Crow In The Dark

crow in the dark
the dreams they were convicted for telling only lies
reality came after for claiming to be wise
what you don’t see is what you get just never light a spark
I’m a crow in the dark
years and years and years afloat, imaginary sonic flea
right on track on the off road, I panic very honestly
find a wreck to soothe the brain, going interplanetary
soggy minds out in the rain, looking for a man to bury
and third there was fantasy for being immature
and then a lost idea because it wasn’t really sure
what you don’t see is what you get just never light a spark
I’m a crow in the dark
right in the marsh of sanity the plan the beauty of it all
it’s all a matter of unwillingly gazing into the haze of …
they all were wrong they all were false but it will be allright
born ready made disaster but always out of sight

Peel Off The Sentiment

Peel off the sentiment
looking back on future we
fearing what we hoped to be
the general conditions of our sacred expectations are a soft but all
inclusive lie
right past the mighty arms of friendship
brightly lit with all our credits
it was a goal it was a role
we’ve won we’re lost down in a hole
shattering glass faithfully
sheltering blossoming flee
could you please peel off the sentiment
could you let it stand alone
could you say what’s in the end and then
could you follow me home

It All Serves A Purpose
yes it does yes it does all yes it does all serve a purpose it all does it
certainly serves a purpose it does it really does all yes all yes all serve a
purpose
the purpose it serves is this it is this the purpose that it serves that all
serve it all serves this purpose and the purpose that it serves is this it is
all it serves all and all serve this purpose
so we so we never so we never ever so we never ever stand here in vain
stand here again in vain and again and again without a target without a
goal without a purpose ‘cause

On My Way To Aguno

on my way to aguno
let me go to sleep let me go to sleep let me go to sleep let me go to sleep
A tiny little planet, not very far from here, but far away from every day, and far away from fear
Gonna build a rocketship, crying like a dove, flying like a mothership, on its way to love
Unchained by reality, unshackled from below, untied from our enemies, on and on we go
No farewell no goodbye ‘cause we will meet again so soon, we’ll pass two comets and have tea and biscuits on the moon
On my way to aguno where everything is safe, just push the button on my blanket and try to behave

Great Expectations

great expectations
and if it’s really there
when blood is not enough
when something seems to be stuck
but you can’t miss the point
when actions only whisper
and words take the fall
when almost is a goal
when never can be tempting
and sometimes doesn’t reply
then will we start the dance
or wait for the one t(w)o, three
and if it’s really there
it’s somewhat disappointing
it’s strangely immature
it’s very inorganic
it’s also insecure
it echoes all your futures
it chalks out ancient outlines
it memorizes failure
it used to suffice
and if it’s really there
should we mind being boring
because we’re never free
always someone’s shouting
how we all should be
it might be dressed as a monkey
can we trust it to be real
will we know how to feel
and if it’s really there
can we say it didn’t happen
and ignore the sight
can we drop our smiles
and make it look like nothing
to see what you hoped for
to hear what you have sung
and if it’s really there
will you remember your friends
do you care if they remember
will you settle the score
or return it to sender
will you die before
and if it’s really there
we must be out of our minds
to invent indecision
it’s like to fall out of love
to avoid a collision
and if it’s really there
will we act honestly
or will we just keep on talking
meaning no disrespect
and if it’s really there
should we turn on the light
or do we fake simulation
and if it’s really there
what will we expect next
and if it’s really there
and if it’s really there
and if it’s really there
and if it’s really there

Heavy Machinery
Verse
Retiring the hurt
Restarting the flirt
Checking out the crust
Beneath it there is dust
A soft kind of regret
Is all you ever get
Grazing on the wall
Belly full, you fall
Verse
Reassign the blood
Rewinding the flood
Unbinding the will
Tickle all that’s still
Reorganize the free
Not like it used to be
Eliminate that shady feel
Telling you: you aren’t real
Chorus
It’s why everyone smiles
Everyone files
All the unwanted lines
In the dark side of the mind
The right ones on the shore
They are left overs no more
And ready or not it’s time to show, it’s time to go
All is not just misery
We are heavy machinery
Verse
The sweaty little palms say please
Just hold me and return my ease
Try the fuck out of yourself
Cry or chuckle choose or else
A basket full of buttons here
And if you push the wrong one: fear
And if you push the right one: love
Or maybe none of the above
And what’s behind door number three
You’ll find yesteryears slumber she
Says go for one or go for two
Wait for a bit and then, your cue
Chorus
All is not just misery, we are heavy machinery

No Questions No Lies

No questions, no lies (Charles Dickens)
“You are in every line I have ever read.”
“In a word, I was too cowardly to do what I knew to be right, as I had
been too cowardly to avoid doing what I knew to be wrong.”
“So, throughout life, our worst weaknesses and meannesses are usually
committed for the sake of the people whom we most despise.”
“I must be taken as I have been made. The success is not mine, the
failure is not mine, but the two together make me.”
“I am what you designed me to be. I am your blade. You cannot now
complain if you also feel the hurt”
“Take the pencil and write under my name, 'I forgive her.”
“We changed again, and yet again, and it was now too late and too far to
go back, and I went on. And the mists had all solemnly risen now, and
the world lay spread before me.”
“I looked at the stars, and considered how awful it would be for a man to
turn his face up to them as he froze to death, and see no help or pity in
all the glittering multitude.”
“Ask no questions, and you'll be told no lies.”
