Bubble Burst 04:34
Here I am again Frozen like a block of ice Pale as chalk in disbelief The bitter taste of having Fooled myself another time Makes me angry, makes me grieve It took all my breath to make But again my bubble bursts Here I go again Having almost everything it takes I am on the verge I know that at this point What I must do is push the buttons right Find the route, adjust the mood I doubted myself enough And at last my bubble bursts Came and went again I know that sound I know that taste I know that rainbow-coloured shine Stumbled to the edge What formerly confined my universe Is now soapy water in my face I gave all to live in it But at last my bubble burst At last my bubble burst

Bought myself flowers And made a good soup Stress breathing down my neck I know the guy who made it up Savouring detours Allowing the swoop A day, a week, a month is All I want No shame, no fear, no self-esteem No one’s to blame where sinners teem Good life as my priority Doesn’t sound crazy A whole of a galaxy In one fell swoop there’re 50 million planets and 200 million stars Everything I see comes from Nothingness and dust Without my contribution But yet it works No shame, no fear, no self-esteem No one’s to blame where sinners teem Good life free from authority Doesn’t sound crazy No luck, no game, no destiny Your urge to work kills secretly Good life as new priority Doesn’t sound crazy All comes from nothing And anyway falls apart

The mind it slips, the mind it drips Go find the vessel it will fit Some of them slowly others quick Squeeze out the essence, make them speak Every word and every vaguery Crossed your brain a hundred times Now you just have to let them go The lips they split, the lips they spit Hot molten lava, icy pins Blink of an eye, a spec of sky Spitting the truth, the curse, the lie Every word and every vaguery crossed your brain a thousand times Now you just have to let them go The mind it slips, the mind it drips Go find the vessel it will fit Some of them slowly others quick Squeeze out the essence, make them speak Every word and every vaguery Crossed your brain a million times Now you just have to let them go

I find great joy in kindness For everyone except for me If I cannot be kind to myself How can I be truly good to you? If I deny myself the love of others Will I ever learn to love myself? If I deny the love of others At least I will not blame the others For a shortcoming that I might have Oh, some people just can’t be bothered I do not find joy in hatred Yet it fills me to the brim sometimes When I see justice deferred Which is just the same as justice denied The fucking world develops As if 1984 in our day Instead of a grim warning Was an instruction manual The only one who is defeated From beating up yourself is you Oh, some people just can’t be bothered All these things are dismissed For their so called “greater good” Thinking ignorance bliss Like only cowards would They want you to join their fold All these things are dismissed For their so called “greater good” Thinking ignorance bliss Like only cowards would They want you to join their fucking cult Their fucking cult

============ LYRICS: I sell the hope and take the fear Paint the struggle in true colours A piece of art for you to frame See through the veil like the old masters Peace of mind for you to own You’re looking for the promise of resolve I tell the story unto others Decide what they hold dear A memory for you to distort I offer food for thought I tell the lie and eat the fear A meme for you to understand The promise of resolve I am feeding your addiction you are feeding mine I cannot heal your affliction even over time I require your attention you desire mine How much time can we be spending waiting for a sign? Overdriven messages A truth, a rip, a tear Crying at your shoulders Venting troubles we all share Generation absolution Permission to strip bare Pouring out our hearts to you Hoping you might care I sing a song of good and evil Shining epic, woeful tale A record made for you to buy A promise of resolve You can hear beneath the static A melody that lets you cry A chorus you can sing along to A promise of resolve I sell hope and eat the fear I decide what you hold dear I sell hope and eat the fear

Oh, I’ll take every distraction The loud, the cold, the sweet and the bitter Severed all synaptic connections got my thoughts flying hither and thither Reset - off and on again I’ll just take any distraction Oh, I’ll take any distraction Even at risk of the post high jitters Cover my eyes, cover my ears and tuck me in Give me shiny things and glitter Bring me strings and sealing wax Find me on a dragon’s back Among the stars up in the sky Fly me to the Lubberland The Land of Cocaigne See old Albert on his bike Driving crooked lines Give me shiny stuff that glitters And I’ll accept the post high jitters You will find The daily grind To be bliss for our kind The ultimate distraction The ultimate distraction Bring me strings and sealing wax Find me on a dragon’s back Among the stars up in the sky Fly me to the Lubberland The Land of Cocaigne See old Albert on his bike On a psychedelic ride We will steer through any crisis In the old and proven way Taking heed of Dionysos We’ll get plastered If I stick to the instructions Tear me down, put me back together Oh, then from my own path of destruction I’ll set out to a greener pasture Reclaim what was never mine

The fight is uneven yet No one will win You are just holding on With the bare skin Of bloodied knuckles to a Humanity within You shake it off and start All over again An opportunity gone by For intelligent life Artificial or not Another faded light in a Cold dark universe Our civilizational strive Instead of furthering life We leave deserts behind An opportunity gone by Your friends are not my friends While I fight small battles You’re loosing the struggle For all current life This fragile spaceship Everyone calls their home That, If not cared for well Will just throw us off An opportunity gone by For intelligent life Artificial or not Another faded light in a Cold dark universe Our civilizational strive Instead of furthering life We leave deserts behind An opportunity gone by Salted earth, sour oceans Copyright - humankind It was good while it lasted Let’s give roaches a try An intelligent life Artificial or not Instead of furthering life Leaving deserts behind An opportunity gone by
