Sowing Season
Was losing all my friends.
Was losing them to drinking and to driving.
Was losing all my friends, but I got them back.
I am on the mend.
At least now I can say that I am trying.
And I hope you will forget things I still lack.
Is it in you now,
To bear to hear the truth that you have spoken?
Twisted up by knaves,
To make a trap for fools.
Is it in you now,
To watch the things you gave your life to broken
And stoop and build them up with warn out tools
Nothing gets so bad,
A whisper from your father couldn't fix it.
He whispers like a bridge, it's a river spanned.
Take all that you have,
And turn it into something you would miss if
Somebody threw that brick, shattered all your plans.
Time to get the seeds into the cold ground.
It takes a while to grow anything,
Before it's coming to the end, yeah.
Before you put my body in the cold ground,
Take some time to warm it with your hand,
Before it's coming to an end, yeah.
It's coming to an end, yeah.
Do you miss the blend,
Of colors she left in your black and white field?
Do you feel condemned just being there?
I am not your friend.
I am just a man who knows how to feel.
I am not your friend.
I'm not your lover.
I'm not your family.
Time to get the seeds into the cold ground.

Before it's coming to the end

Boats and Birds
If you be my star I'll be your sky
You can hide underneath me and come out at night
When I turn jet black and you show off your light
I live to let you shine
But you can skyrocket away from me
And never come back if you find another galaxy
Far from here with more room to fly
Just leave me your stardust to remember you by
If you be my boat I'll be your sea
A depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity
Ebbing and flowing and pushed by a breeze
I live to make you free
But you can set sail to the west if you want to
And past the horizon till I can't even see you
Far from here where the beaches are wide
Just leave me your wake to remember you by

Christmas Markets / Tattoos / Payday / Swag / Curry / Hangouts / Sunday Dinner / Where The Wild Things Are
Symmetry
There's symmetry in the way you cut me straight in two.
Each side reflects, the image of a crowd in an empty room.
Your're a match that can't be lit, spark a flame, burn infinite.
You broke me like a mirror, seven years keep adding up.
Walk barefoot through the glass not a single cut.
Direction: I'm walking on fences. It left me defenseless.
Balance: I'm losing, and the ground beneath does not exist
