The End

We were meant for today,
maybe for tonight,
tomorrow will come,
if tomorrow feels right
They say
„It’s just a short fling,
and no happy end,
just a quick fix
not a life well spent.“
Even if your next fad is the greatest thing on earth,
Why would you think this is something you deserve?
Can't we all just have fun or do we have to please
every single one of your conceptual ideas?
So why don't you stay another night?
Neither feels wrong, nor does it feel right.
And after that we can call it a night, (stay another night)
tomorrow we will see it in another light.
Even though we both know this could be the end,
we can always pretend (we can always pretend).
So why don't you stay another night?
Doesn‘t feel right, or does it-
This is it for now
There might be nowhere to go
One in a million
Or a one time show
They say
„Just a heart to be broken,
but never a home
just a quick intermission
and then you‘re all alone.„
So why don't you stay another night?
Neither feels wrong, nor does it feel right.
And after that we can call it a night, (stay another night)
tomorrow we will see it in another light.
Even though we both know this could be the end,
we can always pretend (we can always pretend).
So why don't you stay another night?
Doesn‘t feel right, or does it-

Happy Times

every time i'm feeling bad
i'll take something
to get it out of my head
I don’t care for my little tricks
as long as I got my fix
It’s raining down here in rock bottom
and I’m waiting to drown
you know what you did, what’ll help me through it
what will keep me from going down
are you
feeling happy now
feeling happy now
feeling happy now
you took my power
so don’t you be surprised
about the only way
I’m not losing it
yeah
i'm feeling happy now
feeling happy now
feeling happy now
happiness in life
chemicals for my mind
a thin line
between fall and rise
this is no prescription
It’s only reason that i'm still alive
This is no addiction
this is an identity
i won’t let this go
this defining part of me
but go ahead and try
and watch me break down
Addiction is dangerous. If you find yourself giving in to addictive behavior, consider seeking help. Addiction is dangerous. If you notice a loved one giving in to addictive behavior, consider intervention. Addiction is not a joke.
If you find yourself listening to a band that trivializes addiction in order to sell their music, consider buying each and everyone of their albums, as to limit their ability to influence innocent people. Addiction to buying records is a necessary risk. Stay safe.

Birthright

It's our birthright
keep that in mind
they'll steal our future
but they'll never steal our spite
There's no fun in fixing
if the problems rhyme
There's no point in looking
past our time
Whether you're cause or effect
doesn't sober me up at all
it's been a pleasant attempt at community
but I think I'm gonna go throw up in the hall
And people too poor to eat
serve people too depressed to work
and the ones that are somehow sane
fuck the ones that dream they weren't
outwitted, outrun
and very fine with that
Outsmarted, outdone
and not even mad
outwitted, outrun,
but free at last
no need to fight
no need to rest
Any damn hour in a room with you
better pays well
at what point did a pointless struggle
become a kindergarten show and tell
you seem to think that since you're alright
this world kind of is as well
I swear, your bright red flag
is slowly becoming pastel
people too sober to cope
clean up people too drugged to talk
and the ones that are somehow sane
fuck the ones that dream they weren't
I find it increasingly hard
to walk the thin line
between relatable
and edgy
and maybe it just is
maybe it just is sort of hard
none of this is really fair
and it has been like this from the start
but also it wasn't rigged
and I guess that's probably why
I shouldn't blame any of you
for idly standing by
but also, fuck that
and go fuck yourself at your leisure
if I can't feel happy
I won't feel self-aware either
go ahead, go ahead
name your daughter Africa
so when she gets
raped by white guys in school,
at least she's in character

Optional
Say can't you see
the mess that we are in
I'll act like this is water
and I couldn't swim
I never wanna get there
I do not want to try
I just want demand
for my supply
Darling, here's the deal
You don't know me and I don't know you
But that one cashier at Wendys said I look handsome
and I know my grandma thinks so too
And sure, you might not have anything to gain from this,
and the things you'd lose you'd never get back
But whatever happened to romanticizing an impulse
and a good old night without self-respect?
I'm glad the store next door
has your yogurt and that it's cheap
10 more years of therapy
it could be the highlight of my week
Don't think that I don't get it
set for life at twenty-six
I'm an (jealous) elitist pig
looking for a fix
A head full of ideas
and none of them feels right
I don't want to be with you
but I'd like it if you tried
it's not that problematic
it's delusional
feeling like an option
feels no longer optional
every smile
blown out of proportion
my god complex and I
demand to be an option
I wanna be
I wanna be
I wanna be
I wanna be an option
It's not that healthy
and I wonder, will it ever be?
hate, love and boredom
the trinity of you and me
