Paralleluniversum
Es dauerte nur eine Sekunde
Ein einziger Glanz
Wie auf Zufall
Richteten sich meine Augen
Auf deiner
Du standest über alle
Dein Gesicht war klar
Auch wenn es kaum Licht gab
Und wir in der Menschen Masse
Versenkten
Doch neben dir stand eine andere
Sie mochte dich auch
Doch sie, im Gegensatz
Hatte mehr Glück
Denn sie hielt deine Hand
Vielleicht
In einem Paralleluniversum
Irgendwo da draußen
Existieren nur wir beide
Und deine Augen suchen nur meine
Ein einziger Glanz
Wie auf Zufall
Richteten sich meine Augen
Auf deiner
Du standest über alle
Dein Gesicht war klar
Auch wenn es kaum Licht gab
Und wir in der Menschen Masse
Versenkten
Doch neben dir stand eine andere
Sie mochte dich auch
Doch sie, im Gegensatz
Hatte mehr Glück
Denn sie hielt deine Hand
Vielleicht
In einem Paralleluniversum
Irgendwo da draußen
Existieren nur wir beide
Und deine Augen suchen nur meine

Sometimes
Often times I find myself
Angry at my thoughts
Frustrated with myself
And all the things I do
Sometimes I wish
That there was a switch
To turn off my thoughts
Make them just background noise
Yet today I found myself
Looking at myself
And I saw my emotions
Reflect in the mirror
How unique they are
My thoughts and feelings
That only I feel
Only I create
Angry at my thoughts
Frustrated with myself
And all the things I do
Sometimes I wish
That there was a switch
To turn off my thoughts
Make them just background noise
Yet today I found myself
Looking at myself
And I saw my emotions
Reflect in the mirror
How unique they are
My thoughts and feelings
That only I feel
Only I create

Beauty Salon
Is this what I have to do
In order to be pretty?
Is this what I should wear
To be considered sexy?
First dress up
With the shortest skirt you own
Next your make-up
Apply it until you're unrecognizable
Go to the club
Take a few shots
Dance in the middle of the crowd
Flirt with all the boys
And when he calls you pretty
You feel a little better
Because you can't say that to yourself
You need his confirmation
Is that what it takes to feel loved?
Is that what it takes to be...
In order to be pretty?
Is this what I should wear
To be considered sexy?
First dress up
With the shortest skirt you own
Next your make-up
Apply it until you're unrecognizable
Go to the club
Take a few shots
Dance in the middle of the crowd
Flirt with all the boys
And when he calls you pretty
You feel a little better
Because you can't say that to yourself
You need his confirmation
Is that what it takes to feel loved?
Is that what it takes to be...

Glass Doll
I'm made of fragile glass
One fall and I crash
And as the ground shakes
I fit the pieces back together
Tell me I'm beautiful
Because I can't see
Tell me you love me
Because my heart has ceased to beat
All those things that they say
Float right above my head
A cloud gray and angry
That rains daggers down on me
And I stay still
Taking the sharp pain in
Because all the walls I built
Have long since broken down
One fall and I crash
And as the ground shakes
I fit the pieces back together
Tell me I'm beautiful
Because I can't see
Tell me you love me
Because my heart has ceased to beat
All those things that they say
Float right above my head
A cloud gray and angry
That rains daggers down on me
And I stay still
Taking the sharp pain in
Because all the walls I built
Have long since broken down

Behind a Mask
Every time I take a step outside
I have to pretend to be someone else
Cause I don't want to draw you into my madness
I don't want to show you all the sadness
And you might be thinking
That I look just fine
That when I smile and laugh it's all alright
But you'll never be able to understand
And it's my fault for not giving you a chance
But you're just so good to me
I would hate to erase
That childlike happiness on your face
You don't need my misery
So I think I'll stay quiet for now
Let me enjoy...

Night Fever
This party is too much for me
So I step out to the night
At the edge of the moonlit lake
I see your perfect silhouette
You shift your eyes upon me
In your hand a lightened cigarette
That your tender fingers grasp
With such a raw delicacy
Both our spirits under the influence
Thus I feel no fear or hesitation
As I let myself slip down beside you
My hand reaching out for your cigar
Speaking about anything
Laughing about everything
We lie down on the warm grass
Hand in hand, shoulder to...
So I step out to the night

Thus I feel no fear or hesitation

Wait For Me
Turn my gaze and you're no longer there
Search for you in an endless maze
Step outside to the blinding light
Your silhouette casting shadows on the ground
Won't you wait for me?
Won't you turn around?
Won't you look me one last time in the eyes?
Can't cry out when you're so far away
Just run until I reach you
Until my legs won't be able to bare it
And my lungs will light on fire
At the end of the world we meet
Your eyes look blankly down on me
And my heart aches, my throat tightens
As I make out...
Search for you in an endless maze
Step outside to the blinding light
Your silhouette casting shadows on the ground
Won't you wait for me?
Won't you turn around?
Won't you look me one last time in the eyes?
Can't cry out when you're so far away
Just run until I reach you
Until my legs won't be able to bare it
And my lungs will light on fire
At the end of the world we meet
Your eyes look blankly down on me
And my heart aches, my throat tightens

Stuck
Can't have what you can't take
Can't give what you don't have
Stuck with what God gave you
For good and for bad
Don't try to deny yourself
It will just go in vain
Learn how to love myself
Cause that's all that I have
Routine of my day to day life
Same people same faces
People who love me and whom I love
But sometimes the air gets hard to breathe
A fire in me lights up my deepest desire
And my legs take me somewhere
Anywhere
Far away
Can't give what you don't have
Stuck with what God gave you
For good and for bad
Don't try to deny yourself
It will just go in vain
Learn how to love myself
Cause that's all that I have
Routine of my day to day life
Same people same faces
People who love me and whom I love
But sometimes the air gets hard to breathe
A fire in me lights up my deepest desire
And my legs take me somewhere
Anywhere
Far away

EROTIC POEM

Euphoria
Lay me down here
On your bed
Let me look into your eyes
Lose myself in them
And as your soft lips
Attach themselves to mine
I'm drugged by the sensation
Can't focus on anything but your touch
Feel the heat waves of your body
Your hands find every part of my skin
Every sound that you create
Makes me want to give you full control of me
Mind and body out of reach
The pleasure consumes every part of me
Pure euphoria as I close my eyes
Letting it take me to paradise
On your bed
Let me look into your eyes
Lose myself in them
And as your soft lips
Attach themselves to mine
I'm drugged by the sensation
Can't focus on anything but your touch
Feel the heat waves of your body
Your hands find every part of my skin
Every sound that you create
Makes me want to give you full control of me
Mind and body out of reach
The pleasure consumes every part of me
Pure euphoria as I close my eyes
Letting it take me to paradise

Falling down the rabbit hole
Sitting here
I'm slowly losing focus on what's real
Don't close your eyes
Your mind will lead you down endless paths
Seeing into the past
Wishing that now I could go back
Stronger and more mature
To correct everything that has gone wrong
Eyes wide open
Reality hits me without a warning
And for a moment
I'm present in body but my thoughts linger
Suddenly, your voice
Arouses in hazey waves through the void
Like bells ringing underwater
Your presence brings me back onshore
I'm slowly losing focus on what's real
Don't close your eyes
Your mind will lead you down endless paths
Seeing into the past
Wishing that now I could go back
Stronger and more mature
To correct everything that has gone wrong
Eyes wide open
Reality hits me without a warning
And for a moment
I'm present in body but my thoughts linger
Suddenly, your voice
Arouses in hazey waves through the void
Like bells ringing underwater
Your presence brings me back onshore

Lost Myself
Ich drehe mich im Kreis herum
Versuche
Mein Platz auf dieser Erde zu finden
Doch alleine schaff' ich das nicht
Ich brauche dich
An meiner Seite stehend
So viele Menschen an so vielen Orten
Jeder
Hat etwas tu tun
Und ich stehe hier, mitten im nirgendwo
Warte
Auf irgendwas
Nichts passiert, Straße steht verlassen
Dunkel
Nur der funkeln der Laternen, begleitet mich
Versuche
Mein Platz auf dieser Erde zu finden
Doch alleine schaff' ich das nicht
Ich brauche dich
An meiner Seite stehend
So viele Menschen an so vielen Orten
Jeder
Hat etwas tu tun
Und ich stehe hier, mitten im nirgendwo
Warte
Auf irgendwas
Nichts passiert, Straße steht verlassen
Dunkel
Nur der funkeln der Laternen, begleitet mich

Safe place
Tell me when it's time to go
Cause I don't want to get up yet
Closing my eyes, just for a split second
All my problems seem so small
I let the wind whistle through my hair
Feel it soothingly caressing my face
And as I hear the birds singing above
I imagine myself joining their lovely tribe
Up here in my little tree house, all is quiet
No prying eyes or judging mouths
Just myself in my most truthful form
Cause I don't want to get up yet
Closing my eyes, just for a split second
All my problems seem so small
I let the wind whistle through my hair
Feel it soothingly caressing my face
And as I hear the birds singing above
I imagine myself joining their lovely tribe
Up here in my little tree house, all is quiet
No prying eyes or judging mouths
Just myself in my most truthful form
