Wake at 5, and cry to the truth that hides behind the ad. I try but still don’t understand the news on the radio. Before you COMATOSE. After the death of a president. You know, they’d never heard my name, and they don’t want to. I have panic attacks that hurts my back. When I have karmatose crisis, I think ‘let it go, let it…’ Jack of all trades, master of none. With knowing that I must die once, I have the patience to endure it now. Angels in a coma, dealing sleeping pills. I can’t remember my own name and I don’t want to. I wait for my heart to skip a beat. When I have karmatose crisis, I just think ‘let it go, let it…’

Silence 04:14
Waves knocking at my door Once again you left the door open The wind blows the candles out I’m so hungry, hungry Eating candies, sour beans While you turn off ‘Billie Jean’ You ain’t the girl I write songs about And no, I won’t sing the verses I don’t want to sing The verses every girl wants to hear The leafs are knocking at my door I don’t want to talk anymore The wind is my one and lonely song And silence is the one I want to learn rief could explain much more Once again you left the door open I don’t want any ‘sorry’ anymore I’m so angry, angry Punchin’ pumpkins, magic beans Accelerate between the meanings I try to write songs about And no, I won’t sing the verses I don’t want to sing The verses every girl wants to hear The grief is knocking at my door I don’t want to listen anymore Loneliness is my one and only song And silence is the one I want to learn

Even our dreams are lower than our expectations I never thought I could be so fucking tired. We think that we’re losing it. They hope we speak about love, they hope we talk about absolution but a blizzard is coming outdoors. That man can be a liar, that liar can be a thief. A swinger who can cheat on his own word. I think that I’m wasted. They want us to speak about hope, they need that we talk about revolution ‘cause a blizzard is coming outdoors.

Last Man 03:20
Burn the book Book a flight Fight for your way back home Home of the brave ? Braves aren’t welcome here anymore You fucked love I loved who you were You laughed at death You said life is a circle But girl, I’ve been there twice and I never liked it once. I lived in hell and I left it twice. A living hell ? Leave it. I tried to stay above the ground but I’m leaving once again. Draft first pick Pick a stick Stick it up your ass Assholes can be a life changer Bless them for what they’ve done to you I hate love I hate who I am Can’t laugh at death My life is a circle Girl, I’ve been there twice and I never liked it once.

The Lake 05:17
Far off the shore, I swim until I can’t breathe no more. For a lifetime loan, I rented a car with broken brakes. Far off the shore, I swim until I can’t breathe no more. Rotten to the core, I sleep though I can’t dream no more. It’s been a year, since we went to our nice funeral. A beautiful year, I didn’t even cry at my own funeral. It’s been a year, since we came back from our funeral. A beautiful year, drowned into the lake. Far off the shore, I swim until I can’t breathe no more. For a lifetime loan, I rented a car with broken brakes. Far off the shore, I swim until I can’t breathe no more. Far off the shore, I swim until I can’t breathe no more.

War dogs unleashed again War drums fi FIlling the air All bees disappear as one No more sugar honey baby in my bed We’re gonna win this war. Ants, pills, climbing my spine Sanctified holy economic war Cockroaches smart as fuck Too much horny babies in my head We know our war chants. Concrete beds, complete defeat. Here we stand, facing defeat. Behind our laptop, we’re gonna start a war. War drums beating the air War on drugs inspiring the heir Borders disappear as one No more sugar honey lady in my veins We know our war chants.

The Shelter 07:07
While the golden gate bridge is burning to the ground Air is getting’ rarefied again and the kings have lost their crowns While billions of refugees are looking for a swamp High degrees of lethargy urge the new accidents I smile, I’m happy. I can see the forest for the trees Watching the masquerades on the newest generation cell Get drunk and celebrate the God of the new Amistad The walls are getting higher built by dwarves and wishes of death High degrees of synergy impulse the new Occident I smile, I’m happy. I can see the forest for the trees I smile on TV. I can see a future for you and me Canned meat again… Lost and won’t be found Lost and found, bound, rebound and canned meat again Canned meat again, and canned meat again Lost and found, bound, rebound, bound rebound, lost and found

Calm down, kneel to your gods and fight like an Indian. Alone, I am. My sister is an alien. My neighbor works at the NSA. Tranx 10 gives me shiver to my spine. I was so fucked up, I failed the scheme… On Sundays, I crave the sunny days. Apache on the moon days, on mondays, I behave like a Banshee. Calm down, kneel to your gods. Don’t be sorry you left me, tied to a pole, too lonely to be alone. Calm down and kneel to your god. I wish I fight like an Indian. Sleepy all day. Awake in the night. My bones don’t belong to me. I fake my feelings like the dad I don’t want to be. I wish I fight and die like an Indian. I know people get really bored with me so...

about

UNSTAK France

UNSTAK was meant to be a funk cover band. But the guys had so much fun playing together and so much love for heavy, straight forward rock song, it didn’t take long before they started to play their own tunes.

The point of their music is to capture complex structures and harmonies with a punk rock energy, jewelry in a metal case. UNSTAK delivers aerial melodies but heavy straight rock riffs.
