Little Black Matchstik Girl

No locks of gold she would have worn
Nor fair in skin she would adorn

Every time she rose to speak
No ears to listen how they sleep

No one cared for the girl with naps
How she read you like a map

She had issues with her self
All of them on a dusty shelf

For everyone to judge and see
Her human flaws plauging thee

With no one there to help her plight
Her body began to dim in light

when she died in dark and cold
No one knew her depth in soul

Who was a fire that warmed the old
A golden angel you would behold

"Love hard. Get your heartbroken. Laugh. Cry. Suffer. Explore. Wear your scars with pride. Allow life to teach you in mysterious ways. Risk it all. Put your heart on the line. Fall down. Get back up no matter what..." -Evan Sanders

Little Black Matchstik Girl

"Nuff Said" challenges our inner demons. Don't let them drag you down, cause you deserve better. Starting with a catchy riff, we bring you back to good old 2000s nu metal and spiced it up with modern elements. I wrote the instrumental and the hook, Brett Anthony did the rap part and Ampersandman contributed his guitar and bass work to raise the roof. This is to all people who deal with a tough situation and enjoy heavier tones. 
Thanks a lot for the collab!

==== LYRICS ====

Get up, get up
I think I said enough, had enough
Half way through to you
but your head's still filling up

with the lies inside your eyes
that take me by surprise
So I keep my thoughts inside
and I try to spare your life

But I'm one step closer from it
finally being over
Vocally drained, insane
Still seeking closure

I'm a mad man, damaged plan
just can't understand
Out my cage, in a rage
confused and dazed

The hate began on a long lost road
Where is where I think I sold my soul
To the edge I place my toes
As my mind spins out control

Don't you know that it's payback
One last attack, I'm back on track
Flow through the aftermath
because nothing's coming after that

Nuff said,
time to get you out of my head
There's nothing
You can say to do or mend

I'm loving
The fact it came to this
Instead of cutting wrists
I move forward with my fists

If nothing stood in my way
I would be happy someday, yeah baby
(Nuff said, nuff said)
But to my deepest dismay
The hunter's stalking its prey, yeah baby
(Nuff said, nuff said)

Tik tock tick
the clock it won't stop
It's time to forget
the tears and blood I dropped

It came to this
in case you didn't know
I fill my mind with gasoline
and set fire to this soul

Explode out
this shell and through this hell
No doubt
this curse is one big spell
Sold out
Death is what we sell
And life can only tell
Though the silent screams we yell

I've been knocked down, stomped on
Felt like giving up
Dragged around, tossed to the ground
Not knowing to get up

Messed around and lost my crown
Tested all my luck
Lost and found, stood my ground
Fought all these things I thought were tough

Nuff said
Time to get you out of my head
There's nothing
You can say to do or mend

I'm loving
The fact it came to this
Instead of cutting wrists
I move forward with my fists

You'll notice nothing outside
When you try hurting my pride, yeah baby
(But I, I keep turning the tide)
But in my deepest inside
I feel like buried alive, yeah baby
(I got, I got nothing to)

Nuff said
Still need another fallback
To backstab
And make your head crack
No need no respect
(Leave and don't return again)

Nuff said
Don't wanna talk
You fucking bonehead,
I'm gonna make your head crack
No need to check back
Leave and don't return again

If nothing stood in my way
I would be happy someday, yeah baby
(I got, I got nothing to say)

But to my deepest dismay
The hunter's stalking its prey, yeah baby
(I got, I got nothing to say)

You'll notice nothing outside
When you try hurting my pride, yeah baby
(But I, but I keep turning the tide)

But in my deepest inside
I feel like buried alive, yeah baby
I got, I got nothing to say

Nuff Said

Silent Defender

Screams that say nothing, firecrackers in the parks, shotguns in the fields.

Thinking It Through

„Worte des Wasserfalls“ (11.05.2024 )

Diese Komposition entstand so ca. 2015 aus meiner frühen Schaffensphasen.
Die ersten kompositorischen Versuche mit virtuellen Instrumenten eine musikalische 
Klangwelt entstehen zu lassen.

Ein kleiner Fluss in den Weiten des Dschungels wird von Flussbiegung zur Flussbiegung immer reißender bis er vereint in die Tiefen eines Wasserfalls wieder zu einem ruhigen Fluss wird.


Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

“Words of Waterfall” (May 11, 2024)

This composition was created around 2015 from my early creative phases.
The first compositional attempts with virtual instruments were a musical one
to create a sound world.

A small river in the vastness of the jungle becomes more and more rapid from river bend to river bend until it becomes a calm river again in the depths of a waterfall.


Thank you for your valued attention.
