NEW VIDEO "PEACE OF MIND"

I don’t belong you’ve got it wrong
I don’t belong you’ve got me wrong
Don’t wanna shine in the headlight Get overlooked in the dark
Sink in the quiet night
Or be an obtrusive trademark
I don’t belong to the good ones My shirt is plastic not clean/green I don’t wanna be done
Resign and join the machine

Disappointed
06:39

I’m so disappointed
I believed in the weight of the word
I believed that they will be heard
I believed justice will be served
Don’t believe in the weight of the word
What goes around, comes around, nothing ever comes back round I’m so disappointed
I’m afraid of the weight of the world I’m afraid of the ways of the earth Fear the fall of the unturned
I’m afraid of the unconcerned
What goes around, comes around, nothing ever comes back round Get your both hands on the ground, nothing ever comes back round
And do you hope that you still gonna find it? And do you hope that you make it big?
And do you hope that your life gets perfected? And do you hope that this is it?
Goes around comes around, nothing ever comes back round
And I’m still waiting for your mail And I’m still keeping up my tail
And I’m still chasing the white whale And I’m still horrified to fail
And I’m still waiting for your call And I still feel so very small
And still I’m standing in the hall
A number no one seems to call And every once and now and then I’m setting sail again
And every once and now and then I’m disappointed in the end

Coffee in Teacups
02:54
|
|||
|
I’m dull and yes I am faulty
I’m not the best human version of me So you seemingly take me apart
Cause you’re all just so goddamn smart
But you’re so cold So controlled
It’s only getting worse
Too proud there’s no reverse Asperse, asperse
And nobody likes coffee in teacups If a mind is already made up
And precision is lightly dismissed If you’re better, because you insist
But you don’t hear I’m not unclear
Why don’t you hear? I am clear
It’s only getting worse
Too proud there’s no reverse It’s only getting worse Asperse, asperse

Dear Sister
03:48

Dear sister in awe to you
Cause after all you made it through The first row’s always occupied
And your fist is raised prepared to fight There’s a fire in your eyes
A ground that I can never find
We’re so different, it’s detailed
But united should we stand or fail
While some bought houses to get rich You won’t bend over, bribe dismissed While I got weary, I got cold feet
You still kept marching on the street „We’ve got nothing but oursleves to fight“ You said when pigs with sticks ran wild When chief pig said „all is safe“
Your slingshot took already aim
A hint of pride, of admiration
You’re not benumbed by sheer frustration When a rich, bold man declared
We’re all the same and treated fair
On, rades on
Struggle on
A call to arms
A hopeless task
Sincerely yours, forever yours
A scared one, a concerned one

In an act of innocence he cuts him out his life
Some big idea of that big idea, a dream to leave behind Scribblings of false prophecies of long disproven tales Takes his guitar, takes his honesty and at dawn, a new day
In an act of naitivity he declares to struggle on
He scrawls down his poetry and at night drinks at Old John’s
He opens up his heart and soul but no one understands
His father’s Gibson trashed and sold, he is wading through quicksand
And when they met, he drunk, she dressed in black He hoped to steer, clear, no regrets
And call it thrilling, call it infectious he burns them up at both ends He fails to divide affections and he fails to make amends
„Safe me darling, safe me“, is all he has to say
And as he gulps another due tear, unknowingly stuck in foul play
And when he struggles he’s close to quit
He stems the effort, convinced he does his bit
And in his failure and his guilt, he takes a train to bruges
He strays all day, boots capped in filth, numbs his sore feet with booze „And what’s the use of romanticism?“, if it doesn’t even feel right
Get some idea of that big idea and then he calls her late at night
And as she struggles, she’s close to leave A selfish wager, art and grief
And as he scruffs through his belongings, throws out his warning bills with rage Hopes to perceive some silver lining, but all he finds a white blank page
„How goddamn stupid“, he cries out, to cut him out his life
„And all my proclamations, they make no sound and no one’s reading what I write
And though I try so hard to keep it up, I’m never satisfied
And though I stumble, I fall, I try to stop“ aware but occupied And it’s a story of regret, a story told a thousand times
He’s chasing dragons until the sun is set, new day, a dawn, a light

But Still
07:06
|

Despise your imperfections, I love you indiscretion But still
It’s all that desperation, it’s all that devastation
But still, it’s all we have
A lack of destination, a lack of explanation
But still
So small the compensation, don’t feel no obligation
But still
And at the end a lttle light, in all that dark it’s hard to find But still
It took some time to realize, that there is nothing otherwise But still
It’s all we have
The day is saved it’s bowling night Another click so little likes Another vice you left behind
A riot night a payrise fight
A reformation little change
Guys got pissed things won’t change A hopeless state in a hopeless state Too little, too late

Powerless
04:22
|
|||
|
A fatal urge to live
A surplus fot the rich
A hopeless drive to work A prayer in a church
A bird up in the sky A craving to get high A presence of regress Powerless
A life full of delays Thrilling and deranged A presence so depressed Powerless
Nights not to forget Nights full of regret A presence of success
Powerless
Take it as it is: a momentary bliss Take it as it is

I’m waiting for progression
A stage keeps passing by
I’m waiting for this forward look
To stop now all my life
And I chase, I chase things I can’t change I play, must play along in rage
Don’t I try hard enough TIK TOK
I’m still waiting, I’m struggling on Beginnings seek an end
The journey is the gift they say But will I ever reach some land And I run, I run it’s almost done But once I’m on, already gone
Don’t I try hard enough TIK TOK

Something a blameless whisper From way down in the hole Mirage of a false sister
A leash I just can’t hold
At it lurks when I’m asleep And it lurks when I am weak A push push push to sleep
A pressed cry for release
And I can’t stand the violence And I can’t stand the pride And I can’t stand the anger And I can’t stand the lies
But it comes
Don’t bend the knee
I wonder is this him or is it me?
Are two apart or are two yet a team? Don’t wanna fight, have peace of mind Not yet I’m free, don’t bend the knee
Something an evil whisper „I want to take control“
A brute, a shady mister Something I just can’t hold
And I can’t stand the pressure And I can’t stand the hate And I can’t stand the failure And I can’t stand the rage But it comes
Don’t bend the knee
I wonder is this him or is it me?
Are two apart or are two yet a team? Don’t wanna fight, be whole inside Not yet I’m free, don’t cut the leash
