I’ve been hiding here all day surrounded by the leaking windows it’s not the speech of hate, now these days, won’t stop but I just don’t have enough I want to turn back time, again I was hoping to be your man heading to the endless love but it stops happening, now, now these days

freezing hearts in the freezing times due to stone cold lights in the sleepless nights while christmas lies awake wasted years and wasted days as this boredom slowly dies away while august takes it’s place

I was there, beneath the rusty swing, pondering possibilities Again Count to five Count to ten how many losses do you need  to realize, what you’ve already gained how come I’ve behaved like that take it all outside and tear it apart get on the crimson bridge to spit on cars it’s time I was there, on the hill called star tracing tracks by motorbikes Again Count to five Count to ten how many losses do you need  to realize, what you’ve already gained how come I’ve let them down Again take it all outside and tear it apart golden leaves and yellow ground seem sublime it’s time all the references are wrong please stop making this up (it won’t work, it won’t work, it’s done) the advent of cold nights comes but there must be something more something more take it all outside and tear it apart get on the crimson bridge to spit on cars

she was all around and in your dreams you’ve been worried about you have to speak it all out loud you have to sleep all night but look what did you choose you wen to the roof to stay in the groove and then they came after you and then they made you move I hope you won’t find out I’ve given up all my fights still waking up at noon I know you’re one to blame but I didn’t hear your name still waking up at noon still waking up to same old tune tune she was all around and in your dreams you’ve been worried about you have to speak it all out loud you have to sleep all night I hope you won’t find out I’ve given up all my fights still waking up at noon I know you’re one to blame but I didn’t hear your name still waking up at noon still waking up to same old tune tune

trapped in the bed for past two years hear nothing but the buzz in my ears a solid ground seems so faraway, I try to forget it now my heart’s creating shapes, that i don’t want to recognize cause everytime, you walk on by everytime, you walk on by did you ever realize, it’s enough, enough enough did you ever realize, it’s enough, enough enough let’s have a smoke to stop the rage it’s time to do the work to deserve your wage a solid ground strikes back again, till the sun goes up my heart’s trying to escape, but I just wanna let it stay cause everytime, you walk on by everytime, you walk on by did you ever realize, it’s enough, enough enough did you ever realize, it’s enough, enough enough

Here I am back home again And I’m here to rest All they ask is where I’ve been Knowing I’ve been west I’m the family’s unknown boy Golden curls and envy hair Pretty girls with faces fair See the shine in the black sheep boy If you love me let me live in peace And please understand That the black sheep can wear the golden fleece And hold the winning hand I’m the family’s unknown boy Golden curls and envy hair Pretty girls with faces fair See the shine in the black sheep boy I’m the family’s unknown boy Golden curls and envy hair Pretty girls with faces fair See the shine in the black sheep boy

I thought you wanted to fake your death All the disgust and despair Can just take you breath away So don’t you waste your own time Faking you’re awake Because your heart is just as cold as the city you hate Because your heart is just as cold as the city you hate As it gets lonesome at night you choose not to wander But you find no repose No resting place in this life Did it all get real When the purity was over? Because your heart is not as bold as the moves you make Because your heart is not as bold as the moves you make Why don’t you consider to hibernate yourself, All you dreams and fears will just melt (away) I thought she wanted to fake your death Intense and futile She won’t heal the damage done So don’t you waste any more time Make no more mistakes Because your heart is just as cold as the city you hate Because your heart is just as cold as the city you hate Why don’t you consider to hibernate yourself, All you dreams and fears will just melt (away)

Tell me, isn’t it tragic to open yourself up like a museum, to turn yourself inside out, only to have everything stolen under the night It´s not as tight as words on paper And I wish I could turn all your special powers into vapour Let me astroplane to sleep Through our pillowtalk And then leave As we keep on pillowtalking I sacrifice your mind - losing consciousness talking throught space and time, relieving me from counting the sheep or the need to get high spend last night talking to my cigarette the smoke does that thing well As it takes clouds into my head Let me astroplane to sleep Through our pillowtalk And then leave

Building up your statue of red clay Scratches and more bruises mark the pain You say you got broken in so many ways But I see no crushed bones just your empty hollow gaze Drowning in an ocean of despair Wallowing in things you couldn´t bare No one will feel sorry it´s all your choice I won´t be the last one to shut your voice Cruising for bruising the worst thing to do Enjoying losing it´s pleasure for you Cruising for bruising the worst thing to do Enjoying losing it´s pleasure for you No one ever listens to the dull drums The dull drums of your pulses As they beat against the silence You keep saying “time won´t heal (any of) your bruises” so you´re giving up on science so you´re giving up on science Cruising for bruising the worst thing to do Enjoying losing it´s pleasure for you Cruising for bruising the worst thing to do Enjoying losing it´s pleasure for you

You’re so far from where you want to go You’re so far from where you want to go Anywhere near anytime soon anything you want to achieve You’re so far from where you want to go Tell me why did you come to this place If you don’t like urban foxes Foraging at night through you cardboard boxes Try to turn back the clockworks of your mind I could mind if you wouldn’t let her know About the things I’ve tried to fix when the lights were low. Anywhere near anytime soon anything you want to achieve You’re so far from where you want to go Tell me why did you come to this place If you don’t like urban foxes Foraging at night through you cardboard boxes

about

These Days / Urban Foxes is a split album by Prague based songwriters and singers blacksheepboy (Zdenek Lichnovsky) and pale&coy (Eliska Mikovcova). The debut album shows the intimate and emotional approach to music production of both artists. Songs were composed and recorded at home, which helped to preserve the authentic atmosphere on the record. The lyrics are linked to the city and its inevitable and specific lifestyle as the pace of life is much faster, yet the range of opportunities is wider than necessary. The concept of the album presents different narratives that bear a remarkable resemblance to each another - songs of transience of the moment, making choices, feeling at home, or day dreaming.

blacksheepboy, a singer, songwriter and guitarist Zdenek Lichnovsky, recorded the base for his six tracks in his bedroom, taking advantage of its perfect acoustics. In his music he combines the sharp and lo-fi sound of a distorted 12-string acoustic guitar with bubbling synths & beats. Then, in all these layers, you can find a sheer pop approach.

pale&coy is an electronic project of a songwriter, singer and keyboardist Eliska Mikovcova. In her music she depicts the specific state of mind or a certain atmosphere while recording songs in a mobile phone app. To maintain the authenticity of the tracks there is as little as possible postproduction done afterwards.
