Bank of worries and fears, wish there was some magic in this world
I would pay so much to change this in a second, mumbling two words and tapping his fingers
I would pay to see how everything goes easy, maybe I’m lazy, or just live in fear
Maybe I’m the pigeon who lives on the hat, waiting for that long fly
Gotta read the words out louder, the truth left standing in the corner
Watching the lies take the rest of us
Taking position for the war against ourselves, leading the way to self ignorance
Maybe I’m the pigeon who lives in the hat

All This Time
01:33
|
|||
|
So scared to lose everything before the icicles start to melt
Before the bones become heavier
One second before is all we got
In one breath everything stars to dissolve
All this time, I realize, I’ve been wrong
Looking for answers where there’s no where to go
One second before
Why didn’t you warn me yesterday when I was not making any sense
So many ideas, now not one left
The pills you take I hate, they make you sick
They make me sick as well, I know
This morning hope will fade as you go
All this time....
As we sacrifice, we burn
Takes us one second to melt down to the floor
All this time....

Stay Home
01:30
|
|||
|
If you let your face show on the screen - you really let it go
If you let your mind just fall asleep - you fail again to moments of despair,
To feelings you cannot bear
And I wish I’ll find a way to solve this emptiness I feel coming over
Tell me why you’re running like always
Never stay home, you never stay home for a change
If you let your face show on the screen, you really let it go this time
Gotta face you are running like a bullet, a train
And you never seem to let it go anyway
You are stuck in your bedroom all alone, ‘til you wonder why
Gotta face your face

That's Why
01:14
|
|||
|
They say its gonna rain but I never watch the news
We plan our future so that we can say goodbye
All the seconds we spend feeling alive, the moments we spend watching the waste of our lives
Five more minutes ‘til we break, cup of coffee and a new pack of cigarettes
I go to the river, but I never get in the water ‘cause its cold
And you keep yelling how would you feel
How would you feel if you look back and you knew that you held it all inside
And how do you feel when you shut your mouth while you wanna say a word
Oh you'd write a book if you could
It’s the fear, its the rage and the confusion outside
Being alone where you don’t have to hide

I love you even when you’re mad, Oded
Won’t you go out with me?
I wanna tell you how bad I want
To take you out with me - Go!
I know you’re sleeping on your head - Oded
Won’t you go out with me?
I wanna tell you how bad I want
To take you out with me
Oh baby, no longer you’ll be sad - Oded
Won’t you go out with me?
Don’t give up, Oded!

Over Night
01:28
|

|
I’m committed and I care, I’m obsessive and I can’t stay apathetic
I can see this place is going to become
A place like all the others
Just faces attached to empty bodies, empty minds
Empty bodies, empty minds
So put your mask on its a beautiful ride
You can touch everything, the only after-effect: you’ll be hollow inside
Nothing but a flash of the camera on your good side
So go ahead, take my place. I’m not getting in anyway
I’m committed and I care, I’m obsessive and i cant stay apathetic
I can see this place is going to become
A place like all the others
Just faces attached to empty bodies, empty minds
You can touch everything, the only after-effect: you’ll be hollow inside
Nothing but a flash of the camera on your good side
So go ahead, take my place

True Illness
01:29
|
|||
|
I’m here again, the dream of the old lady and the guy from work
Average food and recycled thoughts, my head laying on the table
I can hear him coming over when he opens the door
Nothing new, average job and a monthly bus ticket
Wait for the time to come average goals and a pitiful mind
I can see where this is going - way over our heads
Stand in line and watch your mouth
And tell your mother that you love her, cover your ears and stick to the plan
Cover your ears with Glue and stick to the plan
(you know it by heart)

Someone broke into my car today they threw a brick at the window
It turns out I’m working all fucking day, it’s okay, I’m not freaking out, its cool, just breathe
He says: don’t you worry, this shit makes you strong. Get back in the line and march along ‘cause that’s where you belong
You say I don’t fit in, you say I cant wake up
Someone broke into my car today they threw a brick at the window
I’m working and sweating all fucking day, it’s okay, I’m not freaking out, its cool, just breathe...
You say I don’t fit in, you say I cant wake up
You say I dont want anything to do with this

Box
01:29
|
|||
|
I used to have a box with everything in it
It broke - it was a phase I had to go through
To get rid of the package, break this wall I used to lean on
Just a straight and honest answer (we never really asked for more)
Regenerate from this point on
It’s live interaction
I’m walking in your streets, keep blabbering about
how you will change the unidentified future
I realize i had just enough of this
Un-inspirational life
I want it back
Want my life back, you see I’m stuck in this world
And we’re asking for help, but you’re never coming back for us

Modern Slavery
00:43
|
|||
|
Wish I didn’t have to work, wish I didn’t have to drag myself to work everyday
Finally I found a job, pays a little bit more, what can I say - this is modern slavery
This is modern slavery
Never was my fantasy
Please, are you done, sir? can I clean your table sir? This is great, I love this job
The minute I get out of here I’ll burn this place and disappear
I swear that this is modern slavery
This is modern slavery
Never was my fantasy

Operation Running
01:23
|

|
You’ve got an operation running
You send your man to the field
And then he comes back with the news -
"master, i thoroughly checked: They're on the move"
Now you’re going down, you’re going down again
You cover all the basics as you’re burning bridges along the way
You go back to the base, think it over? think it twice
You fucked up again
Knee deep in shit I think you covered it all the way talking like a lawyer
Running away as you’re cutting corners
It’s an operation

This is Revealing
01:10
|
|||
|
i’m chocking on the inside
You build me up just to use me as a servant on your side
I’m already gone, got a ticket - I’m going away
And your attachment to my pain is such a big mistake
Choose to live inside your anger its your choice and not mine
I know your fear of change has taken over you
You will appreciate it if everything would have stayed just like you knew
I’m already gone, got a ticket - I’m going away
You cannot stop me now, I’m sorry, I just cannot stay
My thoughts have ruined me and your face looks cynical
you cannot trust me
I know what you’re doing
You try to make me stay the same
But I cannot stay here

(poisoned water) Bunnies
01:41
|
|||
|
Spending your time and money all on this
This is not a business
Poisoned water!
Take you kids away, its the wrong place
We know that, though we choose to stay
Variety of chemicals, this city's going down
No telephones, no pins on my wall
Taking notes for tomorrow's schedule
Time so fragile, like thin ice under strong burning sun
Two hunters stay somewhere so far away
“They’re waiting for us” says one of them and they start to run
Im sorry,this life is not for us
Poisoned water! take your kids away, its the wrong place
Can’t we all just be satisfied?
Can’t we all just stay consistent to what we know?
It’s all inside, but its hard to show it all
So we run into the woods
They’re waiting for us
“I’m sorry this life is hard for us”
It’s not for us

Darling
01:06
|

|
At this moment I’ll build me a rocket that will take me far
far as i wanted
down the drain my theory goes, letting you go will make me happy
but it broke my wind
you should have seen the fall right in front of your eyes
darling - you should have seen it coming
I know I've been heavy on you, I’m going through a rough day
I’m looking for a smile, put me back on my feet - from here I can't see well
Everyone's disappearing including you
I Should write it down in words for you
Blank sheets of paper

The Question Came Up
00:58
|
|||
|
Everything we bragged about
All those days I felt its my fault, I wasn't up - I wasn’t up to date
Or wasn’t good enough to stand behind my actions, always with a question mark
Always unsure - maybe it’s just not me?
Maybe I’m right this time, people are what they are
Obsessive or stupid or smart or just maybe it’s just me this time
I’m sick of maybes, sick of asking why
Why is it not working?
How the hell can we be bored?
How the hell is life so short?
How the hell do we move on?
That’s too much to think about

A folk punk classic, and a great example of how flexible the genre is: from the beautiful and heartbreaking "Blue Jays", to the poppy fun of "Day Gaunts", to the poignat honesty of "Misanthropic Drunken Loner", to the satisfying dissonace of the instruments vocals and lyrics on "Perfuctly Disfunctional". One of my Favorite albums that shines light into an underappreciated Genre
