Freedom
can you see the car in front of you?
we are driving along
follow it till the end of the world
we're on the road again…
freedom is the most beautiful bride
freedom is the most…
can you see her eye
instead of red rear light
she smells as gasoline
poisoned but good!
freedom is the most beautiful bride
freedom is the most beautiful bride
freedom is the most beautiful…
lay down on the warm road
dark and lonely summer night
if you realy want something
have no fear…
freedom is the most beautiful bride
freedom is the most beautiful bride
freedom is the most beautiful bride
freedom is the most beautiful

I Play You Vibrate
do you hear the bass of the city?
it's always there
monster machinery
sinister minister, barrister, easter egg
to be away is such a pity
it breakes one's back
lost inside a maze, out of phase
it's a difficult job to swim on top
you and me the same membrane
I play you vibrate
now we're back like we were never away
I play you vibrate
...and again life is a gift
but what does it mean to be yourself,
to be the best no matter what? (no matter how?)
to be awake is a pity
it's a waste of time
lost inside a maze, just another phrase
do your lousy job and shut your mouth
you and me the same membrane
I play you vibrate
now we're back like we were never away
I play you vibrate
yeah I know
we are small
we're unknown
turn the page
draw a line/let it flow
can you feel the bass of the city?
it's way too loud
monster menchinery
beautiful difficult satisfied customer
you and me the same membrane
I play you vibrate
now we're back like we were never away
I play you vibrate
yeah I know
we are small
we're unknown
turn the page
draw a line/let it go

Devil Pays More
the story ends
the circle turns
her hungry eyes
they read my mind
she gives me tears
then gives me booze
I can't escape
'cause she's got me by the balls
I'm setting your life on fire
I'm pulling you in
the devil is a good buyer
you gotta get in
I'm givin' you love right now girl
so take off your skin
i'll squeeze you and rock you baby
till juices get spilt
the devil sings
the goat is served
release the chains
and drink some more
his love is fun
his love is real
I want you now
'cause you got me by the balls
I'm setting your life on fire
I'm pulling you in
the devil is a good buyer
you gotta get in
I'm givin' you all right now girl
so take off your skin
I'll squeeze you and rock you baby
till juices get spilt, yeah
you gotta get in, you gotta get in baby
you've burnt my freedom
I'll eat your soul
I'll pull your heart out
but that's ok 'cause the devil pays more
I'm setting your life on fire
I'm pulling you in (yeah the devil pays more)
I'm selling my soul right now, oh
you gotta get in (yeah the devil pays more)
I'm giving you all my love girl
so take off your skin (yeah the devil pays more)
I'll squeeze you and rock you baby
till heaven's rebuilt!

Dead Star
04:21

|
Dead Star
elated by its own greatness
fragile and bold
depending on the mood
it spins around
it's demanding nothing
and each new piece has its logical place
the light of which will one day go out
inspired you come from afar
to conquer the beautiful star
to claim what was never yours
and what is not there anymore
it's demanding nothing
and each new piece has its logical place
the light of which will one day go out
a written word is mightier than one spoken
it doesn’t need one strong and another one broken
the further we are the more we require
and we go higher, higher
the wind we watch resides above the heavens
its origin no longer lives
photons of the past strike our faces
splitting eternity into moments
words at times erect a monumental construction
on which all is clear and self explanatory
perhaps the love that is written may warm your frozen soul
and return to you the emotion that you battle within
sometimes it’s easier to write then to speak
a written word is mightier than one spoken
doesn’t need one strong and another one broken
the further we are the more we require
and we go higher, higher
the wind we watch resides above the heavens
its origin no longer lives
photons of the past strike our faces
splitting eternity into moments

Victory Lap in Slow Motion
you shoved your hand
deep down my throat
you took me by the gut
and left me hanging upside down
dangling from the shame pole
I turn to dust
in the wind of voices
that I cannot understand
the crowd passes
it spits its’ spite
at this carcass that I am
I chew myself through
to forge a trail
that will take me towards the light
saliva tears
another aberration
in the “forgive me” collection
the ongoing exhibition
admission is free
another aberration
departure impossible
the crowd passes
it spits its’ spite
at this carcass that I am
I chew myself through
to forge a trail
that will take me towards the light
you have to give me a thousand more scars
so (that) I can make the dress in which I will be laid
my bad words
help me forget
I’ll set myself free again
like a victory lap
run in slow motion
(there’s) no more fighting
(it’s) just an emotion
the crowd passes
it spits its’ spite
at this carcass that I am
I chew myself through
to forge a trail
that will take me towards the light
you have to give me a thousand more scars
I’ll get more stitches/more pain

Traveling Home
hold on to your long rope
hangin' down to hell
tied to her misery and pain
hold on
hang on to the long rope
danglin' down to hell
tied to a cold heart of clay
we've been to too many places and tears
and if there's no time there's no speed
slow down, slow down
you've already got everything
hold on, hang on
you're not too late to tie a figure of eight
it's time to stop chasing your tail, carrying the cross…
(…traveling so far to find what was so near and hidden in plain sight)
tatoo your pain
misery is you
we've been to too many places and tears
and if there's no time there's no speed
slow down, slow down
you've already got everything you need

Reason I Quit
02:21

|
Reason I Quit
when some things cease to inspire
and I haven’t found new ones
when the ground shifts under my feet
I feel so light (that) I'm floatin' in free space
and out of myself
out of myself
that's the only reason I quit
to get out of myself
frying on dimond sky
reason I quit
reason I …
when it seems it's much more blue
and complicated then I first thought
I insist on looking for signs
I make up ones which hurt me to the bone
I'm out of myself, out of myself
that's the only reason I quit
to get out of myself
prying on…
you don't need god are you more?
you don't need more are you god?
here I am becoming god!
you don't need god are you more?
here I cease to be a man
here I am becoming god!
here I cease to be a man
here I am becoming god!

Drama
she walks trough me
'cause I can't stab the eye
we waltz in the fog
we waltz in the fog
we dance in the rhythm of lies
it's state we're in
we can only grow apart
we sleep in the desert dreaming the desert
we drink and we feed on this lie
we weep for tomorrow but there's no tomorrow
we'll dance in the fog all our lives
this state we're in
it can only fall apart
it's dead within
and all we got left is the sin
the sin
we will drown in a lie
we weep for tomorrow but there's no tomorrow
there's razor sharp end of the world
we sleep in the desert dreaming the desert
we drink and we feed on this lie
we'll crawl in the fog all our lives
the Almighty Serpent
and all we got made is the sin
the sin
it's the anchor that's pulling us down
the sin
it's the anchor that's pulling us down
we will drown in a lie
all we got made is the sin
I am broke and I'm sad
she tells a lie…
high and broken inside
she tells another lie…
hmmmm, hmmmm
our sky is grey there's nothing to say
goodbye my love
goodbye my love

hmmmm…
inside outside
I'm touching you with my eyes
outside inside
you feel fine
I feel fine
we feel fine
I feel fine
I feel fine
feel so fine!
love making

Pinball
I haven’t been where you have been
I haven’t seen what you have seen
haven’t felt what you have done
so now I don’t care what they say about me
just like I don’t care what they say about you
they’re one way by day
by night another
you haven’t been where I have been
you haven’t seen what I have seen
haven’t felt what I have done
so now I don’t care what they say about me
just like I don’t care what they say about you
one way by day
by night another
you’ve always thought me to be true
that it’s the only way of getting through
It seems that’s only thing I do
yet somehow...
I don’t care what they say about me
just like I don’t care what they say about you
they’re one way by day
by night another
one way by day
by night another
I don’t care what they say about me
I don’t care what they say about you

Under Clouded Sky
under clouded sky
where is lovely sun
long forgotten green
and a little bit of love to fit between?
