Seventeen

I'm inventing life again at seventeen,
Dancing in a drawing room,
like in a dream.
I feel one hundred,
won't you come and dance with me?
You say you want to love me,
you say it’s all lies,
but tell me when are you
going to spit me back out.
I can't recall my birthday,
where has it been?
but on this lake I am floating
away downstream.
Moments are much sweeter
existing as a memory.

Grounded

I'm lost in a moment,
it happens all the time.
I recall that moment,
you sold yourself short,
so self-assured.
I don't want to back down,
write and watch the world,
write it in a book,
calm yourself down,
calm yourself down,
call yourself grounded.
You know it's not always that easy.
You're lost in a moment,
looking down the well.
It is universal,
everlasting,
all things passing.
I don't want to back down,
lying on the green,
try not to make a scene,
calm yourself down,
cry yourself out,
call yourself grounded.
You know it’s not always that easy.
You’re lost in a moment,
it happens all the time,
I recall these moments.

Kitchen Floor (4 A.M.)

I don't care what you say anymore,
I feel my pain is hanging on the kitchen floor, again.
Where are you?
Can't get through,
for so long.
I don't know where it's gone,
but I want someone like an old friend.
Days have passed,
the evening comes so soon.
Went too far,
lost the plate and the spoon.
Where are you?
In this room,
holding fumes.
I don't know what I'm worth,
but I want someone like an old friend.

Submarine

I don't know why I'm walking
through these streets at night alone.
When will my love be here,
When will you come and save me?
I'm like a submarine,
I'm looking through the periscope.
Nobody sees me,
my eyes are only open for you,
mind is barely open.
Down in the soil,
up in smoke,
a huff of heavy fumes.
Trying not to think of then,
when she was always hiding.
I don't know why I'm walking
down this road,
the 'ship has flown.
Soared out of the atmosphere,
like you're already losing,
Mind you're barely bruising.
Mind, you're barely losing.

Driving Slow
04:05
|

|
Driving slow to a bridge,
I kind of know where.
Whispering, we're almost here,
falling asleep in the front seat.
Two pretend un-feelings,
I knew to protect the ceiling of you,
a view of few.
Walking tall by a lake,
let his harness down and shake.
Whispering, hold me near,
wind the windows down to check it's real.
Two pretend un-feelings,
I knew to protect the ceiling of you,
a view of few.

Garden
04:19

|
I don't belong here anymore,
empathic like sonar,
if you ask me what the terror's for,
I couldn't tell you.
I live and breathe in memories,
the good and the ugly,
picking apart formalities,
like plasticine.
I was born in a garden
on the outside of fears,
where Cassandra slowly overtakes,
overhears.
I was born in a garden,
when I liked being me,
before the burden of my body.
Thoughts pass by,
like a bird in flight,
if you don't catch them quick.
I was born in a garden
on the outside of fears,
where Cassandra slowly overtakes,
overhears.
I was born in a garden,
when I liked being me,
before the burden of my body.
I don’t belong here anymore,
I don’t belong.

Tried to love yourself,
ignored all messages.
Trying to learn to fend instead,
try again,
because home is loneliness.
I don’t know which way is best,
saying nothing of interest.
Try again,
unfold the cigarette.
Try again,
a patient silhouette.
I’m a mess,
but I do my best.
Try again,
you never know what’s next.
Try again,
It’s anybody’s guess.

I'm too emotional,
I need a remedy,
to cross the sea,
the necessary slow dose of chemistry,
to soothe me.
Care for the family,
but not for me.
Set the table,
she is waving back at you.
Maybe this is who I've always been.
Romancer of home videos.
But the movie scene sings to me.
Evolving all my views of her,
once missing.
And I’m paralysed,
holding on,
until it thunders.
Now I'm washed clean,
now I'm washed clean,
of the memories,
flash flood memories.
