Violently Pink

Blank faces
big dresses
white ties black
insides, there's
nothing I want to know
about these empty vessels
Why don't you show us something
meaningful behind?
Put on your
best smile and
dress up you
will be a perfect
flower with nothing
to show but lies
Why don't you build your success
upon a fair world?
Makeup's melting
time runs out and
drugs make you forget
violently
Flowers wither
green leaves dry up
autumn calls them but
at least they nurture us
Blank faces …

Afraid of Red
07:58
|

|
We're afraid of red
we chose pale grey instead
I fear your ardent call
but still it's all I want
We're afraid of red
and yet all hope is dead
I crave for your soothing gaze
once more we're caught in this impossible maze
Wild bird on a wire
come face my desire
If you hurt not to get hurt
if you jump off the cliff tied to a rope
if you walk with worn out shoes
won't you damage yourself even more?
Let’s turn the spiral into sphere
rebuild our history without fear
Breathe my blood
touch my voice
hear my warmth
from far beyond
Push the space
take the mace
pull the sword
and fight the fright away

Biting Yellow
04:43
|
|||
|
We are facing the abyss
after fire burns, only the iron chain
remains
The ashes are a bliss
upon which we build our palace
with memories
Golden particles in the air
with you I can just be myself
not impossible, I think we could be
one more particle flying free

Green Grows
04:34
|
|||
|
You are the soil
where my roots feed
Drop, drop water drop, drop water
stop, stop matter stop, stop matter
You are the soil
where my roots feed
I am dry
take this seed

Green Dies

|
These woods have seen you and me
covered us with seasonal shades
Every month different
every year the same
as we grow old but they remain

Blue Sky

I see blue in every shade of this house
the city's dull grey
the ocean here doesn't wash the air
Family, an ideal so hard to build
but green grows the grass
Who is that brave to stop the tide?
This once lonely child
turned into an adult
insecure inside
they follow the marked road
Shepherd in a glass
whose voice was silenced
the eyes behind your back
would guide you to freedom
Another leave hits the ground
your fingers covered in mud
remove it from their wounds
seeds nowhere to be found
This blue sky shows no limits and still here I am
it mirrors our hearts
a hunger so hard to satisfy
Climbing race, a jail we are free to choose
be sure to pay your bills
they'll keep you alive till seventy
This once lonely child…
You know safety is imaginary
this time leave your delusions behind and
you feel your future's always been inside you
just break these chains, security
imprisons you
just live your life
there's nothing to be attached to

Blue Ocean

|
I tried counting sheep
in this bright, spooky night
I made an abc of images
to keep away the fright
I've found the perfect symbol
but the very same question
keeps wandering around
wandering around
Still, I know they're so near
and I am yet so far
being just the child I am
I'll keep them all away
with the look in my eyes

Heavy Purple
10:05
|
|||
|
I wave goodbye
sailing forward, never looking back
My fists are clamped
as the waves fiercely swallow my past
Heart, tell me where is home
will I ever find my magic stone
This misty horizon
turns to shore and welcomes me inside
This endless path
a way to escape my own wrath
in this distant realm
not even their shadow overwhelms
I sacrificed my treasure
almost had the gold
but chose the rust
Poor is who seeks pleasure
in the land of greed and distrust
In this maze
gone astray
I'm confused, is there
only one way
I don't care about
all I left behind
I will learn, a new
era will come
Sailing forward
never look back
heavy purple
as I fight the storm
Look at the sky
heavy purple, distant ray of light
I fight the tide
and your voice calling me back home
In this maze…
You know safety is imaginary
this time leave your delusions behind and
you feel your future's always been inside you
just break these chains, security
imprisons you
