1. Eyescaled
Music & lyrics by Wolfgang Rhein

It’s funny how it’s only me who knows that’s not supposed to be
the way that things are happening right now,
And it’s funny how you’ve got no clue about how the world revolves around you
These scales will not fall from your eyes
The pacifying fact that we have never actually met is what just
keeps me up and keeping tabs on you from my kitty-cornered view

Sometimes it’s hard to see the clown that I appear to be
each time you could be close enough to accidently see me

Each night I watch you sitting all alone right by your window sill
and stare at how you sip your glass of wine
I’m not a dreamer, ain’t naive, but I believe that happy ends exist
although only in movies… the kinds of I don’t like

Sometimes it’s hard to see the clown that I appear to be
each time you could be close enough to accidently see me
It’s not that I ain’t used to disappointments
But constant drops of water now have worn away the stone

That blooming cactus in your window shows perfectly how this works:
So pretty that you wanna touch (it), but once you do it hurts
The stings stay deep, you don’t bleed, so no one sees the pain
If we finally meet in person… that cactus blooms again

I hope you’ll never see this clown that I appear
to be.
