1000 Yard Stare

Stripped of all good judgement
cracked and hollowed out
by the caleidoskopic horrors on the news
a tongue covered in fur
behind a disinfected smile
kept in place by a couple rusty screws
Yeah
I can see a vacuum in those eyes
looks drift into distance and just die
you got the 1000 yard stare
stuck with a 1000 yard stare
integrate, function and comply
premium entertainment
to advertise your needs
anything for the target audience
they keep feeding you sweetened promises
up to the point you choke
before frantically applauding your descent
...
ambition asphixiated by apathy
euphoria's just a memory
actions feel disgustingly mundane
and every now and then you catch your image in some broken glass
and for a split second your conscience's back
nothing more than a number on a pile of data waste
no wonder you never wanna wake up
to see the coffin you've put yourself in long ago

Perfect Thing

when we stray from common ground I always mind my step
but you don't notice your mistake until the landmine goes 'click'
now there's that black abysmal hole, eating at our hearts
you pour your tears inside, I tend to fill it with blood
everytime i feel like an animal caught on fire destroying a perfect thing
here we are sitting in our trenches digging up dirt again
and there's nothing I can do
and there's nothing you can do
yeah, there' nothing we can do
yeah there's nothing but pulling through
a single inconsidered word can blow up in your face
now watch that intimacy turn into grim distaste
and now there's venom in your speech
my defenses running thin
though my tolerance is pretty high
still some of it gets under my skin
---
Am I dramatic? Oh yeah
Are you a skeptic?
you got every right to be
Do I have issues? oh yeah
and so have you
and right now there is nothing we can do

She don't like her face the way it is
she turns into an evil clown grotesque
just saying...
that make-up won't make up for
all that character you miss
She don't like her mouth the way it is
She rather looks like some fucked up human fish
Just saying...
those issues won't be flushed out
by the poison in your lips
yeah, well, standard model no. 1
yeah, well, directly from the catalog
yeah, well, scalpel, clamp, piece of your mind
yeah, well, too bad, somehow they never ever get it right
she saves for a chest upgrade to double D
so she fits into her boyfriends's porn reality
just saying
those air baloons won't do much to lift your broken self-esteem
she used to be a natural beauty back in her day
now surgeons wage war on her natural decay
just saying
you either die a caricature or have some fucking dignity
What kind of sad people you hang out with
That you feel you gotta play along with this shit?
That you don't see what the fuck's wrong with this shit
How the fuck did we end up, end up like this?
lift it up, stitch it down, stretch it as it folds
modulate, reconstruct, liposuck your soul
swallow all your currency, beauty knows no price
sky the limit with a little help from Dr. Frankenstein
Plastic standard
you're so fucking artificial

CHERRYBEATS Switzerland
Risen from the ruins of a Nirvana tribute band in '05 CHERRYBEATS grew into a raging dirtrock-monster that spreads the creed of the band: DIRTY & LOUD. Along with the noise CHERRYBEATS delivers a show full of drunken frenzy being the equivalent of a black marker circling the madness of today’s existence - This just might be the last great adventure in a desert ground down by the mainstream winds. ... more
