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

She is Everywhere

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

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

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

If You Need Me
03:47
|
|||
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
