Madness

Planted in an urban hole was a boy
Well behaved, poorly shaved and overall normal
He loved however he liked
And fought for whoever his heart wanted
Cried himself to bed for his love was long gone
And he knew that all hell would break loose had he been found dead
So he would scream his soul out in a song instead

Come whatever new day brings
Where does the truth hide
Where do all the dots connect
She's gripping my ankle
Long lost friend I would lately neglect
Returning
Come whatever new day brings us
It's been a very long time
Since I've been twirling round the pit
Where every man's hope dies
I haven't noticed you're still here
Come whatever new day brings
It's been a very long time
Since I've been twirling round the pit
Come whatever new day brings
Where do all the dots connect
Where every man's hope dies
New day
I haven't noticed you're still here
There's a certain arrogance to your video
Where you talk and talk and talk about ambition
How you want your art to change the world
Only I know you had no vision
Can't concentrate and see where she sneaks
I'm alert, reserved, obsessed, paranoid and weak
As we sigh, blurry eyed and fail to proceed
My timid beast reveals her humanoid physique
I accept having you by my side
And yet I reject your guidance
In you'll stay
Till we part our ways

Celery

Do not close your eyes
Don't undraw the curtains
It's been raining blood
Now there's mud on your windows
You left celery bags
And plenty of water
Have you seen gods
Have they already abandoned us
Make sure you're safe
Stay quieter than a mouse
Away from the prying eyes
I'll take care of the rest
I left celery bags
And plenty of water
There shall be no flood
To clean the gutters
Those times have been difficult for us for sure
But I've always stayed by your side in the darkest of hours
And you were there for me too
Every day brings us closer together and there are fewer and fewer obstacles
I've found a job offer for you, have you looked at it?
You will still have to legalize your stay somehow, have you thought about it?
And what should I get you for your birthday?
I've lost track of what you're into these days
Gotta go to sleep
I have to wake up at 6 am tomorrow
I have a certain idea of you in my head, a certain vision of us
And if you fail to comply, at least try not to contradict
Because if you do - it's not just an attack on me
It's an attack on my entire worldview
I have to wake up at 6 am tomorrow
Have you slept?
Hold my hand
Why traverse the oceans?
You're safe here
Why are you so full of fear?
Don't you value our holy haven?
Blend with my words
I deserve you whole
You're safe here
Why are you so full of fury?
The purest of feelings lie
They're tools for proprietary abduction
Only bravest of hearts will find
The pride
To leave celery bags untouched

Trauma

Pull it
Out of your throat
I know you have the courage
There's been enough damage
All of your pain will end in a moment
Even before the day's done dawning
Your trauma stood the test of time
You'd surely be better off blind
Do it
You must endure
You deserve a closure
All of your pain will end in a moment
Long before the day's done dawning
Your trauma survived a lifelong pursuit
You’d surely be better off mute
All of your pain will end in a moment
Long before the day's done dawning
Your trauma let your truth be found
You’d surely be better off gone
All of your tears have already been cried
All of your tears have already been
All of your pain will end
