Raise A Glass

My phone still remembers your name
My bed knows your scent
My clothes are covered with your hair
My car knows where you went
I want to raise a glass
But I'm giving up
It's overflowing
Into someone else's cup
My praise knows your divinity
My heart knows your sin
The church choir sings weekly hymns about you
but lord knows where you've been
I want to raise a glass
But I'm giving up
It's overflowing
Into someone else's cup
Your diary knows some things about me
that I probably don't
You wished I would do all the things
that I probably won't
I want to raise a glass
But I'm giving up
It's overflowing
Into someone else's cup
My phone still remembers your name
My bed knows your scent
My clothes are covered with your hair
My car knows where you went
I want to raise a glass
But I'm giving up
It's overflowing
Into someone else's cup
I want to raise a glass
But I'm giving up
It's overflowing
Into someone else's cup

I want you to be me for a bit
I want you to understand
I hate you
for wanting to hold my hand
Would you still like me if I wasn't a girl?
Would you still like me if I was from a different world?

My hart het regtig doodgegaan
My siel het dalk gevrek
Die warmte, die liefde,
het stadig uitgelek
Ek en jy is lank reeds verby
Ek besef dit net nou eers
Ek en jy is lank reeds verby
Ek besef dit net nou eers
My hart klop deesdae sagter
Ek twyfel soms aan sy bestaan
Ek het weggeraak; heeltemal verdwaal
deur nêrens heen te gaan
Ek en jy is lank reeds verby
Ek besef dit net nou eers
Ek en jy is lank reeds verby
Ek besef dit net nou eers
Die hersenskimme spook by my
Die spoke toor by my
en vertel my van die sondes wat jy pleeg
Ek kies gereeld die hasepad
Ek vlug gereeld te ver
Hierdie kop, sonder jou, is dolleeg
Ek en jy is lank reeds verby
Ek besef dit net nou eers
Ek en jy is lank reeds verby
Ek besef dit net nou eers
Ek en jy is lank reeds verby
Ek besef dit net nou eers
Ek en jy is lank reeds verby
Ek besef dit net nou eers
Ek en jy is lank reeds verby
Ek besef dit net nou eers
Ek en jy is lank reeds verby
Ek besef dit net nou eers
Ek en jy is lank reeds verby

I'm Possessed!
03:00
|
|||
|
You got me under your spell
and your voodoo is strong
You had me under your spell
for way too long
I'm possessed!
I'm possessed!
You got me under your spell
and it can't go on
You're brewing magic potions
And you forgot about me
You put me under your spell
and you forgot to set me free
I'm possessed!
I'm possessed!
You got me under your spell
Can't you see?
You've got a hold on my memories
You turned my thoughts against me
Your greatest spell is nostalgia
You turned me against myself
You stole my head
You stole my love
You stole my faith
like a bolt from above
You're in possession!
You're in possession
of me
You poisoned my heart
You poisoned my mind
You poisoned my liver
and you turned me blind
I'm possessed!
I'm possessed
by your love

Roxanne
03:11

|
Her name was Roxanne and it all began
when I sang her a tune out of key and she upped and ran
I chased her down to a faraway town
I couldn't see how it could be that she'd bring me down
But walking the distance could ruin your knees
and you'll need those guys when you're begging please
Running in circles, you'll run till you're blue
Pushing stones up a hill won't make your dreams come true
She finally gave in and we could begin
to share in our sips of tequila an gin
To dream out loud in a screaming crowd
till her words will be heard and she'll make you proud
But walking the distance could ruin your knees
and you'll need those guys when you're begging please
Running in circles, you'll run till you're blue
Pushing stones up a hill won't make your dreams come true
Her name was Roxanne and her body sang
as she danced to a waltz 'round the room while the morning began
The night drifted away and she wished she could stay
but dreams don't mean shit when life sweeps us away
But walking the distance could ruin your knees
and you'll need those guys when you're begging please
Running in circles, you'll run till you're blue
Pushing stones up a hill won't make your dreams come true
Walking the distance could ruin your knees
and you'll need those guys when you're begging please
Running in circles, you'll run till you're blue
Pushing stones up a hill won't make your dreams come true

Hunted Woman
03:15
|
|||
|
She told me she was lonely
I said I'd comfort her tonight
I asked her if it was a man that gave her such a fright
She said it was a man
that made everything alright
and asked if I could be that man tonight
She's a hunted woman
She's a hunted girl
She's a haunted woman
She's hunted and she burns
I poured whiskey in our tea
She said that I couldn't see
What the future would hold for her and me
I said that's okay
and that I wouldn't stay
but still I'll try to help het find a way
She's a hunted woman
She's a hunted girl
She's a haunted woman
She's hunted and she burns
Turning out the lights
makes nothing alright
Burning down the world
puts everything right
She's a hunted woman
She's a hunted girl
She's a haunted woman
She's hunted and she burns
She's a hunted woman!
She's a hunted woman
She's a hunted girl
She's a haunted woman
She's hunted and she burns
She's a hunted woman
She's a hunted girl
She's a haunted woman
She touches you and it burns

Fears
02:58
|

|
My eyelids are a million years old
And my shoulders are broken and cold
and my fingers are worn to the bone
and my ears are hearing the all alone
A lifetime of doubts
A world's worth of fears
I've had enough trouble
to last ten thousand years
A lifetime of doubts
A world's worth of fears
I've had enough trouble
to last ten thousand years
My body will lie cold and still
with my heart still longing for the kill
And my bones all aching with pain
And my will to be broken again
A lifetime of doubts
A world's worth of fears
I've had enough trouble
to last ten thousand years
A lifetime of doubts
A world's worth of fears
I've had enough trouble
to last ten thousand years

Kabaal klankbaan Pretoria, South Africa
Kabaal klankbaan is Gauteng-based musician Floris Groenewald’s folk-rock music project. “It’s not a stage name,” says Floris, “but a band, of which I’m the only permanent member.” They play acoustic, alternative folk-rock, which varies from indie-pop songs, folky dystopian love songs, bluesy rock & roll, to songs about robots and video games. ... more
