Hide the clouds above my head and hide the sun above yours, too hide behind the things you fight and give your hand to who knows who I have heard what you just said and I feel about the same At some point this will be too much Even if we just play a game When you scream I will run and try to catch ya you fight I'll fight along and give no quarter I'll keep my head above the slaughter come and make me wait through the water Take your time to explain And give me time to thrive Cry me a river or a lake an ocean for your thoughts to dive I had different plans for you, for everything I see I still drag you if you need even if it’s bad for me When you scream I will run and try to catch ya you fight I'll fight along and give no quarter I'll keep my head above the slaughter come and make me wait through the water Now I reach out with my hand for someone else I keep my shelter just for someone else I'm only holding out my hand to someone else When you scream I will run and try to catch ya you fight I'll fight along and give no quarter I'll keep my head above the slaughter come and make me wait through the water

You are boring, you should be more like me If you're funny, it will be fun to be around you and people won't be mad to be around somebody who makes them sad You are friendly, you should be more like me If you're evil, it will be fun to be Everything everyone hates and you'll get everything that you want and you'll be set

I don't get silence though silence is all I want A moment of reason to fight at another front If you want to tell me You better tell me quick I don't have much time now It's nothing, I'm just sick Hold these thoughts for me just a minute while I break I will come back to them for my own mind's sake keep them away from me while I sort myself out No one can take all that from every shout Do you mind my mind? For me it's just too much It never stops talking Say I'm in a clutch The voices keep coming more then one can hear noises of nonsence filling me with fear Hold these thoughts for me just a minute while I break I will come back to them for my own mind's sake keep them away from me while I sort myself out No one can take all that from every shout

Push him over the edge and far away from where your mind has been Over and over again where he does not belong and never shall be seen Another one like him will come and claim this space exclusive for nobody He will try to grab every ledge So you know push him over the edge Push him into the void out of your life and all that he brought with him Everything you can destroy don't mind to lose anyway chances are slim You'll need anything he gave and all that you need you got yourselves anyway He's still there don't try to avoid

If I were stuck in a beautiful dream Just my thoughts and me What would happen to me if it was real What would I get to see Just my thoughts and me If I would live in this beautiful dream Just my thoughts and me What would make it true and what unreal What would I like to see Just my thoughts and me Every thought I got inside of it every thought I hold of when we split every minute I will dream plain white but in this case it might be too bright If I would go through this beautiful dream and knew where this came from Maybe I would go through it a second time And change what I'd become If I knew where this came from If I met you in this beautiful dream and knew it won't be you I could try to change every word from me and change your point of view If I knew this won't be you Every thought I got inside of it every thought I hold of when we split every minute I will dream plain white but in this case it might be too bright I'm not sure if I understand what I think My mind is playing tricks, pushes me towards the brink I don't know if I mind, seeing a shadow of my past If I died now in this beautiful dream I guess I would feel free Trying to wake from this horrible mess and maybe you would agree I don't want to know what I would got to know and maybe I would be the last And I wouldnt change neither me nor the past

You keep quiet, we keep quiet and when you talk, we like to join When we clash you get mad and when you're mad it get's bad cause you got power, and you know and you deny it, what's the status quo? We're standing all against the wall no one's getting out of here neither dead nor alive we're a grand statement of fear we lived our words and claimed our faults we have nothing left to lose if you want to take our lives go ahead, we were amused We're standing all against the wall no one's getting out of here neither dead nor alive we're a grand statement of fear we lived our words and claimed our faults and fought the hatred that you spew if you want to take our lives we'll take your dignity too We're standing all against the wall no one's getting out of here neither dead nor alive we're a grand statement of fear we lived our words and claimed our faults and fought the hatred that you spew and if you care just remember you're standing with us really soon

what can we say about today? the same we could say about tomorrow this is life showing us the way and teaching to deal with vertigo But sadness comes through closing doors the doors we closed ourselves before and after the last light got shut away into the night away we pray And nothing is ever as it should be nothing will be what it could be Again we wash away the salt the sand shall wash away our guilt and while we take our bath in shame the shame will cause our souls to tilt As we display our weakened minds mothers and fathers come for trial to see our loss with every worth when they would much prefer denial But sadness comes through closing doors the doors we closed ourselves before and when the last light's about to die into the night away we cry And nothing is ever as it should be nothing will be what it could be

Everyone 05:53
Everyone around me's telling jokes Everyone around me always knows everything and everyone around and everything around me is making every sound Uhhhhhhh Uhhhhhhh Uhhhhhh (x2) Everyone around me's telling lies and everyone around me justifies everything they do with greater good that comes for everyone, if someone would Do the things they that they would do if anybody told them to anybody but themselves 'cause they themselves don't have a clue how to go about anything and nothing really cares for them as there is nothing they could care for too cause finding something different is actually pretty difficult and sometimes someone doesn't get quite through Everyone around me could be replaced just take another one, copy and paste And everyone that covers everything is our new god, coming down on wings Uhhhhhhh Uhhhhhhh Uhhhhhh (x2) Everybody's day's are getting late They stop, even the good and the great And everyone that died here without fame is now another monument of shame cause if they did the things they that they could do if anybody told them to anybody but themselves 'cause they themselves don't have a clue how to go about anything and nothing really cares for them as there is nothing they could care for too cause finding something different is actually pretty difficult and sometimes someone doesn't get quite through Now everybody's laying down to sleep a sleep for thousand hours on repeat and some day when nobody's watching They would wake, wouldn't that be sweet

Amazing anyone could make it this far without losing some mind I guess nobody would go this way without being that kind with all the things we do and don't and say we never do whatever comes along right now we could handle too But even this we means not more than me and I will never be what I would be Whatever I say I'm sure you'll find your way. The mirror in the sky makes sure you'll reply keep looking for the words even if you miss every clue I'm wishing you the best whatever that might mean to you My thoughts won't let me catch my breath as if I'm on the run my head feels like in space right now rushing around the sun it might be because my sleeps to light but at least I sleep at all I won't be losing time for something that just made me feel small But even this we means not more than me and I will never be what I would be Whatever I say I'm sure you'll find your way. The mirror in the sky makes sure you'll reply keep looking for the words even if you miss every clue I'm wishing you the best whatever that might mean to you A rainbow where only rain is left colors in grey and grey and even if you bring it back not matter what you might say you black and white has way more color than I will ever see it's difficult to teach to tricks especially to me But even this we means not more than me and I will never be what I would be Whatever I say I'm sure you'll find your way. The mirror in the sky makes sure you'll reply keep looking for the words even if you miss every clue I'm wishing you the best whatever that might mean to you

about

After releasing three albums of questionable quality, the last one in 2016, I decided to take a little break, at least for a year. Having released one album every year since 2014 left me drained and exhausted.
The break certainly helped, and after a year of no new songs, no new music and just a lot of playing guitar, I returned to write another set of songs, started recording early 2018 and now we‘re here, I guess. My all new album „The Moon is a Terrible Girlfriend“ or „TMIATG“ if you‘re one of those cool kids who like to use rad abbreviations is here and it‘s the best thing I made so far. Even if my voice still sound like… well, you know what, the melodies, the guitar work, the compositions and the arrangements are all things I am really proud of. It‘s not only my best work so far, but also my most rounded, containing just enough harmonic weirdness, never clashing with the melodic parts. In terms of theme… Well, this album really doesn‘t have one theme, but if you insist on me giving it a label: It‘s an album about ambivalence and uncertainty, not knowing what to do, where to go, what will happen next or even what should happen next. With other words: If you don‘t know what to do, you should probably listen to this album and find comfort in the fact that I too do not know what to do and this album isn‘t really helping you, but at least it‘s nice to listen to.
Thanks to everybody who made this possible and thanks to you for reading this and listening to my music.

about

Kenneth-Marten Lück Bramsche, Germany

The germany-based singer/songwriter has been writing songs since 2011, with musical influences ranging from Tom Petty to Suzanne Vega. His unusual lyricism tries to capture feelings and situations from a different, more lyrical angle. Combined with a very classic rock- and acoustic-based songwriting, he straddles the line between old-school in his music and modern in his lyrics. ... more
