D O M I N I Q U E

IT WASNT MOTHER WHO TORE US APART

DO M I N I Q U E
DOES THIS NAME MAKE YOU THINK OF YOUR DAUGHTER
F A T H E R
SURELY ISNT WHAT I THINK OF WHEN I READ YOURS

PLANNED IMAGINERY LETTERS
BEGINNINGS AND ENDS
CONSTANT THOUGHTS HAVE LEFT ME SLEEPLESS ONCE AGAIN

MY HEART ACHES
MY EYES WATER
HEAD HURTS
NO MORE

TOO MANY BIRTHDAYS YOU MISSED
TOO MANY CHRISTMASES YOU MISSED
TOO MUCH TIME I MISSED
WITH WHAT I IMAGINED TO BE YOU

SCARS IN MY HEART
AND STAINS ON MY MIND
YOU LEFT

AND IT KILLS ME TO SEE
IT IS JUST YOU AND ME

AND IT KILLS ME TO SEE
ME AT SEVENTEEN

YOU AND ME
YOU UNDER MY SKIN

YOU ARE MY WINTER

AND I SWEAR I TRIED
TO KILL WHATS INSIDE

I DIDNT MAKE IT IN TIME
PLEASE COME TAKE ALL THATS MINE

ALL I WANT IS YOURS
AND HOW THIS HURTS

ALEXANDER

THE STREETS THE SUMMERS THE ANONIMITY
PUBLIC TRANSPORTS PHOTOBOOTHS AND GALLERIES
THE ZOO THE PARKS APARTMENTS THE TOPROOFS

ARCHITECTURE HAUPTBAHNHOF THE BALCONIES
THE WINTERS WITH ME

ALEXANDER YOU ARE MY WINTER

GUMACHE

YOUR TOOTHBRUSH IS WHERE YOU LEFT IT
IT SITS RIGHT BY MY SINK
EVER SO OFTEN WHILST BRUSHING MY TEETH
MY GUM ACHES MY THOUGHTS SLINK

SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
SENSELESS FIGHTS

YOUR TOOTHBRUSH IS WHERE YOU LEFT IT
IT SITS RIGHT BY MY SINK
EVER SO OFTEN NEGLECT MY TEETH
IN REVERIE SIT DOWN RETHINK

HOURS WALKING
I WAS TALKING

YOUR TOOTHBRUSH IS WHERE YOU LEFT IT
IT SITS RIGHT BY MY SINK
EVER SO OFTEN I GRIND MY TEETH
ABSTAIN
DEEPSIX THIS MISSING LINK

NOT TOGETHER BUT ALONE

STRONGEST TASTE
LOUDEST DROP
HEAD IS FILLED
UNLOCKED, THE THOUGHT



NOT TOGETHER BUT ALONE
AS THE NEED FOR IT HAS GROWN

A CAVE OR A SHED
A CAR OR A BED
A HOLE IN THE GROUND
OR A BURIAL MOUND
A BUSH OR A TREE
OR THE AEGAN SEA WILL DO FOR ME

AND FOR YOU I FOUND A VENT
IN THE BOTTOM OF A COALMINE
JUST ENOUGH SPACE FOR YOU HANDS IN THE INSIDE

IF YOU GO
DO LET ME KNOW

A DEN OR A DESSERT
PERHAPS AN INK SQUIRT
A CELLAR, A WISHING WELL, A WAR
OR A GUARANTEE WILL DO FOR ME

AND FOR YOU I FOUND A CELL
ON THE TOP FLOOR OF A PRISON
JUST ENOUGH SPACE FOR YOU TO FIT YOUR FEET IN

IF YOU GO
PLEASE LET ME KNOW

TEXTURE OF MY BLOOD

LOCKED DOOR FORGOTTEN KEY
TONIGHT OPEN UP FOR ME
I AM RETURNING HOME
WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST HOPE

NAKED AND ON MY KNEES
LOOK AS IF YOURE PLEASED TO SEE
ME RETURNING HOME
PASS ME THAT SPARK OF HOPE

LET YOU TASTE THE TEXTURE OF MY BLOOD
LACKING IRON
GATES TO MY HEART

OPENED UP
THE RELIEF
THE TIME HAS COME FOR YOU TO SEE
WHERE IM COMING FROM
WHAT IVE BEEN RUNNING FROM

DO YOU CARE
DO YOU CARE TO SCARE
RAISE YOUR FISTS IN THE AIR
ARE YOU SCARED
ARE YOU SCARED TO SHARE
LET OUR FISTS LEAD US THERE

GAZING THROUGH YOUR EYES
I SAW THEM COMING RIGHT AT YOU

MY SUPERIOR VENA CAVA
INFERIOR TO YOURS

YOUR FLESH AGAINST MINE

I WANT TO BE YOUR LOVER
WIPE YOUR LIPSTICK ACROSS MY MIRROR

YOUR SKIN ACROSS MY SKIN
YOUR HANDS ON MY HIPS
MY NECK ON YOUR LIPS

TO THE BACKBONE

WHERE THE BROKEN GLASS HAS BEEN LYING
NEXT TO MY HEART
WHERE THE BROKEN GLASS HAS BEEN LYING
NEXT TO MY HEART TO MY CONSCIENCE
WHERE THE BROKEN GLASS HAS BEEN LYING
NEXT TO MY HEART TO MY CONSCIENCE TO MY FAITH

YOUR FLESH AGAINST MINE
YOU FLETCH YOUR TEETH
I FLETCH MINE

UP THE STAIRCASE
UP DESPAIR CASE

TAKE CARE DONT HURT YOURSELF
TAKE CARE DONT HURT MYSELF

LEAVE ME BEHIND

BECAUSE I CANT SEE YOU
DOES NOT MEAN THAT I WONT HEAR YOU

BY NIGHT I SIT AND PLAY
SEE BLACK AND WHITE EVERYDAY

WHERE HAS THE GREY GONE
WHERE HAS YOUR HEART GONE
WHERE DID YOUR SOUL GO
WAS I WRONG

GOT LOST IN THE DARK
IT MIGHT BE TIME NOW TO DISEMBARK

I REFUSE TO RECITE
BUT I WILL NOT LEAVE WITHOUT PUTTING UP A FIGHT

WHERE HAS THE LIGHT GONE
WHERE HAS YOUR HEART GONE
WHERE DID YOUR SOUL GO
MUST HAVE BEEN WRONG

TRYING TO FIND A WAY WITHIN MYSELF
ATTEMPTING TO PUT ASIDE WITHOUT A STRANGERS HELP

LESS COMPARISON COULD LEAD YOU FORWARD
LEAVE ME BEHIND

AIMING FOR DESTRUCTION

TREELESS STREETS AND LIFELESS TRESS
AS I THINK OF YOU
AS I THINK OF ME
AND I WONDER HOW DID WE GET HERE
AND I WONDER WHY AM I STELL HERE

TREELESS STREETS AND LIFELESS TRESS
AS SHE THINKS OF YOU
AS SHE THINKS OF ME
AND SHE WONDERS HOW DID THEY GET HERE
AND SHE WONDERS WHY ARE THEY NOT HERE

AND I WONDER HOW DID I GET HERE
I HIDE MY FACE AND WIPE AWAY TEN TEARS
I KEEP ON WALKING DOWN THE TREELESS STREETS
AS IF ON REPEAT
NOT GOING TO ACCEPT DEFEAT
AS I REALISE IT IS ME ON MY OWN AGAIN
I DONT WANT TO WITNESS MY OWN DESCNENT
IM NOT GOING TO BE FUELING MY OWN DESCENT

AS IM WALKING DOWN THOSE TREELESS STREETS
WALK BY OUR EYES DONT MEET
IVE SEEN YOU ONCE AGAIN
MY THOUGHTS ALONE AGAIN
THE DIRECT REFLECTION OF THE TREETS AGAIN

GIVEN THE CHOICE I AM AIMING FOR DESTRUCTION

UNDYING NEED TO SCREAM

DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SAY IT, BUT IT MUST GET OUT
WON'T YOU STICK AROUND, AS I TRY TO THINK OUT LOUD

I KNOW THAT YOU CAN HANDLE THE TRUTH,
INSIDE OF ME IS THE UNDYING NEED TO SCREAM

HAVE TRIED IT WITH LAUGHTER,
WITH ANXIETY,
HAVE TRIED IT WITH YOU,
NOW I MUST SCREAM.

THIS MUST END HERE,
BEFORE I LOSE MY VOICE OVER YOU.

THIS MUST END HERE,
BEFORE I LOSE MYSELF OVER YOU.

TIPTAPPING

TIPTAPPING
I WAS TIPTAPPING
IN THE DARK

TIPTAPPING
I WAS TIPTAPPING
IN THE PARK

THE SOUND OF THE LEAVES
WHEN MY FEET HIT THE GROUND
THE SOUND OF THE LEAVES
WHEN MY FEET BOUNCE AROUND

IN THE DARK IN THE PARK

FROM ONE TO SIXHUNDRED KILOMETERS

THE MOST TENDER THING YOUVE SAID TO ME
IS THAT I SUFFER FROM PARANOIA

SOMETIMES WHEN I WISH TO KILL
I COUNT FROM ONE TO SIXHUNDRED KILOMETERS

YET I FAIL TO FEEL
SAIL TO SEA
FAIL TO BEHAVE RATIONALLY
AND I FAIL TO GRIP
FAIL TO KEEP
FAIL TO THINK ABOUT ME

"IF I WERE ABLE TO HATE
PERHAPS HATRED WOULD BRING ME RELIEF

I OUGHT TO HAVE A STEEL BROW
AND A HEART OF STONE"

YET YOU FAILED TO FEEL
SAILED TO SEA
FAILED TO EMBRACE MY INSECURITIES
AND I FAILED TO GRIP
FAILED TO KEEP
FAILED TO THINK ABOUT ME

AUSGABE II

LISTEN TO THE GIRL
AS SHE TAKES OVER THE WORLD
LISTEN TO HER WORDS
AS SHE CRAVES FOR SOME LOVE

DONT JUST FOLLOW THIS GIRL
AS SHE STEPS INTO THIS WORLD
QUIETLY FOLLOW HER STEPS
AS HER HEART BEGINS TO REST

IM NOT REFLECTING THIS UPON MYSELF
TRYING TO SING ABOUT MYSELF
TRYING TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE IM TRYING TO BE MYSELF

TIRED OF TRYING TO BE ME
OF TRYING TO FIND ME
OF TRYING TO SEE ME

THE ABC IS LACKING THE D
THE D YOU SEE IS JUST ME
LISTEN TO ME

LISTEN TO MY WORDS
AS I STEP INTO THIS WORLD
LISTEN TO MY STEPS
AS MYHEART BEGINS TO REST

DONT JUST TRY TO SEE ME
AS A GIRL TRYING TO BELIEF
IN THE BEAUTY OF THIS WORLD
FIND THE MEANING IN MY WORDS
