Vliegen

Saai en verbitterd
schuif ik voor me uit
een lang leven
dat ik niet wil erkennen
maar ontvluchten
gebroken vleugels houden me hier
geketend aan de grond
omringd door niets dan stof
en mijn eigen verwarring
zaait onrust in mijn ziel
terwijl de nacht stilletjes valt
en de duisternis zich over me ontfermt
denk ik aan vliegen

Mens Einde

Twee muren van stof
en twee muren van vuur
vallen samen om me heen
in het vage licht
van mijn laatste uur

Het verdovende geluid
van een kloppend hart
dat langzaam ermee stopt
en vervolgens verdwijnt

Dit verwelkomt het moment
van een laatste dag
en een laatste beweging
een laatste adem
en een laatste licht
Van een laatste zorgen
en een laatste vrede
van de laatste woorden
en nog een laatste lach


Ik ga heen
en groet mijn laatste dag

Spinnewiel

Je ontrafelt als wol
spinnewiel, je gaat te snel
te oud, te lang geleden
te veel geschiedenis
en elke herinnering
verbrandt mijn lichaam
verteert mijn ziel
en vreet mijn bewustzijn
je eet me op
rauw, puur en ongezuiverd
ik alleen ben een deel van jou

I Fly

I fly
into a sky that burns a mile high
I saw the devil and I couldn't hide
so I went up and found the afterlife

I fly
into a dream that is my waking life
where everything is wrapped in golden light
and people smile because they're all alright

I fly
don't wake me please I'm burning so bright
this waking dream is why I love life
it sets me free and lets the hurt slide

The King Who Waits

I burn the quiet bright horizon
in the evening it will come
the falling of the world's sun
and the leaving of us all

It brings a tidal wave of golden
flushing all that's calm and green
and show us all the way of holding
to the ones that we hold dear

I saw the doves dancing in circles
flying high above the sea
in the evening light of purple
they dance away the worried ways

And all the lonely shores of wisdom
with their age old knowledge found
through ancient times into a kingdom
where the king waits for the call

And in his hands a frozen tremble
and a nervousness is felt
for he waits in his old temple
for the calling of us all

Beating Heart

I'm gonna run to make you feel this heart
I'm gonna make you feel it's ticking clock
Be sure to feel while it's still beating hard
I'll give you the keys so it can be unlocked

Throw them out
throw them out
and leave me
wide open now

Dig on in
dig on in
creep on
under my skin

I was running to make you feel this heart
making sure you were feeling its ticking clock
and while you felt it beating hard
I threw out the keys so it couldn't be locked


I threw 'em out
and left myself
wide open

You dug in
and crept under
my skin

A Sinner's Warning

There's bleak in eyes that never see
and shadows fall where love is deep
the fallen man comes to his knees
and says a prayer to he who heeds

A solemn warning for the withered
flower and tree for the wildest river
flowing fast it aims to shiver
and breaks away to find the giver

On his knees to bear sun's guilt
around him wrapped the mourning quilt
to wash away the dirt and filth
he calls to arms for blood is spilled

Old Coals

This heart burns hot on coals
it runs and runs and runs and runs
it runs to fly and runs to hide
this heart is young but feels so old

It travels swift across land and sea
it roams and roams and roams and roams
and leaves behind a trace of hope
for strangers seen and strangers met

This burden is a heavy stone
it weighs and weighs and weighs and weighs
it brings a wall to come crashing down
from under the rubble a ruin is found

The Haste of Insanity

Can't you feel the fear
the holding of the hide
the idiot draws near
ready for the fight

He clenches his fists
and prepares for the fall
his mind enters the rifts
to where his loneliness is all

And in this hollow space
his mouth forms careful words
he whispers to this place
while his heart flies out like birds

The burning of the bridges
and falling of the skies
have torn me at the ridges
my soul is my demise

I'm torn between my madness
and all I have forgotten
my fears they bring a sadness
the sons I have begotten

my soul is the forsaken
shadow deep and smile amazed
the echo loud is far from shaken
the core depth of all erased

I tell my sanity to please make haste

Astronaut Pieces

There's no road to be travelled
when you're on last spent dimes
bent on shaking these shifting hours
you find you're lost in times

And these times are changing
faster than you can fill the cup
it has left you so unstable
you don't know which way is up

So you crumble slowly into pieces
fragile as a china vase
you are the last astronaut
lost and alone, scattered in space

Doodstilte

Ik bleek mijn zicht
pas het aan dat van jouw
zo zijn we samen levenloos
en zien we alles grauw

(Staal voor de huid)

Onze ogen zien in grijs
wit, zwart en alles rauw
geen mooie filter
geen lucht hemelsblauw

(Een blad verwijderd)

Onze ogen zijn leeg
en onze harten samen oud
en we voelen helemaal niets
maar dit alles laat ons koud

(Vertrekt zonder geluid)

Sun

The morning sun blossoms and breathes
a fire so wide past borders it seeps
with orange and red it conquers the land
gives life to the lifeless for hours on end

It burns bright with passion
for all that we fashion
and make for with haste
before we lay waste

It misses but nothing
except for the wanting
of human emotion
that needs no devotion

That cares for the careless
and weeps for the lost
no rest for the restless
for they pay the cost

Tell A Tale

Tell a tale,
tell a lie,
tell a story,
tell me mine

Along The Way

I look into your blue eyes
and see what you'd forget
if I'd walk out on you now
and let go of your hand

I'm still a stronger part of you
But I have to let this go
I am not alone this
As I am sure you know

My heart sure won't forget
but my mind knows no regret

This is what's been laid out for me
a path I must walk alone
Till I find what I am seeking
on this long and dusty road
I will keep on walking forward
letting go off your strong hold

Though I'm off to somewhere far
just know I will come back someday
Untill then you please be strong
and I will find you along the way

So forgive me if I leave you
standing in this life alone
Know I am always strong behind you
when your heart starts feeling cold
