Hang Time

(Colin Burgess)

A darker view of what it's like to be clinically depressed and truly suicidal.

High tides come to life
Closed eyes, open wide
Stray souls test their might
Waiting on the moment of truth

Bold minds left so unkind
Burned life sold out to crime
No end
No sign of light
Finding the thrill of the clinical noose

Now you're all alone
Grasping for less to hold
Hanging on the edge 
Counting down the moments of the hang time

Reflections turn back the stride 
Wicked hearts come out at night
Innocent yet never right
Watch out 
They'll be looking for you

Now you're all alone
Grasping for less to hold
Hanging on the edge 
Counting down the moments of the hang time
Now you're all the clone
Dragging on the stones 
Hanging on the edge
Counting down the moments of the hang time

Can do no right
Steady hands of mine 
Clawing at the edge
No more hang time
No more hang time
No more hang time

Now you're all alone
Grasping for less to hold
Hanging on the edge 
Counting down the moments of the hang time
Now you're all the clone
Dragging on the stones 
Hanging on the edge
Counting down the moments of the hang time

Die Nacht ist zum Schlafen

By Silvan Wibeau

Geht darum, sich nicht in sich selbst zurückzuziehen, darum Dinge nicht abzutun und sie aufzugeben, nur weil sie dir in einem Moment sehr fern sind, darum nicht alles zu dramatisieren, sondern abzuwarten und zu merken dass alles wieder okay kommt undsoundso und so .. hab ich mir beim Schreiben sehr langsam und walzerig vorgestellt aber dunno..

For you, I would do anything

By Lauren Wilson

When I wrote this song I imagined a mother explaining the world to her child. My mother always told me to "just stay little." This song talks about how a mom would paint the whole world perfect for her child, but she knows that she can't do that forever. The mother is realizing that her child is of her, but does not belong to her forever. This song tells the story that so many mothers feel everyday
