about

Recorded at HDF-Records in October 2016

lyrics

The raindrops bring all love to rust
My heart is wrapped in woolen trust
Bring this ship to land
I don’t pretend to be okay

And your voice still fills the halls
And your pictures grace the walls
Every touch of you is still seeping through my skin
I feel traced by ghosts no matter where I am

Look, I’m standing on my feet
But still it’s you who carries me
You were the builder of my mind
You wrote the contracts that I signed
I can hardly hold a pen

And your smell still tickles in my nose
And your mottled hands enclose a rose
And a drop of blood is dripping from the thorns
I conserve it so I save my burst soul

I just want to get through the god damn day
And lie down to bed and be able to say:
“I did well, I am decent and I don’t expect divine reward
I feel so bad about the things I couldn’t change
I could say it loud, taken in by myself
I never really had a chance to be involved into this plan
There might has never been a plan
