1. Smack the Sun
You are so worn out you just feel
No, no you’ll never be free from this spell
Seeing yourself so disgusted
And falling deep in despair
Said you can’t see the light
With face to the ground
Just kept on fooling yourself
All your life
So now you’re caught in the headlights
They’re burning like eyes in the cold
But the shade of your hard times
Is cast on all you behold
Cos that is the way
You used to get things done
In the shade of the moon noone
Can see you smack the sun
Is there something you’re hiding?
It ain’t gonna right all your wrongs
Or just the beauty inside this
Pose incites you the most
2. Holosonic
Envisioned myself this way
A face into the light
My deserted eyes seem so deranged
Empty blue as the sky
Here I am a loaded gun
Can’t seem to take no aim
Throwing all my empty shells away
Angst-ridden and weak within
And cold shivers down my spine
Swallowed my pills to tune me into a loose Frontin ride
White noise is all I hear
Floating around all
Over the air I breathe
Almost made me drown
The images I can’t see
Are a gallery that won’t
Ever be the same
As it used to live inside
Envisioned myself this way
A face burnt by the sun
My weary eyes would tell you tales
Of never healing scars
3. Mind Ammo
Don’t need to speak up to make myself clear
Don’t wear a face of some phony looking real
I’ve got commitment no loose cash won’t buy
All of my actions are here to testify
Fuel now the engines and see
The embers glowing inside
I’d burn up myself just to be
Rust on the chrome surfaced lie
Your confidence is erected like walls
Of concrete selfishness as a momentary pose
Peel off the skin and it’s easy to see
Who’s in command of this weird machinery
Live ammunition is piled up inside
My mind is loaded with reasons locked in ice
Can’t find a way just to crack it in two
This tainted globe I inherited from you
4. Hologram Man
Born and raised in velvet years under a shiny glass sky
Blessed for all the times to be kept in safe delight
And the sun always rose for tomorrow
Saving your dull days from dying down
It’s a hell of a life to live
Blurry visions ruin the eye
In this hologram all I see
Is fading now
Void is filling up your days still you believe it’s all right
Satisfied in your castrated way and never a moment of doubt
It’s a hell of a life to live
Blurry visions ruin the eye
In this hologram all I see is fading now
Trapped in this pixel cage
Balanced and safe from harm
Getting high on this your sweet soma to keep you numb
5. Christ Was an Angry Man
Christ he ain’t the weak hippie freak you’re told about
He ain’t no smoking weed I said he ain’t no meek and mild
These nails not holding him so you’d better just stay behind
These flashy eyes you see just appear from a new facade
Hail the man who cleans this old manure
You know it seems like noone else but he only has the cure
It’s time I told you now our religion is nothing more
Than the true fossil of an age when impatience was born and raised
6. Doomed
Frail images of my dissolving life
Seem to finally fit now into a great new disguise
How many days to pass me by
To find my way and come around
To let it out to let it out
And have it all outside
Lord send me relief
These feet just wanna rest now
To gather a little faith
You gotta find some peace of mind
Don’t wanna end up crying like fools
If you can’t open it up you’re doomed
All alone is the self behind the mask that it wears
You gotta feed him with the seeds of pride he wouldn’t eat so polite
7. Supersorrow
Several hours that I’ve been awake no sleep
Lying naked in cold sweat
All watered ‘round my sheet
It’s been a dozen times
Nothing left to say
Unspoken words inside me
Have all become my prayer
Several years that I’ve been lost inside so dazed
Stumbling through the hallways
Of this unfamiliar place
Been too much engaged
With dreaming a better day
Safe from all things hurting
And whatever comes my way
Bet I know I ain’t the man I seem to be
I’ve always been keen on playing the fool you made of me
Yet I won’t give in even if God told me so
Cos what I really know is that we all have our ways to go
Several lives that I have wasted on the way
To overwhelming sorrow
That paralyze my brain
Eons passing by
Can’t seem to feel the weight
Lying awake in cold sweat
Now it’s all too late
8. All Along the River
Railroad through my head
Trains a roll just passing by
And time to time they just let the steam out
So the brain never comes around
This feeling’s old
Like a pile of stone
These wounds I hide so deep inside
Yeah I got a 4-track mind
Trains of thoughts just come and go
And time to time they just get me thinking
Why do I feel so alone
All along the river flowing dead
Shepherding my ghost into this illusion I am trapped in
And you don’t know just what it feels to live like that
Befriended by the sour inhibitions
And even more depressed
Waves roll down this world
We’re just wreckage left behind
Surviving like those paper boats on
This water raging wild
9. Way Back Home
On my way down ain’t noone there to share my pain
Am I falling into the same ole trap again
Always obeyed to the very call that incites my soul
So I must follow another path to lead me right back home
I’m on my way back home
Swimming right back through the haze
I’m on my way back ooh
You’ll never know how it feels
A million times now I’ve seen the devil inside me so clear
Yet I can’t kill it only send it to a hollow sleep
It’s the way back home
That I tripped so many times
„And I’ve been carrying my load
Down the long winding road”
10. One Eyed Soul
