Lie Right Now
Do as you please, feel any better?
Don’t be surprised: the gloves are off
Your cross to bear, don’t be too religious
Anyone can go; art of the deal
Don’t forget that everything is coming back
And we don’t want to see that face again
Our alibis, lost in translation
We’re all alone, together now
Leave what you can & take what you can carry
My fellow men are heavy, I’ll go alone
Don’t forget that everything is coming back
We don’t want to see that face again
It’s been said that all of us are under attack
well I don’t want to feel this way again
Look, I don’t want to see it through; I sure don’t want to be you
I’m hitting unsubscribe right now, I don’t want to read it
I will not believe it; I’d take a white lie right now.
So lie right now.
If all of this is yours please think of the future
Sarcasm off; you know this right?
We see the news, we hear them talking
Don’t shut us out, we want the truth

I’ve Been Asleep
She takes the two or six; whichever one comes first
She’s got her nine to five, a regular on the bus
Do you remember all the times when it felt wrong here?
Do you remember anything?
She left her family though she’s still there in her mind
And although she moved out, she still visits from time to time
Do you remember all the times I said I need you?
Do you remember anything?
She knows I’ve been asleep for 25 years
She’s like an alarm clock, the only one to wake me up
So far beyond skin deep, I’m so glad she took me here
I’ve been a schmuck with all the things I’ve put her through
I couldn’t be the me that I tried to construe
Do you remember when you said things will get better?
Do you remember anything?
I do remember all the times when you were stronger
I do remember everything

So Far From Flawless
Take a moment to breathe
Don’t worry about the rest of society
Tell me, are you happy?
Do you feel like what you’re doing is what you need to feel alive?
Do you feel like you’re being judged for who you are?
Because I’m pretty sure that no-one cares about you.
And that’s a positive thing.
Just live for you, because that’s the only thing you should do
At the end of the day
If you’re content who gives a fuck if they are too?
Do you feel alive or are you walking with the dead?
Because I’m pretty sure that they don’t care about that.
Just don’t feel bad, you’re better than that
Get out of bed and enjoy the time ahead (enjoy your time)
Naked and helpless, you’re so far from flawless
Stop caring for trivial stuff
A vicious circle is hard to get out from
Try harder not trying to change
Stop staying the same
What you hold dear to your heart
Redirect your attention span
Just go out and have fun; inexpensiveness’ a plus
Just be alive!
There’s a time and place to worry about the rent
But I’m pretty sure that’s not today, my friend.

I still feel you when I close my eyes
I still hear your grumpy moans at night
And no one's ever taking that away
From me
When I see your picture I still cry
The tears are something I won't hide
You were so much more than just a dog
To me
Your heart knew it was time
But mine cannot accept
No more drool on shirts,
I'm so glad that we've met
6 years are far too short
I'll try to understand
Don't cry because it's over
Smile because it happened
I don't believe in afterlife
But when I hear another dog outside
I can only hope you're in a better place than the last
Few weeks
I still see you running in the fields
I still feel you breathing close to me
I need a hug but you are nowhere near
Near me
The memories will never die
I'd kill to have you by my side
I hope your final breath was peaceful
Don’t leave us without you here.

Girl, you crack me up every time
that I wake up and you just moan and yawn
Begging to go out for a walk
Stretching your legs, saying “it’s time for fun outside!”
Come on, wake up and make yourself useful!
The sun’s been up for hours, put that leash around my neck
Yeah, I’ve been dying to see you
I’ll never let you out of my sight, well, until tonight
So you’re a pageant queen from Greece now?
I’ll bike you anywhere if you sit still
The floor is lava is not a real thing (turn around; do the moonwalk)
No need for pillows on the bedroom floor, your highness
You’ll walk for hours and be far from done
You’ll have just begun and it’s the same for me
Thank you for trying to get me into shape and the way you make me feel

Van Doorn, Tim
Let me talk and refuse to listen
Because what I’m saying isn’t good
Being me? Being creative?
It’s just trading melodies for food
I’m not complaining.
(Yes I am: how can I keep making the rent?)
I’m not bitter.
(Well, not today but that does vary from day to day)
And no one knows my name or the art I’ve made
Have I been wasting away?
I’ve been going insane. Oh, existential pain.
Have I been wasting away every day?
Let me be for just a second
Until I find myself again
Cuz when I do, everything will
Find its place inside my head
If I’m complaining I’m really not
Life is good, my brain is fucked
I’m not bitter, why should I?
I’m no longer stuck in a rut

The World On Your Own
Tell me this isn’t what you thought of it
Life changing scenes sure have a way with us
And do you really want to stay?
Build this life in our own way, love?
Things will go wrong eventually, I’m sure
We’ll sit it out and come out way stronger
It’s just the question “do you feel
like this is where we’re supposed to be, love?”
Food for thought, without you I’d still be home
in a spare bedroom at my parents' place
and you’d be gone; off to see the world on your own
I’ll take you out for dinner anytime
you feel the world has given you a sign
That you should just stop and relax
Veggie sushi then works best, love

Know-it-all
I try to be someone that I still like ten years from now.
And I hope I’m right with most of my decisions.
I hope I don’t lose you but knowing this for sure is something I do not.
Are you really here to stay?
Oh, you might look at me now & hope that one of these days I might change
Well don’t believe me love
I’ve been fighting the same mistakes for years
If I come across as a know-it-all, it’s not who I am…
Or who I want to be.
20 years from now, when we’re old and wrinkly,
Will you look any different at me?
I’ve never been a looker. Yeah, I know I’m not.
But I sure hope that some parts of me aren’t that bad.
It can’t just be my witty charm.

Pay Per View
Take what you need while I’m falling asleep
Not a care in the world; they all seem to have disappeared
Take all you want, I’ve lost the will to fight
Hop in this sinking ship and abandon civil rights
The reality show sure feels like pay per view
When every time it airs we’re losing something new
A small piece of our soul for never speaking up
Some bickering online does not change that we’re fucked
I don’t know your name
I’d sure like to find out
We might just be alike if you’re as horrified as I am.
So now the number one looks like a number two.
This self-proclaimed saintlike speaks to all that just approve
I watched his show today and I felt like it was staged
Abandon sanity and watch it sail away

The Loudest Words

The loudest words
Speak up! Let the loudest words be ours
Take a stand for our cause, don’t turn away
Don’t stop cause the majority says so
The majority is wrong; this ends today
If we dare to fall we will jump much higher
If we dare to bleed we will reveal ourselves as fighters
If we dare to hear, our convictions will grow stronger
If we dare to lose we’ll set all the hate on fire
I’m done with turning page after page
about the shameful human race; where is the good?
Let’s start seeing common life as art
Bring the hippie years of love and peace back for good
Share what you can, it’s everything you need

Show & Tell

Show and tell
When nobody speaks up then no one hears the truth
If nothing ever gets done, then who’ll know right from wrong?
The knight in shining armor, made from tin and not from steel
By the grace of populism, from sea to shining sea
It’s not a foreign thing, the pattern’s here as well
And it’s no cardinal sin; it’s just a show and tell
When no one minds the bullocks then no one hears the truth
Our leaders are in a whore-off and the winner isn’t you
When nowhere near is shelter then head for what is here
There’s pulp on television, looking better than our fears
I’m trying not to think too much about my phone
because every time I look, the world it might be blown to bits
and nobody cared about it

Skin Deep
This “pay for nothing, take what you can, fuck all” mentality.
Sure does feel good, although it should trigger some humanity.
Should we take it slow or just take it all?
When all you trust is the comedian…
Then don’t you think that our priorities are wrong?
Is there a reason why we think as a collective? Tell me.
Because I don’t think that this will get us anywhere
“Talk shit? Get hurt. New phone? Me first.” -We follow the latest trends.
Try not to read, just watch TV as long as it’s not the news
Underneath the skin there is still some left of me
Underneath the skin; no one’s gonna find me here

Who We Are
Do you think that anything will change?
Land some shitty job and waste the days?
Well I might be wrong but I think that you are wrong
I believe that the important stuff will stay the same
So repeat after me “this is who we’re going to be.
Who we are, right here, right now, today.”
I just love the way you call me out
When I pretend I’m not stressed in the car
In the parking lot I just thought that you forgot
To take all the time you need, we got all day
Honey, you’ll do fine; you’ll turn water into wine
The skyline of this city, it needs your face
Your face
We need your face
So, do you think that anything will change?

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.
