Frozen Statuette

Two years gone by we met in a hotel hall
I hear your voice in a telephone call
I lost my mind in one bus stop kiss
When you left I fell into my well-known abyss
There is nowhere to run lifeʼs covered in black
I tried moving on but keep drifting back
Lalala …
Lalala ...
Two steps forward three steps back
Here I go another panic attack
Seven steps up and eight steps down
I just feel weird when youʼre not around
I keep on waiting like a frozen statuette
Treasuring the moments when our bodies first met
It is your name written into my heart
I still believe nothing can keep us apart
I will be searching for that heavenly place
Where we can be together in an endless embrace
Lalala …
Lalala …
Two steps forward three steps back
Here I go another panic attack
Seven steps up and eight steps down
I just feel weird when youʼre not around
Two steps forward three steps back
Here I come the psycho wreck
Seven steps up and eight steps down
I just feel weird when youʼre not around

Lady of the Serengeti
04:24
|

Her scream shatters my whole being
Her body lost in the dark
Milady of the underground
Is drowning in a park
In dreams I see her fighting
Her loverʼs attacks
So scared to see her leaving
And never coming back
Milady of the Serengeti
I long to hear you sing
Iʼll join you in a melody
That will take away our sins
These moments that we shared
In the basement of that club
I will always cherish
And Iʼll never give her up
We will always have our music
She told me one dark night
It will carry us through this life
And out into the light
Milady of the Serengeti
I long to hear you sing
Iʼll join you in a melody
That will take away our sins
Milady of the Serengeti
I long to hear you shout
Get rid of all these monsters
That that that will turn us inside out

Hurricane
02:58
|

|
Driving north along the shore
We’re telling stories
Of broken hearts and shattered dreams
We climb down cliffs called by the water
Drawing closer to each other
Filled with longing we sit and watch
The waves pounding down the rocks
And then his hands take over my skin
And the world starts spinning
The hurricane inside of me
Is breaking loose again, again, again
The hurricane inside of me
Is breaking loose again, again, again
And as we move into the sea
Our bodies never felt so free
Just for one moment we can be
The lovers of our destiny
On our drive south back into our lives
Only a kiss goodbye survives
And then his hands take over my skin
And the world starts spinning
The hurricane inside of me
Is breaking loose again, again, again
The hurricane inside of me
Is breaking loose again, again, again
The hurricane inside of me
Breaking loose again, again, again
The hurricane inside of me
Breaking loose again, again, again

Flag
02:51

I find you in a dark and twisted space
Your hands are covering your face
Youʼre trying to tell me who you are
A lost little boy living in a car
And I try on your Nike shoes
Secretly singing the little girl blues
You hand me your black swiss army knife
So I can stab you if you mess up my life
You say you make a flag out of my soul
Run it up and hang it from a pole
You watch my ghosts flap in the breeze
Until their frantic smiles freeze
You hear me cry internal tears
On canvas spilled you see my fears
Your scars are fixed between the frames
We keep on playing our little games
I told you about my fucked-up mind
Tried to get rid of you cause youʼre too kind
Iʼm way too scared to let you in
In dreams I touch your skin
You say you make a flag out of my soul
Run it up and hang it from a pole
You watch my ghosts flap in the breeze
Until their frantic smiles freeze
You say you make a flag out of my soul
Run it up and hang it from a pole
You watch my ghosts flap in the breeze
Until their frantic smiles freeze

Sign of Life
03:59
|

|
Dead bodies all around
chances never came to be
I need a sign of life something that
I can hold on to
Tears mixing in with the blood
Losing more than I can bear
Broken hearted mindless pain
Where do I go from here?
In the hands of God I give my children
Wish I saw them breathe
In the hands of God I give my children
Wish I saw them breathe
Another hope goes down the drain
More fears become reality
Canʼt care canʼt love canʼt do
nothing
Come back come back come back
Come back to me
Just one more day Iʼll breathe for you
And you breathe through me
In the hands of God I give my children
Wish I saw them breathe
In the hands of God I give my children
Wish I saw them breathe
My womb is your grave
My womb is your grave
My womb is your grave
My womb is your grave
Is your grave
Is your grave, your grave, your grave
Is your grave, is your grave, is your grave

Childhood Shrine

I said Merry Christmas dad
He was staring at the screen
He didnʼt recognize my face I was
Just a stranger to him
Heʼs leftover from a different time
When mothers beat their children blue and green
When there was war and not enough to eat
You could call them hard times indeed
Uuuuhhhh Uuh Uuh
Uuuuhhhh Uuh Uuh
He was follower of rules
And always kept the time
Now his mind is running circles
Round a childhood shrine
He was a follower of rules
And always kept the time
Now his mind is running circles
Round a childhood shrine
All the rules that kept him safe
Now canʼt help him find a way
Timeʼs collapsing over him
Heʼs lost in the same memory all day
When there is nothing left to hold onto
Will he fly away
When there is nothing left to remember
How will he escape
Uuuuhhhh Uuh Uuh
Uuuuhhhh Uuh Uuh
He was follower of rules
And always kept the time
Now his mind is running circles
Round a childhood shrine
He was a follower of rules
And always kept the time
Now his mind is running circles
Round a childhood shrine
I said Merry Christmas dad
He was staring at the screen
He didnʼt recognize my face I was
Just a stranger to him
