INAPPROPRIATE 128 - Am
It's a feather in my hat
It's the pearl around my neck
That makes me bad
It's the colour of my hair
Or the language in which I swear
That drives you mad
I'm not correct in what I do - I'm offending them and you
I'm in your line of sight and yes, my dear, you're right:
I'm inappropriate!
It is the vixen dress I wear
And the stuff about which I care
That makes me bad
It is the nipple of my tit
It is the place on which I sit
That drives you mad
You've lost control over your eyeballs and over your typing hand as well
Looking away is not your forte (fortay) and what you see you have to tell
You've got the right to be offended as I have got that to offend
Your mind is set in a concrete block and you don't want that state to end
„You can't do this because you're Female
You can't do this because you're Old
You can't do this because you're Black or white or green
You can't do this because you suck
You can't do this because you're blind or dumb or lame
You can't do this because you're fat
You can't do this because you're ugly“
- You know what? I give a fuck!
I'm inappropriate...

PRETTY PLEASE 130 – Em
I want to believe that everything will be alright
I prefer to think that all things can swing to their better side
I don't want you to show me What I don't want to know, thank you very much
Tell me the best truth that you can make up and Don't ever don't ever wake me up
Let me dream my fantasy how people live in harmony
I am happy in my sleep, don't shake me nononono
People scare me, don't you dare to speak to me
Leave me floating happily in my bubble of insanity
dick pics, politics, spam chokes me with panics
You can keep your lot of shit I won't love you more for it thank you very much
I´ve got too much of everything, I don´t want what you could bring
I don´t need your plan for a future that might never come
Do I have to change the world I just want to stay home a nerd
Fake news fake news put them where the shit grows
You´re afraid? oh I can feel you - doesn´t mean I have to like you

I AM AN ICEBERG – 100 – Bbm
I am an iceberg - you only see part of me. when I melt down I will take you down with me
My life is running away from me- I chase it and gasp - can't breathe
My life is falling away from me - like flakes of skin - of an ugly disease
My life is crumbling away right now - falling apart- in front of my eyes
My life that I've built from so many tears - dissolves in a mist- and dies
I stand and watch, unable to move, I silently cry for help
But no angel lowers his wings on me, I turn away and fly – myself
I know you´ll never hear me calling - I know you´ll never even try
I know the lighthouse is a blind spot - I know the rest is passing by
Hold on to the plank And keep your head up, Try not to quit breathing, This ship will be sinking
Or to let your heart stop,You have got no home/time
Let go of your firm hold And swim all alone/from the lifeline
It ends right here right now - It ends I'm glad let go - it is the end this time and we will not return

CASTLE IN THE WOODS
In a land far away there´s a mountainside where no one will go
In the mountains far away there´s a peak covered in eternal snow
If you climb up this mountain which you never ever will you may find me
I can show you the way if you really wanna follow deep inside of me
On the mountain in the woods there´s a castle looming against the dusky sky
There's a road leading up to the castle but it´s broken and dangerously high
If you walk all this road...
If you reach the castle you will find that the walls are too steep to climb
And the entrance is blocked by a gate which seems forged by a titan´s child
If you still find the key…
So now you´re inside but it´s dark as pitch not a spark of light
You may burn all the candles you can find but you still will feel left to die
If you don´t run away which you probably will…
On the castle on the mountain in the deep deep wood there´s a spire
You may find the door to the endless narrow staircase in the deepest lair
If you climb all the stairs…
On the top of the stairs there´s a room with a burnt out fireplace
In the ashes you can see shreds of paper burnt and ripped to kill every trace
If you put them all together…
There´s a letter now before you, try to read it, all the answers you may want are here
While you´re reading you won´t notice how the door is locked and a step comes near
When you look up from the letter - crying if you understand - you may see me
I am standing at the window. With a sad and sorry smile I throw out the key

The ark is sinking – all hope is gone
Chaos is linking what´s new and what´s done
The past is burning and its flame flickers and dies
Quenched by ignorance – suffocated in lies
Restart from Zero – Try again. Restart from Zero, little man.
Time is revolving back to Big Bang
The snake has no face but a poisonous fang.
The sky is dark now with acidic rain
The rock is falling, all was in vain.
Hold your beloved for all that´s it´s worth
Cry on her shoulder while she´s giving birth

Another Dream
05:55

1 It feels so good to stay in bed - To pull the cover up your shoulders
To turn around and snuggle in - And not to care about what's sad
It is so easy sleeping in - Pretending life is just a nightmare
To just stay put and let them worry Whether to sleep may be a sin
Let's stay in bed Today - Let's keep ea ch other warm - The world is cold Today - Let's stay in bed
Whether we're there or not - It won't make a difference - So let's disappear - Into Another Dream
2 Isn't it nice to stay in bed - To close your eyes, play deaf and blind
To turn your back towards your partner - And let the world be screaming mad
Isn't it easy sleeping in - Forget your duties and your rights
To just stay put and let them bother - Never to lose, never to win.
3 So you are sure you'll stay in bed - And not to change the things you hate
To play the sheep and trust the shepherd - You always went where you were led
you're so afraid of waking up - Maybe your life is just a nightmare
If you don't look maybe is disappears - And so your eyes and mouth stay shut
Let's die in bed Today - Let's shoot each other cold - The world is dead Today - Let's die in bed
Whether you're there or not – might make a difference- But You disappear - Into a Dream
And I just say – let´s Burn the fucking bed
Let's burn the bed Today - What's there besides to die? The world is cold today - Let's burn the bed
Whether we're there or not - We won`t make a difference - So let's exchange the world - for Another Dream

Lobotomy
03:22

Lobotomy, I want a lobotomy for my birthday
Lobotomy will be the only way to make me smile
Take them away Take them away those stupid feelings, Take it away this haunting guile
Then I could live as a happy apian! who ever needed the homo sapien?
I'd jump from a tree and fall to my death, the ruins of mankind will be my bed
Lobotomy give me lobotomy to make my day
Lobotomy seems like a pretty way to salvation. Without personality I would feel no sin
I'm sick of teaching, explaining, complaining, So heal me from thinking I know that you can
Then I could live forever after in peace, Sit in the corner, counting my fleas
Madly Grinning about what I forgot, Salivating slightly is all that I got
Doctor oh doctor go get your drill, take it from me, this bloody free will
I don't need to wait for the end of the show, My own apocalypse can be here and now

Night
06:40
|

The night is everywhere And your whole world lies in the dark
The black and glassy sphere that is the sky allows no spark
The stars died long ago and sister moon has gone away
you must get up and go - this is no place for you to stay
A single candle drops some wax across the floor
You hear your breath while you start searching for a door
Is there another breath behind you in the gloom
turn to the mirror so you finally face your doom
Wake up - in the middle of the night - Open your eyes - and be blind in mind and sight
Scream in the darkness of the night - Nothing is there - not a single ray of light
The wind blows out the flame - Again you´re lost there in the void
The world you knew is gone - You can as well stand there all night
There is nowhere to go - No sun that will turn up next day
Your memory returns - And screaming out you run away
Your bare feet clatter on the cold and stoney floor
leave bloody prints, no one will see them anymore
you leave behind what you have found around your bed
but there are more and more, and all of them are dead
flee these acidic walls, your prison and your bed
the steps come closer, closer, closer, and you´re dead)
Wake up - in the middle of the night - Open your eyes - and be blind in mind and sight
Scream - it won´t help that you´re the feast - No one is left but an always hungry beast
Scream and then go on with the feast - No one is left but an always hungry beast

Your gaze turns me to stone - while you´re talking
You look very alone - while we´re walking
You´ve been torn apart - and badly sewn back together
you have a Frankenstein heart - you past is your tether
He took off your head and nailed it to his shield, Made you his bounty, his crest to wield
He cut off what had been your life before and your wounds stay sore -
It´s not every night anymore in the small hours that you wake up and count your pills
there are blissful moments when you almost forget - moments - and then the pain comes back
So you were laughing too loud - So you were dancing too hard
So you were showing desire - So you were available -
What's left of you walks and talks And daily brushes its teeth
You're a sore empty chrysalis Scared of what you need
I know I can't help. The scars will not heal.
I walk beside you and we both try not to feel
And then The pain Comes back

I run a business and this business has my name but I'm not a man
I like sex and i have it when i can but I'm not a man
I boss people and my voice is loud and mean but
I curse and swear and I'm not the least ashamed but
I show myself and my talents to the world but
I won't have when somebody spoils my day but
I make my own money and I like to spend it but
I have an opinion and I will speak it but
I love my body and I like to touch it but
I like my hooha and I don't like to wash it but
I'm growing hair on my legs and face and crotch but
I like it dirty and I do it quite loud but
The future is female - Female is the future
The present is female - Female is now
I am a female - Female is what I am
The present is female - Female is now

He lifts the cover ever so softly, He smiles so friendly and strokes her hair. Oh are you cold dear, here, let me warm you, his hand is hot indeed but makes her freeze.
She is so young still and has nobody, maybe he´s right in all that he does, maybe she´s wrong in feeling a victim, maybe it´s her fault and she´s here to please. but in her mind she screams
Throw yourself out of the window, Shoot yourself in the head, Make yourself feel like I do, Know what you´re doing is ever so bad. Hack off your hands that abuse me, Throttle yourself to death, While you´re at it please castrate yourself, I wish someone before me had, Oh please die
He crawls in the bed, snuggles beside her, tugs at her nightgown and pulls it up
Oh you´re so hot dear, here, let me show you what good I can do only for you
He says he loves her but never asks her what she is feeling, if she´s alive - maybe she´s human, maybe his soft toy - it doesn´t matter, she´s there to please
Maybe there will come the day When she will run away And when he finds her, threatens to blind her, she gropes behind her and screams

. . . I´m not in control .. I´m not in
I can´t move I can´t think I can´t sleep I can´t live I can´t breathe
I need to need to breathe . . . I need to need to breathe
My fear is to fear it´s oppressing my chest I can´t Breathe
Your hate is my choke it´s suppressing my self I can´t breathe
I´ll never be good enough strong enough wise enough
Can´t stop stupidity can´t save what´s left of me
I can´t move I can´t think I can´t sleep I can´t live I can´t breathe
I need to ... I need to need to breathe
I need to ... I need to need to (bass drop)
I need to ... I need to need to (GP)
. . . I´m not in control ..
This air is poisonous - This world is poisonous - This life is poisonous - This fear is poisonous
This hate is poisonous - This hope is poisonous – I can´t move I can´t think I can´t sleep I can´t live I can´t breathe - I need to ... I need to need to breathe
Toxic toxic toxic - don´t be so obnoxious
- Listen to the gossip - Don´t you change the topic - Don´t ask for the logic -
Shut your mouth and smile And don´t ask why
I´m not in control
I need to ... I need to need to

Vanity Fair

Sitting upright sleepless in the small hours which seem somehow much bigger than usual
Is this reality is this a nightmare featuring all the decisions I've made
Shouldn't I be on the street in this moment, shouldn't I write a song
Shouldn't I sleep so I'm fresh in the morning To achieve what I this time did wrong
I am too tired to sleep, So I decided to die instead. Let´s celebrate the occasion and don´t try to hold me back
Now I remember the words I have said to you when we should have said goodnight
I change to a kitchen chair creaking suspiciously but still more silent than I, was,
all the time rolling backwards and forth and I didn't want to wake you up, no,
but to be honest I wish oh I wish you would open the door now and rub my back and tell me all will be alright
Let me escape from this vanity fair, Let me prepare for the afterlife
Let me put on all my beautiful clothes, Make up my face to a most splendid mask
I can escape from this devilish world, I'll build my rocket to Jupiter
Put me upon a most marvellous dais, Let me sail away even further
Nothing did happen, and no you can't help. I'm not an unlucky person
My brain is just fucked up and I am so tired, I can't fight any more
The Sounds of a waking world muffled by the soft noise of warm black wings . I am just so tired - I just want to say goodnight
(Now I´ve) put on my ball gown and jewellery, Adorned my head with a crown
I feel I´ve been dancing all night and have just slipped out of the room
to sit down a bit and breathe while everyone else - is still - having fun
so I sit and breathe and smile and wait for death to come
