my tongue is tied in knots
it's you i think about
when i try to put myself to sleep
hand brushing the overflowing leaves of autumn
and heart racing like the wolves howling on a full moon
crawling inside my own skin
i thought i found my safe haven
until you swiftly brushed your lips on mine
making me fall
from what seemed like a mountain top
a skyscraper
into your arms
as down as it may be
i wouldn't mind the devil
watching us
close our eyes
as we melt into each other's skin
at last

some night i just stay up till 4 in the morning
i don't know why
but i like the sound of morning
i like it when the sun just starts to rise
and i like the smell of the ground
and when the very first rays of light
caress my eyes
that is when, i know
i can sleep quietly
beneath the sounds of the city
beneath this world
broken beyond repair

Hurt kills every inch of hope

here we are, facing our fears
here we are facing the crowd
hearing the laughs and sounds
trying not to cry
trying not to frown
here we are
after so much time
the lights shut down
time stands still
i could hear the sound of my heart beat
i could feel the sweat dripping down my neck
i could feel the shivers through the actors
and in the blink of an eye
it's all gone
goodbye fear
goodbye tears
hello to the people

see, i never thought i would do it
see, i never imagined a team like that
i never saw anything quite like this
strangers, maybe
never again
this, now will be of our best memories

and i would like to address a huge thank you
to a guide, a brother and a friend now
Julien
for getting us back down to earth as we were just laughing our way through it
as we were so rarely taking things seriously
for listening to our most insignificant stories
for guiding through this journey
for standing our complaints
for not getting a stroke (pun intended)
we thank you from the bottom of our hearts

it has been a great pleasure working and spending time with you guys
i will never look at you all in the same way ever again
and it's definitely in a good way

one last thing:
thank you

let me introduce you to my dearest friends,
addiction;
sweet serenity
pain and passion
desire and love,
depression;
sadness and melancholia
nostalgia
the weight of the world bringing you down
the thoughts about yourself
anxiety;
your fast heartbeats
your breathless minutes
the time you think it's over for you
when you close your eyes
you're ready to say goodbye
the feeling of never being good enough.
i have those vices, i have those problems
end up crying in the middle of the night,
hoping no one hears a sound.
trying to make everything better by believing
it would get better
giving myself hope
when there could be none.
i have died so many times
inside of my head
i have tried too many times
to get out of my head
but it never seems to work
now let me introduce you to my worst enemy;
time.
ticking by so fast,
taking every breath of mine
ticking too slow,
when pain knocks on my door
letting the nights of happy moments pass by
and the night of suffering endless
but a second is always a second,
and a minute a minute
and time will tic-toc
tic-toc
till you run out of heartbeats,
happy or not
but it's all in your head
when you take your moments too fast and too slow,
it's all in your head when time passes by so quickly
it's all in your head when you die before you do.

but is what's in your head real?
because reality doesn't exist
and nothing else does,
everything is how we create it and see it
nothing is too real to our eyes and nothing is too surreal.

i know i think too much,
maybe it's because i think too much
that i have so many vices
and fears
but to get rid of those,
you'd have to give up thinking,
would you?

i have always loved flowers
remind me of myself
a heart and a soul
a burning fire
and fades at night
sleeps below the gloomy fogs of springtime
i always loved sleeping in my garden
bottle of wine in hand
wishing someone would come and help
i've always loved sleeping in grass cause in a big world, i didn't belong
i always loved wine
because it made me say beautiful things
even things i wouldn't say
i always loved tulips as they shone into darkness
i always loved roses
because i touched their thorns to remind myself of pain
to remind myself i still take breaths

Tonight,
I'll pretend I'm drunk.
That way, they'll excuse my sadness.
Tonight I drown in regrets,
in my shower,
in the blood on my arms.
Tonight, I'll laugh hysterically
at all the pain
at everything that hurt me.
Tonight,
my skin won't ever feel the same
my lips won't ever taste the same.
Tonight all smiles will fade away
Blame? Shame? Fear? Pity?
No.
Surrender.
