Take
        Me
             Somewhere
                        Where
                                    Everybody
                                 Is
                               A
               Stranger
       And
Even
         If
           We
                Act
                     Like
                           Lovers
                                       Nobody
                           Would
                     See
                 Us

I'm happy today
when i close my eyes
I'm surrounded by darkness
but i'm happy despite that

I'm happy today
when i touch my skin
I can feel the presence of scars
but i'm happy that they aren't hidden

I'm happy today
I can look up at the weeping skies
but i can find happiness in the raindrops
as they fall down through my hair

I'm happy today
as i look down on the Earth
there are some unturned stones beneath my feet
but i'm paused for this moment

I'm happy today
as I think about the star that i cherish
it seems far away
but i'm happy that i can see it and i'll reach there one day

I'm happy today
Even if it gets painful
I'll be happy like I'm happy today
I'm happy that I'm happy again

I'm different
Whatever I do,
Whatever I say,
Whatever I think,
It's different.
I'm not the sun, I'm not the moon,
I'm not the reflection in the lake.
I'm not the stem, I'm not the root,
I'm not the flower it bores with fate.
I'm different from the sky,
I'm different from the ground,
I'm different from the silence and
I'm different from the loud.
I'm different
In my works,
In my words,
In my actions,
It's all different.

you are the pleasure
and I am addicted
to your unrealistic presence
and so I'm not asleep

it's your melody
in the deep silence of night
that i get dragged to
but i can't find you

it's like a garden i wander in
you're like a scent i can't recognize
there are flowers I've seen before
but i can only feel you here

you're far away, it feels
but it feels you're near
it's a pain that i will never find you
but it's a pleasure that you're in my heart.

I'm on this island,
miles of water in front of me,
but i see no way i can ease my thirst.
I see stones,
some of them are just lying there.
Some are waiting to be able to be drawn away with the wind.
This place with no creatures needs me.
I, with an empty heart need this deserted island.
I can see the moon's reflection in the water
but i can't feel it's presence in the sky.
The stars seem to be finding their own reflection in the water.
It seems like the air is telling lies
in my ears as it moves away.
but still i get carried away thinking about the truths i could find in the lies.
but it's just because i want to be here.
I want to drink the water in front of me.
I want to live here,
On this deserted island.

— The End —
