Dissonance
01
cold silence has a tendency to arophy any sense of compassion
Talking to myself
02
I am what you see and what you don’t see
Time
03
Yes, I hate you you left me but I never stopped thinking about you, not even a day honestly I miss you but I’ll erase you ‘cause it hurts less than to blame you
Lost my way
04
Constantly pushing without rest within the harsh rainstorms lost my way within a complicated world without an exit lost my way I wander I want to believe in my path
Eyes of the city
05
A sound of something breaking I awake from sleep A sound full of unfamiliarity try to cover my ears but can’t go to sleep
Longing
06
Passing by the edge of the cold winter until the days of spring until the days of flower blossoms Please stay, please stay there a little longer
Fade
07
No one spoke of her I too, do not speak her name The more time passes, the less space she takes in my mind
Inertia
08
These days drift on inside a fog It’s thick and suffocating This seeking life outside its hell inside intoxicating
Mundane
09
The everyday life in his enclosure repeating for many years till the end of his time
The Girl
10
She was a bit of...obnoxious Her lonliness is like a black hole‌limitless and darkly daunting She is a redhead, like another Pippi Longstocking She lacks social skills and self-awareness She occasionally strays outside the societal boundaries
The cafe where we met
11
I’ll never find anyone to replace you guess I’ll have to make it through without you with all the changing seasons of my life maybe I’ll get it right next time
Lunacy
12
Overthinking everything Inconvenient, unexpected sounds that call For my strained reaction My own occupier Reset and rewire
Monochrome
13
Think of something Thin out the fear Past the tracks Part the ways One stand here Medicate
Late night
14
And the shadow of the day Will embrace the world in gray And the sun will set for you
Impressionism 01
15
Wandering around Echoes of the city Talking, mumbling, shouting Noises, ambient sounds Movement, dizzyness and chaos
Impressionism 02
16
Is life over, this life’s over? Or has it only just begun? It grows colder, starts to molder Coming apart yet still not done
Impressionism 03
17
In due time all of this will pass In a sudden storm We hear it all night See it flicker overhead So void of life
Missing
18
I won’t be in your days I won’t be remembered either I’m making memories alone Missing you is like having a beautiful wound I’m thinking about you so much everyday
The Itch
19
Confront your own concern Will you wake up before it is time There’s nothing in the airspace There’s no one in the airspace
Consternation
20
Saw you in the lampglow You fade Nothingness incarnate
Sober
21
Why can’t we not be sober? I just want to start this over Why can’t we drink forever I just want to start this over
Fumes
22
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder You know it’s going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older And in the end you’ll pack up and fly down south Hide your head in the sand
Fake love
23
You say I’m unfamiliar changed into the one you used to like You say I’m not myself which you knew well No? What do you mean no? I’m blind Love? What the heck is love? It’s all fake love
Erase
24
I wish all my weaknesses could be hidden I grew a flower that can’t be bloomed in a dream that can’t come true
Garden
25
And I know All of your warmth is real
Dire
26
Drifting through this boundlessness This madness of our own making
Descending
27
Stay the grand finale Stay the reading of our swan song and epilogue One drive to stay alive
Crawling
28
Crawling in my skin These wounds, they will not heal Fear is how I fall Confusing what is real
Universe
29
In our obscurity in all this vastness there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves It is up to us
Paravoid
30
And a new day will dawn For those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter
Remembrance
31
Old light and new colours laughter, cry, unfolded emotions Moments fleeting Permanent impressions
Memory
32
I remember one time when we were abroad I was laughing at a book I had bought But you were standing against the hotel wall Frozen in an unknown thought
Mystery
33
In my absence now Irrelevant time will pass See the evening rise Do you remember when It didn’t use to be so dark And everything was possible Still
Fathom
34
With my feet upon the ground I lose myself Between the sounds and open wide to suck it in I feel it move across my skin I’m reaching up and reaching out
Midnight
35
Descending to an other world Like a paracosm Hidden from light and sight Eyes adjusted in the dark
Evening
36
The way the light hits the road The way my eyes cannot move And for one moment I thought That I was lost among the lights of houses
The Birds
37
Migration Icarus Fall from grace A messenger Guardian of the underworld Keeper of souls
Because I’m stupid
38
I’m really, very foolish I know of no one other than you You’re looking at someone else Yet you have no idea of my feelings like this As I watch you walking past, I’m still happy
Something to remember
39
I was waiting for you outside I wasn’t sure if you were going to show up Maybe a last-minute decision But, you came and we had ice cream I don’t remember what I chose, but you chose strawberry and banana
Waiting
40
I won’t be in your days I won’t be remembered either However, only you, I looked only at you I’m making memories alone
Winter
41
I know if I wanted to see you I should go to the movies Time’s so cruel I hate us Seeing each other for once is now so hard between us It’s all winter here even in August
The Pot
42
Now you’re weeping shades of cozen indigo Got lemon juice up in your eye When you pissed all over my black kettle
Trapped
43
Black then white are all I see Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines
Schism
44
I know the pieces fit ‘cause I watched them fall away Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so We cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication
Euphoria
45
I don’t know what this emotion is If this place is also inside a dream My surroundings are getting more and more transparent I hear the far-away ocean Across the dream, over the horizon I’m going to the place that’s getting clearer
Horizon
46
Were you wandering around Looking for an erased dream too? It’s different from the typical definition of destiny Your pained eyes are looking at the same place as me
Impressionism 04
47
The wide growth ring in your life That is also a part of you, that is also you
This moment
48
Urging me to cross the line Reaching out to embrace the random Reaching out to embrace whatever may come
Bewilderment
49
To feel inspired To fathom the power To witness the beauty To bathe in the fountain To swing on the spiral And still be a human
