I stood and watched
galaxies collide
held my breath
kept screaming at the sky
and I could barely see
anything but gold
and it won’t stop falling to the ground
and I would never be
anything like I have been before
tell them this is the day the stars
fell off the sky and I can’t help
but stand here watching from afar
a universe descending
today
so I lay down
among the fading light
and heard her wipe
the memory off the sky
she could no longer be
the moon without her gold
so she won’t stop denying that she lost
all that she ever loved
her luminaries tumbling to the ground
tell them this is the day the stars
fell off the sky and I can’t help
but stand here watching from afar

II - Glow

tiny globes
weary glare
tired life
hardly there
clinging to
what will be
gone by dawn
finally free
gathering
all your dust
so your light
won’t be lost
from now on
inside of me
you remain
my galaxy
look
what
I become
all
the
stars
become
my glow
mother come
look at me
mother please
can’t you see
mother what
do you mean
mother wait
please don’t leave
look
what
I become
all
the
stars
become

drawn to places
no one follows
me and all the
light inside
haunted by the
ones that see my
deepest feelings
i can’t hide
I can feel them
coming closer
sending shivers
down my spine
hear their breath up
on my back and
I don’t dare to
look behind
wait my dear
what are your running
from
I’ll save you
I’ll be all you
want
don’t worry bout the light
says the darkness
never
thought they
could see
through me
never
thought I’d
be this
bright
but in
side me
for all
to see
there’s the
uni
verse’s
light
not a
single
place to
hide from
them and
there’s no
end in
sight
hunt me
chase me
use me
rape me
only
savior
is the
night
wait my dear
what are your running
from
I’ll save you
I’ll be all you
want
don’t worry bout the light
says the darkness

amber
heart beat
always
with me
though he
slays me
oh so
dearly
plain white
bed sheets
never
scared me
til he
tied me
guess he
loves me
there he comes again
life already fading
fading
won’t you let me die

V - Paper Planes
04:31
|
|||
|
paper planes
among the flakes
of distant portraits
from other lives
yet again
the sky within
still as bright as
it once had been
paintings and landscapes
are coming to life
merging into a whole universe, I can’t be dreaming,
I am not dreaming
could it be
all I see
this is real and
you’re here with me
but paper planes
don’t remain
floating high
where am I?

she woke up in sweat again
drenched in her own fear
nightmares became real again
of course she is still here
so I keep digging holes inside
an empty shallow mind
looking for the static,
trying so desperately to find
a semblance of what could be
distant noise of muttered words
but even if I’m shouting
none of this is ever heard
I can’t make a sound
and this is why they call me ‚mute‘
the girl that never can break through
and I can’t use my mouth
the yarn they used to sew it up
was made of what is left of you
I killed him in my sleep again
and then I kissed his corpse
somewhere else she’s whole again
still I don’t know what for
so I keep digging holes inside
an empty shallow mind
looking for the static,
tryin so desperately to find
a semblance of what could be
distant noise of muttered words
but even if I’m shouting
none of this is ever heard
I can’t make a sound
and this is why they call me ‚mute‘
the girl that never can break through
and I can’t use my mouth
the yarn they used to sew it up
was made of what is left of you

stop collecting all the
pieces, I don’t care, I don’t, no
anything is oh anything is oh anything is a lie
what ever you were told,
I wasn’t made of gold, oh,
anything is oh anything is oh anything is a lie
My soul
still it glows
cut what’s left of me to
pieces I don’t care I don’t, no,
anything is oh anything is oh anything is a lie
so pull me out of sight
i cannot stand the light, no,
anything is oh anything is oh anything is a lie
there’s nowhere to hide, no
where I’ll go it follows
world without a shadow
won’t somebody bring this to an end
nowhere to hide, no
where I’ll go it follows
world without a shadow
won’t somebody bring this to an end
where do I find
the key
to where
the sea
is still
the way
it used
to be
and that’s
where I
was ment
to be
the stars
in me
have wai
ted long
enough
to see
the moon
is still
up high
an I
believe
in all
the lies
so take my soul, I let go

barely breathing
but I feel the waves
(they’re swaying purposely
along the endless see)
faceless sailors
whispering I failed
(they’re greeting peacefully
but then condemning me)
from a distance
i can hear their eyes
liquid darkness
mirroring the sky
(they’re swaying purposely
along the endless see)
bygone shadows
gathering tonight
so here am I
floating light
rising tide
washing up a feeling
those little marbles of undying glow
never were meant to do harm to you, no
why why why have you
never thought of trusting
gazing through my life
counting fireflies
and then i listen to the one that was
telling me about the concept of
how all the stars belong
right inside me where I put them and
how i have to stop forsaking
what was meant to be my strength
I am your home, I got all of your light
you’re with me, you’re alive
for I am your sky
I got you, I need you, I love you, I promise, I try
and look how I shine
let them see that it’s mine
I am the light
