do you ever miss home
do you ever miss the people chanting your name
do you ever miss hearing your name pronounced properly
do you ever miss this shade of red
do you ever miss home?

the city across the river is built

we're scant hydrophobic
watchers of a new end
anti-venom of love stories
flightless courageous birds

and after seasons
the river just won't dry

this is the song of the night
the unsung memories
a dynamic silence
forte towards the end

i got admitted to a place to learn a new language
i met saints and ancient evils along the way

have you ever felt like growing colorful?

today marks a year after this place got a new paint job

i got admitted to attain new colors again
and this paint job simply never ends

we all only love honesty
when the truth is pretty

here comes the part;
where i scream my flooded lungs out
gibberish that only makes sense to me
and clear words that you won't listen

and i pressed the mute button

you're never fond of complications
and i'm tired of being tangled
you're a believer of "silence is golden"
and i'm tired of being glittery

catch the remote controller
you're gonna like me someday

i'm hopelessly hopeful

i once dreamt of shooting your plane down
and woke up feeling everything right

your laugh begged me for forgiveness
and i struggled to mention that i was glad to have you gone

it's 5 in the morning
you were never the one who keeps me going
but ask me who on earth i turn my head left for,
and wake up next morning feeling everything right

it's 2 in the afternoon and i struggle to see photons bouncing from your lips

wearing light armor of bravery,
turning left was a decision i made
and maybe this war never meant too much
or it was never a war

but i swear i knew,
you were just hopeless enough

there is always something left after every long journey
maybe on a bus or a restaurant seat
or maybe at a place where you didn't even see me
and what's left was something you couldn't notice

there is always something lost after every  long journey
that makes the ride home anxious and strange
full of drunken bag-checks and rummagings
and what's lost was something I couldn't  get rid of

there's something that we lose after we leave our long journey
and it's not going to be at the lost-and-found

a lot changed since your seventeenth birthday
when you received a brighter smile as a present
after bearing a void for a couple of years

it was a rebound
you jumped back at life
brighter than you ever were

a lot changed since your seventeenth birthday
when you received a fix for your flaws
after being incomplete for a couple of years

but you were more divine
with your inch-long flaw
and i was so in love
with your humble divinity

tremble, tremble
love is a word stuck in my throat
and your name is sitting on top of my lungs

three and a half minutes are never enough
duration of frustrated screams
i can't believe you didn't know
about truth slipping between my lips

crumple, crumple
love is a word that's only written
and your name is the title of my journal

you're a faded moon
so deafen me with the chosen strangers
and cover the sound of you leaving
you finally remember how to land
after sailing polluted skies
full of light that covers the stars
lay me down, fade away
the sun will rise
and i'll burn again
as you grow translucent
i'll picture you finally caressing sunshine
and you'll never be the same
because the last time i knew you
you weren't a full moon

We once lived near a school, I swear to god I could still hear those little kids screaming excitedly. When you look outside the window you would ask me if I wanted to learn anything more, and I would say I learn new things every day just by looking at you. You would smile and say that you're nothing compared to the universe. You were always right, then you would ask again and again and I would answer the same.
What you never knew is that you're the answer for the blank spaces I always had. You never knew that no calculation would fill my head so well, and no map would make me feel so small like your eyes.
I don't know why you are still looking for answers, but whatever it is, I hope God listens to my prayers.

allow yourself to be silent
let your cries be unheard but to one
and maybe, if you believe
you'll find your peace

look me in the eyes
with your mouth covered
and tell me what i want to hear
through what you're listening to

i'm fully awake
not fully right
i'll look you in the eyes
all silent but screaming

"may nothing but death do us part"

time hits me like a full-moon wave
and went back just as fast
time hits you like a breeze
and caresses your skin
(i can perfectly see why
you don't get my fear of getting old)

sometimes i just want to catch a wave
and get closer to the moon
then bring back a reason why
i can't afford to lose you
