When you remember all the things
That you were planning on leaving
And when you think about the time
When you thought you were in your prime
You know they're buried in the past
Those memories are fading fast
An opportunity to call
A chance not to lose it all
This will not wait until later
What doesn't kill you makes you weaker
Even if you feel diminished
Your journey is not finished
When your legs do not carry you
And when you can't seem to get through
Just sort those you get on your boat
And trust them to keep you afloat
This will not last any longer
What doesn't kill you makes you weaker
You still have time to take the best
And not to care about the rest

Parallel

Did you come by my place late at
Night and did you find my door closed
Did you dare to call
You didn't dare to call
Usually we'd share a drink and
We'd talk until the morning rose
And that would be all
Business as usual
This time you were alone
This time the alley was dark
Just go back to your home
Avoid the shadows in the park
Maybe I was just asleep or
Maybe I was not alone
Maybe another day
There'll be another day
This time you were alone
This time the alley was dark
Just go back to your home
Just avoid the shadows that dwell
Inside the well
Inside the core
That I ignore
That live in your cells
We have lived our lives in parallel
So long that when you're gone
I'm still inside your hell
No one else can tell
This time you were alone
This time the alley was dark
Just go back to your home
Just avoid the shadows that dwell
Inside the well
Inside the core
That I ignore
That I know too well

Well Done

Would you say you really did expect
How it all would soon unfold
It's not fair to judge in retrospect
Those who didn't do as told
Well done, you just did lie
About what motivates
Anything that you try
It's all grounded in hate
Despite what you would claim
All your great arguments
Barely disguise your thirst
For making words all bent
Their meanings made absurd
If they just serve your aims
Would you act as if anyone else
Is as greedy as you are
Not ashamed to be passing yourself
Off as the real victim in this war
Well done, there's no excuse
For anything you did
Reason is out of use
In the land of stupid
Right in front of our eyes
My only hope is that
People can see through you
That they can tear apart
The curtains that you drew
To try and hide your lies

Need to Find Out
03:36

There are words that you cannot understand
There are things that are well beyond your command
Whether or not you're ready to admit
That what makes you react doesn't really matter just one bit
Oh tell me
What makes you
Mad at something so meaningless
I need to find out
What makes you
See me as
A threat to your self consciousness
I need to find out
It's so hard to believe someone could find
In all this a danger to their peace of mind
Or could it be the respect you demand
Is precisely something that you can't seem to keep in your hand
Oh tell me
What turns you
Against a thing so defenseless
I need to find out
What makes you
See me as
A threat to your self consciousness
I need to find out
What is it you see
That makes you so angry
Oh tell me
What turns you
So angry that you just cannot contain yourself
I need to find out
What makes you
See me as
A threat to your self consciousness
I need to find out
Why you are so scared
Of something that's harmless

My body's a feast for your eyes
Come and take a look
Watch me get rid of my disguise
The beatings that I took
I made them mine, what can you do
Take a look and come
How do you like me with that hairdo
Caught in a foursome
I
Don't
Mind
What you think of
Who I have become
They think I'm down for anyone
I still have my rules
Maybe I do look pretty dumb
Is that forbidden too
I have to trust who goes inside
And know where they are from
Am I allowed just to decide
In whose spit I can drown
You
Scorn
Me
Your reasons are
No better than mine
My only fault
Speaking out loud
Answering taunts
You won't
Let me
Breathe anymore
You are so right
You know the score
You won't rest 'till I die
Let's toss the bitch aside
Don't let her decide

Final Phase
02:55
|

Watching a new dawn rising
The sun a slightly different shade
Casting shadows that you don't recognize
It's the land of the living
It's the country of the dead
Where the songs we sing are all full of lies
We have reached the final phase
What's left to discover
Nothing remains, nothing's changed
There's no more forever
And so what about you then
You are the same after all
Are you able to go out of your lair
Will you walk throughout this land
Or will you just trip and fall
Crushed under the deadly weight of the air
We have reached the final phase
What's left to discover
Nothing remains, nothing's changed
There's no more forever

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.
