when was it you chose to
call this the world
it might be gross for it ain´t
nothing but a curse
you say
naked as a wall
we stand
naive as a knife
i cut my own two hands
so you took the door
that leads to the floor
and you open windows
that slowly slowly sink in
and i dropped a needle
in the sand
i pushed buttons that
blink and never return
they blink in every turn
we blink and never return

you took a brush to the violet tree
i took a break from the violent sea
let´s take a walk in our forensic forest
i stick my tongue out
you stick your tongue out
these are humble explosions
this is public intimacy
those are awkward volcanoes
this is all but grey theory
you dropped the keys at the childhood department
i left my wallet at the laundromat
we passed the gates to the holy church of market
put on your ninja shoes
put on my ninja shoes
these are silver seperations
this is crossing a red line
those are the blissful accusations
there is nothing but this time
would probably drown
in your playground eyes
they saw it all before
the ambulance arrived
could possibly drink
from your fire escape eyes
they burn it all down in front of
our stainless steel minds
the ambulance arrived
the ambulance arrived
i chew a leave of the violet tree
you brought a brush from the violent sea
let´s make a vow in our forensic forest
i cut your tongue out
you cut my tongue out

the secret life
of your walking frame
standing by the window
observing owls
to the true nature
of that corridor
echoes
echo
we´re stuck in the traffic
while the trains pass
we´re trapped in translation
while the years fly by
don´t you lose your temper
in this ghost town darling
echoes
echo
echo
let go
your far-fetched smile
inside a paperback/ paper bag
contours of a landslide
on your vest
they kept your files locked
for the sake of it
you kept your eyes
closed
echoes echo while
echoes echo
there it goes
there it goes

you are the loneliest planet on earth
you are many you are diverse
you are the longest walk in outer space
you are a beauty you are of grace
i can´t believe this is all there is
i won´t proceed without thinking about
who pressures and who measures
the people and the world
the people and the world
what you just said does not sound true to my ears
what you declare how could it ever be right here
oh we will gather yes we will gather one day
one beautiful day
it all depends on where the question mark ends
it all depends on the great new president
the old scenario and hey haven´t you
a wish to see it through
i wish to see it trough
don´t wrap more magazines around your forehead
don´t throw your clumsy and fragile friends away
if that´s a silhouette - that´s not a silhouette that´s me
as i am trying to be
(free)
when we woke at the factory
i drank from the oil to see
if it healed the machines
if it killed the machines
when we woke at the factory
i ate from the lead to see
if it healed the machines
if it killed the machines
if it healed the machines

employee of the month in
the labor of waiting
let´s pronounce our names right here
pronounce our names
right here
decision of the week at
the office for pure bleeding
do they screen our lungs right here
they screen our lungs
right here
and as a background we lay
while the homeless city runs through our veins
and all our columns and rows
they collapse from the weight of the rain
student of the year at
the faculty for binge eating
let´s pull out some souvenirs
pull out some
souvenirs
judgment of the day
at the center for obedience
is there anything to handle with care
to handle with care
and in the foreground you see
how the homeless city is on its way
and all our comments and posts
they collapse from the weight of the rain
and as a background we lay
while the homeless city runs through our veins
and all our columns and rows
they collapse from the weight of the rain
emotion of a lifetime
what is it you believe in
or is it you to believe in

a childhood at a parking lot
your friends say they visit you soon
before you go on vacation to
the living room of a dentist where
the table cloths show elephants
the curtains do speak of thin air
and the moths look like a reference
to the magic tricks of the great bear
bare bone
is there something you would call
your own
a shopping cart on a frozen lake
your parents keep counting from ten
see the headlines with employment rates
and announcements for garage sales when
the sparrows fly from blue to black
and sheets of white will cover your neck
the fields they turn from green to grey
nutrition facts fell from the sky that day
bare bone
is there something we could call
our own
and in slow motion
the landscapes collide
"would you pay some attention?"
"can i steal your time?"
and in reverse
the landlord walks by
"is this place of your avail?"
"do i owe you a smile?"
and in slow motion
the landscapes unite
"would you pay some attention?"
"may i steal your time?"
and like a reflection
they leave you behind
break lose from the branches
did they hear your advice

so how did you cross your side of the water
i was leaning against an ocean within
and it is so hard to describe your daughter
she was swaying like fifteen birches
before the rain
she said: one shout goes out to the railroad whale
she said: one shout goes out to the snowflake that burns
half a heart ago there was a backyard trail
connecting
dots with arrows with hands
rocks and sparrows that land
dogs with sorrows that end
right here
for you walk like a tree
you don’t to walk like
a reason

the joke
04:32

i was wearing the joke
like a too thin jacket on a cold
but bright winter day
the cost of living
it increases like insane
that´s what you got
from the news
and all rights are reserved
by last years bruises
are they gone
where do we stay
when the nights might return
in their most violent way
and now your muscles ache from the reasonable drugs
and my mind got stuck in the ceiling above
and now our bones rotate in a garbage truck
and the skin it burns from the ropes and the scarves
are you okay?
i was carrying the stroke
like a rare colour somewhere near my throat
you suppose this is a joke
while we propose to
take a long walk
in the woods
or let´s just say
once your parents got divorced
you could see x-ray
while the stars
turn around
the world stops spinning
to leave us upside down
and now your muscles ache from the reasonable drugs
and my mind got stuck in the ceiling above
and now our bones rotate in a garbage truck
and the skin it burns from the ropes and the scarves
are you okay?
i was sharing the joke
like a last thing left untold
before we drown
ourselves
please put the picture back on the shelf
how to arrive
in time
how to preserve this
thin line of hope
it´s in our hands
the weight gets heavier
as we pull on
both ends

you told us it was god who dared
to paint all your toenails pink
paint all your toenails pink
you gave them a pair
of socks in return
and you noticed it was strange to meet
at the co-drinking spaces and
now it´s time for you to leave
your house lives
by the shore
curiosity
choreography
solidarity
curiosity
you showed us how to comb our teeth
to brush our hair and fold our ears
you taught us child position is
the fear of falling through the moon
i did the slowest sun salvation
ever seen
embarassment the new common sense
a cheap collage a holy friend
who knows
home is where your
breathing grows
possibility
sweet emergency
four times five makes three
so fuck off
hierachy

oh it´s a hidden november
in your lemongrass shell
and it´s a charcoal heart
that the stars can tell
unlike a brittle agenda
on your chamomile wrist
more like a bunch of sayings
that the wind will twist
and would you wait for
what do you wait for
sun on the ground
below a meadow of anger
is where the needs do grow
i found them hard to remember
but there is a sudden glow
between the chimney and your shoulders
i hear the flying fish bark
is there a chance that they told us
how to cut through the dark
and would you wish for
what do you wish for
stone in the sky
and now we sum up all the borders
just to make a clear line
hey could you straighten out the corners
for the passing of time
how to appreciate those rumors
without a recipe for junk
or do we leave it to the dust balls
to cover question marks
and would you care for
what do you care for
water into snow

so how on earth could we get so flagrant
and how the hell could we go so far
you keep your breath and hold your savings
it´s easy to blame everyone for the harm
removing barricades from an empty room
your gaze holds an atmosphere i can´t prove
once you bottle your hopes you loose your fragrance
this place is a swing state we call a heart
now kill two stones with just one bird
and wait for the witness to disappear
delete each protocol of our toy gun blues
be sure to make sure we shed no tears
