GIVE ME A GLASS
give me a glass to make the third and fourth eye disappear give me a glass to see myself less - and the world more clear give me a glass to break the wall and let the people in I need a light, I take a window warm up my within give me a glass to break the wall and let the people in I need a light, I take a window warm up my within what a world before my eyes she unfurls pretty and nice, like she's made just for me rabbits on ice - skating in rows of three and as I sink I get nearer to thee it might not be wise but sure tastes wonderfully give me a glass to make the third and fourth eye disappear give me a glass to see myself less – and the world more clear A MOMENT ALONE
I didn't think that it would be for me to look at someone without fear but here in your room with your face next to mine I'm coming closer do you know what I see when you're looking at me my brain stops and I get some rest here in your room with your face close to mine there could be only us but then black and gray come in and then jealousy comes in and the outside world comes in and your history comes in and my fears all come back in across this crowded room I see a face and I long for a moment alone with him surrounded by my fears I see a face and I long for a moment come on give us a moment will you all please leave this room I see a face and I long for a moment alone with him surrounded by my fears I see a face and I long for a moment I long for that moment |
PROBLEMS
I might have problems she might be one, but when she tells me I'll just have to take her hand and follow her to the dark side she will show me where the lights are I'll just have to take her hand and follow her to the dark side when it is daytime I find it hard to see where the lights are I'll just have to take a hand and go to under-lit places I will easily see illumination if I take a hand and let it take me down to the dark side down to the dark side tell me how it's gonna be when we are all the way down there and there's nowhere to return to I might have problems she might be one but when she tells me I'll just have to take her hand and follow her to the dark side BE DELICATE
I still need you to tell me I did well because I continue refusing telling myself I boil my blood until it's flaming hot and on that I put a pot in which I put all my words delicate, be delicate, be delicate, be delicate I could be delicate CABIN
I'm made of wood with a lot of windows you can watch what's in me - 360 degrees I'm in a forest, with a lake made for diving I'm in a forest - I'm a cabin - I'm filled with light one day she entered, she came from the lake she never walked before, only floated in water I took her in - she broke one of my windows but I didn't mind 'cause now she was in me she dried out by morning the sun made her shrivel I could've thought of that but I didn't – nor did she but I'm alright, I have some of her still in me don't you forget what you lose a hole is still a part of you |
I FALL ASLEEP SO FAST
I fall asleep so fast and dream of normal life and it goes by, and I'm alright reduce myself inside my skin think: this is it and that's alright it's all alright then a word from the outside gets inside of me and then I see that I was bigger all along I let myself fall asleep again now I'm up and standing I see so much more than when I was laying down there down there on the floor I see now what I could be living for how can I fall asleep this fast it's almost as if I want to dream of living small out of fear - or just wanting to be comfortable comfortable and fall see it all while laying on the floor no muscle flexed - the eye closed off with nothing to get up for now I'm up and standing I am so afraid that I'll doze off again with no word to wake me up again STAY
stay, don't walk away so quickly I would like to show you the path I was about to walk on would you like to come this is where I take the first steps this is where I go this is where the hill goes upwards and this is where I fall stay, don't walk away so swiftly I know it is hard it isn't easy soil to walk on and we will get stuck but if you took the time to look up you would see the sky that is where I'm going it's the longest road I know returning is the bad part but I do it for the view |
