We Are One
We all went back to sleep to finish a dream,
To be something,
To hold what we always touched and missed,
To exist
We see ourselves in the movies
We are heroes wanting to fly back in time to make things right,
To stop Nazis,
To turn off the radio and unite Hutus and Tutsis,
To show Kount the diabolic sign above his Christ,
We want to tell Bathory that pictures don't age
To tell Elizabeth that she will destroy herself in rage
We want to sacrifice ourselves for history to make this world smile
We love and hate Solomon at the same time
We...

Butterfly
I asked the sun to cast his light,
Only then will she open her eyes,
Cocooned in her blanket sleeps my butterfly
The sun said," I do not want to burn the dream off her eyes,
Let her wake up first and only then will I rise"
Only then will she open her eyes,
Cocooned in her blanket sleeps my butterfly
The sun said," I do not want to burn the dream off her eyes,
Let her wake up first and only then will I rise"

The Highway
Do not call me when I am drunk
Words of love may reach your ears but do not blush because you are not who they are for,
Do not come to me when I am drunk,
Hand in hand we may dance, I may pull you closer and feel her,
Thorns and flowers appear the same to me when I am drunk
The pricks may hurt but let it
the rose is worth all the pain that this world has to offer
Do not follow me when I walk away
the footsteps I will leave behind will only lead to sleepless nights,
I will stagger through aisles, through dark alleys and reach the highway where it all ended...
Words of love may reach your ears but do not blush because you are not who they are for,
Do not come to me when I am drunk,
Hand in hand we may dance, I may pull you closer and feel her,
Thorns and flowers appear the same to me when I am drunk
The pricks may hurt but let it
the rose is worth all the pain that this world has to offer
Do not follow me when I walk away
the footsteps I will leave behind will only lead to sleepless nights,
I will stagger through aisles, through dark alleys and reach the highway where it all ended...

Bhaktapur
I looked into her eyes and Bhaktapur stood still,
Speak up said the voice from the inside,
'hold it right there'- said my mind
Words came to my throat and my tongue froze
I needed to throw it all out
"coward"- the word echoed around my ears, daunting the already dumbstruck I,
"I love you"- the words finally broke the gates of silence but she had moved on
Treading aimlessly on the streets, switching lanes and running in circles again

Keep Walking
Move on
Two words
But yeah, move on
He has left you
She is gone
Maybe your dream of waking up next to her remained a dream,
The truth hurts but maybe it was never meant to be,
Now when he spreads his arms wide open, the silent call is for someone else
But know that if love ended then love was never there
So move on
Breathe
Know that the split could not stop your heart from beating
You are trying to hold on to something that never existed
And no matter how hard it is to believe, nothing else has changed
So let go
For what you really...

chains
The questions asphyxiate
There's so much that this world is hiding from me
Dwelling in between truths and the lies
Realities daunting my eyes
The sickness mundane
I live in a mutual masturbation society
In the end when you walk back into your life; you'll realize that you never lived for yourself
When you buy a product for your family, you profit the company that produced it
There are agents and sellers in between
There are so many people who benefit from my one single action
Still we have narcissists who disregard the chain and preach division ...

need I write more?
In the end you'll question your beliefs
In the end you'll realize that your faith in god was actually the fear of hell
Everything you did - you did in vain
It was not god behind the rain
I'll be all ears when you walk back into your life
I'll forgive you before you apologize
I'll hit you with all the good you failed to see
But before i begin, I'll walk you to the corners where the sun never reached
The crowd ready to stone the woman accused of adultery
The pyre set for the woman accused of sorcery
Devils inside schizophrenics
A rabbi unclothing...

Vampire
How do you not burn in the sunlight?
Are you immune or are you of another kind?
Do you walk the earth with 13 in your mind?
Is that flesh actually a veil hiding the demon inside?
Do you want to deflower virgins and leave them like a sheared sheep?
Does the stench of carcass give you ecstasy?
Do you walk through walls when no-one's around?
Do you vile and walk proud?
Can you get into my brain through my eyes?
Do you camouflage like a chameleon and make us swallow your lies?
Would you bleed if I prick a needle into your skin?
Or will you drain out...

Boomerang
Play me a love song that hurts the least,
And dear schools of faith, lie to me
Tell me that this world will take one quick turn and she will return
Bring me god because everytime I close my eyes I float back to the park-bench that still fits us perfectly,
I feel the cold we once touched and missed
And I float back to the garden from where we watched this earth hide in grey
There's as much love in the air and the music it plays around my ears makes me wanna forget all that remained and keep floating
And In my dreams I wake up next to her,
I look at her curls...
And dear schools of faith, lie to me
Tell me that this world will take one quick turn and she will return
Bring me god because everytime I close my eyes I float back to the park-bench that still fits us perfectly,
I feel the cold we once touched and missed
And I float back to the garden from where we watched this earth hide in grey
There's as much love in the air and the music it plays around my ears makes me wanna forget all that remained and keep floating
And In my dreams I wake up next to her,

her tongue
Her hair was as long as her tongue,
Maybe a little longer
Her tongue was not normal,
I think it still is not
Her tongue was so long that everytime we kissed I'd push her away after seconds thinking her tongue might get stuck in my throat or below and I'd die,
I'd push her away, breathe in and breathe out, take a long breath and then pull her back to kiss her one last time
I kissed her like i have kissed her hundreds of times but never learned so i kissed her like it was my first,
She kissed me like she knew her father was watching us but she was not bothered,...

Complete Me
Who is in the song you sing?
Who gives words to your feelings?
Who is the he of your poetry?
What is it that you seek?
Look around,
Describe what you see,
Look inside yourself,
Look at me
Come closer,
look into my eyes.
Stare until the tiny dust particles that travel with the sunlight, stop glittering
Stare until you see yourself in me
Place your ear against my chest,
Hear my heart beating in the rhythm of your name
Never will I ask you to be there for me,
Never will I not be there when you're in need,
We'll find a park bench...

Take me with you,
Through the classroom windows from where i flew,
In the garden where memories grew,
To the childhood where all the wounds were new
Over the horizons which I once knew,
To the mountains which I once drew,
Into the dreams which i once sew,
Crack wide open my world in two,
Take me with you,
Take me anywhere,
Closer to you or away from myself
Take a box full of spray paints and spray paint over the walls confining me,
Paint a star, the sun and the moon and you,
Paint a rainbow,
Paint me red, green and yellow
