The Captain Reik Diary (LP)

by Fonohead

I'm beaten by wind I'm choking on the rain The storm is burning Like an otherworldly flame I hear the ocean Is madly roaring blames And cruelly lashing me With scalding waves ​ I left without a single word I slipped away so no one heard I never promised you to stay But I'll return to you and steal you from the grey I am off course The map's washed overboard I am bewildered So tired and so cold Although my guiding star Is swallowed by the clouds My hopes are killing Obsessive sticky doubts I left without a single word I slipped away so no one heard I never promised you to stay But I'll return to you and steal you from the grey

Run 05:44
I've overtaken many times before And now I'm knocking on the closing door But I don't know what for I'm not excited anymore I've got my shoulders bruised Fists unclenched I've been knocked out of the range I feel like sitting On a wet paint bench I'm running late I'm running late I'm running late I'm running late I'm sick of seeking for the open door I still remember how it was before But I don't know what for I'm not excited anymore Although the lazies sacked Old tactics changed Plans and figures look so strange I am still running Being totally deranged I'm running late I'm running late I'm running late I'm running late Run tiger run Towards the Sun Right to the place  Where the race began ​ I'm running late I'm running late I'm running late I'm running late

I was crawling out of waves That's how you found me My face was cracked My boat was wrecked You sat me on your horse You took me to your house You laid me by the fire Allowed me to admire you Thank you for your spells Thank you for your stories Thank you for your warming hands Thank you for your dance Is it you I'm looking for? Seems like we've met before Perhaps it was my dream The one I'd never seen Talking night away We gently touched the dawn The Sun is telling me The time has come to leave Thank you for your spells Thank you for your stories Thank you for your warming hands Thank you for your dance Please save your tears For when I'm gone Remember me When dancing on your own

Another Mile 06:25
Two years of sailing My photograph of you is fading It's become a little brittle Raining My eyes are pouring rain To drown the pain Another mile away from you The wind will sing my song to you The waves will bring my gift to you And I will live my thoughts of you Two years of waiting You keep the faith without pretending But you are scared a little Praying You're saying to yourself This hell will end Another mile away from you The wind will sing my song to you The waves will bring my gift to you And I will live my thoughts of you

Mermaid 07:19
I am wrapped  In the velvet  Of your whisper You breathe the words  I dreamt to hear I won't dare  To resist you Please take me with you To the deep  Of your deceit I am lonely like you are Have we gone too far? I am lonely like you are Have we gone, have we gone Too far? I am diluted  With your beauty Quit swimming around Just drag me down Let's get carried away  Let's play your game Swim closer And let me catch  Your wriggling tail I am lonely like you are Have we gone too far? I am lonely like you are Have we gone, have we gone Too far?

Damp and dark forgotten town Covered with a foggy gown Sweetly-rotten smell of fear What the hell am I doing here? Hiding in a broken tree Staring at the boiling sea I see the roaring swirling rise Made of faces with no eyes Hiding, hiding in a tree Fright is crawling over me Can't believe in what I see I see them jump out of the sea Smashing windows, cracking doors Venom claws are scratching floors Seeking children – boys and girls Hide yourself in a box of toys Growling muzzles run for rustle Steady, kids! Don't move a muscle Hold your breath and swallow screams By the door your scary dreams I wish to see them empty handed When this craziness is ended But right now there's more than this Monsters are feeding the abyss Hiding, hiding in a tree Fright is crawling over me Can't believe in what I see I see them jump out of the sea Smashing windows, cracking doors Venom claws are scratching floors Seeking children – boys and girls Hide yourself in a box of toys

I saw the creatures Approaching from all sides With frightening features Kaleidoscopic eyes They yelled surrender Thought I would kneel and cry I didn't take it I saved myself with lies Here they are Stirring flame Kaleidoscoped Gone insane I saw the creatures Dazzled by the lies Don't want their freedom Kaleidoscopic eyes They trade illusions Enrich their vicious souls They scream for revolution We watch their kingdom falls Here they are Stirring flame Kaleidoscoped Gone insane

Remember 07:31
You taught me kindness and devotion Which words to hide and which to say You taught me order and precision My thoughts should never go astray You said you hope you raised me right Now I'm independent to decide You said you hope I hold my kite Standing firmly on the ground Can you see what I've become? Are you pleased with what I've done? Have I learned your lessons well? Tell me through the ringing Of that distant bell I'll remember I'll remember Always Next day I saw you pulling down A little boat into the tide You said – there's only room for me, my son It's meant to be a lonely ride I've done enough, I've said enough Now please allow me to depart No matter where I'm gonna be You and me will never be apart Can you see what I've become? Are you pleased with what I've done? Have I learned your lessons well? Tell me through the ringing Of that distant bell I'll remember I'll remember Always

Heading the Sun My face is old, my heart is young So many stupid things are done So much is left behind So much space Forgotten words have left no trace You and me Only you and me Let's dream away Let's dream of you and me together Let's dream away Let's dream of you and me and our forever Let's dream away Let's dream of you and me together Let's dream away Let's dream of you and me and our forever

They Say 04:41
My endless way To endless dawn So many days forever gone Carrying the fire on my own They say - don't look at what you've found They say - don't look for what you've lost They say - it's time to turn your face To someone who you love the most

Sailing Home 06:30
The rising Sun is pointing at the distant land That's looming with a gleam on the horizon I hear my name, I see your waving hands The sea is hitching me, the tide is rising I have so much to tell, I hope you'll understand I promise I'll be honest, I will not fantasize I'll answer every question, I will not pretend Come a little closer, let me kiss your teary eyes ​ You are always me and I am always you It's our spell we're living under   You are always me and I am always you It's our spell we're dreaming under Our parting's over, it has no power any longer We've been alone so long, I've lost count of days I hope that time and distance made us stronger Right here, right now I'm gonna steal you from the grey ​ You are always me and I am always you It's our spell we're living under   You are always me and I am always you It's our spell we're dreaming under
