Now
Blinded by the seconds we invented
To measure time
Killing spirits is all we do
In the world that does not exist
Anywhere but in our thoughts

Are we dependent of the past
That never happened?
Are we afraid of a future
One of many that could be?
Helping ourselves
Through time of change
Change we cannot embrace
Change we cannot feel
And yet it happens
With or without our consent

Time is change
Life is ever changing
For better we hope
And fear for the worse
Why the fear
Why do we cry
Over things that doesn’t exist yet

We feel weak when faced with time
We feel weak when faced with ourselves
We can say hello in 100 languages
But could not speak to our soul
To look inside is an imperative
To reach outside is a must

To inhale the imagination
Of a child that has no fear
Is what can help us
Free ourselves
Of the burden that has no name
Nor face and yet has slowed us down

We fight each day again and again
Against our demons with no power
And it seems to us as though we lose the battle and the war
And all we have to do is look inside
And free our mind of the ignorance that holds us in prison
And makes us blind of the kindness
that this world was built upon

Kiss now cause the future is too far away
Love now cause the past will wash away
sooner than tomorrow
Live…Now!

I never asked to be 
Your one and only
I never asked
For more than the
Time we shared
And all you did 
Is lie to me
And promised
Things that were never there

How long
Should one pretend
That the thing we have
Is at the end
How long 
Should one not see
There is no more
Of you and me

My heart is dumb
To your empty words
My ears are deaf
To the lies you say
My eyes are blind
To the things you do
I tried so hard
But it's the only way

When you have someone
Under your skin
It's never easy to let go
Never easy to get out
Of the inner circle 
Of such power

I see myself 
In the mirror 
At last my image 
Doesn't fade away
With you behind
My lonely past
Doesn't seem 
To be unfair

Hey John
You say that’s not your name
I don’t mind
It’s your choice
But is this the only thing you hide
  
Hey John
I like your soul
At least the part I see
But eyes can cheat
Learned that the hard way
Hope this time to be right
At least let’s pretend for the night

The book of pain
Will hold me not
For true love
We should never stop
In the rain or snow
During day or night
For true love
We should find a way

Hey John
Take my hand
let us fly
Let's pretend
Not to have
Anything to hide

The book of pain
Will hold me not
For true love
We should never stop
In the rain or snow
During day or night
For true love
We should find a way

Hey John
I like your smile
and the stories
you like to tell
I hope to see you
once again
But let's pretend
For the night
Not to have
Anything to hide

What am I
When our lips are miles apart
And the words
you whisper
Are not for me
What am I
When you run your fingers
Through the hair
Of an unknown beauty
One of many
What am I
When you give me wings
To fly away
but cut them off
As you please
What am I
When your eyes are blind
To the pain you cause
When you call me love
What am I
My love
What am I to you

The walls of stones
Between our souls
And the river
Made of salty tears
Make me safe on this side
At least that is how I feel

The walls are strong
And that is good
To fight this battle
Is not worth

Our time is all we have
And still it's all we give away
For a penny or a cent
For a word or just a scent
Of something that was never ours
And as the sweet lie comes along
for a moment makes us strong
For a moment makes us feel
Real love on our skin

But the moment is like the stone
As soon as the sun is gone
It gets colder than the night
In winter time 
How love could be so cruel
How we could get so weak
And forget our only friend
We have in life

Our life is our time
Your life is yours not mine
And all I have to give 
Is this love I have in me
And the sweet lie has an end
As I do my dear friend
And there we are alike
Though my time was not that long
What I felt was never wrong
And it hurt like salt on open wound
But the pain was not that bad
Comparing to what you've said
Having softness of your touch
Melt my soul to death

In the middle of the night
Night night 
A rainbow
In the absence of the light
Light light 
The moon

In the spirit of the past
Past past
A story
Among the things that are fast
Fast fast
The time

It was funny how it came
Came came
Alive
The echo in my heart
Heart heart
That night

In the darkness I could see
See see
A reflection of the other Me
