The blue bird sings
Her voice echoes in my head
Sweet, sweet
The melody brings
All the thoughts that are left unsaid
…
Wave, wave
Her feathers wave
And I can not avoid her call
Save, save
My heart does crave
A tumble and a fall
…
Bright moonlight
Upon my face
Only for a little while
The light of night
Leaves no trace
Except for a fading smile
I keep finding myself stranded
She always has her way
She asks me to believe her
I am unwilling to disobey
…
She is dancing with her words
She never forgets a step
Awed by her performance
Can’t help but clap
…
I wish I had a grip over my mind
Wouldn’t it have been easier then
If I could act out my thoughts
Like I plan?
…
She loves to play with my smile
Long lost at the shore
Drowning in her toxic waters
Can’t save myself anymore
…
She loves to play with my skin
Long lost at the sea
She pretends to love me
Like a tragic mystery
…
I wish I had a grip over my heart
Wouldn’t it have been easier then
If I could act out my thoughts
Like I plan?
…
She blames me for all the things
That I may have never done
I am trying to see right through
Mirrors and everyone
…
Now she’s back in her sphere
And I’m standing on the edge
I swear I’d never call out her name
She never buys my pledge
…
I wish I had a grip over my mind
Wouldn’t it have been easier to find
That all that I do now
Would eventually end somehow?
How many victims have you claimed?
How many more you will?
Think of all the consequences
Before you make another kill
…
By gifting a beautiful present
You let them forget about tomorrow
One moment they are over the moon
The next they are filled with sorrow
…
Even the strong-willed may find it hard
To survive against your tempting hope
You push them from the top of a mountain
And watch them fall down the slope
…
And if someone ever survives the fall
You clutch them by their neck
Remove the soul from their bodies
And lay them amongst the wreck
In the end, you will find
That I did mind
That I did care
But life ain’t fair
It never goes as planned
And it’s a lesson, my friend
Isn’t it?
If it ain’t broke, why fix it?
And I wasted my tears here
And watched everyone disappear
And my heart went too
Only leaving behind memories of you
And they will fade soon
Over the next blue moon
I’ll be waiting
I’ll be waiting
Maybe here, or some other planet
With little to regret
But lot to ponder
A small thought makes me wonder
Wouldn’t things have been better off without me?
Indeed, it would be
Blah, what a thought!
But it’s all I’ve got
And I will take it with me till the end
And it’s a lesson, my friend
Isn’t it?
To think I shared everything with you
All that I have done, all that I will do
My chameleon skin
All the thoughts within
The devil in me, my heart ache
My masks, real and fake
And I end up as a stone
I always end up alone
I always end
And it’s a lesson, my friend
Isn’t it?
It is
Why do I even exist?
I’m blind, deaf and dumb
I wish to be numb
The more I care, the more I get hurt
I have a cold heart but
I have a heart
But I don’t want to start
Again
And again
And dont worry
I ain’t sorry
I never was
Never had any cause
Just let me stay here and weep
I don’t want to sleep
I may not wake up tomorrow
Let me drown my sorrow
For the last time
With this rhyme
Don’t look for any meaning in this. There is none.
But I have found my home
Will you cry
When I fly
Away?
It’s a lesson, my friend. Hehe
What would the rains convey
If they had something to say
To me in the middle of the night
When all is dark and all is quiet?
…
Will they force themselves away from the clouds
And let themselves flow down and out
Into the lonely hearts of stranded creatures
While transforming them and their features?
…
Have they whispered something to me
Which may have already been passed?
Should I now go and turn back the clock
Or wait for nature to unlock?
In a factory where dreams are made
To be broken or to fade
Away when they are played
Out
In a mill which is running still
Far away against my will
And the men, they fill
It with doubt
Hold on
Hold on
Freedom
…
I may be a tiny bird
But trust me now and my words
I know that I have erred
Once or twice
Do you have a heart to pardon
All that which should be forgotten
All that is to be undone
In your eyes
Hold on
Hold on
Freedom
…
Every word rings out louder
Than a royal queen prouder
Than all the pawns around her
In a parade
Hush it away for the last
Time and try to get it past
Your mind before it casts
A shade
Hold on
Hold on
Freedom
Freedom
The window makes a hideous sound
Pitter-patter
I never liked the rain come down
Pitter-patter
…
The sound of feet running for cover
Pitter-patter
Drops of rain like tears fall all over
Pitter-patter
…
It falls down so heavily on me
Pitter-patter
My tears are lost on thee
Pitter-patter
…
The window makes a hideous sound
Pitter-patter
I never liked the rain come down
Pitter-patter
Is that a devil on my left shoulder?
And an angel on my right?
One is guiding me in to the dark
The other; in to the light
…
One path seems so straight and smooth
The other; so tough
All the verses of yesterday
Are just ain’t enough
…
One whispers words which I want to hear
The other; need
One is waiting to tie me up in chains
The other wants me freed
…
If a choice had to be made
Between the two ears
Would I be listening to my right
Or giving in to my fears?
Death. Death, won’t you come here?
I am searching for a friend
Meet me halfway if you can
Do not wait till the end
Death thinks I fear her
She makes for a sorry sight
Won’t be trembling at the sight of her
I am ready for a fight
All the darkness inside her
Will seek to extinguish my light
She ain’t familiar with my stubbornness
My heart’s will or my soul’s might
I will give in to her someday
When Sun is out or Moon is bright
When the stars call out my name
When I know the time is right
