’re caught within’ these walls so high; step up, break out! from the prison of your mind

it’s time to forget about the past; to wash away what happened last (2x)

get up, get out! you’re caught within’ these walls so high; step up, break out! from the prison of your mind

 

the start of something beautiful.

song · lyrics & chords · video

 

this is the start of something beautiful, to set out after all the fights we‘ve had; after all the fog we didn’t see through, the chance to forget what happened last

take me by the hand, let’s stand tall; take me by the hand, remember what we’re living for, what we’re living for (2x)

today can be a good day, full of forgiveness, courage and tenderness; I’m sorry for what I did and ready to turn the sails into the wind

take me by the hand, let’s stand tall; take me by the hand, remember what we’re living for, what we’re living for (2x)

peace is just coming if you accept it it all can turn to good; don’t want to quarrel anymore ‘cause I’ve got so much love for you

take me by the hand, let’s stand tall; take me by the hand, remember what we’re living for, what we’re living for (2x)

this is the start of something beautiful
