A Lapse

Tomorrow, I took a sip of tomorrow
I don't remember any detail of the naughty night

Tomorrow, will get back on my track
Pretending all the reverie was just a lapse

Today, we smooch and say goodbye
Take care of wherever you're going

Today, I stare at your breath and listen to the time that flow through me 

I was fascinated by your stories
hallucinated by your scent
captivated by your charm
and enchanted

when you enunciated you'll stay here "maybe forever"
when you pour the liquor and wiped my tears
When you almost died for so many times I couldn't count
When you insisted to correct how I pronounce

A Lapse

Hey Mr. Quarter
for several days you haven't twittered
Guess you are too busy
to be annoyed by all that matter

Hey Mr. Quarter
you know how flowers wither
you know how sun beam captures
sorrow and grief of the universe

Hey Mr. Quarter
I'm gone in a few days 
I'm gone again in a few months
Gonna be back in a few years

Hey Mr. Quarter
I have a discreet sense of humor
it tells me we'll surely meet again
with regret with surprise and partner

Only children mourn for lovers
that could never be together
For the rest of us it's however
the only way to love each other forever

Only the ignorant mourn for detachment
Only the lunatic cry for separation
Only you and me and you and me
Bear in mind no longer say a word

Bear in mind and stay silent

Mr. Quarter

Going into the woods with you
You set out a tent to spend the night
Why don't you come in honey
It's such a good place to be in love
So we talked through the whole night

The mosquitos are not very friendly
Yet leaves keep them fascinated
Stars hide and seek till we are exhausted
Hands clutched on shoulders and weep

I tell lies so frequently that I could hardly recognize myself
You fool around so much till you forget how to love
I said it's creepy cold why don't we hug
You said I love you, like for real.

Somehow you make me sick
When I can no longer in disguise
You gently give me your coat
With a slight hyacinth smell
And I just cannot talk anymore

Into the Woods

It must be nice to disappear
to have a vanishing act
you hear people saying we lost him
floating in the sky

It must be nice to disappear
blue birds flying over your shoulder
and leave your body forever
on a sunday morning 

Did you see all the people crying
over your death
Did you hear all the people singing
when you have left
You wish you’d be forgotten
but you never would
You hope for a vanishing act
but you make the whole world mourn

It must be nice to disappear
watching everything passing through
tasting the whole world anew
touching the top of the mountains and slide

Did you see people crying
on a perfect day
Did you hear people singing
on the wild side
You’ll never be forgotten
even if you might wish
You crushed a world
and built a new one for them

First song written in Paris, Sep. 8, 2013

After Celine

Midnight we came back in a cab
Passed le pure cafe from before sunset
thought I'm here now, so i can finally watch that
after sunset when my lights blacked out and room so fresh

If it wasn't in the rush August
would we fight much would we come to Paris
Take a boat on Seine and avoid the birds
Buy parisian hats and tattoo flowers

After Celine, I knew I've had my life
crashed inward but outside still neotype
After Celine, we toured the ville on a bike
before sunset, lights already shine

Midnight we walk down the alley
and turned to another and another till we got lost
You asked why didn't I sing a song for you
I gave you the lousy lyrics said "school time"

After Celine, I've come to life
though I dreamed of you with a pregnant wife
After Celine, I sang it twice
Could you keep my piece of paper and hold on tight

Midnight we walk down the alley 
and turned to another and another till we got lost
You asked why didn't I sing a song for you
I already sang you too many times

After Celine

The awe inspiring moments happen less often
Dresses worn out waiting to be torn
Body fat percentage never really fall
Heart muscles numb and loosen

Where are you pumping now
Nerves and vessels asking how
You escape like you've fallen in love with
The solitude that always surrounds

We all know you too well
Your colors darkened like drowned in a well
Your beats less lively and dull

Stop the exiling journey, come back to me
Let me smooth your wrinkles
Nurse your skins

Where are you pumping now
Nerves and vessels asking how
You escape like you've fallen in love with
The solitude that always surrounds

Arm you with shotguns
Instill you blind courage
Till solitude can't fool you again
Coz your inside stories haven't died out

Solitude Cannot (Demo)

Ballad of a Couple

You walked into the room high heels peeling off your skin
With a broken smile at him and frowned

Headed straight by yourself not a word or shout
The bottle on the stove started screaming

Shall I take you back to where we once were
Torn off you shirt and struggled with the wound
Dancing in ashes and laughing to stop the bleeding

Winds from Siberia wiped your tears
Eyelashes swept my cheek
shattered and wretched we hug in the hut

Did I make you warm you asked
Did I make you sad you asked
You look weary and so silent
all those long long nights

You'll never live out of the torture
You'll never get out of my seizure
Looking over to years after
Our tomb with smiling pictures

I might have expected so
However love will go
Took over the heritage
I'll bury myself in fantasies

Ballad of a Couple

Everything is Everything(Demo)

We thought boys like blue, girls like red, maybe gays like green
Chinese are good at maths, americans are crazy
Africans are runners, argentinians are dancers
And Virgos are always obnoxious

We’ll summarize the commons and stereotype the unfamiliar
When we meet exceptions, expand the summaries
Napoleon likes unity, who doesn’t
Where abnormals could be justly judged

It's a habit of building new habits
It’s a repetition of progress
It’s a cliche to be different
It’s a ritual to try new things

We decide to make a change, or go another way, live in a new place, 
as things are settled, questioning the same 
We hang on, struggle and fight for
what? where is the end?

Welcome to this arena
We both sing aria
in C major or B minor
it doesn’t really matter we’ll sunk in water

you say look forward you’ll become a better man
Which way is forward, what do you mean by better? 
You thought the world is different but it’s actually the same
There’s no contradiction to everything

Everything is Everything(Demo)

Morning I opened the fridge, saw nothing left inside
Suppose I need to say goodbye to my wonderland
It’s just goodbye, just goodbye, just goodbye
Should be like the last time watching the sunset

Doors locked, everything is gone, the house’s a shrinking cage
tie me up and let me freeze in the back of rowdy stage
Life is a blackhole dressed up with fancy eternity
I kept on spinning, kept on spinning, spinning

How would you guard those your treasured things
How would you seize the time and love and sharing
Let’s dance and drink and forget
shout and cry and sink into remembering
Then straighten up your clothes and crack on with life and happy swirling

I cleaned the room and found a note from someone
I guess better stop exaggerate and focus more in front
You passing by all the love of your life and leave them behind coz you’re destined
to never looking back and never losing track
and never counting on
never know the end

Curtains

I ran to the curtains
sun shines on the mountains
you wake up

Looked familiar with the room
the bed, the piano
and me without make-up

We crouched in a velvet blanket
on the couch my cold feet squeezed
under yours

I didn't say I'm exhausted
I fell asleep while I was trying
to be excited, in your arms

If this ain't love, what would you feel for me?
Have you ever been in love, is it so much different?
If I stopped pretending that I don't care a word
If I'm brave enough to tell all its worth
If I just say I do
If I've never met you in that bright August

I kept my secrets and you never ask to uncover
call me Miss Mysterious

You wondered how many men per year
chasing after me, you assumed 10 at least

You seems to know nothing about kitchen
then I cook, I insisted, you were curious how to steam

Alcohol cannot kill my sense
yet your touching fingers
aroused yours not mine sensibility

If this ain't love, what should I have to explain?
What should you like and how should I behave to flatter?
If you could just keep to your impassive dignity
Do you know I felt like crumbled beneath that invincible air of indifference

From South China to north China, to Paris, Switzerland and all the way to Berlin.
