This shit it really has to end It's slowly making me insane We know that there is a big problem And there is one thing left to blame Something's got to give -- we know it Fuck it; hold my beer Give me the gun There is no going back to normal It's sad, but we all know it's true But pointing fingers might be pointless Don't worry I've got two; I'll point for you End this misery -- We need it Take the garbage out --We have to Any volunteers -- No takers? Fuck it; hold my hair Give me the gun

Once or twice I'll be nice, Maybe three You watch out Don't look at me I watch all the TV shows We all know, just how this goes You watch out Don't look at me Getting closer all the time Keep your distance; I'll keep mine You watch out Don't look at me Grab my arm in the hallway Just what the hell you got to say? You watch out Please don't touch me Keep the fuck away from me Keep the fuck away from me You had your chance; you wouldn't stop Not even when I called the cops You watch out Don't fuck with me They'll never find you; I hid you good A little late, but you understood You watch out Don't fuck with me You watch out Don't talk to me You watch out Don't look at me

Just when you thought it was safe to go outside You read a Facebook post that said "everyone's died" Oh well, too bad for them. Guess I'll stay right here I never liked nature much, guess I'll grab my next beer Open the Zoom meeting in my PJs My boss demands we work harder; thank god I'm blazed Meeting continues. Click mute. Can't see; can't hear Turn on the TV, then, guess I'll grab my next beer Needed food; ordered out. This is the best It's fucking 4pm - I'm not even dressed I'm getting used to this; please let me stay home 2020 hindsight can wait, I'm on my phone

20.12.10. The Fear 02:49
lyrics
buy track
Rocking back and forth can't stop this feeling Not sure I can stop the panic. Am I dead? All I gotta do is slow the breathing This will quickly pass; it's all just in my head Thinking of solutions all day long Dig inside my head to find out just what's wrong Up, down, left and right, triggers are everywhere Heart thumping out my chest. I give up. I am scared. It builds and builds and builds and builds and builds and never stops It grows and grows and grows and grows and grows within our thoughts Haven't slept for weeks; I'm trapped; it's coming Thinking left and right escape routes in my head Found a paper bag, but can't stop wheezing Life before my eyes; can't shake this mother fucking dread It builds and builds and builds and builds and builds and never stops It grows and grows and grows and grows and grows within our thoughts It lives it lives it lives it lives it lives in many shapes You run and run and run and run and run, but can't escape

20.12.13. Returning (E. Dickinson) 04:25
lyrics
buy track
I years had been from home, And now before -- now before, And now before the door, I dared not open, lest a face I never saw -- never saw I never saw before Stare vacant into mine And ask my business -- ask my business and ask my business there. My business, -- just a life I left, Was such still dwelling -- was still dwelling, Was such still dwelling there? I fumbled at my nerve, I scanned the windows -- scanned the windows I scanned the windows near; The silence like an ocean rolled, And broke against -- broke against And broke against my ear. I laughed a wooden laugh That I could fear -- I could fear That I could fear a door, Who danger and the dead had faced, But never quaked -- never quaked But never quaked before. I fitted to the latch My hand, with trembling -- with trembling My hand, with trembling care, Lest back the awful door should spring, And leave me standing -- leave me standing And leave me standing there. I moved my fingers off As cautiously -- as cautiously As cautiously as glass, And held my ears, and like a thief Fled gasping from my home I never saw before. Based on "Returning" by Emily Dickinson

I am lost - I am lost in a forest Who knows - who knows the way out? Who? I am lost - I am lost in the ocean Who knows - who knows the way home? Who? Don't be afraid of the wolf at your doorway You'll find your way before night takes you back home I am lost - I am lost in the tundra Who knows - who knows the way out? Who? I am lost - I am lost in the sky Who knows - who knows the way home? Don't be afraid of the wolf at your doorway You'll find your way before night takes you back home

Look in the sky, what can I see? Infinity looking right through me Feet in the sand, what can I feel? A childless mother spinning this wheel Spin, spin, spin, spin... Swim in the ocean; what do you find? The tears of mother for the death of our kind Look to the future; what do you see? A paradise, without you or me Spin, spin, spin, spin...

I got my little junkyard My own little slice My treasure trove of goodies God damn, it looks nice I got sofas, and chairs Enough to sit for the rest of my days Wall to wall furniture Plenty to spare to make my own maze I've left my carbon footprint At least once or twice I love all my bullshit So what if it's right? A flat screen on all the walls DVDs, stack 'em tall; electronics for days Appliances, Toaster oven, stove, and the best microwave I love my little junkyard This shit's the fucking best I love this little junkyard This shit's the fucking best

If I could time travel I'd come and visit you To do the same old shit We used to do But, if I could time travel I would care more And listen more To what you say If I could time travel I would forget it all The bad things That you do If I could time travel I would come say "goodbye Forgive me I forgive you" - In memory of Dad

I keep wondering what's left for me Nothing else to do that I can see If time is money, I'm a millionaire Gawd. I'm bored.

lyrics
buy track
Looking down on you Little bird trying to fly Wanting to help you But I have to let you die It's sad I know, but it's the way Forgive me, oh please, you have to see It's not me, it's you who has to save The weak things in life that cannot be A scapegoat for all you selfish fools Blaming your maker for your own mess Pointing your fingers and making rules Why you do not have to admit or confess You are the problem and I am ashamed Don't call me your mother Oceans full of tears Hopeful clouds - what might have been Sand once brimming with warmth Now frozen cold You had your fun; your playing war Squandered the gifts I left you all You killed each other and even more Destroyed your home; still standing tall Oh, please stop your onslaught on what remains Your siblings are helpless, have a heart Just look around you it is insane She's broken and bruised and falling apart You killed your maker, her children too Don't call her your mother

lyrics
buy track
The year has been a tedious one-- A round of toil and sorrow, And, since it now at last is gone, Say farewell and hail the morrow. Yet o'er the wreck which time has wrought A sweet, consoling ray is shimmered-- The one but compensating thought That life has glimmered. Struggling with hunger and cold With bitter contempt we beheld 'er; The little thing was one year old-- But no one cared had she been elder? - Based on "The Dying Year" by Eugene Field
