We're sitting outside
My kinda bar, my place this time
Ringing strings are reflecting some evening light
Singing tunes in the back
I feel grounded for a nickel
It's not a bad deal at all

But it raises a question:
Are we no strings attached or ready for progress?
I call it a jam session
You call it a vibe
Are we vibing? Am I buying?

I've been fired, recently
Add a little heat before the start of summer
No longer mixing drinks behind a bar
But beers with antibiotics
**** my life, am I right?

I'm now back to "but what about tomorrow"'s
This anxiety it comes with the freedom
Hardwired, and I was never any good with crafts
Hello again, who invited you to the table?
This was supposed to be a closed party
Just two plus two
Let me be real with you

I am free to breathe again
To think and speak how I want to
To get up and go out, go down
Better watch my mouth
Or it will all spill in the streets
Don't want to be thrown out
In front of her

You know
If you have to much going on at once
It cant trap you
So slow down son
You're doing fine, you will be fine
Eventually, surely
The worries, they'll go away in time
Or at least they'll grow quieter

But who knows?
Maybe I'm lying

Ein Tanz durch die Zeit
Nennen wir es mal Geschichte
Den Mittelweg nehmen und nach oben schauen
Meist im Dunkeln tappen
Manchmal auch klar sehen
Und dabei verstehen das man dabei immer nur wird
Laufen oder rennen können
Stolpern klar
Mal gehen, aber nie fliegen

Maximal fallen
Bis zum Aufprall

Und dann tut's weh

Es ist arrogant zu denken man könnte immer wieder aufstehen
Und von vorne anfangen

Lasst uns so tun als wäre nichts gewesen

Opportunisten an die Wand
Ansonsten reicht euch die Hand
In Versöhnung
Das Leben, es ist komplex und hart

Genug

Eins ist klar
Es muss weiter gehen
Wir müssen
Weiter gehen

Und miteinander reden
Sonst wird das nichts
Mit dem Frieden

A broken mirror is standing on the sidewalk
As I walk by
Innocent still as much as an object can be
On Berlin's streets
What things have you seen
In your lifetime?
Mirror, mirror about to fall?

Should I come back later maybe?
To paint thee, nails?
Make some art, add my note to the mix, to spark a little life?
I'm sure it'd be fine
To add a little color to a broken reflection

A day later, I see
It's been shattered to the ground
Maybe hours maybe minutes later
At day or night, no difference

Some other was quicker, maybe more confident
Maybe more urgent
In their expression
Of violence and destruction
Instead of addition and creation
I'm curious
What might have been the trigger?

Was it because it was a motionless thing?
That kept quiet and just stood there
Fragile to the touch and openly vulnerable?
Was it the reflection?
Or was it the cracks within?

I hope they feel better now

I can't smell the flowers anymore
Walking by
Her perfume is to strong, lingering still
Left in the air a mile behind
My head's between her thighs, testing
Or was it on her thighs, just resting?
I'm not alright!
Is that alright?
To say?
Is it still alright if I want to stay
With someone?

Can't breathe fresh air when I'm outside
Anymore
Cause someone is always smoking
In the progressive West, Oh wow so great!
Ashtray, ****, strawberry or marshmallow?
Pick your character, sorry I meant flavor
Let's show only your best behavior
In public
While they burn the world down
Don't get up, don't get loud
Just don't ask any questions, we don't want to get unpleasant
And smile :)
Don't forget to smile
Really I just don't understand what all the fuss is about
Her Hinge profile said unpolitical
Breathe, meditate, journal, work on yourself
I've been losing myself

I can't hear her anymore now
Can't hear her breathing
Falling asleep in my arms near the canal
Feeling safe, not thinking of leaving
Cause someone is always blasting noise
Just hanging out, connecting with nature
A night out with the boys
Alright, sure
Just take what you want fellas
And who could blame them?
Their father's first loves, can you name them?

It's 2025 and the news are out:
The Pope's dead and Gaza is flat
100 days in office Mr President, Congrats!
It's official now, took only 4 years, they're right winged extremists
Can you believe it!
And who could have seen it?

Next comes the forecast
We're not safe, but don't panic now!
The weatherman says
It's 5 past 12, past point of return
In case of fire stay calm and collected
It's just our planet, feeling a little neglected
Just temperatures rising next to the GDP
In desperate need of some ICE
Knocking doors down
Racing kids through the street
They have special cells for them
...
Honestly just head for the nearest exit (bag)

And you're still outside walking your dog like it's year 19 nine nein
Aber das kann doch nicht sein
"But that can't be", what a great time to be alive
And walk outside and meet a girl
And
Buy a house
And
Raise a family
Put your kids to bed and tell them
Everything's gonna be fine
Hey Mama, why are you crying?
Mama why are you crying?
