1.	STROKE 02:26	lyrics
Trapped Will I get a fucking stroke? They won´t let me alone, even though i gave them that much You can not quench their thirst Friendly smiling but kicking in your back I´m trapped between their fangs Living under their spell Ain´t got no chance to run away Even if I dare Another day, same old pain, it never stops Wonder if I can stand it one more night in between their fangs They won´t let me alone You can´t quench their thirst Even though they´re friendly smiling, they´re kicking in your back Notes: About how law and state have a firm hand on us and urge us to follow their (sometimes) absurd rules and about how this leaves lots of us in a state of constant anger, fear and paranoia.
2.	RESTRICTED AFFECT 01:31	lyrics
Fear, self hatred rammed into those without a voice Fear implanted by those who separate us Restricted affect in this act of domination Doomed to numb what lives deep inside Fit in a template, that´s the given guideline Not a cog in this fucking machine I´m not a cog in this fucking machine Not given a voice by society Because structured life plans make us more controllable They are feared of freedom of love Because love is what finally makes us Free Not a cog in this fucking machine I´m not a cog in this fucking machine Free your mind Fear implanted by those who separate us Restricted affect in this act of domination Doomed to numb what lives deep inside Fit in a template, that´s the given guideline Notes: About how huge parts of society try to force us to live and love the way they consider right and about its effects on the oppressed.
3.	APPRAISED 02:19	lyrics
Not an object of your fucking lust Your everyday behavior fills me with disgust These compliments, something that i don`t need I´m fed up with this normativity Compliments, something that we don´t need Fed up with this normativity Sick of that feeling of being appraised I don´t give a shit if you´re disgust or amazed Screw your opinion, screw what you say About the way I look or the shape of my body But don´t be upset don´t be scared Not everyone wants to be left alone Just make sure you do not cross a line Everyone marks for ones own. Just make sure you do not cross a line Everyone marks for ones own. Changes start up in our heads Not an object of your fucking lust Your everyday behavior fills me with disgust These compliments, something that we don`t need I´m fed up with this normativity Notes: About how we won´t allow people, to cross our personal boundaries anymore .
4.	ROT 02:43	lyrics
Blind and cold profession Machines, function, forgetting Stare, ignore, tradition Feed, digest, inquisition Rot Lifeless shell living by the code Packed in a shelf Who archives the most is worth more than anybody else? Give me a break! What´s the deal with so called wealth? Buy, take, eat Accept these lies, repeat Day by fucking day Let me step out of this life Can´t take the pressure any more night A decent living? It is the death in disguise. Wish to grow some wings and finally I fly And leave this dump alone knowing it rots. But when the light of a new day comes crashing in and I see the ruins of Moloch My last wish was please die! Notes: About how certain kinds of everyday jobs make our life like the motion of the machines we work on and about how bleak existing in our system is from time to time.
5.	DRUDGE 01:55	lyrics
I will never obey the rules which they talked about in school “Pushing your way through makes you a lucky man. Who falls on the ground, stays on the floor. No time to help you“ No way you get me into this No competition prefer to stay a misfit My energy is something that i won´t lend I won´t die with a pencil sewed on my fucking hand I won´t die with a pencil sewed on my fucking hand No competition, no greed, no compare To live like a slave is not what i prefer And if I drudge i do it for myself I will never break this back for wealth Notes: About being raised to capitalist comodities, the daily perssure to deliver the best possible performance and the disagreement with both.

about

`Stroke` is the first EP of CHAVER. After the Band was founded in early 2016 they focused on touring and recorded `Stroke`. They tried to wirte a short, raw and fast yet groovy hardcore record. The lyrics refer to subjects as pressure to do well, crossed personal boundaries or domination by state, law and society.
