Let them ring

Seen from the distance, so back in time
It looked like all the rage
Was floating down the line
Woke up this morning and couldn’t breathe
A stranger’s body aching inside of me
You are trying to reach where
No one should risk
No such a thing as luck for you and me
It s not enough to be, Honest and clean
You have to look the part, don’t play it mean
Please let them ring for thee.
Aware of where we come from,
Afraid of who we are
Trouble is on time. Arrived without a lead/leash
The dog is having fun so let it be.
It took me 50 years to feel this free
You used to mean so much to me
No sympathy, no empathy
Please let them ring for thee.

Drag me out & take me down
Where the pain goes numb
Bitter/sweet home.
Why can’t you just go to sleep?
I think it’s time for you to surrender.
Is always a great relieve
When silence takes over this house.
And while the world tumbled down I came stronger.
Why have I been cursed like this?
Honestly.
Stop being so cruel to me.
You are giving free rein to all of my anger.
Your body language is a bitch.
Let’s lose the war and find some peace.
And when you’re praying for a time out
It sweeps you over.
Here is where you want to spend
The rest of your life
Drag me out & take me down
Where the pain goes numb
Bitter/sweet home.

hidden intentions
03:44

Who were you hiding from at the roof top?
At night, not even your shadow could find you
Your secret will be safe, if you want me to.
Won’t tell, won’t watch, won’t touch.
I was so proud of you back then
And here I came looking for that look.
I resisted comforting you in the burial scene.
I couldn’t help but imagining the herd will be there.
With their bloody knives and sharp tongues ready
To unveil my hidden intentions.
After brother passed away
I thought I could turn back the time
And draw some blood out of the stone
I threw at your roof so long ago.
I found out you didn’t grow old as gracefully
As you did in my dreams.
You can’t beat the old memories
How great was to be forgotten
How brave to remain here.
He stopped for a second at the door
To accommodate his eyes to the new lighting.
He wished he could remember everyone’s name
So he didn’t have to wave and scream “hi!”
To every passing shadow.
Wondered were the saddest street of town would led him
It was just a matter of time or hitting the road
The weightless wonder of the world
Occupied the best seat by the throne
Looking grateful and proud
For the hours well spent in your arms
For the numbing of the pain
I’d rather take your place
Like a body snatcher could
I’d swallow your soul like a beast.

decadence
04:55

You’re in, I’m out, I kiss the ground.
We crash and burn, ashes from love.
The good times rolled, the present is gross.
He is clinging to his better days.
Tried so hard to fall in style.
The decadence, you wear it well.
But all your clothes are torn and frayed.
Your paradise. You parasite
Don't drag me back to those times.
Don't want to choke on your old demands.
I explicitly told you that I rather live for today
Come out, come out, I’m doing the rounds
Playing again to lost and found
I explicitly told you that I rather live underground
To camouflage from solitude, you built a forest, a curfew.
You’d rather drown in your own pool of sorrow.
You’re paralysed from the brain down
Nothing makes sense when you are around.
The future fled, you couldn’t care less.
Hope you find some inner peace.
Don't drag me back to those times.
Don't want to choke on your old demands.
I explicitly told you that I rather live for today
Come out, come out, I’m doing the rounds
Playing again to lost and found
I explicitly told you that I rather live underground

please deliver
05:37

You remind me of someone
I barely knew back then
You are bringing back the times
When I fell between the cracks.
I will turn a blind eye to the pictures overload.
Covering all in sweetness until my head falls off
Have you consider to drain the river
Saints and sinners,
Please consider to deliver.
Drain the river, Saints and sinners
Please consider to deliver.
Climbing up a mountain
With a rose tinted skin.
Burning down memories
From a colour magazine
Saving up the courage
To get lost among the crowd.
Got a lot to swallow
Following the masses in disguise.
Have you consider to drain the river
Saints and sinners,
Please consider to deliver.
Drain the river, Saints and sinners
Please consider to deliver.

One can only began to wonder
Why the windows are always shut
When no one answer to the calls
From the fans parked outside her home
Why all the infatuation?
Refused to move out of her lawn.
Who is that scary ghost on your shoulders?
Clenching his teeth when I dare to smile
You live your life attached to devices
Those who make you feel so free
Why all that information?
Corrupting you down to the bones
Emotionally attached to the hustler
The adulteress always gets what she wants
If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be here
If I wasn’t here where would you go?
Run, run towards the station
The bells are calling out your name

the greatest

My favourite pain is always the strongest
It makes me forget the lesser strains
It usually crawls while I’m not sleeping
She welcomes my night and makes herself home
When I’m at my lowest she pushes the buttons
I learned how to sing at her magical song
Nothing I can do will distract her from her goal
I’m glad that she found a puppet like me
You trigger something inside so hard to describe
Come close for a dance
Let me be your pretender
I am going to great lengths to keep you company
Until you change your mind
Or you come to your senses…
