IRON & STEEL
Iron and steel are all I see
The speed gives in, I have no lead
Waving hands at their demands
Made mine, a will of self command
To them... I've been too fast
Mountains crossed by mouths to surmount
Norms and mores held to account
Irrespective of the flavour and amount
Patterns of a stratum ravel,
Burst in the reaction that it yields
An intimate plane formed by me,
My actions and the fields
Connive with hounds to call someone's bluff
Someone of bark hide and his stuff
Just the land and I was always enough
If I slit your tongue in two
Will it still drip opinions?
And if the antidote were sewn to my sleeve
Could you face oblivion?
I was a fierce, relentless contender
Craving to abscond
My limbs are melting now
And shouting: go!, go!
Iron and steel are all I see
The speed gives in, I have no lead
Waving hands at their demands
Made mine, a will of self command
To them... I speak too fast
If a monster's forced towards a pact
For a man in blocks
It is always comfortable to arrive home
Home
Shattered mirrors in monochrome
I can't discern the railroad back home
Guess I still have some pathways to roam
Don't you think I'm not aware
Of what you have to think about me
Don't you claim that you're okay with it
And give that stare
Just assume that if it's done, it's done for good
I'm given shelter where I stood
Wait to see how I handle my wood
None, it is none of your concern
Who I'll come upon today
Who will shoot a finger to the aperture of my veins
I won't let any other man in my life
Just waste what is mine
And I won't let any other woman alive
Scatter twice my wine
After all, I'm a tenant of my entrails
An animal rolled over for his instincts
My passions are unquenchable
Whenever they revolt
When they revolt
And roar for more and more and more
More of what they've devoured before
I want to be a master
I want to be a master
And figure out all the answers
I want to be a master
One day, I'll be a master
Master of the thunder
On the hunt for the blunders
Master of the thunder
Master of the silence
I'm coming wailing like a siren
No dependence bound or astronomic standard
Iron and steel are all I see
The speed gives in, I have no lead
Waving hands at their demands
Made mine, a will of self command
On them... I always leave a scar
To them... I took it too far

FORMIDABLY
The pluralism of the view puzzles my clocks
You said that one day I would go too
That we are growing older and that's the way it works
Clutching the box in your basket
You'll forsake very soon
I may have told you quite a few times
How much I look up to you
How the skin that lays and hides the clusters
Just shows the tip of all the masters
That found a crack in you and there they grew
Like platinum pieces
The uniqueness of your weaknesses
More than titanic fantasies
So, worrylessly establish there all that you mean
'Cos secrets will be kept between the distance and me
For we shall meet again
Someday, again
Even if my countrified assesment drags me down
I assiduously love the man in this house
And if doubt strikes me I'll light a flare
Just so you know that things are doing well
Formidably
To build your prospects over different grounds
While tainted cords hold me to account
Pouring sand doesn't make a beach
Just a mound of dryness
Like platinum pieces
The uniqueness of your weaknesses
More than titanic fantasies
So, worrylessly establish there all that you mean
'Cos secrets will be kept between the distance and me
For we shall meet again
Someday, again...

THREE DAYS
Three days were all I needed
To cling my stems on you
To question my dreams
To let you loose
Three days were all it took
To unchain me from the rule
Of knowing what I choose
Look how far I've followed you
We lied upon the bed
We touched our hands and fled
From plans and more than these obligations
Our moral ran astray
After a million tales
What is it that rests in your head?
Come into my map, I offered you
The sun came out today
'Cos you were on my way
I have choked on my mind
I have lost my rules
For you to share more than air
And may you hear one day
May you ask one day
I'll be okay
I won't love again
I can't afford it a place again
Over it is, I'll leave it to the wind
And see if he answers me
Three days to my feet I clipped
For your smell to sleep
In the corners of me
Tell me, for your fun, who I'll be
Three days that went unnoticed
I don't remember you now as I used to...
