It's Not Enough
I won't forget what you said
Still makes me nervous instead
Of letting it just go on
And try to
Just go through
And do not spend attention to those tempting distractions
You try to stuff my head
Suggesting I am mad
I'm missing all the good things
'Cos I deserve them,
I really need them
And though I don't know yet you're telling me again
It's not enough
it's not enough, enough no
I do not miss what I had
It is peaceful instead
Of being haunted by the nightmares
In which I’d have to
Take care
Of all the stupid crap you try to tell me everyday
You're barking up the wrong tree
I'm here
You're there
That's good because you'll never interrupt me
By saying
That I need things
And though you don't know yet I'm telling you again
It's not enough, it's not enough respect no
It's not enough, it's not enough reflection

Don't Know How To
Walking through my home town
Don't want to be alone now
Walking on a thin line
Though it will all be just fine
Tell me where do I belong to
And where will I find you
I want to be with you now
At least I’m trying to, anyhow
You tell me that I have to
Just go on and forget you
I promise I will try to
But I don't know how to get through
Tell me where do I belong to
And where will I find you
I know I’ve got to go now
At least I'm trying to anyhow
I’m trying to say
But I don't know how to
Even though I tumbled into you
I'm not afraid
Just don't know how to
Wait and wait to tell you that I do
Tell me where do I belong to
And where will I find you
I know you got to go now
I'll have to take it anyhow
Want you, but I don't know how to
Be the one, you want to be with too

Good Night Good Bye
I’ve never been to
But I’d really like to see it
And if you've been there
I beg you please
Just show me 'round and stay with me
Just take me out and make me see
I want to be there
Where a friend is still a friend
If you will take me
I'll promise you
To show you things that no one sees
A land with waterfalls and thoughts
So colorfull
Oh we are marching
To the sound of our drums
But no one hears them
As no one sees us
'Cos we are walking on at night
And there is just no end in sight
We won't surrender
We're still trying
Good night, good bye
It's not that complicated
To strive, to dive into
Something we call
New, no clue
Sometimes it's overrated
To fear, been there
Just take it easy
Good night, good bye
It's not that complicated
To breathe, and leave it all
I’ve never been to
But I’d really like to see it
And if you've been there
I beg you please
Just show me 'round and stay with me
Just take me out and make me see
'Cos I was blind

Not a Big Thing
Snow lashes in my face
I don’t remember how it feels
Lay down thinking it's easy
What I read and what I see
So are you really trying to convince me
Pretending to me it is not such a big thing
To wait and watch it all
Unravel any time
How do I walk it off
How could it make any difference
'Cos every time I try it just feels like
Another wall behind a wall
And every word I write
Is sinking ink on paper
A small attempt to get a place
Where I can rest
Anger lashes in my face
And jealousy does too
Don’t know how to take it now
Every time anew
So are you really trying to convince me
Pretending to me it is not such a big thing
To wait and watch until we
All fall apart
How do I walk it off
How could it make any difference
'Cos every time I try it just feels like
Another wall behind a wall
And every word I write
Is sinking ink on paper
A small attempt to get a place
Where I can rest

Empty Highways

Empty Highways
As we sought shelter from the pouring rain
And Mister Young sang «Like a Hurricane»
It made me numb, it made me weak as well
And paralyzed as far as I could tell
I spent three hours on empty highways
An endless loop like most of my past days
The pouring rain had passed on further then
And just like me did not come back again
There was a liquor store not far from here
It is beyond me that I called it dear
It made me numb it made me weak as well
And paralyzed as far as I could tell
Is it the truth, I think is what I see
Or do I bend it that it fits to me
I had a friend who told me on and on
It makes no sense to hide from everyone

Hide Out

Hide Out
When did you get lost you ask
You didn't see when things changed fast
All you try is to find a way
Back to the place where you feel safe
Out in the sticks
You tried to find out
About what the fuck you are
Don’t be fooled
You’ll never figure out
What the fuck you are
Alas you'll shout
To realize it’s all
About what the fuck you are
Doing here
You can hide out
Thinking that you won't be found
Feels like flying
Feels like someone should have told
Nothing anywhere, no nothing at all

Then Leave Me

Then Leave Me
You caught fire
You grew wings
And you did not know
What it could mean
You did not know
Where your treasures lies
That was the reason, you denied
To be on top of the world
And no one will get hurt
And you'll be there alone
If you stay
You caught fire
You grew wings
Then you started burning up
Those awful things
You started out
Across the ocean easily
Finally discovering what you
Should have seen
To be on top of the world
And no one will get hurt
And you'll be there alone, if you stay
Then leave me
Leave me with my fight
And use me, to find a place
Where you can rest the night 'cos
I need to be left, be left alone
I have to sort it out on my own
You caught fire
You grew wings
Then you started burning up
Those awful things
You started out
Across the ocean easily
Finally discovering what you
Should have seen
To be on top of the world
And no one will get hurt
And you'll be there alone, if you stay

Piece of the Puzzle

Piece of the Puzzle
Who do we trust
The moment we have to
And how do we
Get the proof
There's nothing in between the lines
And we misunderstand
The purpose of the words
Saying and doing something
Someone else could get disturbed
And it backfires, backfires, back on us
Surprise it's an unexpected force
We have to deal with now
'Cos we were believers
We have to deal with now
We have no own opinion
We said we don't care
We do not give a damn
It matters neither for you, nor for me
No it's not our fault not ours
That no one gives us days or hours
To think
We have got to work all day
Then we celebrate and we do
Everything it takes, it takes
Not to think about what we should do or could do better like
Take a step, take a step
Take a step back for
Everyone not just for your self
And for your own sake
And don't just talk about
Give a piece of the cake
To those who really need it
Give enough space
So everybody can evolve and
Contribute just a little piece of the puzzle
To a much more beautiful world
In which it's worth living in

Wintertime
Don’t you know it is wintertime
All over the world
Millions carry their hope in a bag
And fear inside their chests
Will you lock your door these days
Even though you know
Alone they will die in the winter cold
This is not a test
I’m afraid of these hypocrites
Who say they're doing good
Then they vote for a dangerous trip
Back into the woods
We’re no longer here to take
There’s nothing more we need
If dignity might bring back spring
Then let it take the lead
Don’t you shut your mouth
Or everything goes south
Neither you close your eyes
Nor your ears to lies
Be aware that for some there is
No direction home
Millions carry their past in bags
And don’t know where to go
How many times I can hear us say
We don’t know what to do
Yes it might be we don’t know it all
But that's no reason why
We shouldn't try to figure it out
We’ll soon be gone for good
Don’t you shut your mouth
Or everything goes south
Neither you close your eyes
Nor your ears to lies
Be aware that for some there is
No direction home

High & Dry
What are you doing
And who are you
Could it be
That you’re trying to tell me what
You think now I’d like to hear
This is what I fear
Well then I do agree a bit
This is what we do
But will you come around again
Will there be another you
And a different me
This is what I fear
'Cos you don’t understand
If I try to explain
What I really really feel
It might be the most messed up story you’ve heard
We try to protect
Ourselves from harm
At whose expense
This so-called safety will remain
Just a pipe dream in our minds
And it's kind of sad
This is what I fear
'Cos you don’t understand
If I try to explain
What I really really feel
It might be the most messed up story you’ve heard
But you’ll leave me high and dry
When you will say to me
Good bye, I tried, I failed my dear
'Cos you got much too close to me
So I lock up and back down
And I’ll be gone for good
Good bye, I tried, I failed my dear
That was what you always feared
So I lock up and back down
And I’ll be gone for good
Good bye, I tried, I failed my dear
You think that none of this is real
You just made it up in your own mind
Good bye for good

Nothing Wrong
Some people talk about committing murder
But I’m sure, they won’t
Some people say they'll do it better
But I’m sure, they don’t
Some people think about the future
I’m not sure, I think it’s wrong
They insist it makes ‘em stronger
But I’m sure, it won’t
Some people say, they’re educated
And I’m sure, they are
But they don't see the need to share it
At least that's what I've seen so far
People want to be important
I’m not sure that they are
Claiming that they're really trying
But I’m sure, they could do more

Same Old

Same Old
Same old ringing bells again
And I don’t know what to do
Same old jangling creature is
Waking in my head
Same old futile thoughts about
The unpredictable
Same old fear to be aware
Of the unavoidable
Don't look back
Don't look back again
Strike out hard and unrelenting
And don’t look back again
But don’t you try to trick me by
Saying you feel ashamed
Same old trap to underplay
The obvious again
Biting time, I don't complain
And won't look back again
Don't look back again

We Are All
We're all, just a bunch of people
We're all, just mysterious creatures
We're digging tunnels
And we're moving fast
We're taught it's a shame to be the last
But one of us has to be
Well then just let it be me
We're all, so it seems, just a headache for the world
We're all, just a never ending noise out there
We stay up all night
And we're buzzing around
Getting tired of this irritating sound
But one of us should shut it down
Shut it down
At the end of the day
We start all over again
By the end of the day
The end of the day
The same mistakes
The same procedure every year
When we add it all up
Is that all we've got
We're all, just a reproduction
We're all, just a wheel in a clockwork
And on and on we're ticking
To the given beat
We're just passengers on a pre-booked seat
And no one knows where we're going
No one knows
At the end of the day
We start all over again
By the end of the day
The end of the day
The same mistakes
The same procedure every year
When we add it all up
Is that all we've got
Are we stuck on a cargo ship
Which is heading into the rocks
Will the ocean deep, swallow us all
And spit us out again

Michael Flury, trombone
Linda Suter, violin, mandolin

You'll Figure it Out
May I suggest
You shouldn't be afraid
You might be losing
All that you've got
May I suggest
Do not believe
That you deserve the wealth
You're drowning in
Don't you knock your
Heart out now
Let me suggest
Don't miss the opportunity
To get, what you got
Is much too much
It is alright
Being a bit humble
It might be just a hell of a relief
Don't you knock your
Heart out now
You'll figure out, you'll figure out
What's good for all of us
You're gonna shout
You're gonna shout
It's good for all
May I suggest
Do not regret
You might be losing
All that you've got
May I suggest
You take it easy
'Cos your imagination will kick in
Don't you knock your
Heart out now
Let me suggest
Think about it twice
To get that what you got
Is much to much
It is alright
If you do stumble
There's nothing you can do
Or break in two
You'll figure out, you'll figure out
What's good for all of us
You're gonna shout you're gonna
Shout it's good for all of us
