   Lyrics

   Sorry little teaser for damaging your baby doll
   I don’t remember ever been so cruel
   Sorry little sugar bowl for embarrassing your dynasty
   I can’t remember ever felt so cool

   Sorry little teaser
   Sorry little teasa lizard
   Sorry little teaser
   Sorry little teasa wizard

   Deny – say didn’t I, didn’t I try hard to stop that story to get along with you?
   Didn’t I, didn’t I try, didn’t I try to keep up the glory to get around the truth?

   Sorry little teaser to repossess your favorite toy
   Can’t remember ever felt so cool
   Sorry little sugar bowl for shaving all your barbie dolls
   I don’t remember ever been so cruel

   Did I, or didn’t I try, say didn’t I try to make it happen to get along with you?
   Deny, say didn’t I try, didn’t I try hard to keep it simple to get around the truth?

   Sorry little teaser
   Sorry little tisa lizard
   Sorry little teaser
   Sorry little teasa wizard

   Deny – say didn’t I, didn’t I try hard to stop that story to get along with you?
   Didn’t I, or didn’t I try, didn’t I try hard to persuade you to get around the truth?

   Sorry little teaser for damaging your baby doll
   I don’t know how I could have act so cruel
   Sorry little sugar bowl for embarrassing your dynasty
   I can’t remember ever been so cool

   Did I, or didn’t I try, say didn’t I try to make it happen to get along with you?
   Didn’t I, didn’t I try, didn’t I try to keep up the glory to get around the truth?

   Sorry little teaser
   Sorry little tisa lizard
   Sorry little teaser
   Sorry little teasa wizard

   Deny – say didn’t I, didn’t I try hard to stop that story to get along with you?

3. Trident 5:38 (Music & words: Hattler)
   
   Lyrics

   Can’t go wrong – if there’s a sign beyond the dawn
   A day’s too long – if there’s no sleep since you’ve been gone
   One night away – no hideaways
   Now all I want – is getting away from where I am

   Are we silly? are we awesome? are we frightened?
   The next big sign we’re told to long for: the mighty trident

   Define “so long” – don’t want no one to hear me sigh
   Feels so wrong not to believe that I’ll survive
   Miss our hangs – when we went mad to go too far
   Now all I want: is getting away from where we are

   Are we silly? are we awesome? are we frightened?
   Are we in what we’ve been out to – worship tridents?

   Say: don’t you wanna save me, mighty trident, say?
   Or are you out to save tobago?
   Don’t you wanna save me, silent trident, say?
   If you don’t I’ll die, but later – a lil later

   Can’t go wrong – while waiting for signs beyond the dawn
   Define “so long” – couldn’t find sleep since you’ve been gone
   Won’t take long …

   Seems so long – that we went mad to go too far
   Now all I want: is getting away from where we are (now)

   Are we silly? are we awesome? are we frightened?
   Now it’s in what I’ve been out for – the mighty trident
   Are we silly? are we awesome? are we frightened?
   We keep on dancing to the wrong songs – to please a trident

   Feels so wrong – silent trident
   Way too long – you called me frightened

   Feels so wrong … feels so wrong …

   Are we silly? are we awesome? are we frightened?
   Call it climbing up the wrong walls – to serve a trident

   Feel so wrong – mighty trident
   Way too long – you saw me frightened

   Are we silly? are we awesome? are we frightened?
   It’s all erased what I should know to – defeat the trident

4. Threshold 6:24 (Music & words: Hattler)
   
   Lyrics

   Wrapped my dreams ’round a flagpole
   Described my soul as a tadpole, dead bowl
   Expelling you is killing me
   Irretrievably cut from harmony

   It’s taking my soul to the threshold
   Light disappears in a black hole
   Love’s the milk to the coffee
   Spread or spilled, a broken cup‘s empty

   Find myself at a threshold
   Do boombays die when they’re getting old, finding gold?
   Something keeps telling me
   No side of me is any better than a hole in a blindfold

   Distract myself at the threshold
   Hear these words as an echo (echo)
   Seesaw inside of me in nomine nothing
   Is leading me back to where the sad things are

   Wrapped your soul ’round a sad pole
   Describe the world being a wet mole, tadpole
   Did anybody count on me
   Did ever anybody say how it’s gonna be?

   Find myself at the threshold
   Pop disappeared in a jazzhole
   I understand how to cool the rules down
   To make the whole cake gonna cool down

   Fight my tears at the threshold
   Can’t hide your fears with a sad soul, who said so?
   Guilty or not? I mean it’s more than I’ve ever seen
   Free will or not? I mean this ain’t no magazine

   Fighting myself at the threshold
   Means to end up dead in a fashional trash hole
   Guilty or not? I mean – more than that –
   Don’t wanna be another victim of conventions

   Find myself at a threshold
   Do boombays die when they’re getting old, finding gold?
   Something keeps telling me
   No side of me is any better than a hole in a blindfold

   Distract myself at the threshold
   Hear these words as an echo (echo)
   Seesaw inside of me in nomine nothing
   Is leading me back to where the sad things are

5. Home Bass 3:23 (Music: Hattler)
6. Care 2:15 (Music & words: Hattler)
   
   Lyrics

   I don’t know why I feel sad and weak for weeks
   Be sure: it’s only fresh water on my cheeks
   I can explain why I don’t wanna go out or on:
   It’s just because I don’t care that you’ve been gone.

   There’s no reason to hide or dress in black
   Maybe working too much tossed me off the track
   I hear my mother keep asking „is anything wrong?
   Is it because you don’t care that she’s been gone?“

   I don’t know why I feel sad and weak for weeks
   Still dry my towel with water from my cheeks
   I can explain why I don’t wanna go out or on:
   It’s just because I don’t care that you’ve been gone.

   I know I’m looking like hell and smell like ham
   It takes more to get stuck than a traffic jam
   I hear my mother keep saying „you can’t go wrong
   If it’s because you don’t care that she’s been gone!“

7. Velocity 6:31 (Music: Hattler/Musebrink, Words: Hattler)
   
   Lyrics

   Building mills under water
   Barking up every tree
   Noise of nothing surrounds us
   Purporting constant velocity

   Nothing brighter than twilight
   Nothing bigger than fame
   Nothing’s darker than limelight
   We aren’t pretty much the same

   Feeling wider than water
   Miles away from the sea
   Passing mountains below us
   Bye bye constant velocity

   Nothing brighter than limelight
   Nothing bigger than fame
   Nothing’s darker than twilight
   We’re nothing less than much the same

   Nothing brighter than twilight
   Nothing bigger than fame
   Nothing’s darker than limelight
   We aren’t pretty much the same

8. Lieblingslied 5:06 (Music: Hattler)
9. Mayday In Paradise 5:17 (Music & words: Hattler)
   
   Lyrics

   I’ve heard enough to know that something is off the mark
   I’m hurt enough to quit this shootout in the dark

   Close my eyes – to find my view
   Hide my hands – can’t count on you
   Plug my ears – to hear my words
   “Mayday in paradise”

   I’ve seen enough to spot reversals of the signs
   Silence meant consent – just to lay it on the line

   Turn my head – to save myself
   Raise my hands – to break the shelf
   Hide my face – to face my thoughts
   Mayday in paradise

   All mine, all mighty – we’re taught to come along
   So tight, so tidy – this is how we act
   All mine, all mighty – this is how we walk through paradise

   I’ve heard enough to know that things went out of tune
   We knew we won’t succeed but now is way too soon

   Turn my head – to save my skin
   Spread my arms – to stop the spin
   Hide my face – to face my thoughts
   Mayday in paradise

   All mine, all mighty – we’re taught to come along
   So tight, so tidy – this is how we act
   All mine, all mighty – this is how we walk through paradise

   I’ve seen enough to spot reversals of the signs
   I’ve seen enough to know who shot me on the line

   Turn my head – to save my brain
   Bite my tongue – to ease the pain
   Hide my face – to face my thoughts
   Mayday in paradise

   No tie, no tidy – what an ill state of mind
   All mine, all mighty – we’re trying to come along
   Cool, tight and tidy – this is how we act in paradise

   All mine, all mighty – we’re taught to come along
   So tight, so tidy – this is how we act
   All mine, all mighty – this is how we walk through paradise
