Silent Nothingness

Track #11 of my third album 'Down the Rabbit Hole'. open.spotify.com/album/4Iq21rBQvgXesED9Hv8GEc

Living in our heads and in our dreams while being shut out from the world. The only input through our phones insubstantial, the mind hazy and disconnected. Night time adventure and freedom. Waking up to the hazy grey of day light, facing reality, a daily challenge.

LYRICS:

Signal's weak
I can barely hear
Others near
I can barely speak

Colours soft
I can barely see
A cloud of silk
Not much space to move

So much hissing
So much static 
Some voices, they talk
Nothing relevant
To me or anyone 
Anyone

Stand
By
It doesn't end, you know
It just hesitates
From time to time
Time to time

Lights are on
It must be getting dark						 
Not so sure
Anyone is even here

It's getting light
But it seems really dull
Brain is jammed
Too drained to activate today

So much static 
So much hissing
Some voices they talk
Nothing relevant
To me or anyone
Leave me alone

Stand
By
It doesn't end, you know
It just hesitates
From time to time
Time to time

Stand
By 
It doesn't end, you know
Just slows its heartbeat down
From time to time
Time to time

Stand
By 
It doesn't end, you know
It slows its heartbeat down
From time to time
Time to time

Wait
Out 
It doesn't end, you know

It just morphs inside
Into something else
You would otherwise
Have never know
Never known

Stand
Wait
Stand
Wait
Stand and wait

psy·​cho·​path ˈsī-kə-ˌpath. 
Calculating, calm, self control, violent, no empathy, no conscience, no feeling of guilt or remorse. A nightmare turned reality turned into a song.

LYRICS:

Patients 
And control
Perfection but
No soul

Should have 
Stayed away
It was always gonna be his way

But
Don't lie
Don't lie
Don't lie
Don't lie

Too calm
It's getting tense
The smiles now 
Outright dangerous

Nothing
Is making sense
Intentions quite ambiguous

But
Don't lie
Don't lie
Don't lie
Don't lie

Girl 
Girl
You better run
It's not your turn

Boy    
You have no name
There's no excuse
And no return

Don't lie
Don't lie
Don't lie
Don't lie

Dangerous
Vanity
Thread and needles
Sick 
Vanity
Dangerous
Vanity
Sick
Vanity

Track #04 of my third album 'Down the Rabbit Hole'. open.spotify.com/album/4Iq21rBQvgXesED9Hv8GEc

Selenophilia (sel-en-o-phi-lia) - a lover of the moon. 
The longing to bath in the warm light of dusk, to float in the cool night air, the freedom of the liberated soul.

_________________________________________________________________________________

LYRICS:

Dreams come alive
Cause the days are gone

Bathed in blue light
My skin’s ghostly and pale 				
Solitary peace in			
Quiet loneliness

When the outside
Stops for a while

Dreams are alive
Cause they’re all you have

Through grey mists 
Fleeting and thin
A frozen lake of
Iridescent memories 

Hibernating		
Patiently

From the dark
I watch the sky turn to dusk
Once again
Longing to find

The soft yellow light
In between day and night
Mystery place		
In the fabric of space

Often obscured
But never totally gone
Dizzying heights
Free and wild

The endless sigh
A warming comforting breeze
Carry me wide
To never come home

04 Selenophilia

Water gun

Lake in a whale

Sonnet n° 60 :
Like as the waves make towards the pebbl'd shore,
So do our minutes hasten to their end;
Each changing place with that which goes before,
In sequent toil all forwards do contend.
Nativity, once in the main of light,
Crawls to maturity, wherewith being crown'd,
Crooked eclipses 'gainst his glory fight,
And Time that gave doth now his gift confound.
Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth
And delves the parallels in beauty's brow,
Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth,
And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow:
And yet to times in hope my verse shall stand,
Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand.

Like As The Waves
