1. Come to rest
Come to rest, my wayward, fleeing heart
This is best, or you’ll be ripped apart
It’s a test we’re never gonna pass
You are not that tough
The absolute pleasure in misery
The offensive smell of my morning suit
Mourning over the truth, the master of the game
Searching for someone to play
You will fuck it up
It’s just a reflection, you’re knowingly the prey
There’s no one else to blame, but in your mind you frame
It like it was a date
The world is so untamed
An ocean of emotion
Will drown me if unfrozen
Constant motion
Ebb and flow
Constellations
Guide me home
Come to rest, my wayward fleeing heart
Back in my chest you have a place to hide
Build a nest way out of people’s sight
You don’t have to fight
2. I can’t be buried
I can’t be buried in that cemetary
Do you wanna know why?
‘Cos I’m not lifeless yet
No I’m very much alive
But some day I will be though
And hearing me say that
Will creep the bejeebs out of my children
And their children if I ever get to meet them
Thought I’d lost my sense of humour
But these jokes, these dumbass jokes
Just keep on coming out
Like verbal, projectile vomit
“Can I get a glass of water”, asked the pony
“I’m a little hoarse you see”
But the floor manager fainted
For he had never in his life heard anyone ask for any beverage
Without saying please
As he fell unconscious to the floor
He knocked down a flower vase, a tiny maze,
A cook who was about to glaze his boss
For not giving him a well deserved kiss
Even though he had a “kiss the cook” -apron on
People are talking, so what?
Take my hand, take your pants off
We’ll give them something to talk about
Let’s you&me ditch this god-forsaken town
3. Karaoke Kid
I’m the karaoke kid and I was about to
but the drunken business men just had to show me how to
crowd a queue
Two hours pass next is Mike
no one comes so I grab the mic
The lyrics were
“This city is so sad
once I’m dead everyone’s just glad
I had a friend but he stole my wife
king alcohol please save my life”
Who likes this crap?
Whining in a gift wrap
the melody was kinda catchy
tender in a way
4. Seasimularo
I swam across the big blue sea
Have to breathe can’t go too deep
The only thing my eyes can see
Is the surface calm and me
Though I can never see it all
Below me there is quite a fall
My friends plant, rock or animal
And all my foes uncountable
It’s a whale the size of a sea
There’s nothing else to feel
Soft sinking skin of his
Tells you how to surrender
It’s a whale the size of a sea
There’s nothing more to feel
Softly takes over me
Like sleep, I’m ready to surrender
In addition there is a space
Deepest depths of dark embrace
I try to swim at my own pace
But the fear makes this a race
I focus on the pretty things
Fish, coral, the little things
Dolphin laughs, the whale sings
But the sea has a lot more offerings
I can search the surface high
Forever down the bottom low
There is always more than I can know
There is always more
5. Ode to Natalie
You are so unbelievable
Astonishing, there are no words
It’s understating to say wonderful
Would you please
Be with me
Marry me
Kiss me, keep me, kill me
She wants you to want her,
She wants you to want her
But she’ll never ever be yours
She’ll never ever be yours
They want you to want her,
They want you to want her
But she’ll never ever be yours
She’ll never ever be mine
Knowing you crushes me
It hurts just to know you exist
There’s nothing to compare you to
You are the reason for the universe
For the stars and the moon and the sun and the earth
Would you be
Inside of me
Be one with me
I don’t think you would ever talk to me
No one should be allowed to touch you
Your presence is overwhelming, it’s pressure
She’ll never truly be mine
6. Aquarium Night
Let me come closer
Aquarium night
Am I ridiculously thinking, acting, feeling?
Three in the morning
Aquarium light
Is it too late for me to say this?
Kinda is
I want to come to you sleep with you tonight
Not giving a shit that you have a wife
Red and blue and all the other colors are in you
Disappointment and love and all the other feelings are in you
The earth and the moon and the rest of the universe is in you
Disappointment and love and all the other feelings are in you
I can only see
Aquarium life
And you’re the only thing on my mind
It’s got to be a sign
World has shrunk into
Aquarium night
I can’t afford to let the stress get to me
I would never let you go without a fight
Don’t care if I don’t or if I do you right
I want to come to you sleep with you tonight
Not giving a shit that you have a wife
7. Yours
There was a crowd
I had a doubt
There’s no way out
It was so loud
I had to shout
Then we made out
Drink your beer do not spill it on me
I have this fear don’t think we will make it
You kissed a girl and I wanted to hit
Her but you said it meant no thing
There was a show
I wanted home
You wouldn’t go
I kicked a car and it started howling
I felt so sick the noise so taunting
Want you to know
That I’m your ho
So don’t let go
Because I am
Yours
I’m yours I’m
Now there’s no doubt
There is a cloud
On getting out
Drinks all around
You start to pout
I’m acting out
Let’s cut the chase I don’t think you want me
I have this fear I’m sure I’ll fuck it
Want you to know
I’m still your ho
So don’t let go
Because I am
Could you please please be mine too
Could you please just say I’m yours
You know that I’ll always follow
You and I will always be
8. Don’t tell me how it is
Listen, don’t tell me how it is
I don’t care, I’m just getting above you
You always gotta get the last word in
You always gotta have your say and run things
I never see you like you used to be
I never get to say how much I miss you
Just keep tuning your piano
Change the strings on your guitar
But pretty soon they’ll be waiting in the parking lot
Though they won’t take me very far
I know, those are all my empty bottles
Your dirty underwear
There’s something you’re not telling me and that’s fine
There’s something I don’t wanna hear
I never see you like you used to be
I never get to say how much I miss you
9. Killer Dolphin
I got scared of my responsibilities
didn’t see that its just empty without
now it feels like the nightmare I once saw
the killer dolphin was offing me with his saw
But now I know your name
You’re nothing now with your fame
I erase your name
You can’t do a thing I’ve called your game
now I know your name
You’re nothing now with your fame
I erase your name
You can’t do a thingyoure so lame
Happy little dolphin
was playing in the sea right in front of me
he greeted me said “hi”
and tickled with his saw such a cute little thing
But he broke my skin and veins
and bones even before I stopped laughing
and then I realized that the dolphin was not nice at all
I woke up early I can’t believe
nothing but torture to think
How close you were killer dolfin
It was not a relief it was you
my eyes wide open I refuse to believe
stuff you did don’t exist
I close my eyes let the water
carry me back to my slumber
Now I see another
but this time I know how to stay away from
all those little assholes
I’d rather keep these new dream bones intact
10. Hello my friend
Hello my friend, the end
Who did you fall in love with?
I would have wanted to know
Hello my friend, the end
One year in jail or a stupid tattoo in your face?
I would have wanted to know
Hello my friend, the end
Did you ever make a song, what was it about?
I would have wanted to know
Hello my friend, the end
What would you do if there was a bear against you?
I would have wanted to know
Hello my friend, the end
Do you have someone there to hold you?
I would have wanted to know
Hello my friend, the end
I would have wanted to know
11. Never get up
I look like a junkie but I’m feeling fine
Can no longer say the name of my home town
Surprised they let me in with these eyes of mine
What if I actually was high?
I look like a nightmare truth be told
If I was a child I think I’d cry
Just relax and let in the cold cold cold
Nothing to do but freeze of fry
Bird of business
Wearing his tie
Didn’t get much sleep and I’m thinking I I I
Will never get up
Never ever get up
12. I’ll be around
I’ll be around
Not honorbound like you are
More familiar but gone, gone
I’ll be around
Switching lanes so smoothly
A hundred miles per hour
My unwritten words
Un-uttered goodbyes
I’ll be around
That awful sound
Much softer than you’d think tho
After all the car weighs a ton, ton
What an awful sound
Immediate vicinity
Hand on your shoulder
My unwritten words
Un-uttered goodbyes
I’ll be around
I like my little limbo
Never hang the wet shirts
My unwritten words
Un-uttered goodbyes
I’ll be around
