Unspoken
Unspoken
left unsaid
Think about it till it
confidently rests
Speak it freely
shout it loud
if you need to point the finger
and place the blame
Time to scatter
Time to mend
the broken pieces
of your self
Time for grieving
or celebrate
But you can’t forgive
what you can’t forget
Last to notice
first to speak
Well, you know there is
a moment for everything
Fool your ears
close your eyes
Those who laugh last
will get to laugh twice
Send for ravens
Ask the crowd
Sooner or later
all tables turn ‘round
To accuse is
your privilege
but the one to fall
may be your head
So leave it unspoken
and unsaid
Think about it till it
confidently rests
‘cause the revenge
that dwells in silence
is your friend

Alice in Nighttown

Alice in Nighttown
Berlin seems the right place to raise my head
I listen to the sound of quiet riots on the loose
It suddenly yawns on me this won’t be a sunny day
The pleasure’s gone
But Mercury’s up and ready for the cruise
I keep travelling all around the world
Stopping just for changing horses every now and then
Ready-made and full prêt-à-porter
I take my clothes off and I pass out on a different bed each night
I climb upstage and smoke my cigarette
The flashes blind me but I muster the courage for the cruise
The barrage floods my senses once again
The images will mark the part we’ll leave out of the bruise
The world’s revolving all around my head
There’s still no spark to set the horses
Running up the heights
The forest hides the greenest of the trees
But lights the path that leads straight into Nighttown’s neon lights
Blame New York
Blame Shanghai
Blame the mirrors
And blame the fly
There’s nothing wrong in
Shaking hands sometimes
Drop the needle
Drop the pikes
Contradictions make good bed allies
But nome of them will take you home tonight
Hope to make it
Hope to last
Hope to reach far enough on time
Hope daddy’s gonna pay for my crashed car
So kiss me baby
And kiss me fast
‘Cause our love won’t make it past the night
Hope our kisses don’t leave you no scars
Girl, don’t let the bastards grind you down
They will not only tread on you but
Put their foot in your mouth
There’s no side effects for the medicine
So take the pill and shake the whole foundations of the crowd
So blame New York
Blame Shanghai
There’s nothing wrong in
Shaking hands sometimes
Drop the needle
Drop the pikes
No contradictions will take you home tonight
Hope to make it
Hope to last
Hope daddy’s gonna pay for my crashed car anyway
So kiss me baby
Yeah, kiss me baby
‘Cause maybe our love won’t make it past the night

Gravity
Can’t you see the knives flying?
Can’t you hear them tear the air?
They were shot by some smile
With consequences ecerywhere
The lift’s stuck up in mid-floors
Doors are open
And when I come to senses
Rope breaks, cabin comes alive
And I’m unlocked
And I’m unstuck
From gravity
And humanity
I’m pulled up
I’m blown away
Out in a dream
The avenue’s all packed up
And still nobody’s touching me
The flood avoids my space
So nonchalantly I stand still
Both my feet on one tile
And when I come to senses
The tile takes off still bearing me
There’s static in my eyesight
When trying to seize reality
And the image trembles
Comes and goes, unfocusing
I collect my questions, and answer none
So when I come to senses
The radio waves sorround me
Now I’m unlocked from gravity
And I’m unstuck from humanity
I’m pulled up and blown away out in a dream

Healing hands

Healing hands
Almost but not near in sight
Let fall the pieces by the tableside
A game, a bridging rule
Up to the place where pieces no longer mind
How I wish it was true
Sit down, look into my eyes
There’s no chance or time for you to build a lie
Stand up! Take your clothes off!
All this damaging will not be ending right
It’s all in my healing hands
Don’t cry, be a good girl,
And rest your sleepy eyes on the couch
It’s not so hard to get a breath of smoke
While being chained to the ground
You used to be so beautiful
Now you’re so hard to see
So pristine, so clear to me
Now it all bursts by the seams
And I’m not gonna bend at all
In front of you, my dear,
‘Cause everyone will hear me
When I go out and scream!!
It’s all in my healing hands
How I wish it was true that you needed me
All this steps I’m taking unconsciously
Even if you said I wouldn’t reach
There’s no room for both of us in here
It’s all in my healing hands
I’ll spread healing across the land
You can breath now
It's overunderstood

In your house
04:53
|
|

In your house
Upside down and pushed against the ground
Walking forwards anyways but not safe nor sound
With a lifeline torn in pieces in my hand
And a vision of deserved reward allowed
Singing songs too sweet and wild again
You were precious once but now you're thorned and stained
In a flying wreck along a crowded path
We keep trying to bridge the gaps across the way
It's morning when we find some time to talk
And you tell me all those things you can't unlock
You reach out a hand and ask me for a truce
But you just want some time to tie the noose
I won't be coming home today
My oldest pains won't find allay
My legs support no more the burdens of a drying life
Without a decent name
We're not an empty slot
And we're not each other's own
And we won't bedrift again
And won't benefit again
Of each other's company
Or each other's craving needs
Abandon me, willingness
Away all coincidence
Save me from the bare childness
You hide under that fair dress
All our books have been depaged
No more I'll hesitate
No more I'll hesitate
If i’m not coming home today
Don’t you dare think i’ve gone astray
It’s just i realised there’s nothing there to light my nights
And wake through the day
We're not an empty slot
And we're not each other's own
And we won't bedrift again
And won't benefit again
Of each other's company
Or each other's craving needs
Just know that no more I will hesitate

Chère Juliette
I’m still awake after days cut a-drift on my own
You’re still in here ‘cause somehow I can’t stand being alone
Seems it’s going nowhere
All I do is just stare
Day and night I wait for a sign, Juliette
Nothing at all breaks the silence in this old tin town
Not since the card castle fell card by card on the ground
I still remember your dress, shoes and white wedding gown
Seems all this time we were making a stupid countdown
Lost along the way
Broken, beat and spared
Sore and unprepared to go on, Juliette
I can’t believe all the years we have thrown through the drain
Mine was the hand but, somehow, yours is the blame
Where has this love gone?
Where has this time gone?
Where has this love gone?
Oh, wake up, my love
I just can’t go on
Oh, what have I done?
With love,
Romeo

Judas
Once upon a time we dressed so fine and smelled so good
We smoked our long thick cigarettes and drank our fines booze
We raised an eyebrow now and again and smiled our secret smile
And everything was set for the cruise
Judas hears the call he’s waiting for though he don’t know
The sea of arms is praising, their foreheads on the floor
A blink, a wink, a loving kiss out of a swirling string
But Judas never picks up the phone
What are you crying for, babe?
What are you crying for, babe?
You had it coming when
Took option for the night
When I recall some were cut before
What are you crying for, babe?
Smoke before his eyes to tell the truth without the ties
The mask reveals the man and then the man gets thrown aside
Courage’s built on question as poetry’s on rhye
And Judas is the master of the eye
The poet sat on his watch so he could be on time
To sing about the government, the tombstones and the lies
A frome for broken pictures turns to neon city lights
The poet just shakes his head and sighs
What are you crying for babe?
All this handwriting carving into ancient walls
Shakes every tree root to grow new branches in fall
These are the weakest days
These are the greatest days
What are you crying for, babe?
What are you crying for, babe?
What were you thinking when
Took option for the night
When I recall some were cut before
What are you crying for, babe?

Glass house in a tree

Glass house in a tree
You’ve been living in a glass house up in a tree
Among the lowest branches where the sun won’t reach
In between the greenest leaves where you can be seen
But untouched by all tha bastards trying to wreck your speech
You seem not afraid of anything up here
Being surrounded by a halo of tranquility
All you hear is just the sound of your herd of sheep
All you see is just the rubble beneath your feet
All singing
Drain the big fish!
Through your fingers run the money rivers of this dirty land
And you’re pretty damn sure no one’s gonna build a dam
‘Cause there’s always this tiny mantra on everybody’s mind
The grass is always greedier on the other side

Lady's eyes

Lady’s eyes
“A light up in the sky” she said
A question here on Earth, if anything
We try and try, recurring dreams
Of handtied individuals off the grid
Just discard the other option, quit the job
Grab them reigns and hold them tight
Against your own
Faith is just a hole you dig inside your soul
Lady’s eyes spoke to my eyes like none before
A myriad colour clothing,
A flashy, sparky surface rolling in
A passing perfect lightning
Shining, strolling, calling for nightly sin
A reason to quit breathing in,
A reason to breath out maturity
Just out of curiosity...
How long has she been walking off the grid?
All the vultures and the thieves hung on her back
Have been draining on those blood lines she now lacks
And keep her walking unsurmounted off the charts
Lady’s lies will fool no one but herself
Lady’s pleasures turn to lessons in her face but
Lady’s books are getting stuck upon the shelf
She asks for everything you lost
She asks without expecting a reply
The books and clocks I learnt upon
Are now the family jewels meant to survive
On the surface of the rock is where we crawl
With our children waiting for their time to grow
Like the seeds in our hands waiting to be sown
Lady’s hand tries reaching out noe that I’m gone
Lady’s voice still speaks to me beyond the phone
But all this time we always knew we were but ghosts...

The Wait II (Anxiety)
07:31
|
|

The wait
A waterfall frozen in mid-air,
fishes travel beneath my skin,
drawing circles, leading nowhere
A broke-down car on the highway,
a thirst for some precious gasoline,
a burst of grass on stone landscape
An ironic pain in my empty chest
A stupid loss in the safest bet
A sarcastic laughter on anxiety
Even when you know bells won’t ring for me
I’m not working on it, and I won’t indeed!
I got chills on my toenails
Been dodging curveballs all through the week
Timeless, restless and downhill
Pushed and pulled over everything
The storm keeps raging all over me
And I’m showing everyone else my teeth
And i salivate at the very thought
While my trembling hands get all sore and torn
Just a single touch, just a gentle sip
Just a surface scratch, just a hole to peep
I’m not working on it and I never will
I can’t hold it much longer
The question burns and my fingers bleed
I can’t wait till it’s over
A search for wisdom and knowledge
A quest for something I can’t fullfill
With the ordinary
It’s a concrete crown when i raise my head
It’s an empty death on my hunger bed
It’s a flashing light in my vacant place
Lighting what i lack and I’ll fill up someday
I CAN'T STAND THE WAIT!!
