First of all I've gotta say that I love you
You can doubt it, you can trust it, you decide what to do
All I know for sure is that my word is true
Please forgive me for these words that are directed to you
'Cause I
I am not ripe
Yes, I'm still a child
There is one thing on my mind I have to talk about
It could sound a little strange now if I speak it out loud
I've been waiting far too long to express my doubts
In all those things that you think they will easily work out
But I
I am not ripe
Yes, I'm still a child
Yeah, I'm still a child
You ask me "When will you marry me?
When will we start a family?
Honey, tell me, when will we
When will we have a baby?"
But I
I am not ripe
Yes, I'm still a child
Yeah, I'm still a child
I've got no master plan
'Cause I'm not even half of a man
'Cause I live from day to day
To day
Well, I'm still very immature
It can't be cured, must be endured
Come on, Lady, that's for sure
You know me and you love, 'though
Slightly, deep inside
I'm still a child
Yeah, I'm still a child
Yeah, I'm still a child
Yeah, I'm still a child
Still a child

I've been standing right here since the first day I remember
And remembrance 's what I was raised for
A stanza on my socle sets a Thursday in September
Says I took stance whenever, 404
Now my name, it got forgotten as inscriptions been fading
While I'm just standing still, come rain or shine
But it turns out that I'm a different shape every time
A different person, eventually, casts his "I" on me
Well, I stay
As they
Come and go on their way
Some may
Someday
Maybe meet me again
I'm not just a statue
Instead you
See a little bit of yourself
Mirrored by me
Most don't mind what I remind of
But still, I do remind them of memories and moments, each their own
Of comedies, more tragedies that they just leave behind when
They incise those scratches in my stone
My marble skin is getting thin like pages of a diary
My stony bones, 'though bend and bow, don't break
It's a burden I can't abide, I'm weak and broken deep inside, can't seek
A safe haven to hide, 'cause I am petrified
But I stay
As they
Come and go on their way
Some may
Someday
Maybe meet me again
I stand like a statue
So that you
Can force a little bit of yourself
Right onto me
I stay
As they
Come and go on their way
Some may
Someday
Mutilate me again
And I'm just a statue
For you
So you do maim my name, my memory
My identity
Well, I'll remain
The same but not the same
Without a name
I'll stain, it's all in vain
And I'll remain
The same but turn insane
My stone will stain
I'm slain, oh, what a shame
Wind an rain
They'll maim my face and frame
Can't take the pain
Restrain once more again
The acid rain
Will maim my face and frame
The stress, the strain
The pain, constant refrain

You have been as meek as a lamb with me
Always been waiting patiently
I took things for granted and offhandedly
While time flew by mercilessly
I hear you
I see you
Really, I do
I'll make it all up to ya
Please wait for me
We will be happier
Don't worry, I'll take every step with you
As soon's time's ripe I will be, too
I'll want and do those things you want me to do
But please don't judge or nudge me into
I hear you
I see you
Really, I do
Forever
And ever
Wanna see you through
I'll make it all up to ya
Please wait for me
We will be happier
I'll make it all up to ya
Please wait for me
We will be happier
I'll make it all up to ya
Please wait for me
Keep waiting for me and we will be happier

Rare Earth Hypothesis

Ev‘ry lumpy rocky bit
Any itty-bitty shitty planet
Each little uninhabitable object
On an elliptical orbit
Ev’ry celestial single one
Drawing distant circles around the sun
It has got its famous name right from a goddess or a god
Why don’t we fin’lly start to treat ours like one?
Cause the truth is
Human hubris
It gets punished
I mean, this ain’t s’pposed to be
A sermon or hellfire lecture
I don’t believe in angry gods
But fear the force of nature
Our life in paradise
‘s got its limit and its price
And you shouldn’t leave deep footprints
While you’re walking on thin ice
Don’t matter why
The tide is high
But it’s rising
Why do we balk at walking
The way that we are talking?
Ain’t it shocking
There’ still proles that are mocking?
Why don’t we do
What we know we gotta do?
To safe this beauty
This unique planet blue
It is up to you and me
And the whole humanity
As our duty to care
This earth is rare

Hey There Denier

God knows I'm no little innocent and certainly no saint
Diligent, not above average, with depraved self-restraint
A creature of old habits, they die hard inside of me
But how can it be that you still refuse to see?
You say scientists were a poor reliance - just a few could read between the lines
But in spite it is no rocket science to read the signs of times
You demonize the same science and despise politically
That led us into health, wealth and prosperity
Hey, hey!
We're in a state of death and decay
Hey, hey!
How do you dare to look away?
We mustn't mess with Mother Earth
We hold no other in reserve
This primate race that's gone ape-shit
Won't hurt that planet, not a bit
We're just a bunch of wannabe godlike and greedy chimpanzees
A flyspeck in its history
Nature needs no conservation, we
Couldn't more agree to disagree
But your moral hazard is a fucking fallacy
Hey, hey!
We're driven by loss-anxiety
Hey, hey!
We can't eat money and luxury
Can't you see it's contradictory
High life for you and hate for refugees
Cause we're all in the same old sinking boat
So screw you and your devil-may-care attitude
Screw you!
And if this should be beyond your confines
Your living standard is no human right
If you car's the phallic symbol for you
Feeling so inferior, I do pity you
Hey hey (hey!)
