Insomnia
04:37
|
|||
Something in the veins, through my heart,
lures me.
I'm paralyzed.
Choices are nonexistent.
And I wish for release,
for release,
so release me.
Take me away,
take my hand and
release me into your world.
Take me away,
take my hand and
release me into your world.
Enough time is enough.
I'm yours, I surrender.
Take me away,
take my hand and
release me into your world.
Take me away,
take my hand and
release me into your world.

Return to Nothing
04:54

In the middle of the vast emptiness of space.
where do I go to escape the questions?
A riddle that has not been solved
in time I must ask the question.
Disappear, I disappear
when the words just drain me out.
I travel with no emotions.
Just a frozen shell
of my ways is what remains.
Can't think of a reason no to be
wanted anymore so I...
Disappear, I disappear
when the words just drain me out.
Disappear, I disappear
when the words just drain me out.
No need for me here
after all these years
I'll let the words drain me out.

Every day she looks upon her shelf.
Within the frames she sees the face
of her son.
Just the one.
Seven years of the same routine.
All the money's gone to her saints
and she prays for her end...
With all the reasons,
through all the seasons,
for all the money in the world.
Another story she reads during a stormy night.
But the fire down below her won't ignite.
Another candle should do the trick
and now the ashes
in a cloud of smoke and fire...
he rises.
"Mother dear"
"What brings you here?"
"Why do you fear
to have a life to call your own?"
"Not alone, with no excuses."
"I will still be here when you return."
"When you return
in many years when you return."
With all the reasons,
through all the seasons,
for all the money in the world.

Don't Let it Die
04:35
|

Realize that your rainbow
lacks a pot full of dreams.
And the search that is driving
you mad let it go let it free.
Let it fly, fly
don't let it die.
Out of touch with your sanity
in a trance of reality.
Don't go, don't go, don't go,
don't let it die.
As far as you can reach
but your will is weak
sickly and beat
will is weak
sickly and beated to the ground.
Don't confuse
the truth for the clues
and refuse to open and see
with your eyes.
Realize that your rainbow
lacks a pot full of dreams.
Let it free let it fly
don't let it die.
Out of touch with your sanity
in a trance of reality.
Don't go, don't go, don't go,
don't let it die.
Don't go, don't go, don't go,
don't let it die.

In Fragments
04:46
|

Do we share the same, same pain or instead
share a smile?
Or a touch?
Just enough to feel like a king
for a day,
a long day.
But instead I crumble.
Pulling on the edge
a tearing only causes more regrets.
My reflection easily exposes
this rain in a bottle with my sorrows and joy.
A wish for a kiss,
for desired lips of fire
burning me.
It's hard to see, hard to breathe
but gasping for more.
More love, more lies,
and in the end I crumble.
Only in fragments of me
I escape, shut down, your hands you are
pulling on the edge
a tearing only causes more regrets.
My reflection easily exposes
this rain in a bottle with my sorrows and joy.
Only in fragments of me
I escape, shut down, your hands you are...

Not Expected

There's no food today I'm sorry.
It was taken by the hooded ones from the other camp.
I promised this would be the last time.
Time to avenge what was done to mom and dad.
With that look I see that you disagree
with me but I must leave.
With that look I see that you disagree
and it kills me but this is for you and me.
Now that a challenge has been accepted,
fully rested, heading out in darkness
I'm not expected.
Swiftly the adrenaline that rushes in animalistically
is taking over me.
Kerosene, the last drop of Kerosene I ignite
and face to face the final words I recite:
With that look I see that you disagree with me
but this fire will cleanse you and me.
With that look I see that you disagree with me
but my family deserves this...

Forming Crystals
05:17
|

Blooming from an orchid of
the morning of
first light, first life, first sight of
innocence,
innocence, a history
now that's it's innocently aware
of destiny.
First steps taken a while to flow.
Flow like water flows
through it all.
No experience, no serious goals.
Just a snowflake caught in a storm.
A new world trickles down a waterfall
in motion crystals of youth.
In motion, forming crystals of youth.
Cloudy is a world
where seeds begin to grow
and the horizon
no longer old.
Running like a tempest,
breaking through the divide
in the horizon
a new life opens up.
Innocence,
innocence, a history
now that's it's innocently aware
of destiny...
...now that's it's innocently aware
of destiny.

Continue to Rewind
06:01
|

Every single day I watch the sunrise,
hear the birds sing not a single note for me.
It takes a special kind of patience
for all the time I spend alone
pondering upon the sun.
I think about all the "can it be's," possibilities,
and different outcomes;
variations of "how come's."
It takes special concentration
to remain below it all,
above it all.
And I continue to rewind,
reminisce on what I find,
and the sun, it smiles at me
so I smile back.
All the do's and don'ts lie on a scale,
the tipping point:
an emotional betrayal.
It takes special determination
to decide a right or wrong
when the choice comes along.
I think about all the butterflies, and lullabies
the fluttering performs.
A symphony is born.
It takes a special kind of force
to erase this paradise.
And I continue to rewind,
reminisce on what I find,
and the sun, it smiles at me
so I smile back.
