Dive in Supernova

I don't know where we went last night,

Swimming through this parallel universe, a scenic sea full of colours and light

 I don't know where I woke up today,

In the middle of this swanlake, with a diving-bell in my hand, dipping in a butterfly bouquet

I do know somewhere over the rainbow there is a land,

and it's fucking AMAZING! So I'd say let's expand.

Gunpower

On top of this crazy world the heartless rule
They keep all the good ones for fool
Their power doesn't come from the soul
Even freedom is something they want to control
They shout down and couldn't care less
While all the wholehearted have to clean up their mess
They embrace three words: power, cash, fame
And when things go wrong the innocents get the blame
Their wold turns on oil, guns and money
Death and destruction are making it less and less sunny
I don't know what they feel
But I know our ground is more fortunate, loving and real

Florescence

Sad little lonely girl, step out of that heavy suit
In this springtime no more reason for a black mood
Put on a sundress, it’s time to play
Colours, relief, chilly memories fade away

Open the curtains, you will get wise
Clear light is brightening the grey skies
No more nightmares accompanied by dreams
Run through the last rain to catch the first sun beams

What a jest

Shit on the porch
Pulp under the old oak
What a mess
Quit the joke

Piss on the flag
Dolls without head
Glass in my bag
This is bad
