Open Kitchen Windows

[Verse]

My whole life I wanted her to see me,
searched glass and faces for that foreign light.
I chased the echo of her reflected mercy,
found mirrors empty, shadows in the night.

[Pre-Chorus]
Her eyes became a judge that never softened,
a list of charges folded in my name.
I learned to fold my hands, to hold my breath,
to wait for mercy that never came

[Chorus]

But I found my witness in the quiet—
a steady warmth that didn’t need to prove.
Her gaze condemned; my heart relieved me,
I learned my worth by staying still and true.
Love showed itself when I let go,
in the small surrender something whole was born:
the only verdict that could free me
was the one I gave myself at dawn.

[Verse]

I looked for signs on faces in the window,
traced maps of favor on a stranger’s skin.
Every nod was hollow, every smile borrowed,
every promise sold to anyone who’d grin.

[Pre-Chorus]

They taught me to perform for outer lighting,
to trade my center for a curtain’s cheer.
But silence taught a different kind of wisdom—
that being still would bring what I could not hear.

[Chorus]

And I found my witness in the quiet—
a steady warmth that didn’t need to prove.
Her gaze condemned; my heart relieved me,
I learned my worth by staying still and true.
Love showed itself when I let go,
in the small surrender something whole was born:
the only verdict that could free me
was the one I gave myself at dawn.

[Bridge INSTRUMENTAL)

Now I keep my witness in the quiet—
a light that anchors when storms remove.
Her gaze once judged, but now it’s distant,
I carry home inside the proof.


[Outro]
Stay still. Look in. Let the gaze within reply—
and find, at last, the calm of being justified.

[Pre-Chorus]

They taught me to perform for outer lighting,
to trade my center for a curtain’s cheer.
But silence taught a different kind of wisdom—
that being still would bring what I could not hear.

[Chorus]

And I found my witness in the quiet—
a steady warmth that didn’t need to prove.
Her gaze condemned; my heart relieved me,
I learned my worth by staying still and true.
Love showed itself when I let go,
in the small surrender something whole was born:
the only verdict that could free me
was the one I gave myself at dawn.

Love shows itself when I let go.

Liberation Free

Blind Date

[Verse]
The dawn it arrives, a gentle surprise
As the sun paints the sky in blues
And a sweet little bird starts to sing
A melody, only for you

[Prechorus]
Oh, listen close now
To the song in the trees

[Chorus]
Tweet, tweet, tweet, that’s my heart’s refrain
Chirp, chirp, chirp, calling out your name
Coo coo ca choo, I love you, it’s true
In bird song, my darling, just for you

[Verse 2]
The robin he warbles, a romantic soul
While the sparrow just dances along
And the owl gives a hoot, from his old leafy tree
Singing "Love, is a powerful song!"

[Prechorus]
Yes, listen close now
To the song in the trees

[Chorus]
Tweet, tweet, tweet, that’s my heart’s refrain
Chirp, chirp, chirp, calling out your name
Coo coo ca choo, I love you, it’s true
In bird song, my darling, just for you

Bird Song Ballad

[Verse]
Swagger in my step
Danger in the air
Eyes on the shadows
But I don’t care
The night’s got teeth
Sharp and wild
I walk like a king
Reckless and styled

[Chorus]
Keep having swagger
In spite of the dagger
Laugh in the face of fear
It doesn’t matter
Swagger
Oh swagger
Let it shatter
Every blade that tries to make me scatter

[Verse 2]
Streetlights flicker
Like they’re in on the game
The wind whispers threats
But it sounds the same
Courage in my veins
Fire in my stride
Every step I take
I’m alive
Alive

[Bridge]
Oh the dagger swings
But I dodge
I weave
I’m a ghost in the dark
Hard to believe
Swagger’s my shield
Style’s my sword
Every cut they aim just gets ignored

[Chorus]
Keep having swagger
In spite of the dagger
Laugh in the face of fear
It doesn’t matter
Swagger
Oh swagger
Let it shatter
Every blade that tries to make me scatter

[Outro]
So bring your shadows
Your daggers
Your fight
I’ll keep on shining
Burning so bright
Swagger in the shadows
Daring the night
This is my rhythm
This is my right

Swagger in the Shadows

Written by Quint (1984) reProduced by Bastian Busk

[Verse 1]
The sky it is gray
But no one seems to mind
Is it clouds that hide it
Or the smoke we left behind
What have we now lost?
It was nature put away
Behind the cities and the chimneys that eat up it each day

[Chorus]
Now easy the planet it surely still spins 
cause oh oh we're breathing
Yes we're breathing in 
relax now see the sun 
it stays where it will stay 
cause oh oh we're breathing
Yes we're breathing anyway
Yes we're breathing anyway

[Verse 2]
Away disappear but the sun will rise and fall
No matter what we're thinking
We will get the call
Listen to the bird its song is something rare
Maybe it sings of future times
Not much left to spare

[Chorus]
Now easy the planet it surely still spins 
cause oh oh we're breathing
Yes we're breathing in 
relax now see the sun it stays
where it will stay 
cause oh oh we're breathing
Yes we're breathing anyway

[Bridge]
What is it we suffer
Eating when the spirit's gone
So take the load along
Catch a fish and clip the silver swan

[Verse 3]
Listen to the bird its song is something rare
Maybe it sings of future times
Not much left to spare

[Chorus]
Now easy the planet 
it surely still spins 
cause oh oh we're breathing
Yes we're breathing in 
relax now see the sun
 it stays where it will stay 
cause oh oh we're breathing
Yes we're breathing anyway
Now easy the planet it surely still spins
 cause oh oh we're breathing
Yes we're breathing in 
relax now see the sun 
it stays where it will stay 
cause oh oh we're breathing
Yes we're breathing anyway
Yes we're breathing anyway

The Planet

[Verse 1]
Der stod en ko i elevatorens skær
Med skæve ankler og smør mellem sine tæer
Den ville blot dele en bolle med en ven
Men døren sagde nej, nej, nej
Og så blev den lukket ud igen

[Verse 2]
I marken derude hvor vinden er gul
Står møbler af smør og et flag uden skjul
En mand råber højt at hans stol er for blød
Og verden griner tilbage
Han var da sød

[Chorus]
Så kom der en vente  kat
Vand til at vente
Den ser på et hjul på en forvandsket bus og hed ganske enkelt bente
(Yeah, yeah)
Den sagde jeg gider ikke lave mere med magarine
For det er så svært når jeg vil mega grine
Men nu er det snart alligevel slut
Fordi tidsfornemmelsen havde eller har måske engang i noget der kunne tyde på at være noget der kunne vise sig at være sandt
Måske engang sat sig på en prut

[Chorus]
Det er vrøvlens lov
Det er bare for sjov for den siger at alt der giver mening er latterlig
Og det eneste sandt er det som ikke er sandt
Forsvandt i et engang
Hov nu er jeg færdig
Hvad skal du sige
Nu har du da vrøvlet totalt
Det er jo meningen Bodil banalt
Vrøvlens lov
Det er bare for sjov for den siger at alt der giver mening er latterlig
Og det eneste sandt er det som ikke er sandt
Forsvandt i et engang
Hov nu er jeg færdig
Hvad skal du sige
Nu har du da prøvlet totalt
Uden lige
Ja, jo meningen Bodil banalt

[Chorus]
Så kom der en vente kat
Vant til at vente
Den ser på et hjul på en forvansket busser og hed ganske enkelt bente

Vrøvlens Love

Out Run Overdrive

Rust Symphony

Supercow

[Verse]
City lights so cold
Everyone got a story untold
Lost in the echoes of the night
Searching for a reason for the fight

[Prechorus]
Oh I feel it now
This electricity somehow

[Chorus]
Heartbeat City
Never sleeps no
Heartbeat City
Where do we go
Heartbeat City
I feel alive I know

[Verse 2]
Walking down these crowded streets
Everyone I meet
Is just tryna find their way
Hoping for a brighter day

[Prechorus]
Oh I feel it now
This electricity somehow

[Chorus]
Heartbeat City
Never sleeps no
Heartbeat City
Where do we go
Heartbeat City
I feel alive I know

Heartbeat City

Verse]
Cracked the code on my machine
It don't do much I see
But blink a little green
A little green for me

[Prechorus]
So what's the use
I gotta know the use

[Chorus]
Of a rain check
When the sun is always out
Of a rain check
When the sun is always out

[Verse 2]
I called you on the telephone
But you were not at home
Just static on the microphone
Another one alone

[Prechorus]
So what's the use
I gotta know the use

[Chorus]
Of a rain check
When the sun is always out
Of a rain check
When the sun is always out

Rain Check

[Verse]
Cracks in the sidewalk
Like lines on my hand
Tell me my future
I don't understand

[Prechorus]
I don't understand it
But I believe it

[Chorus]
Sidewalk cracks and broken backs
Lead me home
Sidewalk cracks and broken backs
I'm not alone

[Verse 2]
Streetlights are humming
A lonely old tune
Where are you going
Under the moon

[Prechorus]
Under the moon tonight
Everything feels right

[Chorus]
Sidewalk cracks and broken backs
Lead me home
Sidewalk cracks and broken backs
I'm not alone

Sidewalk Cracks

Through Seasons I Fall For You

[Verse]
Everythin' keeps spinnin'
Everyone's winnin' except the ones grinnin', except the ones grindin'
Except the ones dwindlin', the shrinkin' of my thinkin'
'Cause of your sunk cost, 'cause of your sunk cost

[Chorus]
Yeah, I know that it's you and I, it ain't them
I ain't trippin', I ain't trippin'
This is the theme song to my lament
Yeah, I ain't trippin', I ain't trippin'
I know that it's you and I, it ain't them
I ain't trippin', I ain't trippin'
This is the theme song to my lament
I ain't trippin', I ain't trippin'

[Verse 2]
What a life that we're livin'
Once in a lifetime, oh, we have this privilege
All these decisions
Some, they go up, and some, they go down
Some go around, around and around
Some of them flippin', some of them trippin'
And some of them drown, drown, drown, drown
Yeah, it's one in a million
And every single one has its place and position
You can stay if you willin'
The spin cycle's just the cycle of life
That's how we do it, ain't doin' it twice
I know the cost, it's the cost of the life
I paid the cost, it's the cost of the life
This is the cost, it's the cost of the life
'Cause of your sunk cost, 'cause of your sunk cost

[Chorus]
Yeah, I know that it's you and I, it ain't them
I ain't trippin', I ain't trippin'
This is the theme song to my lament
I ain't trippin', I ain't trippin'
I know that it's you and I, it ain't them
I ain't trippin', I ain't trippin'
This is the theme song to my lament
I ain't trippin', I ain't trippin'
I know that it's you and I, it ain't them
I ain't trippin', I ain't trippin'
This is the theme song to my lament
I ain't trippin', I ain't trippin'
I know that it's you and I, it ain't

Losing for Sunk Cost

[Verse 1]
I was shaken, head still soft,
trying to hold my world aloft.
They were crying, I was new,
staring back, just passing through.
Didn’t know the rules of sound,
didn’t know I’d just been found.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every move, a test of view,
to see if I’d become like you.
[Chorus]
You are not you,
you are the body you’re projected into.
You are not you,
I don't believe a single thing about you
[Verse 2]
She’d slap me when I mirrored her,
slap me when my thoughts occurred.
Hissed when I dared to speak,
a spell to keep the dreamer weak.
Stripes became my autograph,
pressed in flesh, recorded tracks.
[Pre-Chorus]
Camera lights, the take begins,
performance born from borrowed skin.
Every night before I sleep I remind myself....
[Chorus]
You are not you,
you are the body you’re projected into.
You are not you,
I don't believe a single thing about you

You are not you,
you are the body you’re projected into.
You are not you,
I don't believe a single thing about you

[Bridge]
Little me, little me,
just wanted to leave,
to eat fries, to breathe,
but the stage wouldn’t let me leave.
Money on the lot,
my silence bought,
but truth remembers every shot.
[Outro]
Now the mirror looks through,
the lens blinks too,
and I whisper the line they never knew:
[Chorus]
You are not you,
you are the body you’re projected into.
You are not you,
I don't believe a single thing about you

Yo the bass is jumpin
Feel that bass drop
Feel it in your soul yo
Hear that music thumpin

[Prechorus]
Gonna take you higher
Take you to the sky
Feel that burning fire

[Chorus]
Base out the house
The base the base the base of house
the base of base is out the house

[Verse 2]
Feel that bass go boom
It shakes the floor
Open up the door
And let the bass consume

[Bridge]
Turn it up
Turn it up now
We dont give a uh
We dont give a what

[Chorus]
Base out the house
The base the base the base of house
the base of base is out the house
the base the base the base of house

[Verse]
I feel a jitter in my bones
A chillness in my tones
But deep inside the bottom of the universe
I've always known
A jitter in my bones
A chillness in my tones
But deep inside the bottom of the universe
I've always known

[Prechorus]
It's like I fell in love with you again
It's like I fell in love with you again

[Chorus]
I'm gonna scream at the top of my lungs
I'm gonna lose all control of my tongue
I'm gonna lose all control of my tongue
I'm gonna lose all control of my tongue
I'm gonna lose all control of my tongue

[Verse 2]
I'm a lover and a writer and a whore
But I want you so much more
If I was just a person you could still love me
Would you close the door
I'm a lover and a writer and a whore
But I want you so much more
If I was just a person you could still love me
Would you close the door

[Prechorus]
It's like I fell in love with you again
It's like I fell in love with you again

[Chorus]
I'm gonna scream at the top of my lungs
I'm gonna lose all control of my tongue
I'm gonna lose all control of my tongue
I'm gonna lose all control of my tongue
I'm gonna lose all control of my tongue

I've Always Known

[Verse]
If you were gonna die
I'd bring you flowers
And sit there for hours
I would cry

[Verse 2]
If I were gonna die
I hope you'd do the same for me
Don't know what I'd do without you
But I'm sure that I'd be

[Chorus]
Bitter and broken
Just a little disappointed
C'est la vie
I would still remember you
Baked in honey

[Verse]
If I were gonna die
Would you bring me flowers
And sit there for hours
Would you cry?

[Verse 2]
If you were gonna die
I would do the same for you
Don't know what you'd do without me
But I'm sure that you'd be

[Chorus]
Bitter and broken
Just a little disappointed
C'est la vie
I would still remember you
Baked in honey
Bitter and broken
Just a little disappointed
C'est la vie
I would still remember you
Baked in honey

Tranquil Movements

Naiveté Busking

Written by Quint (1984) reProduced by Bastian Busk
[Verse 1]
Are you so elfin' damn sure
that other's can't take care of themselves?
Wonder if anyone would ever notice?
if you onen day maybe hanged yourself?
Do you believe that those who know you now
walk around feeling bad about what they did
Do you think they'd ever admit
that it was shitty of them?
Forget everything you think friends are
Stop your belief  that you depend on them
stop the self talk that they will miss you
When you arrive they just want to go home
Do you believe that money help anything
Do you think fancy clothes will make you famous
Do you believe they will ever understand
that is them who have misjudged?

[Chorus]
Yes, this is life
And there's nothing left for you
Yes, this is life
See they stumble along
Yes, this is life
And there's nothing left for you
Yes, this is life
See they stumble along

[Verse 2]
Even though circumstances demand
They will always think they have enough with themselves
Even though fear fills them too
They show that they can manage on their own
Are you so damn sure
That the others can't take care of themselves
Do you think the others will notice that
if you one day perhaps hanged yourself

[Chorus]
Yes, this is life
And there's nothing left for you
Yes, this is life
See they stumble along
Yes, this is life
And there's nothing left for you
Yes, this is life
See they stumble along

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Yes, this is life
And there's nothing left for you
Yes, this is life
See they stumble along
Yes, this is life
And there's nothing left for you
Yes, this is life
See they stumble along

This Is Life

Fictional National Anthem

[Verse]
Blurred glass shards in my eyes
Cracked mirror pies all over the skies
I see what I see but it ain’t what it is
Twisted up patterns,, moire shatter
Twisted up lives, dark clouds whiz 

[Prechorus]
Each lens a new wound
Each wound a new view
a view to in
visible within

[Chorus]
Layers of distortion
Stacked up high
Layers of distortion
Can’t see the why
I grow to be what I see
I am what I believe, what  I see
I will be, what I see


[Verse 2]
Fogged up windows to my mind, always something else
Smudged fingerprints left behind, I wonder what else
Who am I if I can’t rewind, never was to begin
What I see shapes me blind, always will un-win 

[Prechorus]
Every cut a reflection, but deeper recollection
Every reflection a direction, but not without hesitation

[Chorus]
Layers of distortion, always will be there
Stacked up high
Layers of distortion, always will be there
Can’t see the why
I grow to be what I see
I am what I believe I see

Layers of Distortion

[Verse]
He slinks to the stage like a wobbly goat
Slop slappity slappin' on that bass he wrote
His fingers like noodles they dance and they fly
It's a bass-line buffet and I can't deny

[Chorus]
Slop slappity dat bass man
Groovin' like a fish in a frying pan
Boom bapity bop with a funky plan
Slop slappity dat bass man

[Verse 2]
He's got one sock up and one sock down
Spinning his strings like a DJ in town
His rhythm's absurd but it sticks to your brain
Like gum on your shoe in the pouring rain

[Prechorus]
He’s a wizard of the wobble
A sorcerer of slap
You try to walk away
But you’re stuck in his trap

[Chorus]
Slop slappity dat bass man
Groovin' like a fish in a frying pan
Boom bapity bop with a funky plan
Slop slappity dat bass man

[Bridge]
Now the bass goes low like a submarine dive
Then it bounces up high like bees in a hive
He’s the king of the strings the jester of funk
With a slap and a pop that'll rattle your trunk

Slop Slappity Dat Bass Man

[Verse]
If you can't feel your heel
You don't know how to feel
Walking on air ain't fair

[Chorus]
Wherever you roam
You're about to atone
Never alone
Always alone
Wherever you roam

[Verse 2]
The streets hum low they glow
Shadows twist as they grow
You step but leave no sound

[Chorus]
Wherever you roam
You're about to atone
Never alone
Always alone
Wherever you roam

[Bridge]
Maps dissolve like sugar in rain
Your compass spins it won't explain
A riddle
A rhythm
A quiet refrain

[Chorus]
Wherever you roam
You're about to atone
Never alone
Always alone
Wherever you roam

Wherever You Roam
