Halt mich auf

Halt mich auf!
Sage mir, dass du mich liebst,
dass es dich innerlich zerreißt
mich gehen zu sehen.
Halt mich auf!
Nenn mir nur einen Grund,
warum ich hierbleiben sollte,
nicht gehen darf!
Halt mich auf, halt mich auf!

Ich bewege mich viel zu schnell.
Du lässt dir Zeit mit deiner Konfession.
Weißt du denn nicht,
wenn ich die Stadt verlasse,
ist der Krieg verloren.

Halt mich auf!
Sage mir, dass du mich liebst,
dass es dich innerlich zerreißt
mich gehen zu sehen.
Halt mich auf!
Nenn mir nur einen Grund,
warum ich hierbleiben sollte,
nicht gehen darf!
Halt mich auf, halt mich auf!

Meine Koffer sind viel zu voll
dafür dass ich mein Leben hinter mir lasse.
Siehst du denn nicht,
wenn du mich jetzt küsst,
ist der Krieg vorbei.

Halt mich auf!
Sage mir, dass du mich liebst,
dass es dich innerlich zerreißt
mich gehen zu sehen.

Warum kannst du nicht für mich kämpfen?
Warum ist es dir so egal?
Versprich mir für immer
und lass mich so nicht geh'n.

Halt mich auf!
Sage mir, dass du mich liebst,
dass es dich innerlich zerreißt
mich gehen zu sehen.
Halt mich auf!
Nenn mir nur einen Grund,
warum ich hierbleiben sollte,
nicht gehen darf!
Halt mich auf, halt mich auf!




For a change in German. I have the english translation somewhere, but this one stays in German. Because it means something.

Trying to drown you out

Well, thanks for this inspiration. I just wish you'd be around to listen to it. But you never are, even when you are. You know what I mean. I wish you were here with me, but you are not, because you are absent, as usual.

I see your lips are moving
your hands gesturing wildly
but what are you really saying?

I hear your voice

I don't want you
I don't want you
I don't want you

In my head
Turn me around
I know it's not real

I see your eyes are searching
my face for how I feel
what are you really looking for?

I hear your voice

I don't want you
I don't want you
I don't want you

In my head
Turn me around
I know it's not real

And I'm trying to drown you out
without success
my brain is degrading
I wanna shout

I want you
I want you
I want you

Will you turn around
and please make it real?

And I'm trying to drown you out,
drown you out,
drown you out,

and drown myself instead.

blunt endearment

You turn to me for approval
but what exactly do you want?
Do you want me to support you?
Frankly, I don't think I can.

And you ask for the truth
knowing you'll hurt in the end.
Do you want me to deny it?
Frankly, I don't think I can.

You demand what you think you need
never get what you think you want.
Honestly, I think that you should know
You get what you earn
even though it'snot fair

You want to make great imrovements
you just don't know where to begin.
Do you want me to give you advice?
Frankly, I don't think I can.

Why can't you figure yourself out?
You can't have my thoughts for us both
and frankly enough,
I'm not willing to share

So get your act together
try to grow some guts
'cause frankly enough,
this way you drive me nuts

I love you still

And I love you just the same
but I don't want you anymore
I don't want this heart to hurt
as it does right now

Tell me, do I love too much?
All of a sudden I can't see
why you appealed to me.
But I love you still.

I can't stand your touch
You disgust me to the core
And I don't want you anymore
but I love you still

And I love you just the same
as that very first night
but I don't want you anymore
though I love you still

If you had told me then
that I don't even stand a chance
maybe I could have kept myself from you
now I can't stand your very being
you disgust me to the core
and I don't want you anymore



...but I love you still.

Gregory

Lyrics to the new song, no chords yet. Well, you try to find a tune that goes with these lyrics.

Just a hand - an innocent touch
just a face - an intimate smile
just a word - a whole declaration of love

Gregory,
I breathe it slow
Gregory,
I breathe it low
Gregory,
just like a caress
Gregory,
with infinite finesse

Just his skin - my endless landscape
just a shoulder -my ultimate support
just a name - a whole declaration of love

Gregory,
I breathe it slow
Gregory,
I breathe it low
Gregory,
just like a caress
Gregory,
with infinite finesse

Just some eyes - a whole biography
just his feet - steps into my future
just a man - my whole declaration of love

I close my eyes and see him inside my mind
I turn the music down and hear his voice
I feel his hands on my skin at night
I smell his presenc ein the air around me

Gregory,
I breathe it slow
Gregory,
I breathe it low
Gregory,
just like a caress
Gregory,
with infinite finesse

New Song and new album

Okay, I've written a new song for the new album, which by the way finally has a name.

I've thought about giving this short story project I started a while ago a different name, since it's called "Essence" currently. And I thought about "Seducing Life", but re-reading the songs for the new album I considered the name for the album and found it quite fitting. So, it finally has a name and I'm proud to officially pronounce the work for "Seducing Life" has begun.

So here is that new song:

When breathing becomes too hard
And the heavens suffocate me
You pour your love all over me
You take me heart and lead me here

Where the world is far away
Where there is nothing to say

I feel your spirit within me
I close my eyes, Don't need to see

'Cause you are here inside
Where our two souls collide

{Interlude}

Pour your love all over me!
Take my heart and lead me here

Where the world is far away
Where there is nothing to say!

Make me feel your spirit within me!
Close my eyes, 'cause I don't need to see!

Make me feel the urge
to let our destinies merge
'Cause you are here inside
Where our two souls collide
Where our two souls can't hide.

I'm not sure about a title yet, "Collide" seems fitting, but it always reminds me of that Howie Day song, which I really like, so I don't really want to give the song the same name....so any suggestions are welcome.
