When the sun rolls her eyes
A soft whisper reminds him
You’re home free once you lay inside

Barbed wires and lilac thieves
He's cloaked from head to toe
The Promised Land saws at his knees

Raising her head, she cries
Only not for stars or dreams
But to fill as though she is ten, not five

It’s the destination, not the journey they say
Preaching as though you don’t have soil to stay

Listening into the black and white picture screen
Ripples draped in red
They are not called she, he, only thing

Stripped of
Care
Consideration
Left less than animals

Tell me again why you believe this man covered in cloth
Is any less than the man who hides behind a rock
'A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war or violence. A refugee has a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. Most likely, they cannot return home or are afraid to do so.'

One of the toughest things I've ever done
Watch the person I truly love
Change from my soulmate, best friend, the one
To total stranger, how did you become
This distant mirage, cold and numb?
In blink of eye went from my sun
To pouring rain I cannot overcome
You were my someone, I was just your anyone
Now I'm the one looking dumb
A fool living under your thumb
Have your spirit written in rhyme
Truth hiding within every line
Describing a wild exciting time
I was yours and you were mine
It sure was a roller-coaster ride
Through flips and turns stayed by your side
Couldn't give the world but I swear that I tried
By giving my whole heart and letting you inside
By no means am i perfect, I became obsessed
Lies and betrayal made me a huge mess
Wrongdoings are hard to confess
Hare that I left, after I stressed
The fact we would always be best
Friends forever, forever lasted less
Time than we hoped, our clock is at rest
All good eventually end I guess.

HOOK:
I remember when I fell in love
Now we are falling apart
Gave me broken promises
I gave my bleeding heart
I never thought we would part
But this is the end, we can't restart.

Now there is a deep hole in my soul
Time floating on, taking its toll
Where is the piece I need to become whole?
I cannot breathe, yet I am smoking this bowl
My chest is heavy, lacking control,
Knees shake, does not feel right to console
The tears commanded, what is your goal?
Why do you say such warm words when you act so cold?
You have a lot of growing up to do
I will admit I have some too
Although it hurts to break you in two
For both our sakes, I am saying we are through.

(HOOK)

Hear a soundtrack in my head
In bed, songs of strong fear and dread
Killing all my confidence
Covering me with bruises, dents
Melodies cutting deep inside
Rearrange brain, then divide
Thoughts pulled from opened mind
Want to leave sorrow behind
Sing myself to sleep with a tune
Hopefully we feel better soon
If stars are out and you're feeling blue
Look at the moon, know this much is true
Wherever I am, under the same dark sky too
And part of me is thinking of you.
I love the movie eith the same title haha

Life is something we all share, Just like oxygen, in the air. The way we live it, is up to us, With a negative or with a plus.

Life is something, we should cherish, We never know, when we'll perish. Live each and every single day, Smell the flowers, stop and play.

Life is something, we've been blessed, Choice is yours, choose your quest. Follow your passions, and you'll be fine, With the right attitude, you will shine.

Your voice is like music
As precious as gold
And incredibly addictive

But sadly even the best music gets old.
