Trash Mountains

slow motion tragedy,
watching it getting out of hand
so slowly but steady
try not to think about it today
a running system you would never change
piled up for other days
an obscure bitter end is lying in wait
There's no escape
in bed you're lying awake
still cogniciding thoughts of yesterday
trash mountains covered with courtains
when will you throw it all away
let's have a drink in honor of the thiefs
washed ashore in tomorrows days

jamming all these plans into sand molds
your old enough now, go pick your role
no time for advice that bores me to death
or filling speech balloons with stuff that's already been said
now you let yourself put off from day to day
til you realize no brandnew shrink-wrapped life is gonna wait
til it gets to late
with a routine sucking you dry
and no time to enjoy all the shit you can buy
welcome to the rat race, it's too late to retrace
a flask in your side pocket, the heart on the right side
was there something you have called home?
something you had in store that kept you from feeling 'lone?
you keep coming back to the place it was buried alive
you keep coming back each and every night
busy, busy, got stuff to do
so many roads you could have fret your shoes
and you wonder who lead you into this time machine
man, the offender and the victim are closer than they seem

this to-do-list wont stop blinking in bright big letters like in a game show
i cant sleep with alarm clocks ringin, i keep trying, so lets go
i try not to become a pack rat, so i throw away old letters and postcards
too many photos of you in here, so i divest of them and keep just one
days, weeks and years and new years parties
i wonder will you trash old pictures of me too?
maybe thats what you should do
a lonesome facepalm ain't a confession, but i trade tact for warmth, sometimes
we're all playing it so cool and serene, is this growing up or is this dying?
i wish you knew that you still make me nervous, but it doesnt matter anyways
the world is bigger than my tongue and wrapping squandered chances round my neck
days, weeks and years and new years parties
i spent some time somewhere with some guys i used to know
it's good to know when to go
whats left behind the curtains?
noone knows in which order you should disclose your truth,
or aint it just lies, well,
maybe its both and yet it does't help us further at all

Better Action
02:11

i've been chewing this stale same old gum
spitting it out right here all in front
of you nodding your head to all this besoting bullshit
hey chimp, if you're tame you'll get snacks for your tricks
just the degenerating lame ass game that you don't wanna quit
looking out for some better action
got no direction, we are going nowhere fast
quicksand is soaking me up
are we all growing unresponsive for our real needs?
does it come from what's inside of the hand that feeds?
yeah it makes you wanna bite it
stupid kid, renegade, labelled as a freak
the in and outs and endless doubts, we need an alternative

Alienation Blues
02:16
|
|||
it seems like it becomes
more frequent, that i think that sun
glasses between you and me operate antiphlogistic
just sweep for meanings
every joke you laugh about leaves some tea leaves waiting to be read by you
so should it all come out?
there's nothing we could do
we cant get out
alienation blues
raise your head above the poppy field
oh so confused
draw maps, tilt at windmills
wake up elsewhere and get the thrill
let wet paint bawl along the walls, like moles digging their holes
microbiosomic masterplan, perform an autopsy for every second passing by
try to sound smart and shit, clouds coming out of your mouth, dying in the wind
pretending its not stupid
pretending it is nice
and aint it such a low price
you can have it
we can't get out
it's the alienation blues
making you feel like walking in oversized shoes
