Running after clouds as they rush by
But I don't turn back
They are now waterfalls
When I try to look beyond the horizon
I am meeting with an endless ocean of thoughts
Scared of delving deep
Don’t want to lose my sight
People wave and call me
I don’t have any time to halting
Shoes are gone my feet are bare
Feel the broken asphalt biting
But now it's more like a comfort

When I
Stop

I can hear my heart
Beating so loud
Pulse in my throat is jumping

When I started running
Blisters were forming on toes
Hands scrapped cause I kept on falling
Wasn’t use to doing things on my own
Behind everyone’s bikes
But now I am ahead of them

When I breath
A deep breath

One
Two
Three

Out

One
Two
Three

In

One
Two
Three

Go

Look onward
Don’t stop running
When you are amazed
Keep running alongside these clouds
And maybe you’ll catch one in your hands
Don’t stop and take a breath cause only one road
It's getting destroyed so stay on the path don’t fall down

Every day there was puddles and thunder
And you fell down a hole once in a while
Broke your arm
Scrapped your legs
Missing shoes
Bleeding knees
Scratched face
Fragile wrists
Dry mouth
Shaking limbs
Vibrant eyes

What else is there for me?
Do I run and try to be free?
Why was I running in the first place?
I don’t remember I think?
Or was that the whole plan?

But clouds keep on calling me
So I listen and ignore my soul
The world is turning
And I feel the motion underneath my feet as I move

Until I suddenly stop
There's no more path
I am panting though
At the edge of a cliff
Feet half on
The Ledge
Hanging

Do I jump, knowing there's no way back to myself?

Some days I wonder
Other days I slumber
All the days that I dream of
Fade away

And as I go to sleep I try very hard
To count the sheep but they keep moving on
And I run after them but they end up flying
Like cherry blossoms during the summer

I tried very hard to be a good person
But the butterflies flutter around me
They are afraid that it'll hurt them
That I will destroy them
But all I wanted was to feel an embrace

I don't understand why the flowers wilt away
Or why the apples turn brown and wrinkly
But I know

Is that the season come and go
And the times passes me by
All I want to go is sleep here with you
And forget the death that surrounds us on all sides
All I want to do is be here beside you

But life is creeping up and snatching us further apart

Flowers they flutter and shrink

I want to remind you of broken prayers
That we can always leave this world behind
But then we will have less time
So we will let time control us
I don't want to leave this world behind

All the colors they shine so brightly
And they fill my vision with a vibrancy I didn't see before

All I wanted was to live forever
But we all know that's impossible

And the world keeps changing colors from green to brown
The morning dew freezes up and shatters
Due to time

And the world will fall apart
I will have you in my arms
I know the pain's too much
Don't forget me

The pain will never fade
It will live inside our brains
We try to escape its grasp
But we're firmly in its clasp

But this is our purpose
All in due time

In The Name of Life

Life will shatter and grow from the burnt ground again

All the memories they grow like trees after snow
But they will never stop
When a person's heart stops beating
I will make sure that their soul lives inside you
So that you don't wilt away like the daisies of yesterday
I don't want to lose your friend
Your the only thing I have

I realize its all dream
We're you ever really there
Or was it a figment of my imagination
Trying to comfort me from

The Name of Life

Pain surrounds me
Like meadows of daisies
They are white and so pure
Against the burning

And I'll close my eyes

Take a train to Mars
Want to escape all earth’s traffic
Bumpy rides are just the best
When there’s only yourself complaining.

Taking a detour to Saturn
So the gases can lull me to sleep
All night no one sees me dreaming
Turning to the motion of these rings.

Boat ride to Venus
Want to feel my skin melt off
From the carcass, a new me emerges
And tans from the beams of light.

Heading over to Mercury
To actually see the sun
Without all the rocks in the way
Now I feel more alive.

Flew myself to Pluto
To share the excitement of my life
No one answered my knocking
Maybe they also fled this sight.

Bike ride to Uranus
Wasn’t that far away
But everyone is too distant
Big heads, acting kinda insane.

I booked it over to Jupiter
But everything just felt too big
Spent most of my time looking
At the neighbors spinning by.

Vacation in Neptune
Wanted to get ready to head back
Chill-off from self-inflicted pain
Applying ice to my travel wounds.

Walked myself back to Earth
Head held high but still a hitchhiker
But no one picks me up
Wonder if they know what I been through.

Hey, it's been a long *** day
Wondering if you're okay
Feeling fuzzy in my brain

Hey, I know I said some things
That made you wanna walk away
Pick up, I got a lot to say

Seems our minds are made up
No one dares to speak

Recalling the moments
We dare leave behind

Remember how we embraced
No matter what we said

We dared to believe
In a moment of respite

Traces of lost bliss
Belonging to another life

Hesitantly moving on
Memories cherished- lost

Curtains fall on us
Wanderers- moving on

Words are eluding me
I can't help but whimper.

Whisper words to household saints
Hands pressed, lips closed
We couldn't share them
The words that we couldn't say

Hiding in corners, shadows evade
Sitting on the shelf praying today
Tear and break them
The words that we couldn't say

Games played, in the darkness
Fools we both were that day
Confess it's too late
The words that we couldn't say

Mistakes littering the tile floor
Glittering shards that impale us
Time to end this
The words I just have said

Do you dream of yourself crying?
Does your heartache for more?
Even as I am weeping silently
I can't help but yearn.

I am still silently crying
Reaching out blindly for more
Laughter cannot cure my sadness
I can't help but yearn.

Though I may not be crying
That doesn't mean I want nothing
Chest constricting inside me
I can't help but yearn.

Hanging 'round your place
Days keep passing.
Sitting here for weeks
But don't worry.

Wanted some closure
Where are you going?

Hope you'll come back
Yearning for you.
Please, just stop and listen
Before the sun sets.

Needed some closure
Where are you going?

Can't you see I'm hurting
Just make me happy.
You don't care about me
Waiting here for you.

Give me some closure
Where are you going?

yo no más te quería
yo no te queria dejar

yo no te metia
las palabras en tu bocas

para mi tu eres
un milagro
una belleza

para mi tus abrazos
muy fuertes
fortalezen

para mi tus labios
me dormian
tranquiliza

yo no mas te queria
para una enternidad

I want you to live happily
Free to talk and play
Dappy and so charming
I am not by your side
I giving you something more
Childhood you deserve
