Rewind
_______________________
no matter how i try
everything seems out of reach
when nothing's behind
who am i
sometimes i feel like
i need to rewind
oh, wait
wait for me
looking back on empty tracks
i am stuck in a blind alley
wondering if i went wrong
can i turn to different ways
nothing's alright
who am i
sometimes i feel like
i need to rewind
oh, far away
far away
oh, wait
wait for me
when nothing's behind
who am i
who am
i

Sky/Ocean
_______________________
so calm is the sight
all points of reference fade
the silence i seek, i want to believe
a deafening, numbing relief
heavens and ground, melting ínto one sea
the words i can't say, i tried to explain
i'm searching and gauging in vain
take you with me to the ocean of grief
carry me away and my sorrows allay
we're drawing near to an ocean of fear
and a looming sky is driving me to hide
a lucent veil of leveling grey
horizon obscured
all distinctions dissolve
the comfort i feel
in nature surreal
oh what will my senses reveal
so calm is the sight
i lose myself in this sea
the silence i've found
that ties and surrounds
and all of my visions resound
take me above
to the ocean of love
skies over me
and motion of leaves
the fall is deep
to the ocean of sleep
a sky of streams
and the notion of dreams
the eye of the storm
makes me feel safe
losing my form
in a wave

Concept Of Never
_______________________
as i remember
time
will keep on going
i feel its gentle waves
if fire's behind
don't turn your head
don't let the madness come for you
we watch it from afar
we were and now we are
where memories may lie
the past is out of sight
always been so close
but never seemed to reach
i've set myself adrift
a choice to feel
a distance to find
as lore and predictions and hopes and the cards will lie
we're stranded on a shore
we feel but we don't know
the parts will never fit
how ever hard you try
heartland
constantly driven by immanent fire
parted
walking a tightrope of interconnection
follow
we float forever
the dream's not over
we stumble, eyes closed
into a concept of never

Crystals
_______________________
a thousand mirrored crystal eyes watching
i know the crystal vases
become unimportant
once they are broken
i've seen the shiny vessels
revered and celebrated
turning to crumbs and dust
carry
carry
and never
get carried away
i heard the hollow phrases
meander and expire
in the face of graveyard peace
bury
bury
the dead
memories
i watched the fancy-dresses
reveal the true dimensions
of golden modesty
vary
vary
and always
ground yourself
looking back
clap the claque
a thousand mirrored crystal eyes
crystallise

One Of Us
_______________________
come
stay
here
hold
mind
fear
seize the day
afraid of waking up alone
and you won't be near
in the middle of nowhere
of a rushing world
keep
time
nothing
solidified
dreams in stone
under greener grass
unknown, we grow
together we
blend apart
here's a note
from the heart
seen the nameless
show me your light
once again
let me hold it
caring
bathing in the rain
unaware of night and day
thankful and proud
so full of doubt
longing
after the storm
lives are raging on
anchored in will
echoes are filled with
bearing
some of us evade
some of us just flow away
both of us do know
where we all will follow
one of us to blame
one of us to stay awake
one of us to wait
to face the rain

The Big Picture
_______________________
i came to you
completely lost in tears
but don't you mind
it's just a moment in time
that i saw
the big coloured sky
and couldn't hold
the stories that unfold
the aches of minds of walls of frontiers they find
reflecting back through the eyes to the hearts of fools
us fools

moon shining bright
grander than ever
whom does he light
in tender endeavour
don't worry now
you will never know
be it just so
out in the wild
shadows and vapour
clouds hurry by
where do they head for
don't worry now
you will never know
whither they go
blue hour's ark
flames in the cold night
fume and the sparks
hailing the starlight
fire and eyes
glow in the darkness
fairly unite
flow in catharsis

For The Love
_______________________
for people like you
for the lost
for the love
and the hidden
treasures unknown
not wanting to know
a kiss in the wind
a head full of hopes
it's for you
just for you
in the light of empty space
you face the dark
in the cold of nothingness
you warm my heart
for people like you
for the love
it's for you
just for you

Shining On
_______________________
this sadness
never left us
in the smiles
of tomorrow
got its claws
in our souls
since we know
of come and go
all the joys
seem so precious
all it fails
in an instant
for the rest
of our days
we will sing
shining on
