I don’t want to be loved It hurts my head I don’t want to be broken It hurts my bones I don’t want to be loved It hurts my head I don’t want to be broken It hurts my bones “Hey man, is everything fine? Due to the blood you lost last time Can I help you or get you drink? Or do you wish to be alone and sink?” All the what ifs are missing out on what is Pathetic lies and a lot of broken promise All the what ifs are missing out on what is Pathetic lies and a lot of broken promise I don’t want to be loved It hurts my head I don’t want to be loved

sitting on a couch what am I doing? scrolling faces I’ve never seen there must be something else to help me to survive this night heartbreaker or heart broken what’s the catch? how should I know? icebreakers and love letters...nothing common in this digital whatever I like your vibes and all the music and movies you mentioned and all your answers to my boring questions how you’d like dinner and wine maybe sometimes we could go out and enjoy the night I promise I won’t fall in love all the should haves, could haves, would haves and the whatevers and then what if there is something we do together and the should bes, could bes, would bes until forever and then it turns out we’re bad and will not stay together You can be heart breaker it won’t matter You need to know we don’t have to rush cause my heart is broken I hope yours is wooden I promise I won’t fall in love You can be heart breaker it won’t matter You need to know we don’t have to rush cause my heart is broken I hope yours is wooden You are my digital crush Papapapapapapapapa... \_(ツ)_/¯

your cold coffee it’s next to the bed it’s been there four days since you’ve left You haven’t said good bye to it You haven’t said good bye to it what do I mean to you? what do I mean to others? what if it doesn’t matter? did anything matter at all? hello, I’ve been looking for you it’s not easy to find one’s self when the body is aching hello, tell me where you’ve been I’ve been looking for you but I've got tired of searching when written words that don't have letters tell me the truth on how i can get better then I wake with my mouth feeling bitter it cannot say anything but mutter: “You’re a lie” I keep telling myself what do I mean to you? what do I mean to others? what if it doesn’t matter? did anything matter at all? tell me now what should I do should I....? say good bye or do you want me to stay for the night or do you want me to say good bye or do you want me to stay for the night

"People aren’t supposed to look back. I’m certainly not
going to do it anymore. I’ve finished my war book now.
The next one I write is going to be fun. This one is a
failure, and had to be, since it was written by a pillar of
salt." - Kurt Vonnegut

---------------------------------------------------------------------

So...

I had a hard time thinking about whether I should
release these songs or not... However, I decided to go
with it, maybe I’ll regret it sometime in the future, who
knows...So it goes...

First of all, to be clear: I am not a musician. I think I am
a decent guitar player and an ok singer (I guess) and a
total amateur “recording person”. I don’t make music for
a living. I write songs because they help me to get by.
That’s the reason why these set of “anti-songs” are
called: therapy tapes.

Writing and recording music helps me to process the
things that happen to me. After the spine of a song is
ready most of the time I hit record and improvise the
rest - in many instances the vocals and lyrics were
done the same way this time. Anyways, maybe if
someone listens to them, it helps them to process the
things in their lives.

All in all, I hope you will enjoy them and thank you for
taking the time to listen to them!

"Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly;
Man got to sit and wonder 'why, why, why?'
Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land;
Man got to tell himself he understand."
