Distant & Halfway
03:16
|
|||
|
Inside a room, a child and its drawings
Destiny in an instant
You’re a distant memory
Finally arriving at the end of her pen
Now the drawing is becoming a song
And new words are turning into sounds
A man observes the child from a safe place
Smiles at his creation, but no one can see his face
Waiting, wondering and worrying
Waking and vibrating, an unconscious stream
It’s raining lots of lost pleasures
I’m on my way, in time I’ll emerge
A great distance over vast stretches of time
I’m distant and halfway through
As a star surrounded by not so empty space
I’m distant and halfway through
I’m distant and halfway

Wrong Instinct
03:52
|

|
Silent so she can speak
Dying so we can live
Violent so she can’t sleep
While curtains burn
Survival on display
Who wants to stay here
And wait?
We turn
Into stone
We go
Alone
We see the future fading
Our instincts were all wrong
Denying all we can see
Drowning so she can breath
Quiet so we can’t hear
While curtains burn
Survival on display
Who wants to stay here
And wait?
We turn
Into stone
We go
Alone
We see the future fading
Our instincts were all wrong
We burn
Our home
We don’t
Belong
I see the future fading
Our instincts are all gone

Song from the Womb
05:03
|
|||
|
I was told that sunlight would impregnate us in the morning
Not before sending us back into our mother’s womb
Here it’s full of black and white photographies
Paganism made out of plagiarism
Creation is but a dream for a child in its mother’s womb
The walls are made of sunlight and I feel my skin is burning
Not only that but I’m starting to feel uncomfortable
My teeth are full of cavities, all I see is black in the white
Realism makes you forget the symbolism
Creation is a dream made out of her perfume
Our mother’s soul, our mother’s womb
Now I lay down my head and write about black and white mornings
Sunlight brought us brand new paganism
Walls made of burning skin and a child
Uncomfortably real and the symbolism is now lost
I’d like to dream about life back in the womb
But creation is something I was told would impregnate us all in the end

Dissolve
04:00
|
|||
|
Like tears dissolving in the rain
Incarcerated but not violated by feelings of distress
I compress time in the palm of my hand
Fields full of green but empty of empathy
Painting new life out of the pain
I need some sleep, I’m lost in the streets again
You were born
Soon to be dead
Find the right words in your head
Without a warning
The last afternoon
Before your melody gets out of tune
Like time dissolving our memories
The present is the past of future centuries
A treasure in the palm of his hand
We fly into the fire, consumed by our fears
Please open your eyes and see
I need some sleep, I’m lost in this dream again
You were born
Soon to be dead
Find the right words in your head
Without a warn
The last afternoon
Before your melody gets out of tune
You are dead
Soon to be born

Mother
02:10
|
|||
|
Inside me there’s a voice
But no one hears it the way I do
The voice paints what I can see
But it doesn’t look the same for you
She wears my skin as I let go
Tells me she’ll come back soon
As I go
To the ocean floor
What comes out of me?
Inside me there’s a voice
No one hears it the way I do
The voice tells me bad things and I believe
How good does it sound for you?
She undresses me of all my dreams
Paints me so many fields in bloom
As I go
To the ocean floor
All I know
As I stand before her eyes
Voiceless
I’m giving birth to my mother

Violently Kind
04:16
|
|||
|
One of us is not like the others
A tired spirit joined by the fire
She’s singing in the choir of colours
Let me treat you violently kind
Love is an expansion of the heart
All hearts beat but then retire
She’s singing in the choir of colours
While you kiss me violently kind
Sing to me
The song of your life
So unique
The melody devours my mind
Sing to me
The sound of your life
So unique
As love kills me violently kind
Patiently waiting for my creation
Her skin is like broken glass
I’m tripping on this medication
Our last words are violently kind
Love is an expansion of the heart
All hearts beat but then retire
A rush of blood, red from the choir
While you kiss me violently kind
Sing to me
The song of your life
So unique
The melody devours my mind
Sing to me
The sound of your life
So unique
As love kills me violently kind
Love is an expansion of the heart
All hearts beat but then retire
A rush of blood, red from the choir
And I feel her violently kind
We’re floating inside a dark room
Minds twisted turned into perfume
Summer spreads all over her body
Spring in bloom
Sing to me
The song of your life
So unique
The melody devours my mind
Sing to me
The sound of your life
So unique
As love kills me violently kind

Constant Waves
04:28
|
|||
|
Summer was almost over
And with it came
Constant waves of distancing
I dreamt about this
I remember a black winged angel
Dead cell with a crown
Everyone was scared
Hiding in their tombs
Waiting for the next wave of distancing
Just like this
Never ending waves
Of distancing
Every morning
Is a brand new day
For you and me
Summer was almost over
We’re staring at screens looking for fame
The next wave of distancing
We dreamt about this
Feeding a dead body is no easy task
Smells of a crowd
Nowhere is safe
As the black winged angel waits for
Constant waves of distancing
Just like this
Never ending waves
Of distancing
Every morning
Is a brand new day
For you and me
Just like this
Comes a brand new wave
For you and me
Every morning
Never ending days
Of distancing
Just like this
Never ending days
Of distancing
