Carl was a bit incautious
Now he owns a car
Doesn't know what happened there
The road has a million fingers
Spread across the world
But there are no parking spots at all
You are on a liberating quest
You will not be pinned down like the rest
You don't weigh as much as you once did
The wind leads anywhere but
Home is a pile of problems
That require help
There's a leaking teapot
On a wonky shelf
And you pay for wi-fi
And you pay for gas
They are having fun amongst themselves
Are you on the run from those four walls
Do you think they'll eat you in your sleep
Who is gonna catch you when you
Falsify your motivations, Carl

Cindy, I am so relieved
I did not believe you would find a purpose
Cindy, when we lay till noon
In your student room with its lack of curtains
Had some catching up to do
It was all on you, I was non-existent
Something I could cry about
Had it not turned out that you're self-sufficient
Enough for that
I should be glad
That I was not
Your only friend
'cause look at all the friends you've made
Had to leave the shade and invite myself in
No one seems to like my jokes
They just smile at most, think it's hardly helping
Cindy, you're a glaring sun
In comparison I'm a dusty hermit
I wish I could be proud of you
But I didn't do quite enough to earn it
Too late for that
I should be glad
That I was not
Your only friend
But if that's true
Why is it then
That I can't help
But envy them
And I don't even know what you are like, Cindy
And I don't even know if I would like to see
And I don't even know what you are like, Cindy
And I don't even know if I would like to see

Monday Morning

Monday morning, I'm not sure if this is real, if this is real
There's a chance the circumstances were ideal, were ideal
Why not hold it off a second
Keep on holding off a second time
Two more days have surely chased the side effects, the side effects
Out of here, but it's unclear what she expects, what she expects
Hold up, don't be too straightforward
Use your thinking to make sure that
There's no way around a second time
Weeks pass by and so does my initiative, initiative
Luckily I suck at being negative, negative
There's a lot to do, I reckoned
She could answer any second
Tell me there'll be plenty of second times

Goals

I hear my alarm
It's odd, but can't remember
Setting it up
I was thinking of someone and here
Features were smooth
Prolonging my youth
Helping me move further away from my goals
I step on my bike
I'm faster than working parents
And tourists alike
They wander without a care
And seem to be fine
With falling behind
I wish I was blind, at least when it came to my goals
Wellness, as well as a nice stash
But mainly the latter
The bigger, the better
All you can gather, it's yours to take
A breakthrough that paves you the way to
Expert conventions
With you in the centre
Of everyone's attention, where you belong
You're catching your breath
Inches away from drowning
A voice in the depth
Is trying to pull you down
If those are your dreams
As dark as it seems
Follow the streams that lead you away from your goals
Fine clothes to wear to those award shows
You're more than welcome
People are seldom
Looking more handsome than you right now
And everybody's saying: oh my
I wish I was this guy
He's practically perfect
If anyone deserves it
He did all the work it takes to win
Now, that's a surprise
How sweet of you to invite me
I'll cancel my plans
'cause you never know what might be
We might have a blast
Stuck in the past
When nobody asked us whether we had any goals

Having Fun

Help me, I am lonely
I don't want you to be gone
And we're having so much fun
Having so much fun
Last time we were here
Do you remember what went on
We were having so much fun
Ever so much fun
Don't get up to get one
I will get you one for free
And don't get up to leave
Just drink one more with me
I promise I'll do better if you wait a couple weeks
And talk about my needs
Let's talk about them please
Let's talk about them please
Talk about them please
I was under the assumption
That the night had just begun
We were having so much fun
Having so much fun
You are not that tired
You're just afraid to see the sun
Now, don't spoil all this fun
We were having so much fun
We'll go home together
Or we won't go home at all
But we'll go home after all
I'm only trying to stall
Steer the conversation
Towards a problem we can't solve
Keeping you involved
Make you think it's possible
Make you think it's possible
Now you think it's possible
Let me walk you to the door at least
Don't care how horribly wrong I'm being
Let me walk you to the door at least
Don't care how horribly wrong I'm being
Let me walk you to the door at least
Don't care how horribly wrong I'm being
Let me walk you to the door at least
Don't care how horribly wrong I'm being
About how you're feeling

Abel Natürlich Amsterdam, Netherlands
Abel is impatient, often values quantity over quality, takes humor seriously and envies artists who have no self-awareness. If this all sounds terribly pretentious to you, wait until you hear his music; some of it is way cooler than you think right now. ... more
