Interference

Quiet I seek
This is my oasis
Looking for shelter
I found it in void
Now is the time
Always on vacation
Like a chain reaction
I start yearning for more
When the words start adding up to
More than I can handle
The emotions overwhelm me like a flood
Hindsight into my mind
Recognize the difference
This great divide's not hard to find
Especially when it's not mine
Bound by the choice
Will it ever change me
I let my guard down
Despite its refuge
Why do we hesitate to wash away
All of our resentment
Think back and wonder why the child has died
It's impossible to go there
Put eyes upon the future
Then ask whether you've seen me all alone
Have you ever heard me speak when I was home
You've been trying to transmit all of your love
But my radio was bugged
In this new mindset
In it I read
Comfort in recess
I thrive on the peace
Revolve around love
Here I want to be
I tried to receive it
But couldn't believe

Do You Remember

Do you remember
Waking in heaven
I should do what I'm told
The river ran dry
Forgot how to cry
How I wish I could live
Without the stuff
Every day of labor
Would have been in vain
If this love had come
Without the pain
I have a witness
Inside of my system
I am the judge speaking
From a safe distance
I did my best to just forget it
But the feeling still remains
I'm longing for some love
Just let some light in
Rain falls on your skin
Take a walk across town
Even the memory
Left me feeling empty
Time has come to tell
Trying is not enough
Send in the disaster
I know I can cope
I've been walking ages
On tightropes
I have a witness
Inside of my system
I am the judge speaking
From a safe distance
I did my best to just forget it
But the feeling still remains
I'm longing for some love
I saw a red light
I perceived the sign
All I'm asking is try
To just believe me
I had a dizzy day
What else can I say
Maybe I can change
Maybe I can stay

Stranger to Myself
04:17

Ruined my ego
Nothing else I have left
Not long ago
I encountered all of my own steps
Hollowed out now
I surrender my body
Take care of every cell though it's temporary
No time for my impatience
Why would I expect anything at all
There's no point being motionless
Or waiting for a call
In myself I see a stranger
I am my own danger
At war with human nature
A life in separation
Caught in the moment
Everything here does fit
Isn't it strange that we
Always seem to need it
The favor read
Return to sender
We claimed and formed it
Into our life-ender
Come by a little later
I was not expecting you to come
I'm still preparing my return
But you can sit up front
In myself I see a stranger
I am my own danger
At war with human nature
A life in separation

Love to Exist
03:44

How long have I lasted without you
I thought I was better off
Your tangibility, it lead me to believe
In more than a dream or luxury
In bliss that is free of ease
But I miss you out of sight
I'm open to that infinite invite
I felt your presence come after me
Even at times I was afraid to be seen
So shallow I have yet to become
this year I'll abide my tongue
But discipline begins
In finding where I've been
From the beginning
I swore to turnabout
Your sadness and make sure
You wouldn't depart
I've got the whole world inside of my head
I'm sure I listened when you called me
But as long as I existed my love never was complete
This inevitable distance
Never really mattered
Shrug it off your shoulders
Wondering why I even cared
About it all

Fragile Box
05:39
|

Searching through some
Grayscale worn out pictures
Obviously everything has changed
But in this town my memory is steadfastly
Put in the ground
I'm disconnected from the open-minded
And suddenly determined to engage
In the exercise of reaching full potential
Burying love I buried my love
I remember the devotion
Your love was just like a bride
After your chase for so many lovers
Would you now return
Could it be that I've become afraid of
Since a long time
Showing my true self before their eyes
But still I remember
somewhere in my past
I couldn't measure
The size of your love
If you just stay out of trouble
I'll meet you at the start
I'll bring you a gift
Wrapped up in the sheets
Of your regrets
This fragile box
Contains all that I got
Can't you feel the love that's left
Beyond my death
You found other ones to cling
Onto instead

Head in the Clouds

Head in the clouds
Feet on the ground
Hazy my thoughts have become
Now the picture came alive
And ever since that time
Day and night I feel I'm getting older
Racing through the years
What was my position now disappeared
Whatever you want
I am sailing off of that shore now
Come inside watch me live this lie
And the times I've cried I am fine
All the time I spent in my mind
Makes me wanna die but that's fine
Head in the clouds
Lost all the doubts
Chased by the words I misread
Waiting on that train
Driving me insane
I united with the sky that night
Racing through the years
It is optional to stay still
The coast is clear
Whatever you want
Tell me it is safe to fall asleep now
Asleep now
Come inside watch me live this lie
And the times I've cried I am fine
All the time I spent in my mind
Makes me wanna die but that's fine
Darling, I haven't slept last night
Since the longest time, I felt right
I climbed up high but I was too shy
Showing what's behind my smile

Lose Your Medicine

Lose your medicine
Why would you even care
Let your sadness be
It'll take you anywhere
Let the cold inside
Your bloody hot veins
Let it sting or let it calm you
In the simplest of ways
At the core that song
Is nothing more than
Sounds and sentences
But why did it hit me like a rock
I'll carry it with me
I'll never forget it
I couldn't care less
About the time ticking away
My clock is broken
Since a couple of days
Dwell in the nothingness
Or listen instead for a sound
That may refresh the one
Stuck in your head
Your head
Run from the darkness
Flee from the shadows
Into the meadows
Patiently waiting for
Voices singing softer words
Than all the ones you've heard

Decay
04:14
|

Let's make it work one last time
Several years we've worked out our goodbyes
Red every once in a while
When I'm fighting my worry
My self dies as well
Numbers and signs
The steady decline
You're authorized
Living your life on the line
Go since I won't
I'm on my own
What do I know about truth
What do I know about you
Feet on the ground to refrain
From anything that could
Navigate your life into pain
Take no account of old days
If I reach for delight it won't matter in one way
This ain't a garden that's filled with perfect fruit
Its decay alludes to our arrogance
And shows us to obey
Stuck between two sides
I didn't know my name
At least the days
Were brighter then

Closer
04:30
|

Most of my songs seem to be
Questions raised and
Self-fulfilling prophecies
They're an example
Of how much room there's left
For the half of me that needs to grow up
Silence is my misleading virtue
I don't speak of the disorder to overcome
But when I face the mirror and look at me
I just see leftovers of infant belief
It's not about me
It's all about you
It's not about me
It's all about you
I put my mind at rest
I'm willing to hear
What you were saying
All of these years
You've allowed my tears to come freely
That sleeplessness is now my lullaby
I've been awake since I heard you speak that night
I shall not want but wrap myself in this light
It's not about me
It's all about you
It's not about me
It's all about you
I wish that I was nothing
I wouldn't mind
Losing my best friends
Just to be with you all of my life
It's not about me
It's all about you
It's not about me
It's all about you
It's not about me
But I am all about you
