Thank You Jonathan

You can make me smile by the books

that you use to write,

and you return a smile through the books

that you use to write,

400 pages, so entertaining,

I ́m coming of age, so entertaining,

thank you Jonathan

you must be nice, I can tell by the books

that you use to write,

it ́s true, I ́d be inspired

if I walked by your side

Oh no Alex

an accident, you hit & run, oh no alex,
reams of swill
, morning-after-pill, oh please alex,
consuming drugs, not eating much, alex,
corrupt and bad, a selfish head, oh no alex,

i ́m talking to myself again,
still alex is my closest friend,

biting nails, your soul ́s on sale, come on alex,
you lie and steal, ego ideal? Oh no alex,

and so i am cut up, you win again,
and so you cut me up, you win again


200%

You gave 95% you did this one so well,

and you failed,

you gave 96 % you did this one so well,

and you failed,

you gave 97%... you gave 98%...

you shot for the moon,

enough for me and me and you,

you shot the moon,

enough for me and me and you,

you gave 200% cause you are

still a young man,

you waste 200% that ́s your alternative plan,

I heard you say that ́s just me,

but your „me“ affects „we“,

and „we“ failed


The Waltz of the lonely bird

I don ́t really like life,
every day the same old strife,
if I was all alone
I wouldn ́t really know
how much longer I would bare this,

but every day I see you,
and every time we meet I feel fine,
and every day I see you,
your behaviour is just like mine,
it took me years ́till I realized,
I ́m just...

You ́re my only ray of hope,
the only one I ́m fond of,
if I was all alone...

...it took me years ́till I realized

I ́m just a birdie with a mirror
in its cage

Up!

and if this ship went down,

you gave your life for the others,
you would rather drown,
then seeing them saving one another,
with your helper syndrome
you are still on your own
when your time comes,
you try to look good
when you act like you should
as your time comes,

up, we all will go up

and if this plane crashed down,
you ́d give your life for the others,
you ́ll gain the bravery crown,
and I will choke and I ́ll smother

Clorine in your eyes

the chlorine in your eyes
brings you big surprises,

the best of your childhood-times
suddenly arises,
and as your eyes turn red,
you ́re in the swimming
bath
80 years ago,

stay with me at home please
at home with me

the chlorine in your eyes
is your big reminder,
we hated modern times
and so we both decided,
to build our cosy grave
where we once laid our heads,
80 years ago

die with me at home please,
at home with me


Wait for You

you ́ve got your map of the world hanging in your tiny garage, and you tagged every spot except the one where you really are, and the biggest push-pin tags Canada, I claim you don ́t really care where just far away,

I won ́t wait for you and you won ́t wait for me,

you took your map of the world with you to your brandnew garage, and you tagged every spot except the one where you really are, maybe that ́s life like in Toronto, lately that ́s life like in Toronto,

I won ́t ever wait for you and you won ́t ever wait for me
my heart ́s as tired as my bones are and all the garbage in your plans are based on your personal dissonance
