Bernardo Soares Apr 2020
From 150000 coming in at Heathrow every week
The Tube
From me and you
There aren't millions dead but a few
In line with what already knew
Government lies
Media lies
We know but we don't care
We walk blindly into darkness
Even when we know it's there.
Wake up
Bernardo Soares Aug 2016
AOK
Do you have more past than future?
Count the cost using receipts for the friends you tried to buy
In like a lion…..out like an empty sail on a ship in a bottle just above the surface of the blue glass sea
A loan now to buy the moonlight is all I need but don't shine on me, or me, don't shine on me
Doctor the report. Makes yes' no's and no's yes' and let's pretend in the end it's AOK
Time was on your side but that was yesterday
I’m thirsty and tired and wired and worn.
Shake me
The dust drops
I'm unemployable
Unmistakable
Unthinkable
Undeniable
Untenable
And often incredible
But impossibly unlovable
I don’t have the patience to wait for this world to turn I want off
Gonna watch what happens for a while from a mile high
Sick of doubt and misplaced anger leading me alone through danger
Watching weighing possibilities to where could I fit in with ease?
Nowhere seems as good as any, a room for me to sing to many
Or somewhere new where I could go, a place for me to lay low
Either way those faces fit and that’s why I must escape it.
Practising lines from time to time behind a midnight moon
And waking up on ****** sheets inside a darkened room.
Shelves hold books I've never read
Wade through air and bite to breathe
The legs I see, not sure they belong to me
Hands wave.
Things don't fill
They empty
They're put in hands that wave
Carried by legs that aren't mine
Just because
Bernardo Soares Jun 2015
What's the point of living if not to have lived in others what you’ve learned

Be bad

Be good

But tell us lest we know.

Reactionary

Under R in the dictionary

The words are there

Braille

Feeling it

Not hearing it

Seeing it

Is believing it.

You mustn't forget to stop breathing

Waking up is easy

Roll the dice take your turn

Silence is talking.

Change into something

Something you know nothing of

Turn up on time

Blackout.

The singularity can never be

What with Yin and Yang and you and me

On and off

In and out

Up and down

And so it goes.......

Look

Look what we've done

The mess I made you're still making

The tears shed still breaking

Waves

And Falling from every pedestal you got on

So....

Get up
Bernardo Soares Feb 2015
Because you’ll fall in love with me
And I’ll fall in love with you
And it’s dangerous
And it’s beautiful
And your “friends” will resent you
And me
And my “friends” will resent me
And you
Then it’s just us
All the time
Look what we’ve done
Look what we do
Isolated
Just me and you.
Then we argue and make up
One day we argue and break up
Look what we’ve done
Look what we do
Happy alone
With the drugs we use.
Bernardo Soares Feb 2015
What you worryin’ about and why’d you worry?
Why’d you care and what’s the hurry?
For all we know of our existence our saving grace remains our distance.

Calling out to the small, calling out to one and all, “Leaves that fall and leaves that fly, leaves that smile but always die and names we call as bridges fall were never meant to fall at all.”

If ever I was in a room with no-one else but you
The space around would tell the tale of red not blue
I peel away the chances that I had that brought me fear and wonder what on earth I would do if u weren't here
I love you in the morning and the days when you’re not there
I love you in the night the darkness makes me unaware of all the days that we have missed, days are so unfair
If I must die alone I die wishing u were here.

I load my gun with pink bullets in the hope that I can spread,
The kind of love I see and feel as I dream in my bed.
I'll pick you off one by one in the hope you're not dead but if you are then i'm sorry that you bled
I blow the smoke and I reload as i start to see,
I hope I kept just one pink bullet for me.
I load the bullet, **** the hammer and start to snigger, the bullet bounces off me when I pull the trigger.

In the night I played the cicerone,
The guide to all things sad
When morning breaks I'm still awake and crave the skin I've had.
Drinking now and not allowed to shake upon my feet
I drown every part of me until again we meet.

Sleep is not the answer if my dreams are not of you.
I'd rather lie awake to think and starve if you were food.
Darkness doesn't help cos you’re the light that shines through
The light that moves on every single thing I do.
Red sky in the night and in the morning blue like eyes.
If you are the truth then I'm sick of telling lies.
I don't like what it does but I like some things it buys.
If you were money I’d be the richest man alive.
Bernardo Soares Feb 2015
Different places seem the same
And once your down you can't quite explain it, like a fading dream
You're in and then out to preach
To muddle through an imperial speech
Walk unashamed
You play the game
Until the castles breeched
Soldiering on through the blind war with all weather shades and a score to settle.
The air tastes funny yet I ain't laughing
Incensed
What shakes you, resonance
What makes you, persistence
Rainbows but not a drop of rain there she goes again and again
Case it and flash a zippo at your homework inscribed with S.T.U
Time and again the disposable friends recycle themselves degrade
You shook me all night long and as I begin to shake back
Your dust drops
I'm unemployable
Unmistakable
Unthinkable
Undeniable
Untenable
And often incredible
But impossibly unlovable
Love
For no other reason
Like a movement
By the hand
Of a spectacular
Like you did
Cos you could
And you meant it.
Stay away it's just a game we play
Holding you to ransom trying to take a swipe
At fame.
Heavy heads drag heavy legs slowly scraping by
Propped up by the magical
The illusive
Dollar sign.
******* I knew it something's very very wrong.
No matter what we cannot simply play along.
Changing shape from place to place
On the edge of something real
Slowly realising you're running on a wheel.
Bernardo Soares Feb 2015
Make each other lonely by being there
Make each other scared with words
Make each other care because we do and feel free like we should
Hang off of stars but in different ways
Shorten the nights and lengthen the days
Follow the road to somewhere and sooner or later we'll get there.
