COLD AND GREY
I make a web away from you
To see your face in a different way
While the stars are driving me mad
Shining bright
I need to howl like an Irish pack
The hunter says that we got it made
Go stag you must hide in your cave
Near the sun
Try to see me from behind
Please tell me who I am
Seed inside my lightened dreams
I know the sun is in Cold and Grey
I want to explore this labyrinth
To suck your head 'till there's nothing in
'Cause your eyes are bluer and fool
Than the sky
Camel call will stamp my pool
We'll get in touch with the camel zoo
I need to drink your milk at your breast
Don't try to forget this place 'cause you
Know the sun will shine for you
Cold and Grey

SOME FAITH
Days are running over me.
Find them like awful beasts
Awake and watching around my bed,
I'm planning how to defeat them.
I hold my breath to avoid being seen
by those fearsome fantasies.
Waiting for a new age to come,
you know, I can only fight.
My clock is ticking madly.
Its beat stabs at my soul.
Alone and going crazy,
I don't know how to go on.
At all times I want to run away
before my spirit breaks down.
There're no comforting words to say,
you know, I can only shout.
My brain is driving me mad
and shaking my mind.
Please, love me and hold me tight.
I don't want to abandon all hope.
I need your support.
Please, give me some care, my Love.
My life is fast getting grey
like an unpleasant day.
I'm so tired of this endless rain.
My eyes don't give up on crying
and my tears are so dry.
Even so I'm not satisfied.
It's a good thing
to have you with me, my honey.
I need your touch,
I need your love so much
when I feel alone.
I'm looking for
some reason to live on, my darling
I want to breathe
I need some faith from you
so my heart won't break down.

CYCLOTHYMIA
The vastness I feel
around every bend
Seeps into the deepest void of my soul.
It's disturbing my thoughts.
Among healing words,
prescriptions and fixes.
Again in this roller-coaster, you guys!
What a hell of a ride!
Wonder to whom I belong.
I try to catch hold of your essence,
But you always drain out of my hands.
Don't be afraid, my friends, when you see me down.
I want some clue,
I just need some sign from you.
And then I'll go my way.
Will you ever answer me?
Please whisper in my ear,
Please.
I'm here all alone
While you're over there,
I see each of you looking out for yourself
from the top of my wave.
Dark nights and bright days,
Sweet dreams and nightmares,
I can find no distinction among all of them
I ask myself: “what's my name?”
Wonder when I'll be awake.
I try to catch hold of your essence,
....
I have never been able to hear you,
to rely on you
I wanna step beside you
till the end of times
You fill my emptiness with your soundtrack
with your silence
I’ll wait for you
till fate tied our secrets up
I’m feeling numb
Each day of my gray seasons
I`m begging for you
Teach me how to feel how to feel
I´ve never dreamt this before
You appear out of the blue
I´m crazy, thinking you feel the same
But now, I’m just trying to understand
I can feel you your light
You make my world brighter
One sound is back
As if by magic
I have to be on fire
This kind of light is thin on the ground nowadays
Shhh, lights off
Please whisper in my ear

LADY TIME
This morning bluebirds took me down to the valley
I saw an old man in a cloudburst of tears
I came closer his eyes glistened like water
Holding a faded rose he mourned for his life
"Here I'm sitting on a strange stone
with my nose close to a square wall
Hearing tunes from that magical flute
At night when singing birds are blind
I see grey hairs, deep wreckled eyes,
WHITE HANDS!"
Don't you know she is Lady Time, my friend
Don't you know she wants you to be sad
Graves and craddles, they must be the same
It's a be, a shell, just universe.

Out of the Earth

OUT OF THE EARTH
Riding on a silvered star
I want to fly across the universe
I want to explore with my naked soul
Every planet with every tiny moon, leaving soon
Ooooh, out of the Earth
It ́s good to feel universal spell
Ooooh, looking for change
We ́re meditating for a common world.
Uuuuuummm, I ́m overjoyed
Aauuuuuuumm, I ́ll find the One hidden behind the mask
I wish I could fly and kiss the sky
As charming sparrows madly in love with spring
I wish I could sing for the brand new day
As smitten blackbirds waiting for the sun, let it shine
Ooooh, out of the Earth
It ́s good to feel universal spell
Ooooh, looking for change
We ́re meditating for a common world.
My mind is a spring flowing lovely thoughts
My lips are rocks waiting for God’s dew
I’m by myself when I’m all alone
Sweet feelings , I’m giving love away
Breathing, sweating, inhaling life
I’m Odysseus heading for the sea, joyfully
Ooooh, out of the Earth
It ́s good to feel universal spell
Ooooh, looking for change
We ́re meditating for a common world.
Uuuuuummm, I ́m overjoyed
Aauuuuuuumm, I ́ll find the One hidden behind the mask.
