MAYBE IT’S JUST LEFT OF THE VINEYARD
I was weightless
I tiptoed
I did everything
Except being an average Joe
Every kiss you give
Gives me the power to exist
I wasn’t born to be an island
I wasn’t born to be so shut closed
Things just progressed that way
Like watching the perfect exit and the door slam
This is who I am
I was born with paper wings
So afraid of the paper moon
Always tiptoed passed the flames
Lived behind thick glass
Always feeling marooned
Yet I always knew where I wanted to be
It was always any place but here
But the wings smouldered away
The moon became real
Growing up breaks
Innocence seal
Still there were hollow days
Days that went
Days that stayed
But you
Dear satin skin
You arrived
I found my way
There will be days of thunder and fire
I will lift my shield and fight off the dragon
Make my way through the barricades
Make my way passed the pyres
We will cling together underneath
a burning arcade
The day we were born
sealed out faith

ÜBERTECHNIK
Pipes fiercely piercing the skyline
Black smoke they breathe
The dream of Baal
Nebuchadnezzar
Incarcerated by the slippery slope
Dead dogs and Coca-Cola
We howl no more
Receptive and docile
In the morning and at night
We use the same door
Production is made
We stare without blinking
We focus without thinking
The meds get you through
Even our dreams look desaturated
Is this what Albert meant when he spoke about technology?
Have we become its analogy?
Have we’ve fallen out of our own equation?
Dear Charlie
Dear Orwell
We truly have failed thee
Black smoke they breathe
The dream of Baal
Nebuchadnezzar
Incarcerated by the slippery slope
Dead dogs and Coca-Cola
We howl no more
Receptive and docile
In the morning and at night
We use the same door
Production is made
We stare without blinking
We focus without thinking
The meds get you through
Even our dreams look desaturated
Is this what Albert meant when he spoke about technology?
Have we become its analogy?
Have we’ve fallen out of our own equation?
Dear Charlie
Dear Orwell
We truly have failed thee

TO ALL THE ANGELS I’LL NEVER KNOW
The gargoyles staring down
I lived here forever
But feel like a stranger in this town
Behind each and every glowing window
All the angels I’ll never know
The moon is radiant
The night sky clear
My shadow follows me
As I head to your sanctum my dear
We can be filled with filth
We can be filled with gold
The first is drenched in darkness
The second shines bold
My knees are weak
You are my dream
You cracked this heart of stone
No longer I shall wander by my own
I lived here forever
But feel like a stranger in this town
Behind each and every glowing window
All the angels I’ll never know
The moon is radiant
The night sky clear
My shadow follows me
As I head to your sanctum my dear
We can be filled with filth
We can be filled with gold
The first is drenched in darkness
The second shines bold
My knees are weak
You are my dream
You cracked this heart of stone
No longer I shall wander by my own
THE TRIPE AND ITS SERVANTS
Religion preaches unity
But only creates segregation
Politicians promise solutions
But are the root of the problem
Television sells us dreams
But daily we walk through the nightmare
Magazines present us artificial perfection
But I know true perfection can be found in the honest heart
Instant fame means nothing
Unless you have the guts to make your hands dirty
True art craves for that
Why do we put our faith in the hands of the visionless?
The passionless?
Whom only mission seems repression and nepotism
When will we rise from the ashes
And decide what’s good for us?
We know what’s good for us
It’s true
We really do
I gave up voting just as I gave up smoking
Pills and other thrills
Why should I vote for any of those misery makers?
Dream killers?
The soul takers?
Squeezing out every ounce of creativity
Who fear a second renaissance
and forcefully hold it back?
Doubt is not the enemy
for doubt can make one bloom
I truly hope the light will once again burn in us
Otherwise it will be brimstone and gloom
Will we survive this lose/lose game?
I’ll tell you shortly after the atomic rains
AT GUNPOINT
Something strange happened to me when I was held at gunpoint
Something unexpected
Instead of grovelling in fear I felt nothing
No contempt
No urge to retread
Nothing

BABY I’LL BANG YOU IN HELL
There’s a ripple in the fabric of existence
Did I just repeat myself?
Did I just repeat myself?
Did I just repeat myself?
Did I just repeat myself?
The clouds turn to dust
The stars in peril
The captain is on the loose
And the cattle shriek and shrill
I’m not poking in business I should not poke in to
But from where I stand I can see the deception
I hope so can you

WELL I REALLY HOPE IT WAS WORTH IT
The first time I felt the crack of the belt
I knew what I was in for
The first time I felt the crack of the whip
I knew what life was all about
I knew this world was no Lala land
I knew there where honest people
I knew there was contraband
The first time I was screamed down
I knew about the corruption in this town
And about the killing of reason
For honesty it was hunting season
The first time her eyes shied away
I knew there was this union of ladies in distress
Who during the day act like they could care less
While at night they lie and cry
curled up like a baby
in their beds
of solitude
The last time I loved
I knew I truly loved
But what is love worth?
When love ends up in hurt?
Yeah what’s love worth
When it only ends up in hurt?
RIPE AND LUSCIOUS FRUIT
Sleeping under celestial sky
Only we know why
We felt the burning in the holy hour
Now we’re entangled beneath burning sky
We are the ones summoning the nocturnal spirits
We are the ones achieving the purest joy of being
Flee with me inside my heart
Nothing can tame
Or trap us in a state of lack
Let my flame burn with the same intensity as yours
For we will be reborn in the holy hour
