Fear
05:46
|
|||
A chilly fear slowly seeps into my mind
Like droplets in a line
Running down my spine
From deep behind your eyes
Something’s gonna rise
From silence into rage
A terrifying stage
A cube of ice in water
cracks, turns warm to cold
Didn’t really realize how it occurred
Too late to run away. Unbearable to stay
A setting sun made blurry shadows on the floor
The moon was knocking softly at the entrance door
A cube of ice in water
cracks, turns warm to cold

Why
06:12
|

He dived into the water
Burst into a million twinkling stars
With iris like the rings of Saturn
He now looks down at Jupiter and Mars
Like a Zodiac on the sky
Illuminating ”why”
Questions in orbit like swarming bees
Around the planet Sorrow
Tries to find a way to ease
The pain of tomorrow
Looking for a place to take a rest
In the middle of the salt blue sea

Soaring
08:15
|

Soaring
In a quilt of clouds with your wings spread wide
Until
A sudden whim makes you dive so swift
Did you leave your will in the mind of the wind
Left all your desire in a single wish
To drift
In a quilt of clouds with your wings spread wide
Don’t you have no tasks?
No remorse that disturbs?
No matter where you soar. Up north or west
Everywhere stars are the same, everywhere a nest
You don’t bother where a new day will arise
Each time you blink your eyes you get a new surprise
Free bird, tell me please, how did you catch the sky
Gravity takes me hard, how did you learn to fly

Shattered into memories
05:00
|
|||
I saw the lilac fade, from violet into grey
A change from cheers to psalms
On a single summer’s day
Her last whiff of scent just blew away
I saw a flock of birds leave a chilly afternoon
They flew towards the sun,
vanished behind the moon
Wing strokes sprinkled silence,
in the fading light
Like dying embers, falling through the night
I kicked a lump of snow
Chased it down the trail
Shattered into memories of our bumpy flight.
Resolved into eternity of white

Aimless Mary
05:44
|
|||
Still light in her eyes, from a fading star
Aimless Mary’s walking
On her daily route from bar to bar
A purse full of worries to be unfold
Let her talk she can’t be put on hold
She’ll lead you into deep water
with her husky voice
Entangled in her secrets like a docile prey
You’re going down
There’s no other way, no other choice
Her whirlpool for sure make you drown
But no one wants to get drawn into her gloom
So when she wants to sit down
No one gives her room
Aimless Mary’s walking
On her daily route from bar to bar
When she leaves the pub
we all know she will cry
But no one really asks that simple question why
No one really asks that simple question why
She bows her heavy body
towards the night outside
No one follows her home, no one’s at her side
Aimless Mary’s walking
On her daily route from bar to bar

Half Awake
04:32
|
|||
Just awake after sleep
In that half unconscious deep
Anxiety rises from its shelter
and seeps into my calm
But it fades out with the rising light
withdraws to its hiding place
It leaves no trace and out of sight
I leave it there
As if I didn’t care
So it goes, a life with blinders
No one’s hurt, and no one’s free
I’m a wall against my fire
So I don’t need to fear
I’ve locked up my desire

Imaginary Plane
03:21
|
|||
Light as a bird and easy for an angel to carry
Leaning back in your chair, as if you’re up in the air
From broken speakers in your imaginary plane
You hear the captain announce a destination
an eternity from here
The airplane is embellished like a castle
With fourteen fairies dancing in a row
Serving you a creamy cup of tea
And a ”Lady Goldenglow”
Sipping at a crystal glass of sparkling wine
The crimson coloured sky looks so divine
The earth, a ferris wheel below
There’s a party in the sky,
and all the drinks are free
Angels are playing cricket, Luke is referee
An orchestra plays Mozart,
a soprano sings out loud
The man you loved grows roses on a cloud
