TRAUMA (1999 - 2004)
I'm not sure if these songs are ever scored, and to be honest, I've never heard them sung before. But I am responsible for this issue of The 2nd Rule, where I've compiled a sort of album from these tracks, most of them found in an old diary or in a dark desk drawer from the various authors, who are kindly sharing their shame with us today. I think you will get a hint of what this issue is about the minute you start reading, so enjoy the hurt and the pain... somewhere we've all been before. It's never too late for revenge.

Ruined Regret World (after Republic) Burning
-------------
Listen But you Listen, every is the one
have a conversation on the telephone
Ruined Day, if you feel a, it could take all day
that's the price of love, can you feel it
on your own, greater rocking
Some people like to decieve you,
if we could buy it now, how long will it last?
Every step you take is the one,
that's going to undo what you've done
Stop acting like a child, others feel need
Keep my world in my hands, I may be wrong
But you listen, Maybe I've forgotten
you, i do my best, now you are mine
the name and the address, on the telephone
there's nothing I regret, dealing in the limits
I run away, my wounded heart
Building is on fire, in a moment I am gone
A place I could call my own, out of hand
on this occasion, its not true
I was so sure of this, wake up everyday
You were a complete stranger, no passion
A start, complain, sideways to the sun
just wait till tomorrow, not too late
i guess that's what they all say
stepping out of time,
- David Hiss

Angry Bitches INC
-----------------
I guess you're happy now
screwing around in the summer suns
now you're free
to do whatever you want
I wish you'll burn in hell
along with Lucifer and Bush
I wish you'll have brimstone
for frühstuck, dejuner and supper
I wish you love
Yes, I am the CEO of
Angry Bitches INC
We'll haunt you till the end of time
don't try and hide
Dive under that sheep's clothing
become Latin, Greek or Dutch
We know who you are

We are Angry Bitches INC
We'll haunt you till the end of time
so just try and hide, hide away
till the end of time

Zoo Bitch
---------
Get out bitch this is not a zoo
I've never liked your cat shit on my floor
Enough bitch this is not a lake
get that bloody flamingo out of my face
Oh oh pets of all sorts
things crittering all over
sympathy for the lamb
my mind, about to crawl
Get out bitch out of my house
go find a park somewhere else
Enough is enough for me
sharing my shower with snakes
crocodiles, turtles, terrapins

Death to the one who first called
----------
Two years down the road
Don't want no blessing in disguise
Never tripping on happiness ever ever
Wondering where you are
Hoping I have enough
Assassins are expensive things
I hate your guts
and what you did
your mom as well
she's a real damn bitch
Death to the one who first called
Death to the one who said hello
Death to the one who craved contact
Death to the one who sent that mail
Kill Kill Kill
Death Death Death
Bleed Bleed Bleed
Kill Kill Kill
Death Death Death
Bleed Bleed Bleed
Kill Kill Kill
Death Death Death
Bleed Bleed Bleed

Remaking Paradise
-----------------
The day that I saw you at the party
The day that I nearly died
Some policeman mistook me
for Bin Laden
A night of hell and fright
I remember our last conversation
Something about San Sebastian
Something good is about to happen
Something close to paradise
He was wrong
Heaven and Hell, indifferent
different songs with the same tune
Democracy realized, fucked

Walking on the water
--------------------
I went walking down by the water
talking a thing or two
you were satan's little doughter
I was a wood-working jew
you asked what about salvation
i said that it didn't exist
you were talking about creation
one of my daddy's little myths
I was walking down by the water
turning it into wine
multiplying these fishes
for them to swim with mine
- Daniel Kluge
