FRAGMENT

Fragment of joy
Is all we are allowed
A small thread
wrapped around your finger
Meager
A tangible piece
Particle of a smile
A trivial thought
Fragment of joy
You feel like an empty house
With all the lights on
Tangled threads lead
To a troubled knot
Blood from my mouth
no longer holding on
I broke something
I project you on everyone like a
grainy film
All in my head
Tight space yet comforting
Try to feel better

LAUGH TRACK
04:46
|

|
I forget everyone
I become everyone
Slit knife
Something to call my own
A suicide sparks the winds have told
Wake me up
Hold my hand
A reaching hand
I’m following the sun
I’ve burnt every one that I’ve ever loved
Stitch me up
Thread and needle
Between breaths
Hair like a birds nest
My eyes adjust
Tell me red and green
What's so special about my hand
Dichotomy
Take nothing seriously
Being overly serious
Talking between coughing
Vampire teeth
And nothing on TV
I tried so hard to remember
But it's all in the past
Branches broken
And bent
Cripple the ghost
I recognize myself on the street
Staring at the pavement smiling
Nothing Special
Drown of boredom
In mountainside town
Cripple the ghost
Nothing special
Cripple the ghost
I once had by my side

RED BIKE

|
He is too young
to have learned
to hate himself
yet that seed is already planted
Luck isn't real
Can I take it away
Scar blossom
Sometimes people you meet
on the way down are great
But everyone is forgotten
Hidden from god
Doorway of a dream
A light facet
Losing interest
Colorless
I get bored, awake at night
Shadows gather like fog
Wait for answers
Come clean
This could mean more to me
Than a boring dream
You’re always going to
Feel this way
Memories of shadow
Memories of stone
From afar I'm no one
From afar I’m nobody
Love is forgotten
I can’t think of anything else
Mine is mine
I'm out of my head
Dreams of a collapsing roof
And getting punched in the head
Falling off a red bike
Get it out of my head

NIGHT SHIFT
06:16
|

|
I work nights
A life of whispers and headlights
In a lonely place
Forget eachother
And the bruises on my knees
Paperbacks more admired than read
Eyes closed
A pasted on moon lights the sky
A canyon deep and dead
Warping slowly in this dark place
Is this it?
Is this the best it gets?
Is this it?
All my friends are getting old
I keep looking at my phone
A vacuum inside my head
A canyon deep and dead
Grey acceptance
I am mud and flame
I’m finding out by asking
Are you okay with being removed?
Are you willing to be made nothing?
Do ya wanna go?
Yeah but I like doing nothing.
What the hell is going on?
What’s the opposite of a dream?
Crawl into oblivion
Crawl into bed
Be made nothing
Stay put
