scissors and spoons
03:13
|

the only things that I am left with
are scissors and spoons
I have drunk all the rum
and eaten all the food
the only things that I am left with
are scissors and spoons
I deleted my songs
erased all my moods
the only things I am left with
are scissors and spoons
there's no forks and no knives
no guns, no balloons
the only things I am left with
are scissors and spoons
there's no sun and no soap
no stars and no glue
only scissors and spoons
the only things I am left with
are scissors and spoons
got no fingers to cross
no face to be bruised
the only things that I am left with
are scissors and spoons
there's no trees and no grass
no snow and no you
the only things that I am left with
are scissors and spoons
chairs and tables long gone
my ideas all misused
the only things that I'm left with
are scissors and spoons
no more damage to be done
nothing to pull through
only scissors and spoons

life is impossible
03:38
|
|||
my shoes they have big holes
and my mind it has holes too
my toes they are so frozen
and my thoughts are frozen too
my feet they are so restless
and my heart is restless too
my eyes are red and swollen
and the sky is swollen too
this place is oh so random
and random is all I knew
life it teaches you crap
and crap divides in two
and this is what the neighbors sing:
life it is impossible
yeah it isn't possible
my prison, it has no walls
and my mind has no walls too
the inmates are all so tired
and the guard is tired too
my demons they look like angels
and angels they look like you
people pray to gods
but gods are helpless too
and this is what the angels sing:
life it is impossible
yeah it isn't possible
my sugar it tastes like salt
and life tastes salty too
once you find a clump of gold
just paint it red and blue
take a trip to the dead sea
and float until you're due
there in the salty waters
the creatures will sing to you
and this is what the creatures sing:
life it is impossible
yeah it isn't possible

not growing
01:32
|

The world is growing in front of me
trees are growing in front of me
the kids are growing in front of me
its only me who is not growing.
Streets are growing in front of me
Cities are growing in front of me
The world is growing in front of me
its only me who is not growing.
Stars are falling in front of me
people are crawling in front of me
habits are growing in front of me
its only me who is not growing.
Kids get beaten in front of me
violence, so sweet, in front of me
money is growing in front of me
its only me who is not growing.
Words are growing in front of me
words too big to mean a thing
things are thriving in front of me
its only me who is not thriving
Faces so fed up in front of me
rooms too small to hide a thief
the world is growing in front of me
its only me who is not growing.

helsinki

I'm walking through walls
I'm digging new holes
I'm making new friends
they help me to cope
I'm walking on roofs
talking to birds
I'm making new friends
they know this city well
I'm walking on clouds
they take me around
and high from above
I just fall down and roll
I'm walking on glass
flying first class
I'm licking my wounds
I'm gonna make this work
I wont smile on demand
but I'll smile till the end
I'm making new friends
they know this city well
and they'll take me around
let me walk underground
oh, I really like this place
I might unpack and stay

then you left
02:22
|
|||
I was afraid that you would stay
but you're already far away
I was afraid that you would talk and talk
but you kept your mouth shut
I was afraid that this would be bad
but it's actually just oh so mad
I was afraid that you would stay
and become my worst enemy
but then you left
and you smashed my windows when you left
and you scratched my eyes out when you left
and you fed poison to my cat
and you burned down my flat
well I'll remember you
I was afraid that you would want more
but you kept hiding behind locked doors
I was afraid that you would sink
but you built a shining ship
I was afraid that you would cry
but never have I seen a tear in your eye
I was afraid that you would hang
from the ceiling and it would bend
but then you left
and you smashed my windows when you left
and you scratched my eyes out when you left
and you fed poison to my cat
and you burned down my flat
well I'll remember you
I was afraid that you wouldn't let go
but you had already hit the road
I was afraid that you would come back
so I stayed put and never left
I was afraid of being afraid
and told you that I just don't give a shit
I just hoped that this might end
but it has never begun instead
cause then you left
and you smashed my windows when you left
and you scratched my eyes out when you left
and you fed poison to my cat
and you burned down my flat
well I'll remember you
I promise I'll do

strange fall
02:21
|
|||
a strange fall into the person that I had been
a strange fall into the fears I fear the most
a strange fall in the second when you told me
a strange fall let's just be friends, let's just be friends
a strange fall when I looked into the mirror
a strange fall my little boy my little boy
a strange fall when I open up the newspapers
a strange fall I feel the war I feel the war
a strange kick from all the years and all the pain within
a strange kick I can always make a joke
a strange kick from leaving everything behind
a strange kick from being alone from being alone
a strange kick from having no home, no place to go
a strange kick from no money and no sleep
a strange kick from saying anything is fine with me
a strange kick anything is fine with me

happy
02:10
|
|||
you gotta be happy by yourself
you gotta be happy from within
you gotta be happy by yourself
you gotta be strong and content
you gotta have dreams up your ass
you gotta invest in yourself
you better invest
you gotta feel sorry for the planet
you gotta eat healthy and take a walk
you gotta get fed up and explode
you gotta break in half – do the trick
you gotta want destruction, gotta want pain
you gotta be forcibly removed
you gotta be removed, man

true love
03:30
|

I was sitting on my chair
looking around for something to happen
and nothing happened
and I was sitting on my chair
I was lying in my bed
looking around for something to happen
and nothing happened
and I was lying in my bed
I was walking down the street
looking around for something to happen
and nothing happened
and I kept walking down the street
and I moved to another town
looking around for something to happen
and nothing happened
and I just moved to another town
and I got myself a job
knowing that nothing will happen
and nothing happened
and I got myself a job
then one day late in june
nothing laughed and started talking
and then we cuddled
and nothing felt so warm and sweet
warm and sweet
nothing held me so tight
and I said: I'll love you forever
and nothing nodded
and knew that my love was true
love.... was... true
true... love

jos oot

jos oot hukassa
sitten voidaan olla yhdessä
jos et oo hukassa
mua ei kiinnosta
jos oot pulassa
sitten voidaan kyllä hengailla
jos et oo pulassa
mua ei kiinnosta
jos oot pihalla
sitten voidaan jutella
mut jos et oo pihalla
mua ei kiinnosta
jos sul on velkoja
sitten voidaan tuhlaa rahoja
jos sul on rahoja
mua ei kiinnosta
jos oot ristiriidassa
sit mä saatan rakastua
jos oot järjissäsi
mua ei kiinnosta
jos sua pelottaa
kyl me voidaan jotain keksiä
mut jos sua ei pelota
sit mä en tajua
jos oot jumissa
voidaan yhdessä jumittaa
mut jos et oo jumissa
mua ei kiinnosta
jos oot sellainen
joka pyrkii kaaokseen
sit oot ainutlaatuinen
ja oot mun hetkisen.
