Stone Cold
09:51

I crawl
And curl up in a dark corner
To shield
Me from the pain I bear inside
I let the darkness cover me like a blanket
Hushing me, and rocking me to sleep
As I’m lying here
I’m crying out this all numbing pain
Darkness
Is slowly covering me like a blanket
Crying
While I wish away the cold crystalising pain
I want to lie here with these stones
Curled up in the dark
Waiting for the warmth to reach my heart
Coldness
Is creeping up inside me
My heart
Beats its cold, numbing beat
I want to lie here with these stones
Curled up in the dark
Still waiting for the warmth
Thoughts are racing through my mind
Like memories without a destination
As the deafening voices that form a silent scream
So if you please, could cover my ears?
And calm the storm in my mind
I can’t leave this maelstrom on my own
It’s pulling me
And holding me
This pandemonium of thoughts is choking me
So push and pull at this lump in my throat
I don’t care what it takes
I don’t care if it hurts
If it rips me open
Then cut it out
And let it bleed to cleanse my body and my mind
I am curled up here lying in the dark
My heart still beats its cold and numbing beat
Please, will you join me here between these stones
And, calm the voices screaming in my mind
So, would you kindly tear me open
and return the fire in my heart?
[solo’s]
I lie here curled up , in a dark corner
To shield me from, the pain I bear inside
I can’t go on, with this life any longer
This pain inside me, has numbed all of my feelings
Stay with me.
Curl up with me
So, will you lie here with me?
Under the cover of these stones
Then, would you kindly tear me open
And return, the fire in my heart?

To Ashes

Man:
Sit down and welcome
I invite you to this room
Listen up. Oh, listen well
For it’s important what I tell
Gaze into the mirror
Look deep into your eyes
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
And I behold you
Oh tell me, have you made yourself comfortable?
Please tell me, have you made yourself at ease?
Oh tell me, have you made yourself comfortable?
Girl:
What is this place that I’ve awoken in?
I feel a presence in this room
A voice that is trying to comfort me
But I hear darkness in his tone
A now familiar voice is calling me
He speaks from behind the wall unseen
Fueled with that burning tone of insanity
He fills my heart and mind with rage
There is a bed in this
Eerie room
It doesn't comfort me
As I lie in here
Staring into the darkness of time
Focussing on the clock
deafening
ticking away my time
All I can do is let it slip by
Lying here, forgotten to the world
Like dust collecting on the windowsill
So my time disintegrates
I ask myself...
Why am I here?
As I cling on to the
Life I had
He tries to break my will
With his burning voice
trying to tear my whole world apart
Ripping the threads of my
Consciousness
Trying to flee his grip
But I feel my mind slipping away
Man:
Oh, you know my love
You're the one I need
For I will make you be
Mine eternally!
You will find out that
I can make you
I can break you
Into anything I like
And as I create and mold from clay
I know that there will be a day
From the ashes that I burn
My love will be your urn

Secret Place
11:08
|

[Clarinet & Guitar]
The day gets brighter
As my mood turns to gray
Another day of struggle
Another pain to face
I turn from view
As I close the door behind
Whispering and shouting
And crying to the world
I feel so helpless as I’m
Caught in the web of my life
I feel so helpless on my own
The night gets darker
While I tuck myself to sleep
Take me to my secret place
Where everything is real
In my secret place
I soar above the clouds
Like a seagull in the wind of time
Where life is passing under me
I feel so helpless as I’m
Caught in the web of my life
I feel so helpless on my own
[Saxophone & piano]
As I stand here in my world
Where I cross seas and meadows
and fly high over mountaintops
The flowers bloom and birds sing
Colours and tunes just for me
Here in my world I rule them all
I can fight here
I can win here
And there’s no task I can’t beat
Where I’m mighty
Like a lion
But there is no one here to see
[Solo]
I can fight there
I can win there
And there’s no task I can’t beat
Where I’m mighty
Like a lion
But there is no one there to see
Breaking out of the web,
I will leave my pain behind
I have crossed my seas and meadows,
take up to the sky
Flying through the winds of time
as life passed under me
There, where it’s all real
Breaking out of the web,
leave my secret place behind
I will spread my wings on wide and
take up to the sky
Fight the darkness face the days
There’s no task I can’t beat
Here in the real world
My secret place where
I soar above the clouds
I watch as life passed under me
I think it’s time to land

Start at zero, start with none
A point that’s nowhere has (now) become
A second point found to combine
Dimension one – connecting line
Multiplication, from one to four
Created outwards from within the core
Length and width can be compared
When lines expand into a square
Free those lines, from where they grew
Rise in height for a real in-depth view
Length (and) width and height in curves
Three dimensions of a visible world
Past to future – mere variation
The fourth dimension of spatial duration
Compressed again into a line
Forming a maze called time
Past the fourth plane of being
As if shattering a mirror
Through choices that were made
Passing what was hoped for
Histories are fractured
Identities lie scattered
Decisions are coalesced where…
divergence is reflected
From within five dimensions
Into the sixth perspective
Divided and undetected
Remaining, still connected
Spiral into a singularity…
of reality – one infinity
Seven dimensional framework
Design of a universe
Drifting away into a place
Where wildest dreams collide and hide
Beyond the borderlines of nature
Into a multiverse of insight
Breaking rules, dividing laws
Past barriers of imagination
Nothing seems real nor strange...
...in the eighth and ninth dimension
Ten dimensional directions
Wherein everything resides
An omnipresent succession
Where all reality unites
Singular timeless awakening
A quantum symphony of being
Harmonic paradigms of creation
Eternal God-like perfection

White

Part 1 - Setting the scenery:
Flakes flutter to the ground
Silencing the night
Turning the world around me
Slowly, very slowly
Into an innocent scenery
Covering the ground
Like a carpet of white
Part 2 - Running from the nightmare:
Muffled sounds in the undergrowth
It feels like the forest is watching me
What causes this feeling of anxiety?
Is something chasing me?
But the tracks…
But the tracks…
A glimmer in the darkness
Piercing in my back
A feeling of unease inside
Is there something watching me?
A silent fear creeps over me
I run, keep looking back
To get a glance of what is there
Trying to flee from what haunts me
In this moonlit white night
I’m trying to find my way
Out of the darkness
But the tracks…
But the tracks… Keep betraying me
Will this be the scene of my demise?
Part 3 - Reconciliation:
Still the flakes flutter
Falling gently on my face
Like a cold kiss of death
Putting me under a carpet of white
White, I see white
White, I feel white
Part 4 - Fighting the fear:
Slowly closing in
I feel the grasp of darkness
Red stains on white tapestry
I curse on this white scenery
White is the colour that I feel
White
Pain, oh I hurt
I want to close my eyes
White is the colour that I see
White
White is the colour that I feel
White
Tired of the fear
Afraid of what is to come
I don’t want to fight
Anymore…
Part 5 - Closure:
While the flakes still flutter
The world turns around me
Very slowy I close my eyes
And all that surrounds me is…
White

Breathe

I lie in bed and close my eyes
And focus on your breath
That warms up my skin
Your shoulder gently moves
And makes the cover whisper (to me)
I lie in bed and close my eyes
And listen to the beating of your heart
The sound of a gentle thump
Just for me
I lie in bed and open my eyes
As I touch the golden morning light
Following the flakes
Flutter on your pale white skin
I lie in bed and open my eyes
Look deep into your dark brown eyes
As they smile to me
I let me drown into your soul
And I try to find
Every endearing thought
Every endearing memory
you gave to me
I lie in bed
And close my eyes
A flush of tears that burns behind
As the covers of the bed stop whispering
I hold you close...
