Someday
"Someday you have to show me
Your beautiful place"
There is no "someday" anymore,

Behave more like in the pre war,
Greeting Weimar,
100 years ...

Hang me from your promises
As I choke on your words.
You said you want me forever
But you cut my heart in thirds.
Where the fuck were you
When I needed you the most?
My world was crashing down
You turned into a ghost.
You left me all alone
And I've been lost he...
