A Good Man

he never asked for help
no one gave him any
he always stood straight
like a man
a love for machineray
all things man-made
he understood their glory
and their flame
he never asked for help
yet he gave plenty
to people who dismissed him as a fool
cause no one likes a good man
no one likes someone
who gives just cause he can
give

The New Year

this city had so much to give
we only found its worthless things
fascist friends and nutcases
quiet ends and luck leaving
it is you who has done
all the things that have helped me to stay strong
my grandfather's timely death
a bunch of darts around my neck
so much trying so much done
so much given so little found
it is you who has done
all the things that have helped me to stay strong
a new year is all we ever wanted
new promises and fresh starts
a new year is all we ever needed
new promises and fresh starts

i have visited the darkest regions
backpacked and hiked all my way to the top
of the steepest mountains and the darkest jungles
now i have nothing, where has my youth gone?
oh was it worth it?
was it worth it?

they buried my grandmother on top of my grandad
he'll support her in death the way he did in his life
the weight of memories
two teddy bears
me and my brother's
and pictures
they buried my grandmother on top of my grandad
he'll support her in death the way he did in his life
the weight of memories
two teddy bears
me and my brother
and pictures
they buried my grandmother on top of my grandad
he'll support her in death the way he did in his life
the weight of memories
two teddy bears
me and my brother
and pictures
they buried my grandmother

you love her
she calls you dad
you love her
she calls you dad
you thought she would fill the holes in your heart with a million stars
you thought she would fill the holes in your heart with a million stars

all the games you made me try
in your bedroom at night
all the things you made me feel
teenagers not wanted home
cousins in their grandma's room
you and me cast away
being bad
you've been trouble
i've been waiting
Eliane, where have you been?
with what men? in which city?
Eliane, where have you been?
tell me why am i still aching
twenty years without a sign
twenty years of waiting
for a call, a letter, something
we both know it cannot be
you won't play these games with me
i'm stuck here waiting for nothing
you've been trouble
i've been waiting
Eliane, where have you been?
with what men? in which city?
Eliane, where have you been?
tell me why am i still aching

break this stick on my hips
bruise my bones with your fist
gash my skull, bruise my flesh
throw my body four floors below
please teach me to behave
i think i need a beatdown
you made of a woman
numb and devoted
to a million men
break her leg with a snap
watch her beg with a smile
she's my sister
she's my friend
we are 8
we are scared
please teach me to behave
i think i need a beatdown
you made of a woman
numb and devoted
to a million men

tell me why did you tell me that a man sucked your dick when you were 5
was it to show off or some plan to impress me?

moved i sure was by your confession
tell me why do i keep this secret as if it were one
who gives a shit?

Bombs

i heard you stumble through the door
the look in your face made me search for a cigarette
and i heard you say
yeah i heard you say
my heart's a bomb
ticking all wrong
my heart's a bomb
set it on
set it on
set it on
