You Look Away

Your eyes so hollow

White as snow you stare away

Your goal is to follow

But keep my eyesight at bay

 

Your hands are soft as clouds

Gently sliding down the lake

Open my heart to your sounds

Keeping me outside the wake

 

Sunlight burns a hole in the ground

You are walking, you don’t come near

Maroon backgrounds excite the nerves

Seems to me like you have no fears

 

How can I find you when you are so distant

Who are you if I went inside your mind

How can I find you if you don’t know who I am

 

Tricolour landscapes

Turn around I want to show you

Secretly seeing

Everything you didn’t see before

 

Well how can I find you when I have no idea who you are

Your name speaks of sorrows you so expertly hide inside

Characters of future sins are yours to aspire

Don’t you want to come and talk to me?

 

Dark deep lunar settings is the place where we will meet

I want you to show me sweetly exactly where to place my feet

Step jump and a warm surrounding is what we will feel

Where have you been these past years finally I can heal

 

Long exposure

Soft enclosure

 

You turn your head toward me and I look away
