You´re hiding in plain sight
You swallow all the light
You make me terrified
´Cause you kill me with your smile
Yeah you´re just a matter of imagination
Source of all the bad frustration
And I´m done
Yeah I´m done why don´t you leave?
Why don´t you leave to another place
Just disappear without a trace
And make me forget who you are
It just don´t seem alright
That you´re eating me alive
You´re full of shit and lies
And you´re scratching on my pride
Yeah you´re just a matter of imagination
Source of all the bad frustration
And I´m done
Yeah I´m done why don´t you leave?
Why don´t you leave to another place
Just disappear without a trace
And make me forget who you are
Why don´t you leave me?
Why don´t you disappear somehow?
You´re hiding in plain sight
You swallow all the light
You make me terrified
´Cause you kill me with your smile
Yeah you´re just a matter of imagination
Source of all the bad frustration
And I´m done
Yeah I´m done why don´t you leave?
Why don´t you leave to another place
Just disappear without a trace
And make me forget who you are
And nothing´s ever been the way it used to be before (3x)
Nothing´s ever been the way it used to be

Hello Stranger
I don´t know you anymore
´Cause it´s been way too fucking long
since you got washed up from the shore
And I am here
Contemplating everything we ever had
Every song we ever sang
And every word we ever said
And it´s a shame
Oh what a shame
I´m not the only one to blame
For this breakup
For this sacrifice of tears
Hello Stranger
I don´t know you anymore
But I know it´s kind of sad
That we continue to ignore
And yes I went
And I deleted every photo that we took
I will miss your pretty smile
And your morning after look
And it´s a shame
Oh what a shame
You´re not the only one to blame
For this breakup
For this sacrifice of tears
Repeat
Hello Stranger
I don´t know you anymore
´Cause it´s been way too fucking long
since you got washed up from the shore
And I´m still here
Contemplating everything we ever had
Every song we ever sang
And every word we ever said

Don´t you walk away
Don´t you walk away from me now
Tell me somehow
My head is still,above the water
And the ship I´m in has not been sinking
As my mirror has been shattered
I am trying to carve a smile with pieces of the broken glass
And I´ve never felt much better
Except that was sarcasm and I actually feel pretty fucking low
Don´t you walk away
Don´t you walk away from me now
Tell me somehow
I am not completely crazy
And there is still hope in the near future
As my mirror has been shattered
I am trying to carve a smile with pieces of the broken glass
And I´ve never felt much better
Except that was sarcasm and I think my head will probably explode
It probably will
Probably will (2x)
So don´t you walk away
Don´t you walk away from me now
Tell me somehow
My head is still above the water
And the ship I´m in has not hit the ground yet

Too Drunk To Care

"I don´t love you anymore"
That´s what she said on the phone
I was shaken up in Dublin
And ever since I feel alone
Now everytime I leave my house
I hear a voice inside my head
"Why don´t you just stay inside tonight, yeah
Just get some booze and go to bed!"
And yes I do appreciate
the kind words of my friends
But I don´t really need your sympathy
I know that things will become better
But right now only alcohol´s the key
Life is tough
And yeah it´s so unfair
But I don´t give a fuck
´Cause I´m too drunk to care
I´ll have another drink
Sit in my comfy chair
You say it´s a waste of time
But I´m too drunk to care
Oh baby, I´m too drunk to care...
You don´t love me anymore (you don´t love me anymore)
I´m pretty sure I got the message
I flew back home with a cold
Tryin´to make sense of this wreckage
Say am I really in denial
Or were we doomed from the beginning?
Our love was such a fucked up game
In the end - there were no players winning

Redheads Can Be Cool

How many burgers can one person eat
until a human heart explodes?
And how much pizza can fit in a throat
until a twenty -something chokes?
See I´m not your parents so I cannot force you
To do aything with your life
But if you change your lifestyle and start eating healthy
You´re gonna live past 35
And I know that I´m lazy
I know I´m not disciplined too
But here´s my suggestion:
Let´s try it together me and you
I´d say ten miles on a treadmill and not so much fast food
At least we could give it a try
Because dude, I´m serious
I don´t want you to die
How many meatballs can one person eat
until a stomach just collases?
And how much liquor
can one guy drink before it fucks with all his synapses?
Hey asshole wake up
You´re my fovorite redhead
I can´t let you go
right now, right now
And I know that I´m lazy
I know I´m not disciplined too
But here´s my suggestion:
Let´s try it together me and you
I´d say ten miles on a treadmill and not so much fast food
At least we could give it a try
Because dude, I´m serious
I don´t want you to die
Hey man
Do you ever wake up
And take a look in the mirror
Can you tell me what you see
Are you really happy with what you see? (2x)
And I know that I´m lazy
I know I´m not disciplined too
But here´s my suggestion:
Let´s try it together me and you
I´d say ten miles on a treadmill and not so much fast food
At least we could give it a try
Because dude, I´m serious
I don´t want you to die

Early Retirement Saarbrücken, Germany
"Early Retirement" was started in 2019 as an acoustic soloproject by musician and songwriter Sebastian Bungert in Saarbrücken, Germany. Since then, the project has taken on more of a 2000s throwback- vibe, being heavily inspired by the Pop Punk/Alternative Rock/ Emo sound of that era. ... more
