She ain't human
05:02
|

life's been hitting hard on her
even before she saw daylight
born with an addiction
she never had a chance to fight
her life is a small addition
to population statistics
and the ads shaping her decisions
are simply another business
she ain't human
no, she ain't a woman
she ain't human in this world
but she will carry on
says sometimes she feels so high
it's almost unbearable
but come bad days the sky is falling
she's empty and vulnerable
doctor said sorry its too late, yeah
but these pills can make it better
her life's most precious moments are just
consumer goods to deliver
her waist-hip ratio's patented
by a global corporation
research and development
invested for market return
lowly agent of a cruel world
struggling on the run
born with a malfunction
addicted to love

Without you
06:32
|

|
our story was the story
of the empty space between us
I was always hiding from you
the raw meat under my crust
now there is no release from
the accusation in your eyes
but I'm not meaning to hurt you
when I fall behind disguise
behind disguise
hiding in my shell that holds me
keeping away fear and pain
my emotions so far distanced
cannot reach me causing strain
my wall fills the space between
the ceiling and the naked floor
there is no one who could touch me
breaking my mind's little door
and still, I feel a strong need
to reach out, to find someone
somebody to stop me
from doing what I could have done
for it wasn't me, just my mind
who shut the door when you came
I didn't understand at all
but I have to take the blame
there's nothing left for me
to believe in, oh but anyway
I'm so weak alone, I can't go
to burn the whole world away
all living creatures must die
I'm no exception to the rule
it's only a lonely lifetime
I have to bear without you
without you
without you
without you

Insomnia blues
04:09
|

|
working on the night shift
livin' like an owl
can't tell you how many times
I've been to the liquor store
I've got it so bad so long
since she has bid farewell
all I got is a pair of sneakers
and a story to tell
when you're feeling good
there's always room to make it worse
just a tap on your shoulders
and your life starts playing in reverse
sitting at the table
eating French cuisine
haven't slept for days and days
and now it's just routine
floating round in circles
I feel my headache through the swirl
can't stand the pretentiousness of this
shop-window world

Naked words
08:11
|
|||
|
happy unhappiness
unproven usefulness
eternal loneliness
a new state of mind
my nerves are under stress
when life’s so meaningless
can’t stand pretentiousness
of any kind
hopeless days of apathy
beauty with no harmony
fighting without dignity
it all feels so bad
her last kiss bites into me
promises that cannot be fulfilled
untrue sympathy driving me mad
it’s only naked words
flowing out my head
a shivering touch of slow decay
feeling coldness in my bed
the memories vanish in the air
like we’ve never lived as one
what remains beyond despair
is empty life under the Sun
people running round and round
in circles and from up to down
they always fall without of sound
before my two eyes
no point in being found
like dusty footsteps on the ground, forgotten
totally unbound by past and present lies

Inches for cents

I'm a veteran of living
you're still in school
I'm perfect and amazing
you're just a fool
no matter what your friends say
your body's just my tool
so take it easy baby
and just play it cool
give up your ugly habit
of nosing how it's done
how everything I am
is all second to none
'cause now we all have it
set up for years to come
and that's why nobody's
talking to no one
I value my money
much more than your life
the girl of my dreams
is only black and white
your hot lips on my flesh
are just a substitute
sweet addiction
to a common prostitute

i. Evening
large groups of people in the city
they're only strangers in my territory
they come in waves all the time
y'know you're special in your conformity
so do what you're told now then come to me
standardized minds for controlled information
y'know you're special in your conformity
standardized minds for controlled information
standardized standardized standardized standardized
standardized minds
ii. Night
(instrumental)
iii. Dawn
lying awake sweating fears
in your codeine high
just wanted to fall asleep
now you're learning to fly

Die now, alone
04:01
|
|||
|
the leaves of the trees
in my garden are falling down
shadows of my mind are growing old
the feeling is so clear
I have to leave this town
burn down the house I won’t call home
standing on the outside
in the cold for years by now
looking in to see the happy faces
I just can’t tell
why I couldn’t be like them
and I don’t think you’d really care
always laughing too loud
with the boys in the band
my castles of happiness
slowly turned to sand
how glad I’d be to sell
my soul for a single kiss
and a loving touch
from someone I can’t miss
I know, this is all untrue –
but I still feel the pain
my skies won’t shine blue
I see the end of the game
all my forests turned to desert,
barbed wire, and stone
I want to die now
I need to die now
please, let me die now,
alone

Prayer a-no-no
04:57
|
|||
|
fill my ears with screams of violence
fill my eyes with sights of blood
could I ever run away from you
if you hit me from above?
fill my mind with evil deathwish
fill my heart with emptiness
trade a sea of selfish anger
for my cup of happiness
do what you please, I'm standing here
reach out with all your power
holding the aces in my hand
here I am, here I am, here I am, here I am
climbing the hills of my little wasteland
I could never get much higher
and this really ain't a prayer
a-no-no, a-no-no, a-no-no, a-no-no
fill my mouth with taste of dying
send me out on shifting sands
make my skin look dead and gray
with dirt I can't wipe off my hands
give me everlasting fever
sickness filling up my brain
only so much is your power
as much it makes me feel the pain
fill my soul with open-mindness
fill my heart with all true love
I could never run away from you
when you hit me
you striked me
you made me feel alone
from above

You are on my mind
05:22
|
|||
|
you are on my mind
long since you had gone
all those things surrounding me
that we had left undone
the words spinning in my head
I was longing to say
but never had the nerve to tell
and now you're far away
you are on my mind all this time
you are on my mind
you are on my mind
how I miss you all this time
you are on my mind
having such a wonderous time
playing jokes on all those lies
about big boys playing big games
in the big playground of life
little space between our eyes
our two hands fit together
it felt so good but I knew
this couldn't last forever
sometimes I get a feeling
I should go out and get you
but I know it's better to stay behind
my words won't come out right
from the moment I see you
your eyes would make me hypnotized
you are on my mind all this time
you are on my mind
don't close your eyes, I want to see them
see your beautiful eyes
something that I'm sure will stay
as seasons come and go
I'll always recall these days
and still love you so
you are on my mind
how I missed you all this time
you are on my mind
don't close your eyes, I want to see them
see your beautiful eyes
see your beautiful eyes
see your beautiful eyes
