Days with the grinning grace of Al Pacino
Play in the mirror like raging De Niro
Trying so hard to match every move
When the gun reached his hand he was ready to go
Video filled the mind of the gangsta
Violence he thought was the star of the picture
Rehearsed it so many god damn times
His performance was sure to win the Oscar
Didn’t make it to the cover of the daily mirror
Before he disappeared in the shadow of a cellar
Recalls the blood on her silent body
None of the glamour he expected to see
He could see her face every day in the mirror
As he tried to remember what had started his anger
But flashes in his mind became unclear
Like a video image played for years

Fiction
04:27
|

watch the sky deep and wide
feel the space between the stars and you now
feel so small
you're gonna lose your fiction
falling in the right confusion
fall
in your dreams the sirens scream
do you think they’ll disappear
tonight, on your own
no one to change your fiction
staying in the same illusion
stay
you can always choose it
confuse it or lose it
no one’s made to do it
but you are so use it
on your own, you're feeling cold
your dreams are burning in the snow
you feel tired in your mind
the reason finds no reason
falling in a new obession
fall
i have tried so many times
i’ve been lost, i’ve been surprised
but this time
sun will shine
someone to feel your fiction
i know I’m not losing my mind
you can always choose it
refuse it or lose it
no one’s made to do it
but you are so use it

This may come
This may come as some surprise
But I miss you.
I could see through all of your lies
But still I miss you.
He takes her love
But it doesn't feel like mine
He tastes her kiss
Her kisses are not wine
They're not mine.
He takes
But surely she can't give what I'm feeling now.
She takes
But surely she doesn't know how.
Is it a crime? Is it a crime that I still want you?
And I want you to want me
Too.
My love is wider
Wider than Victoria Lake.
My love is taller
Taller than the Empire State.
It dives and it jumps and it ripples like the deepest ocean.
I can't give you more than that
Surely you want me back.
Is it a crime? Is it a crime that I still want you?
And I want you to want me
Too.

Compassion
06:55
|

This pain in your eyes
so close and out of reach
You don’t have to speak,
i know where you’ve been
A veil on your voice,
a shadow on your smile
Those washed out grey eyes,
i know what they’ve seen
My hand on your back
feels heavy and obscene
Just to imagine,
i’ll never be clean
I can’t share the weight,
i only can taste
I’m here standing too tall
and feel so out of place
I can’t see the future,
I only can guess
This hurting will fade away
And disappear at last

You are
05:15
|
|||
Dangerous, ambiguous,
You are
Frivolous, Marvellous, outside
But so heartless, chocking us, inside
Dangerous, ambiguous,
You are
Dangerous, ambiguous,
You are
Treasure us, mysterious, so fine
And yet senseless, emotionless, you hide
Dangerous, ambiguous,
You are
Teasing me, exciting me, I die
But this needless jealousy, destroying me, you spy
Oh so dangerous, ambiguous,
You are

Embrace
04:24
|

Embrace
Embrace all that you are
And chase in every single sign
That grace i wish to be mine
And pray for you to look down

Head on the pillow
08:31
|
|||
gimme shelter for the night to come,
you know it’s not always easy for some
to find a home in this lonely town
you open up your lonely bed
but i won’t stay here i’m afraid
i’ll sleep under the stars instead
rest my head on your pillow
let go all the sorrow
if it’s good for some, if it’s good for someone
rest my head on your pillow
let go all the sorrow
if it’s good for some, then it must be good for me
you think it wise to call me a marginal
i guess it’s cynical, my bench lies right in the middle
now you look down and call me a homeless
i think it’s curious, when you spend your days at the office
rest my head on your pillow
et go all the sorrow
if it’s good for some, if it’s good for someone
rest my head on your pillow
let go all the sorrow
if it’s good for some, then it must be good for me
i found a home between your thighs
warm and tender they magnetize
i think i’m gonna settle and stabilise
rest my head on your pillow
let go all the sorrow

Fruit
03:59
|

this tiny fruit
sitting in the basket
looks so divine,
can i risk it
will i be sick if it ran out of date
or will i expire when i take the first bite ?
this shiny fruit
rolls inside the basket
hides underneath and out of my reach
is it dangerous and is it worth it ?
or shall i choose another one and will i regret it ?
this juicy fruit
resting in the basket
seems to defy me and gives me no rest
could it be conscious could it be self aware
of my desire for the skin and the flesh ?

Staring at windows
07:01
|
|||
spend your time
to buy blue sky
but in your mind a fat grey cloud
you stare at windows
on a big blue screen
that never opens and never closes
see my computer cry
and know what it feels like
when it begs for a life it hardly possesses
see my computer fly
and hear what it sounds like
when it lands on the ground and crashes in pieces
rows of data rise in line
millions of euros and one lost guy
your software, my grey hair
your hard way is my nightmare
see my computer cry
and know what it feels like
when it begs for a life it hardly possesses
see my computer fly
and hear what it sounds like
when it lands on the ground and crashes in pieces
