Fear To All
I’m tired to the corest of cores
I can’t stand another cry from my son
I can’t live like this but it’s what I chose
And the options don’t vary anymore
And now I bang my head to the wall
And I ignore what’s become clear to all
I’m a small mind with a fear to fall
A fear to all
Well I think this first verse is a dumb
Just because my lottery didn’t come
I cry my complain like a little spoiled boy
While my rights to that don’t apply at all I know
And now I bang my head to the wall
And I ignore what’s become clear to all
I’m a small mind with a fear to fall
A fear to all

Subversive Decay
Whirlpool thoughts in a circle
While children's songs dominate
The digest of my ear worms
I just don't tolerate
Repetition as a base for attachment
Attachment as a base for feelings of safety
Feelings of safety as a base for growing op in chaos
And subversive decay
When the hell can I let go of him
Whirlpool thoughts in a circle
While stuffed animals debate
Whether or not they will eat this
It's just too much on my plate
Reminiscence of a careless childhood
A careless childhood of a boy in the privileged west world
The west world's got some problems like blood on it's fingers
And lots of taxes to pay
When the hell can I let go of this

Ni Hao
The disarming ways in which you get your way
Still trying out the scripts of this whole play
Still kicking against the rules like a moth drawn to the light
Glow like a lightbulb when you sing your song
Keep trying not to poison you this young
With my monotone reply to your pressing questionnaire
Like what does an owl eat?
Mice
What do Chinese say?
Ni Hao
Did you see me hiding behind my hands?
Well yes off course!

Fading Memory
I’m hiking in mountains and the everlasting snow
I sleep under stars slowly losing my ego
The moment I’ll reach it nobody will know
I remember knocking out alarms
Handing out breakfasts
I remembering tidying tables
Putting on jackets
I’m engaging in traffic
I’m smiling to colleagues
I’m hitting I-like-buttons
O god the memory fades now
I’m hiding in mountains and the everlasting snow
I sleep under stars slowly losing my ego
The moment I’ll reach it nobody will know

Trustee
Time come I win a million euros I buy a house on poles
No one preaches me when I will spend the rest on clothes
This is nothing but my own call
I’m the last one wearing the family name
I’ll be running scared till night time
But there’s no crime in that
and I said
Yesterday I got a new trustee
She’s denying me the things I want
and the things I need
For my family
When I hit her right there on the ground right where she’s been found
In her eyes I saw her asking me to pour me one more tea
I’m so through with running for my queen
And her asking me where the hell I’ve been
My last name has always been great
It dies within my grave
but I said
Yesterday I got a new trustee
She’s denying me the things I want
and the things I need
For my family

Pan Of Gold
God has no memory
That’s why he forgives so easily
He feels no urgency
To put out the garbage make it tidy
He’s got a great imagination
Like his rainbow
A pan of gold that can never be reached
Only be told
Written in a diary
There is no dove or crow
Only an arc-like cage for me
God sits under his tree
He feels enlightened and holy
Commands a tattoo sleeve
And treats himself a wellness weekend
And a Malaysian condo cleaner
What a blessing
A pan of gold that can never be reached
Only be told
Written in a diary
There is no dove or crow
Only an arc-like cage for me
