Berlin

I’m lost in Berlin and
I don’t know the language
I’ve ran out of money
I’ve nowhere to go
It’s hard to try living
Without understanding
It’s hard understanding
Why I’m left alone
I’ve been here for days now
I’m tired and I’m hungry
My life’s just a haze now
It can’t get much worse
I’d try drowning my sorrows
If they couldn’t swim
But I’ve seen this before
And I know where I’ve been
"In case of emergency
Just break the glass"
As far as my faith goes
I’m losing it fast
After all that I’ve been through
And all that I’ve done
To come here and tell you
To suffer the gun
I have no one to talk to
And no one to call
I have nowhere to run to
A long way to fall
I once had an angel
But I clipped her wings
And after tonight
I have no place to stay

Wie spät ist die letzte Zug?
Die Rechnung, bitte
Ich möchte zahlen?
Tisch für ein
Are you feeling stronger?
It’s all a state of mind
Just living for nothing
Learning to write

The station is empty
There’ll be no more trains
I can’t leave here and walk
As they’ve locked all the gates
The distance I’ve travelled
I see in your eyes
This mirror is broken
The portrait is blind
I am writing this now
Just to see if you’re better
I wrote you a letter
I forget the reply
You tried to ignore me
You told me I’d died
I argued for something
I kept all your lies

I’m writing this now
Just to capture a moment
Of beauty. You left me
You drained and possessed me
A grain of submission
Collecting editions
Of postcards
Within your white church

Wie spät ist die letzte Zug?
Die Rechnung, bitte
Ich möchte zahlen?
Tisch für ein
Are you feeling stronger?
It’s all a state of mind
Just living for nothing
Learning to write
Are you feeling stronger?
It’s all a state of mind
Just living for nothing
Learning to write
