you're so beautiful, even more so when you smile
and it warms my heart when we're side by side
i love you, even more so than anyone
i want to live life with you, boy i know you are my one
you are the one i want by my side until the end of all time
feels really nice when i play with your hair
feels nice to lay down with you, in your arms, i made a lair
i want to spend time with you, and go through the world
in beautiful nights like this one with you so i can show
how much i really love you
you are the one for me, you are the one i love the most
you are the one i want, the one i need, to live happy in this world
boy, am i good enough?
boy, when i look in your eyes, all those thoughts run around my mind
all i think about is how
i can start living again, how much i love you
all those hopes and dreams take over me
all these thoughts
take over me

rainy day
04:25
|
|||
|
when i was a child, i saw a storm
the sky turned dark, then the lights were gone
and the trees against the clouds
danced wildly to the wind's song
i remember my curious young self
staring at the trees, wanting to know
what would happen next as the storm grew
if i'd see the sky shine with a lightning's glow
the sound of the leaves waving in the sky
as the wind sung its song as the rain fell down
the sight of the sky, so dark so alive
as the wind lifted everything from the ground
it's all still alive in my mind
all still exists in me, all still makes me feel
as happy as i did as a child
i hope it will rain again, i hope it will
the cold i felt that afternoon, it was
the first time i felt as alive as i do now
things changed so much, but still
these rainy days make me feel above ground
it's all still alive in my mind
all still exists in me, all still makes me feel
as happy as i did as a child
i hope it will rain again, i hope it will

melancholic
02:34
|
|||
|
my soul became a jigsaw
many years ago, long before now
and i still don't know if i
have the pieces to put together a life
but i know i know a bit
about these pieces, even if
i still don't know just who the hell
they're supposed to make, me, myself
hidden as a shadow in a dark night
i roam around the world
forgotten as a has been who never was
it's what i, for me, chose
moving through the world for no one
moving just to never stop
melancholic as ever, alive like never
like never i was before

close your eyes
04:04

close your eyes my child
we're drifting into the night
forever away from here
no one will find you or me
close your eyes, hold my hand
you've been brave, keep being so
soon it'll be over, we won't again
come back to suffer through this world
the icy soundscapes we are in
will take us away from this here
they will be our pathway
we will, soon, my child, be free
the lies we told won't matter now
the harm we endured won't change
but we will go to a place to be allowed
the life we only saw in our dreams
find a home, find a love
find a care, a new world
where our souls have new life
we will be free when we close our eyes
close my eyes for me, won't you?
help me join the world with you
take my hand, take me away
we'll be free forever today

you treated me like i wasn't human
and yet i loved you through that
you called me names, i still loved you
even when you wished me dead
now i hold the blade on your neck
that is my way of loving you
we're both going down to hell
we'll live forever the destruction we do
you tried to kill me once and left me
rotting on a ditch; i still was in love
you told our friends i disappeared
meanwhile i searched for a way to love - love you more
now the pretty cuts in your skin feed me
your pretty blood that i swallow whole
and as you kiss my blade, i cut your lips
we'll die soon in celebration of our love

message

after so long, is that you creeping back?
are you really looking for little old me again?
who broke your heart this time, who was that?
'cause i know you only think of me when you are in pain
i see you coming towards me like they are, too
but let me tell you, let me tell you now
if you really wanna pick up from where we left
then live up to your word and put that fucking bottle down
the other night i heard you were talking about
the friendship we once had but lost
don't know why, but i know you lied
what we had was mutual slavery and no thoughts
why is it that every time that i try to
do what's right i get charged as the one who's wrong?
even by myself, even by those who
told me to change so they wouldn't leave, so they wouldn't be gone

lonely days
03:26
|
|||
|
[left]
"nights of cold and rain lay ahead"
the finger wrote on the wall and left
and i am afraid that should come the day
of peace and love, i will be alone
[right]
"lonely days are here to stay"
as told by the dead, by the old
now i do not see how i can go on
if my tomorrow still has me alone
melodies float in the air of today
but what song they bring, i can't say
dirge and lullaby all mashed into one
for they ain't different when i'm alone
the waters flow downhill for me
are they friend or foe? i cannot see
and should they drag me to somewhere away
i do not know if my body will stay
[left]
"the wind shuffles the leaves that left"
was what came after the death
of the old friend - never thought it'd end
but lonely days are here to stay
[right]
"sunday ended forever but planted
seeds of hope" he said to cope
and cold and rain all have their way
for their victory is here to stay

liar
03:28

you once told me that if came a day
where nor you nor i knew what to say
still with me you would be, somehow
the day has come, and i ask, what now?
all i ever wanted was
to give you a love i didn't knew i had
but you showed me you are made of lies
and i don't have anything left to give you
not my tears, not my love
nothing else, nothing you deserve
'cause all the time i lived with you i lived a lie
and i can't keep doing that to myself

wasted love
02:00
|
|||
|
i can't stay here pretending i think you care
everytime i seek you, you aren't willing to share
not your happiness, not your pain, not even time
i ain't in your heart, why do i keep you in mine?
maybe your "i love you"s meant something before
but now they're shallow, you don't care anymore
how could i fear loneliness? it's all the same here
how could i fear losing love if love is what you never gave me?
you may say i overreact and that i shouldn't cry
but i'm getting old and can't keep toeing the line of time
now you may say i'm not being fair with you
now you say you meant everything you did, i'm sure you do
you never were really here
someone else was always cool
and here like the perfect idiot i know i am
i held on fearing losing your love, losing you
i wasted my love on you, but not anymore

directionless improv
06:58
|

me, a guitar in a weird tuning (whole guitar down to b or a#, highest two strings down to a/d or g#/c#, i didn't use a tuner before this so it's a guessing game) and improvised lyrics, recorded with a cellphone while sitting on the ground underneath a window. self indulgent beyond belief, but if i don't indulge myself, no one will. so here it is.

time of the day
03:32
|

|
i said so much that meant nothing
when something meant, had no one to hear
i did so much i wanted not to
when i got my time, i didn't know what to do
now i'm 24, one year for each
hour of the days i threw away
and far ahead, i can already see
a new hour, the mark of a new day
picking up the pieces of who i was
to build the someone i want to be
throwing away what i didn't ask for
this is the time of the day i become free
i was broken for so fucking long
when i got fixed, i trusted no one
i heard so many wordless words
when there were real ones, they sounded old
now i'm 24, one full day, but i
see the 25th hour approaching
once it's here, i know i won't die
but the old one i was will give way to me
