arms and legs so visible
the horizon draws them nearer
clouds open up
the path becomes much clearer
floating straight along
never getting any higher
destination is unknown
unable to enquire
for the first and last time
it disappears without trace
a smile, a wink, a tear?
a desolate hole, no face
smaller than a giant
bigger than a pawn
like so many friends in life
it's been and now it's gone

Och Away!

i sometimes wonder
if i should wander
away from the life i have
many an option
for me to opt for
only now must i choose the right path
(chorus)
there are things that make me mad
there are things that make me sad
all the thoughts i have in a day
some will stay; some go away
i sometimes think
that i should think
about getting a new pair of shoes
looking again
what could i gain?
and what do i stand to lose?
(chorus)
i look at my heart
and am looked on by many
will i ever reach an end?
i seek to be loved
and love to be seeked
will i find an new friend?
(chorus)

Waltz For No One I Know

blurred people,
with no identity
slurred words
with no meaning
the man inside of me steps out
and shakes his head disapprovingly
for once i have some friends,
or so i think
malfunction; madness;
my legs
i want to sleep forever
strange people,
with no smiles for me
false movements
with no feeling
the fool inside of me steps out
and nods his head so stupidly
for once i can't be hurt,
or so i think
spinning; sleepy
my head
i want to sleep forever

Not A Good Idea
02:33

i was found looking for salvation
but i found you instead
it's never been so messy
inside my head
i was thinking about money
but i ended up poor
once so certain
now so unsure
thanks to you
(chorus)
so far, yet so near
i know it's not a good idea
so grey, yet so clear
i know it's not a good idea
i was looking for a fire
but i slipped on the ice
lacking in wisdom
ignoring advice
i was thinking of the future
but i looked to the past
slipping away
as i lose it fast
thanks to you
(chorus)

splendour, in my heart
shimmer like a lake in winter
the stone, my heart
sends ripples across the river
of my life
the swan glides with ease through the river
the stone, however,
sinks to the bottom
it remains there
in darkness alone
desire is the rain
it fills up the river
it's so cold
and so uneven
but it doesn't stop
the sun is love
it warms up the river
but it goes away, only to return
and one day at the bottom of the river
it'll shine no more

time is of the essence
vanilla, i think
like autumn leaves,
seconds flutter away to wherever
i feel lost
in a barren forest
of time
is it mine?
in the mirror i see a face
it is happy to be unhappy
it feels sorry for itself
though it knows others are more deserving
it is lonely and it is frightening
is it me?
i feel lost
in a barren forest
of time
is it mine?

very exciting.
i do not think
do we care – do we f*ck
excitement on the brink
oh take me away
can't take anymore
let me sleep
and i promise i won't snore
somebody help me
somebody must care
i do. you should too
so don;t just f*cking stare
share your problems
have you at least one?
i am slowly dying here
take me away for some fun
|

i feel faint
noises in my mind
how you go
away and leave me alone
in a dark wood
you care to come along
time ago i saw you
know what i mean
am i a dream?

she saw me looking out the window
it bit into me: why?
the door creaked slowly shut
i'm on my own, again
darkness comes quickly
wind howls outside
i quiver and quake
so do the trees
she saw the empty window
it will return: when?
the door creaked slowly open
i have company, again
but never again

i sit in my rocket
but i see no space
a crowd; a million?
the same hostile face
despair is a comrade
alone in the crowd
the sun flashes me
a split in the clouds
your voice is loud
my head is bowed
new clothes; new hair
the shiny people
the clock stops abruptly
as time becomes treacle
dull and depressing
soon to be a bright star
i see the window
i think of the bar
i want a car
let me go far
the lecturer, the dentist
taken for a ride
“ here is my knowledge:
now open up real wide. ”
tv programme
my brain wants to eat
oh no, not again
i'll watch the repeat

plodding along
it seems to take forever
feels so much longer though
when happiness never
pops its head from out of the clouds
frantically running
it's getting under my skin
cracking is inevitable
but there's kindness within
i know you have got no chin
you know i will always win
looking around
it seems that i'm smaller
feels so pointless
wishing i was taller
than all the giants on the ground
frantically running
it's getting under my skin
cracking is inevitable
but there's kindness within
the end is where it will begin
petty and thoughtless
a child with no toy
right now your purpose:
to serve and annoy
have you no shame?
do it your own way
awful and atrocious
you ruined our day

building blocks:
toys for children like me
i move around
building houses and friendships
only to see them
being demolished
why?
“speak when you're spoken to.”
what if i don't want to speak?
i will drown myself
in a sea of silence
surrounded by sharks and fish
and me
