the storm has passed
don't you know?
the rain has ceased
the floods recede
the sun is out
and the winds are calm
although the calamity
struck at the hearts of thousands
lives lost and houses crushed
families scarred and torn apart
the people will always rise
together as one
for this spirit of ours
cannot be broken
by man or by nature
because the heavens are by our side
and that's enough to keep fighting
for a brighter tomorrow

set a course for the desires of your soul
raise the sails to catch the winds of hope
into the sea of darkness and doubt
we'll tread these waters to find
what lies beyond the other side
because over the bright horizon lies
a treasure men have only seen in dreams
and those who have set sail
to this otherworldly island
have ever returned
no letters, words
not even a ghost
so let us leave this port
your dreadful past
and prepare yourself for the voyage
which is anything but easy
for this is a quest for redemption
to the island of your future

I'm weak
I give in easily
to your sweet words
like honey to my ears
that goes straight to my soul
but your pillow talk
and sweet nothings
were exactly what they were
nothing
so I drown myself
in the bitter truth
which makes me fall deeper
until I suffocate
and feel nothing
but then a hand reaches out
a ray of light beaming down
so I rush only to find
an arm that extends
to your sweet lies
and bitter truths
and you know
what makes it so hard?
because I'd hold on to you still
because I'm weak

all alone on rooftop edges
with nothing else but the company
of a bottle of whiskey
sitting right beside me
hoping one of us knocks
the other one over
but either way its the same
if one of us falls
because the one who stays
will be left half empty

she forgot what made her happy
so she looked for it
only to find heartbreak in the end
as she watched her happiness
fall in the arms of someone else
because little did she know
her happiness was right beside her
pulling her away from all the places
she shouldn't be in
and now she's lost
with her heart somewhere else

I am the observer
I am the eyes in the shadow
I am the warmth in the light
I am a seeker of truth
and a patron of lies
I see the world
from the eyes of many
in peace and discord
in order and chaos
I hold the power
to enforce equilibrium
but I am only an observer
I can only watch how it will all end
in desolation and ruin
or perhaps in perfect harmony
but this is my curse
because I gave up all my power to change this world
for a chance to be the observer

I still have mementoes of you in my room
your books, some clothes, pictures, and other little stuff
and one day they're gonna be just what they are:
things

darling,
what did you do?
you threw away everything
for another kiss or two
you threw away our love
for something that isn't true
so darling, I'm leaving
there's nothing you can do
you can pull me and kiss me
tell me you still love me
you can tell me that you'll change
but I just can't wait to be free
so darling adieu
and no, we can't be friends
you belong in the past
for our future has come to an abrupt end

I like to run
because it clears my head
of all the unwanted thoughts, memories,
and everything else that you left me
but somehow it seems
all this time I thought
I thought I was getting away
I've just been running around in circles
