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

All Comes From Nothing
05:31

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

Join The Cult
04:39
|
|

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

Generation Absolution

============
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

The Post High Jitters
04:52
|
|
||
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

An Opportunity Gone By
04:47
|
|
||
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
