***** hands
Working hands
Strong, loving hands
Joining together
Be gentle blue collar boy

What do those hands do?
Grabbing, holding, squeezing
Hold me tight
At the waist and around my neck
Shots to the face
Stains on the sheets
We leave our marks
On the back

Come closer lover boy
Get me *****
Mess with me
I'll clean you up
Give you a nice buzz, buzz cut

Something to remember me by

As we grow older
As we fall apart

How deep is the ocean
Mister fisher man?

All glitter and gold on top
Waves crowned royalty
And darkness below
Darkness
Without end

Your troubles
Washed off
Sink and forget
Look up from below
Look!
Watch the light break at the surface
Magnificent, one of a kind kinda sight

Seep it in
Let's go deeper
We'll drown togehter
Take it further
How romantic

Here I am weightless
Can't fall for you anymore
I can't hear you

At last there is silence
As you drift off
The world goes quiet

And one day I woke up
Smelling flowers again
In full blossom
A feint scent of almonds walking by
I can't help it
It makes me smile

Squashed sticky between my fingers
I hold hidden flavours
Wet grass and dirt beneath me
Lying down at the river banks
My favourites are alive again

Nostalgia served on a platter
A slight sting to the chest
Watching the light break and curl at the surface
Glittering gold shimmering
Water always finds it's ways

Don't get me wrong
I still feel empty
A hollow shell of a tree
That burned out long ago
Keeping up appearances

But as the sun goes down
The gentle spring night air
Speaks to me of summers warmth
Filling me, holding me up
Making my step a little lighter

I long for somebody
To love me
Soon
But for now
Today was a good day

Some people are just awful
Rotten to the core
Walking this earth in misery
They try their best to drag everyone around
Down with them

Come join me
In the mud
Pig
Let's wallow

Did you know?
There are entirely different worlds
Tucked in
The same time zone
Step from one to the next
I see you
Dancing between border lines
I call cultural shock
Time out

Did you know?
The sun rises and sets
Each day
And the next
No matter what you do
Or what happens to you
What a cruel and freeing fact

Did you know?
You didn't choose to be born into this world
This gooey mess
A moment in time experienced
But you have some control over it
While you're still up and moving

So might as well
Go all in, go out
Big
Experience what you can
And fly till you die
Find your freedom
Little dove

You ghost me

Yet I'm the one
Who's left behind

I'm the one feeling invisible
And empty
Inside

I'm the one who's haunted
By your memory

How fun
I'd curse you
If it'd make a difference

Speak up?
No!

Lips
Forming the words
Sounds embarking
From my mouth
They're going on a journey
Of their own
Independent

What's on your mind
Damsel
Do tell
Make yourself seen
And heard
Talk it out?

Never!
I'll swallow them down
Push it down deeper

I still have my pride
