about

„take me out tonight,
where there’s music and there’s
people who are young and alive.
driving in your car.
i never, never want to go home.
because i haven‘t got one anymore.”

(the smiths)

lyrics

We wear our watches
like hourglasses of death
so we can keep track
of our time running out.
we can run but never leave
without leaving a piece of our youth.
When we were kids we believed in
forever, ’cus it was still at our hands.
i throw all these insecurities aboard.
they drown me like an anchor
I know sometimes it can wear you out
to always swim against the stream.
the harder the tide
the stronger i swim.
it’s what i learned from a song.
My life without me.
These words that we sung by heart
were the lives that we lived.
these songs on long night drives
is the ink in our skin.
I carry these words in my heart
so it’s not empty anymore.
they sink to the bottom
like a treasure I buried.
My life without me.
We will be the band
that will play when this ship sinks.
so carve these words in wood
and bury me in them.
