It′s like Cream but not the Wu so you don′t know what to do She′s like a witch of trouble in electric blue And if you don′t watch out she′ll get to you Piercing through emotional armor like when you do voodoo She sits on her throne of lost souls My thoughts roam the coast of insanity in schoals I brag and boast but I will never ever get to her, no hope Deep in my mind′s the cure for the illness waiting in the shadows
I used to be afraid, living on a razor blade Came toe to toe with nemesis it left my mind unscathed All I wanted was to bathe in the rays of eternity All of the sudden wasn′t one thing bothering me That was when she materialized line after line The past became the high time I remember pushing forward breaking out of confines But I never knew the truth in her sighs After her theft one is left with piles of ash She got me good, my life was in tatters and rags Too many intentions to mention thrashed Suffocated in those plastic bags at last yeahh
Meanwhile fools run high and low she smiles cruelly hosts Imaginary shows the voice of solitude bellows She′s not my type why I want her every night no one knows I unfocus loose sight of the material forget the spiritual My mind is in a black hole no way out some would say I chose Consciously obviously not I didn′t deliberately get caught in her plots and what not Reefr Kid and Kuri closin′ up
Earliest days, in calm and misty dawn I can reach so far above my head with my height. And I feel fit for fight, With my pace I break out the light, And the cool wind strengthens me to walk on by.
But, so far beyond my pace, I watch you run over and make me feel foreign inside. And don’t ever call again I want seven undone days. A revolt of my force inside.
Thoughtful, early autumn-days, a chestnut in my palm as I open my lover’s eyes to see if they still shine. Though I feel fit for fight, and my pace can break out the light, I need more to make me feel all right.
Yesterday my troubles seemed so far away And now there’s nothing left to do but watch the choices slip away And all the voices ricochet – our conversation disappears In recrimination – voices ricochet – they’re just Words in the distance, like birds inside my head, and The water runs red – you’re a Stone on the windscreen, you shatter the world ahead
Voices ricochet – you can picture a big ‘thirteen’, try to extinguish me Relinquish me from the damage It’s only mortality… It’s the echoes of carnage Now the view is all tarnished – the rest is just wreckage The sky’s a varnish, furnished with thoughts of flight And the pain still visible in light and sound and sight
Dismiss the sky – voices ricochet
Grip is precarious There’s various ways the path of truth can bury us Too many variables, too much chit-chat Too much of this and that Too much zig-zag, yin yang, yak yak
I’m all right, Jack, pull up the plank, I’m aboard Fall on your sword – a humming repetitive Feels like a sedative, nerves are the last to decay Don’t worry, it’ll fade away
Voices ricochet – our conversation disappears In recrimination – voices ricochet – they’re just Words in the distance, like birds inside my head
And all the manacles that bind, the pinnacles you climb To the background of a cynical ‘who’ and ‘what’ and ‘why’ And ‘why not?’ ‘Scuse me while I dismiss the sky
History is just beginning It’s like leaves creating a canopy And, woven in the tapestry, my testimony A ceremony of souls, a symphony of sounds of sounds and forms A cacophony – I’ll keep that energy
I’ll keep that energy flowing through the whole range of me So you can focus on the rage in me And my obituary? Well, I’m re-writing it every second, every century Well, I’m re-writing it
I don’t know why you fail me I don’t know how you dare Stay calm now Stay calm
I don’t know why you call me I don’t know what you want from me
Ricochet Voices My trouble seems like distant dreams My troubles seem so far away Yesterday It all seems like distant dreams My troubles seemed so far away
I don’t know why you miss me I don’t know what you want from me Stay calm now Stay calm
I don’t know why you call me I don’t know what you want from me
Stuck in a hard place in the middle, walking on coals Caught in holes, sorting the souls like the Sphinx and the riddle Your invisible ripples surround me little by little
He’s my only saviour Living in a stateless zone Searching for an answer Everywhere he goes
Widening circles, the surface a living, physical mirror Connecting fire with the fever, reflecting, I’m a believer Let the whispers enfold you, pull you nearer and nearer Little by little
He’s my only saviour Standing in a stateless zone Waiting for the answer Frozen to the bone
So long for now, I will take what you said and did, and fold it all around my heart So calm for now, But I feel unrest working in my spine (One blow in the nape of my neck, A hot kiss)
So long for now, I know you must be leaving, But I hope to see you safe again I’ll try to follow my curve, Wherever it might lead
So long for now, I will keep it all, and fold around my heart So deep the earth breathes, Through winter’s cold She must fold Around her heart.
I was all alone, going for a ride Travelling solo, off my guard I had to follow this calling from the wild Into the shadows Into the shadows of my heart
I needed all my strength to Stand up to your agenda I said it, I said it again I never wanna become Stuck in your machine I said it, I said it again
Come and dance, come
And as I moved on, thought I’d blow my mind But as it turned out, I was wrong I met my sorrow, saw her in the eyes She tried my courage She tried my courage, but left me stronger
(You better stand up straight and you gotta be strong You gotta fight for your right and reclaim your own song)
I needed all my strength to Stand up to your agenda I said it, I said it again I never wanna become Stuck in your machine I said it, I said it again
The floor you walk on is smooth. There is no ground there. Magic begins with blood. Outside, there are trees, With concrete under their roots. But I have passed the tombs of kings, Regaled them with pacing, checked bins for food and wrappings. I have scoured the seas for miles, cloaked my face with ash. My fingertips opening, accepting my time.
The dark cylinders of half-smoked cigarettes For me, I′m your sorrow Calling in your dreams For me, I′m your shadow Howling in the streets
Tomorrow, I will walk the streets And steel myself for the familiar. Your eyes Will not settle, a hunger. You′d be happier in your grave. When we meet, share stories, you stretch me. I see, I see a semi-circle of teeth.
The dark cylinders of half-smoked cigarettes For me, I′m your sorrow Calling in your dreams For me, I′m your shadow Howling in the streets
