Lyrics:

Two years gone by 
We met in a hotel hall
I hear your voice
In a telephone call

I lost my mind in
One bus stop kiss
When you left I fell into 
my well-known abyss

There is nowhere to run
Life’s covered in black
I tried moving on but
Keep drifting back
Lalala …
Lalala ...

Two steps forward
Three steps back
Here I go another
Panic attack

Seven steps up and
Eight steps down
I just feel weird when
You’re not around

I keep on waiting like a 
Frozen statuette 
Treasuring the moments when our 
Bodies first met

It is your name written 
Into my heart
I still believe nothing can 
Keep us apart

I will be searching for that 
Heavenly place 
Where we can be together in an
Endless embrace
Lalala …
Lalala …

Two steps forward
Three steps back
Here I go another
Panic attack

Seven steps up and
Eight steps down
I just feel weird when
You’re not around

Two steps forward
Three steps back
Here I come the
Psycho wreck

Seven steps up and
Eight steps down
I just feel weird when
You’re not around

"Lady of the Serengeti" by My Auxiliary Ego

Music: Maria Theresa Barbist & Pollyanna Bush
Lyrics: Maria Theresa Barbist
Producer: Gamboa

Lyrics:

Her scream shatters
My whole being
Her body lost
In the dark
Milady of the underground
Is drowning in a park
In dreams I see her fighting
Her lover’s attacks
So scared to see her leaving
And never coming back

Milady of the Serengeti
I long to hear you sing
I’ll join you in a melody
That will take away our sins.

These moments that we shared
In the basement of that club
I will always cherish
And I’ll never give her up
We will always have our music
She told me one dark night
It will carry us through this life
And out into the light

Milady of the Serengeti
I long to hear you sing
I’ll join you in a melody
That will take away our sins
Milady of the Serengeti
I long to hear you shout
Get rid of all these monsters
That that that will turn us inside out

Lady of the Serengeti

'Hurricane' by My Auxiliary Ego

Driving north along the shore
Weʼre telling stories
Of broken hearts and shattered dreams
We climb down cliffs called by the water
Drawing closer to each other
Filled with longing we sit and watch
The waves pounding down the rocks
And then his hands take over my skin
And the world starts spinning
The hurricane inside of me
Is breaking loose again, again, again
The hurricane inside of me
Is breaking loose again, again, again
And as we move into the sea
Our bodies never felt so free
Just for one moment we can be
The lovers of our destiny
On our drive south back into our lives
Only a kiss goodbye survives
And then his hands take over my skin
And the world starts spinning
The hurricane inside of me
Is breaking loose again, again, again
The hurricane inside of me
Is breaking loose again, again, again
The hurricane inside of me
Breaking loose again, again, again
The hurricane inside of me
Breaking loose again, again, again

'Childhood Shrine' by My Auxiliary Ego

I said Merry Christmas dad
He was staring at the screen
He didnʼt recognize my face I was
Just a stranger to him
Heʼs leftover from a different time
When mothers beat their children blue and green
When there was war and not enough to eat
You could call them hard times indeed
Uuuuhhhh Uuh Uuh
Uuuuhhhh Uuh Uuh

He was follower of rules
And always kept the time
Now his mind is running circles
Round a childhood shrine
He was a follower of rules
And always kept the time
Now his mind is running circles
Round a childhood shrine

All the rules that kept him safe
Now canʼt help him find a way
Timeʼs collapsing over him
Heʼs lost in the same memory all day
When there is nothing left to hold onto
Will he fly away
When there is nothing left to remember
How will he escape
Uuuuhhhh Uuh Uuh
Uuuuhhhh Uuh Uuh

He was follower of rules
And always kept the time
Now his mind is running circles
Round a childhood shrine
He was a follower of rules
And always kept the time
Now his mind is running circles
Round a childhood shrine

I said Merry Christmas dad
He was staring at the screen
He didnʼt recognize my face I was
Just a stranger to him

Childhood Shrine

'Sign of Life' by My Auxiliary Ego

Dead bodies all around
changes never came to be
I need a sign of life something that
I can hold on to
Tears mixing in with the blood
Losing more than I can bear
Broken hearted mindless pain
Where do I go from here?

In the hands of God I give my children
Wish I saw them breathe
In the hands of God I give my children
Wish I saw them breathe

Another hope goes down the drain
More fears become reality
Canʼt care canʼt love canʼt do
nothing
Come back come back come back
Come back to me
Just one more day Iʼll breathe for you
And you breathe through me

In the hands of God I give my children
Wish I saw them breathe
In the hands of God I give my children
Wish I saw them breathe

My womb is your grave
My womb is your grave
My womb is your grave
My womb is your grave
Is your grave
Is your grave, your grave, your grave
Is your grave, is your grave, is your grave

Sign Of Life

'Flag' by My Auxiliary Ego

I find you in a dark and twisted space
Your hands are covering your face
Youʼre trying to tell me who you are
A lost little boy living in a car
And I try on your Nike shoes
Secretly singing the little girl blues
You hand me your black Swiss army knife
So I can stab you if you mess up my life

You say you make a flag out of my soul
Run it up and hang it from a pole
You watch my ghosts flap in the breeze
Until their frantic smiles freeze

You hear me cry internal tears
On canvas spilled you see my fears
Your scars are fixed between the frames
We keep on playing our little games
I told you about my fucked-up mind
Tried to get rid of you cause youʼre too kind
Iʼm way too scared to let you in
In dreams I touch your skin

You say you make a flag out of my soul
Run it up and hang it from a pole
You watch my ghosts flap in the breeze
Until their frantic smiles freeze
You say you make a flag out of my soul
Run it up and hang it from a pole
You watch my ghosts flap in the breeze
Until their frantic smiles freeze

My Auxiliary Ego is an indie folk band created by singer/songwriter Maria Theresa Barbist. The visual artist, psychologist and musician was born in Austria and lives in Miami, FL. Growing up in the Tyrol she was playing polkas, valses and tangos on the accordion for her mother's bed and breakfast guests at an early age and later was part of an accordion orchestra.

The self-titled debut EP was recorded during the global pandemic when Barbist started to collaborate with producer Rodrigo Gamboa who also plays guitar on the record. They are joined by Mariano Escalona on drums and Josu Ortiz on piano for 'Childhood Shrine'.
