You always beat me
At every game we played
So when I broke your heart
It was only natural that
You'd shatter mine
Effortlessly

Checkmate

Disaster

Perhaps we weren't
Fated to much more
Than disaster
Anyway

Such a lovely trainwreck...

Autopilot

I don't want to stay
On autopilot anymore
I wanna go home with a
Bouquet of wild flowers
Cook your favorite meal
And dance with you to
A Chet Baker song on
Our balcony by the
Light of the stars

I want to be here with my body and soul

Last dance

I don't want
To be forgiven
I wanna walk to
That graveyard by
The black forest
Kiss Myrtha and
Dance with the
Willis until
I'm dead

Based on the ballet 'Giselle'... and in my current state of mind.

Superglue

After years of
Constant self-abuse
I've finally reached
My breaking point
And I don't think
Superglue will
Do this time

Congrats Peter, you've done it...

Cyanide

Not entirely sure
What's more toxic
You, me or cyanide

I guess I'll have a shot of cyanide, please...

Northern lights

Follow the North Star
Until you can reach
The northern lights
There we'll dance
With the spirits of old
And know that we
Found a place
To call home

I never had a chance to see the northern lights... what a sight they must be.
