April is the brightest month Lighting memory and desire April glares in all her glory Shining on the other side Like a whisper in your ear She draws you to her radiance outside Can't you hear? April reaches for your soul, She fuels your fire with her breeze Waking long-lost memories From an unending winter sleep She reignites abandoned dreams you left for dead out in the cold So don't you think it's about time To take care of the flame in your heart Maybe you forgot, but it's been there since you were young Do you remember it burning? Can't you feel the warm returning? Keep the hope alive With your newfound flame inside And don’t let it ever fade Not even when the rain pours down Please make it sure it won't die out Winter’s gone and you survived. Embrace April, step outside, Spread your fire in the world. Now it's about time To take care of the flame in your heart Maybe you forgot, but it's been there since you were young Do you remember it burning? Can't you feel the warm returning? Keep your hope alive Your everlasting flame inside Spread your fire in the world

I'm committed to a reflection On anxiety and depression Based on several reports From a daily combat zone So many different stories to be told A unifying thread Made of all the strength Endurance and resilience In anyone fighting Every day in the raging war inside It takes some guts To stand the battlefield When you can never leave, Nor go AWOL or retreat. No peace at all. Wherever you may go Whatever you may do The enemies are there Inside of you Their operation's set, a constant wave of charges that will drive you to the edge And in time – their aim is more than clear – They expect you to surrender, counting on your desperation and your fear And yet you're still there, you made it this far. I know it may sound cold comfort to you, but day after day you keep pulling through You refuse to go down, and maybe you'll never be fine, but you're still clinging on to your life So, bear this in mind, no matter how this war will end, you should be goddamn proud of yourself Now look at your chest, you'll see something carved on your heart it's your grit in the shape of a star Yeah, it's made of scars, but it's what defines who you are, an award to your valor that no one can deny

"You remember we invited you on Thursday? Yeah well, don't come, stay home." "Paul, best wishes for your wedding! Who's there? Father Campus? Come drink with us!" "Volleyball is a sport for assholes Tam, tam, tam, tom." "No one gives a shit about geography And someone please explain why all the rivers flow into the Ionian Sea" It's been ten years since you are gone And we've been missing you so much from day one We keep rewatching your best of through and through Football will never be the same without you "First of all, the person that phoned earlier He made some serious allegations against me, But we keep track of all the calls we get, So we've had him arrested, he's already in jail." "Mom please help me it's so hard, It's already been eleven hours." "He told me in a funny way that I'm a shitty Leaguer Well, I swear I'm not a Leaguer, especially not a shitty one"

They're burning history books in the city Just like they did in the past they thought that everything would be easier if they reset their brains to the core Like donkeys on a cart with a carrot on a stick forgetting every second of everything you lived you're running out of topics so here's a tv screen do you really come from the monkeys? 'cuz I was there when you partied with the cops and I was there when you reconsidered fascism another wasted chance to prove your opposable thumb whoo oh oh I was there when you couldn't find Switzerland on the map and you were messing up religions and nations I think I've mentioned it some times before I wish I didn't have to share my air with you anymore Laying there in a puddle of your urine You're scared by everything you see Your tweets are worried and the government don't care You want everyone to be aware Like donkeys on a cart with a carrot on a stick forgetting every second of everything you lived you're running out of topics so here's a tv screen do you really come from the monkeys? 'cuz I was there when you partied with the cops and I was there when you reconsidered fascism another wasted chance to prove your opposable thumb whoo oh oh I was there when you couldn't find Switzerland on the map and you were messing up religions and nations I think I've mentioned it some times before I wish I didn't have to share my air with you anymore

No better way to end the day Than showing off in our cosplay A carefully crafted disguise To cover up our sad demise "Punk is not dead" We keep repeating to ourselves Oh, I wholeheartedly agree It just turned into oil for the machine Here's a reminder: we were supposed to be the untamed and free The rebel heroes Well, it seems to me We're left with the costumes and no identity So we pretend that it's ok Not to look at how things have changed It's not the 90s anymore I'm sorry but that world is gone I understand It's easier not to doubt ourselves And play a righteous Justice League But like a sitcom version on TV Second reminder: I always thought our only commitment should be to truth Is it still like that? I am not so sure I need to see how deep this rabbit hole goes I hate to act like I'm alright And to pretend everything's fine I played along but it's been on my mind each and every day I look around and I don't know Where is my home anymore So maybe it's time for me to pack and wave goodbye and walk away It's time to walk away

about

This is where we are right now. It's been a few rough years, but we guess it's been the same for everyone else. We lost some people on the way, along with some hope, we grew older, more cynical and disillusioned. We're living through the postmodern era and the end of the end of history. But we're alive, we have things to say, we still can have fun and we can even find some motivation. Yes, sometimes we get tired. But we are still here, and this is our thing.
