Distance

It’s so familiar The world around me Nothing peculiar Breakfast tea But sometimes enough is just a bit too much When you know how it feels before the initial touch The fire once started is burnt out and cold I think it’s time to leave the scaffold Choose a direction, destination unknown Discover the places far away from home A new perspective as I look back in time Will let the pieces in dust appear in the most beautiful shine Distnace is what we need to appreciate the snacks You can’t find a flower on trampled tracks ‘Cause sometimes...

Three Thousand Steps

Look up to the night sky Do you see a lonely star Or points of connection Though it’s all so very far Do you feel the power As you reach out your hands Do you feel the earth turning In this cosmic dance Three thousand steps between us A stone’s throw from here A million stars should have seen us Drying a single tear As we meet in the middle I knew I’d find you here Every night I take a walk The same old dirty road But tonight it must be cloudy ‘Cause I can’t receive the code...

A Sad Uplifting Song

All is so ordinarily wrong Everything out of place A sad uplifting song For your inconspicuous face But your ears, they refuse all sound Listening to your weaker self You pick up a handful of dust And you put it back on the shelf How many more times will you raise your head How many more tears will you shed How many years will you disregard What could have been right from the start You’re just drifting in spirals And no one can stop you now All those useless trials But everything’s easy now A revolving door in full...

Nothing Ain’t Missing

Listening to the sounds of the city across the river It all sounds so soothing from where I am It’s just the motors and trains rumbling in the distance And I don’t really care about their game It feels like I’m all alone All thoughts to myself But after all the roaming It finally feels like home And nothing ain’t really missing Nothing ain’t really missing Nothing ain’t missing but you Maybe I should get my feet on that bridge And follow the ghosts that are calling for me I’m not sure if what awaits me on the other...

A Million Suns

So many letters unsent Oh, the time I have spent Writing down these words You wouldn’t understand A restless mind unspoken The silence unbroken Someday it will collapse And flood this land I don’t know if you can take it This friendship may sink But if somehow we made it And accepted the missing link A million suns would rise and enforce the light of day Like our love would shine as strong as the brightest ray A million stones would fall into canyons of dismay ‘Cause our love would bury the hurting disarray So this may be my...

Let Go Anchor

Still not quite awake Pen in my hand, phone at my ear Sometimes life feels fake Where have they gone, my plans for the year Someone’s pulling the strings Pulling me over the edge My thoughts swim in high tide oceans My brain’s still on the ledge Let go anchor This ship is bursting at the seams Beware the tanker And its poisonous streams Unready and unsure Waves riding high, crashing down A storm I can’t endure Collecting the remains of all thoughts that have drowned Nobody would drink up this mess The flood wouldn’t stop Still I’m hanging...

Cube

You’ll never fit in You’ll never fit in I’ll say it again until you believe That you’ll never fit in Born into the system I’m stuck in the tube Leading to my destiny In the shape of a cube You don’t know where I come from You just know where I have to go And if I put a spoke in your wheel The seeds I’ve planted will never grow I have a voice no one seems to hear I have no choice but to disappear And in the silence we’ll create a better place Where each and every...

Where Lovers Meet

It’s a long street I feel it in my feet Everybody’s running around Until they hit the ground And I see you I’m the stranger looking for you But I don’t catch your eye No matter how I try ‘Cause this street is full of empty promises And we’re longing for a soothing deceit Heedlessly washing down this dirt road This ain’t the place where lovers meet It’s a long time Everyone waiting in line Love shouts: wait your turn No one’s left to burn So let’s go astray Pull away Think of what to say Tracking down each...

A Bandage And A Crutch

Ringing your doorbell, then runnin’ away You wouldn’t want me in here anyway Dialing your number, then hanging up the phone I’d never say an honest word to you, but still I can’t leave you alone Dreaming – no one knows what I’m dreaming I’m thinking – am I thinking too much Someday – someday we will make out My disguise will be a bandage and a crutch Playing with your feelings, I’m in on the game You can have anything, pleasure or pain I know all your secrets, you sold ‘em for cash I can’t say which spot...

Another Mile

Just a wish never meant to come true Just a thought – shall it forever make me blue I wouldn’t wipe it off my mind if I could I couldn’t throw away a memory that good And it’s a load I’ll have to carry all my life A little light in the darkness of all struggle and strife I shouldn’t care for something I can never have Yet it’s the only thing I care for and ever have Still it’s you who makes me smile In little sparks of hope and joy In tiny breaths that make this boy...
