Septic Skeptic

[lyrics]
The valley of toys is switched off; The city is gone to bed
I’m walking on roofs to find you, as I’m counting the smoky threads

I am everything you don’t need to know, I see your little things you can’t hide  
But I'm telling you I’m not evil, I'll always be by your side; I'll always be by your side

When Jesus walked the streets of Athens, it felt like giving birth
A thousand saints already took the front seat; and you cheered your guts loud to death

Not a single tiny miracle, every record was purged away
But do not waste your memory lane, girl; any scream of yours can be heard; 
it perfectly can be heard

I’ll satisfy your every need, more than any wonderboy can
I’ll drive you to the outermost galaxies; My simple see-what-your-missing plan 

When Jesus sang the blues in Athens my kingdom easily went out of sight
His sleep is timeless with hidden promise; his cross was painted blue and white

An iconic amorphous diamond, I hope your zing will finally turn to a blow
I’ll be waiting with my fingers crossed, girl, for the story of Spring told by Fall; 
Spring by the hands of Fall 

I could satisfy your every need, anything your mom and dad can't
Here is my precious gift, a gun and a pillow to lay your blown head

The valley of toys is switched off; The city is gone to bed
I’m following the clues to find you, inside a genius brain or a clown’s head

[I’m] reverse walking my path in time, to find your little things you couldn’t hide  
I feel smaller but I’m NOT evil, [I’m] only sung that way through GODLY skies
I’m just sung that way!
I could satisfy your every need, anything your mom and dad can't
I’ll drive you to the galaxies, my simple see-what-you-are-missing plan

I’ll drive you to the galaxies, anything your mom and dad can't
I‘ll satisfy your every need, more than any wonder boy can

When Jesus Walked The Streets of Athens

ONION ROCK (words and music Akis Boyatzis)

Know it-alls, surrounding
I know you all, and that’s bugging!
So meet me i'm an onion
Getting through but no probing

(It’s) So clear, that I’m in sorrow
A feeling truly borrowed
So meet me i'm an onion
It’s that part of my defense
I always enjoy

At the top I’m friendly 
Surely, underneath there is hating 
So meet me i'm an onion
And my soul is soaked with poison
And it’s no toy!

Really, when are true thoughts failing?
Guess exactly what I’m selling
Meet me i'm an onion
A new version [I’ll] always be telling 

I won’t show-off that I’m clever
Perhaps like that I was never
So meet me i'm an onion
To the dumbest layers of myself
You’ll never reach/stall

It’s those layers of deception
Onionskins that have no bottom 
So you don't know, so you don't know
