Austrian I was born. / I am living. / I will die.
Yesterday Yesterday my girlfriend told me she was pregnant At first I was kinda happy Kids are great, right? I always liked them Today Today I'm not so sure anymore I'm sitting in my office Staring at the screen Not doing **** Thinking about things Waiting for a feeling Panic. Anger. Disbelief. Like a patient in a hospital after a routine check Knowing that something's not right Waiting for the doctor to talk about terminal cancer Or Worse! But nothing happens I'm calm like a newborn The more I think about it The more I smile And suddenly everything makes sense Tomorrow Tomorrow I will be a dad I will take good care of him or her. Teach him or her everything I know Everything he or she needs to know about everything Be there for him or her from the very beginning I will be a good dad. And I will love that child As if it were my own.

Cuckoo
You take the cold cuts You cut the cheese You open the glass of mayonnaise And then you cut off slices of bread Good bread Fine bread Bread which has lived a good life Bread which has lived a long life Which has been able to play with other bread down at the river Bread which has never lied or hurt other bread Which has been decent and honest and faithful and hard working and good Then you assemble the sandwich And you eat it You see it doesn't matter how good bread has been Cold cuts, cheese and mayonnaise have been ******** all their life Come tomorrow they'll all be ****

Bread
So this friend of mine comes up to me And asks me if i can help him out Sure, I say, what's up He pulls out a gun from his back And shoots me in the face I suddenly wake up And realize I'm in my bed Kinda shocked I go to the kitchen To grab a glass of water Then the phone rings I pick up the phone When suddenly a car crashes Trough the kitchen window Crushing each and every bone in my body I suddenly wake up And realize I fell asleep On a park-bench The sun is shining The sky is blue It's a fantastic day People are having fun in the park When suddenly this guy in a trench-coat Sitting on the park-bench next to me Pulls the trigger And blasts everything including me To bits and pieces I suddenly wake up Please! I'm in my office It's lunch time Everyone's getting ready to grab a bite Please, no more! Susan, from Accounting sees me And asks if I want to join her for Sushi Sure, I say, why not We go and get some Sushi Please stop! She suddenly grabs a Chopstick And stabs me in the ear Over and over I suddenly wake up And then something happens And then I die. I suddenly wake up And then something happens And then I die. A thousand deaths won't make up for what I did to you. But eventually I will learn To live with it. And so will you.

A thousand deaths
One day I had this idea. I wanted to be a better person. Help others in need. Try to be humble. Hold out my hand to people ****** by fate. Change the way I live. Change the way I think. About life. About jobs. About money. About homosexuals. About supermarkets. About space rockets. About apples. One day I woke up. And I thought about life. My life. And what I would have to do to improve it. To change it. I thought long. I thought hard. One day Maybe one day. I will find the strength to pull this off, pull myself together, turn my life around, be a better person, help others in need, try to be humble, hold out my hand to people ****** by fate. Maybe one day. But not now.

One day
This fist In your face In your kidney In your arrogance In your lifestyle. This foot In your ribs In your *** In your hostility In your wealth. This finger In your eyes In your ears Down your throat To shut you up. Don't talk Don't say a word Your sheer existence Is an insult To the universe. If only I could find The red button To blast us all to Bits and Pieces? Silence. At last. Ever. Lasting. Silence.

Misanthrope too
While she's pouring the red wine I am cutting the onions. Some hot olive oil and a hot pan and there's your sweet smell. She hands me my wine glass And I take a big sip. 1995 Elderton Shiraz. What a wine! Un-fuckin-believable! I drop some veal into the pan. And some finely chopped garlic. And some thyme. I turn the meat over. A few drops of white wine And I tilt the pan. The meat catches fire. So does my sleeve. She's screaming From the top of her lungs. I'm raising my hand To calm her down. But instead I'm watching the flames Turn my arm into a Charred And smoky Mess. A few days later I am back home. She's gone. Thank god. As I enter the kitchen I see the pan. It's still there. Too bad my arm is wrapped In Bandage. I would love to cook me a steak. Charred. And Smoky. The way it's supposed to be.

Charred & Smoky
Dead people. Everywhere. Literally. They don't know it. Yet. But each and everyone of them Will witness The ultimate ending. The end of their journey. The last exit. Some sooner. Some later. But not me. I am immortal. Invincible. Indestructible. Unbreakable. Once the second last person on earth draws their last breath I will be the last man standing. That will be the end of all. No newspapers. No chocolate bars. No football games. No prison rapes. No weddings. No 4 course meals. No bull riding. No marathon running. No coffee. No drugs. No jobs. Nothing. Just me.

The end of all
He's yelling right in my face. I did this wrong. I did that wrong. He is considering letting me go. A fake smile is all it takes to keep my job. 'Yes, sir.' 'No, sir.' 'It won't happen again, sir.' I think about his wife. His car. His house. His dog. His parents. And how they brought him up. Spoiled his *** every ******* chance they got. I keep my mouth shut decide to smile and return to my desk. It's not his fault. His ******* parents simply didn't know how to beat some decency into their son.

Parental guidance
A monster. That's what she called me. For not listening to her. For not hugging her every once in a while. For not caring about her needs. For being bored when she's talking about her job. For not pretending to be happy. For not liking her parents. For not cleaning the kitchen after I prepared dinner. For not holding her after *** Kinda funny if you think about it. There are men beating the living **** out of their wives. ******** other women behind their backs. Being cruel to them every chance they get. But I'm the monster. Women. You have to marry them to forget them.

Kinda funny
What do you want from me? Can't be the money Can't be the riches Why do you love me? Can't be the wits Can't be the laughter Why are you looking at me like that? Can't be the looks Can't be the smile Each time you're telling me That you love me That you need me That I am everything You ever wanted All I want to do is Hit your beautiful face As hard as I can I don't want anyone To look at me like that It makes it harder for me To simply walk away
