Sister, Sister

Sister, sister, this is our struggle
Sister, sister, we will win this fight
Asking nicely doesn’t work out
Sister, sister, together we’re loud
You love your woman as she loves her man,
But the law tells you that your love is wrong
But love’s no sin, butch or femme
It’s not you - it’s them
You can call her partner but not your wife
Even though she changed your life
But love’s no sin, it grows and thrives
It’s not a phase, it’s not fake
It’s how we love, hell, we won’t change
Some people out there tell you how to live
They’re telling you, that you just need a dick
Sister keep going, doing how you do
Keep fighting them, ‘cause they have no clue
This love is real, this love is true
We’re not sick, we’re not few
This love is queer, this love is pure
We’re so much more, we will endure
This love is ours, this love is strong
Fab and proud, we sing our song
This love is bliss, this love is right
Now let us dance all through the night

Tigress

Do I scare you baby? / Are you confused by me?
Do I attract you baby? / Are you seduced by me?
Your stereotypes don’t suit me / Yet I suit your fantasies
Do you wanna fuck me / To hide your insecurities
You can’t handle me
Does it feel like a nightmare?
You won’t shut me up
You thought I was your dream
Every little word I say triggers your fragility
Every little word you say reveals your insecurity
I’m a Tigress
Are you frightened, honey? / Is it change you fear?
Can you see it coming? / Is it the storm you hear?
Before you shut down, baby / Try to shut up for once
Just listen, honey / This is your only chance

Tell me darling why are we still here?
Right where we were, is it cozy?
Days and years pass by, time jails our minds
Why don’t we wanna move?
Sweet, carefree, stuck in comfort
Complacency from head to toe
They say ignorance is bliss, I guess they are right
We can’t even face our fears
We are, we are blind in our hearts
Still waiting for the right moment to open up
This is, this is our last chance
To stand up, be brave, tomorrow’s too late
Bitterness aside
Cynics shut up
Move, darling, why are we still here
Don’t you think it’s time for us to act
The world turns mercilessly every day
Don’t you think we’re wasting our time

Setting The Sails
04:58

Seeing myself from the other side of the mirror
Screaming at myself but I don’t see clearer
Whenever I move, my shadow moves with me
Seeking the truth, but the evidence seems shady
Is it me I see or just my reflection
in my words and deeds and all my reactions
If I can’t determine my own position
Sailing on high seas without knowing my mission
All those voices warning me of dangers
But still in my territory they are the strangers
No matter how hard they try to save me
No matter how great their rescue plan may be
Stuck in my own deep blue salty sea
Won’t ever be able to fully agree
With my decisions about the oncoming journey
If setting the sails northwards is worth it
My old compass broke down, broke down
The fading light is my countdown
Still trying to navigate
Still seeking my goddamn coordinates

Sleep Well
04:31
|

|
Sleep well, sleep tight, let me switch off the light
Sweet dreams, night night, soon you’re done with your fight
I wonder about your dreams tonight, and in the nights before
Even when closed your eyes are telling tales of days of yore
I choke and I forget all the noises around me, the demons that haunt me
The world seems to be so unreal when certainty stares you in the eyes
The things I cared about, are the things I overlook now
The things I worried about, are the things that don’t matter now

Waking up, unable to move
Cloaked in pain, everything has been removed
Here’s a gun and there’s a knife
Just let me go, just let me die
How many more of us are here
All of us drowning in sheer fear
All of us trembling, made to bleed
All of us suffering this perverted greed
Trapped - for bloody vanity
Tortured - in the name of profit
Killed - for cruel fashion
Hear me
Save me
When I crawled across the floor
Wondering where the coat is that I wore
I lie here naked, I lie here broken
No chance to escape, no words have been spoken
There’s no end in sight
I am terrified
I hear my babies cry
There is no sky
let me go
let me go
let me die
let me die

Between the tunnels from Genoa to Nice
The hills are rough, the green is lush
The old towns on the hills look all the same
Long gone glory, forgotten name
In each tunnel from Genoa to Nice
We leave behind another uncomfortable truth
Promise each other new stories each mile
Prettify our future smile by smile
And I like leaving those tunnels with you
Because the weather has changed meanwhile
And I like, I like to pretend to pretend everything is fine
And I’d like to leave
Next to the tunnels from Genoa to Nice
Some buildings decay, some seem just fine
Polished facade, dead inside
And we sit out the discomfort

Clouds

Five o’clock in the morning
The moon is shining into my room
Everything’s quiet, everything’s peaceful
Only birds are singing joyfully
A restlessness arises
It is washing over me
A tingle down my neck
And I don’t know where it comes from
I am lying in my bed, clouds in my head,
My eyes all red because I haven’t slept so far
My thoughts all jumbled up
They’re moving up and down and down and ’round again
And the sun is slowly rising
And a new day is breaking again
And all the troubles from the night
Are fading away again
And the moon melts into the light
And the darkness comes to a close
And all the remnants from the night
Are crumbling to dust

Old enough to decide which way to go
Bold enough to stride right into the flow
Coward enough, so just bugger off
Every new dawn my head feels so heavy
I’m losing my ground
And now the ground won’t carry
Cannot grasp what I see, this absurdity

Wake Up
03:22
|

|
Wake up, wake up, it’s not all about you
The world won’t stop turning without you
Not sorry to break it to you, but we don’t care
You bastard, don’t you dare
So you think you are cool, yeah?
So you think you wanna play, yeah?
Who asked your opinion, man
Who died and made you king, yeah?
You feel entitled to talk, yeah?
Now you’re running like a real coward
Too chicken to face the music
Too scared to fight this girl
Stop romanticizing, stop moaning
Stop apologizing, leave us alone
Get lost, fuck off, away you go
