Emptiness
03:45
|
|||
|
it doesn't feel right it doesn't feel wrong
the emptiness can't be a warm home
when there’s no time to heal the mind
hard to recall who you once were
way too distant from the answer
so confined non defined
walking with empty hands
pleading my ignorance
this is not a place for me
where everybody’s an enemy
always trying to run away
i can't find a hideaway
flash of the days that weren't hollow
when we never thought about tomorrow
can’t see no spark in your eyes
inner side is only shrinking
hogtied, always overthinking
only void i can't avoid

deserted and lonely
they want to be seen
craving just to live up to their mayfair fantasy
i learned how deep can nails dig into the wall
wondering if their costume fits more than the one before
passion is fashion yeah, what a sarcasm
multitudes deceived by a faked orgasm
and you're a passerby right there on your face
just a low number oh, what a poor disgrace
there's no need for fear
none of this comes near me
yes, i heard your tone
not deafening at all
broken, glitter, cheap thrills
head is in the heat
this what they love so give them what they need
15 seconds only
who cares to see more
wondering if this costume fits more than the one before

You Don't Hold Me Down
03:00
|
|||
|
don’t wanna know
don’t wanna know
what you think of me
your words come by
only come by
all they ever be
i’m a shoe sole grime
i’m a shoe sole grime
to your staring eye
play to rhythm of their blow
play it or they wave goodbye
you don’t
you don’t
hold me down
masters of their universe
small universe
all so alike
hungry for white sand
hungry for white sand
on knees for that strike
and the cult of blank
and the cult of blank
full on what you say
only burned themselves
only burned themselves
not a heyday

You Said
03:18
|

|
by getting us out of your head we’d never be free
silence will get louder it would leave us on a scree
paralyzed we would fall down and slowly merge with ground
so, don’t forecast anything that cannot come around
but i know that some words are way hard to say
and longer the quiet the bigger price i pay
every word i say proves what a mess i really am
left you standing still and went in to the blue again
taking everything for granted think the string won’t ever break
acting like it’s been all handed more i have the more i take

Sermon
03:09
|

|
took your color since the day
you were told we’re all the same
best way to set your mind free?
drop on knees and count to three
and we can talk about the things and how they’re probable
and we can talk about that who is and was rational
and why you kneel down only when there’s someone that can see?
oh, i see see see
if you are now reborn or just going through a phase
don’t judge in the name of god you never took her place
one that calls you up was abandoned for days
then why fear where you will land and where you end your trace
repel fire crafts that might kill
getting high on holy will
12 armed angels don’t save skin
it’s you that thinks he knows sin
then do fear where you will land and where will end all
SAINTS

Out of Lights
04:32
|
|||
|
slobbing around
shifting between lights
side by side we lost so many fights
high to death and dancing with the ghosts
parasites have found their brand-new hosts
lunatic in the dead of night
always hungry for another sight
if i turn around and let you go
none of us would stand still on their own
once a mother
even father
when will we all retire ?
pull it over
stand from under
don’t have poison you require
why do you lie to your friend?
come straight with your true desire

Narrow Minds
02:52
|
|||
|
i know that you are sometimes angry just because
i know that you need a place where your frustration goes
you point them fingers, yet you don’t know who you are
by proudly pushing pain you won’t ever get far
all the worlds will once collide
even those so hard to side
spare your fists open your room
fill it up with love not gloom
so sad so sad you want to
so sad so sad so you need to
your false freedom in rotten ideology
is the same old only new terminology
the only war you’re in is up there in your head
filled with divine teachings that god never said

Common Grey
04:29
|
|||
|
i’m lost in echo of yesterday
rings like cannon shot to my face
all i see unnecessary
all i feel is temporary
drunk from cheap nostalgy
scrutinize ontology
whatever was once clear vision
is a pile of indecision
every night leaves me cold
days only passing by
i can’t find deliverance in any thought
almost all are useless, only blind shots
dilettante guidance, be thrown out to mud
i am dropping brain dead with a loud thud
the clock nervously ticking
time‘s there
but will is missing
i’m not answering no question
nor reasoning any action
i know i’m getting old
days only passing by

Matchless Seal
03:19
|
|||
|
you’re there
aware
substance to sort things out
we were on hold
but more like in and out
don’t dare still there
carry me from the drought
rolled eyes
humdrum
dimmed down in fainting light
i want someone to backbone me
someone that would bring the feel
i want someone to rivet me
you’re the only matchless seal
8 days
gone straight
big game, long out of sight
please don’t let know
we better keep things quiet
no air, cold stare
easily out of mind
compute
how many times the inside went out
|

Your Way
03:15
|
|||
|
if you want it that way
you'll have it your way
and if it is the wrong way
you'll have it your way
and if it doesn't bother you
then it's completely ok
if it doesn't bother you
daybreaks and no sleep
remarks? you can leave
it’s the eyes that bleed
fed up from your need
coming down from highway
with a tad of blind faith
this is only rural air
you get what you’re paying for
can you just believe it all?
to move i don’t need guillotine
can you just believe it all?

as i peer further behind my shoulder
i am less of what i want
didn’t fulfill any promise
what do i want?
brain heavy nothing
in debt to something i don’t understand
stuck in sand
no stance to defend
it murders me slow go
before they lay my body to sleep
i yell my mantras on repeat
those that can bring down every wall
tenderness heals not total war
it’s so easy to just pass through
why i go around?
when you trip over you’re only lucky to touch the ground
you break the mirror to see clearer but still in doubt
stuck in sand
no stance to defend
it kills you slow go

Small Town Life Šaľa, Slovakia
filthy
Small Town Life are a rowdy garage rock band from Slovakia whose music combines bleak heaviness of
90’s guitar rock and naive melodic accessibility of 60’s. They complement their pounding guitar noise with raw vocals delivered with equally dirty and hooky urgency. Their debut album „Common Grey'' released in January 2021 marked a shift to darker sound.
