Thorts I'm trying to figure this out still trying to walk without doubt Sometimes I think that this acids still stuck in my brain From twenty years ago when I was insane I don't like to go out I stay away from the crowds I don't like to dance though I get loose and move to this music And act like a goose and when the beat kicks in I feel happy all Over and my face wears a grin Life doesn't seem as grim as it once did This is more than just music mother fucker this is everything Ain't what it seems quiet on the surface got me nervous in dreams Ain't got no purpose but to pay these bills I'm only here coz my ancestors fucked some against their will We kill the innocent to eat their flesh We're conditioned not to question our traditions or to reassess Blessed be the few in this world of fools No soup for you if you don't follow the rules I play it cool in the background Surround myself with like minded artists and those Who like to get down But when I get outside of my head and look around It makes me sad that I'm halfway dead Parkwaechter Harlekin (English translation) Sit with the demigod in white because half-dead and pain Because soon it will tear my aging heart apart maybe Who knows what remains what comes Only time and no one else Quiet hope lies tiredly into my conscience While I'm still waiting to miss the stage Therapy and tinder loneliness forever No one leaves traces on the asphalt but winter Road salt in the wounds Served narrow-minded mottled gray and gone Half life overcome everything else still stings What a week huh captain it's Wednesday Cabbage pasta and semolina porridge Corner gas and love Food for the soul and a life for the instincts Half dead half the rent the circle closes Sometime but no hurry as long as there's beats

Me I'm trying to catch my breath me I'm trying to catch my breath Me I'm trying to catch my breath me I'm trying to catch my breath Sufficiently breathless cigarettes and coffee for breakfast I got a death wish I know now this rain is gone I just want to wake up and sing my song Please don't take me from my home I learnt my lesson I'll be strong Days ain't lasting now too long I just wish we could go back To when we had some clarity when we had some clarity This world has no sanity it's insanity I just want to hold you and keep you warm Safe from this world where our love was formed At the end of the day I just want to hold you I just want to hold you it ain't hard to tell Look in my eyes girl you know me well At the end of the day I just want to hold you So tight in aging arms no light in waging wars Opaque these clouds of smoke no joke this world is yours A force in affect fall like these thoughts that are all in this head Caution off parts that are best left dead Grown over paths where we still seem to tread I know I just want to stay alive and breathe for our kids with you by my side I don't believe in destiny but you and me were meant to be I just want to hold you and keep you warm Safe from this world where our love was formed At the end of the day I just want to hold you I just want to hold you it ain't hard to tell Look in my eyes girl you know me well At the end of the day I just want to hold you Me I'm trying to catch my breath me I'm trying to catch my breath Me I'm trying to catch my breath me I'm trying to catch my breath

Looky looky looky looky looky Looky looky here Looky here where did all my hair go my dear like a deer in headlight in the night I've been Unprepared taking my time with this love keeping it all inside one day we will turn to dust Maybe we should be alive leave it or live with this lust maybe we will capsize How do we know if we don't at least give this a try I've been locked in myself for so long With this muzzle the puzzle the pieces I held them apart with no peace I resisted But now I'm not struggling no more holding back fucking myself with this fear and not showing The world what I'm capable of if I'm honest I'm dope as fuck but they don't know this yet Notice me looky here I couldn't be much more clear you and me shed a tear now we tear this our year I've been bleeding on a bass line feeding on them grey skies peaking off my brain Seeking something else sick of all these sane nice simple little lame mice Time to put my name in your fucking mouth Looky here everybody stare when I say look away what a time to be alive I've been in my head Thinking about what they what they could possibly think who is they anyways Why do I give a shit we're running out of time maybe we need to sprint I've got a beautiful mind Even though at times it's sick I've been stuck in this state I won't wait anymore now I'm out I'll explore and explode from my core this is food for thoughts and I'm eating up everything Watch me voyeur destroying that voice that has crippled the ripple affect I hope reaches To others that need it I'm bleeding profusely I do not care Notice me looky here I couldn't be much more clear you and me shed a tear now we tear this our year I've been bleeding on a bass line feeding on them grey skies peaking off my brain Seeking something else sick of all these sane nice simple little lame mice Time to put my name in your fucking mouth

Thorts Clink jam jars cute like a Quokka you call it football we call it soccer no props but I'm proper don't thank god but I'm thankful for poppa my grandad loved me, dead to this world shit hurts like a rugby tackle mostly I babble like Abraham Simpson not breaking bones but I'm wishing fishing for a brand new something sick of these blues like a blood now I'm dusting call me Hoffman I'm often off and on again honestly I need a friend I'm a work in progress might change soon but that's probably a long stretch just like yoga, need to break a sweat but I'd rather eat a donut made a boo boo like yogi now I'm on a choo choo riding like a pony genuine shit I'm a thinker love to have a smoke but I'm definitely not a drinker thanks to my alcoholic father taught me to write my own script for this drama I'm an actor just like you stuck in this screen I could scream but what would this do Parkwaechter Harlekin clink weck jars, emerge like Ziesel in Stammersdorf he drives the mining train, i ride on the Wiesel from Baden through Liesing to Margareten to Chrisi because easy with the ex I greet the lost pour the obligatory puddles from the bottles onto the pavement it splashes and ripples I am certainly respectable even if I have no respect it hurts like a spike against the shin I make a fuss like Mundl and sometimes get shitfaced drunk like Mundl and occasionally I smoke like Blahovec off to the next garden party no, I'd rather be alone at home, day in and day out, bent over a manifesto first I eye my insides, get fat and sigh steal your picnic like Yogi Bear no more catastrophes, please, the verses are increasing but the strength is fading Parkwaechter Harlekin and Thorts in many places, Vienna and there beats pierced word for word again do a lot, never exercise

Life's but a dream full of snags and lies we carry our fears like bags under eyes I bathe in the tears of wankers, haters & cunts life's too short to give too many fucks I once mistook cat shit for chalk when on acid and tried to tag with it on a brick wall at night that shit turned to powder and fell in slow motion It caused a commotion and blew my damn mind now whats that got to do with the price of fish in Kamchatka I have not a clue but I do know this when I’m dead and gone you can wave both fists as you dance to this song I do what I love and that’s all that matters I kiss and I hug I screw and bat off a matter of fact with some fiction mixed in for fun it’s joyful glum there’s more to life than what we’re told it makes less sense as we get old I won’t repent for my mistakes my thoughts they bleed though it’s all in vain I made my bed so now I lie truth be told it’s cold at night but still there’s not one thing I’d change I’m happy as Larry to sing from this grave leave me to sleep as I waster away let the animals eat as I slowly decay like this earth that we rape and abuse for our pleasure we choose to look the opposite way I’m but a man what can I do stand by convictions or move in a robot like manner and do what I must to survive and provide for my piglets this ladder with instincts I climb tisk tisk to where who knows limp as this wrist as I pull and expose the mask off this man made masquerade please do as your told till your old and your grey while you suffer in silence and hide who you are in these words that you write while they pull you apart piece by piece till there’s none left within but a story to tell so now this song I sing there’s more to life than what we’re told it makes less sense as we get old I won’t repent for my mistakes my thoughts they bleed though it’s all in vain I made my bed so now I lie truth be told it’s cold at night but still there’s not one thing I’d change I’m happy as Larry to sing from this grave

No rules no frames like Smokey & Joel said back in the day though I scurried away carrying pain now my muscles are big and I cant complain though I do everyday it could be worse I guess nursing these wounds from this ledge It’s a curse and a blessing this flesh I’m bursting with pride but I keep it inside what a mess I’m in two different minds I confess but I don’t coz people are cruel and this world is a joke I need fuel in my tank, where are we going? I’m not quite sure but that’s ok, ok are we there yet, are we there yet, are we there yet, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know are we there yet, are we there yet, are we there yet, let me grow, let me grow, let me grow into someone who flowers that no longer cowers and hides away from the truth I need magic powers less weed to devour not simple but still I’m obtuse goose chasing his own damn tail in circles I crawl like a baby it’s cute like my dear lady we’re perfect together like chips and gravy I do wish I was different while at the same time loving all of my pieces they move in different directions encrypted inflections don’t miss these conceptions I glue my thoughts with these words as they fall what purpose does this serve at all who am I? I’m not even sure but that’s ok, ok are we there yet, are we there yet, are we there yet, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know are we there yet, are we there yet, are we there yet, let me go, let me go, let me go

Thorts There’s a beautiful garden of flowers in my backyard there’s a beautiful garden of flowers in my backyard there’s a beautiful garden of flowers in my backyard so beautiful beautiful Beautiful seems to be my favorite word in this book here, each chapter, slightly different from the last my footprints leave traces of my existence, haven’t got a clue like everybody else we fudge our way through these pages, pretending we can read but really we’re all blind as fuck, don’t lead me astray, I don’t pray to no god not even in a hole so keep yours shut, I travel through this space and time not knowing answers but questions I got a lot this brain won’t stop till my heart stops pumping blood and in reality that’s all it does, I got so much love for this home that we’ve made and I’m never going to give this up, I’m taking time to arrive at my conclusion no rushing around in this rat race which we move in I wish to smell all these roses in this world I appreciate each breath I now except all my faults experience this world with me I’ll give you all that I’ve got Thorts & Amber Martin There’s a beautiful garden of flowers in my backyard there’s a beautiful garden of flowers in my backyard there’s a beautiful garden of flowers in my backyard so beautiful, beautiful .smallz. Sitting in the lobby of an unfamiliar building, as good a time as any to ponder life’s misgivings, how many of us dying just to say that we’re living, feet on solid ground but opinions can be shifted, if I was a magician would it be a hat trick, filled the whole room with silence drop of a match stick, reveal no secrets nothing up the sleeve, just a slight of hand willingness to believe, what’s originality in a world so bright, too many dim bulbs need that natural light, which is not the plight of the average man, it’s straight from the presses back to the ash can, d.i.y cat scans and web diagnoses, can’t write the magnum opus when you’re feeling claustrophobic, at least I got these roses of flowers in my garden, it reminds me of the beauty when I start to feel the darkness Thorts & Amber Martin There’s a beautiful garden of flowers in my backyard there’s a beautiful garden of flowers in my backyard there’s a beautiful garden of flowers in my backyard so beautiful, beautiful Amber Martin There’s a beautiful garden of flowers in my backyard there’s a beautiful garden of flowers in my backyard there’s a beautiful garden of flowers in my backyard so beautiful, beautiful
