might looks so grand from a distance that you need to touch
it gives a vision of the simple but it isn’t much
i won’t be fooled by it’s touch or emotional supply
the scent of the fair and heavy allure will dry
the cold and the bare grasped so delicate by ones’ eye
is why we can’t ally and elope to wry
almost forgotten the way we used to live for play
to be accepted i must blend into conventions way
and sing in universal ways

give up, let down
can’t believe what i found
keep quite, be silent, these words from your mouth
build up from ground
wipe clean of your frowns
turn around before we run aground
one more wrong
costs you all
sticks like glue
obstructs my view
speak up, adapt
watch closely, keep track
streamlined, live by the rules applied
thin line to walk, no time to stop
this life your glorify a waste of time
give up, let down
can’t believe what i found
keep quite, be silent, these words from your mouth
build up from ground
wipe clean of your frowns
turn around before we run aground
one more fault
costs you all
until i’m through

good worker

you make a neat and tidy house
a good worker does
a pinion of labours men
as capable as trust
from a lower point of view
comes the underlying truth
keeping yourself unaware
comforting we know you care
locking out your inner man
recognising time is plans
ready for some further use
denial is a virtue
i make a good and steady friend
a companion through life
but who am i when all i am
is your designated wife
sadly i have not defined where you’re taking me

moving closer now
your hand just knocked me off my feet
yeah like a puppet now
i cannot move to my own beat
but i can dance tonight
i’ll make up songs for us to sing
you hold my heart with cotton string
and to your rhythm i will shout
my love for play
take off your hat
and pull a rabbit out for me
i’m like a lackey now
i’ll lay on my back, get on my knees
so i will dance now

we don’t ask for anything
your lives could have been unaffected
we don’t ask you to give all
it won’t make us more than what is reflected
can you see the scar in the perfect sky
and the hills align with a crooked smile

idle talk

where are you my long lost love
it feel like yesterday us parting
i held you closest to my thrusting heart
now the withdrawal seems to be starting
you’re not like anyone i know
with you i flourish into greatness
extend my arms into immense delight
making my future vast and weightless
quite an undertaking
all fair promises
i stopped hearing you crow
quite an understatement
and harm surfaces that is hidden in snow
i should have kept you safe
shielded from our trojan war
where are you my partisan
the last i saw of you was sinking
into a giant hole of nothingness
as my desire started shrinking
if i chose to take you back
if you can swallow all that pride
if i stand up for my believing
if you can still be what i lack
can we make up for all the joy we lack
where is the passion you where bringing
can we start giving and receiving
what is the purpose of me giving
it’s the same

rascal

emptied one at a single draft alone
drained this run
the farthest one can come too close
life could be better if i let me in
what is to hold on to
but i force myself towards departing
leaving is what you do
i had to make dirty in this soil
i had to be the rascal taking all
i wanted us to live in times of bliss
i couldn’t evoke the memories i have missed
left this one
abandoned my ideals for what
want to be just like you
moulded like i’m shaped in size with anyone
stand in line right next to everyone just like you
i had to make dirty in this soil
i had to be the rascal taking all
i wanted us to live in times of bliss
i couldn’t evoke the memories i have missed
shut your eyes fast and all goes blank
and channel the vision feel the scent of
someone who dare to lose it all
and someone who’s ready to take the fall for it
shut your eyes and all will be lost
i’m taking all, i’m taking all
as a rascal taking all, i’m taking all

kill
06:26
|

|
creeping, throbbing
saunter from corner to wall
trying to part the whispers from shouting and calls
this will is itching
this want is making me soar
what is expected, to seem a happy whore
come on let’s kills this
demands and notions
all this commotion is not worth it
come one just give this
a second coming
an age is dawning with all smiles and laughter
one foot forward will you be catching my fall
once i give i know you’ll be claiming more
you’ve had me scratching
you have been talking me soar
what is expected, to carry you in my arms

i come bearing legacy that we caused jointly in our dawning land
i come with delivery and i have wrapped it in my mourning band
i give you my history that i expect your tender arms around
give it love and think of me
these are the letters from our compound
we see the dawning of novelty
where we embrace the grand of subtlety
time finally caught up with me
a mouldering image of a fleeing fugitive
toned down but playful
you say your greetings with goodbyes
your cup is brimful
sorrow stricken with a smile
now we found the cure
returning to the shore
change is always given to the searchers who explore
don’t expect to hear from me
‘cause i have got to feed our hungry mouths
i do enjoy your company
but we must work to keep you content
i see the better and worse in me
i embrace the grand of subtlety
but you finally caught up with me
a mouldering image of a fleeing fugitive
