We received our ghosts
From the ones we need the most
We keep feeding ghosts
To the ones we love the most

Isolation is hell
The voice in your head
Pulls you down, no regret
So iconic, your shell
All filters attached
The intention is set
Go!
Social-Selfie-Adverts-P*rn
You were merely made not born
Social-Selfie-Adverts-P*rn
You were merely made not born
Lay out your ego trap
Give me a like, give me a mention!
We've got a mindset gap
I don't care, I want your attention!
Say did you make your preps?
I come from another dimension!
We've got a mindset gap
I want my maximum tension
Now!
Narcissus' digital twin
Your fingers swiping through pics
Gives you adrenalin kicks
This imitation we're in
An emulation of life
It's what you want them to like
Lay out your ego trap
Give me a like, give me a mention!
We've got a mindset gap
I don't care, I want your attention!
Say did you make your preps?
I come from another dimension!
We've got a mindset gap
I want my maximum tension
Now!

Day in, Day out
03:23
|

strange places pass my attention while I
log-in to dissociation skipping
the intrusive self-reputation
of the billboards, holograms advertising sounds
day in, day out
day in, day out
tube station, fool of the nation, missing
relations, reaping rejections and I’m
afraid of falling asleep
and so I break my limitations as I’m merging with the crowd
day in, day out
day in, day out
day in, day out
day in, day out
tonight
we dance with the city lights
and then we realize
we’re crossing the edge tonight
hold tight
we sleep with the neon lights
the ones we sanctify
we own the night
inflation – procrastination – I need
the real shot to light up my veins – and maybe
some cajun fries and a coke
and I will stomp those mother*ckers into motherf*cking ground
Motherf*ckers! Gonna burn those mother*ckers down!
girls, boys, pachinko rotation – I am
trapped in a pixel sensation – all those
injections, making me dizzy
and I'm pushing up my energy so I can play another round
day in, day out
day in, day out
day in, day out
day in, day out

Dark angel
From liquid skies
You’re offering me a peace you can't supply
Distracting me
from emptiness
You hide away a truth I can't deny
Your martial habits
Your milkyway eyes
I wanna lay me down in a bed of lies
And when you spread
Your wings
All feels numb
Swallow the sun
Can erase
My emotional R.O.M.

I cannot sleep
I cannot dream
I don’t know what this means
Every night
The City, she speaks

I cannot sleep
I cannot dream
I don’t know what this means
Every night
The City, she speaks to me
And so I go in my car
To the derelict mall
By the sycamore trees
By the sycamore trees
All the ghosts of the night
They calm down for a while
By the sycamore trees
By the sycamore trees
Put my head on the ground
Of the parking lot
By the sycamore trees
By the sycamore trees
Here I am, I’m alive
That’s the only way to feel
By the sycamore trees
By the sycamore trees

An Mignon

Ueber Thal und Fluß getragen
Ziehet rein der Sonne Wagen,
Ach! sie regt in ihrem Lauf,
So wie deine, meine Schmerzen,
Tief im Herzen,
Immer morgens wieder auf.
Immer morgens wieder auf.
Kaum will mir die Nacht noch frommen,
Denn die Träume selber kommen
Nun in trauriger Gestalt,
Und ich fühle dieser Schmerzen,
Still im Herzen,
Heimlich bildende Gewalt.
Heimlich bildende Gewalt.
Schon seit manchen schönen Jahren
Seh ich unten Schiffe fahren,
Jedes kommt an seinen Ort,
Aber ach! die steten Schmerzen,
Fest im Herzen,
Schwimmen nicht im Strohme fort.

The Truth (Norma Jeane)
05:36
|
|||
|
12 days without a memory
And 7 years of peace
All shattered into pieces
When Gladys took you back
Her breakdowns, the asylums
You’d often changed your homes
And you wished yourself away
To some protective Dad
It’s hard to start
if you don’t start
with the truth
Lost feelings of attachment
Relations on and off
They all demand a piece of yours
A filling for their lacks
Emotions helter skelter
Your path was set by men
With no respect for limits
Dissociate – and fade to black
It’s hard to start
if you don’t start
with the truth
Do you have a dream for me?
Would you please project your needs into me?
May I serve you, may I please?
Who can save this little Norma Jeane?
Happy Birthday to you
Feels so tragic and blue
Makes you cry on the spot
An emotional wreck
Ulysses on your nightstand
Your sleeping pills at hand
Whatever you had given
You never got it back
It’s hard to start
if you don’t start
with the truth

Here comes the winter
He finally shows
People like you and me
We treat ourselves like ghosts
They tell us to make the world
The way we like it most
And we fill the sky above
With creatures no one knows
Oh it's getting colder now
It’s getting so much colder now
Oh it's getting colder now
It’s getting even colder now
Don’t fear nor regret
We’ve reached another land
When there’s no colour left
We’ve just reached Pattern’s End
In case you understand
Then reach out – take my hand
When there’s no colour left
We’ve just reached Pattern’s End
This is the pattern’s end!

Two Words in Japanese Cologne, Germany
Imagine a future they imagined in 1984: Her bright pink neon mouth pulverized before his inner eye into a molecular pixel cloud and gave way to the seemingly endless metropolis panorama of the skyline of Chiba City.

Can't get the song "When Morning Comes" by CHERAZADE out of my head anymore. A bit of Nirvana mixed with a bit of PJ Harvey and a large portion of independent charm ... "The clockhand is mincing time"
