dogville isn´t just
a strange movie i´m afraid
mein kampf isn´t just a book
all things were not made
where you thought they were made
so do take a closer look
i was set ablaze
by the look of her face
emotional suicide
they made us believe
we were invincible
we were taken for a ride
death can be like
fading to grey in a way
and life could be
just like machines
carnal celebrations
produce decay
while the world is ruled
by beauty queens
mood swings come and go
like the sun in july
it´s a sign of instability
everybody tries
very hard to get high
but they lack the key
that sets them free

going through the motions
is a slow death indeed
some of these emotions
make my lonely heart bleed
all the contradictions
all the stains on my coat
it was my conviction
they would make my boat float
daily desillusion´s
insufficient, i guess
all of it adds up to the
predictable mess
