Off-Color

My life runs around me
It surrounds me, and Me
My lies goes beside me
And steal a part of me, and Me

Tell me how're you gonna
Make it alright
Tell me more
Of the things you hide
Tell me more, tell no more

Intoxicated are my dreams
And I don't know what the acid is doing in my veins
Inoculated are my hands, not
And my legs have betrayed me, and Me

Let me know
Am I wasted
Oh let me know
Am I the chosen one

Tell me how're you gonna
Make me tight, again
Tell me more of the words
You never spoke, and never said
Tell me more, tell no more

Hibernating is my skin
It's going pale
And it's stinking
Inflated are my eyes
They're going frail
And not blinking

Let me know
Am I hated
Oh let me know
Am I the chosen one

Tell me how're you gonna
Save me from the beast
Save me now from the bats
They‘re pealing, yes pealing
My skin, and my dreams

Mama, Don't try to wake me

Mama, don’t try to wake me
I am sleeping
Mama, don’t try to fix me
I am not broken
I am just down
Deep down under the bed

Fixing up all of my dreams
Lending myself a sound sleep
Mixing them up with some joys
On my knees, I am resting

Look at me I am smiling
Overlook, ignore my eyes
My tears are all fake
They keep lying
So, don’t hear them cry

I have turned off the lights
I am exiting them all
Crossing light of the sorrows
I have entered inside the wall

Overlook, ignore the eyes
They are fake
They are not weeping
So, don’t hear them cry

I have seen thousand suns
They no longer blind me
I have seen thousand moons
They no longer magnetize me

Mama, just ignore the eyes
I have blocked them both
And I have bounded tears in their closet
Now they won’t ever flow

Mama, don’t try to wake me
I am sleeping
While I am weeping
I am resting on my knees

Alter

Divide, Divide
Clone walking side by side
Hey,
Cut open yourself wide

An evil smile
Proudly proud pile
The clone’s wile
Rising tides of Nile

He might kill you inside
And, abandon your pride
While you crawl
Your Alter-ego glide

See-hide, see-hide
From behind the wall
Swallow your pride
And, dig it inside

Divide, Divide
Clone walking side by side
Hey,
Cut open yourself wide

A life on thorns

I know I have written on this theme before, but I couldn't help it.















He lives on thorns
And no mercy is shown
Shabby clothes
Fathomless eyes
Searches for an answer
Searches for a door

A door to heaven
A playground
A see-saw, a merry go round
Some laughing lips, some innocent eyes
They get a hug after a fall

But he searches for an answer
And searches for a reason
Where are you father
Will you carry me on your shoulder?

Where are you Mother
I need a hug when I fall
And when I cry in the corner
With head on my knees

I want a kite, and a toy car
Coz for now, I play with the muddy ones
I want new clothes
Coz for now, all I wear are tatters

He is still searching for an answer
And a reason
Will this search ever end?
Will the reason present itself?

He shall wait till then
Washing bowls, and serving tea
I am sure, a reason does exist
and his lips, one day will carry a smile

Silly Girl

Silly one - cracked pearls -
Such a fragile little girl -
Stories of gold -
in a brittle plastic mold
that never worked for her.
We wonder where they were.

Silly one - twice baked
in the sun - and overdone.
We're gonna take your toys.
We're gonna capture your boys.
Songs unsung -
that never belonged to you . . .
you leave us nothing else to do.

Silly one - seeking a planet
a clam shell - left behind.
Babbling like a runaway brook -
Running to nowhere -
that never belonged to anyone.

Why do you go on and on?
What do you pray for - on the phone?
Where do you hide when you're alone?

Silly One

We'll crush your pearls
We'll take your toys
We'll capture your boys

Silly One

We'll melt your gold
We'll answer your phone
We'll throw the first stone

Looking Behind

A reason for our existence
Ever day is a new game
A reason to laugh, a reason to cry
The rest is in vain

Untouched faces across the road
One single look and then they disappear
A smile just passed by, walking but looking behind
There he stands, King Lear
Betrayed, with a sad face
Facing Earth, with a frightened gaze

One moment of betrayal
One candle light blind date
With known yet unknown person
For lust, or love sate?

A girl with a bowl
And crowded cars on the signal
She peeps through the window with a dry tear
But, sadist behavior from the car
Without even noticing her, 4th gear

Don’t give her any money
All she needs is a helping hand
Books, and treasured knowledge
Entry in the attendance register
A name, a bright future

Alas! Ignorance is our bliss
Ignorance is our nature
Anger is our body
Anger is our stature
