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

A L L Y O U S A I D

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

Mary goes round and round

all I need is a hug

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

we are fading away from cravings

E V E R Y T H I N G I C A L L Y O U

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

Fairytale Children

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 D O N´T W A N T T O B E A P A R T

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 N A Y E A R O R T W O

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

K E E P A S E C R E T

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

 

L A R V A E

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

N I G H T L I G H T

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

 

V E L O C I T Y

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
