SOULMATE
the gentle touch of this piano cello duet
makes me think of you the love of my life
finding my heart blessed full of memories of the both of us
being together side by side
treasured moments not always valued
at the time and still filling me up with
feelings for which I don’t have words
and I don’t wanna hide
while bittersweet tones of yearning
are gently moving from present to past
I know you will come back to me at last
but for now I am left with the touch
of my memories and with every single cell
of my body I’m counting a thousand years
at least it feels so long
then with sudden certainty of your endless love
I realize I’m embraced right now by your
wonderful soul and both of us are strong
EVEN CLOUDS DO WANDER
up here you have a clearer view
won’t you join my adventure here above cloud nine
so you can put yourself aside and rest for a while
cause there’s a place between the worlds
can we believe that this isn’t real
will we ever explore this room above our heads
so we can put ourselves aside and out there to help
cause there’s a place between the worlds
we are all aligned
spinning stardust
is the theory of everything the limit
the answer to how far humanity can go
I do wish for a peaceful heart
how far away are these unified philosophies
so I can put myself aside to be able to hear
cause there’s a place between the worlds
FOLLOWERS & RULERS
go to your center
stay in your zone
follow the guidelines
you can get strong
there’s unlimited power
more than you think
connect to this fountain
give inspiration a chance
let no one ever tell you
that you can’t do better
let no one ever tell you
that you can’t climb up the ladder
let no one ever tell you
that you will fail for sure
we are so used to
stay small and comfortable
we are so used to
say yes when we mean no
this is not about rich and poor
this is not about us and them
this is not about followers and rulers
it’s about you and me
let no one ever tell you
that you can’t do better
let no one ever tell you
that you can’t climb up the ladder
allow your motivation
to go beyond expectation
to rise
TO LOSE
who am I
when you are gone
still I can’t define my shape
who am I
when you’re around
can you see behind this facade
I cannot lose
I will be hurt
I have to choose
to lose my heart
who am I
without my strength
when I try to show myself
who am I
within your power
can you feel the strain inside me
I cannot lose
I will be hurt
I need to choose
to lose my heart
so please hear me say
it’s alright, it’s ok
you’re not lost in this phrase
you’ll win one day
so I will go with you
and lose
JAWS
let go is surely not the thing
I want to hear from you
there are so many things
I really wanna hold on to
I’m sick and tired of appearing
like that sad-eyed girl
thats why you started asking me
if I permit myself to cry
at last my tiny feet have touched
the ground and I decide to stay
I keep my ears shut when you
tell me I should go the other way
pretending I don’t care does not
at all help ease my pain
so why somehow it seems that
I deserve to suffer endlessly
my heavy heart burns inside
rage and anger show their grace
sorrow overwhelms the day
I’ve done enough when am I done
I am falling apart
my heavy heart burns inside
rage and anger show their grace
sorrow overwhelms the day
I’ve done enough, yes enough
I will go on my own
DETACHED
now I
see you
I can barely trust my eyes
is it you
who got to know
my deepest love and light
although the years have passed
no movement can be found
isolation is your key
that’s you now
I was waiting for
detached from all this grief
it’s so clear
what now
I can’t
join you
I won’t fall into despair
on your way
back to life
you’re still fighting a blind fight
I PAY THE RENT
I’ve been waiting
for somebody like you to appear
but now I can’t handle
these irrational thoughts you have
why are you that careless
can’t you at least show a little support
what I’m truly wondering is
if your love’s even real
now I seem to be
the one to blame
out of nowhere
you hardly choose
you tend to fade
you’re on the run
you fool will end up all alone
loosing the faith
cause I used to feel like
I’m never enough
don’t be naive you said
I’m shaking off the sweetness
you’re not the one
I’m better off without you
still you’re not awake
trapped in a dream
made of fire
to be alive
to feel immortal
I need to run
THE DOLL
afraid of acting insecure
avoiding any human conversation
he’s the one who doesn’t know the last time
that he looked into somebody’s eyes
there’s a desolated lonesome space
so he’s deciding to invite a guest a lover
who fits perfectly into this place
I’m packed up waiting to arrive
I will love you this is what I can do
that’s why I am taking part of this delusion
I can make you happy dancing all night long
I wanna be in the possession of a puppeteer
he chose her name a while ago
likes bathing her in precious perfumed waters
drapes her frame in veils of silver braids her hair
assembling his perfect bride
a nightmare dressed in creepy white
I can’t do this I will never be yours
leaving you can be the way out of this prison
please read the agreement I can guarantee
there is no way for us it’s time to face reality
LISTEN TO THE END
are your eyes wide open
do you see the wonder
in the distance
can you sense the meaning
hidden in the nightfall
longing to be found
challenge the horizon
dare to ask for guidance
deepening your calling
doubts are fading
are your eyes wide open
do you see the wonder
moving closer
do you mind the silence
present in this moment
listen to the end to begin
FREEZE
I’m freezing
in your presence
I can not bear your
stone cold heart
I’m freezing
although I keep my distance
I won’t share my warmth with you
or split my heart in two
I’m freezing
I’m asking why you
feed the winter inside
of you and your life
I’m freezing
although I tried to build
a wall made of ice
between us two
no more frozen breath
we both need to be brave
no longer sharing thoughts
´cause now it’s time to part
and I start with saying
goodbye
SHADOW ISLAND
Why should I care, what nail polish you want to wear
Why should I know, how you like to peel an avocado
Talking gossip (gossiping) about other people’s lives
What else do you do behind others backs
Don’t you see, people around you getting angry
feeling nervous about what your next step might be
You like to control in the name of perfection
then better accept me changing direction
if I choose my way
if I’m not your clay
if I’m honest
if I’m straight
I don’t want to stay
CEREMONY
in our hearts
the joyful welcome unfolds
all our love
contains the wonder
of life’s divine reality
all songs from the album COMES & GOES written by Su Rehrl & Marc Bruckner
YOU WILL LEARN
don’t you dare have regrets
we’ve all heard this phrase before
things that made us feel hurt
keep the past and pain alive
we are guided by delight
simply seduced with words
gravitating towards hope
won’t change your view – you know
I don’t know if I’m
I don’t know if I’m the one who ends the suffering
I know that I, yes
I know that I will somehow be okay ‘cause now
I know you can, now
I know that you can see the clarity
of blurred water and beyond – so I will learn
guilty thoughts make you fall
into the endless night
this is perfect is what you say
mark my words – you’ll see
OUT OF THIS MAZE
never thought I could be here on my own
next to a thousand possible ways
I search for the horizon instead
I’m completely mystified
leave all the maps you had behind
says the voice inside of my head
locate the treasure to reveal
your destination to get
out of this maze – my way
I start to rearrange the streets
to my advantage I believe
irreversible decisions appear
like dead ends as if I’m blind
back where it began I can’t deny
to feel discouraged and out of control
shifting platforms around me I pray
but that won’t get me
out of this maze – my way
come with me I show you
possible solutions
miracles surround you
please reach out your hand
so I can help
I can easily see that you’re there
I never thought that you’d care
I feel shaky but I’m back on my feet
it’s time to make the last move
I’m heading to the core
to solve this puzzle
LOVE IS ON A WALK
tell me now, how do you feel
your achievements do not count
what is the thing that you desire most in life
where has the love gone
be honest please, what are your goals
I’m not interested in your success
It’s not dangerous to question what affects your mind
where has the love gone
somewhere along the line
do you think that you’re self-aware
can you handle the things as they are
your heart suffers silently, for all those years
where has the love gone
somewhere along the line
someday does not exist
there’s no such thing
ALL ABOUT US
you can’t hide that you feel
insecure and small
it’s insane to think that I’m the only
one who see’s – all of you
you won’t ever share
the fear of being blamed
there’s enough to contribute and listen to and
I’m simply overwhelmed – by all of you
say what you want, what to do,
what you can – it’s all about us
now that I see what you need,
how your care – it’s all about us
you like to keep essential questions
to yourself
I don’t mind if I’m erasing this
idea of trust – I’m all of you
GLASSPIANO
sometimes it seems
as if there’s so much left unsaid
I see all of this moments in a different light
still out of sight
I wish I could go back
I think the time is right
because I know what I’ve thought
I know what I’ve said – I do regret
my yearning
my mind carries
so much weight, I’m afraid
and still I care about the past
and I am drawn to words
that haven’t been said
my yearning
behind the glass
I’m whispering, imagining
that won’t change a thing
LARGER THAN THE UNIVERSE
escaping sorrows
by finding comfort in my hideaway
outside myself, inside empty space
this is where I wonder
moving silently at the speed of light
down the milky way
spiraling so lovely, because of zero gravity
haunting tiny particles
colliding suns ahead of us
eternal time
escaping sorrows
by finding comfort in your hideaway
outside yourself, inside empty space
this is where you wonder
moving silently at the speed of light
down the milky way
spiraling so beautifully, because of zero gravity
collecting tiny particles
arising suns ahead of us
transforming into descent black holes
WE STAND ON OUR WALLS
as a child, I could see
a falcon far away
but now times, times have changed
he got out of my range
factories and stores were built
that peoples life isn’t killed
what we call a happy life
is not more than destroying our paradise
everything can be sold
as long as we are staying cold
yeah mama, how long will this go on
someday nature is gone – she said
we will stay on our walls
until the first one is going to fall
composer / lyrics: Marc Bruckner
MUTE MODE
he’s lost in the dark
never wants to see the light
can’t you please ease your grip
you obviously enjoy introducing this veil
of unbreakable silence
he’s willing to share
there’s so much to contribute
but not a word does pass his lips
you constantly try to feed these illusional doubts
he’s forced to hide behind
quiet night falls
eagerly longing
for any kind of blur
disbelief is fragile
and tender
insecurity is taking over
composer / lyrics: Su Rehrl
OBSERVATION
don’t place the past in front of you
move it back where it belongs
it’s waisted time to find the cause
for actions that ended up in agony
leave this circle
stop feeding the pain
by pulling back
the idea of yourself
clear your thoughts, everything starts there
how you perceive people and emotions
you don’t need me
I’m no part of identity
set me free
train your mind and
start to observe
ROADSTRIP
hello, hello, hello dear open spaces
goodbye is all
I have to say to you now
‘cause your days are gone
I know they’re done
inside this loneliness
hides the emptiness
afraid of this illusion
I tumble all around
shadows are haunting my dreams
please let me go
so that I can end this
paralyzing state of mind
to take this ride
into the unknown
hello, hello, hello dear open spaces
goodbye my friend
welcome eternity
I don’t know what’s next
it will be better than before
the choices I have made
led to this wondrous place
I’m willing to share
my knowledge and beliefs
so it’s time to get on board
I can’t wait to leave the ground
Finally decided to grow
and to go ‘cause
I’m giving birth to a new life
