JANITOR´S DIARY

KEEPING MY HOUSE CLEAN (Launimaa)

I keep my house clean,
I keep my socks clean,
I´ll keep my house clean.

Keeping my desk clean,
keeping my mugs clean,
I´ll keep my house clean.

I keep my wife glad,
after all she´s not that bad.
I wouldn´t like to see her sad,
after all I need her bad.

I keep my cock clean,
I sweep my thoughts clear,
lean on vitamines.

I´ve gotta keep my ties straight
and my suits in tight line.
I´ve gotta keep my wife glad,
after all she´s not that bad.

Renew my prescription please.

MAN WITH A PLAN (Sainio)

There is a hut at a distance of three miles
It looks like waste because
the path takes only one at the time

It´s door is creaking and it´s threshold is high
No windows, no light, no points of the compass

Stambling snakes, we pave our way to the gym
After hot shower it´s time to conquer the dancefloor
What a fullfilment!

I`m robbing the bank and I`m controlling my senses
This is a misuse of situation,
the essence in me is incomplete

Blue men come limping on chilly steps
Getting and taking us in their giant cart
Chewing the cud, then spitting away

They who have made an agreement with the world
won´t get there
It´s door is creaking
and it´s threshold is high
No windows, no light, no points of the compass

Can you smell it? There´s something in the air
Can you hear it? Someone´s screaming in basement
What a fullfilment!

And what there awaits, well you can only feel it by yourself

(In a bankruptcy sale
life has lost it´s true value
Down to the wire
the bands of high-necked vultures
aren´t the ones who draw
the shortest straw)

THE INEVITABLE BREAKDOWN OF THE GREAT MANDOLINEMAN (Sainio)

He tries to be somehow but it´s not always that easy
Could you find me out and tell is it allright to feel like this

When the wind is high, he walks through the river
Then he sees the light but the light cannot see him

Where have you been so long
who is that man staring in your mirror?
Where are the memories?
Maybe time has ran out with his thoughts

Oh the taste is so good and the freedom so near
There´s someone who´s waiting
Look all those blaming eyes, is there some problems?
Someone is waiting for You

UNDERLAND (Launimaa)

We´re falling to the Underland,
where all the buried hopes still lie strong.
We´re riding on these fiery horses,
who´ll someday bring us back on surface.

We have to trust our forebodings,
and keep our bearing straight.
Let the dust go down.

Small sandbox and big trucks,
deadly force shown all around.
Small boy needs his delirium,
shades of grey he wants.

Wash the ground with champagne,
ride back to the Underland.
Bring your stones forth the great statesman,
in such a beautiful life,
so much a beautiful lie.

PAPERED (Sainio)

When you´re gazing all around
and all you see is your own eyes
There´s no mirrors behind
it´s just a reflection of your glance

If the flocks are turning back
they may have smelled just better spring
By night you press the quilt
maybe whispers, maybe something else

When you´re walking in dark lane
there´s no need to look behind
When your light is almost lost
and your head is growing numb
Leave the house and start the run
´cause nothing here is real tonight
Love your fear and love your pain,
like old friends, like cleansing rain

None of us can´t escape anything at all

GRAPEVINE (Sainio)

The dust condenses to sight
and the waiting of thousand years has come
to an end.

I will be truly yours
but who´ll be the brave one
and dig the last grave?

The first breath
and you´re getting out of yourself
The last breath
and you´re fusing back to the love

No more forcing
our opinions on others.
The charm has lost its meaning
´cause there´s no differences.

Wake up in the deep dream
and follow the being who´s always with you.
The grapevine has lost all its leaves,
so don´t let them put you in the soil.

Warm shoulders are walking away
and the lips are sticking together.
They talk about incidents
but nothing´s happening in vain.

This rain is melting my skin
and the waterline is falling.

OCCASIONAL MOMENT OF CLARITY (Launimaa)

Someone keeps himself from tearin´ apart,
red light breaks the dusk into new dawn,
shadow slowly moves aside.

See how everything grow without needs,
rain pours down like water from a can,
midnights children find their peace.

You dont have to be in every place in every time,
time flows away in any case.

Although one´s gone away with sea,
everything´s still growing,
the world´s not depending on you.

Now in ease she thinks time will give you peace,
just one thing left; be true to yourself.

CELESTIAL BANISHMENT (Sainio)

Those muttering lips tell more than we need.
Slow lame steps drown in the facts.

With a sense of purpose behind of shelter.
We peep timidly, maybe someday we´ll bring our brittle minds into light.

The still banishment
The herd assembled
Fetch the stick and take your prize
Bear the uncertainty

Wasting our time?
Maybe a joke but you cannot laugh

The last false step, a little shrug of shoulders
No need to despise, no chance for surrender

HAIL CHANT (demo)

RESOLUTION (Sainio & Launimaa)

Someone keeps me up all night
with his nonsense proves and paranoia
Well yes, you got to get your facts straight
Did you forget to feed your dogs
and pay the debt for your personal cops
Look out, they may come and get you

Don´t drop your bombs into my hands
don´t bury your lies into my lands,
keep your speeches far away from my ears

I thought I heard the fear in your voice
and you just keep that smile on your face

There is no judgement for you

FOR THE GREAT WHEEL (Launimaa)

An abstract pyramid is forming on its own
this labyrinth will expand
They brought me an empty form
that'll define my state of mind
no I won´t start this fight

I keep stumbling on a rock carpet
thick walls surround us all the way
around and round we go in between

Whose got the thickest shell
he´ll be the king of the labyrinth

Everyone for themselves
try to posses as much as possible
the emptiness swells within

HEADLONG (Sainio)

Let´s dive to the ocean
and climb to the top of the highest mountain
Let´s run to the desert
and break the shell of Earth and jump inside
to flow in its heart

Babtize me to the stream of oblivion
and show me the other rooms of this circle

A tiny point in the wide remoteness
unknown depth in the wind of this moment
A hiding place of fear too far
just our own signs, no confusing sentences

Let´s forget the promises
´cause the moon is still in the sky
Let´s breath in the silence
and break the shell of Earth and jump inside
to flow in its heart

Babtize me to the stream of oblivion
and show me the other rooms of this circle

A tiny point in the wide remoteness
unknown depth in the wind of this moment
We always looked for everything
it was there, it was always in here

UNDRESSING THE VANITY (Sainio)

Air has stopped and the last word is echoing
I kneel to the ground and the walls sway around me
and I wait when they fall on me
All these slender breaths are filled with my worn out burden
And every growing shade looks more and more decayed,
tar and blood has ran cold in my head

I don´t want to stay awake but I have to keep my eyes open
'cause the flame may grow dim now
Try understand the times when I am lost in lies
and hearing only the voices of suspicion
No matter what they say, no matter what I say
the words are only words but somehow I´m just talking

Let me under the shelter of your composure
I´m only passing throught
and this dark night feels endless
but it´s something essential I have to bless

In dress of mischange goes the grace throught times
and won't stagger althought it hurts

UP FROM BLACKOUT (Sainio & Launimaa)

There is a rat on the floor
only my third eye can see
There has to be more
so I follow and forget my needs

They were walking by the riverside
to the endless green forest
Building a city in their minds
based on the strong wind

Thinking that the words unsaid
had been floating so long in the air

Someone´s knocking on the door
but the voice is out of tune
Tin can mentality, such a burden
they´ve got up from the blackout

TOISTAISEKSI JULKAISEMATTOMIA

GENTLEMANIA (Sainio)

Count your expenses and count your fees,
iron your best tie and recall your best smile

Raise your hands and scream like a damned,
count your bullets and choose right addresses

Count your fingers and count your pills,
trust old wisdom and blow your brain up

Those million hiding sheeps are ready
for luxuriant grounds and the following bounds
But something´s gleaming on horizon
and Mother Earth bows her head and we can just yield

Blame your parents and above all the God,
you can always avenge it to your own child

Those million hiding sheeps are ready
for luxuriant grounds and the following bounds
But something´s gleaming on horizon
and Mother Earth bows her head
And lunatics are rushing all around
and we can just yield and share
the last breed and wait for the next surprise
that She will vomit into our necks

There comes a child of new morning,
he smiles and dances with sunbeams
and everything´s fine

LAST EFFORT (Launimaa)

I will play with myself,
there`s no-one to know,
bread-crumbs won´t satisfy my pure needs.

As the thoughts will flow,
so are the needs that purify you.
When I ran into you,
nothing could keep me from drowning in your landscape.

There is no place like this mind of my own,
I´ll share it with you gladly.
Nothing can grow as large as we are in this hour.
One false move, one wrong word
can turn things upside down.

Nothing is easier than putting the stamp on our forehead
for those who matter to us like the stones on the ground.
Sad ones are those who hurl insults at people
within reach, on the street, they sleep alone.

Life on a bar, a few bucks short for a drink.
People upholding their standards, appraisal of space.
Time´s running out,
it´s time to move into position
and make the last effort.

HELL´S CUT instrumentaali

SIMPLICITY (Launimaa & Sainio)

I see you´re standing in front of night
when light runs back to sun
Someone will light up the pyre
forcing dusk beside

Something brought us whole in our enterity

I will pay my place in heaven
by empty bottles and a charming smile
A pray confirms the hope that´s in you
The one you´re praying is yourself

Something brought us whole in our enterity
Here you´ll meet us
where the colours dance through landscape

In the end there is no fear and no doubt in between

I will forsake my reason sense
when I see those shining flies
filling the sky and my soul
