She said “get ready”
Leave all the shit behind, come on with me
Go get your dreams, while I’ll get my degree
7 years of bad luck, before you met me
Get ready

Oh, I’m sure a mess
But I’m the mess that you wanted
I’ll do my best
To keep it clear that I want ya
The bad, the good, the hurt
The hard, I’m still all yours

Even when my mind is full of chaos
You see through the mess, you see the good stuff
I bet on a bad, you bet a pure heart
Can’t believe that I’m all yours
I’m all yours

You said “whatever”
Never been more of mess than when I met ya
You never cared about what I couldn’t give ya
Only cared ‘bout what I had
That’s all that mattered
Whatever

I’m sure a mess
But I’m the mess that you wanted
I’ll do my best
To keep it clear that I want ya
the bad, the good, the hurt
The hard, I’m still all yours 

Even when my mind is full of chaos
You see through the mess, you see the good stuff
I bet on a bad, you bet a pure heart
Can’t believe that I’m all yours

I’m all yours
All yours
I’m all yours
All yours

Even when my mind is full of chaos
You see through the mess, you see the good stuff
I bet on a bad, you bet a pure heart
Can’t believe that I’m all yours
I’m all yours

Tell me
Are we growing from a bad seed
Are we doing all the wrong things
Are we even on the same page, mmh

Heartbreak
Never felt like this, to be honest
My burning chest ain’t funny
Nothing stings like heartbreak
Nothing, nothing

How I wanna know
Now, do you want me
I really wanna know, do you

Give and take is a fine balance
One that you tipped the wrong way
Oh baby, can’t you see the damage
Do you really wanna hurt me

Tell me
Are we stuck inside a bad dream, aha 

Heartbreak
Never felt like this, to be honest
My burning chest ain’t funny
Nothing stings like heartbreak
Nothing, nothing

How I wanna know
Now, do you want me
I really wanna know, do you

Heartbreak
Never felt like this, to be honest
My burning chest ain’t funny
Nothing stings like heartbreak
Nothing, nothing

Could've sworn I saw the outcome
Could've kept it to myself
Baby, we were made titans
Built to stand this change

Would've given you every ounce of
Whatever you desired most
Should probably’ve kept my mouth shut
Colliding as we were

Now you're gone with the wind just like that
Left with the clothes on your back
My mind and soul
Forever roams
At ease with you
We're pieces pulled, oh baby
From the same moon

Surrender all my pardons
Withhold my every need
As I let you dance your heart out
With anyone you’d please

Now you're gone with the wind just like that
Left with no trace for me to track
My mind and soul
Forever roams
At ease with you
We're pieces pulled, oh baby
From the same moon

That we would go beyond some
The stars of which we're made
Baby, we were made titans
Long before we met

Forever, always
Forever, always
Forever, always

Forever darling, maybe always (forever, always)
Meant to be, built to stand this change (forever, always)
Forever darling, maybe always (forever, always)
Meant to be, built to stand this change (forever, always)

Tekst/musik: Ginne Marker

Did we crash into the stairs, or
Wake your neighbours, when we came home
Late and drunk in love, so
Young and oh, so golden

Did I crack this broken marble floor
Don’t remember that line from before
Suppose back then I didn’t know
Things break, when you least want them to

We crashed into each other’s worlds
Tore down the roof in every room
Crystal skies, velvet walls
Water garden and pink somersaults

Broken, bruised, confused and blue
Oh baby, how I wanted you
I learned a lasting lesson though
Hearts break, when you least want them to

Never will I let go, you know
I’ll love you on my own
Baby, if I have to
Make it work, paint it over
Never golden but beautiful

Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful

Lock the door and throw away the key
Leave the ruins that are me 
Shatter every single piece
Heart in hand, leave it be

So reliant on the moon
Jealous how it shines on you
Guess I’ll have to face the truth
Hearts break, when you least want them to

But never will I let go, you know
I’ll love you on my own
Baby, if I have to
Make it work and paint it over
Never golden but beautiful

Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful

Tekst/musik: Ginne Marker

Lovers in orbit
Launched into space
It was real though - wasn’t it?

Stop mocking me, please
Show some etiquette
All the things I bended on really took a toll on me
Did you forget

Now who do I talk to, baby
Who do you love more than me - who?
I don’t know if I should’ve come over
What will I do now
When my heart gets sober

Heart drenched in wine
Wrapped under my skin
If it was real
Why break so easily

Who do I turn to, baby
Who could you love more than me - who?
I don’t know if I should’ve come over
What do I do now
When my heart gets sober

Bullets on parade
Shards of broken glass
Open wounds that I fill up with champagne and all that jazz
A glittered joy in lovers that may come and go and pass
Oh, it’ll never fill the void you left in me
That’s a fact

Now who do I turn to, baby
Who put that spell on your love
I don’t wanna feel
Don’t want you to hold her, no

Said, who do I turn to, baby
Real love is hard to come by
I don’t wanna feel, no
I’d rather drown it all than try
Do what I can do to keep my heart
From being sober

Tekst/musik: Ginne Marker

Fuck it up just to feel something
Exactly what you’d expect of me
Expiration on everything
Tainted love, jealous reign

Fuck it up at your own expense
Know we tried, said in my defense
Say I lost all evidence
Of our love ever on my skin

The upper hand
Has an ugly feel
Sour taste, hungry guilt
Petty tears don’t work for me
Sharp tongues cut eventually

Upper hand as a point proven
Once, tends to fuck it up again
Takes a toll on your will to bend
Less will to keep the cut clean

The upper hand
Has an ugly feel
Sour taste, hungry guilt
Balancing on brittle bones
Couldn’t handle this sharp turn

There’s a price for a winning hand
The way that power is positioned
Cold grip, sore purple veins
Forced, inevitable win

Here comes the bitter end
More than honorable mentions
The more you lose, the more you’re all in
Go blind for the upper hand

The upper hand
The upper hand
The upper hand

Tekst/musik: Ginne Marker

Omen
Don’t you see I’m the bearer of
These bittersweet but bad news for us
I’ve kept it down and at this point
My silver tongue can turn anything to dust

Omen
Don’t be fooled by the thrill of us
In no time have you staring down the barrel of
Biting bullets long enough
Careful dear, is it even worth the shot

Never had the nerve to
Scared you’re gonna see through
My caged heart in this curfew
Blessed are the solitary lone few
Just let me adore you
‘Til it starts to burn through
Your cyanide for perfume
Shielded, guarded virtue
Maybe it’s an omen
Omen, omen

Mark my words, spare those tears
Too precious for my duly noted fears
Timely matter set in motion
Something’s changed
Oh honey, don’t you notice?

Never had the nerve to
Scared you’re gonna see through
My caged heart in this curfew
Blessed are the solitary lone few
Just let me adore you
‘Til it starts to burn through
Your cyanide for perfume
Shielded, guarded virtue
Maybe it’s an omen

Omen, omen
Omen, omen

Little figurine
You carry the weight of my dreams
Put my faith in you, high hopes
Light a match, become the poet

Phoenix, set me on fire
Burn all the schemes
All but one desire
Take what’s left
It’ll rise again
I’ll let it in, I’ll let it all burn

Like a lion roaring from the flame
Candle in the wind that can’t be tamed
I’ll let the flare carry my pen and rule
As I trade the piece of me that used to love you

I’ll trade your broken promises for prose and verses
Melodies from ashes, rhymes outburst
How it burns to part with a piece of the soul
That’s the fate of the poet

Take these lips of mine that used to want you
And I’ll trade these broken arms that used to hold you, darling
I’ll let the flare carry my pen and rule
A heart that bled for you sings so sweet and true
A forever-framed piece of our love to be told

That’s the fate, deep in the soul
The fate of the poet

Tekst/musik: Ginne Marker

How I put you on the highest mountain, highest
I could think of, highest place
Far beyond the grasp of imagination
You were always outta reach

You’re so high in my mind and
It takes a little timing
To get it right
Let me close my eyes
I’m scared to raise the flag on this
Let it peak, reach the summit
Where do I go after Everest
Everest, Everest

I think I tread a million tracks, and followed
Your every lead now, and every step
Been climbing all Himalayas
I’ve never seen anything
Quite like this

You’re so high in my mind and
It takes a little timing
To get it right
Let me close my eyes
I’m scared to raise the flag on this
And let it peak, reach the summit
Where do we go, baby
After Everest

Uh, baby come on over
Let me hold ya
Long ago, should’ve told ya
I’ve never met anyone giving me
This vertigo, so
Let’s reach the summit, reach the summit
You’re my Everest

You’re so high in my mind, babe
It takes a little timing
To get it right
Let me close my eyes
I’m scared to raise the flag on this
And let it peak, yeah
Reach the summit, reach the summit
You’re my Everest

Tekst/musik: Ginne Marker

Feels like every other word you leave unsaid
Guards up, far away from me, playing it safe

Won’t you let me in, just a little bit
I won’t ask for much, just that you know at least
There’s a still little bit of you left in me
Always was, always

There’s a little bit of you in every
song that I sing
Every word and note, echoing correlation

Won’t you let me in, just a little bit
I’ve loved you for so long, kinda think I always have
There’s still a little bit of the love you left in me
Always was, always

Watch me fall apart
See how it’ll all crumble
‘Til I’m all crushed, and all stripped down
All that’s left of me, is a little bit of you
How it always was, always

Oh, won’t you let me in, just a little bit
I’ve loved you for so long, you know I always will
Do with it what you want
There’s no way around this for you and me
Never was, never

Tekst/musik: Ginne Marker

A heart to heart
In this temper
Might tip the balance
I don’t really think it’s clever
Deliberate the state of our nature
All fired up
If it’s all the time we’ve left together

Buckle up
The devil’s in the detail
Waging war inside these walls
When we’re meant to fit, not really made to reset
Don’t know if we’re gonna break this fall

How clever are you now
How clever are you now
How clever are you now
How clever

A finish line
Right in front of us
Racing hearts
Beating faster than ever
Raging on
Proceed with caution
MIB, you caught me off guard
This arguing can turn us

Buckle up
The devil’s in the detail
Waging war behind these eyes
Meant to keep calm, at least try
Never was the type to let go of my pride

Don’t look down
I’m hiding here
Soaked outside your window
And I never thought
We’d end up here
Compromised and final

Caught red-handed came to fight
Clever leaving first, I was so surprised
Clever never was your strong side

How clever are you now
How clever are you now
How clever are you now
How clever

Tekst/musik: Ginne Marker

Here we are
In Ulteria
Drowning, flooded inner parlour
Soul pouring out

We’re closing in
On the distance that
Held the blame last time
Tore us apart

Ghost of us
Lurking in the corridors
Rotten soil, ruined crops
Closure calls for fault

Hold your horses
While my breaking heart
Fits the mold of
Yours, unharmed

Hold my breath ‘til I’m losing it
Lost all track of the oxygen
You last held in your lungs
So close to your heart
In our final form

Return to dust
From ashes of us
No boundaries of
A love ulterior

Ulteria, Ulteria
Ulteria, Ulteria

Hear me out
I loved you, don’t you know
Ulteria
It’s the art of letting go

Maybe I’ll
Learn to call some other time
And sober up
Just need a little on my own

Staring much
At things I’ve yet to return
Ulteria
It’s time to let it go

Tekst/musik: Ginne Marker

I’d keep my eyes open
But I was never any good at keeping them
On the price, I’m the kind that never was chosen
First in line, back when we were kids

I’ve made a lot of promises
I was never any good at keeping them
I sure kept my heart wide open for you
That I’m bad at showing
Doesn’t mean I didn’t let you in

To be sensitive to all around
Like magnets do, I feel this pull
So enchanted by their every turn
It’s out of my hands
Can’t help but follow

I gave my heart to you
One day you gave it back
Well, ever since then I kept it close to home
Feeling it was never really mine to have

I’ve made my fair share of mistakes
I’m soft-spoken, but deeply felt
So secretive to the ones I loved
Disguised by the coldest hands
You’ve ever held

To be fair I feel it all around
Drawn to this magnetic pull
Despite of all my love and running hope
Wherever it takes me
I’ll blindly follow

I’ll take the blame
Someone should have told you, my love
I never was one to tell
But I can show you
For seasons to come

Tekst/musik: Ginne Marker

Last time the snow fell this deep
That’s when you fell for me
In winter coats, streets covered in white
Footsteps and diamond shaped lights

I don’t mind the sky raining down on me
As long as it’s below zero degrees
Now, whenever the snow falls that deep
I still hope you think of me

Je pense, je pense, tout le temps à toi
Je te regarde toujours, touche jamais
Mais c’est la vie pour moi, tu sais
Quand la neige tombe si profonde, je pense à toi
Dis-moi, mon cœur, est-ce que tu penses à moi?

The snow, the snow is falling I see
Falling much further than you ever did, for me
Now it’s so cold and cruel
Then again it’s nothing compared to you, no

Je pense, je pense, tout le temps à toi
Je te regarde toujours, touche jamais
Mais c’est la vie pour moi, tu sais
Quand la neige tombe si profonde, je pense à toi
Dis-moi, mon cœur, est-ce que tu penses à moi?

Je tiens tellement à toi
Alors, tu triches, c’est vrai
Caring much deeper than you ever did for me
La neige est profonde et lourde, et il fait trop froid
Mais, ce n’est rien comparé à toi

Je pense à toi
Dis-moi, mon cœur
Dis-moi, mon cœur
Dis-moi, mon cœur
Est-ce que tu penses à moi?

Tekst/musik: Ginne Marker

You’ve got that glint in your eyes
You bow your head and speak too low
Drawing me closer to hear you
Teasing me, then letting go

You keep your hand in your pocket
And your words well said
My foolish fears are far from friendly
So condescendingly red

I know you’ve got them all waiting
Confidently in line just for you
Like links in a chain, pearls on a string
The more, the merrier, oh the fools

I keep my actions well tempered
I try to keep it cool
Until our timing gets just right, my dear
I’ll be waiting just for you

What kinda fool rushes in
On the mere idea of you
What kinda hope is there for me to cling to
Will our some day soon come true

Tekst/musik: Ginne Marker

Round in this spinning wheel
We go, I’m head over heels
Countless encores on this carousel
Whatever you’re doing to me, you do it well

I’m wrapped around your fingertips
I’m all yours, you just don’t know it yet
So who will let their guards down first
I’m strong but not strong enough
To tare down the walls we built

I’m hanging by my fingertips
So close to let it slip
Round and round, we chase in this
For heaven’s sake, I would’ve fallen for less

You’re a saint and I’m a sinner
A mere pawn, but I delivered
Playing your game with your crossed fingers
Pouring salt in the wounds on my skin, cuts deeper

Edge of my seat, hanging by my nails
So close to let it slip
Can’t get these words right off of my lips
Why can’t you see, I’m all in for this

Bells ringing, sail’s high
I’m waving my white flag in front of your eyes
What a sight, hands up and my tongue tied
Out in your waters, nowhere to hide
I’m down on my knees for you
Too in love to let it show
Hallelujah, hell if I know
But I surrender, bow down to you

Only you’ve got that power over me
Call it faith in the saint you are to me, to me

I’m out of tricks up my sleeve
I’ve come to terms with your winning spree
Oh, I’m a fool that stays beside with no leash
Forever all tied up in your chains, I chose to be

Bells ringing, sail’s high
I’m waving my white flag in front of your eyes
What a sight, hands up and my tongue tied
I’m out in your waters, nowhere to hide
I’m down, scratched my knees for you
Too in love to let you go
Hallelujah, hell if I know
I surrender, bow down to you

Only you’ve got that power over me
Call it faith in the saint you are to me, to me

Tekst/musik: Ginne Marker

Summer came and summer went
Just like all the years before
Still every time the first leaf falls
I think of life when I first saw
A love as bittersweet as yours

The tick of time and seasons change
Yearly reminder of our lovers haze
Now, I don’t find it true that saying
Not everything is washed away in the rain

Birds and years are flying by
Reminds of how foolishly I still try
Though countless times men have tried
But nothing stops the tick of time

But I’ll keep an eye out for you
Wherever I go from now on
Just leave the sight of you in my window
Slowly dancing in the kitchen with
Morning softly sailing in on us

The tide is gone and still it stays
Water’s low but soon will rise
I can’t help it, I can’t hide
Back and forth I go to the tick of time

It’s bittersweet but sweet, you know
To be chained to you when all it takes
Is for the first leaf to fall

Tekst/musik: Ginne Marker

Starry, starry night
Shining down on me
Why have I always been drawn this way to you
Won’t you loosen up your skies
That surround me
Turn down all your lights tonight

Starry, starry how
You seem so hollow
Thought all I ever said to you was said in confidence
Confessed up all my sins
They’re too hard to swallow
Just couldn’t be alone with this on my conscience

Starry, starry night
Why do you taunt me
Did much more than I could ever do
I was as close as I dared
What do you want here
Shining oh so brightly

You keep an eye on me
Maybe I’m too blind to see
The only place I ever felt like I belonged
I’m tied up to my path
Too good for my own self
Now look at the mess I made
How I wish you didn’t have this hold on me, you have

Worry for my vow
To stay away
I never was freed of you
Wasn’t supposed to hide
And you to recognize

One day I’ll cheat the stars
Make it out of their light
Shining down on me
So bright

Tekst/musik: Ginne Marker

When I’m awake, I’m thinking about you
Now you’re not here, oh how I wish you were
And when I’m asleep, I’m always dreaming about you
I guess it’ll get a little less hard every day

When I’m alone, I get lost in my thoughts
In thoughts and in memories of us, oh how
The smell of your perfume has still to leave the room
But I guess it’ll get a little less hard very soon

Sunny days, still clouds above
Rainy thoughts on lonely nights without you, my love
I don’t care much for these changes
Here they go again
I guess it’ll get a little less hard in the end

Sunny days, still clouds above
Rainy thoughts on lonely nights without you, my love
And I don’t care much for these changes
Oh, here they go again
I guess it’ll get a little less hard in the end

How, now when I speak I get lost in my words
Now when I breathe it hurts
My darling I’m so lost
And I’m gonna be so lost without you

I guess it’ll get a little less hard
I guess I’m gonna make it work
I guess it’ll get a little less hard
In the end

Tekst/musik: Ginne Marker

I’ve been hearing you
Even though it’s just in my head
I track your every step
But now it’s fading everyday
I guess it’s just the way this world spins
My favourite things

All the things I know
About you, still not how
You’re doing today
What you eat, who you’re talking with
But I picture it in my head
And guess it’s just the way this world turns

When, when I wish upon a star
I close my eyes
Try to see what you’re seeing where you are
And whether you’d smile
If you heard me sing
This lullaby for you

When, when I wish upon a star
I wish to know
Are they shining bright ‘bove you today
Are they lighting up your way
As I sing my lullaby for you

When, when I wish upon a star
I close my eyes
Try to see what you’re seeing where you are
And whether you’d smile

So when I wish upon a star
I wish to know how you are
But most of all I wish you well
With this lullaby for you

Tekst/musik: Ginne Marker

I hope you found
What you were looking for
What I couldn’t see
What you saw clearly

What’s going on
Do you still sleep with that one
Orange light on and do you still
Wake up to that same old song
Humming along, all on my own

Paris or Berlin
Tokyo or London, you’re in
Where you’ve gone to this time
Lately I’m wondering

While I’m alone
Here in my own little world
All by myself, I’m still here
Or wherever you want me to

No, I don’t mind
Giving you all that I’ve got, dear
Maybe some day
We’ll feel the same way
Be in the same place
All at the same time

A little too late
Our timing was just not that great, right
We are just like day and night
I’m in love, you’re sometimes
I’m in 3 and you’re in 5

Tekst/musik: Ginne Marker

Goodnight good love
I’m still treading in the same old tracks
Chasing down every memory lane
Whenever I get back to where the way
The stars aligned still mares my mind when starred at
Where my hometown glory’s tainted
With the moments of the past

Knees to the ground, no religion on my tongue
I still keep you in my prayers though, if I’d ever have one
And time and time again you’ve shown up on my path
And this bed I made I’m laying in
Heavier each day that’s passed

I’ll keep on running, with punctured lungs I sing
And I’m taking on water
Oh, I’m a broken hearted heroine fighting her way
Please have mercy on me

A goodnight’s in its place, if I’m never letting go
Of our late-night rendez-vous
The memory of your footsteps in the snow
Seems like a case of you, in every story that I’ve told

Through the maze you’ve made for me
I’ll find my way
So every night I’ll go, if only I
Could dream a million dreams of you

What a mess you’ve made of me
For tonight I’ll let it be
Goodnight good love
Sweet dreams
