@whoisoverlife x matzmow When I Was Around

There's a lady that sleeps
A lady that knows
A lady that waits
For the tides that flow.

She waits in a field
She waits by the sea
She waits for the ships
So tall and so free.

She waits in the shadows
She waits for the crow
She waits in the barrows
With her sisters below.

She waits for a message
She waits for a flight
She's a mother of mercy
At the dimming of light.

She arrives in the morning
In early afternoon
She arrives with an answer
That none can undo.

There’s a lady that waits
For me and for you
She waits silent
Amidst morning dew.

There's a lady that sleeps
A lady that knows
A lady that waits
With her sisters below.

She waits in a field
She waits by the sea
She waits for the ships
So tall and so free.

There’s a lady that waits
Amidst morning dew
She waits silent
For me and for you.

Eightin - Hallelujah

I advanced east into the setting sun
Climbed up stairs from roof to ground
Strove for heaven and turned around
Embraced freedom without a sound.

Became a Buddhist by worshipping time
I drank water and then I drank wine
Swam the Nile, washed up on the shore
Recited the alphabet for an encore.

I turned right and inside out
Whispered until it became a shout
Shuffled cards all day in the square
Wrote three books a week for millionaires.

Began with nothing, won every race
Times changed; I lost my place
Gave up trying to end my life
Played the bagpipes, danced with a knife.

I grew older until I became young
Relied on intuition until it became numb
Exercised until I lost the thread
Gave up running and dined instead.

I never left a table full or empty
I never met a person but I met plenty
Ran away for another season
Always looking for a better reason.

Duality r5

This piece was inspired by the idea of justice in video game music.
Yet, what true justice is… still remains a mystery to me.

Gather under the banner of justice

can i make it right?

An acorn grew
Into a mighty tree
It stood in a yard
And watched TV.

And as it stood
It quietly sang
I once was a forest
When the world began.

I once was an acorn
Now I’m a tree
Grew by a stream
In a forest of me.

The forest thinned
With the passing years
I grow in a yard
With my solitary fears.

I once was an acorn
Now a tree
I grow in your yard
And I watch TV.

I rattle the eaves
I bang on the wall
You’ve forgotten the trees
I remember it all.

I once was an acorn
Now a tree
I once was a forest
A forest of me.

I live in your yard
In a singular space
I once was a forest
That’s been erased.

You once were a nymph
That lived in the trees
Now you’re human
With house and TV.

I scatter leaves
Here and there
Some in the gutter
Some on the stairs.

You walk through leaves
On your way to the gate
You’re about to leave
You’re running late.

A nymph in the forest
A nymph in the trees
Now you live
Without memories.

You once were a nymph
That lived in the trees
Now you’re human
With house and TV.

I once was an acorn
Now a tree
I grow in your yard
And watch TV.

I scatter leaves
On the roof
I scatter leaves
On the stairs.

And as you walk
Along the path
I scatter leaves
Into your hair.

I live in your yard
In a singular space
I once was a forest
That’s been erased.

An acorn grew
Into a mighty tree
It stood in a yard
And watched TV.

Lyrics:
Dreams fall, they blur n sway
Lost paths, I cant help but drift away
Open gates,I step through thin quiet worlds
I sink within

Daydream
I'm lost in a daydream
I'm lost in a daydream
I'm stuck in a daydream

Driftin' through the clouds while I'm stuck in this chair
Eyes wide open but I'm not really there
World in my head, got no need for a plan
Buildin' empires in the palm of my hand
Lost in a haze where the minutes all blur
Chasin' ideas that may never occur
Guess I'm caught in a dream

Dreams fall, they blur n sway (I'm lost in a daydream)
Lost paths, I cant help but drift away (I'm lost in a daydream)
Open gates,I step through thin quiet worlds I sink within (I'm stuck in a daydream)

Re:DayDream

We walked downhill
To the City of God
The way was steep
The gradient odd.

Down that hill
Steep and cold
Ever closer
To that city old.

Massive buildings
Shady paths
Puzzling signposts
No live hearths.

 
Walked along
Narrow lanes
Twisted into 
Strange arrays.

Everywhere
Empty halls
Empty windows
Empty doors.

Angelic names
Above the frames
Flower beds
Not maintained.

 
City of gardens
Now a mausoleum
For all those lost
In eternal dream.

At city’s edge
We found Paradise Park
Apple trees
An antique plaque.

Saying, here
Adam and Eve
Met a serpent
Whom they did believe.

And from here
They did depart
This was the straw
That broke the city’s heart.

City of God r0

It’s the way that you hate me…
(It’s the way that you hate me)

You said you’re running away.. 
(You said you’re running away)

Is it the way that you hate me 
The silence is breaking me 
You say you running away 
(You said you’re running away)

Caught up in lies that I made 
I was too damn afraid 
Said that I’m the one running away
(I’m running away)

Yeah, I just run from my problems 
& Run from myself 
I was so hurt I needed you 
Not no one else 
(Not no one else)

And you saved me from misery
Alone in the cold 
I was down on my luck 
I was stuck all alone 
(stuck all alone)

Wait, and I’ll come back for you 
Because I never got enough 
(Never had enough)

All the lies that you told me
Never got you that far 
Run away to forget me 
And everything I was 
You did this to me 
now you say you want to run 
And yes I still love you 
Were the last words I said 
I know that you hate me 
Know you like that instead 

And yes I still love you 
Were the last words I said 
I know you still hate me 
Know you like that instead 

I know you like that instead

I know you like that instead

I know you like that instead
