stay sober
on alert
your adversary
that devil
prowls like lions
seeking someone
to devour
he arrives
to divide
sets sights
on what's weak
inside
haunting eyes
danger signs
revel in
your revelations
or suffer
your luck will
burn out
reveal the
nature of
your desire
(he arrives...)
i decide
to side
with time
believing lies
is no
trait of mine
persist
as if
all guilts
have gone
every regret
reversed
watch your
worries
die out
(i decide...)
haunted eyes
sadness signs
i recognize
what's wrong
inside

letters

moved to the city
i made it a month
with my mind collapsing
i abandoned the south
i thought i could beat it
by running away
i took you for granted
you wouldn't let me stay
it sure is colder
just two hours north
back to devilish measures
i must resort
i knew this was over
before it began
when i look down i see
there's no ground left (on which to land)
who the fuck am i?
a sailor without a ship
not equipped to
live in this world
goodbye friends
goodbye family
please don't bother
to remember me
it will only bring you down
into the dark space i have found
i have lived life sight-
less for too long
slept on floors in every town
i know i don't belong here
i haven't heard a
sound in years

nothing i can do (for you)
is an absolute
if i ever even chose
whether wasting worry
is a win or lose
what do you have to prove
you sinew in and out of my view
my muscles mangled
i'm not moving (for you)
no worth in
losing pride
pretending to try
tired of sacrifices
made in stride
i can't hear you crying
now i find myself calling (you)
three in the morning
my will is eroding
my recollection of our collapse
is fading fast
i hear confusion in your voice
do you regret your former choice?
to send me out into the cold
well, the love you bought has been sold
(no worth in...)

smother

burst into life
rife with fright
bright but bent
to trouble from the get go
yet unchanged
chained inside
made of lies
staying brain-fried
tried and true
deepened blue
heavy, lonely
my only mood
a smooth line
trapped in time
tired and blind
hope an end will arise
no prize in life
no type of respite
ever-fading light
emanates from my eyes
my mind's been wasted
life unsatiated
hidden, hated
the heart never quits breaking
stationed in some hell
drowned in a wishing well
my bell is ringing
only i hear the singing
final blink
fatal wink
wash me down the damn sink
before i grow old
sold to mold
story untold
last hand folded
in death all is golden

pastimes
03:09
|
|||
|
a no good cycle
another sacred timekill
escape some pain (drain away)
shake and shiver
scratch at your collar
hatred growing taller
save a grain for me
i will miss you pal
i will see you in hell
when life stalls (a second world calls)
fire blossoms
flames strain to reach the sky
something says goodbye
where the waves greet the shore
i'll meet you there
with some time to share (if you're not busy)

quarantune
03:52
|
|||
|
misanthropic and moronic
sings a song so dishonest
who in their right mind wants this?
only the thoughtless
lost all faith in humanity
sorely lacking sanity
living life in quarantine
hiding from covid-19
take no chances
the storm advances
the world is cancelled
normality is dismantled
anger rises, never falls
i see faces on the walls
victims of the hidden enemy
a battle of great complexity
i scream, hoping this is just a dream
we remain under the thumb of a sick regime
always swimming upstream
to save ourselves we must break free
help yourself to see some truth
look around you, there's so much proof
we subside on borrowed time
quit listening to the lies
hate who hurts you
they want nothing more than for you to lose
don't break down, stay proud and loud
join the growing crowd

on page one
the end has begun
the world is overrun
with those waiting for the son
he's never gonna come
you're left with his crumbs
morality is learned
it's up to you what you become
head in the sand
holding on 'til the next demand
the words on your tongue
are just straight wrong
the voice in your head
is a devil misled
what you hear isn't real
it's your mind they want to steal
there's ways to be spiritual
without looking for a miracle
just step outside
the beauty of being alive can be your guide
i understand your wish
to go somewhere after this
this sliver of time is all we have
wasting it would be such a drag
really, we're already in hell
death is our release
go with no expectations
into an endless black

descension
03:29
|
|||
|
i'll save my sorrows for tomorrow
a broken feeling, never borrowed
born into a bad mind
or just the wrong time
every year outdoes the last
no matter what, i miss the past
the longer the life
the further the fall
something just isn't right
or never was, so now i might
reach into the void
careless, yet paranoid
rolling down an endless hill
no more pain, i've had my fill
it sure has been
a surreal ride
i will fight this fucking world
no longer, my fate has unfurled
hurl me into the wind
a final flight
the endless descension
earth's exit, a different dimension
beyond all comprehension
some strange invention

hopeless?
04:32
|
|||
|
we had a hope
and lost it
you wish for change
but want it costless
we need a greater future
not some short-while suture
how hard can it be
to see who holds the key
we held on hope
then we tossed it
being beaten down
to exhaustion
the insane is no longer unusual
keeping your wits is crucial
words too wicked to read
are all the bastards feed
these are frightening times
in hindsight sits so many signs
this is the middle of the end
it may be much too late to mend
kill them with kindness
fuck that, shoot down their high horse
no remorse
