Can't Swim

Can’t swim
Can’t swim
The time felt right
But not tonight
The whole framework did collapse
Exactly at the time they told me to stop
Can you imagine that?
Cause no one did but it felt so good
And now there’s only that fraction
Of a little so called action
I know I can't swim
Would you let me drown in here?
I know I can't win
No one ever will my dear
Been caught there many times before
And after all these moments still sore
Feels like a thousand years of waiting
No understanding, there’s just hating
The patience starts to get so thin
I’m afaraid that I can’t swim
Never thought, ever got taught?
What have I become?
Scratching a living to go on
Can only see the questions but no anwsers
Hiding myself
behind a masking full of hopes and dreams telling me to go on
No one will get the chasing
I know I can't swim
Would you let me drown in here?
I know I can't win
No one ever will my dear
Been caught there many times before
And after all these moments still sore
Feels like a thousand years of waiting
No understanding, there’s just hating
The patience starts to get so thin
I’m afaraid that I can’t swim
It’s allright
I can’t deny
Can’t swim
Can’t swim

Stranger in my head,
in front of my door, I feel like I’m dead
telling me things like, hey we’re gonna fall in love
and have a really good time
No clear mind, no sight
But nothing is allright
I’m going on a trip to promise land
That’s something I can’t stand
But I don’t know what it’s like
There, on the other side
Stop it, go out and give it a try
Feels like. The time. Is just passing by
No one told me, this is only happening in my thoughts
Count to three and maybe there will be someone this time
Sitting around makes no sense to me, I want to be (live)
we need the opportunity to change and I know this sounds strange
Where did life go? Now You’ve got to prove
Life’s imagination
What are you trying to say? Try another day
The whole story feels like growing plants in winter
Or crossing oceansides
But don’t forget about the high tides
But I’m here for you
Telling those things being true
This is only happening in your head
Your life is happening in your head
Stop it, go out and give it a try
Feels like. The time. Is just passing by
No one told me, this is only happening in my thoughts
Count to three and maybe there will be someone this time
Sitting around makes no sense to me, I want to be
we need the opportunity to change and I know this sounds strange
Where did life go? Now You’ve got to prove
Life’s imagination

Circularity

Coming home from work late
Again a fucked up day
Just one more word said
I swear I’ll leave and run away
I wish that I could turn back time
To when I used to feel alright
Lie awake in bed at night
I just don’t know if I should cry
And I start thinking
Life’s an endless circle pit
You’re getting pushed around and kicked
While never moving on
And it’s going on and on
But even if it feels like shit
I’ll learn to get along with it
‘Cause I keep growing on
Until I’m feeling strong
I am badly underpaid
While my wife is getting laid
Counting all the ships I’ve sunk
And all those many things I’ve done
My middle finger up high in the air
I quit my job, I don’t care
I need to find my luck elsewhere
That’s why I just can’t stay here
So I start thinking
Life’s an endless circle pit
You’re getting pushed around and kicked
While never moving on
And it’s going on and on
But even if it feels like shit
I’ll learn to get along with it
‘Cause I keep growing on
Until I’m feeling strong
And I remember words I once said,
We can get better, ‘cause we’re not dead yet

No Escape

We’ve crossed our ways
That one day at the station
She blew me away
hours of talking,
laughing and sharing
I completely felt for her eyes
I eventually realize
(Whoa oh) I’m addicted to her, came under her spell
(Whoa oh) I can’t get away, stuck like a pearl in a shell
(Whoa oh) feel so captivated, but also frightened
(Whoa oh) she’s one hell of a drug I can’t escape from
Time is passing by
Feeling happy but also high
Like on a trip to Amsterdam
I feel so dependent
following on step and kicks
Can’t believe that this is true
I’ve been fooled around by you
And I eventually realize
(Whoa oh) I’m addicted to her, came under her spell
(Whoa oh) I can’t get away, stuck like a pearl in a shell
(Whoa oh) feel so captivated, but also frightened
(Whoa oh) she’s one hell of a drug I can’t escape from
So I try to run
Try to get away
But every single day
There was no escape

Hold Me Back

(I miss it)
The sound of the sea
Rough wind on my cheek
(I miss it)
The smell of salty air
Remember where we were
(I miss it)
The sound of your grin
Your touch on my skin
(I miss it)
The smell of your hair
Act like I wouldn’t care
Now I find myself on the edge of the cliffs
Wondering if there might be some sort of last kiss
Should I end this all and jump into the sea?
Started thinking again to satisfy my selfdestructive tendencies
Pretending to have the time of my life
While in reality I’m just living a lie
Try all night to get you out of my head
So I can forget you but not the wonderful time we had
Now I find myself on the edge of the cliffs
Wondering if there might be some sort of last kiss
Should I end this all and jump into the sea?
Started thinking again to satisfy my selfdestructive tendencies
My feelings are waves
Some are better, some are worse
I can’t stop them from coming
But choose which one to surf
Now I find myself on the edge of the cliffs
Wondering if there might be some sort of last kiss
Should I end this all and jump into the sea?
Started thinking again to satisfy my selfdestructive tendencies
Hold me Back
Hold me Back
