My Summer Of The Year

Alright, Elmar, keep on rolling baby
you know what time it is
How good this felt
living up to expectations, i used conflict as a metaphor
and it felt sad but meaningful to listen to what you said
but it scares me, this scares me
Last night i've had a headache, and hangover too
I was a bit late, but more scared of meeting you
Drowning in the wreck
in the lone dark sea
started to breath in the summer of '13
caught by surprise it took only minutes to disarm me
so the second end to this story is
arms around you neck,
I whisper nice things behind your back
I've grown old enough by now
To see your points in all those arguments
about memories and life time plans and
I've found my focus now through all the years
all the years
all the years we've spent, the miles that we've covered
you we're my lesson, you we're my lesson
Every laugh we've share, every piece we've put together
you we're my lesson, you we're my lesson
All the plans we've made, ideas we've discarded
along the way, along the way
Most of the words i'Ve put into a song
you we're my lesson, along the way

Out of breath, but it’s not a surrender
I’ve been through this a hundred times before
and now that’s not the time to complain about things
but i won‘t sit tight and watch TV or listen to the radio
I pack stuff into bags and
i wont sit tight and let things take their course as
Friday night is not for being alone
I won‘t go there without you, won‘t go there without you
For being alone
When i’m face down there‘s a light
it makes my eyes shine bright
Waiting for the finish line
Where hours turn to moments
And I will make them mine
Oh this place fills up my heart so easily
with memories both sweet and sore
and pretty songs i’ve never heard before
People so lovely, food i’ve never had
Street signs i need to translate
Accents i can’t understand
Oh it hurts to write those lines
To be reminded day by day
That thats’s not home
This neighbourghood is yours, may we share it for now?
I’ll sleep on the floor, in the van, on the road
under the kitchen table
under the kitchen table
I love the kitchen table

If it’s so easy to get lost
And to raise your fingers at me, '
pretending you’re so much more
It’s just the time we’ve been waiting for
It’s just a phase they say, something that will cause you trouble
But only temporarily, make us great again, this will go away
I heard your opinion might have a bad reputation
From press lies and bad decisions in the past
I might be wrong but i can’t fight
This uneasy feeling when you decide
to walk the streets to show you’re sad
So i say
Save your breath for something better man
Save your breath for someone else
With every breath you take, every move you make,
every bond you break You keep feeding me despair
So would you mind if I
don’t give a fuck about your fears?
From the street lights to the serious fights
You’ll suffer from the hate you spread
So be smart, be safe, stay off the tracks
it’s all in your head
Save your breath for something better man
Save your breath, someone else might dig your say
Save your breath for something better man
Save your breath for someone else

You've let me down, like a another broken hero
that stopped to guard over the ones he should protect
You're this dying branch, just about to break apart,
before it carries the infection to the vital parts
Your obligations have become so futile
as you thought you'd find salvation
at the bottom of your jar
Fuck no
You've drained my hope with every sip you took
Instead of fighting for renaissance
you took the chards and cut the cord
You've set my life on fire, then you turned into a ghost
Still I'm crawling through the ashes of this place
I once called my home
memories of brigther days running through my fingers like the sand
from a broken hour glass
Will I ever get the chance to pay you back for what you've done?
Will you ever have the guts to set things straight?
Can you hear her desperate cries as she's trying to construct a better place out of this mess?
She has learned to cope, to seal the holes, contain your remnants, regain control

I gave up on you
I gave up on you
to calm my heavy head
I've been cutting all the ties that made you real
we've shared the same roof
when I grew up, when I used to be your clay
to shape, then throw away
With a head so heavy I can still pretend.
Is this the summer that will never end?
Honestly, we've lost connection way before
when I walked right out this door and she said
now was not the time to re-connect
but wait until his plans run out
to bother about it
In your clouded mind you're still the one to know her best
so you know that she won't walk the freedom bridge
you've burned it down, you'll burn out her quiet bliss
How do you pretend the one you've shared your live with
does not exist?
Does not exist
You've put her in a coma
made her breath in all the bad
surrender, surrender, surrender,
it's only in your head!
but you will forget
after this six hour ride that got your feet back on the ground
on the ground

You make my head spin,
you keep my mind exploding
with the feels that you plant in my head
with a face thats so bitter, your eyes they’re so bitter
You make me back up
with that look in your eyes
lack of passion always hurts
but sometimes it‘s everlasting
did i tear this apart?
During all those hours
That i spent in airplane seats
Watching the world go down
I’m not afraid of the dark
I’m not afraid of the dark
when the sun will finally set, I’ll be somewhere else
Still interested in the things that won’t get me far from here
Cheers to epicureanism
I’ll take my chance, not gonna miss it
I have a wild bird’s will, wild birds will chase the things they love
Until they go insane
I have a wild bird’s eye, and I’ll see things that you can’t see
Eye to eye with the hurricane
Even if the sun will kiss me
And their flames will burn me badly
I will feel myself embraced
I will feel myself embraced
Even if the seas consume me
and take the skin off of my bones
still makes a better end to this
still makes a better end to this
Cheers to epicureanism
I’ll take my chance, not gonna miss it
getting well, then getting better
Ich bin kein Lückenfüller
