Coping Mechanisms
03:14

You see it coming
There’s nothing you can do
But keep on acting out the same old script
Nature culls the masses
Addition by subtraction
No way to hide from your eternal crypt
[Chorus]
My coping mechanisms
They keep me high when I am low
Trade the truth for ignorance
to keep away the emptiness
2022
Eight billion years to go
Until the sun decides to swallow the earth
Run in a circle
Chasing down a purpose
That’s how we reconcile our pointless birth
[Chorus]

What You Deserve
04:13
|
|
||
|
Interpret everything to mean
That you were born to lose
Victim mentality
So when the final score is tallied
don’t you know?
You get what you deserve
Guilt trip all of society
Your plea is well rehearsed
but I’ve got no sympathy
When no one reaches out
to lend a helping hand
You get what you deserve
Wish for enforced equality
Since you don’t measure up
you need a referee
By propping up the weak
you sacrifice the strong
That’s why equality is wrong
When something’s left to be desired
That’s when I feel the most inspired
Take what I want and call my own
I don’t need you
I walk alone
Take my time
Take what’s mine
Take my time
I’m gonna take what’s mine
You never try to help yourself
Depend on everybody else
You never change
You never learn
That’s why you’ll get what you deserve

Suicide in K Minor
04:26
|
|
||
|
I dream of far off lands
that keep my hope alive
Will I arrive before I die?
Looking back
I cannot say I’ve done that much
No one to love
No one to touch
Life has reduced me cut me down
I feel the knife
But death is my weapon against life
All roads have led to this
and now there’s nothing left except
Taking solace in my suicide
No more pain
No more regrets
Put me out of my misery so I can
Just be with my maker forever
No more pain
No more regrets
One bullet away
From meeting my maker forever

Persian Delta Blues
04:03
|
|
||
|
Sitting by the river
Beer in my hand
Waiting till the day I die
It makes me wanna cry
People think I’m crazy cause I talk to myself
That’s cause I’m the only friend
that I can talk to
[Chorus]
Hey baby
I want to kill you tonight
I know you
You want to kill me too
Ever since we fell in love that’s how we do it
When we say “I love you”
Every kiss is a bruise
Singing Persian Delta Blues
Another round of hopelessness
is headed my way
Reminding me of who I am
no matter what I say
Seeds of desperation take root in my soul
Everyone around me pays the price
as my sadness grows
[Chorus]
Bring it on down
Take me back to the delta
Take me back down that road
that never ends

Rock is Dead

Another song on the radio
I wanna like it but I just don’t know
if I can take any more
Is this a practical joke?
She was driving down the highway
as the sky was turning red
She heard a bang! bang! bang!
And here’s exactly what she said
“I wanna travel back in time
to hear the music in my head”
Give me a
Rock is dead!
Rock is dead!
You killed it!
[Chorus]
When I was just a boy
and I was finding my way
There was no one to relate to me
Till I got turned on to rock ’n roll
to release my negativity
There’s only one feeling that I understand
and it’s the only feeling you can’t give
So I sold my soul to rock n’ roll
to fill the hole that you left in me
Guilty of musical hypocrisy
No melody as far as I can see
As best as I can tell
looks like the joke’s on me
It’s been a long hard ride
since rock ’n roll has died
With a bang! bang! bang!
And it cannot be revived
They say that porno pop’s the killer
and that right before she fled she said
Rock is dead!
Rock is dead!
[Chorus]

Destructive thoughts arise
in a world obsessed with lies
But now it’s time to leave those all behind
Cause I’ve finally found a place
to escape and leave no trace
A space where even thoughts leave me alone
[Chorus]
Don’t try to find me here
These stone walls make me disappear
Rid my mind of world affairs
So I can breathe the naked air
Life was my battleground
The war has stopped but then I found
In peace the warlike man attacks himself
Each thought on which I dwell
is another steel bar in my prison cell
I need the pin drop silence of the Hall
[Chorus]
The Regulations of the Auxiliary Cloud Hall
Will light your soul on fire
as you’re staring at the wall
The Regulations of the Auxiliary Cloud Hall
Where emptiness turns into love for all
The Regulations of the Auxiliary Cloud Hall
No attachment to anything at all

Southern Dissonance
04:51
|
|

|
Born a stranger in my own land
My home is foreign to me
Soldiers in gray knocking at my door
Seek quarter in New Orleans
I walk the streets
Everybody stares at me
A contradiction they see
This place I’ve always known
Banished me and now I roam
But I’ve got nowhere to flee
Deep in the south
I was born in the
Confederate States of America
Dissonance spreads
across the southern states
Look to the past for your future
There you’ll find your identity
And when you’ve finally denied it
You’ve killed your worst enemy
Don’t think
Don’t speak
Just look at me like I’m a freak
Too weak to think on your own
Identity denied
Now I’m forced to look inside
To find myself from within
Deep in the south
I was born in the
Confederate States of America

Two Minus One
04:34
|
|
||
|
You gave me life and lost your own
Two minus one
Your broken mind left me behind
Don’t leave me now
The hour came when you were told:
Now you must die
But from your grave your ghost will rise
t(w)o make us three
Death you expect but cannot believe
when it’s your turn to die
Close your eyes
Say goodbye
And disbelief turns into love…for you
One: your ghost
Two: me
Three: your memory
Is living proof that two
really can equal three
There is no way to explain how you became
My lifelong friend till the end
Death will set us free
In life you’d connect what was left of me
to my past and now you’re gone
Close your eyes
Say goodbye
And disbelief turns into love…for you
All in all I can’t believe
All in all I can’t believe
All in all I can’t believe
All in all I won’t believe you’re gone

I put my dreams on hold for you
Just to follow the beaten road
Do exactly as I’m told
A look of fear in your eyes
A human soul in disguise
Your future hidden from view
You can’t see that your…
[Pre-chorus]
Dreams raced by a long time ago
Now it’s too late
You’ll never know
You can’t believe it
You can’t deny it
Words cannot describe it
A feeling of regret eating away at you
With every compromise
A piece of your soul dies
Somebody made your choice
You got nothing cause…
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
Why do you try to feel alive
in an alien way?
Reaching out for words that you can’t say
You thought you could
play the part of a God
Live a life in the stars
And you keep on crawling back for more
