Recorded at Pauly Studio Giessen, Germany 2014

lyrics

the mumbling in the streets is monotone and numbing
someone wants to break out and leave the dust track running
after choking birds by hand too exhausted from all their humming
sirens and whistles resonate from the walls of unmanned buildings
construction is over this section is further away
planes flap their wings as brides weigh their rings in stone
rotting teeth and melting cheese
a train stops in its tracks
cause a drone felt alone and went looking for home
as the rain came pouring all over
mercury and lead is washed away and the
bare land is seen from the sky
the telephone rings but there's noone to take the call
vending machines full of crusty pipe dreams
melt in another wildfire
a violet torn in a heavy duststorm that took down
the planes and the choppers
the rotator blades bent and stuck in the soil
roots that were burried but barely untouched are pulled out like
cords and cables
a wireless system and a meaningless creature
crouching to hide from the law
taking offence in any comment
seachlights slice the cold spring night
wrinkles under his eyes fulled by the paranoia
a fusion of a fantasy threat
and some real hard-core persecution
they enter the tunnel and loose their signals
the walkie-talkies are useless in here
they light candles and torches
and almost die in the smoke as the coalmine comes to life in flames
almost cause they reach a crossroads
and escape through a sewage canal
small boys and lost toys swim upstream and laugh
at the smell of the dead
limbs that flow freely
one survivor got stuck in a narrowing pipeline
her head underwater but her feet dry
as the sand that was on the river bank
