SEASONS
Seasons changing on a daily basis
blossoms killed by sudden frost
migrating birds fall from the sky
but we stay no matter what it costs
your love can be so warm
so comforting and wise
one day we won't need
any cover or disguise
endless freeze-thaw cycles
I cut my love down to the base
I want it to survive
not to grow and die
this house is full of bodies
full of sweat and dirt and fear
you’re trying to get rid of me
while you say you need me here
you try to wear me out
with hostility made of shame
your voice is calm and clear
while your ghost’s still are untamed
your back is black and blue
and there's a knife right in your side
you might still want to Jeckill
while you already hide

HAIRDRYER MAN
Hairdryer Man there you stand
at the wall of the loo
with the dryer in your hand
people don't understand
got no hair to be dried
there's just air
and it's hot
all you hear is the sound
of the fan your ear close
to the dryer and you lay your
finger on your lips when I ask you
what’s the point
it's just like sex there's no point
in talking about
after six or seven hours
your dryer dies in your hand
something melts something smells
while you pack all your things
and you go to the shop
to buy a new one
the people there may be scared
by your grin but anyway
you just pay and you say
It's win-win
well In fact you don't say
it' s win-win but it's wind wind
kind of funny but drying is your job
explaining is not
hair dryer man there you stand
at the wall of the loo
got no hair to be dried
there's just air
and it's hot
perhaps this is a new trend
perhaps it is not
perhaps they’ll send you to a
mental institution
perhaps no one will ever see
your contribution
to modern life
you don’t care and neither do I
hair dryer man you don’t try
but you dry and you stand
at the wall of the loo
it's the thing that you do

Grind

GRIND
I want this mill to be eaten by flames
I want this grinding stone to burst
I want the paddles of this millwheel
to break off one by one could
someone please put an end to this curse
far from anything you need
betrayed by the one to be trusted
both starving and disgusted
at the very same time
I'm waiting for swarms of locusts
to swallow the wheat
the oat and the rye
I want this river to run dry
I want this mill to be eaten by flames
I want this place to vanish in the ground
I wish that poisonous fog covered
the fields and the town
I want this mill to burn down
unable to say a word
Unable to refuse what they feed you
Though you know it will make
your teeth fall out bite by bite

Kill You

KILL YOU
It took such a long time to kill you
and now you're gone
it still feels so wrong
the fact that you'd been an asshole
didn’t make it easier to be alone
cause the wounds you’d inflicted
got septic when I was on my own
you wanna make amends
now you're crying in the dark
but you treated me just like a dog
when you knew I wouldn't bark
the scissors-things cut out
all of your remains
leaving a dark hole of infinitive depth
I lost some parts of me in there as well
gonna call the department
of identity theft
now everything's so stale and obsolete
I'm buying things I don't really need
I'm talking to people I don't like to meet
and I'm checking for messages
I don't want to read
It took such a long time to kill you
and now you're gone
it still feels so wrong

Stones

STONES
Stones in your way stones in the wall
stones that are big stones that are small
stones used to build or used to destroy
stones for your anger stones for your joy
stones on the doorstep stones in your bath
stones come in handy
when push comes to shove
stones
stones everywhere
stones don't care
stones in the streets in the trunk of your car
stones having drinks down at the bar
stones that are heavy or light as a feather
stones in your kidneys stones in your bladder
stones on your feet on your chest
on your head and a big one just
six feet up when you're dead
stones
stones everywhere
stones don't care
and neither do I

Freeze
03:10

FREEZE
Can’t you feel the pressure drop
can’t you hear the wheeze
better keep on moving
cause everything in here is going to freeze
you still think you can make a difference
so you really want to stay
while I smile in self-defense
trying to keep it away
it’ll take our strength
it’ll suck our blood
It’ll deny our existence
it’ll kill our love
you can’t ease our pain for now
so leave as long as you can
I won’t be able to handle your panic
I can’t even handle a pan

Boat

BOAT
I saw love in a boat it was floating away
from the shore more and more day by day
I saw you at the door taking your hat
saying I’m just gonna get me some cigarettes
if I try to hold you it’s just to hold you back
and if I want you to say you’d like to stay
it’s just to push you away
don’t even try to get me out of my mood
I won't rest before you feel worse than I do
if I don’t get love I take hate
hate is the last thing to die
And you can’t fly with your damaged wings
but you can still use them to hit me
some things you can’t ignore
you will hurt me even if it hurts you more
I saw you at the door taking your hat
saying I’m just gonna get me some cigarettes
of course I knew it was just a joke
since you don’t smoke you never did
we throw dirt at each other
and we swallow the soap
and we kiss while we feel more like
cutting each other's throat
I saw love in a boat it was floating away
from the shore more an more day by day

WINDSHIELD WIPER
Windshield wiper wipe away the rain
windshield wiper wipe away the pain
windshield wiper you give me clear sight
when I put out the lights in the silent night
am I driving on or off the road?
the ground seems to be muddy
I don’t take it slow
windshield wiper wipe away the rain
windshield wiper wipe away the pain
you let me see the darkness
through an oily sheen
windshield wiper I heard somebody scream
windshield wiper wipe away the mud
windshield wiper wipe away the blood

Leave And Let Love

LEAVE AND LET LOVE
I’m not gonna play
the fool for you anymore
I’m not gonna say
those stupid things to you
no,not anymore
we're living in different towns
in different countries
on different tectonic plates
it’s not our fault
seems to be our fate
I’m not gonna play
the fool for you anymore
I’m not gonna say
those stupid things to you
no, not anymore
it seemed to be a good idea at the time
but it’s not anymore it’s time to go
we're living on different planets
near different stars
in different parts of the universe
everyone should get what they deserve
I don't care if you go to hell my dear
or if you fly to the heavens above
the only thing that I know is
you have to leave and let love

UNSPOKEN
Lost in the woods
surrounded by the unspoken
separated we stood
our spirits unbroken
don’t know why we have to fight
and who has caused this ordeal
uncertain what we’re fighting against
we’re dead certain it’s real
driven by fear
I struck into the void
driven by anger
I missed the whole point
I grasped at nothing when I
wanted to hold you tight
and I was misguided
when I thought I was right
I tried to stay tough
but I failed and I hovered
I didn’t know that the past
was taking your presence as cover
we lost all the tracks
but we found some traces
and we watched our steps
when the ghost's were getting faces
there's a walkthrough
and it's written in our guts
better prepare for the unexpected
if you don't want to end up nuts
lost in the woods
still not sure of the end
together we’re standing
soul and mind hand in hand

VANDYKE ELEVATOR
Fresh paint on the wall
a vandyke-like brown
stuck in the elevator
going down
noise at a door up there
sounds kinda cruel
someone is yelling
someone with tools
can't understand
too much reverb
but I think I should curb
my expectations for this day
but on the bright side
I won't be hit by a car
I won't die on a train
on a boat or a plane
seems that I’m trapped
in a little brown cell
funny thing is
I like it quite well
I look at my hands
in the warm brown light
hey I might look like some
daguerreotype of guy
stuttering moves
the thing gets alive
the people up there get startled
like a beehive
as the door opens
they say now you’re safe
in moments like this I
don't know how to behave
I’m expected to be happy
and to express this in a way
I just say thank you and
have a nice day

Eleven Words

ELEVEN WORDS
Eleven words you wrote
eleven words I didn't understand
eleven words you wrote
eleven words I already forgot
you wrote them on a page you
tore out of yesterday's paper
you put it on the kitchen table
and I kinda missed the point
you wrote them in a hurry I guess
just before you left
they seemed important to you
I really do regret
I wanted to talk to you about it
when we meet again
but I didn't dare to contact you
and you never called since then
I remember every word you said
and every single kiss
but I forgot those words cause inside
my head it looks like this:
but I do recall there
was half a picture of a dog
and I kinda counted the words
or I didn't but I'm sure there were
eleven words you wrote
