Silent night
Unholy night
Cold, alone and filled with fright
Hands are shaking, sigaret in hand
Recalling better times if they can
Noone knows who they are
Noone knows who they are

Heaven above
Streetlamps for stove
Flickering lights in search of love
Eyes that have seen things you won't understand
Hearts so heavy they needed a hand
Knew they'd never get far
Knew they'd never get far

Ghosts all around
In this ghost town
A different silence filled with sound
Some days they see a smile sent their way
In endless night that is their dawn of day
Their eyes shine bright like the stars
Their eyes shine bright like the stars

The years faded and so did she

After the flowers had all withered,
The ribbons bleached and frayed,
Our faults, lost and forgiven,
The cost both felt and paid.

As sidewalks cracked and crumbled,
Your palm print turned to dust,
Only memories left to miss us,
No beauty in which to trust.

Maybe I’m the last pretender,
The only flower on his grave,
The lone stubborn reminder,
Of a world you couldn’t save.

We are so far from what was,
With no ending yet in sight,
Just take that as a blessing,
It’s all I have to give tonight.

Moments of clarity through pain, suffering.
Endless yearn for beauty yet it passes,
as it possesses, caresses, dissipates, clears.
Moments of endless thoughts of these moments,
of these moments of clear  blue skies.

Never forget them.

You must cherish, flourish, nurture.
Crushing waves of agony clears right up as you see the stars...
And skies...

And yourself reflected through the universe,
reflecting its beauty through eyes like merits
of eternal stardust reminding you that while your life is fleeting,
moments are forever.

Sleep. It seems like I've missed it this time around.
Shame. Cheating on your dreams with reality.
I'm tired and at work.
Terra Sep 2015
In deep night I howl at the moon. Lonely I reach for understanding,
but it's always too fast, and too loud and too soon.
It might be too much, what I'm demanding.

Drowned cities beyond grass and trees are of no importance when strings are cut.
Stranger upon stranger becomes lover upon lover,
all with square eyes and hungry heart.

We feed like beasts on what feeling we can find when living in the truth of others.
And we wash of blood like common dirt yet we fear all dirt from our mother.

Faceless enemies all around,
with painted smiles and powers.
Oh how we corrupt ourselves chasing the taste of true flesh,
Chasing  bones between towers.

Not ever to feed on newborn thoughts,
our own world frightens us.
But howl at the moon, if just for one night, and feel, natures child,  what is right!

Filth and dirt and moon and trees, *** and love and ******!
You look for it all in screens of lies and you eat up each word without care.

Like all common men, you eat **** like it's steak,
for our nameless enemy created false dreams.

And the nameless is us, yet powerless still,
alone I stand strong, together you stand still.

To ask for more is common man's sin,
but to seek in new spaces is treason to your kin.

Alienated souls are dumped and lost,
questions fade by each year.
And what life do you live, puppets at will,
seeking bigger lies to cover your fears.

This world has become black and white with illustrations in clear color

Side by side we dear only protest in silent agony,
for statistics to see and noone else to notice

I cleared my senses so long ago,
discovered shades of gray

Soon blurred lines became crossed lines in a flash of lonesome honesty

In a simple world with simple values I have chosen to be loud
