1.
Stars Are Memories Stars are memories buried in the sky In the glow of an evening choir Some are shy and some are proud Some are silent and some are loud So they toll the knell of all maybes Nothing lasts beyond recovery My life is betrayed In secrecy My life is betrayed so quietly A star formerly filled a vacancy As a witness of my privacy I got to know her, her little oddities Moving forward, Backward, and sadly Knowing past and future she looks after me So devotedly, terrifyingly
2.
Umbrellas In The Rain Umbrellas in the rain Offer a perfect stage To the world I don’t drive a cloud But I wish I could My home would then remain Open to whatever May lie ahead Akin to watching those Who’ll be reaching my age Priviledged to live on the edge We have crudely blundered your birth
3.
Almost Handsome With The Background Of an asylum seeker You obeyed the Threefold order Hey, Almost Handsome, Where are you from ? Hey, Almost Handsome, Where have you gone ? Charm, Luck & Currency Drawings in the sand Dystopian rivals We all experience Laughed away And longer if I can
4.
Fountain Of blood The sun is bleeding on the landscape Like an hymn, exhausted to skies, Along the river of oblivion, The dying of the day The pool under my skin waits for tide Eventful feelings, life repenting My fountain of blood is sleeping And I long to swim in red The night silently comes around me Like a horse riding down slowly What is there to loose, this time ? Back to case number one
5.
Let's Away 06:46
Let’s Away Let’s away Before and after The end of our lesson Let’s away Dismiss advisors Of class or seduction Your embrace can challenge me Shall you not covet ? Your embrace can challenge me Are you a Capulet ? Let’s away Flood and cheers Continual prison Let’s away Undermining years Stand for dedication We assume we are leading We don’t recall intruders We are fair to foreigners We ensure they are bleeding Doubt leave lovers insecure Spending time secluding auctions As long as life endures Unveil emotions
6.
You’re My Church You made me move outside myself Thirst came in the very first place No commonplace least part of faith Survive to this kind of Illness But you’re my church, Making me feel more alive Off for a leak I opt to live On lakes, In the mood Believe, survive this move Perky art in full bloom
7.
Summer’s Grave Young shoulders Grieve by the grave What it takes To be on a slow wave Innocence & disarray Cut & dry legs Tell in subtle ways Where we’re supposed to look & pray Eyes of blue Got under way As we stepped over the threshold Of something new Battles are shaping up for you And we get ready to shut the light To illuminate dark corners And bury our treasure Into this summer’s grave
8.
Value In It 03:56
Value In It Set an example Elope with her Emblem of neurosis Strive to hide nothing I would not second guess Anything Under your spell What fires together Wires together There is value in it Just as much value In your suffering There is value in it Just as much value In your pleasure Sublime divides About leaving Sublime divides About returning You’re too intense Departing aimlessly
9.
Lies An Orphan Beneath the surface Of any individual Lies an orphan Tradition lineage Only to join The community of dolls Mother is gone ? Mother will Presence entirely missed Home lurching my sense Of myself Fragmented people That we are
10.
Not In my Name Mornings like parables Smiling back Without knowing why In case you missed it Your daughters don’t dream Of their future anymore Thus quieting the self Feels good to be impure Despite these trying times Change the topic and the goal Someday it will be Your turn to bend Someday it will be Your turn to end Not in my name, it’s your turn Not in my name, you’ll burn Don’t get personnal Override posterity Anger has deepened Reluctant to carbon Someday this will be All yours to shove Someday this will be All yours to solve Not in my name, it’s your turn Not in my name, you’ll burn
