Brutalise
03:57

|
Your mouth it tastes like honeycomb
Speak your words in acid tones
Copper blood and broken bones
Bringing down your hammer on the metronome
Sing Hey
Hey
Your scars I bear with bang and blame
Hold me down with ball and chain
Sweet the sound you call my name
Falling is so easy when you play the game
Sing Hey
Hey
There's a fine line
Between pleasure and pain
What you love and hate
Can feel the same
It can speak the truth
While it whispers lies
What feels good
Can brutalise
I'm an angel
Of a fallen prayer
You got a song to sing
For the weak to share
And you say it's you
And you say it's me
I'm gonna follow
So you lead the way
Sing it
Sing it
Sing it
Sing it
There's a fine line
Between pleasure and pain
What you love and hate
Can feel the same
It can speak the truth
While it whispers lies
What feels good
Can brutalise
You lead
I'll follow

God signs
On the playground wall
Here little children
Won't you heed the call?
Here today
Stand the defects high
Well, be reborn
Bring your mind to life
Admiration
It's a hand-me-down
You don't care
Cos you're lost and found
Got no time for the weak or the blind
Come here little children
Now
You're
Mine
Oh... you... know
There's... no... better way
Indoctrinate
You're the victim today
While you're waiting for the
Hammer to fall
The world keeps turning
You're just missing the point
Dim lights
Bring the candles of hate
Here stands the preacher
Do you see your fate?
Helter-skelter
It's a mission call
Kill the world
We'll rise as the ashes fall
Admiration
It's a hand-me-down
You don't care
Cos you're lost and found
Got no time for the weak or the blind
Come here little children
Now
You're
Mine
Oh... you... know
There's... no... better way
Indoctrinate
You're the victim today
While you're waiting for the
Hammer to fall
The world keeps turning
You're just missing the point

You paint a pretty picture
Life's a joy
Cos God forgives you all
I'll take a little longer
In myself
I guess it makes me whole
Oh, maybe I've been blind
I don't think you know my mind at all
Oh, maybe I've been blind
I don't think you know my mind at all
At all
But...
Here's the sun
Well, I guess I'm happy now
I can see for miles
The light's so loud
But, black days
Time plays
Binds me in
This cell
Always
Torment
In my mind
It's hell
You raise the hand of scripture
Bless my soul
My demons are so raw
This calling is much stronger
Fail myself
I guess it makes me sure
Oh, maybe I've been blind
I don't think you know my mind at all
Oh, maybe I've been blind
I don't think you know my mind at all
At all
But...
Here's the sun
Well, I guess I'm happy now
I can see for miles
The light's so loud
But, black days
Time plays
Binds me in
This cell
Always
Torment
In my mind
It's hell
Here's the sun
Well, I guess I'm happy now
Here's the sun
Well, I guess I'm happy now

Hey girl
What do you do?
I’m just waiting for a fool like you
Hey girl
What do you say?
You wanna do it and you’ll do it today
I’ll rule your heart,
Pull on your strings
I’m gonna make you do
All those things
I’ll show you living
A pulse for your rhythm
I’ll show the way
Cos I know you’re willing
Host
That, all too familiar
Dead eye stare
Lost soul
Take me in
I’ll answer all your prayers
Hey girl
What do you want?
I got it all and it’s here for you
Hey girl
The price for today?
You do it all now I’ll take you away
I’ll take your mind
Crush all your dreams
I’m gonna make you feel
All your screams
I’ll give you something
A hell for your living
I’ll lead the way
Cos I know you’re willing
Host
That, all too familiar
Dead eye stare
Lost soul
Take me in
I’ll answer all your prayers

Innocence Falls
04:01

Under my skin I feel it burns
I’m on my knees and I’m crawling again
It won’t leave me alone
Give me the high where time stands still
I’m in the dirt but I’m floating again
Such a long way down
People are weak
And people will break
People will heal
But I don’t mend
I’ll never mend
Innocence Falls
There’s no hope to hold
Weakness leads me on
Out of control
I will always love you
But I’m weighed down with time
I will always love you
But when she sings she’s mine
I fall
Standing on the edge of a distant dream
I had it all, I don’t want it again
I’m feeling so tired
Counting down the days till I fade out
Bury me here, give me peace again
I can call it home
I will always love you
But I’m weighed down with time
I will always love you
But when she sings she’s mine

Transcribe my suicide
I hear I left the show
Hey Hey
It’s closing time
I’m done down below
No pretty
Pretty little lies
To get me through the day
Done time on the endless line
I’m
I’m on my way
Don’t be confused
I won’t be used
Justify
Your changing mind
You’re living blind
Don’t give me a reason to live
Justify
The nothing lines
How many times
I’ve got nothing left to give
High tide for damaged pride
I had to let it go
My my
So bad inside
It’s a one man show
No guilty
Guilty last cries
To keep me here today
Your eyes are an endless crime
I’m
I’m gone today
Don’t be confused
I won’t be used
Justify
Your changing mind
You’re living blind
Don’t give me a reason to live
Justify
The nothing lines
How many times
I’ve got nothing left to give
I’m letting you know
Just letting you know
Just letting you know
I’m just letting you know
Just letting you know
I’m just letting you know
Just letting you know
I’m just letting you know
You caused this.
Take another turn walk over me
(Always all-out)
Caught between your lies I seldom breathe
(Always all-out)
Waiting around took all of me
(Always all-out)
Take a little pill and I’ll be free
(Always all-out)
I’m out
I’m out
Don’t be confused
I won’t be used
Justify
Your changing mind
You’re living blind
Don’t give me a reason to live
Justify
The nothing lines
How many times
I’ve got nothing left to give
Just letting you know
I’m just letting you know
Just letting you know
I’m just letting you know
You caused this.

No Time To Die

I’ll put my heart in the fire
One more time
This licence to kill
This sin divine
The world is in flames
It brings me to life
Don’t wait for tomorrow, there’s
No time to die
No time to die
No time to die
I put no faith in the future
Who needs time?
This body to thrill
And I unwind
This drug in my veins
It brings me to life
Don’t fear tomorrow, there’s
No time to die
No time to die
No time to die
Death waits for no-one when there’s life
Death waits for no-one when there’s life
Don’t wait for tomorrow,
There’s no time to die
There’s no time to die
There’s no time to die
There’s no time to
Time to
Time to die.

It’s done
It’s fine
It’s pretty
All mine
This life
It’s gone
I know your words meant
More than
I did
Show it
Preach it
Call
I don’t
Hear it
Nothing
At all
I waited for another sign
I waited for your love to shine
I prayed for another life
You never heard me
Fell away
Pulled away
Sorry
I said I’m sorry
Always
I ran away
Maybe
I was not worth saving
I waited for another sign
I waited for your love to shine
I prayed for another life
You never heard me
It’s done
It’s fine
It’s pretty
All mine
This life
It’s gone
I know your words meant
Nothing
Silence
Floating
Downward
Fall
I don’t
Hear you
Darkness
Calls
I waited for another sign
I waited for your love to shine
I prayed for another life
You never heard me

On the TV
There’s a new show
But it’s not clear
On the radio
There’s a new song
But I can’t hear
What’s the frequency?
What’s the frequency?
Cos I can’t tune in.
What’s the frequency?
What’s the frequency?
Cos I can’t tune in.
Here’s a locked cage
Here’s a new life
It’s all I fear
Here’s a new stage
Here’s my old life
It’s all so near
What’s the frequency?
What’s the frequency?
Cos I can’t tune in.
What’s the frequency?
What’s the frequency?
Cos I can’t tune in.
What’s the frequency?
What’s the frequency?
Cos I can’t tune in.
What’s the frequency?
What’s the frequency?
Cos I can’t tune in.
When the threads
Are found
And the mute
Speech begins
And the climbs
And the falls
And the highs
And the lows
And the red
Green, blues
On the inside
Light and
The love
Makes me alright
Alright
What’s the frequency?
What’s the frequency?
Cos I can’t tune in.
What’s the frequency?
What’s the frequency?
Cos I can’t tune in.
What’s the frequency?
What’s the frequency?
Cos I can’t tune in.
What’s the frequency?
What’s the frequency?
Cos I can’t tune in.

I wait for my voice
Can’t hear a thing
Let me breathe out
And make it sing
Where are the words
When I need to shout?
I can’t make a sound
Hear me
Over and out
Forgive me
Over and out
Release me
Over and out
I won’t make a sound
I’m here on the stage
Can’t find my role
Let me reach out
And ease my soul
Where are your words
When I have such doubt?
You don’t make a sound
Hear me
Over and out
Forgive me
Over and out
Release me
Over and out
I won’t make a sound
These blank eyes of torment
Plead take me away
Let me go
These black veils of mourning
I wear every day
Let me go

The Comfortably Strange Germany
The Comfortably Strange are a musical collaboration between songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Stephen Dawes and singer Katja Dreßler. The themes of their music are dark, sorrowful and melancholy. By combining 80's electronica and rock influences they create their own brand of alt rock; an ominous and highly atmospheric sound with similarities to groups such as Depeche Mode and Joy Division. ... more
