Time to put your backpack on
Time to put your backpack on
You have to, you do
Let’s go
Fade out, while it’s raining at the dawn
Same road, but different than before
Much calmer than before
It feels like me… almost
My friend, I learned the meaning of shame
My friend, I learned you neither here, nor there
My friend, I learned the silence is much better
Than words, I’d never want to say
You’ll blame me anyway
You’ll blame me anyway
Time to put your backpack on
Time to put your backpack on
Tell me what you see, why so?
Wake up before the morning
Wake up before the dawn
Wake up before it’s howling
“Time to roam,
Time to roam”
Just deal with it: it’s time to go
Just deal with it, once more
Just deal with it: it’s time to go
Just deal with it, once more
My friend, I learned the meaning of shame
My friend, I learned you neither here, nor there
My friend, I learned the silence is much better
Than words, I’d never want to say
You’ll blame me anyway
You’ll blame me anyway
It’s time to go, It’s time to go,my dearest friend
It’s time to go, It’s time to go, no regrets
Anyway you go leads to the end
Anyway you go leads to the dead end

I got a new job, mom
I got my own room now
I got it furnished
With a lamp and ashtray
I got a shelf for nothing
I had it shared with no one
I finally got a cell
A cell for myself
I’ve thrown old boots away
Ten years they served me well
Today’s the day to turn the page
And spare some cash
For the same pair
One thousand miles between us
Listen honey
Listen tight
You’ll said, I’m lying piece of shit
I must admit, you got it right
I must admit,
It’s hard to find the pair that fit
I must admit,
New boots can make your ankles bleed
Indeed it’s hard to find a proper shoes
I’ve joined the local band
I do my best pretending young rock star
While getting drunk in bar
I got a broken heart, but liver is still alright
I would say my edge is narrow
Darling, we are bow and arrow
Bands prevent from getting drunk alone
I’m getting paid in alcohol
I’m playing rock and roll for nerds
A weak excuse why I’m not at home
One thousand miles between us
Listen honey
Listen tight
You said i got to give it up
I must admit, you got right

Cancers of the lung, throat, mouth, tongue, nose,

Beat of Marching

I got friend that I consider to be happy
But everyone around was going mad:
“There must be something wrong, they tell,
There must be something bad,
Her closet must be closest place to hell
And someone may feel guilty by considering the fact
There is closet, but no skeleton inside
And someone may feel guilty by considering the fact
If there’s in mine – it must be same around
It just can’t be that right
_
It’s not that long from here to Berlin:
More time to spend at check-in than in flight
We’ll step the land where people
Do know how to run their lives
But the problems that you can not see exactly where it starts
And someone may feel guilty by considering the fact
You’ll see no borders, if you look down from this height
And someone may feel guilty by considering the fact
Down there they fight for land you can not find
But you don’t really mind
The land you can not find
_
It’s not that right like on that picture
Though scale is always gray
It’s not that right like on that picture
Good days have passed away
They are nostalgic for the heat
Of pages turning into flames
They are nostalgic for the beat
Of marching
Sky is not blue enough
Eyes not blue enough

Don’t you think it all wrong?
I hear you complaints
Tell you just one thing:
You’re doing ok
You doubt, that i get you right
You doubt, that i hear what you say
You doubt, You doubt
Tell you anyway
Have you found yourself down in the gutter?
Has your name been crossed out and photos erased?
Have you found yourself at your friend's grave?
Have you been thrown out from everywhere?
Oh, i know your kind,
You cut your hands so everyone sees
Oh, i’m not being mean,
But between you and me
You’re not cutting that deep
Not cutting that deep
You just love how it feels
Not cutting that deep
Just love the thrill
I know you too well
You never will
Bit the beep goes on
The beep goes on
Slower than ever
Slower than ever
Slower than ever
It’s a matter of growing old
Empathy fades
It’s a matter of coloring world in blue
And hair in grey
It’s a matter of vitamin loss
They say
It’s a matter of sleep
It’s a matter of dark, shorter days
It’s a matter of space

Empathy Attack

Sometimes I forget
But I’ll say once again
I’m the last to complain
It’s 2016 in the middle of spring
And i found that i’m lucky
Both hands are with me
Taking a comfortable seat
Next two hours I’m falling asleep
World keeps spinning and spinning
And guess what i found?
It’s spinning not around me
I dreamed about drowning in sea
I dreamed and found myself under bridge
I dreamed about walking street
With no home indeed
With no hope indeed
Last to complain, but don’t ask me no more
How things up in Ukraine
Forecast is the same, it is raining, it’s cold
Though it’s May
Head in a mess, blood pressure and stress
You would say “boy, you could have cared less”
Passed the blood test: “mommy i’m clean”
World didn’t stop to spin
World didn’t stop to spin
I dreamed and found myself in the field
Barefoot and brown, planting seeds
I dream and see burning wheat
And no hope indeed
It’s alright, nevermind
Honey wish me luck
Tonight I’m wondering around
Supporting liquor stores and punk
Honey wish me luck
Tonight I got a little drunk
Expecting empathy attack
I dreamed about
Walking this world around
I dream about it since I was a child
I dreamed and found…
I forgot what it was about
