Cold Water

You can't pretend
That everything is alright
While families drown on their way to a better life
Dead eyes wide open and water in their lungs
And you can't accuse
Someone saving a life
When there is no doubt they are just doing right
While all you've got is worn out words on lying tongues
You never thought twice about burying your conscience
And that's a bitter irony
'Cause there are no graves for the ones
Floating in cold water
Killed by your borders
Dehumanized by Frontex pushbacks
Left to drown, faceless, nameless
With your signature on their death sentences
Depriving them of their human rights
And you still pretend
Everything is alright
And you still accuse
The ones saving lives
You never thought twice about burying your conscience And that's a bitter irony
'Cause there are no graves for the ones
Floating in cold water
Killed by your borders
You never thought twice about burying your conscience And that's a bitter irony
'Cause there are no graves for the ones
Floating in cold water
Killed by your borders

Who's to Blame
02:12

We're still looking for a clue
On what went wrong and how to fix it
And we still try to resent the thought
That maybe, just maybe it's all our fault
But you're still stuck on the same old page
Of who's to judge and who's to blame
You say, you say it's all the same
And that no one can win this game
But I say
You can't play
When you're afraid to lose
And I say
Just play
Just play like you can't lose
All that we've got left for now
Is memories dismembered
I remember you forgot and you forgot
That I remembered
Maybe we're better off this way with everything
We had between us
And maybe it's alright with me and we can both
Consider us winners
But you're still stuck on the same old page
Of who's to judge and who's to blame
You say, you say it's all the same
And that no one can win this game
But I say
You can't play
When you're afraid to lose
And I say
Just play
Just play like you can't lose
Take another look at yourself
You and I will find someone else
Oh take another look at yourself
It's not the end of the world
But you're still stuck on the same old page
Of who's to judge and who's to blame
You say, you say it's all the same
And that no one can win this game
But I say
You can't play
When you're afraid to lose
And I say
Just play
Just play like you can't lose

Drunk in Cologne

I remember sitting in the car
Looking straight into a world of adventures
This uneven little group that we are
Driving right into a special kind of endless
Been looking forward to this weekend for quite some time
And the opportunities it resembles
Going through the day with open eyes and open ears
Trying to catch a glimpse of this and remember
All of these hours passing by
In front of my wide open eyes
As we set off into the night
The clock ticks faster than my life
And I still can't seem to grasp why
It only does when I feel so alive
So take me back to the show of last weekend
Give me more of the noise and the crowd
Take me back to sleeping in the car
And give me more of getting drunk in a city
I've never even seen before
I remember sitting in my room
Staring right onto my blank white floor
And the boredom is a special kind of endless
Compared to the weekend before
So take me back to the show of last weekend
Give me more of the noise and the crowd
Take me back to sleeping in the car
And give me more of getting drunk in a city
I've never even seen
So take me back to the show of last weekend
Give me more of the noise and the crowd
Take me back to sleeping in the car
And give me more of getting drunk in a city
I've never seen before

You tore out yet another part
Of the fortress I have built around my heart
Under shadows cast
By the past
Time treats me gently and it heals just like they say
Still inside and outside these scars will stay
But
With all the patience that I always seem to lack
A years persistence and the walls will start to crack
And with all the times I fucked up you still got my back
Still got my
Back
You set me on a brighter way
I never thought I'd see the day
I'm never going back
(I'm never going back)
I'll move on and I'll begin
To come to terms with who I've been
And all that's still to see
(It's still in front of me)
Now I'm searching for something to say
So we don't go our separate ways
I'll have to take the blame
(I fucked up, I fucked up)
And though it's easy to lose faith
When we've been better than today
Trust me, we'll be okay
(I fucked up, I fucked up)
You set me on a brighter way
I never thought I'd see the day
I'm never going back
(I fucked up, I fucked up)
I'll move on and I'll begin
To come to terms with who I've been
And all that's still to see
(I fucked up, I fucked up)
You set me on a brighter way
I never thought I'd see the day
I'm never going back
(I fucked up, I fucked up)
I'll move on and I'll begin
To come to terms with who I've been
And all that's still to see
(I fucked up, I fucked up)

Fever Dream

I can't begin to tell you how much you shaped me
What your opinion means to me
And in retrospect you're the one that has made me
All that I am
Now all I have left
Is a memory straight from a fever dream
Making me miss something that's never been
I'm sick of the silence, sick of the lies
I'm sick of pretending
That you're still on my side
I couldn't wait to show you how much I've changed
And how I've bettered myself
But in the end that's only how I want to be and
Not how I am
Now all I am
Is a memory straight from a fever dream
Making me miss something that's never been
I'm sick of the silence, sick of the lies
I'm so sick of pretending
That you're still on my side
You never gave me half of what I gave you
I never gave you half what you deserved
And even though there's so much you could throw at me
You just can't claim
That I've never tried
A memory straight from a fever dream
Making me miss something that's never been
I'm sick of the silence, sick of the lies
I'm so sick of pretending
That you're still on my side
A memory straight from a fever dream
Making me miss something that's never been
I'm sick of the silence, sick of the lies
I'm so sick of pretending
And you're still just
A memory straight from a fever dream
Making me miss something that's never been
I'm sick of the silence, sick of the lies
I'm so sick of pretending
That you're still on my side
