Berlin

The city hums in borrowed shoese G
No one stays, and no one leavesD C
No return, just second startse G
Eyes that flicker, doors that closeD C
There's always someone just arrivede G
Or packing up before their duesD C
Die Stadt keeps half a breath againe G
Not for love, but just in caseD C
Ch:
No one stays — not reallyC G
They just leave so cleanlyD C
This city feeds on nearlyC G
And love that folds without a gaspD C
Du warst nah, or close enoughC G
Die Stadt makes absence look like loveD C
You left a charger, not a notee G
I watched the silence take your shapeD C
This city teaches how to floate G
Above the ache, below escapeD C
Some places ask you to belonge G
This one lets you drift insteadD C
I whispered something once in songe G
It came back faint, ein Schlag zu SpätD C
Ch:
Niemand bleibt - nicht wirlichC G
Just a trace, an unread textD C
This city lives so sparsamC G
It will not see those who fadeD C
You were close, or close enoughC G
Die Stadt makes absence look like loveD C
B:
There's no arrival, just a drifta G
A thousand hearts without a liftD C
Elsewhere softens when you staya G
This one clears the space awayB7 B7
Ch:
Second train, second glanceC G
I stayed too long to call it danceD C
Next best thing that never cameC G
Die Stadt forgets without a nameD B7
Smoke and echoes, none to blameC G
I miss you like I missed my nameD B7
Outro
There's a whisper I never hearde C
A light I never seenG D
You might be there — or niemand knewC G
In here, it all feels the samee B7

Breath and Hold

Breath and hold, I am of stoned Bb
On night of lights, on night of joyF C
The path is lone.
Breath and hold. Put strings on fate
For one more night, on hope alone.
The home is gone.
Hold the breath. Wait just more.
Another day, another week, on and on
On thin hope.
Hold the breath. Hold the tears.
Maybe there's some joy. In the wait
For another day alone
Hold and hold
Strung between hope and same old
The path goes on
Maybe there's joy.
Or not.
In waiting. Alone.

Ashlight

No one comes.Am
I still stay.Em
Voice is dust.F
Lights turn grey.Am
Hands held out.Am
All awayEm
Named myself.F
Lost the way.C
Eyes don't meet.Am
No one cares.F
I dissolveC
in heavy air.Em
Heart beats low.Em
Breath grows slow.F
I don't break —C
I just fade.Am
Cold replies.F
Worn-out skin.G
Nothing stirsC
and nothing's in.Am
