Hasn't Happened Yet Waiting for the sun to melt the mood of my heart Thinking of the days But cannot think my thoughts loud Waiting for a moment, a move to react Something that hasn't quite happened yet Can you tell what I say from what I mean Can you read my mind and explain it to me Is there anything I might miss To pay more attention to? Is there something wrong In what I always do? Waiting for a cloud to lift me up in the sky I need to look from above why I'm down all the time Scares me to see you agree to their laws But the smallest reaction does still need a cause If you get the chance twice Are you sure you would try the same way? Remember all of your tries have brought you here Is there any question in time? Any answer to the big mark? Cos I look and I find any change even from this far Looking for direction in an everchanging time Should I turn to the left or turn to the right? Just a little kick to some of those sides But I stuck in the middle with a limited sight And I can't keep from holding on When I haven't started yet I can't keep on trying but I still do And I won't break the circle Mine is not a straight line But I'm always trying to continue Waiting for the sun to melt the mood of my heart Thinking of the days But cannot think my thoughts loud Waiting for a moment, a move to react Something that hasn't quite happened yet No something that hasn't quite happened yet

Waiting At The Surface Waiting at the surface Waiting for someone Waiting, I am waiting waiting all along Take me to the center Show me where it starts Moving, I'm just moving Moving anywhere Travelling without direction A new beginning in the air Longing for the mountains Longing for the sea Take me for a ride now Right into my heart Breathing, only breathing Breath inside my heart Blow your hair quite curly Breathing out and in Moving, I'm just moving Moving anywhere Travelling without direction A new beginning in the air Longing for the mountains Longing for the sea Catch the train and get off To something new for me

Concertina & The White Guitar Won't you wait for me Look what they've to spend to This white guitar has a broken nek But it's still in tune Won't you wait for me Carrying the goods in The g-string is missing I best put these strings to keep Her from flipping over While you're just moving on And I shout a goodbye And you're turning around And it seems that my eyes lose its light To see you smiling back at me Would you lead me now So I can see if I can trust And I carry the goods that we found back in Won't you wait for me I fear you're leaving me I fear that you leave and I feel that I'm lost So please take my hand So I can see if I can trust Oh please stay with me On my bike I ride all over the westwall From north to south Thru the woods Down old highways High above Thru the clouds of the skybridge And back down And back down You won't wait for me You won't wait for me It's hard to see for me You won't wait for me And it seems I am asleep in some other parallel univers As I try to wake myself Someone's tickling me You won't wait for me

Tidal Waves Or War [Part 1] (Rainbow Dress) She appears with her long black hair The second time in a row First as an action-figure Now as an ethiopian child In her rainbow dress In her rainbow dress In her rainbow dress And everytime we're torn apart By tidal waves or war Cos in this space I'm living in We couldn't be farther apart And I swim underwater Yeah I dive below all visitors Whose came to see the show At the themepark At the themepark At the themepark But I was growing appetite For some candy and some junk So I left and couldn't get back in And Joey and someone were driving my car And did some nice stunts Yeah we had a lot of fun And I was just longing to Get back home to you

Sleep Again 04:15
Sleep Again I thought I knew I been prepared But finally this state is there I dare any reaction Except then lock myself away I just survive by sleep all day I'd turn the clock to it will happen The second month of every year again Won't pass me and I go to sleep again Although I knew it'll come to this Guess the experience had shown it would It's kinda like a bad surprise I still can't handle with that mood Those easy tricks I know to fix All of these lunatics inside my brain An icy rain make the blackbird sing again I just woke to fall asleep once new I can't stand to be surrounded by you Even I warned you I'm not sure You understand this state I'm in I just can hope for you still like me When these phases finally end I hope we are still friends then It's something different just to talk of Then to be right into this again Be patient then So I will sing again I just woke to fall asleep once new I can't stand to be surrounded by you

Long Way To Go It's feeling like a long way to go Can you get me some Every bend around another Isn't it a long way to go In spiral moves Say it ain't like it looks like Maybe I'm afraid to go home One million circles are spinning in front of my eyes Is this one of my turns? If so please dim the lights Maybe there's no sense in try on To find the one I Won't stop but I'm gonna guess so Maybe it's just time to belong to myself That might be the trick to start things Rare light in dark days I think I'm losing my mind Just one of my turns And I just cannot hide

Quiet Humming In The Back Of My Head In the dark of my room I melt Words in my head, they come together Then they suddendly fade I'm tired of writing so they slip away Until everything's gone there is still A quiet humming in the back of my head I'm waiting for you now nearly an hour The second time today Yeah thanx a lot! I'm some kind of drowning in thoughts Hey what am I worth? I need something to remind me what is good A quiet humming in the back of my head Late at night when there's nobody home I'm looking for the sound to let my heart grow When I am lonley and there's no aim ahead I am glad there's still A quiet humming in the back of my head

Dustset 03:42
Dustset Yeah it's healing in a special way Don't you wake me I'm far away Our movement is nearly frozen I'd loved you really like me to stay I would be there night and day Just a slight turn softly into grey The dustset's rising And I can't see no way back in All blurry and I like it here this way Surrounded by a thousand tears I'm swimming next to you my dear I'm drowning Yet I touched the ground Today Today Today Today Yeah it's healing When I lose my way It's healing I go on that way It's healing Bang bang bang bang bang! I'd loved you really like me to stay I would be there night and day Just a slight turn A slight turn A slight turn Softly into grey

Flourman 04:10
Flourman Sidewalk I never walked Leads me to a house in the fields Great hall just miles away I have to walk when the road's okay Cos thru the spiral to your room Across the island I'm there soon Flourman I'm miles away I hide inside a house today And next to me the beauty sleeps We can't wake up Of this apocalyptic dream Cos thru the spiral Like a numb Where is your face...? Outside the bloom of spiral stairs That are in your eyes No one realises You got no hands You got no feet You got no face Cos you don't really need Your room's too small Don't bother me No answer still I won't get free I'm lost in here and if you can Leave this place Flourman And thru this spiral like a numb My ears won't hear but I ain't dumb My hands won't feel but I can tell No answer still I leave the cell Goodbye flourman Goodbye flourman Goodbye flourman Goodbye flourman Leave this place Flourman Leave this place Flourman

Lank 04:06
Lank I take a walk into the dark To tear black and white apart Something I don't understand When there's a start seems there's no end It's a good time to try some other Way right out of here It's a good time Why do I bother? Get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here It's a decision for deciders It's something more then just a try I keep my hand close to my heart And watch their stars fall from the sky It's a good time to try another Way right out of here It's a good time Why do I bother? Get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here It's a good time to try some other Way right out of here It's a good time Why do I bother? Get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here

Once In A Lifetime I got this pen and this blank page Cos this window's just flipping off again And these words run thru my fingers This ink is like the blood of my pain Surely unprotected And I'm scared somebody could turn the joke on me But I'm looking for some kind to lighten love of my heart And this moment could set it free Once in a lifetime Maybe once in a lifetime I beg nobody disturb this So I might get loose I open up to the unknown A fragile state that could break any moment you wake And i hang on as long as this connection is stable Before I'm passing the next exit-gate A state of mind I am joining And I wish I just could stay there eternally But the trouble with those moments is They are always rare So I'm joining while I'm there Maybe once in a lifetime Maybe once in a lifetime I beg nobody disturb this So I might get loose Only once in a lifetime Maybe once in a lifetime I beg nobody disturb this So I might get loose I got the weapon But I can't use Only once in a lifetime Only once in a lifetime I beg nobody disturb this So I might get loose I got the weapon But I won't use

Tidal Waves Or War [Part 2] (Loot) How did they get me to the army How did it get you also there A five day excercise at the airplane hangar But every week and every day We do the jumping-level All over again All over again All over The old turk at the candystore Inside a supermarket-store told me to decide first But as I choose the choice seemed to diminish So I checked the electric devices to my left Extended in a glass cabinet And I found a loot-machine And it just cost 9 coins But the salesclerk told me This was not for sale
