Your inability to deal with anything that causes a little sting Sets you aflame, fuels your anger, highlights the fact that you’re a wanker You’re convinced that the world owes you things It makes you think that you matter You’re nothing but the lowest of the low, just a sad pathetic little fuck Nothing but the lowest of the low, trapped inside your fragile ego The greater good, is what you claim to be your aim You fight with words, in your politics that are merely bags of tricks You grab a gun, so much fun, you’ll teach everyone But the fact remains, you’re in chains, tied up in bondage of hate You’re nothing but the lowest of the low, just a sad pathetic little fuck Nothing but the lowest of the low, trapped inside your fragile ego Chthonic devils - Empty inside Lame excuse for a human being Chthonic devils - want to divide Corrupt to your rotten little core Pale, stale and frail Sad, mad and useless You sad, pathetic little fuck You sad, pathetic little fuck

Her feet never touch the ground She doesn’t walk just floats around Her presence makes the air go still She makes you feel this is not against your will She has no equal / ‘cause she’s so regal Her breath so intoxicates She makes the lost celebrate Her looks cause the mind to thrill She makes unknown dreams fulfilled She has no equal / ‘cause she’s so regal ..when she enters the room All candles go out... ...the sound of gasping breaths Secret glances, so devout... Her touch warms bones through skin She lights your face with a grin Her voice cuts through stone She lets you come with a groan She has no equal / ‘cause she’s so regal Her eyes are as black as coal She sees the holes in your soul Her wish is your command She knows you’ll understand She has no equal / ‘cause she’s so regal ..when she enters the room All candles go out... ...the sound of gasping breaths Secret glances, so devout... She’s Baudelaire’s oasis of horror In our desert of boredom We all quench our thirst In our final act antemortem Inhale Exhale Inhale Exhale Inhale fire Exhale woe Inhale fire Exhale gloom Inhale fire Exhale grief Inhale fire Exhale ache She’s Baudelaire’s oasis of horror In our desert of boredom We all quench our thirst In our final act antemortem Inhale Exhale Inhale Exhale Inhale fire Exhale ache Inhale fire Exhale ache Inhale fire Inhale fire Inhale fire Exhale life

Step into the light Make yourself be known Step onto the stage And make it your own Make your whole body move Make your body werk Put some bass in your butt Add some swag to your strut Everywhere: sissy that walk! Too much bulge? Do a tuck Slay: every toxic gaze Yass Queen: your powerful phrase Purse first Purse first Purse first Purse first Sing your song You glamazon Sing it Sing it Be that fierce Queen Be that fierce Queen Be that fierce Queen Be that fierce Queen Shantay you stay Shantay you stay Shantay you stay Haters - shashay away! Yass Queen! You better werk! Werk it! Werk it! Werk it! (...miss Vanjie...)

Je vindt het overal In elk klein gebaar Nee er bestaat geen mal Niet een kant en klaar Een trillend kwantumveld Maar dan wel uniek Het gaat niet om geld Nee het draait om muziek Je vindt het in de kieren van het leven Diep in de vezels van het bestaan Een onzichtbare lijn in waarheid geschreven Heel het universum is mijn kompaan Het is een Lucifer Licht in het donker Een Kippie bijna blind Bang maar toch bemind Een Iggor en een Max Rattamahattax Het leven heeft een eind en is daarom juist verfijnd Je vindt het in de kieren van het leven Diep in de vezels van het bestaan Een onzichtbare lijn in waarheid geschreven Heel het universum is mijn kompaan Wat wil je dan man Wil je nog meer dan Kijk om je heen dan Is het dan nooit genoeg Wil je een plan dan Kijk om je heen man Wat wil je dan man Kijk om je heen man Wat wil je dan man Kijk om je heen dan Wil je nog meer dan Is het dan nooit genoeg

Wolf Man 03:20
Wolf Man howling harrowed heartfelt cries Wolf Man yearning for a place of understanding Wolf Man show the place that I don’t want to see Wolf Man take me where I am afraid to be Pounding In my head In my heart And in my bed Pounding In my head In my heart And in my bed It's pounding in my head And in my heart And in my bed It's pounding in my head And in my heart And in my bed In in my head In my heart In my bed A pack of white wolves is staring straight at me Their yellow eyes form a gateway to a time When I felt I was crawling in a bowl of ashes I am eight years old again and now realise the change Brought upon me against my will Acceptance of the fact has set me free in a way But it’ll stay with forever and a day Forever Forever Forever Forever and a day

about

"Most people spend their entire lives trying to avoid friction. Somewhere along the way, I found in myself a desire, a calling, to embrace friction, tension, transitions, changes… to work with them. You don't really need to be a mathematician or a psychic to understand that life is change. Life is friction. (...) embrace that idea of friction and work toward a solution — a life-affirming resolution. For me, that's kind of what life is; life is working towards those resolutions." - Maynard James Keenan

Being is process. Moving from what was to what will be.
Life happens in the in-between stages. In realms of potentialities.
We are all forever becoming, in and through interstitial processes of friction.

'Frictional' (September 2023) is the third EP by the Amsterdam based band Kitty Hawk. It's an accompanying piece to the 'Interstitial' EP released in April of the same year.
