goodbye Empty
02:18

Let the winds of fall
Blow through gaps and holes
In the houses on my street
They just sit and wait
Through their nights and day
Waiting for their bricks to part
I am not like them
I like to pretend
Sitting on the library floor
Chasing smokes and shadows
Let me take the lead
I won’t fear defeat
I’ll struggle till the end
Wrong is still a side
Better to decide
Then to be a monk from Nowhere land
Cancel all your dreams
Send away your whims
Let me waste the time of your life on
Chasing smokes and shadows

suburbs on a Hazy Day
05:26
|
|||
|
Skin’s old
Time takes its toll
Forever is not attractive at all
Sore throat, rain coat
Dark puddles outside my front door
So sad and cold
Nice world
Searching for traces
Lost in translations
Giving away
Things that I’ve earned
through my years of possession
Life on a hazy day
Times are being changed so hastily
Nothing is as it used to be
Corrections are made but
this record has been played

Antwerp by night
windows are blind
wind keeps me still
makes me shiver inside
I never dare to look
into her eyes
one never knows what
kind of surprise he may find
walk through the park
empty and dank
dwell in its triangle
dance in the dark
take some advice from your
verminous guides
searching for places
time never finds
dives where old sailors
remember the tales of their youth
lost to the sweets
of the old crimson streets
cherish the pieces
of days gone to bits
reaching through gold-rusted trees
to the stars
each one is linked to a scar on their hearts
crashing the sky in a venture to fly
crawling in pain back to Norwegian pine
chasing the same bitter-sweet lilac wine
down by the shallow river of time

morning Shades
03:01
|
|||
|
keep away from fire child
keep away
suppress your desires child
night and day
always on guard
don’t wake the dragon up
he will surely burn you alive
in the dark caves of your mind
keep away from fire child
keep away
nightfall brings the quite riot
to your grave
lying with a single thought
covered by the veil of god
sleep away into the morning
songs of birds they will warn you
when it’s here
sleep don’t fear
sleep away into the morning shades

earthbound Expanded
03:49
|
|||
|
when my side of this planet turns
to face the darkness of expanding
universe with stars and rocks
I can’t see a thing because
I’m locked inside of my own head
with all my worries and my doubts
and nothing that exists beyond
can ever occupy my world
but one thing I fear the most
the speed at which this earth ball turns
on and on my days are gone
on and on my days are gone
on and on my days are gonna fall
sedated by my dusted set
I’m working on my sad pamphlet
on how this world has screwed me down
how nothing ever comes around
oh, I am just a tiered young man
means tested troubles never end
so leave me at my bitter stout
I’m proud of being down and out
and one thing I enjoy the most
is the speed at which this earth ball turns
on and on my days are gone
on and on my days are gone
on and on my days are gonna fall…
down on the shifting sands
go and get your life a happy end

white night Vapidity
05:12
|
|||
|
Shells filled with sad yellow light
on these vapid white nights
Sky can provide none but rhyme
on these vapid white nights
Ghost town you’re real and alone
all your ghosts are gone
No one to dwell in your shadows and lights
Stoned to the ground you’re annoyed
with your silent void
Caught in the ties of your days and nights
Pawns of this rakish empire
are so heavily tired
Taints in the transparent nights
filled with sad yellow light
Ghost town you’re real and alone
all your ghosts are gone
No one to dwell in your shadows and lights
Stoned to the ground you’re annoyed
with your silent void
Caught in the ties of your days and nights
|

Turn around
Look with your eyes closed
There where your
Memories bring back the ghosts
Ocean waves
They make you feel small and lonely
Nothing can reach you
Into the past you’re dissolving
Through the streets
You walk the dead
Lights are on
Houses are cold and filled with warmth
Sun is gone
The silence will fall upon you
Now you’re hurt
Looking for something you don’t have
Ghosts fill your head
Call your name you can’t ignore them
Walking the dead
Leading you, you don’t control them
Step into the light!

days Before
04:50
|
|||
|
It takes time
to figure it all out
your mind
is losing the taste of a doubt
The unspeakable can happen when you
drift along
It’s all gone
you let it drown
your boat
is dragging you down to the bottom
The unspeakable can happen when you
drift along

Her dark eyes shimmer in their thin lines
in the fog of this early evening
it’s cold at last
the winter time will soon be mine
Streets are orphan
air is thin and sharp
waiting for December lights
to chase away November
She’s sleeping years instead of hours
and her skin has a bitter-sour taste
of things to come and yet disposed
She’s a ghost
Trees are naked
waiting for the snow
waiting for December lights
to chase away November
silent house dark and warm
street lamp’s soft, amber glow
cracked up chairs, broken cups
things of light floating through
the darkness that surrounds my memory lain
I close my eyes
Striking clock breaks the silence
in my rooms as the hours
echo through my empty hallway
I sense her standing in my doorway
