we’ve been so close Yet so alone
it might have never shown
we spoke but we never opened and every inch of rain a relief
to flood our slow tongues
with some movement
I‘m catching a breath that I held
for as long as I could
I feel so sad
in my head it all made so much sense now I stumble and stumble again
and like a small branch on the river side
I don’t know where to go or where to aim tonight
no current no flow just the water beneath our feet and damn it’s so cold
I see our breath foggy
and I have nothing to say to you no more
we‘ve been so close yet so alone
grow up / nothing‘s changed grow out / nothing‘s changed

nothing
03:17

I took all my chances
wasting time in the back of my mind
and while I am searching
not noticing the worst is in front of my eyes
I thought what lies beyond should be so profound turns out to be
nothing nothing /nothing less than nothing
and those truths in your mind are not mine at all short weak attempts to mean something
hearts end at the shoreline withered and forgotten culprit is the unknown withered and forgotten
these differences are way to harsh to understand believe me I am not the one you think I am
I have never been one bit like you
show me the way to the water and I drink up your lies

tell me I’m fine
03:18
|
|

just one word
like nails to my guts
you keep talking and I hold my breath
I feel worthless
and you shook my ground with the blink of an eye and you don’t seem to care
you take it all back
say sorry one last time didn’t mean to hurt me I know
so I run to a place where my head can reside in peace where the flaws you see don’t seem to mind at all uncloud my mind
tell me I’m fine
and then you speak your mind and all I see is ugly
all so different just seconds ago now my whole world has shifted
you took it all
gave me empty hands you need me more
I need this all to end
so I run to that place

stranger friend
03:02

it was the last days of November when I lost count and track
of the times you’d asked for a favour
and I never texted back
and again it took me ages
to come up with any lie
why I never had enough time to find your absent smile
and I can’t be there to fill the void inside your head to make you feel good about yourself
crack me up
turn my will
tell me how I have to feel
though you don’t know everything stranger friend
you will win
and I can’t be there to make you go out less alone to make you feel less bad about yourself
and I can’t be there to fill the void inside your head to make you feel good about yourself
„It’s not worth having a lot of friends in your life
if they’re just gonna be really messed up to you and stuff like that. If they don’t stop even when you say something,
honestly you need to distance yourself from them.
It’ll bring down your happiness, and you know
„hey this really bothers me when you do this“
Don’t be afraid to cut off the friendship.
One day I wanna have the courage to be honest.“
and maybe it’s me and my expectations I can’t express
but maybe it’s you overdoing everything and I can’t believe in you
but then I grab my phone and say „How ’bout tomorrow at noon?“

too heavy
03:44
|
|

I’ve been trying to fight back tears and sleep I’ve been tying to keep my heart in my head but the burning on my tongue was too heavy I‘ve been trying to keep my head steady
too heavy
I swallowed some water
instead of telling you anything
I’ve been trying to keep my hands in my back pockets so you won’t see my fingers shake as I speak
but the burning in my palms was too heavy
I’ve been trying to keep my hands steady
and after all these years I’ve wasted
I don’t know I feel like I’m nothing
and after all these years I’ve wasted
I don’t know you make me feel nothing
and after all these years I’ve wasted I don’t know I feel like I’m nothing
and after all these years I’ve wasted I don’t know I feel nothing

the calm in this room
03:12
|
|

I told you different but I fall apart
it’s dark and I can see
they told us we’ll get used to where we are it’s dark and I can see
and I have found love
where I haven’t found you
and I have found good
where I haven’t found you
and I slipped off your sight and I know it’s over
you remember me
only when you’re at your worst
can’t stand the calm in this room detaching your old lies
breathing in try not to cough
and try not to show myself
I told you different but I fall apart it’s dark and I can see
they told us we’ll get used to where we are It’s dark and I can see

it will hurt whatever
03:08
|
|

cut it open
see through is the new black and oh no
how could I just do that
tell you all that
I have always felt but not said
and after I came clear
just emptiness in me panicking to sleep overthinking what you mean
when you said
thanks for your honesty but I needed comfort
the things I always felt
but not said
it will hurt whatever
tell you everything I have always felt we’re not meant forever
when you said
„we’re not meant forever“ it will hurt whatever

I will make it up to you
02:54
|

well I'm stuck
I kept a promise I never made though your voice seems lighter now I keep repeating all my mistakes
and I'm stuck
expect me to fall off this pile of stones that my chest couldn't keep inside
so I tied them around my shoes
and all these years to make it better and to show you right
they are gone
and all these times I thought my actions they would change your mind they are gone
as the rain takes my sight again and the sand's wet beneath my feet tell myself I am worth something cause your eyes show me different
and all I want to be is just fine
and right here
and all I want to be is just fine
but not me
and I will make will make it up to you I just don't know how
and I'm stuck
I just don't know how

your silence says it all painted your bathroom floor with my brains
oh not again
showed you
what’s in there
and now I need to get rid of it all
and I forgot everything I felt for you
and I don’t know how to find what’s lost in you
losing the sense of it all
your silence says it all you eyes roll back your shoulders fall disappointing avoiding me
windows and curtains closed where did our lives go so wrong
