Stuck In Berlin

I'm stuck in Berlin
Treading water again
Could this be freedom now
Just waiting for a friend
I took it too far
Forgetting who you are
Could this be freedom now
Lonely as the stars
Ain't nobody special in Berlin
You have to stand out to fit in
What the hell are these people thinking
Living as a ghost in a footprint
Ain't nobody special in Berlin
I'm down on my throne
Of broken cobble stone
Could this be heaven now
Losing all you own
In wonderland
With a treasure chest of sand
Is this what real life is
Leaving every home
Ain't nobody special in Berlin
You have to stand out to fit in
What the hell are these people thinking
Living as a ghost in a footprint
Ain't nobody special in Berlin
I was righteous to follow you
But that's all I'll be
I never took hold of you
But that's all I need
I'm stuck in Berlin
Open table again
Could this be freedom now
Just waiting for a friend
Stuck In Berlin

Light Up
03:30
|
|||
|
Death came into my room
And sang me a song when I was younger
And then it turned around to you
And you clipped its wings and took it in a while longer
Oh awake and look through the blinds
Don’t carry it, carry it no more
Georgia let go of your mind
Just carry on, carry on
Make the light
Cause I’m walking on thunder
I’m punching a mountain wayyaaa
I’m starting a fire just for you so
Light up, Light up, Light up
I found you in an old house
Tired and alone, drunk in the sun
We were lying on the grass
Oh and I think that was the last time I saw you
But Georgia you know that the time
Just carries on, carries on
And we’re only going to die
So just carry on, carry on
Make the light
Cause I’m walking on thunder
I’m standing on mountains with ya
I’m starting a fire next to you so
Light up, Light up, Light up
Oh great love will be lost and found
And all of these things will soon be found
And found, and found, and found
Death came into my room
And sang me a song when I was younger
But I dropped it in the sea
Deep in between the old headlights that look up from the water
Cause this time, this time
I’m looking up from the carpet
And this time, this time
I’m tying up all the loose ends
And we’ll bite our fists and stab our arrangements
And watch the dust dance over the pavement
And our footprints will stain any steps
I’m walking on thunder
I’m floating away on lions
I’m starting a fire to be with you so
Light up, Light up, light up

She Knows
04:02
|
|||
|
Sophie down on the door spot
And so my eyes can’t help but to bleed
She said well it’s hard to be there but
I’ll try remember to be
Sophie up at the light switch
Let the colours come raining on me
I know that tonight will die and
We’ll watch it quietly
All I needed was a friendly picture
To wrap myself up from disaster
All I needed is to tell her so, but she knows
She knows, she knows, she knows
Sophie up off the match box
Will you strike a light on in me?
In time however resigned
You can chase the sky freely
I’m all rocks at the window
Can you catch a zephyr from me?
Baby pull down your curtain
Remove all certainties
All I needed was a friendly picture
To keep me up and eat my laughter
All I needed is to tell her so, but she knows
She knows, she knows, she knows
Working might keep you
Don’t let it defeat you at heart
And dogs will come beat you
I don’t think I’ll reach you at all
But being everything equal
it’s reasonable seeds should grow
Attention to detail’s
the only real thing that I know
I know I know I know
Soph, we’re under the pavement
Softly waiting for time to release
You know the future is stairs
And nobody cares for free
Our eyes won’t always be shining
It’s only timing to every degree
And checking the sides
You can adjust the lines like you need
All I needed was a friendly picture
To keep me up and eat my laughter
All I needed is to tell her so, but she knows
She knows, she knows, she knows

Finding Emily
04:06
|
|||
|
Wooden chimes above my door
Whisper when the wind comes on
Calling from the open road
Let tomorrow's storyline unfold
I feel the changes going on
Promises of going home
And finally there's something
to hold on to in your life
Baby I give up on you
Love is just another thing to lose
I'm rolling with these sunday blues
Someday I will give them back to you
Now I'm finding Emily
Something stirs inside of me
Wisdom from my Lego set
Knock it down to build it up again
I feel the changes going on
Every piece of dirt is blowing home
And finally there's something
to believe in in your life
So baby I give up on you
Love is just another thing to lose
I'm rolling in these sunday shoes
Someday I will give them back to you

Really Just Your Mouth
04:45
|
|||
|
I wish I could slip away
Into another world free from all the hate
Into another skin free from all this guilt
Into another time from the mess we've made
Cause when I look at the streets all I see is fake
And everytime I speak I’m looking over my shoulder
I’m pushing my luck every time I wake up
When I look at the TV all I see is makeup
When I look in your heart
You wanna save the world and man I wish I could relate
But all you have is hate, but all you have is hate
You’re 21 years old, you think you know what life's about
You think your eyes are open, but it’s only your mouth
Do you think we could have a break?
Let’s go for a walk down memory lane
Remember how the world felt when you were born
How beautiful it is to be alive at all
Now everytime you speak I hear is pain
When I look in your eyes all I see is shame
When I look at my phone it’s all the same
Everybody looking for someone to blame
Well look into your heart
You call yourself a hippie but you just mean hypocrite
You speak before you think, you speak before you think
You wanna save the world but all you do is drag it down
You think your eyes are open but it’s really just your mouth
Momma told me that life is what I make of it
My momme told me that life is what I make of it
People destroy what they love
People become what they hate
People destroy what they love
I'm scared to become what I hate

Hello Mum
05:24
|
|||
|
Hello mum, I’m high on drugs
And I’m crashing at the speed of sound
I’ve been out of touch and I lost the plot
But I’m coming back to earth right now
We watch the years slip right through our hands
And nothing ever goes exactly according to plan
We float around and get caught up in the breeze
But we’ll become the people that we’re meant to be
Someday I’ll reach and touch my dreams
I swear I’m gonna make you proud
If only I could take this with me
If only I could take this with me
Hello mum, I’m high on drugs
And i just figured out the meaning of life
It’s not in words and its sharp to touch
And it stands upon the edge of a knife
Jay Ganesha, Jay Ganesha
Hare Rama Om Gam Gana Pāṭhya Namaha
Shakti Rama oh dear god
It’s gonna cut you in half
But if you could see where I am now
Maybe you’d be less stressed out
If only I could take it with me
If only I could take it with me
Hello mum, I’m not your son
I’m just a jigsaw silhouette
made from the bones of stars
A hollow shape you can love and recognise
And we’ll re discuss if we meet up in the afterlife
I know you believe something waits
For us at the end of time
If only I could take you with me
If only I could take you with me

Cathrin Said

Cathrin said
Come back to bed
So you did
Cathrin said
It's in your head
So it is
You've got pins and needles
Creeping down your spine
But you'll wake up no matter what
No matter what sometime
Cathrin knows
Just what you mean
When you don't speak
And when you let go
She holds you in
And let's you peak
You wanna suffer
You wanna feel alright
You wanna feel her wallowing
Into your wasted mind
And the pins and needles
Are creeping all the time
So you send a sigh to stand in place
of questions for another time
Cathrin said
Come back to bed
So you did
Cathrin said
It's in your head
So it is
You wanna suffer
You wanna feel alright
Cause you know that you'll meet up
Yeah you'll meet up somewhere on down the line
It's in your head
You wanna suffer
It's in your head
You wanna suffer
It's in your head

On The Outside
04:40
|

|
Lord, is there something I can say to make it all
Blow away like a shadow in the morn
Cause it seems like we’ve been here all before, all before
I never thought you could heal somebody
With tiny rocks and crooked nails
But to see out you had to look inside
And to find your freedom you had to go to jail
So we’re falling again
But we'll be happy on the outside
In my mind
So we’re caught in a web
It'll be the same,
Keep movin to the ends of the earth
Oh I’ll run
I’m surrounded by unlucky friends
Who quote me poems and sonnets of betrayal
The haves will get just like the nots will lose
And all we can do is fly the sail
Lord will I say your name and know what life is for
With the words you said, nobody understood
Cause it seems like we’ve heard it all before
So we’re falling again
But we’ll be happy on the outside
Of my mind
So we’re gone in the end
And it’ll drag us cold and naked to the ends of the earth
Oh I’m gone
On the outside
On the outside
Say in the end of my days I'll be saved
I will change, I will change, I will change
Fade away like the stars that have no names
And faster everyday
So we're falling again
But we'll be happy on the outside
Of my mind
So we're gone in the end
Gonna run right right out
Keep moving to the ends of the earth
Oh I'll run
Lily we gon be alright now
We gon be alright now
Lily we can be alright now
We can be alright now

Tell Myself
03:02
|
|||
|
Think I've had enough now
Think it's time I go
Morning time's a switchblade
And I don't sleep till four
My heart feels so heavy
Though it's just an empty hole
And it wanes in wear
But it don't have a single soul
It feels like an avalanche
that's stuck upon a shelf
No one to tell
So I tell myself
I'm in a band
We play to chairs and floors
We're sick of 808s and hipster pricks with microkorgs
We play in seven-fifteen and we use a thousand chords
Though Wonderwall and Pixies tend to get us more applause
One day they'll all wake up
And the tickets will all sell
No one to tell
So I tell myself
I've got a lot of feelings
But I don't know how to get em out
Sometimes I get so angry
But I'm too withdrawn to shout
I suspect someone has tied up
An anchor to my shoes
I've drawn up plans to free em
But for now I'll sing the blues
For eighteen years eating pieces
of an empty shell
No one to tell
So I tell myself
Used to have a dream
Now it's hard to tell
Now I've got a big old car
I can't afford to fill
And I have friends
Who won't notice when I'm gone
And I've got a bit of money
But the plan's to make some more
One day I'll have all the petrol
To outrun God himself
No one to tell
So I tell myself

I wanna move to Vanuatu
And plant my head in the sand
In the escarpment, get an apartment
And wait there for my friends
And I will walk in the garden
And learn every movement of the stars
For heaven is sacred
But surely it’s wasted on us
Envy permit
We could get high
And sit up all night
Then when envy returns
We’ll watch the world burn
Watch the world burn
right up
Why is it so that trying to forget
Is like stopping a wave with your hand
I’ll find a shaman, change my ways and
Become one with the land
And I will feel all of my days
Fading away into the light
No climbing for answers
Or grappling for reasons, goodbye
Envy permit
We could get high
And sit up all morning
Until envy returns
To watch the world burn
Watch the world burn
right up
