bring your pieces to the table
wait for the day when you are able
and then we sing
with elephants memory
and invisible strings
____________________
es bleibt nur
der rausch
als illuminierte nachtseite des selbstmörderischen tages
es bleibt nur
das rauschen
als geschäftige alternative zum todesdrang der stille
es bleibt nur
der rauch
als hinweis und spur als leere hülle des verbrannten
es bleibt
nur das auch
als floskel als schöner zu sagen als oder
es bleibt dabei
der weg ist der weg
und das ziel bleibt das ziel
daran sind die tage zu messen

too bright
my light
too light
my spine
and i’ll go as far as i can go
entitled though
i throw my bones
and i catch my breath
with less relapse
chest further forward
neck farther back

To Rest
03:30

i am one quarter fine
extravagant simple swine
a chuckle of swerves
the birth of my nerves
and you ask if i know it yet
but i still don’t know my shit
sedatory low
can't be bothered to show
____________________
and so now fascists are shooting people
in the middle of the street
while their people are voting
for this violence, drum this beat,
sing this song of power proudly
from the empty shell they are
that they were sculpted into by the hands
of history and war
____________________
von allen namen
stehts den schlimmsten
doch ich kann mich darin finden
____________________
by the idea that hell on earth
would just vanish by itself
and take with it all the bodies
all the ashes as they fell
there’s has been no consequence
so how can we be be surprised
by this force that we think is waking up
but it just has never died
____________________
we are all stuck on this wheel
and it grinds us down to dust
and my eyes have started seeing
what i first couldn’t and now must
and it breaks my heart with ease
fills my days with empty fear
and one day we’ll talk in silence
as our faces disappear

Rekindling Hope
01:25
|
|
||
I wanted change
so I changed
I wanted love
so I loved
I wanted peace
so I broke
I wanted hope
so I lost
rekindling hope
seems to be treason
how can we call this life
I’m dying
and you are not breathing
so we are not alive
i’ll let it break my spine
here you have all my time

Work

no it is not the presentation
it’s the context and the song
that has seen this thing before
and has been playing all along
that surrounds your mere existence
that has given you your voice
and your thoughts and your ideas
and the idea of your choice
___________________________
then i work until
my hands are bleeding stumps
and my lungs are flat
and my thoughts are numb
and my legs are broken
and my spirit bare
and have no more mirrors
and i have no more stares
and my voice is gone
and my breath is dry
and my hopeful singing
just passes the time
and then i am replaced
by the following spare
all the sweat and pain
it’s like they were never there
all the swallowed wrath
an indifferent hiccup in space

Sweetness
01:37
|
|
||
so oh do not mistake my tone
for graciousness of peace
for i do hope that this fire
burns the state and the police
and the men that laugh at others
all the men that live in peace
for i hope the violence they bring
are the end that they will see
but there is no god
no judgement
no lever and no hell
patriarchal power
pulls the strings
and rings the bell
_______________
i can't replace
your sweet embrace
i can't replace
your sweetness

Do No Harm
02:13

and to feel this pain now is entitled
and it’s because i was promised sense
and now i‘m not getting what i wanted
and my surprise, well it offends
and it should, because these things
well, they truly are not new
and i am only starting to imagine
how it must feel to be you
_______________
my train is 45 minutes late
all the engineers are busy developing self driving cars
theres a guy in a suit standing right next to me
and i don't know quite what it is
but just hearing him talk on his phone
makes me livid and super fucking sad
______________________
do no harm
take no shit
in the end i am glad i exist
i just hope i‘ll do it differently
_______________________
and because of this core frustration
i lack essential motivation
and even with consideration
all we've got is automation
i'm not writing from the heart
i'm not writing from the heart
what is writing from the heart
what is writing from the heart

and sure they are lighting torches
stealing bullets, writing books
they are writing down our names
they are remembering our looks
__________________
what are the chances
connect the dots
as you fill out the answers
i will forget the thoughts
what makes my shapes
my bones or my games
my song or my shame
am I composed of verses
or of things I need to hide;
from
learning to unlearn
and/or rewire
reuse or retire
I’ll be the basket
you be the grapes
you be the question
I the sound it makes

Quiet Reloaded
01:51
|
|
||
it’s the saddening of silence
while the knees are slowly bent
and time and days and weeks and months
and centuries depend
it’s the comfort of the creature
who can wait for things to pass
not in fear and not in danger
and with a breath that still can last

Horizont
01:50
|
|
||
phalanx of lenses
dance of tenses
friction of words
I’ll make you feel
things unheard
find traces of
limbs unused
rejoice when found
and regrown
when bruised
__________
horizontversprechen
ohne aussicht.
morgen wirds besser
oder schlimmer
denn ganz sicher
gleich bleibt es nicht.

Ferryman
01:49
|
|

i am singing to you father
oh you strongest of all things
oh so fearless, oh so clueless
to make a thing that sings
more but just another song infused
with your own way of things
it’s the listening that’s missing
and the pleasure that it brings
what is strength if not a ladder
that uses it’s own reach to lift
others higher, others smaller,
giving itself as a gift
___________
on infinite hold
summer is ending
sampled to pieces
part time pretending
pressed through new hands
woven from old love
lovingly trembling
i am a terrified hum
i am a sum
i have a lot of flaws
but that isn't one
