Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) Found in "Lachsior's" collection... First I liked the cover artwork. Then I listened to a couple of tracks, and liked them, too. And boom - it's in my collection! That was the fast lane of purchasing. The songs are fascinating... I pretty much like the guitar sound and the melodic hooks. And I like the fact that everything has been written with the important directive: A song isn't over, unless its running time runs out. Not a second wasted here - alternative rock at its best! Favorite track: CT.

MOON 01:49
drown me i'm the cancer our raging ocean of karma our blood sinning and with my last force of life, i'll pull us toward the bottom i'm not swimming the surface folds and we're way too stoned to argue we swallow each other i look up and straight at my moon it's way too much and i di---------

LASERDISC 03:17
white papers, folded into your pockets, encrypted with better futures when they ball up in the wash, what becomes of the life that was promised to you? does it drain out with the soap and water? under houses, away until it splits across a filter? are you waiting for your peace of mind to roll back with the tide? you shouldn't have carved something into the shore you might forget are you scared you're losing ground you won't be able to get back? it comes back are you drowning in the killing tide? do you find yourself pressed for air? swim to the surface of raging waters and get to the shore, but don't forget where you were losing ground before, now you are getting it back it all comes back what are you waiting for?

PARTY...! 02:41
takes more than good timing, to be honest you're too caught up in the way you think this fixes figure out how to take back every not-so-subtle front door brag can't afford the life, it's too expensive how much have you spent on pot and bedhead haircuts? figure out how to take back all of the boring shit you sold me on i'll suffer silently, because you don't believe me when i tell you i'm nervous suffer silently and break for the door the second that i get the chance i'm the bigger titan to your tyrant ;) sifting through the rubble of your crashing market figured out how to sell back every worthless little piece of trash she's a fiber-optic hydra wire system and she's leaving you out, disconnected figure out how to take back every word you used when you were smashed and i'll suffer silently because you don't believe me when i'm shaking and nervous suffer silently and break for the door the second that i get a fucking chance

BOXING DAY 03:52
i've got the shit in my backpack and we feel unsafe lights riding bicycles invading our dark space in visions, we're eye to eye and both focused so well i think it's you, collapsing in my arms, you melt meet me in the backyard you still love a ghost and we still smell the cigarettes she smokes on cool wind when i look up to your moon and i pull you down to rust if you let me know you too well, i could fucking hurt you so bad staring down at grass and broken glass, what a useless view you're not from where i'm from but i know you you're so soft on me, now still so small to me, i can't believe smoking on the back porch inadequate, all too aware you breathe it in like sulfur it tastes like shit and i look to your moon you're always changing size and when you are weak, i cry if you let me know you too well, i could fucking hurt you so bad come out from underneath you are terrified and too alive and i can see your teeth straight through your lips your skin is drawn so thin and i will fucking hurt you, as soon as i can see your moon

GROUND FLOOR 05:48
we were stuck under a storm on your roof, caving in into your home, when you left me in the elevator to crash into your ground floor on my own i woke up to the sunshine burning holes into my skin clean away the sin from all the darkness i let in your rail gun in the sky, that is my god i remain on the surface, full of bullets i heard you say, "heaven in a place and you can go" i looked up from the endless mass i was alone i phased beneath the surface into darkness and the darkness turned to stone there's always a cage heaven is a place and you can go i woke up to your eyes, two pillars straight through my skull when you make the call, i eclipse and withdraw your rail gun in the sky, my constant cursed satellite so, lovely, am i your cancer? i saw my wholesomeness returned from the viscera in the depths of a tidal wave but i couldn't hear your voice, i could only see your face and, for me, that changes everything what was going on? i could only see your face, i couldn't hear your voice and, for me, that changes everything you said you'd call when you got home late i waited for hours, didn't hear a thing you said you'd call when you got home late the last thing i wanted was to be awake

CT 03:55
how can you say you don't remember how it felt? warm between your legs like tiny candle flames you taste like november it's the same dirt in our veins i wanna see you in the face of my pain beautiful, unchemical i will tattoo flower petals from my ankles to my collarbones and hope you see them soon if and when you ct i get sick and cold and dry and start to crack all over oh, my god, i shake like you shook but we forgot how it felt good i watched you run from the face of my pain so confused, unnatural i will tattoo flower petals from my ankles to my collarbones and hope you see them soon hope that you are able to get me to drop that petty shit decide i'll take it how you give it and ct and i will wait for hours sleep through days i'll wait for you i'll sleep through everything i guess it's worth it to me
7.
WALK HOME 03:02
this is us on your front porch the whole place smells like cigars and you are significantly less interesting than any given passing car i'm sorry for the shit i put you through like, i know that it hurts and that it will only get worse but let's stop think about ourselves for a second picture our bodies apart from this, away from this, beyond this i know it's bull shit, but it feels good and i will not deny myself something that i think i so wholly deserve meet me on the curb when you know what you're worth the spot where i fell asleep in my head i hated you back then and i hated myself and i needed my friends they know the way i can't sleep unless i'm alone but you're always touching and pushing and pulling ice out come apart from this, away from this, beyond this work hard to evaluate our bodies, our options, and our environment
8.
GAS GIANTS 04:16
karmic poison, as bitter as ever, in my mouth we shake in cycles each time, we come a little more toward the breakout why is power given but not to me? if i were as big as god, i'd murder the sky and rob the sea i'm calm and i'm quiet so you won't believe that i shake when i hold shit it's so hard to focus i do believe that there is a moon buried inside the sun cool it, you're baby all carbon, all diamond i bleed when i hold still your matter is too real i do believe that there is a moon buried inside the sun giants, made of gas and titanium, are crawling to surface, to see this their anguish incarnate i do believe that there is a moon buried inside the sun when i was barred out, i saw the grim reaper and he said, "don't go deeper" how could i not, when, today, the ground shook?
9.
WATER 03:33
we made it ourselves, we spoke with our whole bodies sitting with you, with everything we did just stay on with me i've known your love, in all of its power but how did the sins of your grandfather become our subconscious? centipedes enter underneath your skin through track marks left you too sick stale ghost inside the air conditioner a dandelion trapped in motion yet, all this time, you've been a tower don't treat it like it's a vacation this could be the realest place you ever go don't treat it like you're on vacation this shit could get you lower than the floor so fall down to the goliaths of wickedness and i will love the part of you i know or surround yourself and drown yourself in holiness and breathe in the water capricorn eyes watch from the wrong side "you think it'd feel better to throw up?" i don't know if or when or where you'll enter but enter only with no intention of exiting it's too sick
10.
the seasons change, and it brings me under spring-time light muting winter colors i'll write my name out on a thousand brown leaves and let the wind take a thousand parts of me wind's picking up and it throws me around baseball noises drowning tiny winter sounds there are no boundaries, now my blood is caseless we're losing our autonomy, stuck in these small spaces oh, how close we must be now to the culmination centuries of indecency and lovelessness iron arms from underneath approach the surface the ground is shaking at our feet what the fuck do we do? we will host the parasites and break ourselves down leaving ego in the dirt somehow, moving heavenward i want that comfort from your voice it is not the right sound oh, my god, i can't believe we put such beautiful things underground but dust in your hair is falling down to your cheekbones and dust on your fingertips stuck to my teeth and to my tongue we're so far gone safe on your fire skin, my fingertips trace rivers of crimson blood from your neck down your arms safe where we are, for now i'm safe in my skin, right now safe on your ice cold skin, my fingertips trace rivers of bold blue blood to your heart from your veins safe where we are, for now i feel safe in my skin, right now safe on your shaking skin, my fingertips make letters of honesty all down your body safe where we are, for now i feel safe in my skin, right now safe at each other's sides, my fingertips make terrible, loose braids in incredible hair safe where we are, for now i feel safe in my skin, right now but when you come down, will it be okay? will it still feel like the sound of your name? and if i come up, will we be the same? i could lose you inside of my brain.
