Let It Sink

Once you are ready to decide all
That you will never do again
Right at this time something’s gonna change
You’ll have to remake all your plans
You may wonder what’s the point to it all
Why wouldn’t you just let it all fall
It’s all the same anyway don’t you think
After all why not just let it sink
And if anybody tells you that
Whatever works for them is fine
Remember where they come from you’ll see
It’s the other side of the line
You may wonder what’s the point to it all
Why wouldn’t you just let it all fall
It’s all the same anyway don’t you think
After all why not just let it sink

Bound To Disappoint

Know what is expected of you
Know what everyone has led you to want to do
Always keep a smile on your face
Always have a kind word in spite of the disgrace
And the sickening way you are pushed back in your place
You let me dictate the way you feel
You let me make you bow down and kneel
I make my special point
Of being always bound to disappoint
Wait for a sign that never comes
You expect me to notice something that you have done
Take care of others not yourself
There will be no trophy gathering dust on your shelf
Because none of this will matter to anyone else
You let me dictate the way you feel
You let me make you bow down and kneel
I make my special point
Of being always bound to disappoint
Shut out the lights and you will see
What you slave away in just doesn’t matter to me
And you’ll never achieve whatever can set you free
I never need what you keep on giving
Realize it’s your reason for living
You reach your breaking point
When you’re always bound to disappoint

Every Day

Every day
I feel I’m
Torn apart
Ground to dust
Anyway
Unable
To do all
That I must
Everything
That I loved
Ain’t that good
Anymore
All that used
To be so great has now become such a bore
Nothing makes
Any sense
No one knows
What it takes
To make my
Limbs grow back
To take my
Breath again
Everything
That I loved
Ain’t that good
Anymore
All that used
To be so great should not be such a bore

A Tool For Scorn
03:13
|

The voice in the sky tells me I’m right
If you can’t hear it, that’s not my plight
It gives me something you cannot get
The gift of not being a target
If you’re not like me
(Then you should be wrong)
If you don’t agree
(There’s no way you belong)
Don’t be so surprised
(Don’t think you’re clever)
That no one’s on your side
(You should know better)
Nothing can beat the place I was born
It gives me power, a tool for scorn
It provides me with a family
Where everyone thinks just like me
If you don’t like it
(There’s something wrong with you)
If you don’t admit
(You just don’t have a clue)
Don’t be so surprised
(Don’t think that you’re smart)
That no one’s on your side
(That you are left apart)

You Belong Here
03:05

Did you believe you were free?
Your choice is not your choice
No one will hear your voice
If you let go of your leash
You will deserve your lot
What happens is your fault
With boundaries unclear
The list of your fears
Is getting longer every year
Stay pure at all cost
What matters the most
Is what we’ll make sure will get lost
You belong
You belong here
Your flesh is not your property
Bought and sold all the same
Don’t even own your name
What you experience
Your meager defense
There’s nothing that makes any sense
For those who just hear
A logic so clear
That’s even enforced by your peers
You belong
You belong here
You belong to us
You belong to us
You belong to us
Look down in shame
You belong to us
Look down in shame
You belong

Split of a Second

Somewhere the alarm’s off
Yet does it register?
The data went straight to your guts
This couldn’t be faster
You don’t know what it’s like
You don’t know what it’s like
You don’t know what it’s like, do you?
Now you run for your life
Now you run for your life
Now you run for your life, will you?
No time to realize
No time to realize
No time to realize what it leads to
You just don’t have the time
You just don’t have the time
You just don’t have the time to think it through
And lights become a blur
And faces disappear
It’s over in a split of a second
Not long enough to fear
Now you know what it’s like
Now you know what it’s like
Now you know what it’s like, do you?
Did you run for your life?
Did you run for your life?
Did you run for your life, did you?
No time to realize
No time to realize
No time to realize what it leads to
You just don’t have the time
You just don’t have the time
You just don’t have the time to think it through

Zankerfeld Paris, France
Zankerfeld is my solo project, in which I write, play and sing mostly everything, though more people are being involved
lately.
I used to be a member of Mond/green, The Skeletonz and Naphta.
In my spare time, I play guitar for Alex Le Play and for Olivier Rocabois.
I hope you will enjoy those songs as much as I enjoyed recording them.
