A sad song recorded in June, about the various flaws of travelling via Munich airport.

lyrics

7am, Munich Airport contemplating suicide
Haven't slept in 18 hours, I won't be sleeping tonight
For the longest time I thought I wouldn't make it through the year
And I'm not even proud of the fact that I'm still here

And last night I saw your silhouette
Next to someone who isn't me
Christmas Eve on a tent in the living room floor
A stranger in my own home, a forced metaphor

And you asked me 'how can I live with myself', answer's I don't think I can
Scared of closing my eyes and everything surround me
Friends and neighbours turn to strangers right before my eyes
And all the faces seem to turn away whenever I walk by

A city caked in post-communist grey
I haven't left the house in weeks
Yeah I have to say these past few days have been
Some of the happiest I've ever ignored

And you asked me 'how can I live with myself', answer's I don't think I can
Scared of closing my eyes and everything surround me
Friends and neighbours turn to strangers right before my eyes
And all the faces seem to turn away whenever I walk by

And every day I keep telling myself to stop reminding people of songs that are better than my own
My average voice and these tired cliches will have to do for now
And every day I keep thinking how much better things would have been if I'd just picked up the phone
Yeah everything would have been easier if I'd just asked you to stay
