FADED

The walls are full of tags and booze
Nothing to win, nothing to lose
That’s why I’m getting faded
The world around me is a gruesome place
So much force so much violence
That’s why I’m getting faded

Where do we start where do we start
There’s so many issues in my heart
Is there a way for me to make a change
In a world that is kept the same old way

It feels like I am in a fever dream
The world around me never looked so grim
That’s why I’m getting faded
I see the problems that are coming up
Where do we start where do we start
Why am I getting faded?

Where do we start where do we start
There’s so many issues in my heart
Is there a way for me to make a change
In a world that is kept the same old way
Where do we start where do we start
There’s so many issues that break us apart
Is there a future I can try to face
If my feet get trapped and my eyes get maced

How about no more war first
Then we destroy all the weapons
We’ve got nothing to lose
And Everything
Everything to win

Where do we start where do we start
There’s so many issues in my heart
Is there a way for me to make a change
In a world that is kept the same old way
Where do we start where do we start
There’s so many issues that break us apart
Is there a future I can face
If my feet get trapped and my eyes get maced

SIMPLE THINGS

In a world obsessed with fortune and fame
I found my solace in a different game

In a world obsessed with fortune and fame
I found my solace in a different game
Material possessions they come and go
But true happiness is all I need to own

Now you can see
What you could be
I found my wisdom in the streets

I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold (I don’t need gold)
I don’t need money to have a soul (To have a soul)
Like a kingfisher high in the sky (High in the sky)
I find my joy where the simple things lie
Where the simple things lie

They say success is measured by what you own
But I think it’s an unworthy crown
Take love and laughter for the real wealth
Don’t be an asshole, just be yourself

Now you can see
Where you could be
I found my wisdom in the streets

I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold (I don’t need gold)
I don’t need money to have a soul (To have a soul)
Like a kingfisher high in the sky (High in the sky)
I find my joy where the simple things lie


(Take it down now! You gotta take it away.)
(You gotta take it. Take it away.)
(You gotta take it down, down, down, down.)
(Hit Me)

I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold
I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold
I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold
I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold
I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold
I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold
I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold
I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold

I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold
I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold
I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold
I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold
I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold
I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold
I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold
I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold


I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold (I don’t need gold)
I don’t need money to have a soul (To have a soul)
Like a kingfisher high in the sky (High in the sky)
I find my joy where the simple things lie
Where the simple things lie

KISS ME

You’re in my head like a parasite (parasite)
I cannot control my mind (my mind)
My running thoughts they leave no space
I feel so sick but I’m so happy
Your face is burned into my brain (to my brain)
Like I’m cattle left in the rain 
I feel so free yet I’m so stuck 
Don’t want to leave I want

I want you to kiss me
Let me know if you’re down
And I’m trying not to miss you
But I’m doing it wrong
I want you to hug me
Tell me everything’s good
Now I’m trying not to miss you
Not that I ever could

It’s been days since I’ve felt your touch (your touch)
My body’s craving all your love now
I miss the way you stroke my hair
I want you and I need you right here

The way your lips just fit on mine (fit on mine)
The thought alone could make me cry 
I, I have fallen hard just know
I need you by my side

I want you to kiss me
Let me know if you’re down
And I’m trying not to miss you
But I’m doing it wrong
I want you to hug me
Tell me everything’s good
Now I’m trying not to miss you
Not that I ever could

And I’m afraid
Afraid of confrontation
I need help
I need some consultation
In my feelings
But my fear is
If I commit will you be there

And I’m afraid
Afraid of confrontation
I need help
I need some consultation
In my feelings
But my fear is
If I commit will you be there

Will you be there
Will you be

DON'T WAKE ME UP

Please don’t wake me up
I just had the sweetest of dreams
Where you held my hand and danced with me
I was holding you tight
Just like I used to do
When I wake up
I’ll see none of it is true

Please don’t let me down (oh no)
I need you around
I’ve been so out of touch
I feel so out of love

I know I have to change my ways
I know it won't be easy
Time itself won't fix this mess

And the time passes on
While my mind keeps on going 
Now I can’t see where
My life will be growing
I’d like to think I’ll
Know where I’m headed
And the time passes on
While my mind keeps on going 
Now I can’t see where
My life will be growing
I’d like to think I’ll
Know where I’m headed
But I just can’t see it yet

I’ve been trying hard
I need a break, I feel so lonely (So lonely)
My face has seen no sun
For weeks at a time but I’m holding on

I know I have to change my ways
I know it won't be easy
Time itself won't fix this mess

And the time passes on
While my mind keeps on going 
Now I can’t see where
My life will be growing
I’d like to think I’ll
Know where I’m headed
And my life passes on
While the time keeps on going
I’d like to see where
My mind will be going
I know that one day
I can look back and smile
But today there is still
A tear in my eye

I won’t let the memories go
I just had the sweetest of dreams
Where you held my hand and danced with me
I was holding you tight
Just like I used to do
When I wake up
Ill see none of it is true
Anymore
Oh Anymore
Oh Oh Oh Anymore
 Oh Oh Oh Oh Anymore

And the time passes on
While my mind keeps on going 
Now I can’t see where
My life will be growing
I’d like to think I’ll
Know where I’m headed
And my life passes on
While the time keeps on going
I’d like to see where
My mind will be growing
I know that one day
I can look back and smile
But today there is still
A tear in my eye

WAVES

In a time of endless motion
Where the waves crash on the shore
Stories of the innocent
Lost forevermore
They sailed in search of hope
Seeking protection from the storm
But the sea became their captor
Their death in uniform

In a world of endless motion
Where the waves crash on the shore
Stories of the innocent
Lost forevermore
They sailed in search of hope
Seeking protection from the storm
But the sea became their captor
Their death in uniform

Swallowed by the waves
Dreams lost in the deep
The outrage you can’t deny
We raise our voices high
Swallowed by the waves
Dreams lost in the deep
The outrage you can’t deny
We raise our voices high

Oooooh
Oooooh
Oooooh
Oooooh
Oooooh
Oooooh
Oooooh
Into the storm they ride

They left behind their homes
Their lives torn apart
Hoping for a future and a new start
But as the tide grew stronger
Their luck began to fade
Caught between the waves
And the policies that betrayed

Swallowed by the waves
Dreams lost in the deep
The outrage you can’t deny
We raise our voices high
Swallowed by the waves
Dreams lost in the deep
The outrage you can’t deny
We raise our voices high

Oooooh (Swallowed by the waves)
Oooooh (Swallowed by the waves)
Oooooh (Swallowed by the waves)
Oooooh (Dreams lost in the deep)
Oooooh (The outrage you can’t deny)
Oooooh (We raise our voices high)
Oooooh (Swallowed by the waves)
Oooooh (Dreams lost in the deep)
Oooooh (The outrage you can’t deny)
Into the storm they ride

Oooooh
Oooooh

Oooooh
Oooooh

Swallowed by the waves
Dreams lost in the deep
The outrage you can’t deny
We raise our voices high
Swallowed by the waves
Dreams lost in the deep
The outrage you can’t deny
We raise our voices high
Oooooh (Swallowed by the waves)
Oooooh (Dreams lost in the deep)
Oooooh (The outrage you can’t deny)
Oooooh (We raise our voices high)
Oooooh (Swallowed by the waves)
Oooooh (Dreams lost in the deep)
Oooooh (The outrage you can’t deny)
Into the storm they ride

TICKET TO RIDE

I’m on a train out of town
In my ears the sound of silence
I’ve got my ticket but not the license
That would get me around
I’ve got my ticket to ride
Now I’m southbound on my way to happiness
But the world is still a fucking mess
Like they wouldn’t consider

And the wheels keep turning
While we are yearning
What we could have had
The world is burning
The world is burning
The world is burning

We’ve got one choice to make
It’s to design or destroy our future
We are the folks of the revolution
Although we all didn’t choose
Now that we fight for our lives
We are seen as an enemy of state
While all the policies are way too late
Like they wouldn’t consider

That the wheels keep turning
While we are yearning
What we could have had
The world is burning
The world is burning
The world is burning

Break it down

And the wheels keep turning
While we are yearning
What we could have had

And the wheels keep turning 
While we are yearning
What we could have had
(I’ve got my ticket)
The world is burning
The world is burning
The world is burning
(I’ve got my ticket)
And the wheels keep turning (I’ve got my ticket)
While we are yearning (I’ve got my ticket)
What we could have had (I’ve got my ticket)
(I’ve got my ticket)
The world is burning (I’ve got my ticket)
The world is burning (I’ve got my ticket)
The world is burning (I’ve got my ticket)

I’ve got my ticket
I’ve got my ticket
I’ve got my ticket
What do you mean the worlds on fire

I’ve got my ticket
What do you mean the worlds on fire

The world’s on fire
It’s burning
I don’t know what it is but it’s just-
Everything’s on fire
And it’s burning, burning, burning

I’ve got my ticket to ride
I’ve got my ticket to ride
I’ve got my ticket to
Die

NIGHT ON MALTA

At night it’s cold outside
I want you by my side
Oh baby come with me

At night it’s cold outside
I want you by my side
Oh baby
Come with me

We’re dancing under the stars
We’re going out at night
We drink Tequila at the bar
And we get home at sunrise

My head is heavy, hanging from my shoulders
I can’t feel myself
I wanna throw up what is left from last night
But I have nothing
Nothing to say

We’re dancing under the stars
We’re going out at night
We drink Tequila at the bar
And we get home at sunrise

We’re dancing under the stars (We’re dancing under the)
We’re going out at night (We’re going out at night)
We drink Tequila at the bar (german gibberish)
And we get home at sunrise
And we get home at sunrise

TRACK TO HELL

On the streets to hell
There are people telling me
Turn around
And the sweet spot fades
If the music stops playing
I go down

If you stop the music
You stop the turnaround
That stops the world around you
If you stop the music
You stop the turnaround
That stops the world around you
Oh Oh
Ooh Ooh Ooh

The whole place is in flames
There is no safer space to go
And I’m right there (And I’m right there)
And the gates of fire
Burn the heavens choir as I
Stand and admire

If you stop the music
You stop the turnaround
That stops the world around you
If you stop the music
You stop the turnaround
That stops the world around you
Oh Oh

And I, I, I
And I, I, I
And I, I, I, I, I, I
I
 

If you stop the music
You stop the turnaround
That stops the world around you
If you stop the music
You stop the turnaround
That stops the world around you
If you stop the music
You stop the turnaround
That stops the world around you
If you stop the music
You stop the turnaround
That stops the world around you

If you stop the music
You stop the turnaround
That stops the world around you
If you stop the music
You stop the turnaround
That stops the world around you
If you stop the music you will stop the turnaround
That will stop the world around you, stop the world around
If you stop the music
You stop the turnaround
That stops the world around you
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeaah
Alright, Alright, Alright, Alright
Ooooooh

THIS IS A ROBBERY

We talked about the plan last night
Had every detail in our mind
It’s working right
It’s working right
It’s working right
Week prior to the heist we planned
Where everybody has to stand
We’re walking right
We’re walking right in

And I robbed a bank
I knew exactly where to stand
It worked out well
Right by the plan
And I robbed a bank
I knew exactly where to stand
It worked out well
Right by the plan

We head out millions in our bags
The escape car is right ahead
We drive off safe
We drive off safe
We drive off safe
There is a siren in my ear
I don’t know if i really hear it
Or is it in
Or is it in my head

And I robbed a bank
I knew exactly where to stand
It worked out well
Right by the plan
And I robbed a bank
I knew exactly where to stand
It worked out well
Right by the plan

And I robbed a
It’s time to burn this shit down

And I robbed a bank
I knew exactly where to stand
It worked out well
Right by the plan
And I robbed a bank
I knew exactly where to stand
It worked out well
Right by the plan

And I robbed a

KINGFISHER

Watch out watch out
We’ve got a suspect on the run
I repeat
 watch out, watch out

Time stands still but the place is shifting
Drifting through realities (There is a)
Kingfisher in a trenchcoat staring at him
He’s got what he needs

You wanna fly you wanna swim you wanna go to space
You wanna try out all the things that you know ain’t safe
Just like that you get caught in the grand illusion

Don’t confuse ‘em
Don’t confuse ‘em
They just use the
The Grand Illusion

Now I can see the whole picture
And I can see the strings attached onto their brains
I can see the whole picture
And I can see because I watched it fade away
Now I have so many questions
Noone wants to answer by themselves
I lost connection to my consciousness
I’m lost and found myself in outer space

Time stands still but the place is shifting
I’m drifting through realities (He don’t know)
Should I stay should I go or do I watch out 
I will break into a thousand pieces

I wanna fly I wanna swim I wanna go to space
I wanna try out all the things that I know aint safe
Just like that I get caught in the Grand Illusion

Don’t confuse ‘em
Don’t confuse ‘em
They just use the
The Grand Illusion

Now I can see the whole picture
I can see the strings attached onto their brains
I can see the whole picture
I can see because I watched it fade away
Now I have so many questions
Noone wants to answer by themselves
I lost connection to my consciousness
I’m lost and found myself in outer space

Wait
Who the fuck is that?
Oh
It’s the Duke of Space

What the fuck was that?

I don’t know where my ride is going
Feels like I’m looking through the stars (There is a)
Force around his neck that’s forcing him to check out
All the things that left him scarred

Now he can’t fly, he can’t swim, he can’t go to space
He can’t try out all the things that we know ain’t safe
He got caught in the Grand Illusion

Don’t confuse ‘em
Don’t confuse ‘em
They just use the
The Grand Illusion

Now I can see the whole picture
And I can see the strings attached onto their brains
I can see the whole picture
And I can see because I watched it fade away
Now I have so many questions
Noone wants to answer by themselves
I lost connection to my consciousness
I’m lost and found myself in outer space

DIRT // GERMANY 2099 

“Ja, dann sollten wir aber der Sonne erklären, dass sie nicht so viel scheinen soll, zum Beispiel.
Das wäre doch mal ne Überlegung, weil die Sonne ja den Einfluss dann auf die Ozeane hat und nicht wir auf die Ozeane, sondern die Sonne. Der Ozean wird ja nicht warm weil wir sagen: ‘Ozean werd mal warm oder kalt.’”
“Also verklagen wir die Sonne?”
“Wir sollten die Sonne verklagen. Können wir uns darauf einigen.” 
- Beatrix von Storch (AfD) bei Tilo Jung


The desert sun is burning on my skin
No clouds in sight no shade to take a break
Over the Horizon i can see the shaky sky
We could have done so much
and did so little

It's so easy to say we could have done so much
While protesters ended up in prison
Politicians laughing in our faces while we cried
Oh we cried about our future
Cause they just do so little

The desert sun is burning on my skin
The desert sun is burning on my skin
The desert sun is burning on my
The desert sun, the desert sun

Aaaaah I am burning
I am burning for you
And I am burning
I am burning for you
And the planet is too
Under the desert sun

Walking, walking, walking, we're just walking
Trying to find an answer, tell them Tales
The world was green and we had water flowing
Now the world is dry
In Germany 2099

I am burning
I am burning for you
And I, I, I am burning
I am burning for you
I am burning
I am burning for you
The world is burning
The world is burning
The world is burning
The world is burning
The world is burning

And I can't live like that
I want to change the system
I want you all to listen
We can't make that bet
Chemicals in our lungs
Means money in their pockets
Polluters do have names and
They do have doors to knock on
And they will beat us up
But we will keep it up

WHEN YOU STOP TRYING

They gather words all day
To shout them out at night
They barricaded their thoughts
To be alone in their heads

They’re far too cold
To care about anything anymore
Of theirs or anyone's life
As is worsens and improves
They’re far too cold to realise

Strike if you may
They gather words all day
Strike if you may
They gather words all day

The images, the images move on
Never felt at home
Ten years of silence
Finally they cry out
Please, please, please let me out
The doors they remain locked as always
The key misplaced years ago
They’ve learned that it eases the pain

When you stop trying

Strike if you may
They gather words all day
Strike if you may
They gather words all day
Strike if you may
They gather words all day
Strike if you may
They gather words all day
