عايزه إيه جو أليه

Three beats remained in my heart,
three beats departed,
leaving only silence,
an emptiness within me.
Nothing consoles me
but my sorrow and the pain.
I walk towards you,
scattering fragments along the path.
Nothing remains of me,
perhaps a sound or a trace of my scent.
Gather me,
if you desire something incomplete
to walk life with you,
or leave me,
for life holds no meaning without you.

Lyrics by me

Three beats

Tired?
Perhaps I've reached beyond 
exhaustion,
where no description
exists in language.
I remove my glasses 
to avoid seeing faces,
to avoid scrutinizing details further.
Everything fades away,
the train in front, 
pillars of light, 
passersby, 
trees, buildings,
and I, 
with my shadow 
cast upon the ground.
Fear grips me,
stimulated by everything around,
steady, I don't run,
no arms awaiting me,
no chest to bury my tearful face,
I remain still, 
hoping all those suppressed feelings within
grow weary of me and depart.

Lyrics by me

Tired?

Life flees from me
like a runner in full stride,
while I’m left
with just enough strength
to wake in the morning,
to sleep in broken hours,
to speak in half-words,
to live a half-life.

Not enough
to chase a passion,
or revive a dying hope.

I run from everything—
curl inward
into myself and those I love,
and the pain only grows.

So go,
O life,
leave me be today…
I have no strength left for you.

Lyrics by me

Not enough

I step off the train,
Brushing off my scattered sorrows 
like dust from my coat.
I leave it to passersby to guide me,
Everything around me is dull, 
no light enters me.
My hand on my chest 
clings to my shirt,
As if a crack there torments me.
Step by step, I fall, 
then rise, then fall again...
Neither the road accepts me, 
nor does the sky clear for me.
I want to cry, but my eyes are dry,
Tears weep inside me, 
yearning for freedom.
Oh, how I wish I could.

Lyrics by me

I wish I could

It feels like I only go backwards baby,
Every part of me says go ahead,
I've got my hopes up again, oh no, not again.
It feels like we only go backwards, darlin'
I know that you think you've set sail when you call my name
But I get it inside my head all day
When I realize I'm just hopin' onto the hope that
Maybe, your feelings don't show
It feels like I only go backwards, baby,
Every part of me says go ahead,
I've got my hopes up again, oh no, not again
It feels like we only go backwards, darlin'
The seed of all this indecision isn't me, oh no
'Cause I decided long ago
But that's the way it seems to go,
When trying so hard to get to something real, it feels
It feels like I only go backwards, darlin',
Every part of me says go ahead,
I've got my hopes up again, oh no, not again
It feels like we only go backwards, darlin'
It feels like I only go backwards, baby,
Every part of me says go ahead,
I've got my hopes up again, oh no, not again
It feels like we only go backwards, darlin'
It feels like I only go backwards, baby,
Every part of me says go ahead,
I've got my hopes up again, oh no, not again
It feels like we only go backwards, darlin'
