From one To Another

From one to another
From here to over there
Towards you
Something, getting somehow, somewhere
Closer to and further from
Closer to and further from
Heart stirred
Thoughts blurred
I feel scared
I know it's absurd
Trying my best to avoid
I try not to let it show
Trying my best to have a choice
I try not to let it go
From one to another
From here to over there
From here to over you.

Your Life

I wanted to say to you
how beautiful you are to me
how brave you seem
how brave you are
I like the way you stand up for what you believe is true
how you find your way through
I like that you seem so sure where I’d feel insecure
I like the way you choose
Your Life
Your Life
I like that you seem peaceful
and I suddenly feel like everything is possible.
Possible. possible.

Unknown

I never meant to intrude,
Never said I needed it to become true
it lived within the space between
unknown untold unseen
unknown unshown unrevealed
It nested in the back of my mind
It lived within the space behind
I let her sing in the space between
where you shouldn't have been
It was not for you to hear my dear
I'm sorry if you did
I'm sorry if you noticed
I must admit I can't control it
I must admit I must admit
I tried to hide it,
I guess I know it's wrong
She 's best
Unknown Untold Unseen
Unknown unshown unrevealed
She will disappear before it ever gets near
I will let her fade away in the space between
you and me,
Them and him
Them and us.

Whirlpool

I close the door
My back against the wall, I fall
Breathe in Breathe out
Breathe in Breathe out
Breathe In Breath out
Breathe in Breath out
I walk down the stairs
leaving you up there
with your guilt and fears
I holdback my tears
and disappear
as you please
my dear
Step by Step down the whirlpool of my sorrow
I wonder how I'll feel tomorrow
When I'm alone
Breathe in Breathe out
Breathe in Breathe out
Breathe in Breathe out
Depth to depth I seem to wonder
Diving in and out of these waters
Out of control
Breathe in Breathe out
Breathe in Breathe out
Breathe in Breathe out
Breathe in Breathe out
Breathe out
Breathe out
Breathe out
Breathe out

The dot
03:36
|

Within the Dot
is all I dare not
Within the dot is all I can’t stop
feel I cannot share
it tells untellable words love unfair
it means all I may not do
voiceless lines who only strew
All my sweet ventures squeeze
into one forbidden pressure Neat
Within the dot
is all I dare not
within the dot eye tears.
I tear up thoughts of a wretched sort
quiet the useless needs sought (born)
avoid pain as much as answers
all doubts remain uncovered
it invokes the start and beginning.
it doesn’t quite end anything.
it contains in vain
within the Dot
is all I dare not
within the dot
is all I can't stop
feel I cannot share
it tells untellable words love unfair
it means all I may not do
voiceless lines who only strew
All my sweet ventures squeeze
into one forbidden pressure Neat
Within the dot
is all I dare not
within the dot
is all I can't stop

Je danse

Peine du mois de décembre
Gris qui dépeint l’ombre,
Folle qui naît du froid,
Qui s’est perdu, qui ne sait pas
Qui ne sait plus
Fantôme de nos hivers
Qui vogue le long des rues et des chemins de fer
D’un air absent, d’un air perdu
Tu vogues le long des rues
Ame frêle et docile
Qui s’oublie et s’éparpille
De gauche à droite et de bas en haut
Je flotte à la surface de l’eau
Dans un bel état d’urgence.
A deux pas de là je danse
Sans plus chercher de sens
Sans plus chercher de sens
Sans plus chercher de sens

Wash it away
Wash it away
Surrender, Surrender,
Surrender, Surrender, Sur…
Comply with peace
As it calls you to sleep
Hand over my heart
Withhold, withhold
Give in,give in
In the dark, give
Surrender, Surrender
Surrender,Surrender
Or
Resist the fall
The call to more
More to sigh for
More to come
More to ache for
More for less
Surrender,surrender
Surrender surrender Sur….
Or rejoice in the days of spring
Remember the awakening of things
Cease the hunt of shadows
Give up the name who echoes
Like a hellish bewitched song
Upon our thirsty eyes
Upon our starving lips
Feeding the foolish fires
Surrender, Surrender,
Surrender, Surrender, …
Comply with peace
As it calls you to sleep
Hand over my heart
Withhold, withhold
Withhold.
Surrender, Surrender,
Surrender, Surrender,

Beyond the Need
03:32

Let me shiver
As a silent observer
As a child would do
let me listen to you
dear man
don't misunderstand
I'm here as a dreamer to learn
not as a lover you'd burn out
don't mistake me
I'm here as in a stream
beyond the need
beyond the need
beyond that need
beyond the need
I'll let you hold me
and I'll let you own me
I'll give in if that is what you need
but dear man
you misunderstand
how can I stay wholehearted
how can I stay enchanted
if I let you hold me
beyond the need
beyond that need
beyond the need
Just Let me shiver
As a silent observer
As a child would do
let me listen to you

I was Wrong hoped for a depth within your song
Acting strong yet tears of an affected heart drift along
yet tears of an addicted heart drift along
yet fears of an affected heart Drift along
I was Wrong
Useless and vain is my pain as the rain & the wind blows
Useless and vain is my pain as the rain & the wind blows
I was Wrong, I was wrong
hoped for a depth within your songs
acting strong yet tears of an affected heart drift along
Useless and vain is my pain as the rain & the wind blows
Useless and vain is my pain as the rain & the wind blows
Useless and vain is my pain as the rain & the wind blows
As the wind blows, as the rain falls
As the wind blows, as the wind blows
As the wind blows.
To keep the best you can put your worried soul to rest
I'll keep the best you can put your selfish soul to rest
forgive & forget that is what I know best
forgive and forget move on, carry on, move on, carry on, move on, carry on
Cuz Useless and vain is my pain as the rain & the wind blows
Useless and vain is my pain as the rain & the wind blows
Useless and vain is my pain as the rain & the wind blows
I should've known better
doesn't matter don't bother
I should've known better
doesn't matter don't bother
I should've known better
doesn't matter don't bother
I should've known better
doesn't matter don't bother
I should've known better
doesn't matter don't bother
Your emotions are unemployed and (plain)
that's a shame for you, foolish,
Foolish man.

Your Kingdom
01:45
|

Your kingdom
Absorbed in the mass
our inroads cross
as we walk by shapes who follow unaware or blind
afflicted by our own shadowy twisted mind and form waving behind
we seat the same ship alive, or still unborn ( yet to be born)
each line is continuous as night to dawn
will answers unravel ? From young to old ?
half asleep when you travel, you are cold
awake my innocent child within.
these wrongs are adulthoods sins
hearts bleed and have so often been bitten
a thousand mouths and thoughts within the bodies doors
the others kingdom births a billion paths and corridors
unspoken stories whispered To the wind
ah ah ah
ah ah ah
whispered to the wind
or to the nights silence
whoever hears our hopes and ever bothers to listen ?
There’s bound to be someone
ah ah ah
ah ah ah one
someone one one one
It’s too hard to believe there’s no one
no one.
someone , there’s bound to be someone
within your kingdom

O my love, what gift of mine Shall I give you this dawn? A morning song? But morning does not last long— The heat of the sun Wilts like a flower And songs that tire Are done. O friend, when you come to my gate. At dusk What is it you ask? What shall I bring you? A light? A lamp from a secret corner of my silent house? But will you want to take it with you Down the crowded street? Alas, The wind will blow it out. Whatever gifts are in my power to give you, Be they flowers, Be they gems for your neck How can they please you If in time they must surely wither, Crack, Lose lustre? All that my hands can place in yours Will slip through your fingers And fall forgotten to the dust To turn into dust. Rather, When you have leisure, Wander idly through my garden in spring And let an unknown, hidden flower’s scent startle you Into sudden wondering— Let that displaced moment Be my gift. Or if, as you peer your way down a shady avenue, Suddenly, spilled From the thick gathered tresses of evening A single shivering fleck of sunset-light stops you, Turns your daydreams to gold, Let that light be an innocent Gift. Truest treasure is fleeting; It sparkles for a moment, then goes. It does not tell its name; its tune Stops us in our tracks, its dance disappears At the toss of an anklet I know no way to it— No hand, nor word can reach it. Friend, whatever you take of it, On your own, Without asking, without knowing, let that Be yours. Anything I can give you is trifling— Be it a flower, or a song.
O, bel amour, que puis je t’offrir à l’aube de cette journée, une chanson matinale? mais les matins ne durent jamais, la chaleur du soleil les fait vanner comme des fleurs et les chants qui fatiguent se taisent O ami, lorsque tu viens à mon portail le soir que me veux tu ? que dois je t’apporter? une lumière ? une lampe issues d’un coin secret de ma maison silencieuse? mais voudras tu l’amener avec toi dans les rues bondées, hélas, le vent l’éteindra, Tout ce qu’il est dans mon pouvoir de t’offrir, que cela soient des fleurs que cela soient des bijoux pour ton cou, comment pourraient-ils te plaire, si avec le temps ils s’abiment inévitablement. craquent, perdent de leurs lueurs. Tout ce que ma main peut placer dans la tienne glissera à travers tes doigts et retournera oublié jusqu’à la terre redeviendra poussière, Plutôt, quand tu as du plaisir, te promène sans but, à travers mon jardin au printemps, et te laisse surprendre par une une fleur inconnue, cachée, te laissant en suspend et songeur, laisse ce moment inattendu être de mon fait, mon offrande, Ou, si pendant que tu aires dans les avenues ombragées, soudainement, dégoulinant de l’épaisse chevelure tressée du soir un seul rayon du soleil couchant t’arrête, transforme ta rêverie en or, laisse cet éclat être mon cadeaux innocent. le véritable trésor est fuyant il brille pour un temps, puis s’évanouit il ne se nomme pas, sa chanson nous halte dans notre parcours, et sa danse disparait au scintillement d’un bracelet de cheville je ne sais y aller, aucun mot, aucune main ne peut l’atteindre, Ami, peu importe ce que tu en retiens, seul, sans demander, sans même savoir, prends le pour toi, tout ce que je peux t’offrir est éphémère que cela soit une fleur, ou une chanson.

Backwards
I had to make up my mind
for my own sake
I have to make up my mind
for your own sake
I won’t fall back
I won’t fall back
I won’t fall
backwards
my love is so hurt
has been so misunderstood
I guess I learn
not as fast as I should
I guess I learn
not as fast as I could
you say you have no time to loose
I tell you I need more
to be sure
that it’s true
beneath the walls
we built in between us two
during the years
in between our tears
I can’t tell what’s love from fear
I can’t feel
I can’t not feel
nor joy, nor pain.
can I say that I’m alive,
when I feel this dead inside?
I had to make up my mind
For my own sake
we have to make up our minds
should we fall back ?
should we fall back ?
should we fall backwards?
