this is soooo sweet ;-; soooo relaxing im in love with this... <3

I met girl in bus just with this beautiful song. She is samely perfect, like this lyrics. Thank you, matt

Great composition. You create a lot of space

schöpfer,-herr-der-zeit

The lyrics is belong to Kurdish poet  Hemen mokoriane 


￼ The nightingale with broken wings at the time of my bloom,
Only sends sighs into the hollow of my heart’s tomb.

I’m a Kurdish captive of Newroz dawn,
My soul is chained, in silent fire drawn.

A sparkless ember on Yalda’s night,
Awaiting a fate lost to the light.

The voiceless dove of a spring undone,
A colorless flower in the weeping sun.

In the corner of a barren, silent fest,
I’m a black-cloaked beauty at her best.

The vanished hand of my proud tribe’s grace,
The bitter scent of a love I chase.

At the grave of a forgotten martyr I cry,
A thirsty, twisted tree under a sunless sky.

I am the poet’s dusty, crumpled page,
A tomb-lit candle, a funeral stage.

I’m the bent reed of old songs’ sound,
A tainted blood, where bitter memories are found.

The flame-draped shawl of morning’s cry,
My father—a whisper, my son—a sigh.

Burnt wings of a moth in prayer’s flight,
Empty wineglass in a tavern of night.

The scent of rosemary from distant lands,
An out-of-tune instrument in unseen hands.

A broken rhythm on yellow hills’ bed,
Wounded, sick—what pain can I shed?

The last sunbeam of autumn’s flame,
An aged, bitter poet with no name.

So how can I tell you what I am?
Even I doubt whether I truly am.

The broken wings

This song was released back in 2004. It is the single biggest influence on my music, and totally defined what ive done and what ill do in the future. and Yes, she is my mom as well. <3 you mom. 

You have always made the best music, and its time people heard something. 

Touch And Go - Dana Mase

LYRICS:

Let me down
In the middle of your room
Nothing left to give
Nothing left to prove

Sing me a song
And show me how it ends
Gentle and soft
Like the hair upon your head

Let me drown
In a river of your words
Make me feel small
Make me feel unsure

Read me a line
And show me how it ends
Page after page
Maybe one day we’ll be friends

What am I doing here?
Say the words, and I’ll disappear
Oh, what am I doing here?
Say the words and I’ll disappear

Say the words
And I’ll disappear

LYRICS:

How did it start, this trainwreck
If only I'd known these rails wouldn't hold
Cast in gold
And it weighs me down
Like a hundred stones

But don't
Ask me to pick my poison
'Cause baby you know I'd pick you every time
With this fucked up heart
And these empty eyes
It's what keeps me alive

So I'm not too keen to say goodbye

So don't say anything
Let's save our energy
Yeah, you'll be better off without me
I'm giving up

Take care of my sweater please
Say hi to your family
'Cause I'm leaving
Don't you try to stop me
From giving up

How does it end, this story
If only I'd known this page wouldn't turn
But it still burns
And it stings my lungs
As I breathe your words

And I
I couldn't stand to tell you
That I was not ready for this at the time
But at least I tried
Keep your feet set straight
And your head up high

But I am not good with goodbyes

So don't say anything
Let's save our energy
Yeah, you'll be better off without me
I'm giving up

Take care of my sweater please
Say hi to your family
'Cause I'm leaving
Don't you try to stop me
From giving up

Don't say anything
(I'm giving up, I'm giving up)
Don't say anything
(I'm giving up, I'm giving up)
Don't say anything
('Cause if you, do I might just change my mind)
Oh don't say anything, no

It's been a good run I guess we'll say
And maybe our paths will cross one day
I have no regrets and I have no doubts
That you would be much more happy without me

And i'm sorry
Cast in gold, and it weighs me down
I can't take it no more, and I—

I'm sorry
Oh god, I'm sorry

LYRICS:

Driving through the city 
Till we’re lost
Counting all the railroads 
That we cross
You’re in your father’s sweatshirt
It’s way too big
Take a mental picture 
Don’t forget

And you 
Were never mine to lose
But I wish you well
You know I do
Been looking at the world through
Shades of blue
As overwhelming colors
Pour from you
On this avenue

Look at all the mansions
Aren’t they great
Let’s laugh about the offers
That we’d make
We’re passing by the graveyard
Hold your breath
Are you disappointed
By me yet

And you 
Were never mine to lose
But I wish you well
You know I do
Been looking at the world through
Shades of blue
As overwhelming colors
Pour from you
On this avenue

i cant even panic

A lot of things happened in the past 2 years, and I took some time off. I'm still recovering from everything, but I wanted to release music again to share with you all. I'm not too sure where my music will go from here, but I know I want to make more. I'm happy to say that things have been looking better. I'm planning on releasing music more regularly.

Thank you to everyone who still listens to my music and support me. It means a lot.

I love you all

Love Lost

"it isn't ready yet"

Been feeling nostalgic lately, so I built a time machine and recorded these songs. One of them is new, and one of them is a re-working of an older song from my first album. I hope you like them.

LYRICS:

I fell in love today
With my best friend
She lives inside my shadow
She hides inside my head
Can’t get enough today
Of her sweet voice
It haunts me like a song

Anhedonia
She keeps me numb
Makes sure I feel nothing
When the times are getting rough
Anhedonia
She keeps me away from the telephone
She keeps me away from the door
She keeps me from almost everything 
And I keep coming back for more
Ooh, anhedonia

I said I fell in love today
But I don’t mean to boast
She looks just like a phantom
She feels like a ghost
I can’t get enough today
Of her sweet words
They infiltrate my bones

Anhedonia
She keeps me numb
Makes sure I feel nothing
When the times are getting rough
Anhedonia
She keeps me away from the telephone
She keeps me away from the door
She keeps me from almost everything 
And I keep coming back for more

Look into my eyes
Don’t let this moment die
I will keep it around in my pocket
Just to prove that I’m still alive
In my heart, there’s a vacancy
It’s reserved for you and me
And the door is locked at the moment
But I’m giving you the key
Look into my eyes
Don’t let this moment die
I will keep it around in my pocket
Just to prove that it’s not a lie
In my heart, there’s a vacancy 
It’s reserved for you and me
But the door is locked at the moment

Anhedonia
She keeps me numb
Makes sure I feel nothing
When the times are getting rough
Anhedonia
She keeps me away from the telephone
She keeps me away from the door
She keeps me from almost everything 
I think it’s time to let her go

Anhedonia
Anhedonia, she’s my best friend
Anhedonia, she’s my best friend
Anhedonia
