lyrics

With every breath I take A piece of my old world crumbles away Like the cliffs of this empire Dreams dissolve in despair There is no reason, there is no rhyme Like there is never a good time Or a turn or a season to die Like there is never an answer To the question why It just is And you never needed any of this You just needed to live So how can you say you don’t want to see me When all you have left Is a fragment of now And all of eternity This silence won’t do me no good I know that I should If only I could So see you when I see you Maybe never again Just like my old world Nothing will ever be the same again All slowly slipping away Like you, like me I’m so sorry i couldn’t stay Yes i miss you more Than you would ever have known Like all the hopes and dreams We never had Oh why does it always have to be So sad

The Sickness (3rd Wave) 04:52
lyrics

Better keep your distance better stay locked down and in this one is persistent this one comes from deep within Better look behind you better be prepared it is all around you as if you ever cared This sickness will not go away this sickness is here to stay Better know your enemy try not to hard to breathe you might inhale insanity always lurking underneath This sickness will not go away this sickness is here to stay this sickness will not go away unless you do A head full of conspiracies minds smeared with deadly dirt words obscuring transparencies the future comes on all blurred (always on bs alert)

lyrics

Pretty straight forward Swiftly undone We know everything now Know everything is wrong Still we gloat with this Trivia overload Is this for real? I’ll get my coat Blissful our ignorance Our infinite pretence As we try to re-assemble The shards of common sense Deconstructing The maze we move in Deconstructing the original sin Deconstructing Where to begin Deconstructing

Diva 03:55
lyrics

Stare like cold Greek marble You never give yourself away In your ivory tower of babel Try to relive your glory days Veil all your insecurities Behind polite pretense And nonsensical obscurities There’s no gap in your defense Never surrender to pure passion Your emotions all in check Ever on top of trends and fashion Your spirit’s always up to spec Act out your absurd opera All love and war, devotion, lies Squeal live a deaf and mute diva And in the end, everybody dies You ride like Sancho Panza Into the twilight of your days Roll like a Jerry Panzer Through the front line of your craze Your world view’s so Ambrosian And your outlook Kafkaesque Never give in to raw emotions But can you really stand the test

about

Less of a reflection on the recent epidemic periods and more of the general work I have done in the last couple of years this is yet another amalgamation of new, unused and re-imagined soundscapes, some of which have already prominently circulated on my YouTube channel.
Originally intended as an altogether more experimental song-affair I decided to add a couple of 'rockers' to somewhat lighten the rather bleak mood that attempted to take over.

Apart from a few rather abstract words the lyrics are very much of a personal nature, making "Contaminated" almost a companion piece to my first vocal album, "Some Of My Best Friends Are Songs", from which one whole track escaped and now presents itself here in its new emperor's clothes.
