Just a Jester

I will defy all the laws of the natural world
And I will pay my tribute to this mortal time
Prosperity is not what I seek
And if the outcome of my efforts is to stand the test
Maybe then I can finally rest
For so long I awaited my turn to entertain
I sipped all the poison you offered and spat out oceans of magic
For how long must I endure this humiliation before you spare me your laughter
Let me tickle the beast within you
I want to be the feast it devours
I have learnt that the price of production
Is to be consumed by its outcome
Just like the smoke that seduced the air
Let me seduce your imagination to follow this trail
I am a bag filled with the breaths of those whose voices were a whisper
Let me be the bearer of bad news so that your shoulders can feel lighter
I fall into the darkness only to hear death’s laughter

The Alchemist

I take a sip of magic
I’m wasted
And I reach high in the sky
I grab stars, I taste milk
With my feet firm on the ground
My clothes stained with rubies
Wish you could see these years
Before time makes them disappear
A dream appears again
Through wire and light shines
I hold high this chalice
In my two meter palace
I’ve turned man into beast
I’ve turned a devil into priest
I’ve turned stoned into gears
I’ve turned water into tears
I’m joyful
I’m joyless
I’m hopeful
I’m hopeless
This careless elation
This cycle is endless
I take a sip of magic I’m wasted
And I reach high in the sky
I hold high this chalice
In my two meter palace
I’ve turned man into beast
I’ve turned a devil into priest
I’ve turned stoned into gears
I’ve turned water into tears
I’m joyful
I’m joyless
I’m hopeful
I’m hopeless
This careless elation
This cycle is endless

Upside Down Funnel
03:30

Life is a bunch of experiences
You try to capture in your brain bottle
Bottle’s neck is as tight as a needle’s eye
And time is an upside-down funnel
This airway is tightening
The belt is buckling
The knot’s unwinding
Mind is traveling
I’m off to see if there’s something more
To all this, or if we’re all trapped in this bubble
How deep is this iris? if I dig will I find me in control
Or will I end up seeing double?
The night is brightening
Troubles are softening
The lambs are muzzled
Sill their gaze is puzzled
I have a date with an angel, she told me to meet on the other side of the gutter.
Her hand felt cold on my shoulder, she told me not to worry, we all get buried by the same shovel
The worms are wiggling
the host is laughing
Time is passing
empty bottles jangling
empty bottles jangling
empty bottles jangling

Plastic Stallion

Let me be your plastic stallion
Lead me through all these wars
Place the Valium on my tongue
Turn on the stereo
Show me more
Of this nightmare
Terrify me, you define me
So kiss me goodbye, with each little death
Hang your breath around my neck,
Tie this noose tight set my spirit loose
My spirit is yours to play
Turn me to clay
Rearrange me as I rearrange you

Human Submarine

I couldn’t contain myself
Now I’m inside somebody else
I took a peep out these keyholes
But no keys for these windows
Safe and sound in my human submarine
I dive into these tears, I get to the bottom of these fears
In each drop sparkling nightmares reflect
They taste bitter
Light breaks up into glitter
Together we’ll be nobody, cause nobody’s perfect
This isn’t pain, it’s just the absence of feelings
I got two faces for two different places
A hundred spare in cases,
boxed away for a hundred years to gather dust
You’re ready to be part of a collective
We aren’t very selective
That’s exactly why we are super reflective
You all look a little bit like me
You all look a little bit like me
I couldn’t contain myself
Now I’m inside somebody else

Blind Hermit

I was searching for something
I was searching for something
I guess god's a crooked chemist
We multiply but we are divided
I thought love was binding
I guess god's a crooked chemist
I guess god's a crooked chemist
We multiply but we are divided
I thought love was binding
I guess god's a crooked chemist
I thought love was binding
