My New Album
Available now
it’s been ten years
i slowly roll the windows down
i can see insecurities dressed up as warning signs
and fear-driven sirens chasing us
but it’s high time i let them out
one by one, let the stories unwind
stories of self doubt, wasted nights, almost lovers
and this beautifully terrifying journey of being human.
stories about the feeling of being bound to the ocean, mother nature and at the same time losing your heart to concrete jungles and strangers
stories about touching the universe, falling in love with yourself and this crazy world and finding peace within a whirlwind of thoughts
because in the end…
thoughts become words
(and now they are yours to have.)
Album
Void
Would you wanna take a ride with me?
Would you wanna take a ride?
Would you wanna paint the sky for me?
Would you?
Would you wanna pick a rose for me?
Pick a rose full of thorns?
Would you wanna show your scars to me?
Would you?
Chorus
Cause honey ahhhh
It takes a whole lotta effort
(a whole lotta effort)
To fill this void next to me
Yeah Baby ahhhh
It takes a whole lotta effort
(a whole lotta effort)
To fill this void next to me
Verse 2
Would you talk about your wildest dreams?
Let me in to see the truth?
And if I asked you to set me free
Would you?
Chorus
C-Part
I’m not looking for a lover
I’m not looking for a lover
I’m not looking for a lover
I’m just looking for a wild thing
Looking for a wild trip
I’m not looking for a lover x3
I’m just looking for a wild trip
Looking for a wild trip
…so would you wanna take a ride with me?
Chorus x2
Berlin
have you ever had a city call out your name
have you ever lost your heart at a certain place
have you ever found truth in strangers eyes
well me, i’ve been there a couple times
and it paints for you the brightest of pictures
and it pours down on you like glitter
it makes you come alive
it makes you run wild
and when it’s half past five
you never felt this free
moving to your heartbeat
with a reckless mind
it makes you come alive
have you ever spilled your fears onto the ground
got lost in the streets cause you followed the sound
of wild youth raising they’re glasses to the sky
screaming „‚here’s to the city that never dies“
and it covers your whole body in neon light
and it slowly pulls you in from behind
it makes you come alive
it makes you run wild
and when it’s half past five
you never felt this free
moving to your heartbeat
with a reckless mind
it makes you come alive
watch your heartbeat
keep it steady
are you ready
Pretty Boy
pretty boy with the sad eyes
we haven’t talked in a long long time
i can tell that you’re kinda tired
you shake your head „it’s all good, it’s all fine“
so i ask about your family
„how’s your band, are you playing a lot?“
you say your brother’s getting married
the band’s a disaster but it’s all you’ve got/you’ll give it a shot
and as you talk and you talk
i count every goddamn freckle on your face
and as you talk and you talk
i apologize for drifting away
thinking bout the ways i could ask you to stay
pretty boy i’m dying to know
what’s the deal when we text at midnight
am i just a name on a long long list
cause if i am i’m getting all the wrong signs
and i’m wondering if you ever think of
when we spent hours and hours in a smoky bar
i burnt my hair with a cigarette
we were drunk when you first held me in your arms
and as I talk and I talk
i count every goddamn freckle on your face
and as I talk and I talk
i apologize for drifting away
thinking bout the ways i could ask you to stay
pretty boy
wanna hold you tight
pretty boy
wanna see you shine
oh i’m dying to be your kiss goodbye
my pretty boy with the sad eyes
my pretty boy with the sad eyes
pretty boy
wanna hold you tight
wanna get lost
in your hazel eyes
oh i’m dying to be your kiss goodnight
my pretty boy with the sad eyes
my pretty boy with the sad eyes
pretty boy with your sad eyes
we haven’t talked in a long long time
I Touched The Universe
once upon a time
i touched the universe
it made me realize i’m part of it
once upon a time
i felt the milky way
bursting out my finger tips
plants started growing
through the gaps between my toes
my mind started flowing
like the wind through a window
so now that i’m free and wide awake
give me all the sunlight i can take
throw me into the ocean, the highest waves
wrap me up in leafs and leave me here to stay
once upon a time
i started caring for
the dried up flowers inside of me
i almost lost my mind
before i lost my thoughts
before i felt that i’m infinite
i strengthened my handshake and embraced my tears
i welcomed the heartache with „hello my dear“
so now that i’m free and wide awake
give me all the sunlight i can take
throw me into the ocean, the highest waves
wrap me up in leafs and leave me here to stay
Made Of Glass
I’m a little bit reckless
I’m a little bit a mess
I’m a little depressive
But I am trying my best
I’m a little antisocial
A pessimist through and through
I’m a prisoner in my head
but I swear I love u
and though I never learned to love myself
love is all I got to give
and though I am made of glass
you’re a risk I dare to take
I will water my garden
to make the roses bloom
& I will try to let the sun in
so it can shine on you
and I will cover you in flowers
and make you fall asleep
so I can look at you closely
without you looking at me
cause oh I never learned to love myself
my love is all I got to give
and though I am made of glass
you’re a risk I dare to take
and the story will end like
all my stories do
I will lock you out of my heart
before you make it through
and maybe someday you will
understand what it’s like
to be a soul in a body
that got lost in the night
cause oh I never learned to love myself
my love is all I got to give
and though I am made of glass
you’re a risk I had to take
cause oh I never learned to love myself
my love is all I got to give
and though I am made of glass
you’re a risk I had to take
Front Row
the crowds keep getting bigger
this room is getting smaller
there’s another pretty someone
waving up to you
and i’m standing by the entrance
in the part of the club that you can’t see
cause you’re blinded by the headlights
counting in the band like 1, 2, 3
and it’s bittersweet to know
that not too long ago
the girl you used to take home
was me
it’s bittersweet to think
about the songs we used to sing
the way you ran to me
after the show, mmhhh
but i ain’t getting
your frequencies no more
i ain’t moving
to your beat like i did before
i ain’t getting your frequencies no more
there’s another girl waiting
another one waving
in front row
i can hear her cheering
there’s just no way to overhear it
and you’re packing up your bags with
a new helping hand
oh i’m right there in the shadows
still got a drink i have to pay
when our eyes lock for a second
honey don’t you worry, i’m already on my way
and it’s bittersweet to know
that a couple years ago
the girl you used to take home
was me
it’s bittersweet to think
about the songs we used to sing
the way you ran to me
after the show, mmhhh
but i ain’t getting
your frequencies no more
i ain’t moving
to your beat like i did before
i ain’t getting your frequencies no more
cause there’s another girl waiting
another one craving
in front row
Lyrics
Strangers feat. Simon Lewis
Cheap wine and empty packs of cigarettes
You tell me ‘bout your parents how you never wanna be like them
And the next thing that I know is your lips on mine
Honey it’s 7 am, you shine brighter than the red sky
Yeah my heart skipped a beat
Yeah my heart skipped a beat or two
When you held my face and told me I was beautiful
Just for tonight
We’ve got tonight
We’ve got tonight
Only tonight
We’ve got tonight
We’ve got tonight
We’re just two strangers looking for a little bit of love
Just for tonight
Only tonight
You come and go without a trace
Leaving all your marks on bodies you cannot name
There’s something bout the way, something bout the way you are
I feel like I’m longing for someone who can break my heart
And my heart skipped a beat
Yeah my heart skipped a beat or two
When we walked these empty streets
And held hands like lovers do
Chorus
People like you and I just function temporarily
Cause we get fucking scared anytime we feel anything
So we try to get by with not giving too much away
Cause These kinda love affairs are all we can ever take
Chorus
Blue Love
A room full of dust
Boxes piled up
You’re leaning against the wall
your cracks and your scars
oh I know them by heart
the bruises make you beautiful
after all of these years
and thousands of tears
you still shine like a star
i sing you some songs
and you remember them all
come play me the melody
play me the chords
my blu-ue love
my blu-ue love, oh love
i take you with me
and we sit by the tree
reminisce for one last time
bout the stories we’ve told
all the fears we have fought
and the stages we shared
those are memories of gold
my blue love
my blue love, oh love
isn’t it strange?
How time makes us change
How we leave our loved ones behind
i hang you back up
in this room full of dust
don’t be too sad i swear i’ll be back
my blue love
my blue love, oh love
my blue love
my blue love, oh love
The Tall Girl
i’ve always been the tallest girl
way too skinny, way to insecure
but my brain has always made it clear
no room for nice words, i wish i’d disappear
all the people around me
seem to know how to live life properly, but not me
and i’m getting tired of pleasing everyone
man, i just wanna sleep and write some songs, that is all i want
chorus:
cause when the only thing that keeps you alive
is you hoping for the stars to align
when it all gets too much
please unplug
and should i ever be in a state of mind
where i can’t move my feet or feel my spine
when i depend on people holding my mug
please just unplu-uuuuuug
there’s a lot i hate about myself
i always wished to be somebody else
i don’t like my ears, i think they’re huge
and i wanna be a singer but i sing out of tune, yeah i do
and i smoke and drink and sleep too much
it’s like my body and mind are out of touch
chorus
don’t get me wrong, i like being alive
but sometimes i just can’t find peace of mind
and i’m done pretending things i ain’t
i’m done with all the bullshit and the fake
chorus
i’ve always been the tallest girl
way too skinny, way too insecure
Oceanbound
nothing will ever set me free
like crashing waves & the ocean breeze – aah
nothing will ever make me feel
like salt in my hair & sand beneath my feet – aah
somebody

Self Love Club
Verse 1
Look at us
We are pushing and pulling, we’re tryna to be something else
That we can’t be
We don’t feel enough
We keep hiding our scars from ourselves
Scared to see
Prechorus
So can we make a love club
Learning how to self-love
Find a secret place to bury our doubts
Burning like a wildfire
Leave the ashes behind
So let’s close our eyes and scream it out loud
Chorus
We should learn to love ourselves
We should learn to love ourselves
We should learn to love ourselves
We should learn to, love ourselves too
Verse 2
Do you still know?
When were young, didn’t wanna be held back by our demons
We were so free
So what went wrong?
Ohhhh we have turned into millions and millions of broken pieces
And it’s all our minds
Prechorus
So can we make a love club
Learning how to self-love
Find a secret place to bury our doubts
Burning like a wildfire
Leave the ashes behind
So let’s close our eyes and scream it out loud
Chorus
We should learn to love ourselves
We should learn to love ourselves
We should learn to love ourselves
We should learn to, We should learn to
We’re broken souls
Fill our cracks with gold
And even if they say so
We don’t have to be that perfect
We’re broken souls
Fill our cracks with gold
And even if they say so
We don’t have to be that perfect
We should learn to love ourselves…………
W.M.I.B.S. (White Men In Black Suits)
The world is so cruel
White men in black suits
Try to tell us what we can or cannot do
Oh the world is so cruel
i don’t know what to do
do we look like we’re fools?
they’re trying to mask all the evil and sell it as the truth
oh the world is so cruel
but it keeps spinning, spinning round
how i wish for all the lost love to be found
but it keeps spinning, spinning round & round & round
this world is a mess
and i am trying my best
to find a good sense in the life that i live
i think i’m kinda over it
yeah this world is fucked up
i can’t stress this enough
how can love still be illegal and people put to death?
oh this world is a mess
but it keeps spinning spinning round
despite all the blood that it carries around
oh it keeps spinning, spinning round & round & round
they build fences and walls
and people lose their homes
but white men in black suits turn the crying on mute
while counting their notes
