You Do The Talking
Can you leave the door ajar?
I’m scared of the dark when I’m alone
Just promise that you won’t stray too far
I need the company
I’ll hold on when you decide
For the both of us that it is time
I won’t let you leave the premises
Don’t leave me alone in here
And when you turn the lights off
I’m gonna keep you awake at night
Yeah, when you’re gone I’ll wake up everyone
When I’m left to my own devices
My brain is my biggest enemy
Just me and my own battle for sanity
Let’s strike up a conversation
You do the talking and I’ll sit here
Just listening to your soothing voice
Obliterate my fears
Just fill up my head with love
One could just never have enough
Whisper sweet nothings ‘till I sleep
& then you’re ok to leave
I’m depending on you

There’s A Schnitzel In My Pocket
Drinking whiskey from a paper bag behind a dumpster
Here’s to the weekends when we were a little younger
Hard to tell the difference between a bum and
The boys after a night of alcohol and plunder
Did I ever learn to not drink all the leftover alcohol?
No I didn’t, I just slept it off and
Hit restart before the coming weekend
These demons of my past need exercise again
Gang mentality is dumb as fuck yeah
But when you’re drunk it has a certain schwung
There’s a schnitzel in my pocket and I don’t know where I am
When was the exact moment that we became adults man?
I’m bored as fuck and I’m still not in mint condition
The lousy hangovers got even worse now
A normal thinking person would probably stay out of this town

Something Loud
I guess through art is how I’ll live forever
But from the start I knew that this was not my goal
I might sound stupid when you ask for guidance
But I sure flourish when you need another song
If you need some words or melodies
I’m here right now
If you need your thoughts in a harmony
I’ll figure it out somehow
Be ready for something loud
I can answer all the emails you need
I can even do the dishes pretty well
I could try to change that broken lightbulb
But if I fail don’t put me in a holding cell
Don’t let me rain on your parade
If this is not what you desire
I’ll be the first to walk away
And set this lyric sheet on fire
Watch it burn, I’ll comfort you
Just know I’m here

Bathroom Breaks
Breaking news, coming in
Joe The Plumber’s full of sin
And he refuses to let go
Take it all on the chin
Populism’s the new thing
For neighbor Bob. If you’re different, then you’re fucked.
This isn’t just a phase
It’s a rerun of a
Show we have watched for days
Without bathroom breaks and I’ve
Come to conclusions that
In this day and age
This should be repealed by the FCC
Hit the trenches, hide yourself
Then regroup the better half
Don’t tolerate intolerance
If you do; it’s on you
The mistrust and hate will spiral
Out of control, just stay in your bloody hole
Show me your plan, don’t just stand there
Please do something

The Answer Is Zero
Accept, adapt, thank father time
Moving faster everyday I’m alive
You can’t hit reset. Wish we could but this
Single player RPG’s all we got
Our lives are flawed
There are things that we do that just might
Be better off alone
Until we invent the restart button
You just need not ponder too much
Your life happens while you’re doing the math
On how much you should spend worrying
The answer is zero, to be correct

Scapegoat
I don’t want to be the one that laughs at you
But your insecurity’s adorable
You’re the right person for the job, you know this right?
I don’t want to tell you what to do right now
Chances are that you know better anyhow
I’m gonna leave you with your thoughts
And if you need me just speak & I will listen
Give me your thoughts and I’ll repeat them back to you
Give me a reason for your doubts
I’ll let you know if something’s off, but hey; for now…
Don’t deny yourself to guide you through this
Should we look for a common enemy?
Someone to hate when all just goes to shit?
But if you’d rather have me as a scapegoat
please just unload and I will listen

Ode To The Sun V2
Dear sun,
The last few days I held a grudge
I held you accountable for what went down that tragic day
I know I was wrong
It’s not your fault for being there
The wrong time & the wrong town
So please just stay
Illuminate the darkest days ahead
Fluorescent tubes for all the spots you missed
When the moon is out we’ll stay in bed
So keep shining or we’ll never get past this
Dear sun,
There’s nothing else that you can do
The months ahead will be the hardest we’ve ever had
But we’re tough as nails
This broken heart is comfort too
It’s a reminder that we know our soul’s intact

Groundhog Day Groundhog Day Groundhog Day
I know you felt this way before
But do you really want to dwell on pivotal things?
If you could just as well be you
Without dependency on stuff that makes you feel bad
Everything feels like a slow decay
He’s trying harder not to fall from grace & wondering if this should be it
You might not like the words I sing
But it is time to start thinking about the future
You wonder what tomorrow brings
When it is you that does the grocery shopping

Timmy D & The Art Of Postponing
Don’t you push me, that’s counterproductive
I need to breathe, this ain’t constructive
Procrastination, I’ll do it later
Procrastination, but not right now
Don’t scream; show me your perspective
Stay in your lane; you’re being disruptive
I’m not on the clock

Too Far South
I couldn’t believe that things could go my way
I’d rather give up and waste away my day
Just staying inside and fart into the couch
And try to prevent things from going too far south
I wouldn’t take risks and do what I was told
With a pair of aces I’d still probably fold
But the cards were right there, I just had to grow a pair
I think that I was stuck inside a wannabe until now
I still can’t believe that that was me back then
Just feeling sorry for myself with no end
All I had to do was live outside my head
And work on the dreams that I’d already planned
And sure, I still dream yeah but if it's good enough
I’ll try to succeed and do the things I love
Yeah the cards were right there, I just had to grow a pair
I was wrong, simple math, anything can happen here
It’s gonna be me, try and see where this will end
One foot in the grave? Well the other’s gonna dance
I might just be a fuckup for eternity, but that’s ok

Numb Skull (This One’s For You, Stephen Miller)
That’s just not how you’re supposed to act
Weren’t you ever told to use your head?
Your chain of thought was poisoned by your hate
Your black heart should just disintegrate
Take a breather, now we’re getting somewhere baby!
The final chapter is a big one and that’s ok
Heavy reading doesn’t keep us from exposing you
Come on, do the twist. Yeah, why stop now?
Dance, you little bitch, and make us proud
Antisemitism’s horrible
But this sure isn’t it you big numb skull
Take a bow and catch the fastest bullet train
Don’t leave an address, just erase yourself
Heavy breathing from the joy that is forgetting you
You’re in big trouble, hate to burst your bubble
Numb skull we see you, nowhere you can run to

Ricochet
It’s nothing, just a ricochet
I’ll manage if you can promise me
When I am going out of bounds
If I’m missing; just go to the lost and found
And I’ll be there patiently awaiting
And if you feel something needs debating
Just know I’ll pick your side
I’ll always have your side
Full color isn’t always right
The grey makes me able to sleep at night
The memory doesn’t need to be
Present at all times; set this mind at ease

Feed Me Distraction
This is the first day. Or is it the last day?
Mind’s going nowhere; stuck screaming mayday
Time for some action, so feed me distraction
Desperately clinging to things that are gone
Compulsive insomnia
Words are redundant but loudness is golden
Aiming for first place disturbance disorder
Come one, come all and bring all you have left
The brutal affections left us all bereft
So where do we go from here?
Don’t you know, we’ll all be fine
It just might take a little while
Oh father; where art thou? We’re off to the movies
Mourning sneak previews, I’d rather sleep in, please
Time for commercials, let’s do dress rehearsals
Desperately clinging to reality
Horror Wednesday cinema

Perspective’s The Keyword
It’s a tradition! It defines me, I’m appalled
You seek to change it, have some heart. It’s not my fault
I’m not trying to make you cry
But please understand it’s in our right
To fight for what I feel is ruining my childhood
It’s not racist to me, I never understood
Why you’re pushing us aside
Why can’t you just let this one slide?
This ain’t freedom; this is a way to cope
With racist bullshit. You are the only hope
So change your views, this doesn’t make you look weak at all
With all your protests it is hard to understand
How your position is oppression & you vent
To let us know you’ll fight
Well we fight back so run and hide
I get your chain of thought
Inside your bubble it is hard to see it
Perspective’s the keyword
Cuz this is not something that we both deal with
Time to change it up

Tim van Doorn Antwerp, Belgium
I hate writing a bio since it feels dumb to write one about yourself, but I don't have the funds to pay someone else to do
it.
Hi, I'm Tim. I own a studio in Antwerp where I spend a lot of time making music with friends. Sometimes I make music of my own. Right now I'm working towards releasing a new E.P.
Hope you dig it!
Thanks for listening.
Cheers,
Bob.
