You move a little closer now
and that makes me a little scared
well, I mean I could be simple 
not try to understand
just nod to what you say

of course no one's easy around here
doesn't seems like you care
so I try some thoughts
to see if your respond will be
a few steps back

If you're not afraid of my sadness

Then we could be friends
and I would let you in
but you're just not supposed to give
your attention to someone
that will always disappear  in the end

If you're not afraid of my sadness
well I'm not afraid of yours

so if there's something left of me
if there's anything you'd like to recall
pretend that I'm someone else
you're very welcome to have it all

Well Then...

I never wanted those assholes to know
I’ve got to keep it to myself, what for?
I felt so slow
Don’t even know 
why it leaves me by surprise this time
and reveals that we 
worship almost anything
I’m really honest this time

And maybe you’ve won
when you finally don’t wish for more
I’m so glad I met you now 

For real I had something to show
Places where beautiful flowers shouldn’t grow
But they do you see, they’re just shy
Yes, It’s OK to ask them why
All these scenarios I held in my head
I never had to explain 
Every shore
Every fall
at night
but now I know
that’s me
I care to withhold my inner sights clear 
That’s why I’m feeling so slow

And maybe you’ve won
when you finally don’t wish for more
I’m so glad I met you now 

So Glad I Met You Now / Manners

This Dead Object Might Be The Only Living Thing Around Here

You said: why?
I said: what?
You said: time
I said: What crime?
we don’t know 
anything
try to accept that
I’m just not scared 
whatever comes for us

Then again
nothing is wrong
no regrets
like that phone call
afterwards
so gentle
I like my friends
I’m thankful but tired,
glad to be here
for real

The numbers, the names
are slowly getting less
Dreams of fur around my feet
I’m getting dressed
I head for coffee 
I head for more but I start with coffee
a few
I’ve been a few

I’d like to rest in a feeling 
that says it’s ok to disagree 
it’s just an option to agree
maybe you'll see  
my warmest wish 
being a friend
to you 
Please don’t let this one go
I thought to myself: Maybe you won’t
