Vingerafdruk (feat. Hunter Kennedy)

In die donkerte ingekyk
Nou staar die donkerte terug na my
Aan fame try vat, nou vat die fame aan my
My trots gesluk, nou net n vingerafdruk

So ver beweeg, maar voel of ek net begin
Los stukkies van myself op elke stage wat ek spring
My bloed loop deur elke song wat ek sing
Maar voel of eensaamheid al is wat fame my bring
Die vryheid wat musiek vir my gegee het op die pad
Het die jare stadig maar seker weg van my gevat
Soek soms skyn,
Maar voel soms ek soek verniet en in die
Donker nag wil selfs die sterre op my skiet.
My wereld wankel mos al lankal in n wanbalans
Die stryd vir Afrikaans is mos al lankal vankant gemaak
Dis die skuldgevoelens wat jou elke aand besoek en
Die waardes van jou vader wat jou vordering verhoed
Eks verlore in wat almal se wat ek moet wees,
Dat die vrees om in te pas my in stukkies opbreek
Maar as jy eendag langs my doodsbed na my roep
Onthou ek was eintlik net na happiness op soek

In die donkerte ingekyk
Nou staar die donkerte terug na my
Aan fame try vat, nou vat die fame aan my
My trots gesluk, nou net n vingerafdruk

Gee my krag, gee my tyd, gee my lesse om te leer
Laat my lag, laat my huil voor jou woorde my verskeur
Sit die wind in my are, die son op my gesig
Vul my are met vuur en sit die fight in my terug
Waar ek skuil in die skadu en jou try vermy
Het die krake my stadig maar seker voorberei
My hande in stukkies vir Afrikaans baklei
Die grondpad na paradys voel veels te lank vir my
Ons is almal hier tesame, vergader in sy naam
Weerloos en verlate, so gemaak en so laat staan
Die rede vir ons wese te swaar om te verstaan
Kom sit kruisbeen op die mat laat ons plannetjies beraam
Se hallelujah ek sal nooit ooit stilbly nie,
Hallelujah, jou mentaliteit is nie vir my nie
Aan die einde van die gang skyn daar nog n lig
En as jy my nodig het kom ek altyd vinnig terug.

In die donkerte ingekyk
Nou staar die donkerte terug na my
Aan fame try vat, nou vat die fame aan my
My trots gesluk, nou net n vingerafdruk

In die donkerte ingekyk
Nou staar die donkerte terug na my
Aan fame try vat, nou vat die fame aan my
My trots gesluk, nou net n vingerafdruk

Fingerprint (feat. Hunter Kennedy)

Looked into the darkness
Now the darkness stares back at me
Tried to grab fame, now fame grabs me
Swallowed my pride, now just a fingerprint

Moved so far, but feels like I'm just beginning
Leaving pieces of myself on every stage I jump on
My blood runs through every song I sing
But feels like loneliness is all that fame brings me
The freedom that music gave me on the road
Has been slowly but surely taken away from me over the years
Sometimes I seek light,
But sometimes I feel like I'm searching in vain and in the
Dark night even the stars want to shoot at me.
My world has been teetering in imbalance for a long time
The fight for Afrikaans has been lost for a long time
It's the guilt that visits you every night and
The values of your father that hinder your progress
I'm lost in what everyone says I should be,
That the fear of fitting in breaks me into pieces
But if one day you call out to me by my deathbed
Remember I was actually just looking for happiness

Looked into the darkness
Now the darkness stares back at me
Tried to grab fame, now fame grabs me
Swallowed my pride, now just a fingerprint

Give me strength, give me time, give me lessons to learn
Let me laugh, let me cry before your words tear me apart
Put the wind in my veins, the sun on my face
Fill my veins with fire and put the fight back in me
Where I hide in the shadows and try to avoid you
The cracks have slowly but surely prepared me
My hands broken fighting for Afrikaans
The dirt road to paradise feels way too long for me
We are all here together, gathered in his name
Defenseless and abandoned, made this way and left behind
The reason for our being too heavy to understand
Come sit cross-legged on the mat and let's make plans
Say hallelujah, I will never ever be silent,
Hallelujah, your mentality is not for me
At the end of the hallway there is still a light shining
And if you need me, I'll always come back quickly.

Looked into the darkness
Now the darkness stares back at me
Tried to grab fame, now fame grabs me
Swallowed my pride, now just a fingerprint

Looked into the darkness
Now the darkness stares back at me
Tried to grab fame, now fame grabs me
Swallowed my pride, now just a fingerprint
