APOLOGY IS POLICY I just did what I've been told: the workings of a bigger machine. Apology is policy, hope is cure, war is peace maker, advertising is Art. Getting numb may be an appropriate way of self-preservation. If you got them once, I guess you've been fooled ten. You know, the bitches are clever, they have money, will and time. They are trained to smile and so are we. They all have been teached to lie, and we all have been teached to listen and to believe. Repression is protection, dumbness entertains us, lying is becoming a need.

EMBARRASSMENT CITY i would give a year of breathing just to make sure you could forgive me i'm alone with this cold coffe now i hate how it tastes but i'll drink it anyway what a great love potion it's average to sleep it's exciting to burn but most of the time i do nothing dancing and singing in the twilight of the worries i no longer care about i could have been but i didn't some more beauty and it's all i need if they sweat civilization, i just suck and sweat shame and laziness i'm begging for food, and asking for rest you'll probably never be aware of that I dedicate my sleepless nights to you when there is way too much cold blood it makes relationships a bit more complicated is there a way to say i don't want to change? it's just a funny game i don't care to loose sounds more like obviousness
3.
EGYPTIAN NIGHTS what's the point of making something everybody's waiting for. what's the sense of saying you're an artist when everything you do is reproducing and reproducing why would we be friends since we got nothing in common free kindness never made things on we choose what we aim for and they have no right to lead because WE are creating and THEY don't care about nothing they're just slaves and will remain full nations of slaves waiting to be feed do they deserve it ? do they deserve it ? why don't you help them ? since they're asking to be drown, this can't be. i must be paranoid when the only thing i say is take you life back ! and take your mind back ! just to laugh just to laugh but they don't laugh they just tout
4.
CAN I GRAB MY SELF-CONFIDENCE OUT OF YOU ? like a lion, behind a fence, still trying to prove he could get out if he wanted to like a mirror, that is useless unless you stand in front it's smooth and exciting to look at the world and try to challenge it, but we all need strengh and energy i'm a vampire, i need your blood to shine so you gave it to me smiling and i flew away i'll come back to bite for sure tomorrow, after this cynical parade some glasses of temporary suicide and some form of self-forgiving i'll come back for one more sheepish bite
5.
BROKEN STREETLIGHT sometimes it's hard to feel alive when you are stiff and got a black eye when as usual in here, it's rainy, and windy and cold add a hangover and try to complete the picture tonight even the streetlights have stopped but i'm still walking like i always do the pavements are soft and i'm singing to the music. reminds me of a night in Vienna or Zurich a long time ago, long time ago, drunk memories just a hazy impression of something i already lived this broken streetlight, this dark musical street reminds me of one or two nights somewhere else will i ever get the rest i need ? is over there warm enough for me ? i guess i should stay home for a little while
6.
Fuck Sleep: Everyday Is NOT The Day i need to walk can you go faster ? you may know my face you may think i'm everywhere to choose is to give up and i really like to choose i still don't know all the pavements of my algorythmic life today is not the day this is going to end i have work to do, i have a work to go to i have roads to drive and i got no time for you i got this show to run, and you're so lazy and dumb this has to be done so get away from me
7.
THE GREAT DISPOSITIONS we all should take part of something we all have a role to play in here and this is mine because this is much more than just music because we play it the way that means everything because there's nothing else to think about and that every muscle gets tense Our DIY punk scene still have great dispositions a friend of mine told me once that friendship was the only reason to get in a fight it still is a foe of mine told me once that he had better things to do, he had better things to do but he won't be here in two years, and i know i will, i know i'll try no matter where we go, i won't ask for justice and rain and cold are nothing cause we leave tomorrow so far from here there are roads to drive
8.
DISCLOSED RUMORS: BRUTUS IS WITH HIMSELF AT WAR I can’t see where i’m going It sucks and I can’t do nothing to destroy, to create It all means nothing to me Let’s cry tonight let’s forget tomorrow Please don’t blame me Because I don’t know what I do I just want to walk with the Music, in my ears And I’ll be all right What about you, what about you ? Will you make it without me ? Please call it an accident Be sure there’s nothing left to say Please send me right to hell So I can forget to be kind I can’t stand their laughs Beware of my anger I burnt all I had to loose Can you believe this ? There’s no bright sky no trendy happiness Let’s talk about everything we gave up, what we missed I really deserve to Die alone And I won’t complain I’ll listen, to the world And i’ll be happy to go Itss not a tragedy It’s more like natural selection Ignorance is bliss I pray for my dissolution
9.
FOREHEAD SCARS FOR FREE there's no place left to hide say the stars but they're so high that it's so easy to them pyramids don't extend corpses fuck no they don't so i let the boat fucking sink it's none of my business if you sink with all you believe in i realized i can't stand perfection (can you ?) i found myself splashing mud around when i promised not to do so i hate when my songs talk about my problems becoming yours but i guess it's just the way it is back in mediocrity i feel as if i were myself again
10.
Never Ask 02:10
NEVER ASK It's not really guilt but i admit it's weird to notice you were giving your last breath a chance in the world i was drowning my boredom in whiskey and trends of lust and luxury half a city by foot in the cold night a sad pilgrim who tries not to cry the tears would instantly froze the tears would froze in a second the same beers and always the same guys i don't know that much, i don't know you that much they never ask for anything, i do the same, i try we all know at least one thing: dreams don't come true by themselves we have to get over the unavoidable and never talk about it again let's bury it somewhere under the roots of our anger
11.
SELF-MEDICATION EXPERIMENTS addicted to selfishness this man has no head and I hate it, I hate it ! I don't remember when it started and for now i'd prefer to remain on my own everything will be alright don't wait for me these days these weeks maybe i'll never come back self-medication experiments look at me in the eyes and see how much I care about everything please understand there's no way for me to fit in since there is no solution let's make sure there's no problem not so easy, not so difficult I can't even look at me in the mirror, my eyes are so old I can't understand what future means you do not need me you would be unhappy anyway I will get old anyway I will loose everything anyway I will be stuck in my mind anyway I will hate you for that anyway it wasn't all-that-bad-before look at me in the eyes and see how much I care about everything please understand there's no way for me to fit in since there is no solution let's make sure there's no problem not so easy, not so difficult every moment has its worries I don't care anymore, I wish I never did because everything is dead by now I wish I could sleep and dream forever then maybe I could really talk to you
12.
THE RULE WE HAVE It's time to hit the floor one more time you know we don't care anymore we'll forget it just as well it's a rule we have: we forget to care we forget to hope we forget to ask we forget to stop you'll probably say i'm negative and that it is too easy i'll answer i never signed for any competition thanks for your help anyway we're the dark ghosts you'll never understand we stabbed our memories a long time ago to prove ourselves we weren't insane yet to see how far we could go it's a rule we have: we forget to sleep we forget to smile we forget to trust we forget to close our eyes we saw everything and poured a lot more into that glass
