100% Everything I do I want to do One 100% Everything I say I stand for one 100% Everything I feel I believe one 100% Even when I lie It is instinct one 100% Perfect woman Always going One stride forward And two falling back Never satisfied And disbelieving one 100% Following ideals Keeping vows one 100% All the things she wants Cause despair one 100% Spending everything Everything one 100% Perfect woman… Fatigued, what a goal of always keeping control, a marionette of her illogical wish of always wanting to be a Perfect woman Always going One stride forward And two falling back

LOVE AND MELODIES My inner melodies awaken love and love rouses my inner melodies on my lips i desire that melting kiss it is you on my lips in every song it is you on my lips in every sound and when the thought of love threatens to fade melodies of love remind and invade on my lips i desire that melting kiss it is you on my lips in every song it is you on my lips in every sound so they’ll always appear hand in hand and cannot be isolated love and melodies melodies and love © Nicole eitner

FORTUNE TANGO I – can’t see a thing only fog, just this fog The sun keeps burning but still it can’t get through Say, how will it be in time after we have sentenced man to fail how will they live in peace? How will they be? It is always time that never learns And never lets you understand This beautiful moment Beauty. Beauty. But how will it be in time Who will understand and make them believe? How will they live in peace? How will they be? It never is you! It never is me! It never is us! Who will carry the blame? Who will carry the shame? Who shall they name? © Nicole Eitner

Where do the clouds go? You used to take my breath away Now I suffocate You used to be so far away Now you crush me Your telescopic fingers frighten me So far so near why are you here?! Where do the clouds go Where do they live? Home of my dream The dream of love Where do the clouds go? Where do they live? They hold my dream My dream I used to fill my days with you and only you tomorrow was a place to go and not something you’d know The essence of our romance was uncertainty between you and me © Nicole Eitner

Mind Theatre 06:09
Mind Theatre Can’t sleep, can’t eat my body playing games what I needed - was you to show me how to be whole-souled Listen to the noise inside my mind listen to the noise that consumes my mind I’m seeking hopelessly the door to let you out You persuade, inculpably my oh so confounded shape Listen to the noise inside my mind listen to the noise that consumes my mind Don’t leave don’t ever leave me out here on my own Can’t sleep, can’t eat heading to the unknown Listen to the noise inside my mind listen to the noise that consumes my mind... It is all in my mind my own mind theatre these doubts and fears and fantasies it is my own mind theatre it’s true, it’s so true, my love for you is my own mind theatre Music/ Lyrics: Nicole Eitner

ENERGY VAMPIRES Who – who are you to judge anybody only – only by the things that you don’t see by the things that you don’t see Can you see me from there?! Can you feel me from there?! Dadarada… You’re waiting For something to happen always waiting for someone to stumble Who – who am I? To have you change your mind A change – a little change Wouldn’t do you any harm Wouldn’t do you any harm Can you hear me from there?! Can you reach me from there?! Dadarada… You’re waiting For something to happen always waiting For someone to stumble You’re waiting for me to forget it Just waiting For something to happen © Nicole eitner

Witness of your life You’re so beautiful Make me see there is a way You’re so beautiful Make my words know what to say Make me go on every day You’re so beautiful Make me know that I am brave Make me sense you miles away Let me be a witness of your life Let me be a witness of your life You are beautiful Make me feel what I should pray La la la la la lala la Let me be a witness of your life Let me be a witness of your life Lalalalalalalala Music/ Lyrics: Nicole Eitner

To Forgotten Places So he took her to the shore of the forgotten river Crimson Blood out flowing from the holes in her heart From her eyes and soul leaving bare footprints of forgotten love behind in time  Save me Oh winded wind and water Save me From these uneasy waters Save me, she thought, Not looking up  He sat her cautiously in the boat waiting by the shore, wrapped their spilled togetherness in a little cloth. A harsh wind blew this helpless act into overtones And, without anything to hold on to The boat set its way through the forgotten river  Save me Oh winded wind and water Save me Until the current becomes too intense Save me, she said. You forgot to hold the lead,  She is drifting in the boat through blue rivers towards forgotten places. Towards kindness and understanding Towards respectful conversation Towards civilized behaviour Towards togetherness  Save me In these troubled waters Save me I will be gone forever Save me, she whispered Not looking back Music/Lyrics: Nicole Eitner

Dinner 41 05:03
DINNER 41 Dinner is served Dinner at home Dinner for one My face in my glass of red wine keeps staring at me continuously Yes, I’m feeling just fine. Am I feeling fine? Is this my place with my name on it? is this my place? I tried to change my seat move it into a different light, a different sight my lifestyle, through alternative eyes So then I assume and I behave with every single little bite like if someone were here tonight oh if only someone were here tonight Is this my place with my name on it Is this my place? My home my self made home home Dinner for one Dinner for one © Nicole eitner

The Yellow Fake Brigade Don’t let them bring you down Don’t let them fake your way Don’t let them interfere in your lifetime Your accuracy is a gift, is a weapon against the yellow fake brigade have a tea in a pliant hour and smile The little things Will always be those that hold the difference The big things just happen anyway while you smile Good friends for only good times rely on your gentle tolerance ability They are as numb as possible in need The little things Will always be those that hold the difference The big things just happen anyway while you smile Try to say it with other words the same will not feel exactly as it was that’s why the yellow fake brigade has a name that’s why the yellow fake brigade has a name that’s why the yellow fake brigade has a name Music/ Lyrics: Nicole Eitner
