So what do we do now?
Should we say it’s over?
No one left to trust
no hope for redemption
So where do we go now?
Are we cursed forever?
Shall we not laugh again?
I want a life back
do you remember how spring begun?
together on the lake shore
what were you thinking then?
Was I in danger?
We were still making jokes
despite the lack of sleep
and all seemed so in place
in the afternoon light
how could I foresee?
please tell me
And now that I recall you
there’s lithium in my veins
that turns my limbs in stone
I’m down to my knees
and I wish the doom that hit me
could smash my body too
as I don’t want to live this
or to care about what happens
tomorrow
Hunger crave
where do we go now?
What happens next?
My heart aches
where do we go now?
What happens next?
Being right is worthless
when you are left alone
I don’t feel any better
I know you will be gone
I don’t feel any better
because we have both lost
I need you all to tell me
why you keep yourself alive
what you still hope could happen
if you really find honour in decay
all the folks are going mad
they just want someone to hate
do you really find honour in decay?
do you really find honour in decay?
What happened to
my will of life?
Where is yours gone?
I did let you make me happy
I let you ruin myself as well
What happened to the light?
I can’t see thing since you are gone
Where did you bring the light?
There is no good since you are gone
Where did you bring the light?
No one with me the day I’ll fall
So what do we do now?
Should we say it’s over?
No one left to trust
no hope for redemption
So where do we go now?
Are we cursed forever?
Shall we not laugh again?
I want a life back now

Flares

I’m turning into something I don’t like
and I’ve always feared to become
as if the story of my life was in my hands
and I’d already knew it by heart
and I couldn’t escape it
and whatever will happen
it doesn’t look good from here
it’s not worth the wait, the labour
I try to look alright but I’m turning
in stone and I’ve forgot how to feel
my mind is a secret and no one believes
what I tell as a joke is real
Disorientated but alive
I have no goal left in my mind
not a destination
where to look for perfection
boundless flares breaking up my vision
loveless space all around my prison
lightless days I would rather stay in
lifeless maids blaming me in my dreams
talking to people has slowly become
the fear of being hurt or to scare
when I am with you I feel no pleasure
believe me, now what should I dare?
If you came to join me
I wouldn’t believe you
I would still stay stuck in here
I know I would hurt you or turn you insane
If you came to join me
I wouldn’t believe you
I would still stay stuck in here
I know I would hurt you or turn you insane
boundless flares breaking up my vision
loveless space all around my prison
lightless days I would rather stay in
lifeless maids blaming me in my dreams

Say what you like
I’m kneeling
unguarded castle
for you to prey and burn
I want this
I have no pride at all
I do want you
now I even know
that it comes in phases
like the ebb and flow
while the wheels are turning
but the fuel runs low
tell me where you’re going
tell me when I’ve gone
Insane
forgive me
I just tried to fall in love again
how futile, inappropriate
for someone like me
and someone like you
fallen demon
forever in pain
doomed to helplessness
without a name
we’re made of shadow
but in different forms
we’re embodying noise
in isolated souls
while our feet are running
on divergent roads
tell me where you’re going
tell me when I’ve gone
I can leave my room no more and
half asleep I hear you leaving for work
I desire not to desire at all
an unspoilt tomorrow
breathe
breathe again
turn your head
move your eyes to the light
I do want you
now I even know
that it comes in phases
like the ebb and flow
while the wheels are turning
but the fuel runs low
tell me where you’re going
tell me when I’ve gone
Insane
forgive me
I just tried to fall in love again
how futile, inappropriate
for someone like me
and someone like you
I no longer believe in fate
we’re just random people
with something to share
shut in the same building
by the jokes of time
together tomorrow divided today
we are

Survivor Syndrome

Is it true
most people act like mountains
they only erode with time?
They look great no more
and they don’t protect you
from sunlight and storms
give you light air to breathe
Here’s a plain
just an arid desert that creatures
now avoid
miracles don’t happen
nothing good will come
and help me to survive
arid feelings
useless seedings
wasting my sense of duty
and exhausting my will of life
there used to be a quite unhappy child
expecting future to be better than his past
but years has passed, he tried out many things
but little’s got better since then
Time did pull out its claws
destroyed my faith in others
and pierces through my stomach
every time I fall asleep
Lull me, calm my demons
every time I fall asleep
my desire is so strong
and I am so alone
my desire is so strong
I am so alone
but I have to hate you all
you’re wasting my sense of duty
and exhausting my will of life
a lost promise of long-awaited bliss I see
sirens they have
always remembered my own name
Lull me, calm my demons
every time I fall asleep

I feel bad
do I have the right to say it loud
without being told I’m sick or feeling guilty?
I feel bad in the evil world you rule
I feel like evil has won
from before I could even fight it
bear inside me all the love
they never let me give away
but it’s rotten now, it hurts
it weights, it makes me cry
when I don’t know what to do
when I feel alone and heavy
I feel tired
I don’t know what to do in my life
besides earning my bread
and survive one more day
And once I even thought
to change the world with music
to gain a worthy life to live
with all the ones I loved
shouting fears together
with voices and guitars
but I’ve seen them end bad
their dreams into oblivion
evil won, and you drown in rage
with no target
evil won in all your selfishness
you fall
in how scared you are to feel responsible
when you feel you’re bound
I feel like evil has won
from before I could even fight it
can you tell the right from wrong
doing the latter despite everything?
Now that you are your mistakes
and the ones of those before you
live a life in obligation
a new original sin
I wish you all the worst
for your future
I wish you all the worst
you desired
and think you deserve
for your anguish
not to let your hounds
wander freely
I’m so sorry I wish you came back
evil won, and you drown in rage
with no target
evil won in all your selfishness
you fall
in fake smiles and artificial tears
you shed in public mournings
Be yourself
find your God
cut the ties
force the rules
smile at work
save the Earth
hide your rage
cry alone

I don’t let it out
but I feel dead already
it’s not a sight you can explain
there’s like a wall
between me and every feeling
me and anyone I meet
I see what happens like
with the glance of an angel
but a careless one who got so bored
by these paltry miserable
heaps of humid cells
who seem to care so much
but I still desire
and my nose’s still bleeding
during change of seasons every time
but I don’t believe myself
and I can’t reach out to them
even when I hate to be alone
I don’t let it out but I feel dead already
I have distilled my pain
purified it from any singular contingency
now it floats like aether
shape me
hollow me out
for I am made of clay
a weary river
is leaving me behind
but I still desire
and I still eat chocolate
even if it doesn’t really make me any good
and I try to fall in love
like a pill I swallow
but I feel unwanted, unsecure
stuck but safe in a living tomb
tired but safe in a scorching room
fine, but proud I have gone this down
stuck, who can help me to get out?

Do you realize
your choices do affect my life? I’m self like
you and one can’t really do it all alone
can’t I expect from others like you do?
I’m not your mother and
I work for my own good as well, at least I try
and not entirely, honestly
I’d really like to make you happy too
They say you only weep
if you know what’s good but you can’t really have it
my eyes have never shed a single tear
They say you only weep
if you know what’s good but you can’t really have it
I can’t believe that all but pain is real
I would die for
the only thing that makes me feel alive
I would die for
the only thing that makes me feel alive
Please forgive the deceptions
my intentions were good after all, and in the end
you can’t deny
you sometimes had a good time too
But I can only be exploited I can only long to
I’m the only one who makes things done for real
I’m the mother that forever gives but can not take
I’m the one that needs and nobody can help
Mother
my creatures cry for help
who can feed them?
Brother
will you feel pity for me
and try to stay?
Dreamer
my creatures yearn revenge
where can they find some?
Lover
will not you one day miss me
and want me back?
Mother
my creatures cry for help
who can feed them?
Brother
will you feel pity for me
and try to stay?
Don’t feel envy
there is nothing perfect about me,
I hate myself I hate when
the others seem to find a place to be
Dreamer
my creatures yearn revenge
where can they find some?
Lover
will not you one day miss me
and want me back?
They say you only weep
if you know what’s good but you can’t really have it
my eyes have never shed a single tear
They say you only weep
if you know what’s good but you can’t really have it
I can’t believe that all but pain is real
I would die for
the only thing that makes me feel alive
I would die for
the only thing that makes me feel alive

Holy mother of all anguished men
may be cursed your name forever
lone in your bowel I seek for refuge
and so I crave to find myself lost
among the moist and endless stripes of sky
that make their way through buildings
in your noise I feel at home
in your crowd I feel no one
and love so much to be no one
Past is a cage
why being myself weights so much?
What mad tragedy are we all playing?
Why do I smile if I think I’ve had enough?
From what I always feel I’m escaping?
And where do I want to go?
And where do I want to go?
Please heart stop beating so damn fast
time please tell me where you’re going
I don’t want you to flee if I’m alone
I don’t want to waste you this way

Like warm rain falling down on my shoulders
the drops on my eyes is to feel an emotion
and holding my breath before taking a new leap
the ground is so far you don’t see how it can hurt
you jump because you have to
you leave, you have no chance
hold my hand than push me down
say you care then beat me to the ground
future looks so great when you’re dreaming
if your weary mind can find a space to fly
and you still don’t know the weight and the labour
when under a storm no shelter’s in sight
if I let you make me happy
I’ll let you ruin myself as well
but if I keep myself safe alone
wouldn’t I be doomed as well?
say you like me shut me underground
say you care then beat me to the ground

To My Friends And Me

Why haven't I become as light as a feather
with all the things I had to leave behind?
And time is not always the cure
if you lack satisfactions
There's no future I see past tomorrow
I still think everything I do is wrong
in this spring that seems so out of place
I can't find a chance
Wake up
and live again
wake up
open your eyes and
wake up
and forgive the world for all the pain
but try and live again
I’m afraid to live my life alone
but I’ve become unable to love
I just see how we’d feel bad together
how we’d hurt each other
I don’t want to be still here tomorrow
but who’s left in the world that could help?
in this spring that seems so out of place
let me have a chance
please
Brace yourself
ask no questions
be prepared to hit the ground
overcome the fear of heights
one more time you will survive
Why everything always has to end
in the worst possible way?
Why haven't I after all these years
understood what I'm doing wrong?
Brace yourself
ask no questions
be prepared to hit the ground
overcome the fear of heights
one more time you will survive
Wake up
and live again
wake up
open your eyes and
wake up
and forgive the world for all the pain
but try and live again
