i will contemplate your arguments, but what comes next ?
social marginalization for anxiety compensation
one step further, two steps back, a few steps into caginess
the sight not clear - no deliberation, just self-referred, no sense at all
no, no more, no more self reflection, no one tries to act unselfish
the clock stops but time passes by without any shift
you have much more than enough to share
but why should you care? you earned all of your money
fair is what you call the current world situation
the more our knowledge increases, the more our empathy shrinks
the gap is turning bigger and bigger, the chance for socially deprived people sinks
there must be an other way, to change our thoughts, our deeds
it does not have to stay like this
it does not have to stay like this
at the time you have to recognise, that you are at the wrong path
but you will follow blind, don’t ever question what you do
one day it’s not possible to overcome cause the greed will poison everyone
and without knowing what’s the point of it all, you will unalterable fall

decay
03:56
|

|
an accepted functionality, nowadays
but not everyone fits in this decaying system
not everyone fits in the life you want others to live
not everyone is just a jigsaw, that exactly fits
hardly anyone fits in this made up scheme
your system does decay
psycho, psychological
i do, what my logic does
i’m not enchained in the reality, in here and now
but I got captured in my thoughts somehow
i can’t see clear, I can’t stand tall – I am different overall
i can’t think clear, but when I see myself, I can’t believe - this is me
bird’s eye view – huge distance to everyone including me
great efforts on being how society wants me to be

on the run
07:51
|

|
you left behind everything, you lost all of your things
and now you’re dependant on what other people think
you escaped, you ran away, but actually you’d like to stay
you had no choice – it was a preset way
you are insecure, you are different
you look differently insecure, you’re insecurly different
it’s hard without understanding, others don’t show sympathy
you hope for variation, you hope for recovery
i open my eyes, it is cold, it is dark
i don’t have any navigation
we need to be quiet, everything is dumb
yelling is far-out and dead
i’m casting about for familiar faces,
faces show fear and dispair
i’m casting about for familiar faces
panic is written all over their faces
from satisfaction, to hopelessness
from a few approaches, over unavoidable, to pitch and toss
presence or past, victory or loss, dead or alive
everlasting gloom, elucidation, dead or alive
undesired comeback, too little support
plenty of possibilities in theory, no coming forth
needless difficulties, through hate and ignorance
lack of understanding, lack of tolerance
needless difficulties, through false policy
lack of understanding, lack of honesty

i hope you got it wrong and you are claiming yourself
i’m no longer your therapist for your invented, superficial problems
you do not have honest friends, you are standing all alone, by yourself
but you don’t realize and continue until everyone is gone
relationships are just a way to get ahead, for you
you don’t know what it means to be sensitive, thats nothing you can do
you borrow keys for your success but you don’t give them back
so what you actually do is, you steel them their success
a storm sets in
strong company
you fall by the wayside
nobody’s ever looking back
the storm abducts
the shine of it
and what remains
is a kid, who is standing in the rain
you can leave and you will see
what it means to stand unsheltered in the fucking rain
and noone will ever let you in
noone will ever let you in

rejecting
05:53
|
|||
|
you are walking, through the streets
and nobody would see
you are talking, with some strangers
And nobody does notice anything
but when you need, a small accommodation
the people start to look at you so different than before
they are denying, they aggrieve you
just because you are who you are
so many people do not understand
the cannot re-enact, how hard it is, how hard it is for you
or anybody else, with a similar live situation
so they are against humanity - against migration
these are constricted thoughts, that make this world so cruel
feeded from the right-wing-society
but we need recreation, solidarity,
that’s the only way, to handle these big issues
openness, open-minded for changes, for renovation
people on the run should get support of everyone
they did not have any choice
just between dead or alive
openness, open-minded for changes, for renovation
people on the run should get support of everyone
