As I take a look around
I can see so much beauty
Surrounding me
Piercing through me
And I just can't bear it
This designed exclusiveness
The world has so much to offer
And you're only willing to share so little
Of what belongs to all of us
We don't want the same
Why do you pretend
That clenching a fist
Equates an open hand?
Do you think we'll wait until
We're allowed to speak?
I guess your greatest weakness is
Mistaking us for weak
I'm watching another sunrise
Taking a breath
But I can't sigh with relief
Since I know
You're trying everything in your power
To have us pay for this view
And please spare me your prose
It's dishonest and it's wasted
I'm not listening anymore
Since I truly believe
I'll find more honesty and kindness
At the bottom of every ashtray in this town
We don't want the same
Why do you pretend
That clenching a fist
Equates an open hand?
Do you think we'll wait until
We're allowed to speak?
I guess your greatest weakness is
Mistaking us for weak
We don't want the same
Why do you pretend
That reaching for cash
Equates a helping hand?
Do you think we'll wait until
We're allowed to speak?
I guess your greatest weakness is
Mistaking us for weak

βBig boys donβt cryβ
Not only a dull fairytale
But also a noxious lie
Let me tell you something real
Iβm made of flesh, made of bones
I bleed, I cry, I fuckinβ feel
I believe the same applies to you
At least thatβs what I hope
Isnβt it exhausting to try and conceal
A simple matter of fact?
For how long can you hold your breath?β¨And how strong do you think you have to be?β¨How do you define being strong at all?β¨Does it mean that we all have to take the fall?
β¨Your ramshackle fortress
Makes a crumbling sound
A Potemkin village
Ainβt no pleasant place to live
The most colorful confettiβ¨
Comes from black and white pictures
So letβs shred them to piecesβ¨
And dance in the most amazing rain
βBoys will be boysβ
If you keep telling them
βBoys will be boysβ
I can't take this crap just one more day
For how long can you hold your breath?β¨And how strong do you think you have to be?β¨How do you define being strong at all?β¨Does it mean that we all have to take the fall?
If being a man means
Acting like a giant macho douche
If being a man means
Expecting inbred authority
Reducing oneself to a robot
And living a life of self-destruction
Then count me out
Just count me out
Count
Me
Out

Well, it's kind of like this:
Imagine you're a half-empty soy milk
Trapped in the wrong fridge
Ten years past the expiration date to the day now
You keep wasting away
And whenever there's a light
You know that door's gonna close fast
Now you're back in the dark
And a well-known cold starts dazing you again
Have you ever felt this way?
Have you ever felt this way?
Now this is going down
With all hope on the ground
So listen to this sound
And if you're with me just frown
And for what it's worth:
At least we're not alone in that fucking fridge
Let's try to get out of here together

Swimming Lessons

Feels like
A river flowing over me
Dragging
Me bit by bit into the sea
So far away
And closer to the edge
But still
I cannot feel regret
Feels like
A river flowing over me
Not once
Does it even bother me
So far away
And closer to the edge
But still
I cannot feel regret
Breathing has become
Much harder since I stopped
Caring about keeping
My head above the water
And as I'm floating my memories
Slowly turn into uncertainties
I'm afraid this fading image is everything that's left
Of who I used to be and who I might have become
Everything is numb
Everything is numb
Everything is numb
Sink or swim
I don't care
Sink or swim
I don't care
Everything is numb
Everything is numb
Everything is numb
Everything is numb

Commercial Breakdown
01:50

Another franchise
Another brand
Same stale stereotypes
Bottled and canned
Another must-have
Another βBe unique by fitting in, my friend!β
But what can I say?
The things you're offering us
They're just not real
I resolutely decline
We're heading down a road
With a heavy load
Full speed aback
With a carrot in the eye
This ain't a βNo, thanks!β
This' a βFuck that!β
Watch me spitting blood
At your poisonous farce
These declared aces
That you advertise
Just commonplaces
Of the production line
Everything comes at a price you say
I have to laugh and frown
As I climb in a shopping cart
And ride out of town

Farewell Part II
03:44
|
|||
|
Searching for signs of humanity
In a world ruled by inhuman authority
As we gaze upon those trenches
As we reach out through those fences
That are put between us
By cold-hearted calculation
β¨You and I
Together in this
You and I
Together in this
But torn apart
Frustration
Crashing down on me
Isolation
Boon and bane
As I count down to the bitter end
β¨I donβt see a light at the end of the tunnel
I donβt even see that damn tunnel
Is this how it ends?
The course of things out of our hands?
When all we do is cope
Then weβve lost all our hope
There is nothing
Really nothing
That will set us freeβ¨
There is nothing
Really nothing
Only you and me
There is nothing
Really nothing
That will set us freeβ¨
There is nothing
Really nothing
Only you and me
(Let's) Bridge these trenches
Break these fences
You and I are one
(Let's) Bridge these trenches
Break these fences
We are one

Shower Days

Too early a.m.
In the bathroom
Turning on the shower
Trying to get clean
And so
I'm soaping, I'm scrubbing
I'm scratching, I'm rubbing
But the dirt's not coming off
And the water's turning red
That's when I once again accept:
It's an internal flaw
As long as the water
Doesn't run through my skull
To flush this mental toxic waste
Finally down the drain
I keep trying not to bash my brain out
From the inside
Can't help it
Still filthy
Can't help it
Still filthy

Credit

Thrown into
This cold wasteland
Just like you
But what sets us apart
Is your joy in taking credit
For things you did not accomplish at all
And that are also fucking lame
And so I'm trapped
With these potato heads
Cannot relate
You and I don't equal βweβ
And I won't feel at home in
One of your burnt out ruins
That you try to make look nice
While telling lies of better long gone times
We didn't do a single thing
To randomly end up here
So what are you fucking proud of?
You just got crapped out in this dump
Like everybody else
So shut your fucking face
No need for affiliation
No heart for a nation

Brightest Hour
02:45
|

|
Fan the flame of a burning heart
To melt the ice that keeps us apart
To reach out and ignite the spark
Ignite the spark of our lives
Keep perspective against all odds
An open mind for regret and loss
To live our lives in dedication
For better days and liberation
A voice and understanding
To get over our differences
Instead of blaming each other
To empower one another
No time for doubt
No space for hate
No time for doubt
No space for hate
Disappointments do not make a point
In our brightest hour
Disappointments do not make a point
In our brightest hour
We anchor our steps
By the hand of a confidant
In our brightest hour

Words And Deeds

Don't excuse my language
It is simply the plain answer
To that steaming pile of shit
That you keep building eagerly with
Words and deeds
You're a homophobic asshole
And I hate your freaking guts
No wait, that's the wrong expression
'Cause βphobicβ indicates that
You're afraid, but you're not
You're a shit head who attacks
Other human beings 'cause of sheer facts
That are not in the slightest your
Fucking business
Save your breath, give us all a break
From the hate you propagate
It's not healthy for you or anyone else
You ignorant fuck
Your black and white crap
I don't need that
Life's just too colorful
And don't give me that shit
'Bout nature
First of all: You're wrong
More important: Fuck off!
Don't you try
To destroy
This place of diverse unity
We don't want
We don't need
Dividing cold-hearted fiction

Feeling sick
Feeling sick again
I guess I'm staying in once more
This time I'll say it's the flu
No one needs to know
Staying in
Staying in again
How long must I play this game?
Who am I trying to protect?
And from what?
Locked-in with myself
The other night
Woken up by a sound
Coming from the kitchen
Oh, what a sight
Could not believe my eyes
Some serious Disney shit went down
The drawers wide open
The magic right there
The knives started chanting
And dancing, I swear
So mesmerizing, I joined in:
βThis can end right hereβ
When the silverware wants to be friends watch out!
Even if everything seems hopeless
A small ray of light shines through the keyhole
At the end of the tunnel
Determination is the key
It's a long and arduous journey
But always worth fighting
But (it's) always worth fighting
This time you won't give in

Kein Bock is a record I play a lot, so I am very happy to find more Schwach tunes! I love the experiments with sax on a couple of tracks. Another excellent hardcore album!
