The acne star formations on our foreheads
shine like pearls around our necks
we are trees and waves and oceans
we are princesses in the night and we will one day die
we have a longing for short skirts
we just want warm hands on our backs
we cry on the bus home always
but if you touch us we will attack
we procrastinate in desperation
and sometimes we don't bother
we are fire and thunder and colours
we have a lipstick in one sleeve and a knife in the other
we will love ourselves
no matter what they think of us
you don't like our bodies - you've got no taste
you don't like our values - educate yourself
you don't like our attitude - we dislike yours too
you bash on our friends - we'll bash on you
you tell us to smile - we'll make you cry
you tell us to stop - wouldn't think so
you tell us to conform - no way ever
you tell us to leave - it's your turn to go
long nail claws strong enough to cut
short nail clouds soft enough to cum
glittering eyeshadow, glittering teeth
we take care of ourselves where our thorned thighs meet
you've fucked up this planet big time
it’s time for the femme fatales to shine
we don't wanna help the bourgeoisie no more
we are not the people this world was created for
we are babes and queens and warriors
we are siblings and lovers and sorcerers
we are babes and queens and warriors
we are siblings and lovers and sorcerers
we need to stick together, to organize, to be there for each other forever

I am an alien inside a human body
growing and prospering
further and bigger inside a foreign body
I am an alien with someone else's shadow
somehow still living
I'm falling out of my face
into the space in between
what is now and what was before
I'm falling outside again
I only wish for a sense of belonging
I'm falling out of my face
trying to save it by painting on it
smitting my lips with dirt
eyeliner and contours
on what's not my skin anymore
liver and brain, intestines and heart
blood and bones and throat and spine
its not mine, its not mine, it is not mine
I'm an alien, its not mine
I'm falling out of my face
it just happened one day
now I'm here instead
no one realizes that what was here before
is dead
I am an alien inside a human body
growing and prospering
further and bigger inside a foreign body
I am an alien with someone else's shadow
somehow still living

I lie here in my bed
I like you was all that you said
sometimes I wish that you would like me more
moments pass and go by
don't you ever wonder why
I always say how wonderful you are
in my dreams I can hear you
I wonder if you can hear me
in my head I can see you
why can't you see me?
sometimes you'll have to choose
to be straight forward so you don't lose
yourself in things that you don't want
if you're honest then I won't care
but to lie about feelings
don't you dare
say it fast
I want to hear the truth
B R A I N S
my skin tries to fuse with yours tonight
but my cells despise each other's sight
cut off my head sew it back once more
can you really fit another person in your core
I wanna bite the skin on the top your arm as hard as I can
I wanna kiss your softness away
I wanna lick your nails with my dry tongue while wispering through your pores
I wanna be a better person someday
I am getting burned out
depending on your texts
the phone-vibrating affection
please don't hold me while I still can't do it by myself
get rid of my addiction
sobbing in my ear in the middle of the night
what does it mean to give someone space
I know you have answered me a thousand times
but my brain needs to hear it again to be safe
I know you have answered me a thousand times
but my brain needs to hear it again
words are trapped beneath my tongue
these sheets are witnesses of 3 AM destruction
I can't talk now, my mouth is a maze
love is a social construction
I don't believe in lies of monogamy
people can impossibly be meant to be
I don't believe in lies of monogamy
people can impossibly be meant to be
B U R N I N G R A I N D R O P S
It's burning in my heart
without you
I can hear every raindrop in the world
it's my tears that's falling
when I'm crying over you
burning
I know I can do this
but not without you
I have lost so many things
but you are the biggest loss of them all
I know I can stop this water
I know I can stop this stream
but you isn't here to stop it
then to stop it is just a dream
it's burning in my heart
without you
I'm seeing everything in pretty metaphors
when I'm crying over you
burning

come here
come around
Mary goes round and round
rollercoaster goes up and down

don't throw pies at my face
you know I don't like it
I'm lonely here
I freeze so much
all I need is a hug

there is one step from death

are you the only one in this world?
no
are you the only one to care?
are you the only one to feel?
no
your shoulders are not the only bare
hard world
harsh words
you're not the only one to blame
staring
glaring
rise your eyes and feel no shame
change

what are you thinking of?
pressure
oppression
aggression doesn't feed the soft
change
waiting
to change things
we are fading away from cravings
made in this world to stay and stride for
change

Deep down here I can see everything from a different point of view
I feel like a mermaid but a killer whale too
It is like flying, but in fact I am swimming
I am diving
I am drowning
in the eyes that is everything I call you
deep down in the ocean everything is a big brilliant show
beneath the air and the real life I just can't feel low
with my dear beloved beside me I don't really want to go
let me stay here always
let me be here with you
without all this comfortable gravitation
I don't know what to do
you are totally surrounding me
and every move is in slow motion
I can hear your voice just like a small whisper
but I don't care
I am deep down in the ocean
F A I R Y T A L E C H I L D R E N
the history and the legends are tracking you down
it makes you want to put your grades so much higher
it makes you want to be better
even though you're already the best
you have put it down
carried it around and let it rule you
but not this time
now you got to go
lose your pressure
let it go
Fairytale Sister
take the show
now I am going to force you to lose some control
face it down to the level on your own
make it special and turn it unique
Fairytale Brother
find what you seek
you have put it down
carried it around and let it rule you
but not this time
now you got to go
lose your pressure
let it go
Fairytale Brother
take the show
no pressure
no pressure left
we are never going to let it slip through our hands again
because this is our show
you have put it down
carried it around and let it rule you
but not this time
now you got to go
lose your pressure
let it go

the night is falling
the twilight is here
the darkness is coming
there is shadow everywhere
each star is shining
my friend
hold my hand
your skin is warm
(your skin is so warm and I want to touch it, it's so warm, warm enough)
I feel your breath
(I hear everything I want you to say, with your sweet breath)
a clock is ticking
(our time is running out, so think fast, and please come near me now)
I turn my head to the left
(I move so I can see you, and I see you lying there)
I see you
you are sleeping
my friend
don't be afraid.
I love you
I love you
I do
I do love you
please hold my hand
the night is falling
(the night is soon coming here, falling down, down, down)
the twilight is here
(the twilight is making fog everywhere, here for me)
the darkness is coming
(you are my light, so please come near me now, please come near me now)
there is shadow everywhere
(I'm not afraid of anything, because you are here with me)
each star is shining
my friend
hold my hand

I don't want to be a part of this game
the game in which not everyone is invited
I don't want to stand the ugly shame
when someone else wins today's competition and gets excited
I don't want to be a part of this game
where just the pretty ones get chosen
I want everyone to feel that they are worth just the same
and that they not just because of their looks can't come closer
do you want to be a part of this game
do you want to be a part of this group
If you don't have a clue just say
no thank you
I don't want to be a part of this game
not this strange social thing
that you need to look good and be pretty to win the fame
and therefore I now want to sing:
be who you are
be yourself, don't fake it.
I know it's hard
but I also know you'll make it
I don't want to be a part of this game
I don't want to be a part of this group
I don't want to be apart

I'm tired of time, of waiting
it takes too long to forget texts and fights
and touches and smells
when will I ever stop look for her
why is she always, always at every street corner
at every turned head in this city
she's everywhere we've ever been
I'm tired of time, of waiting
of images that doesn't correspond
of not daring to meet my own eyes
the pores in my face just swallows me whole
the boys at my job still watches me at home
and the error continues to remain
you know, the kind that can't be solved
don't wanna get up but my nympha's too cold
eat, sleep, eat, sleep, its all I do
don’t wanna say no but today I just can't
eat, sleep, eat, sleep, that's what I want
my head is another place today
drifting far away
I know its not good
we were not good
she's still in summer and in twin peaks and in noodles and peas
and my short nails and the scar on my knee
in saliva, the hot pink emoji flower
and in everyone with the hairstyle of her new lover
she's in low socks and the train station and trucker caps
in alcohol, sobriety and the welfare gap
she's in pimples and hair bleach and crisps and buses and maxi pads
she's in kid's shows from the 70's and shampoo-baths
she's in closeness and angriness and jealousy and happiness
my flesh and skin is still not free
she's everywhere we've ever been
as soon as I put down the phone
on my lip a cold sore grew
I'm a blister on top of an abyss
forever stuck with our last kiss
what I wanted was to be cured
what she wanted was to be cured
what I wanted was to be cured
what she wanted was to be cured

would you care if I whisper in your ear about your secret
I need to tell someone
to not break my promise I'm now telling you who already know and can hear
why do people see when I keep something from them and why do they ask
my trick is to take a tune and then let them hear my voice instead and I say:
with secrets come obligations
you need to learn how to keep one too
some people should not be trusted with a secret
it’s sad but so true
now they look at us in a strange way again
they talk about our secret though it is only you and me who know about it
it must be hard to talk about something you don’t even know nothing about
with love we say secrets to each other and in trust we keep them
if you tell, you have deceived and turned down a promise and a friend

spiders crawling
larvae clustering
beneath your shiny feet
they are our friends
because we will also bury ourselves someday
little seeds
little seeds weep
while you dry your tears with morning dew
you threw away
the stone in our collective chest
because such are angels
you are a star
you're always a star
you shiny diamond gem
you are a star
you're always a star
you golden flower stem
you do good
you will always do good
and even if you mess up
you will be understood
L E T I T O U T
say as it is
let it out
straight to my face
scream and shout
footsteps in the night and your hand in mine
with you walking beside me I felt more than fine
time goes not by slowly
how it was is not how it is
you could have told it earlier
I just want to tell you this:
say as it is
let it out
straight to my face
scream and shout
I'm not so sad it's over
I'm sad that you don't do what you must
can't you see that this is a question about trust
because when you don't tell me
how you really feel
it doesn't look like our just newborn friendship is for real
it is over.
say as it is
let it out
straight to my face
scream and shout
MY F I R S T S O N G
you make me very gay, more than I already am
and I am pretty gay
well its hard not to make a mistake like you do
well its hard not to fake my way through like you do
well its hard not to fade away too like you do
well it's hard for my wishes to come true
without you
I can wait forever, but forever's a long time
we should wait together, to make it worthwhile

the stars they twinkle very bright
it's cold and I am frozen
the moon is shining like a burning globe
the sky is still black as soot
but when we stand here together
you and I
it's warm and shiny
the sky is dark-blue and the night is young
I want this feeling forever
some windows are up lightened
and some others are dark
they shine with an un-neutral light
but when we stand here together
you and I
it's warm and shiny
T H E S I N G I N G B I R D
I think you are a bird
that is flying in the sky
and singing with your sweet voice
so everyone can hear you
they sing along with you
I can't help that I miss you so
I wonder why the birds are flying on the day but not in the night
I wonder why the birds are so different to me
it seems like we never are going to fly like birds
but I'm sure that you fly high up in the sky
and you sing for us
I can't help that I miss you so
I wonder why I can't stop cry

sleeping in the dust beneath my bed
lies the land where no tears 'been shed
so very distant but yet so real
the sharp tense sound of the fortune wheel
once I was down there, I fell by mistake
I landed on pillows and started to shake
I shivered and shut both my mouth and my eyes
in the dust land everyone see who tries
glowing in the dust underneath my bed
lies the land where no tears 'been shed
what is more honest than truth behind teeth
what is more biting than being beneath
fortune wheel
you will always heal
glowing dust
growing up on rust
beneath my bed
the words remain unsaid
sleep so near
velocity is here
growing in the dust beneath my bed
lies the land where no tears 'been shed
I hear noises and voices from the cold grey floor
they linger between what is more than more
yesterday I found out the meaning of life
the floor clapped its hands and hid its knife
today the zealous ocean will be more than a meal
the sharp tense texture of the fortune wheel
fortune wheel
you will always heal
glowing dust
growing up on rust
beneath my bed
the words remain unsaid
sleep so near
velocity is here
W H E N I G O
tell me
tell me that I didn't ruin everything
I hope I didn't affect your life in a bad way
call me if you need to scream at someone
maybe in the middle of the night
because I think I have something to do with all your anger
even if you can't take back what you have done
you can at least try
but when I go, I go, I go very fast
I don't know what a friend I have been
but when I left you I did it for myself
if I leave – well I left, I did, I know
I can't take it all away
for a while I thought I needed you
but now I know
I did it without you.
why didn’t you let me know
you knew it was wrong and you didn't even try to tell me
I can blame it on blindness
but to try to find myself is not a crime
you are strong and I am sick of standing in front of the mirror
trying to see myself
the only thing I could see was your reflection standing in the way of mine
