It seems as if the whole world stands still to look at you. Mesmerizing words. Behind the inscence there is emptiness. Young girl running into softer shades than we sense. You standing with your soul in pieces and look at me. You are my mirror. Beneath the surface there is a river. I’m so sorry that I wasn’t there to tell you, it’s gonna be alright, we’re all gonna die.

Grass on the ruins of the palace, still not ours the fences tell us. There’s a sign of our tomorrow. We can face it in our sisterhood. The power of that nonsense ends. On the ruins our friendship began, laughing in anger and oppression.

You said you know my face much better than your own. Countless times you’ve looked at me, just at me. Using each others bodies proudly under this fruitful tree, singing you and I and singing we. You know what my body feels like, even the warm inner side. You know my breath, no death can be shared. Oh darlin’ you have a shoulder where death could come to cry. And you try to keep me safe and you ask why I want to sacrify. Remember we climbed the trees where squirrels come to pacify. And you try to keep me safe and you ask why. It’s been a long time ago that I was in love with you but know you love me and I said I love you, too. How much I love you. How much I love you. How much I love you. How much I love you.

In the name of love, in the name of hope, in the name of toads I swallow. In the name of lust, in the name of Gods, in the name of snakes I sigh. In the name of law, in the name of guilt, in the name of flies I kill you. In the name of heaven, in the name of goats, in the name of hate. Two tears in a bucket I cry. And we will turn and try and we will find another lie and we will beg. Scary is outside. Many people but still lonely. Noone I could ask who could comfort me. I cannot count those frames that come crushing down on me. And I know that they are lying to my baby. Tell me are we gadgets? Didn’t get why wounds are hatches. Who needs your alient smile?

Bleeding

The silent sea my enemy, you shut your mouth for me to speak. You’re bleeding. Overcast the scenery, you close your eyes for me to see you’re bleeding. A touch of hands and you withdraw and hide behind a secret law. You’re bleeding. To keep you safe you built a cage and shut a bird into a safe. You’re bleeding. Why don’t you see that you can heal, that open wounds should not be sealed? I read your pity and your pride, lonely companions by your side. You’re losing. When waters break through solid walls you’ll hear those nameless and aching roars. You’re broken. Why don’t you see that you can heal, that open wounds should not be sealed?

Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets you went through. I want you to comprehend how good you are. Look at all the smiling faces, their eyes so full of praise, take a while, appreciate the beautiness that you created. Look, their eyes so full of praise for you. You make me feel this way. You made somebody’s day.

On a meadow underneath four trees she’s dreaming away and her shadow lying next to her is doing the same. And the sky shields them carefully in a blanket of tears. The rain drops pour down and are drumming her name.

Hey

A breathtaking pleasure to see the world fall apart, but we won’t end this. We’ll dance until it's dark. So much to loose, so much to fight, so much to care for. So much to seek, so much to know, so much to long for. So much to take, so much to forget, so much to loose. Dances leaving no traces on the ceiling, a frantic dance. Hey, I saw you, I saw you dancing with my future. Hey, you saw me, you saw me dancing to your glory. A siren’s tune sung by a river leading nowhere. No more girls and hopes, stray dogs, and whores, no more promises. Magnolian scents, three blocks on, sinking eyes, rust and bones. Deathless with each other, nothing ever scares us, the world is at our feet. Kisses are my diamonds, my only need. Everybody who follows me seems to be empty, displaceable, shattered, adorable. We don't say goodbye to our lives. Dancing on a volcano the senses get numb. Give glory to the lord of dance. I can feel her wing we are mesmerized. I am indestructible. Hey, i saw you, I saw you dancing with my future.
