Short-Term Memory Loss
03:43
|
|||
Handcrafted colors of memories
That I won't ever see again
That I won't value as I used to do back then
I'm left to float
In current moments
And suddenly
The past is crashing under my feet
It cuts me out
Leaving me to listen to my heart
and follow its worthless beat
All I have -
Boxed up stories burning in a flame of times
Two zeros on rolling dice
If our past wasn't real and no future
Then what else do I have left to think of?
You came straight into my head
And set the bomb, remembering anything
And all days slip away and it feels like
Short-term memory loss
I guess it’s part of maturity
Colliding images of me
So harsh and so conspicuous,
You all could see
But why so cold in others' houses?
And where should I direct my sail if everywhere’s darkness?
Makes no sense
To go ahead and look in the past again
Knowing you've got no chance
All I have is a broken compass, arrow pointing west
An I’m seeking the island (sick on the island)
Before you build the new
You gotta break the old
And when you start make sure there’s nothing else to hold
It’s all inside your head, it’s breathing in your neck
Just try and don’t look back

A Farewell to Arms
04:27

Breathing life into focus
As these memories of you conspire
To fill my space
Did you know that I'm wanted?
All these criminals in me in chains
Behind my face
I'll be here
I'll be here waiting
For this moment to pass me by
Not a word was spoken
And we were so broken
So I'm telling you my last goodbye
Our eyes were on fire
Because they were liars
And I can't wake myself up from these
Nightmares of you
And with all that transpired
Lead me to believe your love was so insincere
But the way we are wired
Gave to endless iterations of, "just one more day"
And I again
I mourn
Your hands

Lonely

Whatcha doin' lonely?
Do you think it's all my fault?
I can be here when you call
And I'll be here when you don't
Whatcha doin' lonely?
Do you think your life is real?
What's it like inside your walls?
What's it like to feel?
When your ruined bones are
Never given the chance to heal
Did you ever stop to think
When your mirrors disappeared?
Whatcha doin' lonely?
Do you think it's all my fault?
That you spiraled down that well
Where the poison clenched your throat
Whatcha doin' lonely?
Do you think it's all surreal?
When you live inside your head
With the windows smeared in fear
And I'm coming for you
Only to find you're not there
Every time we start again
Falling ashes never clear

Strange I don't know your name
Your voices the blood in my veins
Walk on, burst into rain
And I hear the rolling
Thunder whispers in my ears
"You're not alone
You're not alone
Everyone's waiting for you to return"
Maybe I'm entangled with you
Maybe these circles will color us new
Find me when you learn the truth
[Those beautiful scars, pictures like magical dance
Will we end up losing it all at once?
Let's start pretending we had it all
Flowing, falling apart, waiting for our last call]

Aliens
04:17
|
|||
Undefined, forgotten, left to drown in mysteries
Lost in nowhere with hopes for new days
As you search - every answer is a room for more fears
Do you hear them laugh from far away?
Stay strong. There is no one to light this shady path
No map, no rules, no masters here in
Your life. You know we don’t belong here.
Should we fight? Should we speak? Should we care?
'Cuz we are aliens anywhere
All shapes match your
Transmitters-receivers
I count to four
And open my eyes. Was it real?
Was the backstage
Exactly what I thought it was
What is worse: thoughts, intentions or actions?
To be honest, I always thought that answers come with time
But I’m building castles of delusions
It feels safer to pretend it’s all fine
Than to stray in darkness as my time runs
I hope to escape this maze and fly above the clouds
And burn wings to fall but make it worth all my life
You know we don't belong here
Should we try? This is all so intense
We are aliens, aliens
We rise and we fall
From reaching sky to denial
I'm shaping it all in words to show you all my world
To wander between selections
For what it's worth
For what it's worth

Dreams in Fiction

Floating all alone
Through the monotone
Whispers in my ears
Moving still
This world looks the same
The smell a shade of grey
I caught you in your sleep
Or was that me?
Curiosity
Haunting me
I can't believe you'd think that I was real
Diamonds in your eyes
Bending light
My mind was bathed in colors of the night
Teeming with regret
I will find you yet
My thoughts will always flow
Through your walls
And never will you know
What I was looking for
For words are only stares
Through the glare
Curiosity
Haunting me
I can't believe you'd think that I was real
Your velocity
Breaking me
I can't believe I'd think that you were here

A Strand Viridian

Like yesterday never came
Ever-fixed lights mark all our days
In space
Slow motion in surround
Your eyes eclipse
The flickers and the sound
Alone with me
Spin me into your web again
Keep us suspended in this place
In space
Slow motion in surround
Your eyes eclipse
The flickers and the sound
Alone
Afterimage of you
Comes bleeding through
You're the redshift to my supernova
Light the fuse
Our nights in space
Slow motion in surround
Your eyes eclipse
The flickers and the sound
Alone..
With me..
Alone..

Medicine

By now I remember nights we were drunk and bitter,
But it’s okay
We're all playing games to lose, begging for extension
We fade away.
And you pull and push, you lie without a sound
Make me feel right and slightly bring me down
Whenever you come
The sun will rise again to set another scene
Percolate through your surface,
I want you here
I want you not to be afraid
Come closer, baby, did you take your medicine?
Sincerity is our therapy
And I hope that you can be a friend
It only counts if you play the part of who you are
In only counts
(Our worlds collide)
Your only way
To take the path of happiness
We feel alive
(Tonight we feel alive)
Afraid, we’re hiding in these walls, playing by their rules
So much to give
We're all already dead if we don’t give ourselves
A chance to live.
Come closer, baby, I could be your supplement
To escape from this circus
A therapy
And I hope that you can be a friend.

Transnistria

Come away with me
I'll show you everything
All the in-betweens
Are wading in your sea
Anchors tied
Find us and imbue
Planets align
Inside of you
Holding on to you
(Break the silence)
Bleeding black and blue
Nearing amplitude
(Cut this pretense)
Frequencies collude
Pulling at the seams
I'm falling in your dreams
Mental anarchy
Soaked in apathy
Bending time
Meaning to obscure
Maritime fleeting overture
The world's a stage
A silver screen
A masquerade
Bleed the fifth
And render
Them timeless

Notes to Anonymous

Untangle me
From all that I see
The paths keep folding under my feet
Where will we go?
Will time ever show?
The parallels of what became
I don't want to be a fool for you anymore
I don't want to be the cure that you're looking for
Hidden lines to
Hypnotize you
But you're branching off again
Closing this door
Opened evermore
Reflections stretching towards the end
Climbing the stairs
Suspended in air
To the lighthouse where this all began
All of the eyes that surround you in vain
All of the smiles engulfing in flames
All of them patterns of me overlaid
Chasing the ghosts of a love in decay

World Citizen

In every crumb of your delusion
Destructive shine that’s impossible to deny
The fake play with a lowered curtain
Evidence of the crime
You could feel a lie
I'm always in too deep in your eyes
It makes me scared
How did we end up with such lies
deep in the shade?
Difference baring
Up to war
Declaring
Growing
Drawing lines
Between you and me
Splitting into teams to compete
Carving up our lands
Different kinds
We're better on our own
Touching grids awkwardly, oh-oh
Stepping back in cells, releasing hands
Too big and old to fight it
Life is change and change decays
The game has simple rules:
Split into halves again
Put down your hands and pray
This never changes too much
Until we're gone
Who said we are born enemies?
Who said it's wrong?
Thinking, looking
For truth in eyes instead of news
Sadly, we are
Disregarding fate
Clutching to the thought that no way,
You weren't born for hate
You weren't born to feel what they say
Disregarding fate
Clutching to the thought that no way,
This world wasn't made for hate
You don’t have to obey
Slowly dying, fading..

Remembering the Future
04:05

Waiting for the night to pave the way
Letting go of what I became
Towards you the evening sways
Rearranging themes of your play
Oh, I can see you're a runaway
Oh, just imagine getaway
Oh, all our senses ricochet
Fragments of our memories
Passing through me
Dungeons of time shaping all my perspective
Every sign is telling you where to go
And what it's like to be "real"
Don't believe them
Let us stay on our way
To the light
We won't stop
I can see you're a runaway
Following Ariadne's thread
I know we can bring an end to days where
Our voice is pushed aside leaving our hearts paralyzed
I know we can make it to a place where
We can carry on our lives with no sense of compromise
I know we can bring an end to days where
Our thoughts are circumscribed leaving our minds neutralized
I know we can..
Oh, I can see you're a runaway
I know we can
Trace to where this began
Ignite the chains
And watch it all burn down
