Asylum

I know your righteousness it keeps you up at night
I know your ego's turns
And how it is taking flight
I have been in your room
I have heard your wailing walls
I have seen your comicbooks
And the dropping of your balls
I have left you in that chair to face reality
Because random feelings
Was the thing you got from me
I felt sedated by the nature of your mind
A mole in my rabbit hole
So deaf and daft and blind
So I left your house
I left your room
I left your coffee
And your gloom
I left without a warning sign
I left to make you see the light
With a bedspread over your head
One-man plenum in your ayslum
I have found my way and now I am back here
With my friends
Back in this land of wonders, toy-soldiers and pets
And as I drink my tea
I am writing you this song
I am not mad my friend
It is you who is always wrong
You see the world in clouds
Of black and white and gray
And as you reach out for the stars
They slip away
Like falling sand between your fingers
They drive you mad
I guess you've got a whole asylum
Under your hat
You think you are the one who is lost
You are reaching out through perma frost
By trying hard to get me back
Smiling like the Chesire Cat
Under your hat things seem so mad
A pointless phantom in your asylum

Harpoon

The walrus and the carpenter
Were walking down the beach
Looking hard for oysters
There were no one left to eat
And as the walrus he proclaimed:
The festive days were gone
The poor thing fell dead on the ground
The carpenter raised her gun
You are my loving walrus
And I am your power-tool
And in the end you lost it all
You acted like a fool
The carpenter now rest
In cells of walrus-fur and meat
The vivid motions of her eyes
Tells you that she doesn't sleep
Build a fortress around your soul
Let the oysters take control
Because greediness will get us all in the end
I know I left you bleeding
With a harpoon in your back
I know I left you under ice
Drowning in a sack
I know that I cut off your tusks
And sold them over seas
But I don't feel that guilty
After all the crap you gave to me
The carpenter lost everything
And moved from beach and home
In to her mothers caring nest
Where she could be left alone
She tried hard to move on
But got lost in medication
A Wonderland of madness
A mental menstruation
The walrus catches oysters now
In the shadow of a holy cow
In a beach-house where he waits all day
For her
I know I left you bleeding..

Come on and shake your tail-feathers!
Come on and shake your tail-feathers!
Come on and shake your tail-feathers!
Come on and shake your tail-feathers!
No other chances to shake that thing
So come on honies, let's do the swing!
Come on and break my heart in two's
Come on and break my heart in two's
I'll do so much to be with you
So come and break my heart in two's
A lone soldier crossing seas in June
A predator hunts in packs with you
I'm an endangered weakened bird
I'm an endangered weakened bird
My wings won't lift me
My beak won't hurt
I'm an endangered weakened bird
Fell from the sky
Hit the ground with my neck
Broke my back
'Cause of the dodo-shake
So come and shake you tailfeathers...
Shake it till you break it.

Purr & Pray

Purr and pray
And never try to compromise
Your birth is late
It is what your brainwaves hide inside
That counts today
And nothing else but what you think
About yourself
Remember my friend to take care
And just purr and pray
And never slay
And mind your words
The creatures out to get your tongue
And duck and hush
Remember to sit back and stay calm
And don't give in
Don't let your mind play games on you
Your smile within
Is all you ever have to lose
Just purr and pray...
So be yourself
It is all that really matters
In this world of shells
Your twisted mind will always shatter
When their words
Turn into arrows
And they penetrate your soul
They are crooked crows
Just flying at you
Just purr..
Dinah, Dinah
Little cat
How I wonder where you are at?
Childhood nightmares in the sky
Ravendesks all flying by

Hellfire

Hell fire
Burns in my brain
A cold desire
As my mind slips away
A drowning dormouse
Swims in my tea
A hell fire
Is burning in me
It's my own inferno
In my mortal soul
Hell-spawns
Have taken control
It's my damnation
For you my dear
Abandon all hope
When you enter here
Hell fire
Burn your last remains
As the freighter
Sails my heart away
A lizard with a ladder
Climbs in my tree
A caterpillar
Transforms in front of me
It's my own inferno
In my mortal soul
Hell-spawns
Have taken control
It's my damnation
For you my dear
Abandon all hope
When you enter here

Dark Matter

You talk about a revolution
But you dont participate
You join the dark matter
Of jerks who came too late
You run for cover
When people they run
But you say your place
Is under the sun
You are the dark matter
Eating the universe
You've got a strange idea
A black curse
You don't give a shit
But you have to make a choice
It won't help you to change
The pitch of your voice
You don't give a shit
But shit it shatters
And shit that shatters
Is matter that matters
You are the dark matter..
You talk about changes
But you don't make any
By sitting on your hands
And stay steady
You are the dark matter...
