Smiling Depression

The place where I live is no longer a home
I’m stuck in this city heartbroken and alone
Thought about death for far too long
Puke stains on my carpet and scars on my skin
Let me condemn all of my friends and kin
Wondering where the fuck have I been?
This room is empty now and my phone is dead
You’ll keep on chasing me while I hide in bed
I’m glad these tears they don’t make a sound
Now everyone’s gone and I don’t even care
Address someone else with all that hot air
I’ll savor the silence of my despair
Puke stains on my carpet and scars on my skin
Let me condemn all of my friends and kin
Wondering where the fuck have I been?
This room is empty now and my phone is dead
You’ll keep on chasing me while I hide in bed
I’m stuck in misery but don’t you dare to ask
I hate my self-pity so I put on a mask
I’m glad these tears they don’t make a sound

I’m waking up I’m still drunk wondering what have I done?
I’m fool enough to trust everyone
My train of thought gives way to thoughts of trains
Feels like there’s blood pumping through my veins
Everyone’s making mistakes
I hate mine the most
I just can’t relate to the person I was
Sometimes I feel so alone
Consciousness without a past
My old notebook was written by someone else
It’s not about virtue and vice
It’s about you, won’t you take my advice?
It’s far too real to realize
Been friends for years and nights
What’s it worth? You have to decide
I know what I don’t want tonight
Everyone’s making mistakes
I hate mine the most
I just can’t relate to the person I was
Sometimes I feel so alone
Consciousness without a past
My old notebook was written by someone else

Broke

It’s the first weekend of the month
Spend my entire money on drugs
What’s the point of being here?
Returning bottles to get beer
I can’t stand feeling sad for the sake of feeling sad
Hypocrisy of staying bed
Trying to forget the dreams I’ve had
Remember your parents still love you
I wish I had nothing else to do
Achieving nothing seems to be most desirable
My body tells me it’s enough
It’s the other day I come undone
Noticing that it’s all wrong
Pull myself back up and scream out loud
That I need everyone
There’s a friend I’m seeing for a while
Guess I liked her from the first time
My spirit was robbed by fucking jealousy
She puts it back into my life
This free love is just a joke
Got to pay my debts but I’m fucking broke
Change my attitude but it’s too late
Writing songs that I fucking hate
Playing in a band is just an excuse for getting wasted

Economy & Love

This economy and love share too many words
Possession is suffocation
We’re build on envy and greed jealousy and hurt
We’re trained not educated
Needless to say, my heartache won’t go away
The tighter you hold on
Why are we more ashamed of our love than of our hate?
You’re fucking up my head with concepts of yesterday
It’s what we’ve all learned: love is something you earn
We’re trained not educated
Let’s try to love and let love not get married in church
Possession is suffocation
Needless to say, my heartache won’t go away
The tighter you hold on
Why are we more ashamed of our love than of our hate?
You’re fucking up my head with concepts of yesterday
One day desires will show
It's not your body I own
With some trust and a smile
All our goodwill and our time
Let our agreement be trust
In all our needs and our lust
Let's sweep the dust off our hearts
This economy and love share too many words
We’re trained not educated
Let’s try to love and let love not get married in church
Possession is suffocation

Losing Control
04:29
|
|
||
|
The doors of perception are closed by the most narrow minds of all
All aspiration and hope shall be drowned in alcohol
Cause they need empty minds for them to spread their lies
An open consciousness is being criminalized
Just keep your curtains closed
And lock your kids indoors
Annihilate your soul
Afraid of losing control
This way to freedom is lost
A broken key is stuck in the lock
And all the shit that is left:
Parties, ODs and brainfuck
I fear the morning to come
Poisoned body burned by the sun
I’m just trying to forget
All the shit I have done
Just keep your curtains closed
And lock your kids indoors
Annihilate your soul
Afraid of losing control

Together Alone

|

Those five years felt like forever
Those fading memories like burning candles
And time flew by, and nothing’s left
Just a sad puddle of melted wax
One dog no family, sex and rejection
But I’m regaining my independence
Loneliness, the price we have to pay
But I’m regaining my will to live
We’re missing out on our decisions
How have we got here?

I can’t stand when you need me like that
I can’t stand when you treat me like that
I can’t stand when you need me the most
I can’t stand when you’re running out of hope
I can’t stand when you treat me like that
I can’t stand with a gun in my back, with a gun in my back
With a gun in my motherfucking back
What you gonna do?
Everything seems so far away from you
I just got nothing to do
I think I’ll just smash it all up
I can’t stand when you treat me like that
I can’t stand when you need me like that
I can’t stand when you need me the most
I can’t stand when you’re running out of hope
I can’t stand when you treat me like that
I can’t stand with a gun in my back, with a gun in my back
With a gun in my motherfucking back
What you gonna do?
Everything seems so far away from you
I just got nothing to do
I think I’ll just smash it all up

A New Era
03:29
|
|

I lost my sense of poetry
When everyone started screaming
No sense for ideology
What was I feeling?
I’m so drunk I can’t make a point
You’re too dumb to talk to
My problem’s not smoking joints
My problem is what you’re used to
Will you ever open your eyes?
Will you ever admit you were wrong?
Don’t you think people have to suffer
If you don’t admit?
Fuck you
When will it come to an end?
The machine guns in your head
Just made me sad then
Well, it’s true
If you don’t listen to what I say
I tend to run away
Couldn’t care less about you
You lost your sense of good and bad
When you forgot what peace was
No sense for ideology
Harassment was what you got
Will you ever open your eyes?
Will you ever admit you were wrong?
Don’t you think people have to suffer
If you don’t admit?
Fuck you
When will it come to an end?
The machine guns in your head
Just made me sad then
Well, it’s true
If you don’t listen to what I say
I tend to run away
Couldn’t care less about you

I still hate myself
03:12
|

I couldn’t write a song in months
Guess I’m all too busy getting drunk
And trying not to feel as miserable as I used to feel
Today I’ve got to find something else
For this thing I call myself
Recently I had to break up
With a girl that I still love
It just became too hard to breathe
I can’t stand to be someone’s property
I hate to be the object of expectation
I don’t even care bout my expectations
But now I feel pretty bad
And she thinks that it’s pretty sad
That I couldn’t stop drinking
When we were still together and glad
I’ve been drinking for years
And she bore it for almost five years
Guess that I have to say sorry
And that I had a great time my dear
Someday my skin will be a lot greener

You are the Enemy
03:25

Everything we know is bullshit
Everything we hear we never heard of
Everything we want we never wanted
And everything we can is fucking useless
But still there are some people
Trying to sell their shit to me
They will come and force us
Believing what we want to be
They will come and get you
To become a battery
A long and low life one
To obey your enemy
You are the enemy
They're creating ideas of race and competition
You’re automatically in the game
They never asked for admission
Their fictional needs create hate and racism
What will they do once we stop listening?
But still there are some people
Trying to sell their shit to me
They will come and force us
Believing what we want to be
They will come and get you
To become a battery
A long and low life one
To obey your enemy
You are the enemy

I’m rest- and helpless
The world is locked
I locked it myself
I ain’t got no friends
Shooting battleships
Try invading my space
I’m losing my face
Towards others
Got no one to bother
Just got my brother
When I’m away
Don’t wait for me
You could wait for anybody
But you shouldn’t
When you’re gone
I won’t be here anymore
Nothing holds me here
When you’re gone
Already I’m done
Society’s gonna kill me
Sometimes I’d like to be part of life
Sometimes I’m sitting in the dark of life
Soon will come the day
That I will move away
I might slip and I might fall
I might lose it all
So come here and say goodbye
Cause tonight we’re gonna die
