vine
a kiss on the eyelid,
a song for the night, yet
the worst is still to come
the stifling weight of the
things that you did and the
things that you didn't do
burn it to the ground
and say "I'm sorry for it all"
shattered into million pieces
farewell my reminder
the embers are gone
gone with the wind
the crushing guilt
of the things you once felt
and the things you still feel
burn it to the ground
and say "I'm sorry for it all"
shattered into million pieces

abyss
I let what we've been told to feel
devour me completely
like a fever dream
paralysed
it really left me guessing
forgotten entities, dreadful oddities
something's rising up
I feel the waves come roaring back
the atrocities taking claim again
like they did before
close your eyes my dear
we'll survive
once more
oh my child
please hold your breath a little longer
hold your breath for me
lost, where once we were
at home
our shelter has gone rotten
lands we should have roamed
desolate
bleached out and forgotten
forgotten entities, dreadful oddities
something's rising up
I feel the waves come roaring back
the atrocities taking claim again
like they did before
close your eyes my dear
we'll survive
once more
oh my child
please hold your breath a little longer
hold your breath for me

tired
its infantile
and kind of sad
but I think I'll never talk to you again
what's been said
and understood, I guess
didn't necessary overlap
I'm so sick and tired
of pondering
what was and what might have been
"it wasn't meant to be"
and all that jazz
that hurt people tend to say
maybe I want you broken
and on your knees
grinding through the shards of our past
maybe I'm just dramatic,
a silly boy
who's still cut to the quick
you're living for
nothing now
like cohen sang in ninety-seventy-one
for what it's worth
I think you'll make
a pretty decent cautonary tale

hounds
I thought I had forgiven
but sadly I need blood
I wish I could be a better man
but apparently I am not
how long can you outrun the hounds that I send for you ?
and what will be left of what is left of you now ?
it's good to know
how to swim in a melting world
I saw, I knew
but I couldn't let it go
the water is disturbingly calm today
the leaves in the trees, motionless
and all the animals hide away in
eerie silence
I am in the eye of the hurricane
a dead-eyed skyward stare
sitting and waiting for new information
regarding you

travesty

travesty
patterns repeat
in slight alterations
comfortingly trivial
no surprises
new car smell
puddles on the sidewalk
waiting in checkout lines
gridlock on the way home
calm and composed
much to achieve
and to stand for
and to believe
in something
well-disposed
tidy and neat
friendly and clean
rewind repeat
a gain
furniture store
choking on luke-
warm instant coffee
in a paper cup
watching tv over
microwave dinner
shows with canned laughter
heartburn and sudden sadness
for the lack of something better I take part in this travesty
why, won't I just disappear completely
for the lack of something better
dental plans
cheap car insurance
fastfood on the parking lot
dogs in the distance
trying to be nice
no new regrets
sorry the focusgroup
did not like it at all
calm and composed
much to achieve
and to stand for
and to believe
in something
well-disposed
tidy and neat
friendly and clean
rewind repeat
a gain
bulk ordered
authenticity
brand loyality
open minded
phoning it in
we only buy natural
prices of gasoline
oh what a morning, again
for the lack of something better I take part in this travesty
why, won't I just disappear completely
for the lack of something better

chemistry
you've built a wall, just to be save
you haven't felt this way for many many years
I can see the weight of the world crushing down
on your tender little shoulders again
the more you love
the more you'll fear
the thought of losing
everything
and all we are
and all we ever cared about
is soon to be
gone
damaged goods, paper in the wind
a two-front war against reality and gloom
I'd never supposed we would come this far
running straight ahead through enemy lines
and here we are
wiser than before
like a figher
past his prime
and all of the
lenghths we went to
couldn't be walked
a second time
does it even matter
if it's all just chemistry
are we just receiving
out of necessity
how on earth could we end up here
there are some roadblocks down on memory lane
we could have been strangers on the bus
looking straight through each other
would we have known
the tales we know now,
same storys but
different cast
and would we have
that sad twinkle in the eye
would we miss
our mess
does it even matter
if it's all just chemistry
are we just receiving
out of necessity

lost
i feel you, you are in the air
i hear your silence echo in this room
my beautyful
with closed eyes, for a little while
we will let, let the world pass by outside
once again
this is how we cancel out each other
and how i love to be completely lost
for all we have is time to waste together
and waste away we will, my little bird
drawing lines, with my fingertips
on your back, the warmth of your breath
on my neck
not a word, barely made a sound
the whole day, just lying here for ever
my beautyful
this is how we cancel out each other
and how i love to be completely lost
for all we have is time to waste together
and waste away we will, my little bird

falling
I woke from falling
down down down down
just as I was
about to hit the ground
what if I
would have fallen right through
the earth
oh I
could have left a hole in the world
an absence that filled
everything
aching, vibrant
hollowness
floating around
in an all consuming silence
oh what an eerie thing
to slowly vanish in the night
the moment I thought, that the lights will go out
I thought that I could hear reverb
I felt so safe and sound, completely ready
for whatever may come around
a tender shade,
a fleeting lament,
staring into
space
blurring the lines
the shapes lose definition
where do I end
and where begin
splintered beyond
recognition
shards of what
i thought i was
oh, it is so grotesque
finding beauty in all this
but here, another thing
is about to begin
the moment I thought, that the lights will go out
I thought that I could hear reverb
I felt so safe and sound, finaly letting
go, in the end
