so far from what’s on otherside
not clear what’s a peace of mind
I try to tell you how I feel
but the world is louder
went west to see the deal of all
came back with words I knew before
not wiser, even more confused
I know nothing, let’s stay this way
it’s me, the sky and years ago
debating what is yet to come
would you like to know the future, sir
it’s not cheap to make you feel at ease
back and forth
and on and on
wanted to be someone else but ended up as me again
what’s wrong I haven’t seen your face
that’s right, I mean in a real place
all I know, I had to cut the ties
to come out through the other side
feels fresh, just like a newly born
with marks and bruises here or there
not wiser, maybe less confused
but life appears as if brand new
back and forth
and on and on
wanted to be someone else but ended up as me again

The Leader
04:02
|
|

nobody wanted but everybody needed
a solid figure for generations to come
I’m acting funny, acting like a grown up
shaking hands and important words
make me a leader and pay a solid figure
transfers made to my swiss account
I’ll be the first one to only say what is true
you don’t believe me so watch for proof
what’s now
just look how I build my truth
while my empire falls
it was meant to be no use
I promise you all
I wanted only good
put you before my needs
won’t ever let you down
I’m even closer to you, not to my family
you understand all my fears and pain
what’s even funnier
you gave me my profession
no please, no need to educate
I’m just a natural, charm and good lookin’
and my smile is my secret strength
I am your leader but clock is ticking louder
give me a chance not to slip away
what’s now
just look how I build my truth
while my empire falls
I promise you all
I wanted only good
put you before my needs
won’t ever let you down

More & More
03:22

is it catchy enough?
or is it pretty enough?
do you really want more
of whatever, whatever, whatever?
but what do you mean?
behind all those words
you’re looking for signs
whatever, whatever, whatever
is it dirty enough?
or do you want more skin?
just to feed the eyes
attention, attention, attention
so you think that’s smart?
for something that’s not
and you give it all
potential, potential, potential
as the people we want more and more
doesn’t have to be smart
doesn’t have to be great
and we’ll give it a name and we treat like ours
and you’ll have no say
and you’ll have no say
is it new enough?
but not modern too much
so the masses will play
wherever, whatever, whatever
is it private enough?
so it feels like home
and you make it your own
forever, forever, forever
do you belong to them?
or the other way round
how dependant is that
relation, relation, relation
is it scary for you?
when they all disappear
it’s you
whatever, whatever, whatever
as the people want more and more
doesn’t have to be smart
doesn’t have to be great
and we’ll give it a name and we treat like ours
and you’ll have no say

Ought To Know

please don’t send me all
your news
I don’t read them no more, no more
I’m a couple hours late
standing right behind the world
give me a moment to grab it all
just a second to find the shot
till it fades like the lights on my cake
just to prove I make things in all states
just to prove I know faces, know places, new names and I
prove I know names, and go places, new faces, I
prove i know names, and go places, new faces, I
prove I know names, I go places, I know faces, I know
am I old to know
to know what I should have done
and what I should have done and I say
away, away, ok bye
and then I ought to know
what, what I should have done
what i should have done
no way, ok, ok
and then I ought to know
what what I should have done
what i should have done
away, away, away

Meditation 1

convinced myself that the shift will happen
I just have to make a move
the world starts spinning, at the pace I wanted to
but faster than it used to
what if I told you that it’s gonna get better?
and all the cells will work
work even stronger
making you feel
feel for much longer
would you believe me if I did?

Practice Is My Passion

why so focused
high above the ground
please don’t put me where I could have found
all this mess I’ve cleared up years ago
surprise, nothing bothers me now
seemed like never would have been the case
mind is floating, thoughts go hand in hand t
akes some practice
years to meditate
to put you right into this glory state
somebody told me
to leave it all behind
the meaning of all means
was right before my eyes
all this mess I’ve cleared up years ago
mind is floating, thoughts go hand in hand
takes some practice
years to meditate
to put you right into this glory state
why so focused
high above the ground
please don’t put me where I could have found
seemed like never would have been the case
surprise, nothing bothers me now
somebody told me
to leave it all behind
the meaning of all means was right before my eyes
i rapidly bend and move
coming through this state alive
and the body has never proved
that it’s no the one to fight
somebody told me
to
leave it all behind
the meaning of all means was right before my eyes
i rapidly bend and move
coming through this state alive
floating away from blue

Pack Your Dreams

pack your dreams in all your bags
waiting for the longest trip to come
tell my mother it wont be long
but I might get exhausted from all the fun
tell the world to help itself
I already have a lot on my plate
tell my friends
it’s me, no one else
just a little more crazy but who isn’t crazy anyway
cut the crap, get to the point
and show us what the ending credits read
tell us all there’s a prize for each
for open arms to human needs
give me more than I might need
all already bored in their minds
shame on you, you’ve ignored it now
nothing bad in wanting more and more
pack your dreams in all your bags
waiting for the longest trip to come
tell my mother it wont be long
but I might get exhausted from all the fun
tell the world to help itself
I already have a lot on my plate
tell my friends
it’s me, no one else
just a little more crazy but who isn’t crazy anyway

Six Feet Under
04:53
|
|

what a surprise,
you’re here
one step at a time to fear
you’re alive
proud of you and your deeds
how far have you come to see me
let me speak
watch how the end begins
and opposite lives appearing
make a wish
promise me when I die
just drive me back to my home and
I’ll be fine
but when you get older there’s no clarity still
six feet under
there are no answers, there are only questions out here
six feet under
everyone knows my name
that time when I walked for hours straight
for cities' sake
lucky am I to see
I ended up where I started
now my life begins
but when you get older there’s no clarity still
six feet under
there are no answers, there are only questions out here
six feet under
but what did you miss way back when as a kid
six feet under
we came here
