No Matter

Wake up girl and have a look around
Your teddy bear’s wet, your toys are all broken
What you have said just doesn’t go with what you’ve done
And taste of your treason is getting bitter and rotten
No matter, my dear
I still keep walking beside you
Any day of seven days
In hope that you will find a place
For me by your side
Open your wardrobe and have a peep inside
Stroke all the creatures that creep out upon you
You look like a girl who likes to play in graveyard
With your legless pets at the sounds of Evoken
No matter, my dear
I still keep walking beside you
Any day of seven days
To have a look upon your face
One wonderful night
What can I say? I see you walking away
And leaving me behind so
What can I do? I used to follow you
But now I’m standing here with
Eyes full of tears
And with my mind full of fears
And our tower was so glorious
But you ruined everything
No matter, my dear
I still keep walking beside you
Any day of seven days
In hope that you will find a place
To have a look upon your face
And everything to my disgrace

LSD Grandma
02:35

To my grandma I gave a piece of LSD
To make sure I put it in her evening tea
And by the time the town was covered with the lights
My lovely granny had gone completely nuts
The first thing she discovered—she was so alone
To keep her company she turned on her gramophone
But instead of sappy ballads of true love and wedding salads
She heard: “Get up! Get up! Come on, dance with fire, granny!”
She heard the smell of coffee, touched the sound with her hand
Sound appeared to be a gentleman with a bowler hat
It felt so good to have him near
Heard him whisper in her ear saying:“Get up! Get up! Come on, kiss your lover, baby!”
Granny aha, granny ahu, granny aheee!
Her head spun round her shoulders
Shoulders took her chest
Her chest spun round her belly,
Her hips and the rest
And as the top started spinning
She gets such uplifting feeling
That shouts: “Get up! Get up! Come on, spin with fire granny!”
The spinning pulled her down the stairs and outside
Heart full of joy, eyes full of tears at the sight
Barefoot in nasty weather
Felt herself as light as a feather
She cried: “Get up! Get up! Come on, walk with fire!”
Granny found herself so far away from home
12 hours passed as one
And among the bright ideas one struck hard
As she was walking down the lane—
She’ll never be the same again
“Was it a sign from Heaven
Or was I messing up with Devil—
I will never understand!
But who really cares
In the end?”

Killing Song
04:28

You’ve taken me out tonight
You took me out on Monday
I can’t afford the time
I’m running out of money
If you come once again
Well I’m gonna bite
You mess up all my plans
You’re provoking a snowslide
Dear sir you took my time
That I could be rehearsing
Well I’ve commited a crime
I’m a quick-tempered person
When the fire is born
Let the fire go
If you keep it inside
Then you’re gonna burn
You waste my time
Play with my worried worried mind
Deserve to die
I bit you twenty times ‘till I lost my breath
I stabbed knives in your eyes
Then took a chopper to chop ya
Nick this down, my friend
Nick this down, my friend
Nick this down, nick this down,
Down, down, down!
You were not thin
Your parts are too huge for my dustbin
The room ain’t clean
Clean
What the hell!
Shame on you,
My dear friend!
You keep bothering me even after the end!
I’m so tired of killing
Let me lay my head…

Boundaries of our bodies
Make boundaries between our minds
I’d like to ruin all the high walls
That tear us apart
I want to shatter all excuses
The rules invented to divide
I’d like to slap that bitch politeness
That tear us apart
It’s not what it seems
All the precious dreams
And common schemes are
Between the scissors
I’d like to smash the counterfeits
Against the walls
I’d like to throw out
Those bitter pills
‘Cause they don’t seem to help
At all
I’d like to poison all the liars
To break those jugs of lies
You know I’d like to set on fire
Things standing in my light
My light
It’s not what it seems
All the precious dreams
And common schemes are
Between the scissors
I’d like to smash the counterfeits
Against the walls
I’d like to use
Those magic tricks
Maybe they’ll help
I’d like to smash the counterfeits
Against the walls
I’d like to burn down
The manuscripts
‘Cause they don’t seem to help
To understand, to see, to feel
I twist and shout and cry and kneel
I scratch my flesh and break my bones
I spin around without control
I hate to lose control
I hate to lose control
I hate to lose
I hate to lose
To lose control
I’m loosing my control

In out
That’s what it is all about
In and out
That’s what you’re searching all around
In and out
Put that lovely thing in your mouth
Push! Let’s start!
I am longing for result
Push! Let’s start!
Don’t be afraid, it’s not gonna hurt you
Push! Let’s start!
Control your breath and the beating of your heart
Electrical inhaler! Electrical inhaler!
Electrical inhaler! Electrical inhaler!
Electrical inhaler! Electrical inhaler!
Stop! That’s all
Now it’s time for me to go
But before
I’m gonna wash you, my little teaser
Up and down
I rub your limbs, your guts a-and your tongue
Electrical inhaler! Electrical inhaler!
Electrical inhaler! Electrical inhaler!
Electrical inhaler! Electrical!
Put that lovely thing in your mouth!

Hero of the Day
04:56
|

Mama, they try and break me.
The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they've gone.
They're off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way?
Still the window burns, time so slowly turns
Someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do you feel your names?
Do you hear your babies crying?
Mama they try and break me
Still they try and break me
'Scuse me while I tend to how I feel
These things return to me that still seem real
Now deservingly this easy chair
But the rocking stops by wheels of despair
Don't want your aid
But the fist I've made for years won't hold or feel
No I'm not all me
So please excuse me while I tend to how I fell
But now the dreams and waking screams that ever last through the night
So build the wall behind it crawl and hide until it's light
Can you hear your babies crying now?
Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames, can't you feel your names?
Can't you hear your babies crying?
But now the dreams and waking screams that
Ever last the night
So build a wall behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So can't you hear your babies crying now?
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try mama they try
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try Mama they try

Poet and the Witch
02:55
|

Pity the poet who suffers to give
Sailing his friendship on oceans of love
Strange harbour soundwaves break out of his reach
Love is a foreigner to the Queen of the Beach
Queen of the Beach
Moonfilled and thunderful star-staggered eyes
She broke away to be one with the skies
She feeds his love to the nightmare she rides
Suffers her hunger to inherit the prize
Queen of the Skies
Thunder-stricken tempest strikes fire in the sky
Beacons of flame for the Queen as she flies
Blind to his ocean and deaf to his cries
She's blind and she's deaf but she's Queen of the Skies
Queen of the Skies
King of the Seabed he sleeps on his own
The fishes have found him, the seaweed has grown
He slipped through the waves and he sank like a stone
Queens who have nightmares must be Queens on their own
Queens on their own

From here down below you are hardly seen
I believe in you but who’ll believe in me?
Give me a sign, my lord
Would you be so kind, give a sign!
Fly real high or crawl so low
To find the meaning of life or drink all night long
I decide, my Lord, would you give me strength to decide?
I call but there’s nobody home
I’m all alone
I feel like breaking down the law
My cheeks are alarmingly burning red
I’ve got on my tongue what I’ve got in my head
Shut me up, my Lord, would you be so kind to shut me up?
Noone does and no one cares
About searching the truth dissolved in the air
You will never be forgiven till my every piece of living
Turns to dust I swear
Turns to dust I swear
Turns to dust I swear
I call but there’s nobody home
I’m all alone
From here down below you are hardly seen
I believe in you but who’ll believe in me?
Give me a sign, my lord
Would you be so kind, give a sign!
Fly real high or crawl so low
To find the meaning of life or drink all night long
I decide, my Lord, would you give me strength to decide?
To decide
To decide
To decide
To decide

The Best Girl
03:48
|
|||
|
Day by day wait for tomorrow
That never would come
Its shadows are always dissolving
With the rise of the sun
Sparks of the distant bright fireworks
No mails to check in my in-box
Seems like it’s time to tear hair but I’m still having fun
What to do if I’m busy 112 hours a week?
To perform every show as a teacher, a wife and a freak
All I do is just killing the time
To become the best girl in the world
When God turns out the light
I’ve met with Jung, Fromm, Schopenhauer
Thought they’d make good friends
But they don’t know Amanda Palmer
I laugh at their ignorance
Anna goes fighting the globalism
Jerry stands up for transhumanism
But you see I’m not like them I just wait for a tram
All the brightest ideas are born in someone else’s mind
My best foes doubts and fears are afraid of the whip of the night
All I do is just killing the time
To become the best girl in the world
When God turns out the light
Every day ask myself stupid questions like
“Why do birds sing?”
Can’t wait until the dark night falls
When I cease to think
All the facts eaten and books read
Come through my mind when I go to bed
They must make me much better and I’m sure
That they will do the trick
No matter how hard I tried but I still feel as thick as a brick
I’m upset by this fact 112 hours a week
All I do is just killing the time
All I do is just killing the time
Everything that I want to be
Is not a thing that I really see
I could climb up the hills
Could fall down on my knees
But I’m still not the girl
That could please (me)
My head’s going round
When I think about things I have done
But that really is none
I’m dead-beat like a horse on the run
All I do is just killing the time
All I do is just searching damned rhyme
All I do is just jumping miles high
To become the best girl in the world!

Split in Two
03:49

There is a line that I can reach
There is a line that I can reach
There is a line that I can reach
But I can never ever pass
Over and over and over again
I keep moulding and moulding the castles of sand
To see endeavours devoured by waves
Till there’s nothing left
Nothing left
Ye-ye-ye
Hoping to find the truth in your eyes I plunge
Blinded by glittering streams of delight I touch
My mind devoured by waves
Till there’s nothing left
Nothing left
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
Trying to hide my shortcomings behind your wall
Of merits and values I seem to forget it all
Such a weird structure is easy to split in two
But it’s up to you
Up to you
Split in two
Split in two
Split in two
Split in two
And I always keep forgetting that I’m only sixth
Maybe seventh, maybe eighteenth
In your preference list
There’s a line that I can reach
But I can never pass
There is me and there is you
But there is no “us”

Away

Eyes divine how could I stop from
Sinking
Memorize all your lies and inscrutable
Reason
Away
The girl in the mirror is the only to blame
The sun backs away, the planet gets colder
Dreams are born to die
While I’m growing older
Bird and whale once again cannot play
In the ocean
Blow away all my faith
And devotion
Away
The girl in the mirror is never
The same
The sun backs away
The planet gets colder
Dreams are born to die
While I’m growing older
Away
Away
The sun backs away
The planet gets colder
Colder
Dreams are born to die

Lost
04:36

I have lost here so much time
But I feel I’ve still got much more to lose
It’s so dark and wet inside
But I am too weak to kick off your shoes
To become a Jesus Christ
It is not enough to climb on the cross
Running out of the vicious circle just to reach another
Found/ lost, found/lost
Chorus:
And I can’t help myself getting higher and higher
On you
To be poisoned by this burning desire
From you
I will run so soon
But where I’m gonna run to?
Eating porridge of my tears
God knows for how long it is gonna last
I’m so envious of your tricks
How you turn your future into your past
To be healthy, to keep fit
I keep running after the leaving train
Hearing much or hearing none
Now it’s all for me the same
Pain pain pain
Chorus.
I’m getting used to eating shit
Well done with gravy made of rain
I’m glad to be back to my sufferings again
To see you from the different sides
Felt like a slow suicide
Cause every curve of yours
I know is mine
Prod my voodoo with a pin
You don’t seem to have a clue what it brings
You’re so good at everything
But especially at forgetting things
I’m so sorry for being rude
There is one thing that you can’t forget
Neither can I, that’s a shame
How surprising! It is you to my regret
Rat, RAT!
Chorus.
From you I will run with no excuse
Cause I cannot accept your rules
I can’t enjoy this game at all
I’d rather crawl away than fall

Clouds descending
I'm not policing what you think and dream
I run into your thought from across the room
Just another trick
Can I weather this
I've got a fever above my waist
You got a squeeze box on your knee
I know the truth is in between the 1st and 40th drink
Concertina
Concertina
A chill that bends this
I swear you're the fiercest calm I've been in
Concertina
Concertina
Try infrared
This I swear
You're the fiercest calm I"ve been in the
Soul-quake happened here
In a glass word
Particle by particle
She slowly changes
She likes hanging Chinese paper cuts
Just another fix
Can I weather this
I got my fuzz all tipped to play
I got a dub on your landscape
Then there's your policy of tracing
The source without the blame
Too far too far too far
Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away, I've got to
Get away from the pain you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a girl could give you
Take my tears and that's all get way too cheerful
I've got a fever above my waist
You got a squeeze box on your knee
I know the truth is in between the 1st and ...
the 2nd ... the 13th ... 26th ... 39th ... 40th drink
Concertina
Concertina
A chill that bends this
I swear you're the fiercest calm I've been in
Concertina
Concertina
Try infrared
This I swear
You're the fiercest calm I"ve been in the
