I could be anything but for the faults that I've acquired on my way. ↗

We are the cause of a world that's gone wrong. Nature will survive us, we've been wrong after all. We are the cause of a world that's gone wrong. Wouldn't it be great to heal the world with only a song? (Sky is Over) ↗

NAD MALOMĚSTSKOU KAŠNOU Vodo, vodo, vodičko, Ty nejsi ty, ty nejsi ty, Nepostojíš maličko – Tyrlityty – tyrlityty – Nemáš stání mi naslouchat, Tečeš, tečeš neustále, Dál a dále, co nejdále, Kovové tě roury ženou, Studna jen tě vyšplouchat Na vyhřátý starý rynk Hlinozvonnou, vychlazenou – Oblou, starý, nový čas Oblékáš obraz přes obraz, Prahnoucí mé žízně čumus, hladinou svou barvoměnnou (hladinou svou tvaroměnnou) měniíš každou vteřinou, přes okraj se kapky přeřinou – konkylandr – konkylandr – hlasu plna’s, plan šumu’s: „Jdi na vandr! Jdi na vandr!“ Z tebe bych pil tak rád! Kdybys přestala protékat, Ztepláš a skalíš se nastokrát, Samá lenost budeš, smrad, Co ti po tom, že mám tě rád – Cákycák – cákycát – Trvale chceš se rozlévat, Sebechvat jsi, sebechvat, Jsi poháněna i to, co pohání, A celek – toť čisté trvání. ↗

So if the ties that bind ever do come loose Tie them in a knot like a hangman's noose Cause I'll go to heaven or I'll go to hell Before I'll see you with someone else. ↗

For the life of me I cannot remember, what made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise. For the life of me I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins, we were merely freshmen. ↗

There's a time I can recall Four years old and three feet tall Trying to touch the stars and the cookie jar And both were out of reach ↗

If actions speak louder than words I’m the most deafening noise you’ve heard I’ll be that ringing in your ears That will stick around for years ↗

There is a place where the sidewalk ends And before the street begins, And there the grass grows soft and white, And there the sun burns crimson bright, And there the moon-bird rests from his flight To cool in the peppermint wind. Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black And the dark street winds and bends. Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And watch where the chalk-white arrows go To the place where the sidewalk ends. Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go, For the children, they mark, and the children, they know The place where the sidewalk ends. ↗

I thinks it really interesting how they throw the world music samples in there. I often wonder what it would be like to do something like that, but use my lyrics and my kind of style. ↗

There will always be some kid who's the new Kurt Cobain writing great lyrics and singing from his soul. The problem is they're not marketing that anymore or putting it out there. ↗
