Short Cuts
hands trembling / rusting veins
feverish dreams / i see myself from above
bitter cold / frozen tears
all love / brings fear
we had nothing / we had nothing to fear
the world was silent / a whisper, load rc.heaven
skies burning / still keep your dreams alive
civilized, pixelized / tumbling down, hitting rock
smashed down / hammered down
it'll heal / it'll never heal

shine shimmer autumn day / a broken steel wing
structures folding / it will never it will never be ok

nothing here is for real
nothing here is for real and that's a great relief to me

all things are lies to me / get high and you will see
it's the the missing key / to understand it all

and the empty fame / from a written name
you see / all the pictures
made to look the same

a lingering presence / memories' essence
strangled cries / hands tied
it's your last time / never did it but now it's done

it was love that i felt for you
it was love, not hate, that is true

soothing darkness / open eyes
the room expanding / to its infinite size
let it go, let it be / break your shackles now
and live free

a ladder shaped from dreams / all smoke or so it seems
an arch made of marble flesh / its architecture blindingly perfect
a smell and taste ever so fresh / brings me to the surface
me and myself / blind for everything else


Under the Gun
nowhere to hide / the ink has dried
you agreed to the covenant / no time for fear
you signed
now death is a ride away
reach the sky / clad in steel
you're going down in flames
you'll get your name / on a tag
last sleep in a plastic bag

take action / launch the mission
join the party of the imbecile
raise your fist for law and order
the mind suffocates under your gun

oh so righteous / religious asshole
the system's going down
you fucking hicks / waving flags
fear of freedom / burning books
there's no god above man / fool the masses into ignorance
cannibalize on their minds / grow fat on their innocence

forced to follow / right hand path
no alternatives / there's no free will
fatalist / no ambition
watching the world go by
breaking free / from our bondage
realize that we're ruled by the weak
revolution / upcoming battle
you see, you are fighting yourself


Headless
let myself down again / unintended words
took nothing from the past / rewind and repeat
backed into a corner / clutching the blade
soon it's all too late / remove myself

insane, I'm torn apart / sane, I'm torn apart

one by one they shun me / my faults exposed
know I can turn it round / they distrust
too much pain already / administered by me
again I blame the ghost / I keep inside

that's me in the mirror / that's me on the floor
why do I differ so / I search myself
now a cold wind blows / in this dark room
will I ever leave here / close my eyes
			
			
Tell-tale Art
a thousand lights / a cold glare
whispered secrets / skin laid bare
icy needles / from a darkened sky
scream inside / a chilling cry

in my chest / black as tar
hides my heart / beaneath the scar
of betrayal / for lust for love
for all my sins no solution thereof

tainted light / white as sin
penetrates / piercing skin
all too frail / the flesh gives in
the meat puppet / cuts his strings

they show you pictures / scene after scene
so instructive / so obscene
infiltrate / reality
an aquired / insanity

unwanted gift / cut it away
redirect your hate / another way
regain control / a cleansing breath
trembling hands / no more death


Generic Warmth
the void in me / i  filled with synthesized dreams
surrended by people / who knew my needs
but when i met you / my hunger stopped
all my problems / trimmed and cropped

i couldn't stop you / i feel so low
a new hedonism / shoot it up and let go
you are the perfect drug / your bodywarmth
the perfect fix / now undress and let go

you were the only one / i ever wanted
now i'm on the floor / wrecked and haunted
i cure myself / i revive myself
i hit myself / to prove oneself
drift aimlessly / filled up with grief
all falls apart / in disbelief

now i bought my dreams back / sedated again
a little something / to keep me sane
but i know / there's another cure
a perfect drug / and that's a fix of you


CNN of Worms
the prophet had a weak heart / singing 'bout a woman giving birth
cameras on, cameras off / it's on the news today

JIHAD-e-ho, JIHAD-e-hi

can of worms, flickering can of words

it's on the news today, network competition
red, green, blue, dedicated vision
dogma chanted through hypnotising colours
commercial junk made to kill the hours

now he's reporting from a heaven near you
headline, headline, headline, headline, empty headline
tumbling down the stream, pencil, notebook, dream
open up, serene
