Miles Away
03:23

miles away from the warmth of my childhood songs
they don't hit me that hard these days
(ooh)there's no escape from my endless duties
(ooh) they push me back into the cage each night
be here by my side, I need some comfort in my life
be here by my side
in a messed up flat, far away from the glimmering strands
of my mind, still romanticizing the past way too much
my head keeps spinning until it finally comes off
the alarm clock keeps ringing until I die
remain here by my side, I need some comfort in my life
remain here by my side

Dream Up My Future Child
04:26
|
|||
|
I want to believe
that normies don't control the world
but as I sat beside him
he just looked at me and said
"you crazy red-head,
just leave me alone"
He told me to just leave the bus
go back to where you came from
I said your life is all too valuable, André
to throw away on worry holes
my path would change so dramatically
Now I see, my future is framed
in a wedding suit
they're high-fiving me
I finally gave in and it felt so good
Now I see, my future is framed
in the community, we're all the same
I finally gave in and it felt so good
down to the center of the earth
you know, it's nothing if not cool
I want to stay in this old borderland
here they are approving of me
for making sense for once
Now I see my future is framed
told a joke, then i went home
I finally gave in and it felt so good
Now I see my future framed
with a suit and tie, incredibly drunk
I finally gave in and it felt so good

Subtraction Exercises
04:17
|
|||
|
I waved my white flag
but you vehicle was already gone
I appeared alone on your previous address
so I pictured your return
back in the city where we both belong
it's embarassing that we don't get along
I know, you need to be unobstructed
and alone with your imaginary maladies
I looked to the sea, to find some peace
but what is endless gazing to me
when you're not here beside me anymore
I walked in the woods to alter my mood
but what is aimless wandering to me
when you're not here beside me anymore
We used to be close
oh we could be again
but your long history of obnoxious outbursts weights me down
makes it harder to be supportive of you
I looked to the sea, to find some peace
but what is endless gazing to me
when you're not here beside me anymore
I walked in the woods to alter my mood
but what is aimless wandering to me
when you're not here beside me anymore

The Victorian Sinkhole
04:28
|
|||
|
Let's settle down here
but stepping into the norm
no, it won't make me whole
like when I lost all my friends
to the Victorian hole
now I'm all alone in your widowed house
I cannot see the future clear
except when it's a sunkissed highway
that is leading nowhere
And to see all my plans and life goals
destroyed in the great fire
So sad to watch my loved ones breaking down again
I don't know what I'm writing about
but it seems to be
about my selfish struggle again
someone wrote his lover's name in the wind
but it won't mean anything
when the world goes on without them
I cannot see the future clear
except that it's a foggy highway
that is leading nowhere
And then to see all my plans and life goals
destroyed in the great fire
and all my loved ones dying from terminal diseases again

Escapist Partisans
04:37
|
|||
|
they're burning all the righteous people
to the sound of the Free Design
in my dream, you and me could just shake our asses
to live just another day
to live just another day
to live just to see another day
Hope that they're gone, in the morning
One morning, sadness hit me so fast
far from the safe tourist passage, with my face looking scared
They're not taking any prisoners yet
but the soldiers ask way too many questions
no need to mention the structural coda
but you're making the same mistake again and again
yeah you can call us escapist partisans
but you're still making us mad
Hope that you're gone, in the morning
I'm fucking tired of all the posers
believing they can substitute
ideology with identity
just because they are too lazy to think

Ten Years
03:13
|
|||
|
stars falling again
in this endless suicide month
girlfriend tells me to wake up
soon I'll be throwing away this jacket
why don't you reinvent yourself
in the springtime
ten years from now, we'll be nostalgic about this day
ten years from now, we'll be different, still the same
in this totalitarian sea of ours
we're the obsolete species now that
everybody's living Lutheran lives
me I'm running out of work morale
there's just brutality at the horizon
another death sentence signed
Why do you even care
ten years ago, I was different still the same
like everyone else
ten years ago, I was such a youthful mess
blue-eyed and whimsical
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Traumatized Goods
03:55
|
|||
|
Everyone's a bitter know-it-all
destroying someone else's confidence
I just need one final salute
before I grow concerned
So take my hand now
I want to be near you all the time
My personal trauma is long gone
but the world is still failing all the time
why is it we think safety's created
by breeding more airheads
The younger generation grew up
faster than us
So take my hand now
I want to be near you all the time
My personal trauma is long gone
but the world is still failing all the time

A Sea of Fuckups
03:45
|
|||
|
You're not innocent
even though you sometimes seem good-hearted
writing down your poems
instead of participating
look outside, then move to your bed
the city is not in flames today
But I feel guilt too
so much that it clouds my path
makes it hard to see
all the possible doorways
they are almost within reach
but unviewable to my eyes
you see, it's all much too late for us
I'm not panicking
in this sea of fuckups
let's swim to the oily shoreline
let's switch to the grassy highlands
to take out the hysteria
to sort out the mighty impressions
But still I feel guilt
so much that it slows down my system
makes me hard to reach
all the possible doorways are within reach
but ungraspable to my hands
you see, it's all much too late for us

Porcelain Ducks
03:23
|
|||
|
Tuesday's fleeting, no objection
I'm the coldest mountain
still I'm free now to do what I want
and use up all your money
the car you drove was always red
I was your son far too long
still I'm free now to do what I want
and reject this sad device
If I want, you have no influence over me
only metaphysically
I'm free, but I could have used your advice
Lost to the endless sea of thousand wills
Lost to the raging freedom of one millennia soul
The porcelain ducks that you hated so much
Every object that I brought is ugly to your eyes
Still I really don't care that much
about dusty artifacts,
the memories managed to sting me
anyway

Chalet Saudade
05:09
|
|||
|
Down at the Metro, putting in my after work hours
I feel mildly deserted
staring down on my phone
to read the headlines
about the new world bosses
see, you were rich once
but now a flamboyant index finger is all I can see
leading your crypto-fascist army day and night
giving those hopeless people some light
I want to live in simpler stories
I heard a long time ago
now they feel obsolete, oh oh oh
I woke up to the harsh reality
and not to those stories
you told me long time ago
now I'm just confused
with age comes nothingness, it's clear to me
this life is not a fairytale
when you're good-hearted, you won't be rewarded
instead just ignored
but I can do with some gold coins
and a weak mind to exploit
then I would let him secure my gates
no needy beggars would enter my glorious estate
that place is all mine
but I wanted to believe...
in that romantic saga
that you told me long ago
but I can't no no no
I woke up to the harsh reality
and not to those rosy colors
I painted long ago
now I'm just confused, oh oh oh
with age comes a sense of nothingness
like I've embedded my heart in aluminum foil
I'm hunting grander views, ohohoh
to feel excited again
I want to drink myself to sleep
don't want to see the burning debris
they nearly destroyed us again
but I will live on to take it all in
