Stargazer

Part the clouds with your thoughts,
Look into space through a telescope,
Ask the stars to make a choice for you,
If you dont approve, of what the voice,
in your head says, you're free to go for now,
I give up the chase,
I give up the chase.

The open road or a simple life,
Which way to go, you decide,
I wont interfere anymore,
Live out your dreams, fulfill your ambitions,
But do not ask me, to keep my arms open,
Or close my eyes and ears,
And leave this beating heart in neutral,
Until you return.

Consult the psychics and see their visions,
Trust a tarrot card reader to tell you, your fortune,
Log in to facebook and answer the questions, on the quizzes,
Does he really care for me? When will we become mr and mrs?
Don't believe in destiny, as shown in movies or books,
It made a fool of you and me,
Our world is small, but our land divided,
We're with eachother and yet apart.

Chance encounters falling from the sky,
The two souls brought together were you and I,
We felt the red hot love, light up our disbelief,
Then the smoke appeared, and I saw you leave,
So do not ask me, to keep my arms open,
Or close my eyes and ears,
And leave this beating heart in neutral,
Until you return.

Part the clouds with your thoughts,
Look into space through a telescope,
Ask the stars to make a choice for you,
If you dont approve, of what the voice,
in your head says, you're free to go for now,
I give up the chase,
I give up the chase.

But do not ask me, to keep my arms open,
Or close my eyes and ears,
And leave this beating heart in neutral,
Until you return,
I've given up the chase.

Knock on my door, death.

Knock on my door, death,
Take me up, to a higher place,
Up in the clouds, death,
Where the angels play.

Hear my call, death,
Let me out, of this iron cage,
The collar on my neck, death,
The needles in my veins,
I cant move, I cant feel a thing,
Take me up to a higher place.

Knock on my door, death,
You're my saving grace,
These pills i take,
The potions they make me drink,
To feel alive is to feel no pain.

Knock on my door, death,
But tread silently into the room,
And if you must, whisper my name,
For she has just fallen asleep.

Dont you wake her up, death,
She believes,
She believes,
It's all a dream.

She believes,
She believes,
It's all a dream.

Beautiful Forever

She takes for granted her beautiful face,
Controls the elements with her embrace,
She's showered with gifts from the rain,
And never bothered by a stray gust of wind,
The earth supports her through her difficult times,
While the sun romances her with fiery lines.
But look out the beauty is fading,
Now she's bending backwards,
Ashamed of her sins.

Oh what news does the hummingbird bring?
My, my, it seems the bees have stopped their buzzing,
All her precious gold has been taken away,
Yes, She's spread accross the land,
Faster than the plague.
No more miss innocent,
She's been dressed down to a naked stem.

I wonder how she could believe,
That what she sees,
When she looks into a mirror,
Could last,
Oh Could last,
Forever.

She takes for granted her beautiful face,
Make enemies with the ego she displays,
All are jealous of the attention she gets,
I've heard her friends plotting for revenge,
She assumes her name makes the headlines,
She assumes that those who dont stop and stare, must be blind,
They must be blind,
They must be blind.

Burst out of your bubble, woman,
Keep silent so you can listen to yourself.
You wont find love if you insist you're better than everyone else.

Let's take a page out of human stories,
A lesser known fact is that, fear equates to happiness,
That's why the over confident dont stand up straight,
Yes, they're afraid of loosing their balance and falling to the floor.
Take my word, If you dont expect to receive,
You will get more than you can ask for.

I wonder how she could believe,
That what she sees,
When she looks into a mirror,
Could last,
Could last,
Oh Could last,
Forever.

Tonight

If I could hold you,
Just for tonight,
Birds watching,
As butterflies take their flight.
All around us they fly,
Everything disappears, but you and I.

If I could dream you,
Just for tonight,
I'd become friends with the moon,
And sing him lullabies,
Pray he never wakes,
Tomorrow doesnt come,
Until the very end,
I'll try to keep away the sun.

And Just for tonight,
You'll be mine.
Just for tonight,
You'll be mine.

If I could speak to you,
Just for tonight,
I'd loose the poetry,
Forget my english degree,
Oh I'll speak from my heart and confess,
That I did what i did to impress, you.

If I were to see you,
Just for tonight,
You may hear flashes,
Coming from my eyes,
As I capture you in my mind,
We may never meet again,
This maybe the only time.

And Just for tonight,
You'll be mine.
Just for tonight,
You'll be mine.

Happiness

I miscalculated our time together,
Punched in numbers of years,
That meant we'd last forvever,
And so I failed the exam, that fate set for us,
I lost love again in the pursuit of lust.

There goes another shot at happiness,
Its taken off like a rocket into space,
There goes another shot at happiness,
Bye bye, farewell, for you'll be missed.

I didn't appreciate you as much,
When I had you there with me,
I took pleasure in company,
I left you at home lonely,
And so I failed the exam, that fate set for us,
I lost love again in the pursuit of lust.




There goes another shot at happiness,
Its taken off like a rocket into space,
There goes another shot at happiness,
Bye bye, farewell, for you'll be missed.

I wish i'd spent more time learning about you,
So many questions left unanswered,
I cant decide between whats false and true,
I can see why you would want,
better than what I gave to you,
And so I failed the exam, that faith set for us,
I lost love again in the pursuit of lust.

There goes my last shot at happiness,
It disappeared in the dark, without a trace,
There goes my last shot at happiness,
Bye bye, farewell, for you'll be missed.

Make You Mine

Maybe its over,
Maybe I read too much into you,
Maybe its over,
And yet I dont regret telling you,
How could i?
When loving you is all i know to do.
Maybe its over for you,
But not for me.

I'm going to make you mine,
I'm going to make you mine,
I'm going to make you mine,
Someday.

Maybe its over,
Maybe we forget the rules this once,
Maybe its over,
And I provide a smile when you're down,
Or a shoulder to lean on.
Just because you're taken,
Doesnt mean we cant be together anymore.
Maybe its over for you,
But not for me.

I'm going to make you mine,
I'm going to make you mine,
I'm going to make you mine,
Someday.

I'm going to make you mine,
I'm going to make you mine,
I'm going to make you mine,
Someday.

Love and War

Her eyes,
Light up the moon,
Light up the moon,
In the afternoon.
I'm awake but I keep dreaming,
I keep dreaming of her with me.

Her lips,
They're worth a kiss,
They're worth a kiss,
But I dont dare to be,
The one who kisses them.

I've seen.
How the boys fall,
How she reduces them to puddles,
On the floor,
On the floor,
Lies another casualty of love and war.


Her laugh,
Like ecstasy,
Like ecstasy,
Working its magic in me.
She's a drug, no she's a revelation,
Some sort of potent concoction,
That makes my heart beat faster.




Her touch,
Can warm a soul,
Can warm a soul,
But I dont dare to be,
The one who holds her hand.

I've seen.
How the boys fall,
How she reduces them to puddles,
On the floor,
On the floor,
Lies another casualty of love and war.

On the floor,
On the floor,
Someone save me before she takes one more.

Ordinary Days - In english

I'm standing on building ledges,
I'm leaning outside my windowsill,
I'm walking city streets at night,
Ignoring the right or left,
I'm searching for purpose in traffic.
You see, the world is moving on,
But I'm still five steps behind everyone,
I'm still five steps behind everyone.
People say to put the past behind,
But I'm still convinced that you're the one,
I'm still convinced that you're the one.

And now my life hangs in the balance because of you,
I've surrendered my mind and soul to be with you,
I want to feel again, what I felt with you.
All the joy, all the pain, all the excitement you'd bring to my life.
(Its so ordinary without you.) x2
(Its so ordinary without you.) x2

I'm playing with fire,
I'm getting high on desire,
I'm drowing in alcohol,
The chemicals they take me way, from ordinary days.
With their help I hallucinate, and imagine your face.
You see, the letters say you're gone,
But I'm still five steps behind everyone,
I'm still five steps behind everyone.
People say to put the past behind,
But I'm still convinced that you're the one,
I'm still convinced that you're the one.

And now my life hangs in the balance because of you,
I've surrendered my mind and soul to be with you,
I want to feel again, what I felt with you.
All the joy, all the pain, all the excitement you'd bring to my life.
(It's so ordinary without you.) x2
(Its so ordinary without you.) x2

Giorni ordinari (Ordinary Days)

Sto sopra i cornicioni degli edifici
Sto aggrappata al davanzale della mia finestra
Cammino per le strade della città di notte,
Ignorando la destra o la sinistra,
sto cercando uno scopo/un obiettivo nel traffico,
Vedi, il mondo continua a girare( continua a muoversi)
Ma io sono ancora 5 passi indietro a tutti
sono ancora 5 passi indietro a tutti.
La gente dice di lasciare il passato alle spalle,
Ma io sono ancora convinta che tu sia l'unico
Sono ancora convinta che tu sia l'unico.







E ora la mia vita è in bilico per via di te
Mi sono arresa alla mia mente e dovrei stare con te
Voglio provare di nuovo, quello che ho provato con te
Tutta la gioia, tutto il dolore, tutta l'emozione che tu hai donato alla mia vita.
( E' così ordinario senza te. )x 2
( E' così ordinario senza te. )x 2

Sto giocando con il fuoco,
Il mio desiderio si accende,
Sto affogando nell'alcohol,
I medicinali mi portano via, dai giorni comuni.
Con il loro aiuto ho le visioni, e immagino il tuo viso.
vedi, le lettere dicono che tu te ne sei andato
Ma io sono ancora 5 passi dietro a tutti
sono ancora 5 passi dietro a tutti.
la gente dice di lasciare il passato alle spalle
ma io sono ancora convinta che tu sia l'unico
sono ancora convinta che tu sia l'unico.

e ora la mia vita è in bilico per via di te/ per causa tua
Mi sono arresa alla mia mente e dovrei stare con te,
Voglio provare di nuovo,quello che ho provato con te
tutta la gioia, tutto il dolore, tutta l'emozione che tu hai donato alla mia vita
( E' così ordinario senza te. ) x2
( E' così ordinario senza te. ) x2

Parachute me down

Parachute me down please,
Down to the ground please,
For I'am afraid of heights,
I'am afraid up of being up there in clouds.
In dreamland the fall is greater,
Than the show our imagination puts on.

Parachute me down please,
Down to the ground please,
For I'am afraid of heights,
I'am afraid up of being up there in clouds.
Its a kaleidoscope world,
With bright lights flashing all around.

Yes.

I've been fooled before, fooled by my mind.
I've been fooled before, fooled by my eyes.
I've seen things before, that really arent mine.
I've fallen in this trap of yours, time after time.









Parachute me down please,
Down to the ground please,
For I'am afraid of heights,
I'am afraid up of being up there in clouds.
In dreamland the fall is greater,
Than the show our imagination puts on.

Parachute me down please,
Down to the ground please,
For I'am afraid of heights,
I dont want to be up there in clouds.

Tibet here I come!

I've decided to take a break from Writing and make a trip to tibet and the himalaya's in the hope of finding some inspiration for a couple of new songs I'm working on :D So I'll be posting some new material soon and some very interesting songs as well next month but for now I leave you with this beautiful quote I happened upon....

“"When I was a child, ladies and gentleman, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that: "Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bed -- without a song." So I keep singing my song."” - Elvis Presley

When will we be found

Remember summer?
The stars were sleeping,
No one, guarding the nightfall,
When they woke,
They woke to, late october,
When the end, had come before the fall.
We are falling,
Yes, Our hands are slipping,
You can't hold on anymore.
You feel its time to let me go.

Winter approaches,
The earth's confused,
It rejects reality,
The Sky feels used,
It's lost its Identity.
And all is white.
Colours faded in the ground.
When will we be found.
When will we be found.

I feel the breeze,
I know that you are pushing me away,
I want to stay,
But you dont want me to stay.
I'll walk the cold,
I know that you have had me replaced,
I'll stand in place,
I wont bring you disgrace.
We've been buried in the snow.
We're in too deep, to let the past go.

Winter approaches,
The earth's confused,
It rejects reality,
The Sky feels used,
It's lost its Identity.
And all is white.
Colours faded in the ground.
When will we be found.
When will we be found

When will we be found.
When will we be found..

Sandcastles in the sky

You're infatuated with a man,
That isnt me.
You're infatuated with a man,
Thats make believe.

You're in your own little world,
While I'm lost in space,
You see me as something I'm not,
You dont even recognize my face.

Stop building, sandcastles in the sky,
You gotta fly yourself, back down to earth,
Embrace the truth,dig your hands in dirt,
This is how we both rose,
This is the path I thought you chose.

You've got his posters on your walls,
You're say your done, but still involved,
Secretly you wish I would be him.
You're so used to vampire tales,
Dressed up fairy tales,
Now you assume you know what love is.

Stop building, sandcastles in the sky,
You gotta fly yourself, back down to earth,
Embrace the truth,dig your hands in dirt,
This is how we both rose,
This is what i miss the most.

No more, living up to expectations,
I, have to find my own direction.
I wanna be free, I wanna be me.
I wanna be free, I wanna be me.

Stop building, sandcastles in the sky,
You gotta fly yourself, back down to earth,
Embrace the truth,dig your hands in dirt,
This is how we both rose,
This why I oppose, what you believe.

Faces in the walls

Some people search in mirrors,
All they find is themselves,
starring back their way.
Some people search in mirrors,
Their mind is up for sale,
Their bodies on display.

But I look to the walls.
My blank sheet of paper.
No you, cant see inside you.
Well, who would want to?
When you could liberate,
Your imagination.
Let freedom reign over creativity.
Next thing you know,
You'll be holding up a grammy.

I find faces in the walls,
People I've, never seen before,
That are inside me.

I find faces in the walls,
People I've, never seen before,
That are inside me.

Look past the world.
And you'd see, more than what,
You're supposed to see.
Look past the world.
You'd see, not one, not two
You'd see a million possibilities.

Why close your mind?
Why do as your told?
The time has come,
For you to take control.
Forget Society.
You can be, more than they say.
You can be a different person,
Come tomorrow or today.

Call me crazy, Lock me up,
Throw away the key or believe in me.

I find faces in the walls,
People I've, never seen before,
That are inside me.

I find faces in the walls,
People I've, never seen before,
That are inside me.



If you havent read the story, Yellow Wallpaper might I suggest reading it, its inspiring :)

Romantically Challenged

What happens when a cynic meets a romantic....

You see the world through your eyes,
How bout seein it through mine.

You see dark skies above,
I see a candlelit love.

You see empty fields of green,
I see a place to plant our dreams.

Ooh you see snow in the driveway,
And I see another reason, for me to stay.

Take a'lil look closer and you'll see,
I dont plan on going anywhere,
Unless, you're coming with me.


Take a'lil look closer and you'll see,
That you're the only thing that is constant,
In a world that keeps changing,
All around me.

You see the world through your eyes,
How bout seein it through mine.

You see a text on your phone,
I see me scared to be alone.

You see a closet full of shoes,
I see my journeys with you.

Ooh you see the end of sex in the city,
And I see mr big finally getting carey.

Take a'lil look closer and you'll see,
I wanna spend all my days with you,
Its the only chance I get, to be me.

Take a'lil look closer and you'll see,
We are perfect together,
Wouldn't you agree?
Wouldn't you agree?

Storybook eyes

When I look into your storybook eyes,
I do my best to analyse,
All the feelings that I have for you,
All the feelings that I covered with lies.

(Baby with me, its gotta be you,
Baby with me, its gotta be you...)

I know, I may not say much to you,
eventhough this love is true,
Maybe I dont know the way you feel,
and I'm waiting on you to reveal.



The truth is I've tried so many times,
to come clean and make you mine,
but each time i take that chance,
somehow i cant advance....

I dont know what words to use,
Simple words that you'd never refuse,
My heart, its confused and dazed,
all the red turned into to grey.

When I look into your storybook eyes,
Will you see right through my disguise?
Let me change your mind, take your hand,
So there's no more goodbyes....

(Baby with me, its gotta be you,
Baby with me, its gotta be you...)

Oh When I look into your storybook eyes,
I'd read every chapter, learn each line,
so I can try and find a clear sign,
that we were meant to be,
I was a character in your story.

(Baby with me, its gotta be you,
Baby with me, its gotta be you...)

Hope you like the songs I've posted so far. My website is up in coming and should be completed soon. When its ready i'll be putting up some of my material and mp3's for everyone to listen to before "the sweet sound of silence", my debut album is officially released. If you'd like to know more just drop me comment on here.
 
Thanks for stopping by.

P.s. - I'm relatively new to blogging so forgive me for any rookie mistakes.

Love is like an insect

Now I believe,
In the Japanese,
Way of thinking.
Oh they believe,
Love is like an insect.
The girl in front,
Dont you look at me like that.

I know it sounds weird,
It doesnt make sense to you.
But dig a little deeper,
Think outside the box,
Trust me, you'll see it in the way I do.

Look at all the bugs around you and me,
There must be hundreds and hundreds,
Just in this vicinity....
,
So pay close attention,
All they want is your devotion,
They may call to you,
From morning to evening,
They may offer you,
Fresh Flowers from spring.

Dont be fooled by them,
and they're wreckless "I love you's".
When you have a love,
Thats greater than all their longing.

Like a firefly's silent passion,
Thats gives its body a reason to burn
and light up the dark,
Such is my love for you.
Such is my love for you.

Like a dragonfly's brave resilience,
I'm quietly confident,
That if I hold my ground
and don't break my silence,
You will see my love for you,
You will see my love for you. 

This is just a random blurb, I had the pleasure of reading a really cool japanese haiku recently and I thought it would make an interesting song just to fill in the gaps inbetween a show :D Its not your usual subject or anything commerical but at the heart of this song, there's a very sweet message.

Behind you

You look ahead,
and I look back,
On everything.
Bring back the past,
As I'am afraid of what,
The future will bring.

How could we stray?
How could all our love fade away?
You thought I left,
When I was really there to stay.

Behind you,
I was standing behind you.
Behind you,
I was hidden from plain view.
Behind you,
Where your eyes cannot see.
I waited for you to turn to me.

Now you're with him,
This is punishment for all my sins,
I should've dealt all my cards,
The lord knows that loosing you,
would make me try to win.
I need to win you back again.

Who says its complicated?
You're either loved or you're hated.
I vote you try a change,
I hope you'll see i've changed.
Maybe this time you'll see, I was...


Behind you,
Standing behind you.
Behind you,
Hidden from plain view.
Behind you,
Where your eyes cannot see.
I was waiting for you to turn to me.
I'm waiting for you to turn to me
I'll be waiting for you to turn to me.

Twilight in the wilderness

Waiting in anticipation,
For the sun to appear,
Dressed in velvet black,
With diamonds on her ears.
She was glowing,
I could see her beams,
Through the mist.
She was glowing,
She stayed awake the night,
To be his.

While the world's asleep,
Before our eyes, they open.
She'd let the light undress her,
They'd spend dawn together,
and then she'd retreat behind the shadows,
Drown herself in darkness.
Her love is a mystery once more,
and Nobody will know.
Nobody will know.
Nobody will know.

Lost in the day and night divide.
Their love was forbidden,
No one understood, the feelings they shared.
She was water, calm and gentle.
He was fire, burning red with passion.

Like twilight in the wilderness.
They were opposites at first glance,
So she counted on the world,
to give their love another chance.
Someday, Someone would see,
How he would shine the light,
Through her veins.
Releasing her from her silent pain.

While the world's asleep,
Before our eyes, they open.
She'd let the light undress her,
They'd spend dawn together,
and then she'd walk amongst the shadows,
Drown herself in darkness.
Her love is a mystery once more,
and Nobody will know,
Nobody will know,
Nobody will know.

Her love is a mystery once more,
Nobody will know,
Nobody will know,
Nobody will know...

Roses and Vines

If All the world were a garden,
She would lie amongst the rose beds.
The sacred cult of Aphrodite. (1)
Where secrets grow beneath.
What our eyes can see... (2)

Lift her scarlet veil of perfection,
You'll find an entagled mess of vines.
A web of all her charms and flaws,
That come together to keep her grounded, (3)
That come together to lift her off the ground. (4)

Her beauty cant be defined.
Through guitar strings or a poet's rhymes.
For she's more than what she seems.
For she's another of mercutio's dreams. (5)
She is roses and vines, intertwined.

Painted in pictures by Redoute, (6)
Described by Yeats in his flamboyant ways. (7)
Like a marriage of pain and pleasure, (8)
She's man-kind's prolific addiction,
Oh, and the envy of every woman.

Yet few try to understand her.
All they see is a flower in a vase, (9)
Wish they'd look past her class exterior,
To see, the passionate love in her thorns(10)
And all the insecurities her leaves adorn. (11)
.
Her beauty cant be defined.
Call it love, for all things divine. (12)
For she's more than what she seems.
For she's the yellow and blue behind green.
She is roses and vines, intertwined.

Is her beauty white like the snow?
Or is her beauty, the soil below? (13)
Is her beauty in a starlit night?
Or is her beauty in, what lies behind the light? (14)
I know, what nobody knows.
I know, all that, she wont expose. (15)

I know, her beauty cant be defined.
Like Colours to a man thats blind.
For she's more than what she seems.
She is roses and vines, intertwined.

I will wait for you

The coulds have opened and its pouring rain,
The flow of water, resurrects the slain,
Eventhough change may ease my pain.
I will wait for you.

In a sea of faces, we all loose our tracks,
Wonder free, slip through the cracks,
You've forgotten but you'll find your way back,
I will wait for you.

Through narrow roads, that close on us,
With nowhere left to turn,
On hollow ground, we rely on trust,
And grow closer from what we learn.

I know I'm hanging on by a memory,
While autumn leaves escape the trees,
I may be down, I may be on my knees,
(but) I will wait for you.

In the darkest hours of the night,
I call on you, to keep me alive,
When hope is fading and out of sight,
You breathe into my dreams, the air of life.

Days turn to months, months to years,
All my confidence, reduced to fear,
Although my heart says you'll disappear,
I will wait for you.
I will wait for you.

"The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can..." - J. R. R. Tolkien

Stay Awake with me...

The Wind against the window,
The sun behind its shadow,
And the moon mourns in black, like a widow.
While you and me dance the night,
Till the skies, switch off the lights,
I can keep your heart beating,
Maybe we can win this fight.

I know the storm is coming closer.
I know that you are growing weaker.
And I'm selfish for holding on to you
When its time to say goodbye dear,
But I'm trapped in my own conscience
My mind is confused in all this silence.
And I'm thinking with my heart now.

So will you please,
stay awake with me,
stay awake with me,
Its not far from day.
stay awake with me,
stay awake with me,
Dont you go away.


The sound of nature's fireworks.
The tame land goes berserk,
And zeus prying from above, with his fatal smirk.
Me and you, We're at the mercy of time,
The clouds, they've let the rain unwind,
Eventhough I feel your grip fainting,
I believe the sun will shine.

I know the storm is coming closer.
I know that you are growing weaker.
And I'm selfish for holding on to you
When its time to say goodbye dear,
But I'm trapped in my own conscience
My mind is confused in all this silence.
And I'm thinking with my heart now.

So will you please,
stay awake with me,
stay awake with me,
Its not far from day.
Stay awake with me,
stay awake with me,
Dont fall asleep,
Dont leave me this way.
