Passerby 04:22
I have this dream that I'm a color No one's ever Seen before But then a voice says Soon enough you'll just be another leaf falling off the tree I'm scared to think that We're all just sheep in the flock Numbers in a formula Cogs in a clock Recycled souls Nothing new In ongoing revivals Supernaturals view What is life and What am I? I want to be brand new and timeless But seems I Am just a passerby To constantly Compare myself To those around me Is of no help I get lost in the rat race Where either you're first Or just taking up space Are we lucky just to be Breathing, feeling, alive? Is it fine, to be Just a passerby? For a moment I forget myself The whirlpool of worries And I am at peace I am just a passerby
2.
All my strength and wisdom Disappeared when She slipped in I wanted to be pure But she weaved round And lured me down All I want is her All I feel is her She is everywhere She is everywhere I promise myself That I won't give in But desire comes and makes me dumb Others say that I should leave But they don't know She's in my bones I know there's more than this But I'm lost in her sweet kiss I could escape this bind But never rid her from my mind Waking hours are clear But in my dreams she reappears
3.
Burden 05:14
Beautiful, often asked to stay But her mind was elsewhere Didn't want to own anything and She envied the air She felt bound by limitations Love, desire and expectations Psychedelics were her way of Getting where she wanted And she relished every day that She escaped from gravity's bed She said I would love to be a breeze And fly through the Earth and be free There's so much more than what we see Being a person's a burden to me They all said that she was losing Her sense of what was real But in her eyes truth of being was In what you deeply feel She saw so many imitations And she wanted far away from them
4.
Don't be foolish Be realistic Often this is what a dreamer hears Follow form Or you'll fall a part They try to fill us up with their own fears I'll bear this now And it will get better I'll see it through I'll pass it over When day is done I'll be much stronger Overcome the doubt And dream forever You might fail If you break out But sometimes it's worse to play it safe And you might get lost Up the mountain But even so it still helps you find your way You should follow our example Or so they say You're just crazy, you're a lost one But their words won't make me afraid I'd rather fail and bruise Than wonder what if? I'd rather try and lose Than settle for less I will be who I want to I'll bear this now And it will get better I'll see it through I'll pass it over When day is done I'll be much stronger Overcome the doubt And dream forever
5.
Sometimes when you're talking I burn to change your way You know I care so much But there's nothing I can say To a sweet song bird trying To sound just like the crows A sensitive heart denying Itself the chance to truly grow Staring up at the stars Imagining the universe All we could be and always wanting to meet Eye to eye But now those times are lost The ember's light is weak It's covered by the frost Of shallow things you seek You always asked me to stop you If you went to far I held on, but you still flew Now I wonder who you are Your words and your soul Two things I thought I'd always know You were my best friend We said it would be till the end Where does love go? I turn away but I want you to know If you need me I will be there
