We also produced it ourselves, in between the Covid-safe concerts we did for the neighbors cows.

Tonight I can't control myself I feel like I'm someone else A sinner who fears the end So scared of regret, my friend I'm down on my knees, but why? Tonight There won't be wrong or right Trust me and close your eyes Take what you want Tonight Lost Your patience not enough Stop faking, like you're so tough You tell me you earned my trust But I never believed in a ghost Nothing is what it seems Come on it’s no surprise I’m down on my knees But why Tonight There won't be wrong or right Trust me and close your eyes Take what you want Tonight So now It's time we follow through You know You know what we gotta do Tonight Take what you want tonight Tonight There won't be wrong or right Trust me and close your eyes Take what you want Tonight Tonight Take what you want Tonight Tonight

You sit around on your mountains of cash You're feeding off a disease A smug look and a grin on your face Why would I join your feast You're just one, one in a few Who really knows the game You point your finger And you get it today You say «My daddy, My daddy will pay» How would you know about the world outside You're cruel You selfish fool How would you know about the people in need Those who bleed Pays for your greed You have the money but you have no taste And you just hide if it rains A spray tan and a Botox face Ain’t gonna cover the stains Is life a game we win or we loose And who decides the rules I have no answer but I dare you to choose Don't play this game no more How would you know about the world outside You're cruel You selfish fool How would you know about the people in need Those who bleed Pays for your greed Your mama used to tell you Always try to understand While daddy always told you Go and take it all ‘Cause now you're in the promised land How would you know about the world outside You're cruel You selfish fool How would you know about the people in need Those who bleed Pays for your greed How would you know about the world outside You're cruel You selfish fool How would you know about the people in need Those who bleed Pays for your greed

Shining bright I saw the light I'm on my knees So much shame Just washed away I want to scream A sober night I close my eyes One last time Waiting for The prefect song To take me down Into the darkness of my own Fantasy Watch the falling leaves Of my jagged and selfish dreams Shining bright I saw the light I'm on my knees So much shame Just washed away I want to scream We could pretend That in the end We'll be just fine But what we are Are falling stars Falling fast Into the darkness of your own Fantasies Come watch the falling leaves Of my jagged and selfish dreams Shining bright I saw the light I'm on my knees So much shame Just washed away I want to scream Well Have you asked yourself why Is it really that wise to pretend Have you seen your demons yet? Well look no further then Is all this madness your fault? Does it matter if all this would end? Have you seen your demon yet? Why won't you kill it then? Nowhere to go, but further down So wish me luck, this time around I wanna know it all What are we living for? They say that we should raise the bar Never be content with who we are That’s what you gotta do What are we living for? Shining bright I saw the light I'm on my knees So much shame Just washed away I want to scream Shining bright I saw the light I'm on my knees So much shame Just washed away I want to scream

about

Ask Carol Auma, Norway

Based out of the Norwegian mountain community Auma, comes the grungy alt-pop duo Ask Carol. Ask Carol is a high energy power- duo with a big sound. Multitasking is their middle name. Two guitars, drums, a synth, a drum machine and an unique splitting system for Carol's guitar, makes this two-piece sound like a full band. Their sound can be fierce and mean, then suddenly turn soft and comforting. ... more
