I Am A Supernova

Panic festers when the motion’s speeding up
It’s been a real tough effort
Short on expertise, they’re running out of energy
Not the defiant ones I’ll be
The world is doped with surprises
Every lid, every can
A perspective so welcome
Look, I tend to be easily enticed
By someone else’s diagram
Every time I wake up
Staring into space-time
When the clouds show up to surround
Hiding the towers’ tops
Swinging head to head around the rounded planet
When the frost has fallen
And there’s little left to see
I could ride a monumental crow across the sky
I am a supernova, bursting out
And spreading germ for newness
May I borrow a browkiss invitation
Full of interventions?
Night and day, to behold what you say
Incorporating you ‘til our organs fuse
Enlivening the very peace
The very pieces of the skies
And making it tremble with light
It’s lively, it’s fortunate
It’s wonderful, it’s happiness.
You’re my luck-friend
You’re my blind shot into the air
When the clouds show up to surround
Hiding the towers’ tops
Swinging head to head around the rounded planet
When the frost has fallen
And there’s little left to see
I could ride a monumental crow across the sky
I am a supernova, bursting out
The medallion’s got your name
And you know who really cares
You’ve got so far
Now the choice is in your hands
And the doors will collapse
Rendering your recklessness
When the clouds show up to surround
Hiding the towers’ tops
When the frost has fallen
And there’s little left to see
I could ride a monumental crow across the sky
I am a supernova, bursting out and shining bright
Bursting out and spreading germ for newness

Overnight Raconteurs

Hold your ground on the earth below
Showered by light
Currents tend to unannouncedly modify their patterns
Not to provoke my insecurity, of that I’m sure
Trying to adjust, I am trying to adjust the gears
Before I get too lost
And you arrived with the solstice and your scars
Only one sign of danger was enough to have you on alert
I’ll lay my loads all over you
Hold your ground on the earth below
Showered by light
As the symbols rush around our stack of words
Is it a trick of ambivalence
Triggered by an invisible resonance?
Do you see it?
It’s a never-ending turn for those sailing alone
Until someone overtakes to shake your milestones
I listened real carefully and I thought I was you
Because you entered my machinery
And stoked what others cannot see
Could it be there’s some northern star guiding me
Whenever I’m in need of it?
And through your eyes I see the child you keep inside
Standing out like a special emerald
On a guiltless moor
Now, lay your loads all over me.
Hold your ground on the earth below
Showered by light
As the symbols rush around our stack of words
Is it a trick of ambivalence
Triggered by an invisible resonance?
Do you see it?
It’s a never-ending turn for those sailing alone
Until someone overtakes to shake your milestones
Overnight raconteurs
Just carry on, the rest is wrong
Hold your ground on the earth below
Showered by light
It’s a never-ending turn for those sailing alone
Until someone overtakes to shake your milestones
To shake your milestones.

Sentry On Alert
03:28
|

Comfort is a concept out of reach for you
Once gripped by the moment
We should sit down and lay our truths
It’s ashaming our perspectives involve a clash
But I won’t hold back and meet your demands
Played the role, you played the role perfectly
Plundering my treasures, miraculous revenge
My life’s not yours to be used by you
So, if you flip the cards at your might
Do it at your own peril before me
And I just feel like I’m drowning
Making it up with silence
Blowing in your face when you put me to the test
Like I’m evicting your hunger
Hunger for applause
Too enthralled to see a sentry on alert needs sleep
Swim ahead through the flotsam
Through the pillars and balustrades
I guess I’m at my best
When bringing others’ wrongs out.
But I’m not the best, I am a beast
I’ll take everything I need
While you pity the girls
Those that stood you up
Dreading your luck while lacking the pluck
And I just feel like I’m drowning
Making it up with silence
Blowing in your face when you put me to the test
Like I’m evicting your hunger
Hunger for applause
Too enthralled to see a sentry on alert needs sleep
Like a Finnish tree
Paradoxically cut with fire
By your own cold sword
Now I know what to do
And I just feel like I’m drowning
Making it up with silence
And I just feel like I’m drowning
Feel like I’m drowning
Making it up with silence
I just feel like I’m drowning
Making it up with silence
Mine is a scar of permanent scratch
And forever you’ll scratch that scar of mine
Like I’m evicting your hunger
Hunger for applause
And I just feel like I’m drowning
I feel like I’m drowning
Mine is a scar of permanent scratch
And forever you’ll scratch that scar of mine

They ask me:
“Why can you love so hard
If you don’t know what love is all about?
Remember we’re years ahead
And you’ve only just begun”
I know I’m alien to the storm
But you’re my brethren, not my foe
Must I then emboss it on my reverent bow?
Every hallway hides a ghost
But no, I don’t think I’m going to fall
“Listen: love is what you chip in for to be cruel”
When I was nine I wasn’t critical, not at all.
When I was nine tomorrow was defined
And for every wound I had a name
“Love is what you chip in for to be cruel”
Sing it altogether
Say it loud as ever
Mean it for forever
A clover asking heaven:
“Stay injuries forever?”
On a mattress to Australia
Blending alone with the blue…
Tattooed those mantras, I’m no joke
I’m a riveting cobblestone
Our plasticine parade of circumstances seems enough
Shallow waters are no more
A mesmerizing platform
Just a hydrophilic comeuppance
Of what I’m going to be
Detrimental depth will pay off
No, I don’t think you’ll break my fall
“Listen to my words, ‘cause they come with truth”
Then I grew up, my speaker vaporised in the crowd
Then I grew up refusing to grow up
And for every wrong I had to pay
Love is what I chipped in for to be cruel
That horse is weak as far as I’m told
Born the zealous kind, I prepare for the ride
Love is cruel, I reckon
Tortuous and dishevelled
This I will remember:
Love is what you chip in for to be cruel
Love is what I chipped in for to be cruel
Love is that I’ll hardly learn to hold

Tree Moth

In the mirror they found themselves
Sliding their fingers, caressing their heads
They retrieved their stories
Static curse, blindfold
‘Till the sunrise unleashes the force
It’s not how the movies promised
Right towards the end
Sitting on her favourite chair
She meets the blow again
But no one hears, but no one hears
No one hears
But they don’t live, they just survive
And surviving has become a standard
On the dinette table
I caught a butterfly
Between the gingham and a jar of glass
At the light of a wintry picture outside
Of empty branches
Now I’m just a tree moth
Hanging down a log at night
Burning in the bonfire for the warmth
Up I face a wall
As if staring at a landscape
Though I fade too soon, like the moon
Through the jar, through my eyes feeding frost
Fashioning futures of lies yet to come
Don’t flap your velvety wings no more
Don’t fear, you’re safe with me
‘Till you’re drawn to the judgement of truth
I thought I could retain springs
Preventing them from passing by
Flowers don’t grow in this wasteland
Only empty branches
Now I’m just a tree moth
Hanging down a log at night
Burning in the bonfire for the warmth
Certain of the flame
Between the matter and the energy
Forming all the shapes I see
Don’t you let me go to the lantern…
