Track Name: Komm näher
Komm näher

Du wirst sehn, dass das Leben sich dreht,
wenn du dich drehst und immer weiter gehst
Ach komm näher, komm näher zu mir!

Ich steh am Abgrund
Auf völlig falschem Farbgrund
Beziehungen aufgebaut auf totalem Seelenwund
Energie verbraucht, Herz abgeraucht,
Kopf zersägt, Fuß verstaucht

Du wirst sehn, dass das Leben sich dreht,
wenn du dich drehst und immer weiter gehst
Ach komm näher, komm näher zu mir!

Ich stand am Abgrund
Auf völlig falschem Farbgrund
Beziehungen aufgebaut auf totalem Sellenwund
Energie verbraucht, Herz abgeraucht,
Kopf zersägt, Fuß verstaucht

Ich drehte meine Runden, suchte einen Berg
Du hast mich festgebunden an meinem Laufrad,
gabst mir einen Turm, hoch genug um nicht zu ertrinken

Gib mir nen bisschen Grund zum leben
Gib mir nen bisschen was zum schweben
Ich kann das alles nicht mehr heben
Wollte ich doch nach unserm Glück streben

Track Name: The Lonely Animal Song
The Lonely Animal Song

I had a Dream
And I dreamed it a million times
Night after night it came to me
But I wonder will it ever come true
My dream was Fragile and Wild

My dream was to form a band
To be like a unit and hit the road
Hit it real good for years to come
To be one family
Have the good times and the bad times

I talked a lot about it
And I wished for the good old days,
but seeing signs on the wall, not really helped not from seeing it fall
But in the end it always comes down to this one:
The only Love there is, is the Love we make!

I had a Dream
And I dreamed it a million times
Night after night it came to me

But it’s so out of time to give commitment, true love,
All that we have learned is contrary to that

I had a Dream
And I dreamed it a million times
Night after night it came to me
Always hit me in cold sweat

My expectations were high
And my pride was strong
But no matter how hart I had tried,
in the end I nearly died

I had a dream
And I dreamed it a million times
Night after night it came to me
Always hit me in cold sweat

Track Name: Brickland
Brickland

Storm is coming
Lightening above you and me
Get in the car
We have to get out of fear
Dark clouds, eyes wide shut
Out of brickland
Into the happyland

Gated hearts on gated people
Peak oil, peak Frame, peak Fame
Last Chance, every minute counts, SOS
Out of brickland
Into the happyland
War Wedding, only the best can win!

I can’t sleep anymore
I am afraid of you!
I can’t sleep anymore
I can’t dream anymore
I can’t breath anymore
I am afraid of you!
I am afraid, I am afraid of myself!

Other mothers have nice girls too...
That’s what the others might say
Drinking as a part of me, sinking like a ship on a deep see
When you hold my head, I was so glad
I fought my way through,
while you lived on the sunny side
I burned out while you lived on the other side
And I am off to neverneverland again

I can’t sleep anymore
I am afraid of you!
I can’t sleep anymore
I can’t dream anymore
I can’t breath anymore
I am afraid of you!
I am afraid, I am afraid of myself!
