You are joy and I am sorrow
how do we differ?
You laugh at me when I cry
there wouldn’t be you without me
You’ve been born in the sun
and I’ve been born on the moon
You’ve been made out of sunbeams
and I am reflected light
You are hope and I am fear
how do we differ?
You pray that we would never meet
but I’m already with you
You are peace and I am war
how do we differ?
You wait politely for your turn
while I go through the door
You’ve been born in the sky
and I’ve been born on the ground
You’ve been made out of a cloud
and I’ve been made out of stone
You’ve been born in the sun
and I’ve been born on the moon
I am sickness and you are health
so together we will be

Road
03:29
|

The road is complicated to walk
sudden turns and cracks appearing under my feet.
Where have gone all the happy thoughts from my head?
I might have lost them with my cellphone and my love
- they’re gone. The road is complicated to walk
streetlights flashing in my eyes. They spin around
I feel something following me
When I turn around, I see my past hanging over me
Like I could ever leave my own shadow behind
I cannot lead my footprints away from my path
They’re following me through the night ‘til end of my days
So where ever I go, I need to keep going on
This road is complicated to walk
I’m not sure if it’s even worth seeing through,
but I’m too far to turn around,
I need to see, what the future is holding for me
Words I spoke out loud,
Thoughts I turned into acts
All the promises I broke
Made this road so hard to carry on
Like I could ever leave my own shadow behind...

Bad Dreams
06:15
|

Hey, did you hear that, the creeking of the floor
now the clock turns to midnight and you’re shivering and scared
Hey, did you see that, the shape behind your window
is it a ghost or reflection can you tell it for sure?
Count to three snap your fingers and believe
but you’ll see there’s no way to make the bad dreams disappear
And if you dare you bend under your bed
when you chek it out there’s no one there, maybe it just left
You wander in your mind to find happy dreams
but there’s a monster behind every door
See the prison gates opening, murderers wandering
Shaking and sweating all the lights on
and you try not to close your eyes
‘cause the pain of losing love-ones feels so real
and you don’t know if you’re awake or asleep
Look there’s no stars in the open black sky
not a square millimeter of light in infinite dark
And see who’s here, it’s the stranger from your dreams
waving and smilinig, coming to you
You wander in your mind to find happy dreams...
Gargoyles, black unicorns and men with green uniforms
weapons of mass-destruction in reach of all nations
Knossos Palace’s minotaurs and lion-headed manticores
marching through your imagination to bring the devastation
You wander in your mind to find happy dreams...

Cardboard Puzzle
03:18
|

I have a cardboard puzzle
the box is gone missing, i don’t know what it’ll be
and the pieces are all over the floor
I want to put it back together
I’ll start from the corners, i will sort it out
and something beautiful i’ll see
Maybe a field against the morning sun or swans by the lake
leaves of autumn on a windy day
Maybe a rainbow in the summer sky or Grimm’s Snow White
hometown river in moonlight
I don’t know what i’m holding in my hand
is it petal of a flower or a part from the cloud
Snowflakes dancing in the air
You’re the greatest problem I’ve had
You’ve gave me headaches and many nights awake
but I’m about to solve you now
When the last pieces are on their place
I will make a huge smile on my face
I will glue and tape you and put you in the frame
so that no-one can break you again
You’re a field against the morning sun and swans by the lake...
I had a cardboard puzzle
but someone else took you, when you were whole
and I am all over the floor

Architect
05:18
|

Tonight on a construction site I was building up my dream
It will be the tallest one anyone ever had seen
It will rise above the clouds and through the atmosphere
I might also reach a star and drop it on to the ground
What can be built can be also be broken down
What climbs up can be also be dragged to the ground
Things that live will eventually die
It’s a truth that will make you cry
Pillars that used to hold me up
and made me standing tall are now taken away
Ruins of my wildest dream
are now cleared and packed on that yellow truck
Maybe it was ‘cause of the wind at those heights,
way too many rainy days made it all fall apart
And talking about the sabotage
people planting bombs in my dream and blew it up in the air
What can be built can be also be broken down...
Well I’m no architect I’m no engineer
But the vision that came to my head was clear to me
I ignored the calculations and the drawings too
and it all happened so soon
Can you hear how the pieces of my dream are crumbling now
They are rolling from the hill to the cliff to the shore
continuing their way to the ocean blue
to the core of the earth

Violet Blue
04:38
|

The sky is violet blue
I’m waiting the sun to rise soon
I can see the stars shining bright
and slowly fading into night
The candle lights up the room
wait for few hours, and it’s gone
Everything I saw turned black
and I can’t get that feeling back
Scent of your perfume
softly lingers through the room
vanilla and berries and lilies - in the air
they’re just faint memories of you
Silver loses its shine
everything disappears in time
image in the mirror just blurs away
and time takes over your face
Scent of your perfume...
Silver loses its shine
everything disappears in time
image in the mirror just blurs away
and time takes over your face
As I walk down the hall
I see a rope hanging from the roof
I’m watching the way it swings, I’m watching your skin
that slowly turns violet blue

Loss of Words
04:33
|
|||
I’m circling restless around my room
turning the place upside down
trying to find my words, I breathe the city air
I dodge the cars rolling down the street
I look through the buildings, surrounding trees
I’ll check out every corner, I will turn every stone
Have you seen them anywhere?
they’re quite heavy and important to me
I try to ask around, but this is a quiet town
Police, please, send your recruits:
to find the words that I’ve lost!
and make them do it at all cost
I’ll pay every dime, please find what is mine
they were on their way into my head
from my throat to tip of my tongue
out of my mouth, making the sound
I lost my words, where did they go?
under the pavement for maggots to eat?
or in to the wind, between those threatening clouds
Or way beyond our beloved Earth
into the space, behind that star
twinkling and smiling for us, from light-year’s distance apart
NASA, please, send the astronauts:
to find the words I’ve lost...
I browse through my dictionary
trying to find the words I’ve lost
I’ll chek from the letter “L”
I’ve found the words!

Letter
05:27
|

I found a letter hovering in the air,
marked under my address and name
It was from my old friend who had lost her name,
living in the street which doesn’t exist
Inside there was a photo of her, overexposed,
I cannot tell how she looks like today
And a plain white paper with nothing on it,
there was nothing to say
What will I write? When my life is circling around
How can I reply? When there is nothing to say
What will I write? When my life is all the same
How can I reply? When there is nothing to say
So I wrote her a letter with nothing on it,
just a plain white paper folded in two
It had everything I’ve achieved, everything I’ve done,
all of my moments both sorrow and joy
And I took her a picture of the shape that I bear,
a body that’s borrowed to me for my life
It got underexposed and also slightly blurred
but I think it looks better this way
What will she write? When her life is circling around...
I found a letter waiting in my hallway...
I found a letter without any address nor name
I found a letter from my hallway, I reach it slow
I found a letter without an address nor name...
Like a drop in the sea my life will become a part of the stream
Like a grain in the sand my name will remain
unknown to the desert wind
I won’t need a name, I’m a leaf hanging on a tree
What will I write? When my life is circling around
How can I reply? When there is nothing to say
