What do you want?
I’m doing all you ask me to
Is it not enough?
Is it too less weight I carry for you?
Give me your fear your anger
so are you pleased now that I took it away?
Do you feel free not that you have put it all on me?
You see I’m weak, still put your arms around me
and push me down
My heart it bleeds, still put you thumb
on my hurting wound
You put dark clouds above me
Spin me around, till I don’t know where I am
You give me names, you tease me
Till I don’t know who I am
I’m on my knees, my face on the ground
so are you happy now
Your pressure broke my chest, my bones
my trust, my faith and my love
I am your bone, you burry me
and I keep still until you just let me be
They said faint death and all the pain
will go away some day
The breath comes back into my lungs
and blows away the pain

The letter

Hey there my friend,
it’s been a while since I wrote you a letter. I hope you’re alright.
Times have been crazy, chaotic and hazy but
I feel much better now. So where do I start, let’s see.
Please forgive me my inertance
It’s hard to keep up with these requirements
I know I have to stop to be so negligent
I try my best to change
So let me explain:
It’s hard to stay in touch when hundreds of miles lie
between the two of us.
It feels like you’re drifting, you’re drifting away from me
Or maybe it’s me that is slipping away my dear.
I don’t know what’s wrong, why am I doing this?
I try to amend how I behave.
My mind brings back all of these memories.
Spins me around, clouding my thoughts
Do forgive me this.
Please forgive me my inertance
It’s hard to keep up with these requirements
My mind brings back all of these memories.
Spins me around, clouding my thoughts
Do forgive me this.

The storm

Take my hand, hold on to it.
The waves are rolling, rough is the sea.
I know you´re scared, you fear for your life.
You can´t feel your legs, your body gets numb.
Gasping for air.
You look out for help, in vain, you are lost.
It´s you and the storm, a cold bloody war.
Is the battle lost? Keep your fingers crossed,
keep your fingers crossed.
A hail of bullets shoots down from the sky.
The pain runs deeply, down to your bones.
Don´t you ever let go, please focus the light
That shines in your eyes, it´s longing for life
Be conscious and rise.
Step up for yourself, they can´t bring you down
You´re stronger than them, you put them to route
Be patient, wait and see, the truth shall set you free,
the truth shall set you free.
