I am afraid of you afraid of you I´m not afraid of you Not afraid of you I´m not afraid of you Worried ´bout you I am afraid of you I turned you somewhere Dispelled doubts Broken glasses It ain´t my fault Street lights are Telling stories to me Lost direction Pure pure greed I am afraid of you afraid of you I´m not afraid of you Not afraid of you I´m not afraid of you Worried ´bout you I am afraid of you Petrol pump Fresh cut grass I´m on the road I won´t take a rest Things are changing Egoism’s left Do I stop burning With a shot through my chest I am afraid of you afraid of you I´m not afraid of you Not afraid of you I´m not afraid of you Worried ´bout you I am afraid of you I am afraid of you I am afraid of you I am afraid of you

I don´t know where I can go to sleep I don´t know where The knife is not waiting for me I don´t know where To feel like a creep I don´t know where My hands never start to bleed I don´t know where Love is not waiting to starve I don´t know where I can rest without sleep I don´t know where To get the proof I don´t know where The blanked feels like my roof I don´t know where To trust the sky I don´t know where To hit the roof I don´t know where I can be proud But I know where It´s raining without clouds

Railroad Rat 02:59
Whether falling on my knees Or playing on the ground Whether hiding myself Or leaving this town Children just cry If there´s something strange around Loving themselves Being happy and proud I´m the railroad rat locked inside Locked in freedom I´ll never put aside If everything is said And everything is done The waitress is coming Another round The bed just can´t be My only friend Telling me what to do With myself I´m the railroad rat locked inside Locked in freedom I´ll never put aside Does the labyrinth really Show just one way out You have to be somebody Stumbling thoughts Studying, teaching Or crying to myself Waltzing with my soul Just to make them proud I´m the railroad rat locked inside Locked in freedom I´ll never put aside

I read the truth in my palm So crystal clear I followed its way Behaving myself But the truth remained It wasn´t my taste I cut of my hand And sent it away I have a special gift For solving problems Solving problems is what I like I led them to believe My great adventure Lying even to myself I saw the truth in my eyes So crystal clear I tried my best Without any fear But the truth remained It wasn´t my taste So I cut my eyes I´m left without hate I have a special gift For solving problems Solving problems is what I like I led them to believe My great adventure Lying even to myself I heard the truth in my ears So crystal clear Standing aside I´m fighting my tears But the truth remained It wasn´t my taste So I cut off my ears No more tears I have a special gift For solving problems Solving problems is what I like I led them to believe My great adventure Lying even to myself I kept Lying even to myself I kept Lying even to myself

I´m sitting by myself Not any longer My voice is broken I´ll take a rest I prefer railroad tracks Suppressing time Steam strokes my skin And tired folks I´m coming down from hell but the innocence is calling me free I´m burning like hell but the innocence is calling me free Giving up is weak Pushing to the front My whisper´s coming close I may lose my words You had been so brave Not any longer I had to take a lot Since you´ve passed away I´m coming down from hell but the innocence is calling me free I´m burning like hell but the innocence is calling me free Sunlight reveals cobweb Hanging from my bed The spider´s not at home I need to talk to you The floor is flat and cold My lips are turning blue Stand up to move your blood He´s never coming back ​ I´m coming down from hell but the innocence is calling me free I´m burning like hell but the innocence is calling me free Have you been tasting mud Are you struggling hard You´re hanging by a thread My voice is coming back I´m coming down from hell but the innocence is calling me free I´m burning like hell but the innocence is calling me free I´m coming down from hell but the innocence is calling me free I´m burning like hell but the innocence is calling me free

I was searching for something In this pretty, well-known town everything had a routine And nothing could go wrong But less sleep and angriness My exploited fridge I tried to heat some water My attempt was fragile My intent to repair the flat Went badly wrong I wanted to leave Nothing else seemed to belong But the door was closed and I couldn´t get out I had to open a window Not to get drowned Rooms were getting tight The floor kissed the roof The air went out my attention got loose I wanted to shout I needed some help But my voice broke down The walls started to melt The waking of the sun Came too late for me An angel whispered Get up a tree Rooms were getting tight The floor kissed the roof The air went out my attention got loose

Melting Rose 01:54
Where are the times Of gold and steel Where are the times My feet wore wheels My heart keeps barking Smells like lead Breaking pens I start to bleed Losing my fingers Losing my cries Where´s my best friend No more lies Melting rose Left alone Burning water Sinking stone Gave you a rose I don´t want it back Cold hugs To fill the gap Where are the times Of walking straight Where are the times We had no breaks Our heart keeps barking Smells like lead Dying hugs We start to bleed Missing our rain coat Missing our roads Greeting strangers heavy load Melting rose Left alone Burning water Sinking stone Gave you a rose I don´t want it back Cold hugs To fill the gap

Things seem pretty lazy The moon is shining bright I think I have nothing left to lose But the times are getting stranger And I don´t get much clearer I just go outside to think when I´m low Loneliness just makes me cry Loneliness makes me survive So that I won´t beat my head against this broken wall Birds are surrounding me They start to sing a song I just go outside to think when I´m low I got myself a beer Because I couldn´t understand There was a gap in the ladder And I couldn´t follow them I tried so hard And I couldn´t resist I just go outside to think when I´m low What is going on with me When I´m alone but so strong Have I ever fooled myself to act stronger than I am Sometimes people are trapped by their insecurities I just go outside to think when I´m low

about

John Klirr Vienna, Austria

John Klirr pursues his onomatopoetic concept through his expressiveness and love for
linguistic detail. His lyrics redefine complex
discrepancies characterized by passion and remorse. A distinctive voice complimented with sophisticated compositions.
Where blues meets rock in the soul, jazzy accents blend in smoothly and provide a
harmonious balance between remorseful ballads and groovy songs.
