WRITER

In the bed, eyes closed
He dreams of worlds unknown
He writes down stories
In his mind they grow.

He saves up my money
And buys a typewriter
He writes his first story
And sends it to a magazine

He’s a writer, he’s a dreamer
He lives for his stories
He’ll keep writing
Until his heart sings

He wait and wait
But he never gets replies.
He grows up and graduates
But never stops writing.

He reads stories to his friends
They say they’re beautiful
But the magazines
They never reply.

He’s a writer, he’s a dreamer
He lives for his stories
He’ll keep writing
Until his heart sings

He reads stories to his friends
They say they’re beautiful (beautiful)
But the magazines
They never reply

He’s a writer, he’s a dreamer
He lives for his stories
He’ll keep writing
Until his heart sings

He gets married, has a daughter
The magazines never replied
But he looks at his wife and daughter
And he knows it’s all right.

He’s a writer, he’s a dreamer
He lives for his stories
He’ll keep writing
Until his heart sings (sings!)

He’s a writer, he’s a dreamer (oooo)
He’s a writer, he’s a dreamer
He lives for his stories
He’ll keep writing
Until his heart sings

 

  

INVISIBLE

He wakes up in the morning
And gets dressed for work
He walks to the bus stop
And gets on his way

He sits at his desk
People laugh and joke around
He feels like an outsider
Just watching from the sidelines

He’s invisible to the world
He’s just a face in the crowd
He’s alone, even when he’s surrounded
By people all around

He goes home at night
And eats dinner alone
He watches TV for company
But he’s still all alone

One day he walks home
And finds a lost dog
He takes it home, dries it off
And gives it food

He’s invisible to the world
He’s just a face in the crowd
He’s alone, even when he’s surrounded
By people all around

He finds a tag with a phone (number)
And is afraid to call
Because he doesn’t want to
Lose his only friend

But he calls the number
And waits in fear
When the door opens
He’s amazed to see

“Thank you for taking care of my dog”
“You’re welcome”
“Can I come in?”
“I’d like that”

He was invisible to the world
He was just a face in the crowd
But you are no longer alone
If there are two of you
He was invisible to the world
He was invisible to the world
He was invisible to the world
He was just a face in the crowd
But you are no longer alone
If there are two of you

 

FLIES

I was a child
And you were a giant
You always smiled at me
But you rarely spoke
I remember years ago
Sitting outside the house
You told me in your head
You had a den of flies

Sitting in your armchair
You looked at me smiling
But you could not see me
Your gaze passed over

In your last years
You were often confused
You didn’t recognize your sons
Or your own wife

We wanted to make you remember
But there was nothing left
In your mind
Only flies

Sitting in your armchair
You looked at me smiling
But you could not see me
But you could not see me
Your gaze passed over

And now you are no longer here
You left in silence
Like the one you had
In your mind

Sitting in your armchair
You looked at me smiling
But you could not see me
But you could not see me
Your gaze passed over

 

THE FOREST

Leaves on the trail
Ferns on the sides
Seep from the trees
The rays of the sun

I’m walking in the green
Of my memories
Nothing is here
Not even you

When I can’t take it anymore
Here I get my strength
To raise my head again
Against the world

Noise in distance
Life in forest
Why can’t I stay here?
A bit longer

Life in the city
Destroys my conscience
This is the only place
That can refill me

When I can’t take it anymore
Here I get my strength
To go on a little longer
Against the world

When I can’t take it anymore
Here I get my strength
To go on a little longer
Against the world
Here I get my strength
When I can’t take it anymore
Here I get my strength
Against the world
(When I can’t take it anymore)
(Here I get my strength)
(When I can’t take it anymore)
(Here I get my strength)

 

  

SEARCHING YOU

I’m walking in the woods, in the woods
I’m searching for you there, for you there
I still don’t know where to find you
Probably wherever but here

I’m walking on the seashore, on the beach
I can’t find you even here, even here
I still don’t know where to find you
I’m starting thinking you’re not here

I don’t know where I lost you
I don’t know why I miss you
But even if I’m still in search
You probably won’t let me find you

You said you wouldn’t see me, anymore
I thought I couldn’t listen you, even more
But now I don’t know where to find you
If only I could see you (at least once)

You said you would have loved me until end
I thought I would have loved you ’till today
But baby sand has piled up
And I can’t find you here

I don’t know where I lost you
I don’t know why I miss you
But even if I’m still in search
You probably won’t let me find you

I’m walking in the woods, in the woods
I’m walking on the seashore, on the beach
But now I know where you are
And tears are starting falling down

I lost you on the street
They said it was an accident
And now I don’t know if
I loved you enough

I lost you on the street
They said it was an accident
And now I don’t know if
I loved you enough

I now know where I lost you
I now know why I missed you
But even if you’re not here
I probably won’t stop searching

 

  

FEELINGS’ WANDERER

I met you at school
You were studing math
I still can remember how you
Slipped your hair behind ears

You were an angel
In the hell of my adolescence
I dreamed of you
I thought you’d be mine

I loved the love (loved the love)
I fell in love with what
People could have been
But I wasn’t able to talk to you
I wasn’t able to talk to anyone

You were talking with your
Classmates in the cafè
I pretended to eat but I
Couldn’t take my eyes off you

Then years passed by
You became even more gorgeous
I was already sixteen but I
Still couldn’t talk to you
(ooo ooooo)

I loved the love (loved the love)
I fell in love with what
People could have been
But I wasn’t able to talk to you
I wasn’t able to talk to anyone

Then we graduated and
I didn’t see you for years
Until today on the subway
You were leaning by the window
Slipping hair behing ears
I felt my heart skip a beat
And run away
Because

I loved the love (loved the love)
I fell in love with what
People could have been
But I wasn’t able to talk to you
I wasn’t able to talk to anyone
(talk to anyone)
I wasn’t able to talk to (you) anyone
I wasn’t able to talk to anyone
I wasn’t able to talk to (you) anyone
I wasn’t able to talk to anyone

 

E10 (SWEET)

You were just one year old
Still learning to walk and talk
A silent storm within
A challenge to unlock
In the grasp of illness
You struggled to breathe
To the ER we rushed
A nightmarish eve

Dehydrated you faltered
A fragile little soul
In the doctor’s hands
The needle took its toll

In the room where fears collided
I scratched my face
Emotions too hard to hide
Twenty days of battles
Alongside your bed
Learning a new dance
Where hope and fear tread

For twenty long days
Within hospital walls
I lived and breathed ‘ur struggle
As darkness befalls

A pale smile replaced
By tears in your eyes
On the highchair you clung
A lifeline so tight
Eating with one hand
The other in mine

In the room where fears collided
I scratched my face
Emotions too hard to hide
Twenty days of battles
Alongside your bed
Learning a new dance
In the room where fears collided
I scratched my face
Emotions too hard to hide
Twenty days of battles
Alongside your bed
Learning a new dance
Where hope and fear tread

Your cry at the sight
Of a white coat remained
Months of tears
Fear lingering in your gaze
A struggle against demons
That time slowly lays

A part of you now
A thread in the fabric of life
Years have passed by
The scars have faded away
You resilient spirit
A strong woman today

I love you honey
Forever you will be
The one eating with one hand
While the other holding me

In the room where fears collided
I scratched my face
Emotions too hard to hide
Twenty days of battles
Alongside your bed
Learning a new dance
Where hope and fear tread
In the room where fears collided
I scratched my face
Emotions too hard to hide
Twenty days of battles
Alongside your bed
Learning a new dance
Learning a new dance

 

  

LOVE+HATE

I’m waiting in the car
Engine running, about to leave
This time I can’t let it go
And I won’t come back
We’ve said too much
We’ve done too much
What love can there be
When there’s so much hate?

Goodbye forever
Our love has faded
We no longer love
And that hurts so much

We’ve been together for so long
Since I asked “Do we know each other?”
And you laughed and asked me
“Is this all you can do?”

But I gave you my number
You gave me your number
And so our love
Began to come to life

Farewell forever
Our love has faded
We no longer love
And that hurts so much

But seasons went by
And our love rusted away
We can’t talk without screaming
Words we never thought we’d say

Has been like this for years
And now the time has come
My love
My fallen love

Goodbye forever
Our love has faded
We no longer love
And that hurts so much

But I turn the engine off
I slip out of the car
And I walk back home
Once more (once more)

Goodbye forever
Our love has faded
We no longer love
And that hurts so much

 

  

GOING TO

I’m sitting here in the living room
My suitcases packed and I’m ready to go
I’m leaving this place I’ve called home
And I’m not sure if I’m ready to go
I’ll miss the old man next door
Who always smiled at me
We know each others for years
Even though we never spoke

Goodbye, my old friend
It’s time for me to say goodbye
I’ll miss you, my old friend
But I know I’ll be back

I’ll miss the woman on the bus
Who always asks me how I’m doing
And I’ll miss my high school teacher
Who made me love writing

I’ll miss this house where I grew up
Where I lived with my parents
But I’ll miss it most of all
’cause it’s here they met (you)

Goodbye, my old friend
It’s time for me to say goodbye
I’ll miss you, my old friend
But I’ll never forget you

I’m sad to leave this place
But I’m mostly excited
Since I’m about to start a new life
With you

Goodbye, my old friend
Goodbye, my old friend

 

  

BEHIND MY EYES

Space, dreams
Fragments of a moment
We only know the beginning
And nothing about the next moment
Tightened only by nothingness
That divides common knowledge
But combines illusions

I’m done, I’m done
You’re trying to fix me
But there’s nothing you can do

Mirages, mirages
Real metamorphoses of a dream
All decided, all changed
Constant of the future
Unique and unfailing assurance
Of what we’ll be

I’m done, I’m done
You’re trying to fix me
But there’s nothing that can do it

Desires, passions
Endless tickling moments of the body

Death, life
Eye and what’s behind it

I’m done (I’m done) I’m done (I’m done)
You’re trying to fix me
But there’s nothing that can do it
I’m done (I’m done) I’m done (I’m done)
You’re trying to fix me
But there’s nothing you can do

I’m done (I’m done) I’m done (I’m done)
You’re trying to fix me
But there’s nothing that can do it
I’m done (I’m done) I’m done (I’m done)
You’re trying to fix me
But there’s nothing you can do

 

  

FRACTURED

In the shadows of my mind
I’m lost and confined
A soul that’s fractured
Can’t escape the bind
Silent screams within
Panic takes its hold
In open spaces, fear unfolds

Crowded rooms I start to choke
Anxiety’s grip a heart that’s broke
Fighting battles no one sees
Invisible scars, haunting memories

Desperate for a savior
A light in the dark
Yearning for connection
A lifeline, a spark
Through the haze a glimmer of hope
But finding solace is a slippery slope

But thank God there’s you, a haven true
In my mind, a vision I pursue
Amidst the chaos, you’re my refuge
The one who saves me
From this self-made deluge

Nightmares dance in daylight’s sun
Fighting battles that can’t be won
Estranged from myself I drift away
In search of a dawn a brighter day

Desperate for a savior
A light in the dark
Yearning for connection
A lifeline, a spark
Through the haze a glimmer of hope
But finding solace is a slippery slope

But thank God there’s you a haven true
In my mind a vision I pursue
Amidst the chaos you’re my refuge
The one who saves me
From this self-made deluge

I wander through the echoes of my mind
Hoping to find you one of a kind
Illusions fade reality’s cold embrace
Still searching for you
In this endless space

The battles rage but I soldier on
In the shadows where I don’t belong
Longing for the one who understands
In this barren landscape life demands

Desperate for a savior
A light in the dark
Yearning for connection
A lifeline, a spark
Through the haze a glimmer of hope
But finding solace is a slippery slope

But thank God there’s you a haven true
In my mind a vision I pursue
But thank God there’s you a haven true
In my mind a vision I pursue
Amidst the chaos you’re my refuge
The one who saves me
From this self-made deluge

In the silence I’m left alone
A phantom love I’ve never known
Yet I’ll keep dreaming through the night
Hoping one day you’ll come into sight

But thank God there’s you a haven true
In my mind a vision I pursue
Amidst the chaos you’re my refuge
The one who saves me
From this self-made deluge
The one who saves me
From this self-made deluge
The one who saves me
From this self-made deluge
