The Anxiety Plan

We wear our wounds like silver stars
So listen up!
Hey! What’s that sound? Sounds like screaming underwater
Hey! Don’t you lie! Don’t you lie by saying nothing
Say! Say my name! Don’t pretend there’s any winner
Blame! Play the game! First round’s only for beginners

Fast! So let’s go fast! There’s no such thing as being invincible
Quick! Make it last! Recovering from the irreversible

We share these tombs with beating hearts
We wear our wounds like silver stars
We share these tombs with beating hearts

No, I won’t fail! I will prove myself the man I am
No, don’t grow desperate! Just don’t bite the hand that feeds on you
When anxiety’s waiting just stick to the plan
Yes, what a mess! No one said it would be easy
Back! Can’t go back! Just keep losing dead weight
Learn to float before you fly

Just stick to the plan and learn to float

Rise Of The Indecent

Away with your tired, your poor
Huddled masses yearning to breathe
Wolves at the door
Small-minded fools just lacking focus
To identify the real plague of locusts

So we all start as strangers divided at birth
It’s no big achievement to exit the womb
Rise of the indecent

If home is where the heart is there’s no home for the heartless

Away with you cowardly fools
Denial’s not a river in Egypt shipping tools

There’s no such thing as a full boat when we’re all just clutching at straws
Either clinging to shreds of a new deal or reaching for the wreckage of stars

Rise of the indecent

Compassion’s a muscle getting stronger with use
So your chests must be empty as empty as your truth

Rise of the indecent

If home is where the heart is there‘s no home for the heartless

Bite & Sting

Aren’t we all just addicts trying to fill a void?
We want it now, we want it fast, we want it all!
Before we shuffle off this mortal coil

I bear my neck to your fangs
The hunger for that sweet bite and sting

We’re thriving in our discomfort zones
Drowning ourselves in a sea of endless refills
Every hour wounds the last one kills (Let’s play dead!)
Resistance is futile! Annihilation imminent!

Desire, obtain, cherish, destroy
The human condition
We’re stuck in this redundancy rendition
We gladly pay up our vanity fare

Aren’t we all just addicts trying to fill a void?
First it’s fun, then it’s not, then it’s hell!
Like doing 90 in a dead-end street

I bare my neck to your fangs
The hunger for that sweet bite and sting
A match made in heaven (slices of paradise)
Like vein and syringe

Desire, obtain, cherish, destroy
The human condition
We are stuck!
One trick ponies, one track minds

Mainline your job

You are a winner, baby
An asset to this company
In fear of layoffs lately
So keep up that slave mentality

Mainline your job

Now you’re all sinner, baby
Burnt out and lacking sleep
We’re cutting our losses lately
So will you earn your keep

Mainline your job

Rise and shine! Your life is subject to status
ROI determines what your fate is

Give blood, sweat and your tears
Give blood, sweat and your fears

The game was rigged long before you arrived
The short end of the stick is what you’ll get in life

Give blood

You are so tired, baby
The kind of tired you can’t sleep off
There’s another deadline waiting
So give it all you got

Rise and shine! Your life is subject to status
ROI determines what your fate is

Reduce to the max

So stick to your guns
Don’t you let us down

Antimotivational

„Seize the day! The world is yours! Reach for the stars! You’ve got a choice!“
One chance is all I need to fail forever
„Do something today that your future self will thank you for!“
So is giving up too strong a measure?

Maybe we are all where we need to be?
What if I set my mind to „it“ and still accomplish jack shit?
Pursuit of happiness? More like happyish
I think we’ve maxed out

Who needs confidence when I got me?
All inspiration no motivation
Who needs enlightenment when you’re too blind to see?
Live every day like you’re a little more dead inside

Selling happiness in this age of disillusionment
A trade of snake oil salesmen
Telling you to handle life like it is easy
When the house always wins
The house wins anyway

Who needs confidence when I got me?
Half full, half empty? Well I’m still drowning in my glass
Who needs enlightenment when you’re too blind to see?
The house that utter mediocrity built

Pay the rant

My world is over, my world is over already
And you just get to
Watch it burn, watch it burn slow and steady
Well you’re not a winner anyway!
What has God, what has God done for me lately?
It’s not me, it’s you!
An atheist’s considerations of deity

SNAFU

The tumor is me
The tumor in me
The tumor is me
I am the Adam bomb

The taste of pennies in my mouth
This alien heart it feels like trying to burst out
I shot myself, I shot myself but I swear it was in self-defense
Well life is made in mistakes

We are all, we are all born with
A death sentence
The walking wounded and the living dead
Even my reality check bounced

The taste of pennies in my mouth
This alien heart it feels like trying to burst out
I am a work in progress constantly missing the deadline
Well life is made in mistakes

The tumor is me
The tumor in me
The tumor is me
I am the Adam bomb

You don’t know what it feels like
Always love at last sight
When there’s war on the inside
Always war inside my head

A modest proposal

Everything, everything is a self portrait
And everything, everything is a diary
What you don’t know you can make
Mean everything

Remain sedate and choose your soma!
Each in our own personal comas
Just parliaments of one
Self-fulfilling prophecies
The I becomes undone
Assembly line meets masterpiece

So hear me out
Hear me now
My refusal to participate in this tiresome rat race
So this is my
This is my
Modest proposal: let’s walk hand in hand into extinction

Things may change people however stay the same
Things may change people however stay just vain

If ignorance is bliss shouldn’t we be happy all the time?
If ignorance is bliss shouldn’t we be content and just fine?
Something’s slightly amiss, there’s gotta be more to life than this

We’re flawed by design

All that happens (must be known)

Spooks at your door liberty and justice for all no more
This is a war and we’re all red in tooth and claw
We’ll never tell but we’re opened up like a caesarean
Old news is stale so please feed me more

Go back! Just go back to sleep
Blank faces hypnotised by a pale glow
Consumption in absentia caustic and shallow

Crooks in a cloud hush little darling don’t you make a sound
Privacy’s shroud ripped to bits and pieces
Ghosts in a shell forever connected divided we stand
United we fell running this ship aground

All that happens must be known
This is all that you want
This is all that you need
All that happens must be known
For the greater good
For our common ground

We all start clean slated
Unanimous anonymous
The herd is endangered
By its own pompousness

Go on! Keep dreaming of life
Do we have a dream or are we just living?
Sins of omission a liability

All that happens must be known
Is this all that you want?
Is this all that you need?
All that happens must be known
Is this the greater good?
Is this our common ground?

All that happens must be known

Unanimous anonymous
