I don’t believe in you

words & music: Daniel Balthasar

Get up and do something
it could be anything, you know
what are you waiting for

Get up and get going
you have been resting for too long
what could go wrong

I don’t believe in you, I know for sure
I’m so sorry that you don’t seem to know anymore
I don’t believe in you, I know for sure

Head out and start walking
you could arrive somewhere, you know
what are you hoping for

Open up and start talking
there might be some one who’d like to know
what you have to show

I don’t believe in you, I know for sure
I’m so sorry that you don’t seem to know anymore
I don’t believe in you, I know for sure

If you believe in me, you can be sure
that I will help you where I can no matter what it’s for
If you believe in me, you can be sure

If you believe in me, you can be sure
that you can ask what ever you want and come back for more
If you believe in me, you can be sure

The same

words & music: Daniel Balthasar

It's not that I'm different
but I refuse to be the same

You have found your place
and you know where you belong
nothing's wrong
with that

You came to a place
where it seems everything's done
that is where
you are wrong

I know there is room for more to come
there's ink in your pen for one more song

It's not that I'm different
but I refuse to be the same
It's not that I'm lonely
but I'm the only player in this game

I have found my place
where I know that I belong
now I want to go on

I just need to live a little more
to find out what's behind this door

It's not that I'm different
but I refuse to be the same
It's not that I'm lonely
but I'm the only player in this game

Good enough

words & music: Daniel Balthasar

You look a bit lost and I don't know just what to do
I'm searching for words but they don't come like I want to

If you could feel it
If you could here it
If you could see just what I do

It is good for me
not enough for you
but it is good for me
you disagree

and if it's good for me
it should be good enough for you too
but it is good for me
you disagree

You look a bit down but tell me how to pick you up
Just say a word if it's not my business, just say stop

If you could feel it
If you could here it
If you could see just what I do

It is good for me
not enough for you
but it is good for me
you disagree

and if it's good for me
it should be good enough for you too
but it is good for me
you disagree

All my words could not explain
what I feel inside my brain
they go lost once in a while, don’t mind
when you feel you’re running blind
when you’re down and almost dying
I will pick you up in time

Something Worth

words & music: Daniel Balthasar

Wandering around in the middle of the night
a nightingale with no wings and with no sight
morning comes and the world is full of sound
nowhere to go, I am nowhere bound

you’re not here, you’re not with me
it’s for the best, please believe me

Let’s not waste all our memories
Let us keep them this way
we would still talk if we still had something worth to say

Let’s not waste all our memories
Let us keep them this way
we would still talk if we still had something worth to say

Morning comes like an echo of the night
all our flaws are exposed to a bright light
I prefer us to mingle in the dark
during night you can’t see a broken heart

Let’s not waste all our memories
Let us keep them this way
we would still talk if we still had something worth to say

Let’s not waste all our memories
Let us keep them this way
we would still talk if we still had something worth to say

we aren’t dead, we are living
among the sad, the unforgiven

Let’s not waste all our memories
Let us keep them this way
we would still talk if we still had something worth to say

Let’s not waste all our memories
Let us keep them this way
we would still talk if we still had something worth to say

Lighthouse

words & music: Daniel Balthasar

You are very close
I can almost see you

You are very close
I can almost feel you

I don't know why, I don't know how
to go on

I consider you as being my lighthouse
that can guide me like nobody can
with an ease you can send me through darkness
till I see somewhere light at the end

You seem very far
I can't barely feel you
clouds are closing in
I can't barely see you

I don't know why, I don't know where
to lean on
I don't know how, I don't know why
to go on

I consider you as being my lighthouse
that can guide me like nobody can
with an ease you can send me through darkness
till I see somewhere light at the end

I consider you as being my haven
where I'm patching the holes in my sails
where I sit out the severest weather
until you are calming the waves

17.03.15

Come what may

words & music: Daniel Balthasar

You wander on
through the complete unknown
and every day
painted in a different tone

and no matter what you'll find
in the country of the blind
you can be sure I'm close behind

Come what may
I will love you anyway

We're moving on
we will walk just as long
our feet keep up
what will happen when we stop?

we will find out you and me
and the last thing that I'll see
is your face looking back at me

Come what may
I will love you anyway

Bathing in the sun

words & music: Daniel Balthasar

You're constantly bored and
you don't know where to turn
all bottles are empty
and all candles have been burned
you're blinded by daylight
and you're scared by night 'cause
all that you've ever known

Bathing in the sun
wondering if there's anyone
lonely and faded to grey

you're waiting for meaning to fill up your days
waiting for wisdom to shout in your face
Bathing in the sun

You're constantly smiling
but you cannot feel a thing
You're shaking my hand but
you just can't recall my name
there are so many people
but they all just look the same

Bathing in the sun
wondering if there's anyone
lonely and faded to grey

you're waiting for meaning to fill up your days
waiting for wisdom to slap in your face
Bathing in the sun

Obsolete

words & music: Daniel Balthasar

We were running
following the sun
until it went down

we went further
than anyone before
opened every door

I don’t want to escape I want to stay
and make a little difference
I don’t want to remain on the same way
maybe you feel different

Anyway I heard somebody say the word is out on the street
Hard to say when it was that we lost it and became obsolete

We were running
it never came to mind
to see what lies behind

we went further
and every opened door
would lead us to one more

I don’t want to escape I want to stray
and rattle on the structure
I don’t want to remain in the same frame
I want to change the picture

Anyway I heard somebody say the word is out on the street
Hard to say when it was that we lost it and became obsolete
And became obsolete

Long gone - not happened yet

words & music: Daniel Balthasar

The past has gone
I'm not even sure if I recall
how it was or am I really only making it up?
It was so clear every year
but now they only adding up

I'm trapped between the long gone and the not happened yet

The past has gone
you say you know it but you try to hold on
and as you know I'm not very good in letting go
I held so dear every year,
I don't know why I'm doing that for

I'm trapped between the long gone and the not happened yet

Days come and go, I don't know how many more
am I the same I was before?
I'm not myself, I don't know anymore

I'm trapped between the long gone and the not happened yet

and you are moving on while I'm playing dead

I'm trapped between the long gone and the not happened yet

Here

words & music: Daniel Balthasar

Monday morning 6am
I can't remember where I've been
the last 3 days erased from my mind

I recall that you were there too
where ever there was
and I don't even know who are you
but I know we both lost 

And while I'm here you wish that
I would stay where I was
And when I leave you wish I'd
stay forever

While I was here you wished that
I would leave you alone
but deep inside you thought
we'd leave together

Monday evening, all is gone
just an echo on an empty wall
an abandoned phone waiting for one final call

I'm starting to wonder if I dreamt it
if I was awake
I'm beginning to realize that
leaving was a big mistake

22.&23.07.13

When to Stop

words & music: Daniel Balthasar

I don’t know where to begin
maybe that I should stop right away

I know that you mean it well
I make my own decisions as far as I can tell

I know the sound it makes when your head hits the wall
I know it hurts the knees when you stumble and you fall

I’m used to lifting weights,
I know when to let drop
It’s me who started this,
don’t tell me when to stop
