Dandelion
05:09
|
|||
Everlasting soul
Never resting spirit
Floating through the world
Barely touching ground
Reaching for the sun
While the seasons fade away
And soon a breeze will take you on it’s wings
To discover the beauty beyond
A whisper from afar
Tells me where you are
And from the soil
Where you’ll come to lay
Yellow flowers will bloom amidst the grey
One day
Till they’re blown away
Will you let them stay?

Sad Again
06:04
|

I feel bad today
Don’t know what’s going on
For yesterday
I was on top of my game, hm
I dropped the ball
Just when I thought
I had it all under control, oh
I’m sad again
It’s my bad
I let myself down
I let myself doubt
That I was doing alright
Oh, I regret
That I’m still bothered
By the things you said
For I should know better by now
All your shallow words
Led me to second guess
All I was proud of before, oh
I’m sad again
It’s my bad
I let myself down
When I let myself drown in thoughts
That shouldn’t be mine
I can’t forbid those clouds
To move through the sky
Nor stop the rain
From pouring right down on me
But instead of drowning in a puddle
I could splash around carelessly

Sailor's Song
09:46
|
|||
Far away they sail
Through dark, deep water
Endless open sky
They keep on calling you
Seagulls show the way
To unknown places
Will there ever be a place
A place that you call home?

Rooftops
07:47
|
|||
The sun is gonna crash
Into the rooftops of the city and I
Couldn’t care less
‘Cause all that I want is
Waiting for the night to come
So I can close my eyes
All that I am praying for
Is an empty mind
Though the day is through
My head keeps spinning thoughts that my heart
Never could bare
The same memories of
You are threatening me tonight
With pictures showing how
It could have been, it would have been
But it never was
All that I want is peace
Inner peace
The circles on the water are fading
‘Till nothing else matters
The world is far away and I’m in a better place
In silence

I Am Not Yours
03:27
|
|||
I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.
You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.
Oh plunge me deep in love — put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.

Water Poem
07:05
|
|||
Water cleans and heals your wounds
Takes you in surrounds you wholly
Let it’s wisdom flow through your veins
‘Till peaceful streams possess your brain
Breathe in breathe out breathe in
Breathe in breathe out breathe in
Deep inside a river flows
And where it leads us no one knows
Surrender flesh and bone to it’s flow
And what remains will start to show
A teardrop of relief
Reveals what it means to be

Swirls of Dust
06:06
|
|||
Dust and water covering the sky
Remembering all he left behind
Once the streets were filled with laughter
And the world was blue and green
Now, where the playground used to be
Stands a warmachine
Clinging frailly to an olive tree
A long forgotten melody
One that few have lived to know
And some may never hear
For those who used to sing
Now bear the fruit of fear
And still we dance in the sand
Creating swirls of dust
In this cycle of joy and tears
Fed by fear and lust
And while worlds collide
Life goes on
And fate hides in the shade
It's weapon pointing at our feet
Watching how we go astray

Tundra
09:31
|
|||
Somehow I did not recognize
The ice cold gleam within his eyes
Too soon the soothing night has gone
And daylight shows what we have done
You planted a seed in my brain and there it grows
Wrapping it’s branches around my chest
I can’t breathe anymore
Beware wherever you may go
Some twinkling eyes are just for show
And instead of gazing at the stars
You better go to safe your heart
Falling in love, they say
Is sometimes based on a projection of hopes
Caused by wishful thinking
And what you get is an inaccurately drawn portrait
Which is denying all flaws
But when the night is too dark to see where you are going
Yet to cold to stand still and stick around
Well then every light appears to be inviting
And you follow the promise of warmth
Mesmerized and blind
Beware wherever you may go
Some twinkling eyes are just for show
Instead of gazing at the stars
I should have gone to save my heart
