experimenting with the glider
that ones held the son Daidalos
tasting the heights, anti-frights
suicide syndromes has vaporised
born to rule the UY Scuti
Another sun without a shade
born to rule the UY Scuti
Another son is twisting fade
hesitation makes you look so unkind
it’s all in the stars
shut the aperture, no need for brightness to decide
which way heaven lies
separating all the blunters
from whatever there's left on the plate
don’t oppose the trenches of modern love
shaped like a grave, coloured as a tangerine
born to rule the UY Scuti
Another sun without a shade
born to rule the UY Scuti
Another son is twisting fade
i’m the only sight for sore eyes
it’s all in the stars
meet my expectations, for breakfast, in a sword-fight
cleaving those who might
born to rule the UY Scuti
Another sun without a shade
born to rule the UY Scuti
Another son is twisting fade

Scorch Your Face
02:40
|
|||
Darling won’t you go and cut my
Brain in half
Between thought and expression
Lost in my limestone cell
If it’s all accidental
You can call it faith
But if it’s calculated
Its frown upon as one big mistake
Sugar Cane virgin puffin on
Mentholated cigarettes
You’ve been dying for 10 years straight
Why don’t you take a break
If Your exit plan is a curtsy
To the royale navy ships
Then good luck being stuck
in your humdrum-town
with no particular train of thought
Now you blame it
On the wasted years you didn’t try
to get an education
you blame it
On the wasted hours as a counterfeit
at the counter of your love-affairs
you blame it
On Every minute that you felt
Institutionalised
But in the handle of this reprise
you stil hold on tight
Waiting for the next sunny day to convey
These twisted trouble times
I pick my raffle tickets to
Get out of here
It turns out I’m the one turning
In the tombola
Looking at my self-portrait
Dissolving in the blaze
Scorch your face, who’s to blame?
Now repaint yourself
As old as you dare
Now I blame it
On the wasted years I didn’t try
to get an education
you blame it
On the wasted hours as a counterfeit
at the counter of my love-affairs
I blame it
On Every minute that I felt
Institutionalised
But in the handle of this reprise
I stil hold on tight
Waiting for the next sunny day to convey
These twisted trouble times

As a middleclass wasteland wonder
Scooping ice cream through the teeth to the bottom of my throat
Just licking all the lack of sweetness
A perfect settle mindset filled with no ideas to turn it off
Looking through the glass of suspicion
taught to be jealous, by those who can take them off
bleeding noses falling through the playground
Tell all the ghost drivers driving left side has always the right
nostalgi cyanide and cardboard silhouettes
isn’t it nice
so many modern melodies, no need to whistle ‘bout a thing
isn’t it nice
Venom can be a good taste in time
Get use to feel 40 years behind
take a rumble fire swirl storm hurricane
glimpse of remorse kissing all lust sucking schemes to an end
One taste on a brand new flavour
Makes all the cavemen crumble down in downtown suitcase souvenirs
nostalgi cyanide and cardboard silhouettes
isn’t it nice
so many modern melodies, no need to whistle ‘bout a thing
isn’t it nice
Venom can be a good taste in time
Get use to feel 40 years behind
oh no.
take it all in aspects of the time
we use in stereo scenario lines
we don’t do nothing but state the claim we do
oh no.
it’s a waste of time this noise is killing me
From a fountain of a shivering seduce
keeps those eyes and those ears to yourself
or strap your brain out on these sounds
You know it won’t require guire more
just turn it up, just turn it up, just down
At least that’s what i thought i thought
oh no.
it’s so intriguing how a king can loose his head
with a record label strapped around his belt
Like a ocean liner sailing in a pond
Such great frustration not to care about
Self absorbing polyphonic doubt
Oh no.
Please just turn it off, just turn it off

The third will come and the third will go
I extract the light from a burning hole
Look at me twice and you will surely die
tangled up in time, at the desolation row
I am the master, the saviour within
Look at me once and I’ll show you the end
It sucks to be the best, when the best around is you
I won’t believe myself until I’ll tell the truth
So watch me die
I pay no mind
I’ll be you’re mirror
If you’re greater than man
I’ll be the postcard
You can’t help to stamp
When you are desperately waiting
For yourself to take a stand
In a life that is blue, when lies they’re true
And water befriends fire
When you are drowning in the blue
Beware of green he will get to you
When you feel no remorse
Don’t walk through my door
When there is no way to turn
Just turn around
Nothing has to stay, not today
Along with life, everything seems so great

Tourist in New York
03:22
|
|||
Jesus said to Mary
I’ve sold my soul
I’m bound to run away
Before I get old
He ran in to the deli stand
Slapped a kid for being too square
Yo Joseph let’s get out of here
You can furnish my loft
Let’s get pissed and arrested
The shaman said to the dog
I would walk five hundred miles
To get rid of the dust
The Buddhist monk gave me a bracelet
For a dollar and a dime
I refused to pay him
It was at highline park
The Buddhist monk ripped of my arm
He said to me that I was cursed
I was a tourist in New York
I was a tourist in New York
I was a tourist in New York
I was a tourist in New York
SOLO!!!!
The dog said to me:
Give me your hat!
He sounded so convincing
That I gave him my hat
Walking down Chambers Street
I thought I saw a bird
But it was just a tourist in New York
Falling from the sky
Is that clerk or a virgin?
No its a tourist in New York

Nothing really lingers
When everything last
And it’s a dreamyard lullaby
with music from my past
And I’m having third thoughts
About my second ones
And I Can’t seem to figure
Out all these figures of grey
Starrring at my face in complete disarray
While smashing my forehead
Into the tombstone
I figured i’d be better spelled
With a Chisel
Running ‘round chasing no job or education
It’s a cliché that leaves Campbell soup
On you tanktop
without no dignity to unstain the day
Kaleidoscopeing through my desperation
Lying naked on the Carpet floor
Kaleidoscopeing through my desperation
Who’s lying naked on the Carpet floor
Either way it suits to say
that I’m hopelessly proud
of my unprofound reality
It’s a razor rollercoaster
With no constructed ends
when the social media says
I’ve got no friends
And our precious majesty
Is drawing lord of the rings
Our soulfood is rotten
Our hometown forgotten
but I still got a timelaps
with all my favourite memories
Kaleidoscopeing through my desperation
Lying naked on the Carpet floor
Kaleidoscopeing through my desperation
Who’s lying naked on the Carpet floor
They say I’m writing too much sciencefiction
That’s not entirely my fault
They say I’m on the verge of contradiction
That’s not entirely my fault
Either way it suits to say
that I’m hopelessly proud
of my unprofound reality
staring back at all these
figures of grey
a whole music scene
with nothing to say
well there’s always one more
silverfish upon the bathroom floor
and if you don’t want more
you better pick up a sandal

Nothing But a Taster
04:06
|

I’m quit untied
watch me snowing again
were mosquitoes hide
i’m their junkfood chain
all Opiliones I appeal
That’s me snowing again
they line me up, and draws my fields
that’s me snowing again
i’ve got a bag of explanation
counting nothing but the scores
and I can’t deal
I can’t deal
these dominos after dark
nothing but a taster
nothing but a taste
nothing but a taster
nothing but a taste
shoot a rapid-fire hole
loose the ends on the trombone
I saw you you naked in the dawn
with all the other spoons
bitter milk was getting cold
That’s me snowing again
But it cut me loose from the alarms
all the plastic and the charm
and I can’t feel
I can’t feel
these backroads to your mouth
nothing but a taster
nothing but a taste
nothing but a taster
nothing but a taste
I wanna be the new recruit
like the poets from the neighbourhood
they have no grief to lean back on
it has poison all their songs
such a spotlight has a nicely curve
with no bruises and no nerve
thats me snowing again
I wanna freakshow and a blow
suck that strobe
suck it in a bath of seizures
kiss your dreams like i kiss you
goodbye
nothing but a taster
nothing but a taste
nothing but a taster
nothing but a taste
sometimes I’m a crucifix
and sometimes you’re Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ Himself

Verge and Virtues
04:42
|
|||
Stick with me and you won't get far
Stick with me and you won't get far
Cause I
I've missed you like all of the trains
Departing from misleading platforms
Deranged dialogues piled up in a row
Wasted bodies wasting their souls
Boys stands on toes and the girls in their heels
With a mixed misconception of
Everything more than what a smalltalk diagram fulfils
You know that thoughts can kill
I'm no survivor
I'm no survivor
I'm permanent wasted
Digging into my verge and virtues
no survivor at all
no survivor at all
Watch the sparkling glimpse of the fuse
As It flickers past the corner in
Trembling self-made horoscopes
It rises from my match head
See where it goes
I can surely repeat all the lines
From the crash and collision of my time
It stands to reveal, no vendetta to stab, nothing to feel
You know thoughts can kill
I'm no survivor
I'm no survivor
I'm permanent wasted
Digging into my verge and virtues
no survivor at all
no survivor at all
Taking all the ashes of the ashes to the ashes of my queen
Buried six feet under 8 tons of telephone calls
Shifting all the molecules of redefined rituals
Like a book torn up with a chainsaw
Counting 10 times you were a constant reminder of remorse
No survivors at all
It’s fine, It's me who should be buried a long time ago
It's the vines and the leaves growing on the cemetery walls
Who are the lock to the grief
I'm no survivor
I'm no survivor
I'm permanent wasted
Digging into my verge and virtues
no survivor at all
no survivor at all

Barton Thinks

Just checked in to my own self-conscious
Where the walls are slippery
And the neighbours come and go
I want to ask
If you’re the girl
From the picture on my wall
Cause you’re a beauty
Like the one in my bed
Loosing her Blood
Loosing her head
Heil Hitler or become aware
Of the common misbelief
Are you a common soul or a killer
Or are you even there?
At the top of this masterpiece
the governor disagrees
Could have been a drinker
Like my idol
Could have listen
Could have shut my mouth
And let him laugh

Strangers, Here We Come
04:28
|
|||
I met a guy that claimed to be a bird,
and then he jumped of the roof and died
I met this girl, she claimed to be a clerk
And then she jumped of the roof and died
There’s a virgin trapped in his closet
He was beaten up and then he died
There is a billion people or more on earth
And we will all eventually die
So clap your hands and sing along to sound people crying in despair
Telling thousands to head home, cause you don’t want them here
Lets paint the night red with innocent blood…. yeah
It doesn’t matter if it doesn't kill them yeah
Restrain from the chaos and be just like me
We all know and love father democracy
Baby don’t cry, daddy aint gonna play with you tonight
Strangers here we come with more than we are holding on
Strangers here we come with more than we are holding on
He painted the sidewalk red with organic ink from his face
People didn't seemed to care… yeah
Could it be my destiny
Awake?
Rising as we fall
See the fountains of my heart
You are so beautiful in the dark
I will build an endless wall
I am the inquisitor of love
Baby you’re my star
So are junkies in the park
Strangers here we come with more than we are holding on
Strangers here we come with more than we are holding on

Each & Everyone
04:54
|
|||
Each and everyone, wired to their personal phones
With stereo channels Alluding announcements regarding
An unspeakable expansion of the everyday grey silhouette
That is wearing your hat, your lips and your shoes
And i can see it has lent your poor handwriting too
Each and everyone, can see they've drove in vain
When they read the spray-painted sign on the sign that explains
That all the morning choking part-time time-killer traffic delays
Is preformed by a nihilistic underground association
That some deluded establisher is trying to invent
Don't float over in clover
You cannot Levitate, you cannot levitate
Anyway or any way out
Buy buy buy modern closets, hide your skeletons
Never be confused, never be confused,
You ain't got nothing to loose
And all around you you'll see
The loyal assemble of the Raincoat dress code
Marching like marbles into
The center of their daily purpose
And the man by the wheel
Has a hard time lying on the road ahead of him
Trying to maneuver past the hourglass
With a blackhole capacity
Each and everyone has nothing left to post
Except this half heartbeat paper sheet formed as
An empty closed envelope, scoped, coped and dysfunctionlyzed entirely for-filled with all valued ideas
That the first real monday ate
Along with your food, your face and your plate
Each and everyone Submit the subtitled scenario
Until you've walked the hole town with a frown realizing
That no one's gonna spell your name in a neonfame frame
Unless your willing to sustain an complex diversion
Of your former sturdy, compass suspicion
That could have sharpened your idea ideal
Don't float over in clover
You cannot Levitate, you cannot levitate
Anyway or any way out
Buy buy buy modern closets, hide your skeletons
Never be confused, never be confused,
You ain't got nothing to loose
