"i am weak, i am lost, beyond my dreams
and i am, i am in love

every time that you say i am yours
every time you lay me down

deeper, deeper, we're falling
we're falling in

i am in love"

Lyrics by Wildsilences

in love

i wanted to mimic rain by the guitar echoes. this is an improv version of an old song i wrote when i just started out writing music. this song is a fave of mine...

"hey Mr Blues, can you find your home
once i stumbled upon you
no, i won't fall again
into your arms wide open for me
this time i won't stumble
this time you will see
i will be okay"

Lyrics by Wildsilences

hey Mr Blues

"ek is net gebreekte snare
ek is niks in jou oë
ek is meer as wat jy dink ek is
as jy sê, 'verander'
ek is 'n skulp sonder siel
ek is 
ek is niks 
ek is"

Translation:

"i am just broken strings
i am nothing in your eyes
i am more than what you think i am
when you say, 'change'
i am a shell without soul
i am
i am nothing
i am"

Lyrics by Wildsilences

ek is

wrote this song for a friend of mine...

"you say, i'm oh so tired
you say, i'm worn out
i've been alone
you make the world laugh
you pretend everything's okay
but you won't tell them
you won't tell them your name
you won't tell them
you won't tell them your real name

here where the darkness is darker
here where the light is oh so bright
here where everything should be simple
but the noise is only, only in your head

you know, someday someone will find you
and sing along
to that song in your head

here the darkness is darker
here the light is oh so bright
here where everything should be simple
but it's not
and the noise is only in
only in your head"

Lyrics by Wildsilences

disguise

"follow her down into the cloaked shadows
maybe you'll hear her sing, hear her, whisper her name to
glued to the sky, make your way down
listen to the wind, maybe you will find your 
heart among the stones
heartbeats like fireflies, 
she gathers them all
voices
to drown out the silence 
too many stories
too many memories
she will be waiting in the dark"

Lyrics by Wildsilences

she will be waiting in the dark

"the ghost's in the mirror
and we're in the dark
spirits of high and low
i can't get out
we are in the days folding
i can't get out
naked words
can you hear me
we are the ghosts inside
lullaby
let me sleep"

Lyrics by Wildsilences

silent lullaby (the ghosts inside)

one of the first songs i ever wrote...

"i slam my guitar against the wall
i strum with bleeding fingers
i let the song bleed on to the carpet
staining the silence between me and you
the one you never notice
the one i breathe in and out and in and
i leave the broken lovesong on the floor
i walk away and close the door"

Lyrics by Wildsilences

red room

"i was wrong to think that you loved me
holding on to words that don't explain how i feel
i was wrong to think that you cared
i knew everything there was to know about you
but you didn't even know why i cry
so i walk away and leave you 
even though my heart is breaking as i do
everything i feel is just part of this endless nothingness
that i feel now you're gone
that i feel now i've left you behind
that i feel now i've gone
that i feel now you've left me
all of me
and i used to say you were part of me
used to love everything you did
now it's different, now everything's changed
now there's this hollowness inside
where love used to be
now there's this silence inside
where we used to be
and i'd give up everything for you, once

when the night is dark
i miss your arms around me
i miss your heart
i miss the way i knew every breath
i miss dreamwalking with you"

Lyrics by Wildsilences

Dreamwalking

"a thousand dreams are out of time
a thousand times that i tried
all the words that can't explain 
what i meant when i said
i don't want to be friends
and now that you're gone
a thousand daydreams on the line
a thousand times i wish i tried
and oh it's just too simple
and oh it's just too complicated
footprints in the sand
seashells in my blistered hands

i get home in the rain
it's dark and i'm lost in my own thoughts
wish i could see you once more
but you're standing there

i don't have to explain
i don't have to let go again
i don't have to feel
i don't have to miss you"

Lyrics by Wildsilences

don't have to (standing in the rain Version)

"the way you make me feel.
searched for days
left no soul unturned.
i lost you in the dark
in the dark.
we searched for your ghost
lost, in the dusk
like a shadow
cloaked in the unseen
we searched for you
among the stones, among the night
you are lost to me
lost, never to be.
promised you would never leave.
tunnels of shadows
take me in
i'm falling for you
you should've been the one to fall
lips against my skin
stay with me.
you're like the sky
you're like the night.
broken dreams."

Lyrics by Wildsilences

broken dreams

"the house is so dark without you 
change me
i was certain
there are things alive in here
vampire, change me
black as the night
red as the line you draw
grey as the cries of the fallen
change me
it's not what i expected
i feel so cold
don't leave me alone in here
it's cold, it's dark
and i'm afraid
don't leave me alone in here
i'm still alive"

Lyrics by Wildsilences

coffin to coffin, dark to dark

"jy laat my weer verlang
na lang nagte en donker wat nooit kom
van gesels in die vroeë oggend ure
die verstaan as die see praat
ek probeer lees die stiltes,
maar ek's blind
ek probeer hoor die gefluister,
maar ek is doof
so ek sit alleen hier
in die boks van donker stiltes"

Translation: why are you so afraid

"you make me miss those long nights
and the darkness that never comes
conversations in the early hours of the morning
understanding when the sea speaks
i try to read the silences
but i'm blind
i try to hear the whispers
but i am deaf
so i sit alone here in the box
of dark silences"

Lyrics by Wildsilences

hoekom is jy so bang

inspired by vampire and werewolf movies. 

"so wanted to change
wanted to change
but i found it too hard
i wanted to change
but i couldn't breathe
in that space
felt like i was sinking
and i'm afraid of losing
afraid of losing myself
i only wanted to see...
but i couldn't change,
become a monster like you"

Lyrics by Wildsilences

"this road is too long without you
nothing changes
broken and tangled and oh i wish
footprints and petals and oh i wish
flowers bloom through bones and
i wish i was
keep me in your butterfly jar
in the dark i shine my light
maybe you'll find your way home
home to me
the road is too long
barefoot on stones
feels like i'm walking through fire
let me be your blossoms in your
skeleton and bones
let me be your firefly
guiding you home to me"
