hello good evening ladies and gentlemen i got a feeling then yes i got a sentiment that needs revealing, so i gotta vent again don't wanna let in any more resentment so many people trying tryn to blend in with the crowd keeping their spirit from flying fearing they aren't allowed grazing along with the other sheep in line at the shopping mall inside the void has grown so deep can it be filled at all? guitar we go to work for making money that how we measure how much we are worth it doesn't matter how you treat the people it doesn't matter how you treat the earth we got a duty to ignore the beauty the earth has provided you see we must consume or else we are doomed to be or not to be so we'll never fall never follow the herd we'll never follow cuz they all are absurd i got a thing and it's working alright but they made a new model this year so i gotta buy it and get rid of this one to keep the respect of my peers the clothes that i buy will last one season then they go in the trash not that they stop keeping warm the reason is that they go out of fashion

every morning the sun'll rise i open up my eyes, but i can't get up i know that rising would be good for me or it would sure be but i can't get up i know, i know, i ought'a go outside up up up up out into the sun but though i know i'm not gonna go cuz last night i just had too much fun so i'm rolling over and i go back to sleep in the morning time i never need to count the sheep because i sleep so deep i'm like a sleepy heap i never even hear the alarm going beep beep beep get outa bed outa bed outa bed now just try and deny it, not only the one i seen it. i mean it. get out in the sun i'll be falling never calling, even when it's good i'll be sullen never telling, even if i should i'll be waisting all my time, busting out another rhyme when it's only in my mind, cutting in another line i'll be in this way to far, crashing in another car now it's up a rainy star, i'll be sleeping at the bar just try and deny it not only the one i seen it i mean it get out in the sun well i'm sick of not getting out of bed till noon and it's winter so now it'll be dark real soon and the big baboon sings a tune about the moon while he's eating a maroon balloon with a spoon think of all the time i'm wasting i could've saved the world by now but i'm sitting on my couch just tasting beer. yum. 1 2 3 i've been thinking about just setting an alarm, getting up and getting out find a better thing to do than sleep till two if you know what i'm talking about got a bed with a pillow and it is so chill but i really wanna to a bit more with the day but the fellow with the cello who's getting mellow forgot what was gonna say and all the things that he thought that he really wanted said and everything he wrote down but all i gotta do is lift my head and not lay it back get outa bed outa bed outa bed now

See the Sky 04:35
i wonder if those men could see the sky or feel the rays of the sun i think that it must be hard to learn to fly if you always on the run you're on the run from yourself every day you're working so hard you forget how to play and while the world spins round you begin to drown let your love for life just fade away so your blaming the economy shaming who you wanna be and for the comfort of false security you go and sacrifice your autonomy oh - and there's another man, been led to believe the value of your life depends on how much you receive yo! but what you're looking for will never make it alright you'll just keep wanting more and forget all about the starry sky at night i wonder if those men could see the sky…. so a dude sits alone he could be anyone of us playing with his phone in a tree or while on a bus he don't look up so he won't get sucked into the endless stream of thoughts and dreams that lead him back to cannabis constantly got the feeling of being overwhelmed by all the shit he's hearing and he's seeing he hates how media's become so controlling and turns to his news feed to keep on scrolling i wonder if those men could see the sky... oh and theres another man, who just wants to provide for the family he loves so much, but also for his pride but hey! by now you ought to know, when you take more than you need you just keep wanting more and your love for your family just turns to greed i wonder if those men could see the sky… oh no! and now another man slowly loosing his head cuz all day long while his TV's on he's being pacified and mislead since it's all the same he'll just watch the game and have a couple more beers and the bombs are dropping while the pawns go shopping and never shedding any tears

Nothing Left 03:46
nothing left open your mind if you wanna come along there's nothing left but the here and now open up the door just pull on the handle drop it to the floor if it's too hot to hold here is a match now light up your candle let all your fear disappear with the cold and when night time comes we can huddle together come over here so we don't have to freeze just like the fire nothing is forever so listen to the sounds of the wind in the trees open your mind if you wanna coma along there's nothing left but the here and now well now the stars shine bright from another dimension the moon is peepin out at us from behind a cloud the sound of the river rumblin likie an engine but still all my thoughts, my thoughts are too loud and when the night time comes we can huddle together… open your mind if you wanna coma along there's nothing left but the here and now when i was waiting for somebody to come up and talk to me nobody paid me any mind, i had not an identity but when i made the choice to raise my voice and take a little chance i found the sound of my feet on the ground is sweet when i dance and when the night time comes we can huddle together… open your mind if you wanna coma along there's nothing left but the here and now

Let That Fire Burn You gotta go back home or you'll get left alone you gotta let that fire burn you gotta go back home to the place you know and remind yourself what's real don't let it eat away at you don't get stuck when you hesitate and then hold it in till it's all to late and there nothing left that you can do it's keeps on rolling and rollin just like a marble in your head that is growin and growin while the silence keeps it fed till the smoking coals that lay tame suddenly burst into flame and burn down the world over words unsaid You gotta go back home leaving ya feelings unspoken can leave ya reeling or broken sometimes ya need to stop joking and simply say what's wrong if you ignore yourself you will end up in hell all because you tried to pretend that you were strong so open up and then let it out if you hold it you gonna scream and shout you gotta think about finding another rout cuz it's no good don't you know you can't please everybody life is good but not always a party - you don't have to stand up for yourself but you should You gotta go back home

about

this EP is the first production that features another musician. my bro fabi who's joined me on several tours as my technical assistant, roadie and production manager is infact also a talented pianist who can also sing. we began playing and performing together in the fall of 2014. now we made an album together. weee! X)

on this album we cover a wide range of musical styles as always, but i also deal with a variety of different topics. from the challenge of getting out of bed in the morning to the manipulation of the news, societies obsession with status or the importance of listening to your own needs and standing up for yourself. 

i spent the entire summer in the studio while everyone else was enjoying record breaking heat of close to 40ºC almost every day in vienna chillin by the danube river. now that i've finished the temperatures have plummeted to like 10º. god it was like 30º at night for 2 months … you can't imagine. in the middle of the city. i eventually bought an air conditioner for my room or i would have never been able to finish it.

ok rocky, now quit your whining! :D
