Humana 05:44
A heavy fight about the best for their child The boy is watching from the stairs, he’ll cry the rest of the night A man cuts himself off, until his friends are gone Because he thinks of himself he don’t deserve anyone Humana Humana, humana, humana She’s stuck to the grave, can’t believe they’re gone Wanted to protect from the shots, her belief was strong They throw rocks through the air, fire taints the night It seems easy to forget; both think they’re right Humana Humana, humana, humana Look but don’t touch Touch, but don’t taste Taste, don’t swallow Laugh it up Es Humana Jump from one foot to the other

Parasites 03:53
Parasites waiting to enter your door Craving to take what's not nailed to the floor Vultures politely wait for your demise But parasites creep soon as a baby Opens its eyes Parasites! Parasites waiting to enter the brain Picking and nibbling on the thoughts that remain And pissing and shitting for their share of the stain Replace your tongue and inhabit your eyes Call for invasion and steer you with lies Poor little creatures won't make on their own And maybe they hope to find what is known You can feel it yourself from the hair to the bone Unfortunately They don't Parasites! Leeches that leave poisoned blood in your veins Shed their creations again and again Symbiotic natures are barely implied And blood as replaced will innately Never suffice Parasites!

Control 06:19
She got a beating when her breathing was too loud A day without a new wound would make her proud All we want and all we need is control She would abide all the sick things that went on But numbed her mind with drugs, conceding “Something’s wrong” All we want and all we need is security Most of us usually dream of control Bum badabada bum badabada bum badabada bum cha She finished high school when her baby saw the world Equipped with experience, she would teach her baby girl All we want and all we need is control That little thing kept being oh so loud So, she shook her to shut up, her daddy would be oh so proud All we want and all we need is security Most of us usually dream of control All we want and all we need is control

Ratio 03:32
Tom is an accountant at the age of 42 He lives with his family close to the avenue Still he needs an hour to his job, what can you do? Drinking keeps him happy, though his wife does not approve He doesn’t beat her, nothing, he just stares at the tv His wife gets screwed regularly; he just lets her be You could call him jaded, but every now and then Those pesky, darn emotions come, he wants to talk again As he looks for his mother, but she’s away He looks for his father, but he’s away He looks for his friends, but they are away He looks for his senses, but they are gone Tom is earning well, but doesn’t know what to spend it for His wife and kids have left him she said Tom, he is no more This shell now, that he left me, I can’t love, I won’t pretend He’s glad, ‘cause alimonies count to spending in the end “I might just see a shrink”, he thinks, “those doctors cost as well” And everyone says: “If I was you, I’d think, I am in hell” Doctor says: “Alienation is a problem quite severe” But Tom remembers what he found when he needed an ear As he looked for his mother, but she was away He looked for his father, but he was away He looked for his friends, but they were away He looked for his senses, but they were away He looks for his daughter, but she’s away He looks for his brother, but he’s away He looks for his friends, but they are away He looks for his senses, but they are gone Ten times the effort, nine times the fun

We’re getting close We’re getting close We’re getting closer Once, a lightning thought a tree was cold A creature thought: “That’s a sight to behold” And thus began the tale of sorrow I get it, but we’re getting close Someone was tired of chasing aurochs Thought of his neighbors and became euphoric Now animal tears are pouring I get it, but we’re getting close Let’s build the ultimate omniscient supreme machine Let’s travel far beyond the iris has ever seen If you try to contain me, I will hit your wrist and smack your bum ‘Cause what we are is just a glimpse of what we can become Peasants sure were keen on news Well, Gutenberg has the thing for you Now information’s more tried than true I get it, but we’re getting close The Wrights squinted at the sky “A-Wings are not that hard to come by!” Now, we can drop bombs anytime I get it, but we’re getting close Let’s build the ultimate omniscient supreme machine Let’s travel far beyond the iris has ever seen If you try to contain me, I will hit your wrist and smack your bum It’s only dignity we have to overcome Gadget Man Now I am Become death The destroyer of worlds We’re getting close We’re getting close We’re getting closer

about

Zooflirkus Berlin, Germany

The Berlin-based odd rock band Zooflirkus pondered at the beginning of 2020 about how to create music that you like, even though you don’t want to. Weird instruments paired with weird vocals about the wonderfully contradictory nature of humanity and its abysses are served on a blotted silver platter. Fun for the whole broken family! ... more
