Nienke Mar 2014
(Lyrics, written for the Irian band Red Tape Reflection)

*black is the smoke
we've blown into the air
it fades out
like the persons
around me

this is the last time of
torture and pain
strong we will stand
in life and in dreams

come closer
to feel
this heart isn’t so real
we’re born to be alone

acceptance

this is the last time of
torture and pain
strong we will stand
in life and in dreams

bleed to be born
be born to bleed

it stops
where people screamed
right into the faces

right into the faces
of stronger men

one day you’ll lick all these tears away
wash them off my face and taste the salt water
you’ll get to know the pain of my heart, bled dry
Nienke Mar 2014
how can i eat? how can i think?
how can i listen? how can’t i sink?

how can i see? or even share a bed
with nothing but you in my head?

how can i control? how can i sleep?
without you here.. how can’t i weep?

i don’t want you to fly away
addicted to your flapping wings
which hurt me
deep

but i will, i can
wait to catch you
and finally
keep
Nienke Mar 2014
i see stars
and far away
one’s shining bright
you

blinded means hell
but nobody can tell
how i feel when
you

can’t reach
can’t touch
just a little bit
too far to know

but i believe, i do
this is fully alive
recorded and true

the dream about you
Nienke Mar 2014
i don’t know where i’m coming from
and I don’t know where i stand
i’m not the one to play games with
even though people think i am

i could be the one who keeps the controller
and lead us to, open or closed, an end
wild and dark and cold as i might be
still not the right one, still not free

wild and dark and cold like the wind at sea
even when the sun shines, i’m still not free
there’s something bothering me on the inside
and i don’t know if it’s normal, i don’t know right

i just feel a little different from the bottom
and i’m wondering, i’m wondering all the time
i wish i could say my brain is one illusion
i wish i could say what i feel isn't real

but then i would lie, like all those liars
those who nothing but the nothing, feel

now and then **** makes me worried
but **** also tells me to calm down
i figured out everyone’s just a zombie
for each other, a zombie or a clown
Nienke Mar 2014
didn't know each other
very well

source of love
happy through hell

what the ****
was your problem
our problem

was it me
against your mind

was it the fakeness
you couldn't hide

discovered today
the aching pain

to think
you used your brain

but i, not too smart
i used my stupid heart

to believe in my dreams
come alive and please

but i forgot, not everyone
is ready to believe
in dreams
Nienke Mar 2014
the stars i’m watching in our sky
now i see them very bright
the moon who follows, and follows
now she shares her most sensual light
the sun shines, on Earth’s coldest places
now she gives me warmth
like never before
