It's so bizarre, I have fallen in love
with my neighbor who lives downstairs.
A tiny girl, cross-eyed, deaf and mute,
but I speak some sign, and I love her
She's pale and she's sickly, drinks all the time,
swallows any drug she comes across.
She doesn't tell me what is wrong,
but I hug her in her bed to keep her warm
She doesn't shiver so much anymore,
she forgets that she needs the drug.
You are my drug, she says, You are my new drug,
and she kisses me under the blankets
I love her so much, my silly cross eyed girlfriend,
I can't believe how lucky I am.
If one day she'll go away, leave me forever,
I'll always be happy, for knowing her

Silence

Silence I
cannot
hear
a thing
You're talking to me but I
don't know
what
you say
I want to hear your
voice, love
I want to hear your
voice
Darkness I
cannot
see
a thing
The stars are shining
but not
here
within
I want to see your
eyes, love
I want to see your
eyes
numbness I
cannot
feel
a thing
Does my heart beat?
does my belly
sink?
I want to feel
your pretty face, love
I want to feel
your pretty face
Dumbness,
I cannot
say
a thing
Miss the moment
it may never
come
again
I want to say
I love you, love
I want to say
Silence I
cannot
hear
a thing
You're talking to me but I
don't know
what
you say
I want to hear your
voice, love
I want to hear

Where Have I Gone Wrong
05:58
|
|||
|
Where have I gone wrong?
If I could place, a single point in time
Was it when I fucked the runaway?
Was it when I chased the blue flame?
Was it when I craved to smash the skull
of he who took my love away from me?
Or was it long, long before,
deep in the shadows of the past?
I heard the news,
ten thousand died,
what does it matter? They are just scraps of flesh,
floating on this rock they call earth,
washing on the empty shores of space
I sit in my house all day all night,
or walking aimlessly down the street.
I remember when I used to drink all day, it was fun in its way,
now I don't drink, what's the point?
Oblivion is the same as lucidity,
confusion is the same as the sharpest clarity
My landlord said I have one more week,
after that I'm in the streets.
It doesn't matter, not a little bit.
Sometimes a soft wind blows by,
carrying a song I almost recognize,
a scent, a touch, a piece of string,
and I look around, and my heart grows cold,
and I can almost feel, but it slips away
and yet I live, I must have eaten and drank,
I'm sure I breath, else I would have died.
Or maybe I'm dead, and I'm just a ghost,
it is impossible to tell.
I can ask someone, if they can see me,
but what's the point,
I do not care

Miss May

I see you
crying
in the dark.
broken, helpless
in some room
If I was there
I would have
reached out to you.
but you're alone,
no one can help you
I love you miss May
I want to make you happy
Without me
you paint lovely pictures,
or maybe sing softly
to a baby
I want you
to fall
into the dark again,
and call me
and I'll come
and we'll fly away
To the forest
in the mountains,
where the golden birds
sing your name.
And we'll kiss
And we'll fall a sleep
under the ancient oak tree
I love you miss may
I want to make you happy

One Cat

no girl
no boy
no fun
no joy
no dough
no dope
no hoe
no hope
but one cat is all I need to be happy
but one cat is all I need to be happy
no sex
no life
no smile
no laugh
no fame
no faith
no love
no friends
but one cat is all I need to be happy
but one cat is all I need to be happy
but one cat is all I need to be happy

Perfect Love

When all the battles were lost
I was broken
my hands were limp
There came a girl
with shining eyes
to love me
When I joke,
she laugh.
When I stumble,
she hold me up.
she love all my stupid things
and I her's
There's no need to speak
Your hand on my lips
We are so close
We melt to a song
When I read the paper,
she pips.
When I can't sleep,
she counts for me sheep.
If she cries, I smile,
and it all it takes
to comfort her
There's no need to speak
Your hand on my lips
We are so close
We melt to a song
A friend told me I'm wrong
I must awake for she does not exist
But I can feel her in my arms
She's real to me
There's no need to speak
Your hand on my lips
We are so close
We melt to a song

Lost
In her own room
Hiding
Inside a mushroom
Oh, I love her
But I can't see her
I want her
but I don't know where
Lost In her own maze
hiding behind her own face
I look for her in the darkness
Can i touch was is nowhere?
Lost
in her own bed
hiding with a sex friend
I think of sleeping with her
It makes me smile and tremble
Lost
in her own space
hiding behind her own face
I'm sure i could comfort her
I'm sure i could make it better
Lost
in her own room
hiding inside a mushroom
Oh i love her
but i can't see her
Oh i want her
but i don't know where

Deeper Than Me

You have given me everything
You are my best friend
Why can't you see that?
I do not know
You are my true love
I'll always remember you
but you do not want to live,
how can I?
Can't you see that I cried?
I'll always remember you.
Don't be so mad at me
I'm just a fool
I wait by the phone
hoping you'll call me up.
Your wound is so deep,
deeper than me
Sometimes I hope you'll die
And I can end my life
No more tears
No more hope

and when she went down to the forest
the little princess who no-one knew
then she saw the goblin
she took her skirt down
and held his hand
together they took a ride to somewhere land
when she left she though she's homeless
but she didn't know whats waiting there
is it sunshine like in the forest?
or is it wispers like promised land?
they came across to the mad dragon
but he couldn't even see they're there
he only could smell them
and it got him really sad
then they ran into the fairy mary
and she tought them how to fly
then they went out of proportion
and they cracked out of themselves
thats where the story end
cause they found the somewhere land
somehow that day or another
sometime somewhere
