Hey there
05:31
|
|||
Hey there! is it empty here? I'm needing help
Hey there! anyone here? nor anywhere?
Hey there! where have you gone? I'm all alone...
someone bets your face behind the shades
as you let our lives go by, do you?
and I guess your laughing eyes on us
letting men eat men down in the dirt
and I guess your laughing eyes on us
Hey there! can't you see the world is falling down

The gutters
04:39
|
|||
Rotten down into the bone
hypocrite and cheating men
all your words they have no sense
spitted straight into our face
from your shiny studio lights
fake the world and blind the eye
standing here you cannot see
how it is the upper world
can you guess just how it is
to stare at the gutters from above?
fucked up with all the lies
and all the promises they make
dog eat dog that’s all we get
no one aching for respect
standing here you cannot see
how it is the upper world
they will try to push your head
as we’re fighting down below

untimely untie me untimely untie me untimely untie me untimely
I am complicit in my own undoing.
like a pressed kiss in the eros of lament
like juicy dicta dappled with frayed verité
like buttery straps of raspy dalliance
sip the vestments of purring whim and
bathe me in pressed torment
come cumulous and come kneeling
in the pressed crests caresses of curled succulence,
kissed consequence
licking the slippery lilt of silty risk
Come noumenal, come blind, blanketed
sucking polyphony through orchids’eros fascicles folios
the flesh of messy vectors
lay your language in bended saddle
and meet me in the vestibules of tented telling
in le cirque of matted nuance.
through swerved syllables
swooped bias ribboned in raging privation
come messy, mellifluous in the unfair footing,
in the intransigence of wet pursuit.

Grey
05:01
|
|||
When times are bitter
grey's the colour of the skies
unhealthy pale skins
tall dark shadows walk the night
unfriendly glances
sad eyes staring at the ground
the condemnation seems to be eternal
a fear of speaking
in the mouths of those who talk
as the ears
of all the enemies unfold
you'd better look over your shoulders, man!
somehow the feeling still remains
and you must learn to cope with it
someway these clutches bite your skin
the scars they leave won't go away
Someday your hope is to be free
deep down your heart knows it's not real
when every colour has been drained
only grey will light your days

Developing solutions
05:43
|
|||
Don't you ever feel a prisoner locked inside a well of souls?
sorely disappointed in the way the things go on
deceive yourself you do the choice overlooking ties and knots
developing solutions
at least to fill the void you sense
desire for a better life
dreaming of a world that don't exist
you should find new ways of living
not afraid for what you'll leave behind
and cease to follow men's rules
that's harder than you know, and you won't…
developing solutions
not afraid for what you'll leave
developing solutions
that's harder than you know

Come together
04:08
|
|||
The silhouettes around
are here for my embrace
they have a different plan
and means to use my hands
their gold that makes them shine
is shown for us to dream
it’s easy to get fooled
if you’ve got holes inside of you
call it like whatever you want
that won't change a thing
if you were born on the wrong side of life
everything is calculated
nothing comes for free
anything’s considered fully by nature
nothing comes by chance
everything is calculated
nothing comes by chance
everything is calculated
nothing comes for free
anything’s considered fully by nature
(nothing comes by chance)

I want to escape from this land
that i don’t recognize as my home anymore
the colours of things become monsters
that fight and shout in my head
that swallow thoughts to bridge the abyss
the sound of things becomes a river in full
I want to escape from this land
that i don’t recognize as my home anymore
I would like to change skin over and over again…

Please
05:34
|
|||
See the blinking of the city lights
as you dwell in darkness here
face the demons that surround your life
beat ‘em back from where they came
keep an eye upon the life of those
mess around in big machines
hopeless slaves with different gods to pray
in a state with no escapes
we all fear the taste of liberty
weeping in our comfort zone
full of lies and joyless choices done
just to please somebody else
and pretend it’s not your fault

Rat Race
07:24
|
|||
we lead this rat race
with no end and without prize
worthless efforts
in the hope of a better life
should we know how
and prepare our souls to part?
while we’re running
someone else will get the gain
rats inside a sinking cage
we’re heading nowhere else but here
can’t you see the signs?
we lead this rat race
rats inside a sinking cage

Lost in time
07:56
|

You can tell from how they move and talk
they are not a different kind
and the same red blood flows in their veins
‘cause they are not a different kind
as in the end we will all turn to dust
we are not a different kind
just remember...
so should we all share the same destiny?
‘cause everyone’s a different kind
not the same thoughts not the same minds
everyone’s a different kind
and who is better and who is worse than us?
everyone’s a different kind
please remember...
