Gone To Sleep
04:23

Without too much thought
I had put a dot
To say goodbye the least
But the sentence stopped
I had gone to sleep
There’s a full moon dying before my eyes
There’s blue and twinkles and fireflies
I’m thinking of tears and finishing beers
It’s time to mourn my best friend for years
There’s a duel with time
Going on inside
I close my eyes and there I lie
Everything breathes and
Down drip little footsteps
On my sleeve
Hear my blood, my flow
From far to here
A distant cry erupts
From deep within
A drumbeat inside
Is deafening my ears
Never stop to ponder
Why you came to be
There’s a black wolf crying at midnight
There’s a mist descending, soft light
I’m lifted up and I’m floating away
It’s time to mourn my best friend today
Without too much thought
I had put a dot
To say goodbye the least
But the sentence stopped
I had gone to sleep

All Whistled Out
03:30
|
|||
|
You know
I had a dream
And in that dream
I broke my teeth
By cracking them
Like a grindstone does
And out came then
Glimmering in blood
All my teeth
That I had since young
And I was scared
And I had pain
But I couldn’t stop
My repeating jaws
Molding my teeth
To a bloody pulp
My eyes became then
Whiter than white
As if they were
Bursting with light
And the thickness around
Held me down
So sadistically tight
Why couldn’t I cry?
Why was no one around?
What had silenced me out?
Could I have gone
Inside out?
I’m all whistled out

Stuck In A Box
02:32
|
|||
|
Stuck in a box
No funeral for dogs
No eyes of wise
To say I’m ill
My smile is lost
No effort at all
Soft brewing consciousness
Through a telephone call
Lament for the self
A tear at your cost
It seems simple to tell
To live life for health
Can a birth be bought?
To dive under
To hide from wonder
To feel it’s okay
To breathe the water
I can turn away
Maybe a corner
Maybe the same still
Listen to the warning
Listen to the voices
The upcoming border
Past streams of water
Past the trees of old
The bricks and the mortar
Where is sweetness
And full time to court her?
Where have you gone?
To the Isle of Wonder?
Following hoarse whispers
In a dialogue of rye?
To dive under
To hide from wonder
To feel it’s okay
To breathe the water
I can turn away
Maybe a corner
Maybe the same still
Can you catch me please?
I don’t want to die
Can you catch me please?
I don’t want to die

Empty seats
Empty bed
Empty bottles
Empty head
I wish, I wish
Empty seats
Empty bed
Empty bottles
Empty head
I wish, I wish
Clear blue in her eyes
Hair glisters and shines
A body of music
A soulmate divine
Empty seats
Empty bed
Empty bottles
Empty head
I wish, I wish
Always thinking
Endless streams
Of words and phrases
Thoughts and cravings
For you
My Unknown You
Empty seats
Empty bed
Empty bottles
Empty head
I wish, I wish
Can I program tomorrow?
Can I make my day?
Can I make it perfect?
Just for one day?
Give me my song
Give me my beat
Give me my rhythm
Make me complete
Empty seats
Empty bed
Empty bottles
Empty head
I wish, I wish

Track him down and beat him up
Track him down and beat him up
Sixteen lies
They’re all gonna break you
Sixteen lies
They’re all gonna take you
Sixteen lies
No one is gonna save you
Sixteen lies
They’re all gonna break your bones
They’re all gonna break your bones
Track him down and beat him up
Track him down and beat him up

Not Yours
03:14
|
|||
|
You shouldn’t have been there
You shouldn’t have stayed
It wasn’t yours to take
It wasn’t yours to break
Your legacy is hate
You feed it to your kids
Almost everyday
Sprinkled on their flakes
And mixed in their drinks
You speak of peace
But all you preach is hate
In a game of chess
Death doesn’t matter
God will clean up the mess
Isn’t that right?
Isn’t that rawhide?
You’re a bunch of hypocrites
With books, psalms; old limericks
Killing for bits of land
where the ancient used to stand
Can’t stop believing
This mantra in my head
Are you the one messiah
Can you make us all go mad?
How to drink a stone
And blow air into our bones?
Can you go and find me horror
And help me kill my brother?
You shouldn’t have been there
You shouldn’t have stayed
It wasn’t yours to take
It wasn’t yours to break
You’re writing your graffiti
On the skulls of our dead
You’re pissing in our kitchens
And aiming for our heads
In a game of chess
Death doesn’t matter
Cause God will clean up the mess
Isn’t that right
Isn’t that right
Isn’t that rawhide
Isn’t that right
Isn’t that right
Isn’t that rawhide

The Morning Paper
02:27
|

In the morning paper
Many people die
In the morning paper
People get deep fried
In the morning paper
Truth becomes a lie
The morning paper
Makes everybody cry
In the morning paper
Organ murder money
In the morning paper
Beauty blown up, ripped up
In the morning paper
Sexy kids on sale
The morning paper
Makes a conscious dark & pale
In the morning paper
Many weeping songs
In the morning paper
Many laments and poems
In the morning paper
Paper cuts the stone
The morning paper
Pumps poison in your bones
In the morning paper
I rarely see my eyes
In the morning paper
I won’t make up my mind
In the morning paper
Realities’ fantasy
The morning paper
Will never let you be
In the morning paper
The world comes to be
In the morning paper
There’s everything you see
In the morning paper
The future is history
The morning paper
Just loves humanity

Straight Off The Tracks
04:34
|

|
Going around the tracks
Straight off the tracks
Straight off the tracks
On a merry-go-round
Going ‘round West
Going ‘round West
Going you don’t look back
You don’t look back
You don’t look back
So there you go
It spins inside
Your worried mind
Your sorrowed heart
You don’t know how
To get it right
You try to go here
You try to go there
You’re running blind
You’re choosing wild
You’ve got grey hairs
In just one night
So there you go
And you don’t know
You cannot hide
What goes on inside
On a merry-go-round
Going ‘round West
Going ‘round West
Rolling of the track
Straight off the tracks
Straight off the tracks
What if you’re going
Around the track?
What if you’re going
Without looking back?
What if you’re there
Don’t know how to get back?
What if you just do
What you think of next?
What if you’re mad
And you don’t know that?
What if you’re thinking
Instead you’re just rolling
Straight off the tracks?
Straight off the tracks?

Chinese Doctor

Hey Chinese doctor
Put some needles into me
Hey Chinese doctor
Give me some electricity
Hey Chinese doctor
Won’t you feel my pulse
What’s wrong with me
My toe is twitching
Involuntarily
Better not move
With that metal in me
Better not think
Too explosively
Hey Chinese doctor
Take your needles out
Hey Chinese doctor
What do you know now?
Did you see inside?
Deep down in my mind?
Seeing secrets, seeing my stride
Did you cross the river
My first defense line?
Did you go left or right?
What was the temperature like?
Hey Chinese doctor
Don’t you tell no one
Hey Chinese doctor
Don’t play with your life
Hey Chinese doctor
Make my body revive
Hey Chinese doctor
Thanks for your time

The Path Of Mad
04:04
|
|||
|
I am not doing my best
I am not going as fast
I am not doing my best
I am not right in the head
Tilt me upright
Help me up the down
Wash my eyes out
And shave my frown
Point me west
And remind me to all
What, what is my best
I try to be good
I try to be bad
Like Johnny B Good
And Johnny B Bad
But I am not doing my best
I repeat my days
To the letter exact
I drink my beers
And then go down flat
Can you do me a favor?
Smile and waver. Make me think
I am your savior. I can do you good
As in good brotherhood
Please take my hand
for sure you will understand
I do not flow
I stutter
Am not a brave man
I only flutter
Following streams down below
Past the butchers, past the crows
I promise you now; we will leave our foes
We are going to wherever we go
Down, down, down, down
The path of mad
Down, down, down, down
The path of mad

Hurricane Heart Attack
04:15

I came home in a hurricane heart attack
I came home in a hurricane heart attack
Curtains drawn, cats flying around my head
Curtains drawn, cats flying around my head
I came home in a hurricane heart attack
I came home in a hurricane heart attack
Skin is torn, blood streams off my back
Skin is torn, blood streams off my back
I came home
I came home
I came home
I went down, my body went cold so cold
I went down, my body went cold so cold
I went down, my body went cold so cold
I came down, I came down, I came down
I came down
I came down in a hurricane heart attack
I came down in a hurricane heart attack
I came down in a hurricane heart attack
