I Remember You
Everytime I close my eyes,
The picture of you comes to my mind,
Floating in the air,
From everywhere,
Everything around me reminds me of you,
And I lose myself in the memories of you..
The park bench still fits us perfectly,
And this world has taken 7000 turns, changing everything but me
The stubbles in my face make me look a little older,
I have grown a little taller,
Lost my hair, gained some weight,
And I am losing a little bit of myself everyday but, I am still the same old person you loved back then
Every breath that I take, takes me a...

Like a butterfly,
I fly
In this garden of pricks and pearls,
Dancing in the wind,
With the wind,
Drifting back and forth,
Up and down
I swirl and twirl,
My world whirls and I fall down dizzy
Gliding softly,
Slowly
Giving this flight a little time,
Living every second,
Before I die
And finally, I become a flower
Beautiful and still
I fly
In this garden of pricks and pearls,
Dancing in the wind,
With the wind,
Drifting back and forth,
Up and down
I swirl and twirl,
My world whirls and I fall down dizzy
Gliding softly,
Slowly
Giving this flight a little time,
Living every second,
Before I die
And finally, I become a flower
Beautiful and still

Laid to Rest
To live is to die everyday,
I am in a fight against myself,
To win is to lose everything,
Turn around to not breathe the air I breathe
Take a look into my eyes
And look through
Camouflage in the lies,
And never come true,
My ship crashed into an iceberg when I was at my best
Buried in the shallowest of the ocean- a perfect beginning laid to rest
I am in a fight against myself,
To win is to lose everything,
Turn around to not breathe the air I breathe
Take a look into my eyes
And look through
Camouflage in the lies,
And never come true,
My ship crashed into an iceberg when I was at my best
Buried in the shallowest of the ocean- a perfect beginning laid to rest

I'm coming home
My mother is home alone
And I am with my friends getting stoned
I keep looking over my shoulders,
There's nothing weighing me down
Combed winter wind with my fingers
The sun is more tempting now
I can feel something in my head
It's like a thorn bushed into my brain
My name echoed around my ears
It has been years
Sad voices raped my high
I am not mine
Your trust was murdered long ago
I've been to the corners you should never know
I'm coming home so don't you move
I swear to change, I swear on you
You be my guide and I'll...

Let It Rain
Angels saunter down the aisle
They break your heart and rape your mind
It's in the distance where hope dies
You lean against the wall counting days and cursing life
You think its fate and everything's your fault
You maybe right and may be not
But you won't find the middle ground
And it's not just gravity pulling you down
You are in chains and there is no escape
You try to break free but fall again
You look at the world and look through
Your knees kiss the floor as you break down in two
Like love bisected you and seized everything that was good...

You Don't Die Alone
Sad woman, don't wave goodbye
The other-side is a lie
Sadness ends on death's lullaby
It's true that there is no pain afterlife
But you don't die alone
With you dies the person I'm friends with
So call me
Let my love embrace your whole
Your mother will sneak in your room, wrap her face with your bed-sheet and cry
Maybe she'll dig her face in your pillows and beg god to bring you back to life
That will go on for days
Your father; the strongest, will break down to pieces and never get back to his feet again
So scoot around the city and see...

Twisted
Do not worry,
This experiment won't take long,
We will come back to where we belong,
To the high we call sanity
He said it was the fruit of knowledge that gave us mortality
Thin man, grey beard
It was the truth that he feared
It was written in his eyes, Bold and CLEAR
He said god gave us love just to teach us what pain is
But,do you know what hate is?
She looked into my eyes and looked through
Like she knows me but, does not want to
And its true
She's closed the window from where I once flew
Or that's what she has made...

Space
There's nothing new i see,
Same old you and same old me
Orchids don't weigh the branches down,
I'm trying to find love so take a walk around
Get into this,
Breathe in the infinite,
Close your eyes and whistle your pain out,
Roll your sleeves up and twist and shout,
Drown into this ecstasy,
Listen to what the world is singing
It does not sing what you wish it did
Collect words from everything around you and dive into the melody
Dance in the rhythm of your heartbeat
And let the world know how you feel
This space is not nothing
For...

She Kissed Life Goodbye
She kissed life goodbye,
Life left smiling,
There was so much sadness in her eyes,
But life was happy,
Maybe life never liked her,
Maybe life loves death more than us,
She and we are just a road leading life to death,
DIE FOR LIFE
Let life go
Do you love life enough to let death take it away?
Would you smile on your deathbed?
Twists and turns,
round and round,
Trying to bend this river,
up and down
Trying everything possible to keep two lovers apart,
But love doesn't know walls,
Love doesn't know distance,
Life will...

Naive
Sometimes I feel like being naive is a bliss
Sometimes I feel like there are so many things that I'm missing
I try to make myself believe that I want this
But the fact remains, there are so many things that I cannot see
So many feelings that I cannot feel
So much hatred and so much greed
Evil forces never succeeded in corrupting me
But look what my goodness has done to me
Jaded, frustrated , depressed
Will I ever be the same?
Why do we always realize our mistakes when its too late??
Will I ever be able to redeem myself?

Live
I see millions of fingers curled up as fists protesting death everyday but, believe me friend, my hands will be one in very few biding farewell to life
Because every breath that I take takes me a step closer to death,
Every breath that i hold makes me feel like a fool refusing to believe that it will come to me someday,
Life is a garden where death blooms
So don't tell me not to drink, jump and smoke because I don't want to die wanting to live more,
Its not because I am not happy
I just don't want death to surprise me,
I wanna see it coming
And live
I wanna...
