Knights of Something

1.
Surfer 02:58
Surfer ------ the heart behind the cock the Roman nose the face behind the love we know what we feel it´s an ancient urge the joy inside the girl it´s like we´re exploding the petal is closing the body and the pearl the body and the pearl the surfer´s in the curl the colors in the swirl my voice is on the phone the heart behind the drone the gold is in the blood our head is in the drug I´m a burnout, you´re a rain cloud you´re a rain cloud I´m a burnout, you´re a rain cloud you´re a rain cloud we are self aware and this is our reward I’ve got a flower on my sword it gives my life meaning I´m dreaming of the place beyond the door the place beyond the door the grace behind the form a sigh and then a storm
2.
Thugs 02:47
Thugs ------------- it would be awesome to be inside the front yard with the same voice and the fake smile the gun shots, the house fire I am one of seven billion thugs and housewives, and horseflies we act like them to fit in, and then we are them in the old cars and the drunk nights the big dreams the fist fights
3.
We need you 03:32
We need you ----------- when the powerful hoofs of the riot horse break the place in your chest that covers your heart fire at them, men with all of your might just be sure that you don´t recede into dark in the dream of the lamb there´s a hint of a wolf and a cloud in the shape of a rifle every droplet of rain is a tracking device every orange on the tree is an apple there´s a voice in our head that cannot be controlled and a cop in the streets with a hammer bury your thoughts under mountains of code and bow at the feet of the camera when the sun hits the roof and the fly rests its wings and the blood hits the back of your shoulder better sink like a man to the end of the blade soon you will return as a spider that is not our lord it´s a falling drone
4.
Smarter 02:38
Smarter ----------- I want to take my waitress by the hand and convince her she´s beautiful like her I´m doing everything I can so I don´t feel invisible I´m just smart enough to survive not one cell smarter Adam took a lion by the horn so he could feel powerful but like every god in every mythic storm it wasn´t believable if I ever find myself a paying job I´ll kneel down and pray to him but like most of us I feel I´m being robbed so until then I´m saving it I´m just smart enough to survive not one cell smarter
5.
Astrid 02:55
Astrid yes, stepping off a train in Berlin drinking champagne is a sin over the applause and clatter all of her movements matter walking down the stairs in a shirt making it work, stopping the clock yes, every word forms a pattern a goodbye kiss her brown hair looks like a snake her blonde hair looks like a cake Astrid bathing in a lake I would like my heart back yes, every note is for Astrid every song I ever did I would like my heart back I would like my heart back I would like my heart back
6.
Empire of my hate --------- replace the system with a murder and a scream and lay your head against a never ending dream I live in a world to which I mostly don´t relate this is the entrance to the empire of my hate empire of my hate under your arches my soldier marches to the empire of my hate embrace a rifle and the loss of privacy destroy the garden of your personality I am like a rabbit on a long forgotten plate this is the entrance to the empire of my hate
7.
New world lamb ------------ when it is over a tired man rests on any damn breast and it is over I´m like a dying star I feel like hell all my friends are doing well they do not call me there is a black flame that burns in the heart the butter and bread is coming apart when it is over a tired man rests on any damn breast and it is over and I am tired in the new world a butcher is king he owns everything this is the new world
8.
Touch is meat ------------- everything is industry I don´t like the things I see I see the thing, the stinking sea everything is industry this is how it feels to sleep threaded like a button all of us are in the street everything we touch is meat everything we touch is meat caught fucking in the hallways I think about it always everything we touch is meat everyone I know is a cheat got brought up in the wrong way I think about it always everyone I know´s a cheat I don´t care about people I keep to myself now I feel like an icicle a psycho on a bicycle
9.
Curses! 03:05
Curses! --------------- there was a flash in the sky from a million universes there go the lights, ring the bells I do not know where the nurse is down here there's noise, there are cars, there is crime, there are curses there was a flash in the sky and then up came all the churches there is a hole in my coat where the stars and the earth is I lost the keys to my boat, my guitar, and my verses down in the crowd there are girls, there is fun, there are purses there is a hole in my coat and a coroner on every corner a coroner on every corner and a photograph of every foreigner there will be a flash in the sky then a black hole where the earth is we become dust, and then stars then we turn back into urchins if you have time ring the bells, cross your heart, close the curtains, turn off the lights, say goodbye there's a coroner on every corner and a photograph of every foreigner
10.
Smile 02:04
Smile ---------- when I grow up I wanna be a waiter waste my life behind a coffee maker I see an apron in my future when I grow up I wanna hide my failure behind a smile
11.
My black prize ------- all eyes on my black prize it’s wake then breath and lunch then death we go out and get wasted somebody call me a cab I wish I guess for peace and meth over dinner all eyes watch us when it hunts it scores when it skies it floors when it rains it rains it rains I crawl to the tips of your walls and your hips with the swans and the tourists all eyes on my black prize somebody call us a cab it’s love I guess for peace and meth over dinner all eyes watch us all of our friends want to be near us
12.
Manic high 03:51
Manic high ------- it´s a killing spree there´s a bead on me that blows me into the vapor I´m a falling tree sliding off of the paper on a sloping hill there´s a sleeping pill and blankets over the windows I have seen enough my destiny is the pillow it´s a fall on a manic high I´m a dragonfly diving off of a building on a manic high I cannot control what I´m feeling it´s a fall
13.
Lemon seed 03:02
Lemon seed ----------- the lemon seed my girl and me her leg inspires the wolves, the choirs the falling sun the fallen one the party´s ending the body´s bending the door is closed the sun has holes the end is coming the cum is ending they kneel to pray she looked away a man surrenders to bars and benders a ringing bell we´re high as hell the tower´s creaking the water’s leaking first I´m conscious then I´m unconscious then I´m conscious then I´m unconscious increase your wealth but lose yourself a fool acquires the cars, the tires the lemon seed my girl and me her leg inspires the wolves, the choirs the door slams closed we are exposed the end is coming the cum is ending
