Fire and Ember
07:05
|
|||
We once walked
and you went way to far
from where
we both grew up.
We once laughed
but you sold your own charm
and lost
what set you on fire.
But fire turns to ember
and tales remain untold.
What once hold us together
Tears us apart so far.
Can’t you see?
Back we roamed
through our dreams
and fell in seas of
mutual visions.
I was blunt
not to see.
So, still you are.

Vanish
07:55
|

Baby, it’s not hard to stay alone,
it’s not hard to stay at home,
while you leave me here.
Maybe I’m glad to be alone,
and I want to remain unknown
just to feel assured.
I found myself caged and
tied to your determinations.
Set up in a static frame
that is you.
Every breath of yours
is raising a storm in my mind.
Twisting and glaring what’s needed
to see, I keep blind.
With every step that you take
the soil of my consciousness quakes.
My world keeps trembling and longing
For it’s own sake.
Baby, it’s not hard to stay alone,
it’s not hard to stay at home,
while you leave me here.
Maybe I’m glad to be alone,
and I want to remain unknown
just to feel assured.

The Garden
06:04
|
|||
Come to my garden of quietness
and hear your pondering silence.
Did you feel
how all love bred within?
Did you miss
how all joy soaked your skin?
Did you feel
how all cold fell apart?
Did you miss
how all warmth filled your heart?
Find the sea of your reflections and
let your heart become the echo chamber.
Once you calm, the garden might grow in you.
The garden might grow in you.
And after all, blossoms show up to you.
The blossoms show up to you.
Did you feel
how all love bred within?
Did you miss
how all joy soaked your skin?
Did you feel
how all cold fell apart?
Did you miss
how all warmth filled your heart?
Come to my garden of quietness
and hear your pondering silence.

Smoke and Ember
03:32
|
|||
Days are pale - only without you.
I fear the - moments without you.
Hold you tight - when you blur my view.
Feel your light - as I burn like you.

Hills of Gold
05:06
|
|||
I don’t know a way,
just feel the urge to go.
Despite what they say,
nothing can make me slow.
I follow the colours of my mind.
And if I stumble, I keep on walking.
The colours of my mind will guide me.
I keep on dreaming, they tremble.
They promise wealth as you grow old,
and to climb hills of gold.
All that glitters lays down to your feet,
but my heart needs more to beat.
I dream and the world trembles.
I follow the colours of my mind.
And if I stumble, I keep on walking.
The colours of my mind will guide me.
I keep on dreaming, they tremble.

Sunwalk
07:59
|
|||
Light shines in our hide
where we wait for signs.
Every day we yearn
for our long return to the sun.
Long days have passed
nothing to grasp.
We don’t yet know
where we should go.
A flight without hunt
and dreams without sleep
to find what is lost.
Mirage without water
and a house without walls
is all that we got.
How should we even know
what the sun is, if not false?
Just a schemer,
but what else to follow?

Woody Allen
03:36
|
|||
My mom was right
with the serious side
of life, that had to come.
Once we were immortal
but we just grew old
and something got lost.
Once we felt like heroes
by fooling on life
that was all that we got.
Time set its marks
as I look on my skin
and read the scars
of my better times.
This crisis makes me feel
like I am trapped
in a Woody Allen movie.
