There’s this girl
We met up on a Sunday, she was so quiet
I told her
„forget about your homework”
„but the gardener is the murderer” she said
making some suspicious thoughts in my head
and your arithmetic’s never accurate
go on and burn up a Tesco instead
there’s this boy,
he took a really long way, to see those lights
his mouth was numb
but he tried to speak his own way
well, he knows what he did it wasn’t natural –
he only wanted that he’s never had
he shouldn’t have gone, now it’s too late to regret
he didn’t even notice as she quietly passed

Hello Sun

this is the way I remember him
the despair in his eyes
and Bradbury’s on his side
you always help me forget him
those freezing London nights
and all he’s left behind
hello Sun
never seen such a thing, you blew my mind forever
hello sun
I want to always stay with you, preserved in amber
I think he’s learnt his lesson
he knows industry is art
that brought him back to life
I’ve heard he’s doing quite well
I’d die to see him smile
but I think I’ve had my time
hello sun
staring through the fog, at the orange mastermind
hello sun
I want to always stay with you, preserved in amber

Lindsay's song

|
I know I said I wasn’t going to write to you
But after all, I just cannot keep it inside
Because when we met by a nearby Turkish,
You didn’t even had to mention the last night
She had to know
And he had a go
But she has to grow, I know
She did her thing, until she got what she wanted
But don’t believe her, when she sings about breakdown
Because she’s a way of being so manly, but she’ s a joke
Every time when he’s around
(more than a circus clown)
(now that the job’s done, and they’re both gone, it’s for real)

Sea eyes
04:22
|
|||
|
Oh the clever ways we had
I’m running away, from all the shame i left here
And, if we never meet again
It’s hard to pretend
Like I didn’t care
Kill all the poets, and throw all their useless books away
Because love really hurts, when you don’t want it, comes along your way
Brings nothing but pain
As embarrassed as I felt…the shit that I said
Your sea eyes made me say
And, if we never speak again, I got to tell
What I still don’t really dare
Kill all the poets, and throw all their useless books away
All bloody gay
Burn all the pages, they don’t soothe
but praise the pain

it's been 7 months but seemed like 9
sent a letter to JUne to change her mind
will you guess what she said
"thats all right, but i've heard it 20 times
and all the things that you write, are small files
as you paste them into my heart"
as she ran trought old photographs she tries
to find some meaning as empty days go by
"you still don't get what i'm saying?
well, that's life, just a reprint of my mind
pictures in black and white
some printed, some well done replicas"
why can't you see, life's a masterpiece
it's in your mind
remember this
and learn to see
life's a masterpiece
why can't you see

White

You won’t ever see me
‘I’m like the winter stars
You sit there observe me
In your endless cage of thoughts
There’s no name I’m known
I’m innocent, I’m snow
I have no sex and I don’t think
It feels so white
So white

July

with all the hate you sent
you changed me a lot
and i reconsidered every,
everything you've told
to tell the truth i tell you,
those lies they were not lies
if i left, i'd leave here nothing
but a sentimental life
now i've stood by something
you don't want me to know
if i believe in this july
there's no place left to go
to tell the truth i tell you,
those lies they were not lies
if i left, i'd leave here nothing
but an imitated life

Kaleidoscope

I’m burning like a tree
What could I say?
There’s nothing here, but me
In the orbit
Wish something
I’ve seen my life, I’m home
For endless times, I fall
If you stood among the leaves
Would you see me, do you see me?
This shooting star you see
You couldn’t deny, you know it

Holograms

Take humans
As holograms
All they stood for, is now the insects’
The world they had
The books, their prayers
The seeds had grown here
Will grow again
Take your chance
And breathe some air
You’ll remember
The day we came here
Take my hand
And understand
A million year journey
Is about to begin
