BLOWN

Lost my own
and chased that bone
wear that stone
became a drone

could you please get this done
It's done
would you might put this on
It's on
show us that you are the one
The one
sometimes life's a mess
but well I couldn't care less
cause well

one look and I'm blown
all agony gone
one grin and I'm blown
alive won't bemoan

I won't moan
nigh on drown
play the clown
feel so prone

do your taxes all day long
It's done
stand for hours in the throng
It's on
would you work all night long
night long
sometimes life's a mess
but well I couldn't care less
cause well

one look and I'm blown
all agony gone
one grin and I'm blown
alive won't bemoan

on my own
scars are sewn

apocalypse is in progress
I guess
Satan smilies in the abyss
a mess
this is the end
my friend
sometimes life's a mess
but well
I feel your a**
well I am sorry it's true

one look and I'm blown
all agony gone
one grin and I'm blown
alive won't bemoan

STONER SLASHER

Body bag
and the river's all black
better on the run
ya'know thats your lie

What's that
another haul sheaf
but I am down with the leaf
somke'n act deaf

back down
go with them

come for me
My random teen killer

Hey
can't the law be wrong
doomed at least with bong
bloody last hit

Blood bath
and the ripper's on path
better on the run
ya'now thats your life

What's that
another in need
but I hide with the weed
somke'n won't bleed

slow down
hide with them

come for me
My random teen killer

Hey
won't the law be wrong
died at least with bong
one bloody last hit

This song goes out to every random stereotype stoner dude in a slasher movie
There is no chance in hell for you to survive
So get your bongs cleaned and your spliffs rolled
and prepare yourself to die

Cush bag
and the ripper on track
better on the run
ya'now thats your lie

I'm ready
death by machete
down with the fatty
slice me like freddy

Hey
won't the law be wrong
died at least with bong
one bloody last hit

Excerpt:
"I watch an ending end
I watch the fall you sigh
I watch the fallen angel
reflected in your eyes

It won't go by
No we won't cry
cause your are here
we spill red wine
no we don't say good bye"

=== LYRICS ===

we walk past anyday
into the zone

like anyday
we two intone
so good

unfortunately it's Armageddon
won't build when our world survived
take my hand and feel alive

would silt in a heavens world
found you in a dying world
in the end we finally draw near

you and me
in a dying world
we share our final day

the horsemen roar
lay on the floor
and burn these barns
die in my arms
kiss me while the world dies
another sin nothing to shrive

close to death
finally feel each other

you and me
in a dying world
we f**k our pain away

I watch an ending end
I watch the fall you sigh
I watch the fallen angel
reflected in your eyes

It won't go by
No we won't cry
cause your are here
we spill red wine
no we don't say good bye

you won't need pills
just fell the bump
I won't care thills
while feel your rump
a day that kills
all life on earth
but I could't care less
so

take my hand
close your eyes don't bother

You and me
in a dying world
I never bid farewell

carpe diem
at entropy we smile

At Entropy We Smile

THE GAME (aka The Scatterheart blues)

A bird
in the hand
is worth
two in the bush

they say
to confuse
those in the bush
we choose

It's mad
I am morose
I'd like
won't let you get close

You're on top
of your game
hold back
fall in (pain)

hey
come close
stay away
I guess I know whereby

Hallo
goodbye
I maybe know standby

Birds scream
at the top
of their lungs
warn of the truth

It's blues
thanks Kurt
sadly
we don't speak bird

It's mad
You're morose
Would like
won't let me get close

Stay numb
like a glove
won't care
to fall in (love)

hey
come close
stay away
I guess I know whereby

Hallo
goodbye
I maybe know standby

hey
come close
stay away
I guess I know whereby

Hallo
goodbye
I maybe know standby

hey
come close
please stay
I suck at this anyway

we could
we may
Share this lonesome Halloween day
Share this lonesome Halloween day

Reason One

MalFaction with Fraenk Darko - Reason One

PLEASE NOTICE: I wrote this song seven years ago and recorded a demo version. Now I we can finally give you a full band version thanks to my friend and partner in crime Ed (@ConstrictedFreedom). Thanks so much dude! :-) And well, to make that clear: I am a philanthropist and from a humanistic point of view I try to see the good in people. On the other hand: Let's be honest. Sometimes it is so hard to stand the human narcissistic desire to show off. Behaviours of self-elevation, devaluation of others, invalidation, a lack of compassion and empathy, often antisocial or even sadistic conduct cause so much damage in fellow human beings. It's just sad and unfair. I can relate and that's what this song is about. It really is a weltschmerz or world-weariness problem for me. Seven years ago I wrote these lyrics in solidarity and compassion with those who were hurt by narcissistic human beings and I still feel that way and feel connected with the victims. "To all the dudes and dudettes out there that experienced devaluation by narcissistic dickheads. Being treated bad by bad people is always a sign of a good hit". You're not the problem, it's not your fault.

With this in mind: Love, peace and empathy,
Fraenk

Fraenk Darko & The Constricted Freedom - Show-Off

PLEASE NOTICE: Well to make that clear, I am a philanthropist and from a humanistic point of view I try to see the good in people. This song is absolutely not meant as an attempt to blame narcissistic people for being how they are, and especially we shouldn't forget that they are suffering from their behaviour too. And when we are honest, everyone of us shows narcissistic behavior to differing extents and in different situations, it's a normal human trait. On the other hand: Let's be hones. Sometimes it is so hard to stand this human narcissistic desire to show off. No matter if it's the behavior of others or our own behavior. So I a lot can relate and are all familiar with the frustrations it can create in every day life, and that's what this song is about. With this in mind: Love, peace and empathy, F.D.

BTW: distrotion sound comes form my beloved 90s ProCo Turbo Rat ... whohooo :-D

Lyrics: 

GERMAN

I
Du willst die Wärme willst das Licht
Hast keine Haut und kein Gesicht
Bist voller Schmerz doch fühlst es nicht
Dein Lebenmut hat kein Gewicht

Deine Pflicht spricht, bricht, hast keine Schicht 
Bist so kalt doch spürst es nicht

Fühlst dich klein und kannst nicht mehr
So allein alles fällt dir schwer

Bist so voll doch fühlst dich leer
Die Dunkelheit sie klebt wie Teer

II
Du willst die Größe willst die Macht
Gravitation hat dich gemacht
Bist voller Schmerz doch nie verflacht
Dein Monolog ist eine Schlacht

Deine Pracht lacht, macht, schläfst keine Nacht 
So parathym es wird wirr gelacht

Fühlst dich groß und willst noch mehr
So famos nichts fällt dir schwer

Bist so grell und magst dich sehr
Dein Licht druchdringt uns wie ein Speer

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
ENGLISH TRANSLATION

I
You want the warmth you want the light
You have no skin you have no face

Are full of pain but unable to feel
Your courage to face life has no weight

Your duty speaks breaks has no coat
You're so cold but do not feel it yet

Feel small and can't go on
All alone everything is torbid

You are so full but feel empty
The darkness adheres like tar

II
You want the size want the power 
Gravity created you 

Are full of pain but never indifferent
Your monologue is a battle

Your majesty smiles, does, never sleeps at night
So parathym you hear confused laughter

Feel great and want to grow further
So wizard nothing is difficult for you

You are so bright and worship yourself 
Your light penetrates us like a spear

-Vers I-

above the limes
we moan
and I am straight

death will be
on time
so I am late

like the pain
you'll fade
but I will stay

seize the day the day
when you'll be gone away
till tomorrow

you will be in the ground by five

-Vers II-

love the times
we fought
the scars we share

you'r the hate
of my life
I will declare

what marriage is for love
is death for hate

come on my friend
it's time
cause we are late

-Bridge I-

you'er chumming up
your're flying low
your time is up
I'll be your a death blow

-Vers III-

sorts of crime
we share
in delight

violence
we dare
hail the night

under the moon
we fight
just in between a snack

but after break
it's time
and blood turns black

-Bridge II-

is this what we're living for
without your madness
I won't feel no more

you fell in hate
it's worse than love

If I will lose you I can't hate no more

No more

Cause your fate is my hate

-Vers IV-

now it's time
I finally
got you down

A final blow
and your
heart truns brown

you prepare to go
made your testament

but I can't do it
axe falls out of hand

-Bridge III-

you're such
a douche
a moron

You Sir got owned
You Sir got owned
