Let’s start from the beginning When everything felt new Let’s start from scratch Let’s start again Another point to take off To see this whole situation from above Like a star Hanging in the blue Up so far Completely new Let’s start again But once you began it’s hard to pretend Like you don’t know how it all will end So certain and yet ready to start You know the way by heart Another point to take off To see this whole situation from above Like a star Hanging in the blue Up so far Completely new Let’s start again Like we were new New and whole From head to toe Completely loved And born to be Not good nor bad Completely there So full of life And harmonies Like fully awake Let’s start again Another point to take off To see this whole situation from above Like a star Hanging in the blue Up so far Completely new Let’s start again Like we were new New and whole From head to toe Completely loved And born to be Not good nor bad Completely there So full of life And harmonies Like fully awake Let’s start again

What if your best is not good enough? What if you fail and then get lost? What if your best friend is in love (in love, in love) In love with your father’s girlfriend’s son (her son, her son) But hold on, let’s hang around What if... How does that sound We’re doing alright, we are doing okay What if the moon drops from the sky (the moon, the moon) What if the sun went out to soon (the sun, the sun) But hold on, let’s hang around What if How does that sound We’re doing alright, we are doing okay Because we can never really know the Underlying reality oft he world As a result we construct systems of thought So we behave as if the world matches our fictions What if a truth does not exist (what if, what if) What if ‚what if‘ is all there is (is all there is)

The Ceasing 05:03
That day I saw you marry one I thought it don’t get well along You used to fight and beat and kick All in front of your two kids One time you even broke her jar Because she crashed your guitar After a night of coke and trips She kicked you out, you burnt her shit Here comes the ceasing That day we catched some fireflies You made me promise: „No one dies“ We used to fight and beat and kick Just like we were normal kids Everytime I gazed my knees You helped me up, dried my tears By the way time went on No one knew all will be gone Here comes the ceasing You have lost your way so why don’t take a hand So that in your despair no fear will guide your mind Everyone will be gone Everything will be gone All of your friends, all of your life, everything, everything Your family, forget all you know, everything, everything Here comes the ceasing

Don’t be so afraid It’s already too late Calm down, lay back We’ve completeley lost our track Don’t be so uptight And loosen up alright You have put on a fight You didn’t get it, but you might I’ve thought I would grow up But then I only grew old You can pick up all the pieces and leave Me at the end of the runway Will I find some solace Now that I’m a man No, you won’t, but I can promise It will end how it began We have a lift-off, we have a lift-off Stay put, buckle up, don’t look out It’s the ground, we are all going down Don’t be so afraid It’s already too late You can pick up all the pieces and leave Me at the end of the runway Where I stay out of sight And I’m gonna be alright, okay

A piece of tomorrow The weight of a grain Don’t worry, sense will follow You are all in for the fame The end of a living At a loss for words It’s like falling in love If you know what I mean Everybody down Heads to the ground Put your hands in the air Nobody move Face to face with the devil Laughter of relief After hours of prayers To come to grief He let them stand in a line Took out one at a time Oh, a piece of tomorrow The weight of a grain Everybody down Heads to the ground Put your hands in the air Nobody move

FAKE Hamburg, Germany

"FAKE is an attempt to escape the great despair through provincial reverberations, krautige veils of mist and idiosyncratic pop-tokenism of this and the last millennium." (Thomas Pynchon)
