I started growing small pointy things out of my head What's more my skin began to slowly turn Tuscan red What's more my doctor said she totally can't understand It's getting harder and harder to shampoo my head A suited demon showed up and we sat face to face He said no chance in hell I'm getting out of this place I stood up fast and made a run for it, just in case My pinky toe smashed super hard into his briefcase I don't know what I feel I think of something else I can't remember this I don't exist at night There is a fire ball that has gone out of control It burns a perfect hole in both my heart and my soul I wanna drive away before I finally fall Don't need a car because it's driving me up the wall I try to reach you on the telephone, Gehenom When I need you to be my methadone, Gehenom The steady tone I hear implying nobody's home I end up all alone, Gehenom, Gehenom I don't know what I feel I think of something else I can't remember this I don't exist at night

You've failed, you might deny But it's true But it's true But it's true But it's true Moreover, You think it's no one's fault But it's you But it's you But it's you Can't remember where you came from, where you're going to Or the last time anyone noticed you Meantime the tram is after you Buttercup, you better keep up Good times, they come and go So it seems So it seems So it seems So it seems However, Good times you'd only find In your dreams In your dreams In your dreams Nasty weather Sun goes down, your eyes are never shut Sun goes up, your mind stays in the dark Meantime the tram is catching up Buttercup, you better not stop You are alone Directions home unknown You gave it all today Take that away Take that away You are alone Directions home unknown You gave it all today Take that away Take that away Time passes but there still Is no change Is no change Is no change Is no change I mean it, You'll forever remain In that cage In that cage In that cage Going nowhere Blinding light, your only thing to see Metal bars, what appropriate company Your head will ache eternally Buttercup, might as well give up You are alone Directions home unknown You gave it all today Take that away Take that away Take that away Away

Love 07:11
Love It's just a simple thing Tragically Love Borrowed my emptiness Blissfully (Tell me how you want it, I, I wanna know it) Ghostly fingers going through your hair It's just fair Let your fingers run on down my spine And I'll be fine Love Has got me by the neck Truth or dare In gentle thoughts I was already there (Tell me how you want it, I, I wanna know it) Staying home or sitting on the sand By the sea Both my left hand and my gut agree There we should be It's strong as bone Clear as acetone But still remains unknown It's always there Common as air But still remains so rare It's never sure Clearly obscure But still remains the cure Love It's just a simple thing, just a simple thing Love, love It was my everything, was my everything Love It was a simple thing, I recall Were we always riding straight for a fall?

Always 02:55
Always on the other side of the line Just don't be afraid Be my wall but let me knock on you gently Stay locked Hide beneath beneath beneath beneath beneath Under me Under my underwear Under my wear Beware Be there aware I will always fly with the sparks and the smoke And I will always fly with the sparks and the smoke Don't ask me hard questions Don't give me a hard time Always down under me My body will never be tight again And I will always fly with the sparks and the smoke And I will always fly with the sparks and the smoke Don't ask me hard questions Don't give me a hard time Always down under me My body will never be tight again Let me get inside a dress and dance Free my body between the dreams That I will always find love More and more and more and more From the air around me

She used to be the one you use Always on time to be abused Just when you think you figure her out She's all about stealing the muse And I said I said nothing I choked on air Caught into something And I couldn't breathe I couldn't scream I couldn't sleep So I couldn't dream She used to be the one you use Always on time to be abused Just when you think you figure her out She's all about stealing the muse And I said I said nothing I choked on air Caught into something And I couldn't breathe I couldn't scream I couldn't sleep So I couldn't dream She used to be the one you use She used to be the one you use She used to be the one you use She used to be the one you use

A dream A morning It's gently shining through my eyelids Reviving forgotten thoughts A familiar face Something in my veins Loving eyes, emphasize Time is running short Yet I'm lying in between Four walls, formidable laws And they're staring, judging Just barely holding back their smiles Take me somewhere nice Away from their eyes I know you, sweet desire I know you, holy water This is my shame and splendor God knows it goes together I know you, sweet desire I know you, holy water This is my shame and splendor God knows it goes together Out of nowhere It's time I've been curled up here Waiting for so long For a beam of light Or a foreign sound Sneaking to my ground Clinging to my ear It's here But this sound I hate it This light Is burning me I'm blind, I'm deaf and terrified Take me somewhere else I'm losing my mind I know you, sweet desire I know you, holy water This is my shame and splendor God knows it goes together I know you, sweet desire I know you, holy water This is my shame and splendor God knows it goes together I know the future holds a big gift for me We're gonna swim tomorrow Water will be my shadow I know the future will not skip over me We're gonna swim tomorrow Till then I'll drown in sorrow I know you, sweet desire I know you, holy water This is my shame and splendor God knows it goes together I know you, sweet desire I know you, holy water Love you now and forever God knows it's so much better

Ariel My Friend Leipzig, Germany

Hi, I'm Ariel, and I like to make music, videos and other things. My music is done independently, and so are my videos and album covers, with the occasional help from good friends.

Please head over to arielmyfriend.com to check out some stuff that was too revolutionary for Bandcamp to handle!
