Guilt

Lyrics:
"This guilt is killing me, it is far worse than being wronged,
I'm sick to my stomach, I'm tired and I'm not strong,
I need to escape, but where shall I go,
I can't run from myself, this weight makes me too slow.
With elegance and with grace
worry rests her hands on my shoulder.
An old friend, a familiar face,
her hold was never closer.
Am I a monster?
Do I belong under this earth?
How can I look in the mirror?
What can I be worth?
I moan about my broken heart when you are collapsing,
You are rotting alive and I tell you I am hurting,
I demand that you indulge me, when I want indulging,
but I have not the strength to give you life when you need saving.
Your words are the difference between peace and war,
you stand one side of a swinging door,
your heart is rich and mine is poor,
just hold me here and we will move no more,
in this spot you are mine and I am yours,
of this place is all that I'm assured.
I'm sitting here alone, scared of the creaks from the floorboards.
This quietness drills a hole, it bursts my eardrums and tortures.
I wish I could turn back time,
I could live without just this one mistake,
My bones can't support this much fear,
And I am going to break.
Doubt masks every word I hear, I can't see
smiles or tears, monsters hide
behind every glance,
demons jump out at every chance."

Lyrics:
"My cushioned world,
has no wooden floors, paranoia
infects my thoughts, and
corrupts my tongue,
uncertainty is a blind man on a tightrope.
What do you say, when your loved one is crumbling? We got
carried away, we flew mighty high with candlewax wings, and
out of the fray, heavy thuds and droplets tumbling,
oh how I've wasted myself on the little things.
I've suffered, nothing, it's not me that has been ravaged by fiends,
it puts me to shame how i've been complaining,
when ghosts of the past do not haunt my dreams,
so forgive my sins, I am not the one who should need to lean,
oh how I've wasted myself on the little things.
Doubt masks every word I hear, I can't see
smiles or tears, monsters hide
behind every glance,
demons jump out at every chance."

Midnight Magpie Berlin, Germany
More than your usual set up. Unprotected sax, smooth clarinet, and jazz piano float over grooving bass lines and unexpected rhythms. They fuse this with electronic sounds, melancholic vocals, and guitar that ranges from acoustic finger-picking to screaming electric solos, in an experimental mixture of styles. These elements blend to create a new deviant genre of music ... more
