TimundKristina Me and my wife saw you live at Dangast/Germany and were caught by the first song we heard. So haunting and melancholic. Favorite track: Motor Mind.

All Ghosts 04:24
I disguised you with the fear in my rearview I’m not glued to the past but that voice on my right told me that all ghosts fear to fly I’m a restless spark when the art of light turns dark but i was bound by the fall i was bound to fall for anything when all ghosts feared to fly all ghosts feared to fly I found you through the wounds in my rear view and all those fears to fly all those fears to fly Doesn’t matter how the mirror just knows what do you see? alone inside a stranger or adored like an angel ? I’m gonna find my way into you I’m gonna find my way in through you take this flight! take this flight! take this flight (sky)high! turning ghosts into angels now turning ghosts into angels, I’m turning ghosts into angels I’m turning ghosts into the sky. the sky the sky.

Unfinished 04:06
Lay it out Obsess on what needs fixing wait it out the lines are always shrinking don't lay it down and let it die unfinished rule out any doubt in your ambition don’t settle now when you could be setting out don’t go down unfinished lay me out Obsess on what I'm thinking make me doubt rule out any reason to lie down and die unfinished I’ll rule out certain death to my resistance I’m setting out be sad to settle now I won’t go out unfinished let me out can’t you feel my heart sinking? (shutting down from almost dreaming) let me down you see my heart’s not in it (shutting out with all my heart now) Don’t settle now don’t let me die unfinished rule out certain death of my ambition I’m setting out it’d be sad to settle now I won’t go out unfinished I won’t go out unfinished I won’t go out unfinished I won’t go out unfinished

Motor Mind 03:36
My motor mind A snapshot in motion from a million eyes I regret never letting you In my motor mind, I can’t sit tight My motor eyes play, pause, pretend, rewind begin again blink, hopelessly.. blink In my motor mind I can’t sit tight In my motor mind I can’t sit tight for long! In my motor mind I can’t sit tight I’m motorized I don’t know how I sleep at night My motor mind rolls all night long All alone I’m motorized I don’t know how I sleep at night My motor mind rolls all night long All alone (i apologize for seeming strange and leaving you behind these eyes in pain) My motor mind motorized my motor eyes motorized my motor mind.

Set Me Free 03:46
Set me free untie my tongue Set me free untie my tongue set me free from the virus that keeps me small, weak and lifeless outplayed as long as I keep quiet and refrain from excitement Set me free untie my tongue Set me free! Open me, my enemy I’m just dust if play silently all these years I’d forgotten to breathe and how i held it from the best of me ghost, set me free! go on, ignite my lungs! Set me free ! Just a little push.. Free, free untie my tongue set me free Free, Go on Ignite my lungs now go on, Push set me free ! free, go on and Set me free!

Departure 03:27
A new day’s habit expires in minutes look where you are deep enough in it? Enough said to uniform your world all comforts are worn yet none of them are your’s If you stay, your reason will divide into millions look where you are can you see past the deep end? If all you’ve served never cared you’d return then all you’ve learned is to serve well enough to keep you looking up, but never see look up, but never see So close to departure So close to what could be The World, The World! The World is calling you Don’t lose your way by just getting by if all things come to an end this ride will be the finest escape from all the doubt eating you up. You’re nowhere until you’re found. Make your move that makes them see Make your move that makes them see you’re so close to departure so close to what could be the World, The world ! The world is calling you!
