Mirrors

I know that look on your face
what it does and doesn't say.
What you see in me,
is what i will become.
Always on the run
in this race that can't be won.
What's that hide and seek?
The more i look, the less i see.
Mirror, mirror
i see through you.
You use my eyes
to show me your truth.
It's not directed at me.
I shouldn't take it personally.
What you see in me
i can't see in myself.
You showed me through that door
sides of me i didn't know.
And i would have wanted to
get to know them like you do.
Mirror, mirror
i see through you.
You use my eyes
to show me your truth.
What do you want?
What are you looking at me for?
Don't you know it anymore?
If you're looking for help,
you got to look past yourself.

Take the wheel
04:04
|

Places
i cannot reach
until i let go
and you take the wheel.
Patiently
steering down that stream.
Spaces
tend to open up
when i let
my thoughts pass until they stop.
And the moment here and now
is more than enough.
The lion keeps chasing
but these stripes are amazing.
One gets lost among the crowd.
Hey you, get off of my cloud!
Traces
lead away from what i know.
I distrust my will
when it has one of its own.
Cautiously
exploring how that feels.
The lion keeps chasing
but these stripes are amazing.
One gets lost among the crowd.
Hey you, get off of my cloud!
Places i cannot reach
until you take the wheel.
And i won't trust my will alone
as it has one of its own.
The lion keeps chasing
but these stripes are amazing.
One gets lost among the crowd.
Hey you, get off of my cloud!

The Forest
04:28

We are a forest
and each one of us a tree.
Don't feel disappointed
if only you feel like a leaf.
When we see a branch
we know it belongs to a tree.
The vastness of the world is not measured
by how far we can see.
We all hope to be spared
and that the misery, the misery will pass us by.
And if it's only far enough away, away,
we pity, we pity
without to change our ways.
We are an ocean
upheaving without rest
with depths we cannot fathom
until we put them to the test.
We all hope to be spared
and that the misery, the misery will pass us by.
And if it's only far enough away, away,
we pity, we pity
without to change our ways.

Resistance
03:23

Hold it unter water
until it starts breathing.
Strangle it
until it starts to move.
Hit it in its face
until it starts screaming.
Bury it and it will
rise from the dead.
Waking up slowly
it's outrageous
but now it's done.
Once come to
it's contageous,
not to be outrun.
The harder you push it,
the harder it will push back.
Resistance.
Force it into the darkest corners.
Harness its light and claim it as your own.
Call it a danger to the people
call it a liar and the devil in desguise.
Waking up slowly
it's outrageous
but now it's done.
Once come to
it's contageous,
not to be outrun.
The harder you push it,
the harder it will push back.
Resistance.

Am I rude
04:20

Could you be a little
more specific when you ask?
Or is it all the same to you
and you don't give a fuck?
Maintaining the narrative
is all you understand,
so don't you dare to tell me
this is how we run the world.
I'm past mere contemplating
and i'm past to pay the bill
for your rapacious fantasy,
that we are here to kill
Am i rude,
too rude to you?
Am i rude,
too rude to you?
We spread the news like you do too,
as ambassador of make believe.
You did not you see it coming.
Do you really think that's true?
Or is it just another way
to take me for a fool?
You first think of the profit
before you comtemplate,
the human resources,
that you're about to waste.
Don't tell me that it's legal,
because that's really not the point.
In the end people are dying
just so that some of us get spoiled.
Am i rude,
too rude to you?
Am i rude,
too rude to you?
We spread the news like you do too
as ambassador of make believe
Am i rude,
too rude to you?
Am i rude,
too rude to you?
