Rusty Nails
Unbroken speech
You tricked me on shaky ground
Don’t tell me
How it feels like walking on rusty nails
But the pain’s not mine
When we collide down is the only way out
‘Cause hell’s above
I try to focus on anything but the strain inside
So words rise while I touch the sky
Won’t stay long
Just passing by
But you talked it away
You talked it away
oh man what I used to be // oh man oh my oh me
And glow
Glow
Melt and flow
Eviscerate your fragile frame
And spill it out on ragged floor
A thousand different versions of yourself
Glow
Melt and flow
Eviscerate your fragile frame
And spill it out on ragged floor
A thousand different versions of yourself

[could it not work out for me just once? could I not, just once, not be the victim? always the one to be hurt, always the one to lose.]
Blue Spotted Tail
Why in the night sky are the lights on?
Why is the earth moving round the sun?
Floating in the vacuum with no purpose, not a one
Why in the night sky are the lights on?
Why is life made only for to end?
Why do I do all this waiting then?
Why this frightened part of me that’s fated to pretend?
Why is life made only for to end?
In the city only for a whileHere to face the fortune and the bile
I heard you on the radio, I couldn’t help but smile
In the city only for a while
Why in the night sky are the lights on?
Why is the earth moving round the sun?
Floating in the vacuum with no purpose, not a one
Why in the night sky are the lights on?
We shall meet this violence and terror with more humanity and more democracy.
— Jens Stoltenberg, Norwegian Prime Minister

Apocalypso
In nolan time sign
What does the mind cover
Are we talking
White is the winter
Care-line, care-lines thumbed it up
What are your stories all about
Carries a weight on her swing
On her swing
Black waves come
And so fear me, December
Sinking in nolan time
I’ve lost all my pure feelings
The psychiatrist posing as psychologist
When fear predicts
Then doubtly the mind suffers
Are we talking?
White is the winter
Care-line, Care-lines thumbed it up
What are your stories all about?
Carries a weight on her swing
On her swing
Black waves come
And so fear me, December
Sinking
Waltz with me, courageously
We’re dancing, dancing
We will not die
Our days are multiplied
And I’m happy again
Care-line, Care-lines thumbed it up
What are your stories all about?
Carries a weight on her swing
On her swing
And do you look in the mirror
to remind yourself you’re there
Or has somebody’s goodnight kisses
got that covered?
When I’m not being honest
I pretend that you were just some lover
to remind yourself you’re there
Or has somebody’s goodnight kisses
got that covered?
When I’m not being honest
I pretend that you were just some lover
