My wishes take a shapeless form.
I yearn for things there're no names for.
But still, my soul can't find its rest
And sways each day from east to west.
My nose picks up hundreds of smells,
My ears can hear the sound of bells,
My eyes can see, but there's no point.
Sensing things won't fill the void.
But... Why do I bother? I'm still young,
The taste of milk's still on my tongue.
I have not known life, I have not live long,
So I'll spread my wings and I'll sing my song.
The road I took is no road no more,
There are no footprints in the snow.
But still a pain pierces my heels,
Each time I stop to feel the breeze.
Can I be sure that I'm on a path
That won't lead me to my death?
There are no signs, there is no one
To tell me whether I have won.
But somehow, I don't feel remorse
For straying off my initial course.
The sun's the same and the stars still shine
And I'll proclaim this land as mine.
I feel great guilt that I exist.
With every moment I have seized
My languid breathing takes away
The air from someone else that day.
I sit in silence, overshadowed
By my ego that'll soon devour
The grandiosity of someone's name
And they'll fade, I'll shine the same.
And I will ponder, I'll take my time
Choosing things that aren't mine.
But so you know, I'm quite aware
Of just how much I'll block your way
And I suffer knowing who I am.
The doors you'll open, I will slam.
But not because that's what I want,
You know what you want while I don't.
This is not the life I chose to live.
I'd give my all if the all I'd give
Will help a heart to beat that day
A bit longer so that they'll stay.
Brick by brick
We take down the wall
We named the Great
Long time ago
But the bricks themselves are
Feeble, frail
They crumble to pieces
They are to no avail
But we still demolish
Stone by stone
The Greatest wall we have
Ever known
Just because that's what
We are told
Will keep us away
From cold.
I wallowed in life's endless cycle
Of misery and lust.
Mundanity surrounded me like
Centuries-old dust.
Then suddenly I saw a thing so new,
A catalyst for change,
Disguised as love, disguised as true,
Delilah's great revenge.
My smoking gun, I urge you to
Breathe your smoke into me
So that my lungs stop working
But just for a moment
So that when they resume
It will be with twice as much power
As if to pay me back for the time
I lost dying
Now I stand here
Under the sweltering sun
Plowing the barren land
And pulling out the weeds
That once were my sadness, anger, joy
Hoping, praying, begging
For it to finally rain
I was the big shiny balloon
Whose tail got caught up in your hand
But instead of tying me down
And keeping me for yourself
You looked at me - at your own reflection
Cut off my ribbon
And let me go
Untamed and unforgiven
Evil may be forbidden
But every day she faced
The evil of disgrace
Painted in the new light
Every day, as people fight
Whether she is worthy
Of the public's mercy
The things are lost and never found
Like that summer's morning sound
Please tell me: "How do you live
When there's no time to truly grieve?"
