BERLINO

You took off, looked like you were running away
Maybe it's my fault for not understanding
You're the snow I write about, you're like Hedwig
And even though I don't say it, you don't seem happy

A music box will play for all those nights when
In a street I don't know, you'll pass through the darkness
Take away every conviction, I'm like nettles
If you want a direction, I'll leave the breadcrumbs

It will pass
The gray over Berlin will fade away
Like the mask you wear
When it's early and you're rushing through the city
You're quick because you walk like Dad
And we're similar, but there you break free
And you don't hold back anymore

In being distant, we're the CEOs
Piling up thoughts is an avalanche on a slope
For us, a bang always starts from a rustle
The slamming of doors that starts from a creak
We're dry before a river in flood
We drown in silence to avoid causing pity
Being all together is just a show, anger poisons us
Ask yourself if it's worth it

A music box will play on certain clear nights
And I'll break it when it can't tell you that
There's no reason to always be tough
It won't bring light to a dark forest

It will pass
The gray over Berlin will fade away
Like the mask you wear
When it's early and you're rushing through the city
You're quick because you walk like Dad
And we're similar, but there you break free
And you don't hold back anymore

Sometimes, I know, you feel like you don't understand
You left as if you were punishing
Those who never believed, but you're wrong about this
Just ask for help and we'll pack our bags

It will pass
The gray over Berlin will fade away
Like the mask you wear
When it's early and you're rushing through the city
You're quick because you walk like Dad
And we're similar, but there you break free
And you don't hold back anymore

That, no matter how much I don't want it, even the rain in Berlin will pass
I've imagined you a million times in the morning
When it's early and you're rushing through the city
You're quick because you walk like Dad
And we're similar, but there you break free
And you don't hold back anymore
