Red Queen

 

why do i have to pay attention

why do i have to say stop

waiting for the day when i will be free

why do i have to say stop

 

wait till i burn to

wait till i turn to

wait till i plan to stop

 

raise up to the maximum height

temper brings us to the core that never stops

 

 

Egolution

 

you know it would be wise

to find shelter in disguise

you know it would apply

to find an echo of your mind

 

reciprocal – changing sides

blurring the hand in front of your eyes

well, it all will go away someday

but not now

 

old as souls can be

misguided hidden in sulci

 

raised to be kind and shallow

aged to deny and fall

kinda hard to be the one to say: “i told you so”

lightning splits some stones

bruises muscles, bruises bones

concussion damage acts as relief

finally you will perceive

 

brain tissue debris adjusting to gravity

forming an amniotic cavity

fane denies – so it will be denied

close your eyes until the anchor is aweigh

until movement strikes

until everything is flowing again

but uneffected by the intermediate step you tried to accumulate

 

 

Off Sound Mind

 

timid sensations enthralling me – fall for me

cross over – cross out

keep your eyes low

don’t cross me

the quintessence of what is meant to be

 

a flicker in your tired eyes

the proove that you have seen it too

a spark transcending all the gloom

a glimpse of what is bane and boon

 

the faster you run

the harder you burn

scars you earn

things to learn

always concerned

 

you don´t want to turn around to face your fear

the look in your eyes would impact fine on my mind

 

noises in my head

a wish for silence is wearing me out

i tried to turn them off

but they went back on again

i run as hard as i can to get them off

to get them out of my head

i want them dead

i want them all gone

 

time for transition

breaking free – breaking thee

snap fingers – snap bones

violent thoughts – let it be

is it worth it? let it be

a notion that’s still coming back to me

question norm, question authority

the mantra that keeps crashing down on me

 

the faster you run

the harder you burn

scars you earn

things to learn

always concerned

 

you don´t want to turn around to face your fear

the look in your eyes would impact fine on my mind

 

noises in my head

a wish for silence has taken my youth

i tried to turn them off

but they went back on again

i run as hard as i can

to get them off

to get them out of my head

i want them dead

i want them all gone

 

the sun comes up

still aware of thee

with her rays in my eyes

it cracks down on me

the sensations so strong

i can barely breath

 

as i run

toward the light

inside my mind

my pace is getting steadier

when all the sudden

pain blooms in my head

i falter as

i feel the synapses snap

the hive’s agony

echos through my brain
without turning back

i go on until
all collective awareness fades away

i can feel the loss of the newborn
while catching my breath i feel a new sun
dawning inside my skull

it´s done

i’ve escaped from my own sound mind

 

 

Error-Prone

 

i like to see clear
you say
always always
too much
on the mountains of pride
you got plenty of teeth to bite
one and another fist to fight
lips to make ’em moan
a tongue as stick and stone
may your words stand on their own
may someone realize what you’ve already known
error-prone
ask anyone who might reflect
ask anyone who might consider to
ask anyone who might have listened
hit anyone who might reflect
hit anyone who might consider to
so i stay
without bones it’s easy to rest
so dig a hole – maybe up in the sky
and throw your shit down at false believers
don´t you dare to enter my square
don´t want you anywhere near
after all i´m consigner
and you’re receiver
error-prone
without bones it’s easy to rest
so dig a hole, maybe up in the sky

i still stay
so I stay
you say too much
on the mountains of pride
on the mountains of shame
one day maybe
there will be clarity
the illusion of life disappears
is there light in the fields of the void
a former moon millions of miles away
and i always say nothing
on the mountains of pride
on the mountains of pride

 

Edaphon

 

i run ashore (over and over again)
but i see all
the familiar cracks
all these dots moving
slowly seizing around
where I lay

still

ready
to wake up somewhere above you
but i subside where i belong
if i focus my mind
i can still hear the sound
of my heart beating
now, where am I?
