    EATERS OF DUST


    Earlier like a bird
    I rose up from my nest
    This morning
    Just like decades ago, yesterday, so be today,
    but tomorrow,
    Perhaps, might changed.

    Don't bother lighting the candle
    We're the eaters of dust you used to know
    Our life is the pairs of tattered jeans,
    Smoked engines, dumped outputs
    From the outlaw's land

    Tour around our streets
    Our road is the back of the tortoise
    Said to have fallen and crashed from the towering sky
    In the aged book of fiction
    Where ambush lies every peaceful second.

    Do I need to tell 
    Who the healthy ones are?
    Since fresh blood runs in their vein
    A bank of refined H2O in their bugging pot bellies
    But cholera rumbles our own tummy.

    Since the world is made of streets and oceans
    The butterflies among us 
    Do fly to other streets
    The swimmers crawl through t...

    alone

    It's the worst thing when you ruined your dreams yourself
    Walked away, put your life on the shelf
    In the end it's too late to deal with fate
    Or is it just the dark days that keep you from being great?

    Remembering the victories, the triumphs, the things you have done
    Can they really so easily disappear, fade away like unwritten history, all this time gone?
    You have lost your momentum, you were spoiled from winning and not accustomed to lose
    How many more times does the same mistake need to happen to you?

    Will you ever find out what is right or wrong?
    You thought you had it figured but spring, summer, fall and winter, it's all a different song
    Just when you think all is good, your life is saved and truth is found
    It's shattered to pieces, once more, and you're alone, waiting for love to come back around

    come back

    This is the hardest time without you
    Mixed with memories of a time we hadn't met yet
    But when I had you more than now

    Expecting a day that might never come
    That will allow me to make up for a mistake
    Leaving you when all I wanted was living with you

    How could I ever believe you would leave her for me?
    Seems like that was a case of bad judgement for me
    But I know without you I'll never be free

    But you gave me hope and I'll just trust in you
    For if it were to end now
    All of this would never have happened at all

    home

    The boy I learned to live from
    He was out on the streets
    The city lights' shimmer subliminally but he keeps in the shade
    The only one who could see him, a country girl
    With soft memories of a summer love

    Have you ever seen him since?
    A gambler's heart took him away
    He touched my heart like no one else never can
    Like the sky blue before a ship bound for the sea
    Out of reach, I'll wait on the shore

    Learn to fly and cross oceans
    A morning fresh as the sun reflected in a skyscraper's glass
    The wind blowing his sweet words back to me
    I open the door
    And let him in

    with you

    We haven't been talking for quite some time
    But you, you've been all the time on my mind
    The past is gone, the future to find
    Life's like a record tape and you can't rewind

    What will you do when the golden days are gone?
    Will you still play the Queen when you're alone on your throne?
    Will the forsaken dreams always remain undone
    Or can we revive this affection held back for so long?

    Please tell me without you there won't be as many days
    Ahead for me as the many that made us part ways
    My love, in a daze, you set it ablaze
    And I promise with you it forever stays

    a reality

    See the sun shining and the hillsides so green
    The meadows reflecting the faint morning light
    The lilies they blossom in nature's wide screen
    While the air feels fresh after the clear pristine night

    I love the dewdrops on my bare feet
    Anticipating the summer heat
    But I have to leave this sweet landscape behind
    The blue sky has taken my peace of mind

    This beauty was all I have known for years
    Since I left you, steadfast but torn and in tears
    You gave me the freedom to follow my heart
    I missed you every second we were apart

    I told you I had a promise to keep
    A lifetime ago and a love so deep
    We will close the circle in a perfect agreement
    Keeping my word I knocked out my Demon

    I made a vow to come back to you
    If you ever only still wanted me to
    One last loving look back to the greenfields afar
    Don't wipe off the te...

    a dream

     

    Boy, you're like a dream
    I mean, are you even real?
    For me you're more than perfect
    My heart skips when I look back
    To the days we were together
    Never cared about the weather
    The best life had to offer
    In a rose garden I found a four-leaf clover
    Without you I'm lost, dead and hopeless
    My love without you can't exist I confess
    So don't let me wake up
    In the cold, harsh world, but stay a dream and keep me
    Locked up

    full moon

    There's nothing worse
    Than full moon and you are alone
    When you risk your life for something unsure
    Casually said
    And you cheat on the ones who love you truly
    For treacherous cravings
    Promising you glory in your illustriousness
    Giving you nothing but perfidious setbacks
    When you think you made it
    But then comes the day you evoke your own curse
    When you see you made it worse
    Abolished, defamed, you lost all to deception
    When all you wanted was airy perfection
    But there's nothing worse
    Than full moon
    And you are alone

    pacify her

    My Darling, she's not good for you
    I bet all that she can do
    Is complaining about things you do

    Don't you see that she's no good
    That no way she ever could
    Do the things to you I would

    Can't hide the truth, I'm no good liar
    Quench her whining with my passion's fire
    Do me a favour and just pacify her

    I'll confess and won't pretend
    I really hope that in the end
    You'll switch from her to my boyfriend
