Set It Straight

If you want to feel like you’re indispensable
You should at least try to make yourself useful
If this is the best that you’re able to offer
Then maybe your expectations should be lower
It’s time to separate
What has worked from what has failed
It’s time to set matters straight
You’d like to make me feel like I am the bad guy
You reject my ideas so you don’t have to try
And when they succeed you credit them to yourself
You only live in the eyes of everyone else
It’s time to separate
What has worked from what has failed
It’s time to set things straight
And realize it’s getting late
Let’s set it all clear
See where it will lead
There are better things coming for me
Let’s get to the point
I can’t be your foil
I would be alright on my own
It’s time to separate
What has worked from what has failed
It’s time to set things straight
And realize it’s getting late
It’s time to separate
What was dumb from what was great
It’s time to set matters straight

Something Wrong

I caught a glance in your eyes
That is worth a thousand lies
I felt the tone of your voice
It was giving me no choice
The process has just begun
But I would rather be gone
We know the rules from the start
And I don't want to play this part
Don't you think that there's
Something going wrong?
How can I go on?
Don't you think that there's
Something wrong with me?
What more can I be?
You don't have to understand
That I'm tangled up in sand
Don't have to make things easier
You can wait another year
Doesn't matter if I'm stuck
Maybe it's all just bad luck
I can't make you change your mind
You shouldn't be wasting your time
Don't you think that there's
Something going wrong?
How can you go on?
Don't you think that there's
Something wrong with you?
What more can you do?

Stop

You tell me things that I’m not supposed to know
I could not believe that you’d let your guard this low
No one ever came to the point of telling you
That behaving this way was not the safest thing to do
Would you rather have me
Undermining all your tries?
Or do you want me to stop
Messing with your head?
And stop calling you at noon
I’d never hesitate to make you look like a fool
No compromise and there’s no way you’re free
The harder you try, you still got nothing on me
It always makes me laugh
The way I’m feeding you with lies
But you want me to stop
Messing with your head
And stop calling you at noon
I’d never hesitate
So you want me to stop
Messing with your head
And you want me to stop
Messing with your head
And stop calling you at noon
I’d never hesitate to make you look like a fool

Always Right

Sometimes I get out of my way
Be sure it’s for the greater good
You do not have a thing to say
I’d step in your face if I could
Just because I’m always right
Even when I should be wrong
I’m so out of sight
Only I know where I belong
It’s something that I don’t understand
Why don’t you just follow my lead
Because when you know where you stand
There’s nothing else you really need
Just because I’m always right
Even when I should be wrong
I’m so out of sight
Only I know where I belong
Give me your good, give me your bad
I’ll turn them into so much worse
There’s nothing that can make me sad
I’m not the one who bears a curse
Just because I’m always right
Even when I should be wrong
I’m so out of sight
Only I know where I belong

Back Against the Wall

Once certain that
No one could see
No one could notice
We’d make no waves
And claim our own
All the things we missed
Oh tell no lies
Is there no way to hide?
They hated us
They cursed our names
They gave us no choice
We tried our best
To make them pay
Not to be their toys
Oh tell no lies
There is no way we ever make it alive
We’ll be gone
With our backs against the wall
Sure we’re bound to fall
Nothing seems to matter at all
Oh tell no lies
There is no way we ever make it alive
We’ll be gone
With our backs against the wall
Sure we’re bound to fall
Nothing seems to matter at all

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.
