Blue Sun
cold and still
the old muddy water
she lies bewildered and blind
with a snake on her chest
so show me what you got
I don‘t care what it is
I‘ll take it right here
You‘re so amused
Slightly confused
by the words I use
So why would you think I am happy
while the blue sun runs hot in my veins
Look the clouds of winter
are turning you over
they crawl cross our walls as mad roaches
they dampen our minds
so show me what you got
I don‘t care where it‘s from
I‘ll take it right here
You‘re so amused
slightly confused
by the days we lose
So why would you think i am happy
while the blue sun runs hot in my veins
you shine entwined in waves of pure silver
and I lose my pride, bury my style
to be your guy
Theres no air around us
yet we both go up in flames
theres no way to stop wanting
all those things we cant have
I put it in front of you
do what i gotta do
yet you still win
for what is mine
really is yours
and as a gift, baby
I‘ll burn
I‘ll burn for you

lying Man
You‘ll find me
floating in your drink
and it hurts to see
the ecstasy of the earth
come open your jaws
I‘m the right one to let in
in this petulant dawn
all I am has been withdrawn
It takes a hundred hours
from the windowpane to the ground
Hold the feeling up like charred black
beat those streetlight vultures of your back
you‘re proud, do you remember why you cared?
The impact it may shatter me or flatter me
who knows?
Dearest city of mine
full of oily pathways
please put this man down
into your cold beds
I am carried by wind
for my legs are made of cloth
I‘m the flying man
never coming down again
Fifteen meters to come
I fall into the face of the sun
Hold the feeling up like charred black
beat those streetlight vultures of your back
you‘re proud, do you remember why you cared?
The impact it may shatter me or flatter me
who knows?

Simple Light
You know that I adore you
And your rooms of sun and glass
The expanding void that suits you
And the effort that I lack
Elysium in shivers, Elysium in waves
I wanna stay in here forever
Your caleidoscope embrace
If I had one wish
I would wish for you to ride the winds of god
To be drawn towards the simple light
And cast a shadow back
For me to soothe my head
They walk with eyeless faces
As they cross into your land
They trample and they plunder
Enjoying things that we find bland
Elysium in shambles, Elysium in flames
I‘m the one that they‘ll find lacking
While I tear into what‘s theirs
If I had one wish
I would wish for you to kill me soft and slow
While I‘m drawn towards the simple light
And cast a shadow back
That paints the whole world black
Words, they pour
Out of throats
Black and shiny like god
Why do I
Feel so cold
In the shakes of a storm?

Chroma
Will you give me chroma?
Fill me up with the colors, I deserve
There‘s no texture to my dullness
Or to my slithering nerves
I am drunk on your windshield
Turning to diamonds of stagefright
While you paint your lips in panic blue
We took an empty train down to Japan
And I saw you laugh with the hyenas
In a solemn room that was pure black
So will you give me chroma?
That thing that makes up your world
Push it under my skin, dear
So I can throw up the rainbow you earned
I wanna be a whore with pink lipstick
Blowing kisses for a cripple
While you eat raw flesh from crimson pools
You wear a coat made of dead teeth
That has been spat out by the moloch
While you carry my ashes in your purse
So will you give me chroma?
And maybe eidos too
Lately I‘ve been transparent
A thousand days and nothing new
So will you give me chroma?
I find it cracks in my spine
I want my eyes to see the colors
That flow from your everlasting wine
Oh, hang me high
From a bridge that touches the rose sky
Over a stream that flows yellow bile
Let my skeleton be on fire
Permeated by the tint of emerald eyes
while orange cadillacs drive on by
All these hungry colors of your river
Feed of my bones, I‘m getting thinner
And thinner
Oh, give me chroma

Letter of Resignation
The love crowd has a crack
pushing feelings through a bottleneck
and even though it‘s glamorous, it still feels like porn
They got us caught in a boring enigma
so if you hate your job I feel ya
this crumpled voice is trying to be reborn
please keep it warm
So I quit
My letter of resignation
is written in subterranean pink
it glows when doused in alcohol
and it knows just what you think
I built a house out of plastic bottles
next to a lake that is slowly filling with sand
I‘ll be here swinging, when the summer‘s long
and winter cracks
So I quit

Inferno
I spike my milk with gasoline
To show myself the state I‘m in
I swing my narcissistic hips
I throw my fist onto your lips
For sweet kisses I‘d do anything
I‘m just as vicious as I‘ve ever been
Celebrating my tommorrows in
your gloom (see you soon)
There‘s still glitter in my cough and bones
There‘s still lead in my boots
I stomp my cloven hoof
And every time I bite a flame
I spit my fire into your rain
Cause I‘m over you
Inferno
There‘s an ashtray in my eye you see
Those cigarrette butts ain‘t hurting me
I see the headlights of a train
And I sure hope it drives my way
There`s so much fun in a collision
In taking hits that blurr the vision
I‘ll dig the blood out of this town
with a spoon (make you swoon)
There‘s still glitter in my cough and bones
There‘s still lead in my boots
I stomp my cloven hoof
And every time I bite a flame
I spit my fire into your rain
Cause I‘m over you
Inferno
Inferno
Let it rise
Let it flow
The air is smoke
Just like always
Going slow
Inferno
Let it rise
Let it flow
the air is coal
just like always, just like always
going slow

Lotus
I‘ve been going down to Ulysses‘ whiskey bar
The singer there is beautiful she wears a dress made of red light
And eventhough it seems she never notices me, I am still pretty sure I could be hers
Oh, but „Never again.“ The barman said and he put something delicious in my drink
Yesterday she talked to me for the first time
Her eyes were pearly white, her teeth ink black
She said „Why won‘t you try this? It‘s just a little sting on the leg.“
„And afterwards you‘ll be floating here with me.“
Will she ever come over again? I don‘t know
Cause lately my thoughts have been kind of slow
Yesterday I looked at my shadow and it was a dog
Grinding it‘s neon-teeth into my skull
A dozen red lips in the ceiling fan, when it rains
But I don‘t really mind, cause I always feel so raped
And all of these little children, playing with broken glass
One of them swallowed my pills, well what a mess
So if you ever wonder how the story ends
I gotta tell you I don‘t remember the exact moment
I found a lotus in my boot and I ate
The fog like grey lightning in my brain

Contemplate the Night
I can't seem to comprehend
what happened to me?
a river of grey men
they are singing to me
the light here looks evil
where am I supposed to be?
the film is distorted
the silver calling me
Yet I can not contemplate the night
Yet I can not understand
Yet I can not come with you
But maye someday, I'm overcome
I can't seem to comprehend
what your are talking about
those words are like dead birds
falling out of the sky
yes, I was cold
and lonely too
the door slammed shut
bored of the view
Yet I can not contemplate the night
Yet I can not walk in rhymes
The madmen in the chruchtower scream your name
If I gotta be this stupid, at least I'll be deranged
Yet I can not
I know, I can not
yet I can not
I know, I can not
Maybe someday
I will understand
the black city
in the heart of bigger, stronger, better man
I know, I can't
I'm through

Red Box
Red is the box
Where i lock in my thoughts
I wish they‘d stay still
But they keep on pouring in
Red is the box
Where my true love lies
I keep her tied
Til the day I arrive
Red is the box
Whith a halo made of nail
Where ash and golden sparks
Throw shadows on your face
And now I‘m nothing
I‘m nothing to you
And now I am nothing
I‘m nothing to you
Red is the box
that keeps me afloat
I got an ocean in there
of violent control
Red is the box
Where our hands never touched
And the crescent moon
Is a broken clock
And now I‘m nothing
I‘m nothing to you
Now I‘m nothing
I‘m nothing to you
Cause red is the box
Where I locked myself away
A glowing cube
Of hot iron in the ground
I smash myself against those walls and burn
But nothing is left outside
And when I‘m down
And when I‘m thorugh
I rather be here than out there with you
Because I‘m nothing now
I‘m nothing to you

Miss Me
It seems someday you‘ll miss me, honey
Because I‘ll be gone
I won‘t be in your drawer or your lampshade
No I won‘t be at home
I will be where the dust grows on trees
And suicidal widows clank their bones
I‘ll dance a jig on the dividing line
Between all the things you know
It seems someday you‘ll miss me, honey
Because I‘ll be gone
I won‘t live on in your liposuction
Or your plastic crows
I‘ll be rolling in a silicone frenzy
While bleeding locusts scream like whores
I‘ll put a finger in your tar pit wound
And smile like burning coal
It seems someday you‘ll miss me, honey
Because I‘ll be old
I won‘t be carrying your obsidian bedstead
With a hand round my throat
I might be hanging from the streetlights
Exhaling needles made of stone
Cooking dinner on a plastic stove
Just like a real man would
It seems someday you‘ll miss me, darling
Cause I‘ll go up in flames
And I won‘t shatter with my amber jaw
Or my crystal teeth
I‘ll be off, far off in the ground
And curse the people that come by
There lies defiance in a winterfly
That chose the summer not to die
Someday you‘ll miss me, you‘ll miss me, darling

White Horse
Oh my
I got caught
I got caught up in the middle
And she found
She found me out
She found me out
And now I‘m low
Will the devil ever leave me?
Come dripping out my pores?
And all your black jokes and hilarities
He‘ll be pulling out of his mouth
I‘m made of chrome
I‘m made of sulphur
My guitar plays only for the dead
Electricity keeps me together
And when it falters
I can‘t breathe
When I falter, I can‘t breathe
I am thrilled
You found me out
You led me up to gallow‘s hill
And there I swing
in the gentle breeze
forever free, a crystal bone
And for the fowl I wail and sing
And carve into the sand your name
For fowl is fair and fair is fowl
20 years older now
Will the devil ever leave me?
Come dripping out of my pores
I keep wishing
for Gates of heaven
to breathe the air like i used to do
He rides a white horse into the sun
He rides a white horse into the ground
Oh take me, take me along
And I‘ll be gone without a sound
