hey there
are you
falling
asleep again
while the sky is falling down
on us
we need
you to
go out again
because someone needs to take the fall
throw yourself to the lions for us
we don't even need to know your name
it is like it always has been
and we will keep it that way
no matter what
we say
you do
as god
intended
everything is in it's place
the pawn
must fall
to save
the king
otherwise it all falls down
throw yourself to the lions for us
we don't even need to know your name
it is like it always has been
and we will keep it that way
no matter what
you are not our kind
you are not our kind
you are not our kind
so we don't mind
you are not our kind
you are not our kind
you are not our kind
so we don't mind

floating in the air
whatever got me,
got me here
beady eyed and faded
we're leaving
once more
far above it all
out of context
out of time
pulled apart by horses
pestilence
roams the lands
we'll keep on falling
down the same old rabbithole
like little broken machines
a billion different ghosts
confused and oblivious
somewhere in between
colors and shapes
in silence
people are aware but
not bothered
that much
we'll keep on falling
down the same old rabbithole
like little broken machines
a billion different ghosts
confused and oblivious

take what you want from me
thank god we're happy
it is impossible to know
pay attention, learn, compare
I thought I had this
the sky might come down any day
we just keep our heads
above the water
and on our shoulders
for now
it's all that we can do
drone out the voices
and in the silence
we persevere
hear ourselves apologize
over and over
for nothing in particular
resolve to consonance
in the end
one way or another
we just keep our heads
above the water
and on our shoulders
for now
it's all that we can do
drone out the voices
and in the silence
we persevere

leave

please don't call again
you're on your own now
no need to make a scene
so don't lose your nerve
you should move on now
godspeed
we all made our peace with your absence
we were all just doing fine
so please, just leave us be
this ain't your home anymore
and if you ever show your face again
I will come for you
you will never be a problem again
because I will hunt you down
I will hunt you down
I will hunt you down

of course you're not around
and life is so much easier now
you just tore everything down
and I appreciate your determination
you burned it to the ground
the ashes will fertilize the soil
and maybe something new will grow
you just won't be a part of it anymore,
I suppose
we could have been better than this
you're just like everyone else
all those pretty words
tears in the rain
I should have known better this time
I chose to ignore all the signs
I chose to believe one more time
building our cities on
the slopes of mount vesuvius
and yet I thought for us
it would be somehow different
just because
I don't know
we could have been better than this
you're just like everyone else
all those pretty words
tears in the rain
I should have known better this time
I chose to ignore all the signs
I chose to believe one more time

ashes

ashes
floating
inaudible vibrations in the walls
weird cracks
in the ceiling
I think we'll all go down together soon
hold on to this
shred of purpose
and meaning
for a little longer
choking your way
up the ladder again
like always
my heart beats
the head aches
the piercing taste of metal in my mouth
mistrust
a handshake
and all we are is barely in control
hold on to this
shred of purpose
and meaning
for a little longer
choking your way
up the ladder again
like always
scream your little lungs out
no one will ever notice you
no one will ever bother to
cry your little eyes out
no one will ever notice you
no one will ever care

someone different
03:35
|
|
||
|
a few more lies
as it all slowly starts to come apart at the seams
and we wander through the desert and
we'll forget all the names we know
so it goes
woke up as someone different
it's not my fault
we're in another world
its not my fault
some more words
as it all comes down on us again
once again
and we all just followed blindly
as we jumped into the river again
once again
woke up as someone different
it's not my fault
we're in another world
its not my fault
its not my fault

circles
03:27
|
|

|
shine a light in the silence,
how it all became to be
barely even noticed it, that time
guided by the storys that were told
predefined declarations
here is what we ought to feel
tremors in the basement, once again
feeling the walls bend out of shape
how long will we carry on like this
caught in the same loops
running cirlces
we tend to seek whats familiar,
the soothing smell of recognition
because there is no place like home
when we're walking on the moon
how long will we carry on like this
caught in the same loops
running cirlces

what's happening here?
what am I supposed to say?
all we do is smile and stare
as we're slipping away
who shall I call?
can't follow the procedure
someone alert the authorities
there might be a problem
we're not here for participation
we just came to complain once again
what did you see?
judge, jury and execution
we're tearing at the spiderwebs
to lure it out
we are no longer taking part,
we just came to talk you out of it
we're looking forward to the day they'll put you down
all will be forgiven when everything is done
the way it went
will be the way it goes
when everything is said and done
we'll meet again
What did you think would happen ?
we have to cut away what's dead
we're looking forward to the day they'll put you down
all will be forgiven when everything is done

killing jar
03:38

so high above the clouds
underneath it's way too loud
and all will be forgiven when it is forgotten
one way in and no way out
nothing to complain about
we sold tommorow for a little peace of mind
and all the birds will be singing
a new dawn will rise again
bonfires made of lobbyists and bankers
burning down the advertising agencies
a den of thieves, a killing jar
we let the liars come too far
you have to know how to swim in a melting world
anything to calm the noise
always a convenient choice
manufactured consensus reality
and all the birds will be singing
a new dawn will rise again
bonfires made of lobbyists and bankers
burning down the advertising agencies
