Human 02:56
lowered head, struggling through the crowd apathy – the focus on something that’s too far away the people surround him: approach distance it’s not the cold that blushed their heads: shame to meditate brings barriers and blackouts and yet he needs help. no other way but please no compassionate treatment the gap to them is arranged by you suppressed, overwhelmed and lost «can you understand that they want to be treaded like you? don’t look down, keep your face!» wishes to be eye to eye to interact but not by force «they look asquint at me labeled by now i hope it’s written on the forehead» miserable humanity long way to put a puzzle together with all these parts

sight down to earth. a trance, a regularity of the feed back and forth, scattered thoughts are crushing the mind announcements drilling his ears to keep calm is getting difficult «where’s the fucking switch to turn it off?» always searching for a solution a voice from the far side might be the wrong time to let it come across of an unknown it’s ok to accept help from another sometimes foreign advices brings manifestation stand the pace so please go home, make an effort, have a rest a voice from the far side might be the wrong time to let it come across of an unknown it’s ok to accept help from another sometimes foreign advices brings manifestation with the sound of the alarm he will open his eyes with the rays of the sun he can leave it behind he can admit that sometimes it’s the best to step back and give it time

Rumours 03:39
the social environment is talking behind his back the less they struggle with themselves the more they stare the more they cook up a story but from a distance truth is far away no clue what’s going on rather judging than asking drama and gossip – a thing you shouldn’t call your hobby «with the flow of daily life. we’re getting lazy. entrenched habits. that’s what we are custom that has become law. »give them stories, give them waste it will be accepted with gratitude it will be soaked up with pleasure but from the other side a difference is always reaction a reaction built up of thoughts because the thoughts brought along the bravery to change the bravery the bravery to ignore give them stories, give them waste it will be accepted with gratitude it will be soaked up with pleasure give them more give them what they want. give, give, give rumours – give, never take

Away 02:17
«am i too young?» he asks himself when all gets harder some hopeful words from the inner voice stays out «am i too ingenuous?» self doubt has always been his first reaction. no blame to anybody drifting apart. never seen a beginning, worried about the end an ulcer in the stomach. growing every day, it’s growing every day so where will i bring myself? attention! attention! always be on guard everybody knows best. hell no if you face the light, your shadow falls behind and the own path will be clear. if you won’t, you’ll be hunted by yourself turn back – see the shadow of your former self hate himself:anger toward others not you or you. just the «others» it’s like a dusty cloud of faults, where nothing is clear «never really listen to myself, now it’s time to witness» so where will i i bring myself? attention! attention! always be on guard everybody knows bests. hell no!

Hopeful Eyes 03:37
craving for sensation disregard an old wish face yourself the eyes getting dry a drop of water on the chin the haze evaporates in the sky transient like a lot of things and as he follows his breath he gets a feeling he yearned for «will i pursue this way? will i ever turn?» starring into the sea, starring into this mirror be honest with yourself point of no return starring into the sea, starring into this mirror just himself array the past, arrange the future, lock these chapters take five minutes for yourself every now and then hopeful eyes – hopeful lies

he arrived at the place that he called home once the furniture never moved bad air caught behind these long closed doors the rays painting figures on the wall after the dust is mixed up in the room he is focused on the picture on the wall he is lost in the own past throwback to days when he used to look up to his parents when everything was given and safe retraction was easy being changed by surprise: a new course to go something new, something different something against his odds tells him: this constant isolation changing doubt until it seems like it’s right nobody should suffer my problems i don’t need help nobody should suffer my problems, i am not devastated. i don’t need help there is no escape. life is not always perfect. hark back and realize what you have. what you have accomplished with them. god damn it, share your faults work it out together. from day to day inclusion is a sign of trust, not a sign of weakness maybe you had to run away – look at it from a distance being changed by surprise: a new course to go something new, something different something against his odds tells him: but now i want to go home but now it’s time to go back

overflown with little lies made up – fucked up perfection of it makes him suspicious day in day out everybody is running from a to b from here to there the sad thing about this is the fact that they walk aimlessly a run away – a circle – a drowning hand from behind too slow to notice and when all this is going on, comparisons to the others will be drawn so he pulls himself back stress step back trying to keep those moments dissolve like sand in the hands daily grind edges him away from the center «how will i keep my memories? foreseen tragedy» those lines he read, they will fade away this picture he’s holding in his hand, he dreams away the ones who predict darkened days are the ones who have lost their selves and he learned that some turned away before the glamorous fall so he pulls himself back stress step back trying to keep those moments dissolve like sand in the hands unmasked unwillingly by mother truth

fostering sentences: «i always told you, i always told you he’s too young!» «applause, applause for your never ending support for your wise, positive words» she thinks deafening silence the well known voice in on the radio brings him back to reality «where am i» he muses seconds later he got through the last couple days «what have i done» – shocked by himself surprised by his own bravery a bit proud of it time to doubt yourself for too long he tried to please everybody always giving 100 percent «maybe i expected too much» this emptiness: not everybody likes it this loneliness: not everybody enjoys it somewhere between freedom and thinking about heading home always yearning for her when she is not here «will someone live for nothing? is it even human to expect anything? will someone live for nothing?» time to doubt yourself for too long he tried to please everybody always giving 100 percent «maybe i expected too much» the need to break out of this society not from his family this small path between not changing and improving yourself «improve yourself»

Circles 02:34
there is something, the insecurity, the unexpected end brought by the unknown judging a relapsing circumstance it’s a bliss, an injustice. brought by yourself – impartiality with every new role with every new experience people manage their matters some lose respect doing it more reckless good old tradition versus progression the save way versus the cutoff the cutoff that emphasises itself as a detour the bravery to walk along this patch of trial and tribulation those who stands still will be overtaken those who run will fall searching for the average – don’t be searching for the average – don’t be don’t be average consider everything from scratch consider everything for yourself fear and sloth – falling into a trap never adopt this treacherous voice start the search at yourself all perspectives need to be seen and end it at the same place only this way you have 360 degrees

Gone In Fear 02:11
quest for more every day did he ever have the right to choose? when she found the letter on the kitchen table written with a shaky hand hers getting cold after a touch of stagnation she is back in reality toing and froing – stay and go. but there is the feeling not to interact mingled with angst «will he ever come back?» it seems that like the walls are collapsing suffering pain will bring her closer to herself let her rethink this whole story when they realized that he is gone the rumours started over again some call him coward never really knew why the only one whose who’s allowed to judge is she the surroundings are spinning – on going but she: calm, prepared may be suspected, may be expected the mockery is not far away the only one whose who’s allowed to judge is she may be suspected, may be expected

Return To Be 05:01
carved into the table a luck – it’s wiped out in seconds sounds scary but someone like me needs those lonely nights i learned to face the facts thoughts still whirr through his mind where the wish to move out and move on was his biggest burden this place will always be that home this these members will always be that family nothing was perfect in the beginning neither is anybody perfect all this needs to be work for us not for anybody else sitting in the living room kids never suspected his break the moment where no words are needed maybe can’t be described and as he opens up to her the solution seems not far away he didn’t expect what she said: «look at me look at me to fix everything alone will bring you to that point a second time, i promise look at me to fix everything alone will bring you to that point a second time, i promise you can’t doubt yourself about everything both of us have to work on us there will be days you will hear the words you like there will be days you will hear the words you feared there will be days you will not agree with me there will be days we will move on as one“
