Peregrine 03:55
PEREGRINE these broken soulwings bound with puppetstrings roam about the roundabout in your head, in and out your biotope´s claim freedom is aim but where did you leave and why do you live in houses old an tight in rooms with not even light peregrines should slide not thin and through the air they slide and you still try to fly up high but this old wound ties you on the ground I wanna give you a time machine for undo all the grief we´ve seen the fractures of hearts and bones and minds and kids and stones then you could fly well wings in blue sky and ease for you we´ll never knew but your strain is to get about nothing´s clear and all to doubt bird, you´re longing for a mirage time machine back into garage they conserved their bitterness and they sealed their hearts with bitter mess and the mind caves in time chalk´s thin for all they have no mercy on you it´s not the end, it will accrue don´t waste your time with asking `can I live on clear or masking?´ you´re for that puzzle just a piece no one knows how it will cease so bear up, peregrine you don´t need a time machine

But dance 03:21
BUT DANCE Why does the rought wind blow, down at the stormy sea and where does the water go, when the flood leaves why do the shades of the moon mask the small crags How come the ache leaves us bubbly and swinging I wish I could have been there when the flood left it‘s bruises, I deign you your scars, I‘m even envious of them I would love to protect you, but I need to release Model of how to patch your wounds, is what i‘d like to be Stumble, Falter, be dubous about – but be in love with life. I‘ll give you a wide berth, while you are dancing on the crags shout my name if you need me, and I‘ll be there. But dance!

Rafic 05:03
RAFIK he lost almost one after another and the last keepsake of his brother was a firework of blood and bones most of these limbs are still unknowns so he decided to go far far away where the world‘s still calm and deigns him stay with nothing but the new start hope from land to land he set‘s to cope So go on walking, go on walking go on walking, while the others are just talking the journey is marked by stormy sea and shipwrecks on the ground the shore is not for free not even the right to stay and be just a look in the devil´s eyes awareness of the shredded ties now and there are poles apart ´´come, alien clutch the end, you must restart´´ so go on walking, go on walking while the others are just talking

Spider 03:47
SPIDER While i’m looking outside my window i can see a spider in its net. And suddenly there is an insect flying in its trap Than the spider comes and administers the poison Then the insect is dead, dead, dead. But one day there is a bird flying by and eating the carnivore The question that arises is: What what you can keep what what you can keep And what are the treasures that will last when the bird is flying by Cause the insect is dead. Eaten by the carnivore. The spider is dead. Eaten by the bird. While lifetime is running through my fingers I recognized I can’t keep what I want to I think what you can keep is what you give, what you give to someone else who charms it for you. For where my treasure is there will my heart be and what about beyond? What is my inheritance for this world and the insects following. It’s all about inheritance not about the net, not about your purse So increase the things that you can get and share and share alike. There have been these two guys and i will bear the remembrance Over the last years they put their treasures in thons of men. They lived a straight life, they stayed with there wifes, they where not broken by them. They fought for justice, strong and restless but now they are gone. I inherited an overflowing treasure chest No one can cabbage it but I wanna increase it. Cause the insect is dead. Eaten by the carnivore. What if the spider is alive. What is it’s heir?

Watch out 02:12
WATCH OUT I wanna see justice in this state I wanna see the felon in jail Oppression is what I am gonna fight Move those responsible in the light But I want mercy when I misdo I want remission when I fail I should get another bite at the cherry Oh, what a jackass I am Watch out for the bears and wolves And watch out for these empty roads Watch out for a petiless world where the word grace has never been heard

SCREW YOURSELF My world doesn‘t revolve around you How many hours do we spend on weeping over our First World Problems? Or liberty, prosperity sickens us Go screw yourself consumerism. Take care to prevent them from starving she told him, before she got on the train while she entered the ring, glorified by the glittering crowd presented and shrouded in fallicious velvet they sat in front of the screens gnawing at mildewed bread. How disgusting we are paying five bucks to hold a mirror up to ourselves and we feel amused we open our eyes wide with dismay watching the flames fading out of latticed factories nevertheless we´re walking home with filled plastic bags Our pets are better preserved than the humans we are sending our disguised donations to. Is a maximum desirable? We are responible, and we can‘t wash our hands in innocence.

Eat 03:24
EAT eddi sometimes didn´t eat at home, he wasn´t handsome or a gentleman but rich tell me, what said the rich served supper to that? answered with the shake of its cabbage head, i guess one day the lurid blue lights flashed him out of sweet dreams of luscious curves and red lips my splendid little girl, will she survive and ride out like scales the fate fell from his eyes from then on eddi fed his girl the supper at home always seeking doctor´s advice besides he travelled to the specialists around the world in quest of magic potion for his girl today he sits beside her meanwhile almost fifty years and always takes her under his wings since decades she hasn´t speak, her body degrades eddi´s close to her and she´s so far as never before oh, she fell out of tune

Run down 02:50
RUN DOWN Run down the isles and run through the forest take a step left and turn down the road jump over boarders and look through the mirrow take a step back and walk through the crowd the mouth is filled with its hearts cravings salt on my lips but the gushing spring dried out in the backseat of your overbearing nature is found a valley of boundless depth and vast. The gateway is hidden from the proud the path is made of humbleness the road to yourself leads you to the place of destination you have to steal away the ravens of the past

Lady love 02:08
LADY LOVE She sizes up neatly conditioned am completely porcelaine her face puppet plastic pace the reigns in her hands `welcome to my candyland` where vanity alies she reigns with her eyes don´t approach if you´re a boor ´cause I´m the kiddish love allure i show you clear and bluntly no beauty, no regards and no me tumbling from jack to kiss and back a dagger in your heart to dismiss and to attack I need you to fall for me I need you to love me dearly

COME STAND why am I so perse swallowed in grey fog walking on the edge neverending fall into the deep come stand by me let´s share the loneliness come stand by me let´s share a strong embrace when to know that I´m loved why am I just feeling like living in a glass case watching lifes love from the inside like one of the uncountable audience members like an idle watcher
