These Lonely Thoughts

Somewhere in my mind
there's a well of lonely thoughts.
Sometimes overflows,
sometimes I just don't mind.
Crowds won't change a thing,
nor the happy songs they sing.
There's no storm outside
it only rains inside.
Gather thoughts of lonesome days
like seashells on a beach,
turn them into memories,
turn them into a scene.
A cold landscape is all around me,
I sail its fjords into mountain loneliness.
Open my eyes and I'm in my bed,
counting the nights I have been awake.
And I am all alone.
All alone.

It's Better Not To

Don't think it's something,
you'll probably find out
that I'm so uninteresting
but also quite a mess.
So it's better not to guess,
it's better not to know.
To be disappointed
like everyone I know,
like everyone I've known.
So it's better not to think of it.
So it's better not to say a thing.
So it's better to just leave,
'cause you're really something else,
you are just too much for me.

People

There's people all around me
but they don't know me,
they just see what they wanna see.
In the middle of a crowd,
smiles and contradictions,
loud laughs and I'm out.
People think I'm sad all the time,
that I'm mad, angry.
But is it true?
My social skills are none,
I might drift away.
Words just never come.
They think I'm sad all the time,
that can't be right.
People walk and pass me by,
I'm the stone in a river flowing down.

I'm Not There Anymore

All the hills climbed,
they are gone.
All the seas crossed,
they weren't real.
Guess I'm not there anymore,
at the peak of the mountain,
the cliff of my own life,
the thrill of the moment.
Where am I to go?
Now that I have nothing
I don't think
this journey is about to be over yet,
but it seems it's just not for me anymore
and I just don't know what to do.
it's all gone.

As the birds that fly away,
as the trees that dim their shade,
as the wind that sings lullabies
in the falling rain,
as the sun that hides away,
and the clouds that take its place,
as a cold day,
as a cold night,
as the last of summer days,
I-- I will...
I-- I will...
I will fly, I will dim, I will sing,
I will fall, I will hide, I will take my place.

Liquor Night In Solitude

What's the point?
If I am only waiting to be down again.
Why to care?
If I don't live up to the expectations.
What's it for?
Everybody's waiting something from me.
And it's not worth
the time or the intention, don't you see?
And here tonight
I dedicate this moment to remind myself
of all the things
that I've never been able to realize,
but it's okay,
I don't worry about it anymore.
I might find a little peace tonight.
I might find the missing piece tonight.

Stupid Reasons

Yesterday
I tried to disappear
but I couldn't run,
I just had to hold it in
within sappy thoughts.
Today I can't anymore,
the signs are clear
and I know it sounds really dumb,
but it can't be changed.
My stupid reasons won,
still I fight them back.
I'm sorry to disappoint
and that's the truth,
neverending apologies,
under the dimming sky.
I may keep droning on,
would you please ignore?
As the world goes around
I only gaze at the sky.
People will dance around,
I'll only gaze at the sky.
But why, why, why,
why am I like this?
Me and my stupid reasons,
I can't change.
Nothing is making sense
but that's okay,
'cause chaos is still a friend,
an old friend of mine.
When sadness comes along too,
it's a welcome home,
everything's not enough
and nothing's too much.
I'm now only killing time
as the hours go by,
and these chords, my overcoat,
to drown the pain,
but the last words in the song
were too sad to sing.

You've been here before,
you know it all.
Don't think I can do it well,
I'm not used to this,
I can't compete,
can't really picture it.
I dwell the roads that lead into
the woodlands of my mind,
I meet you there,
you're not just a dream anymore.
I never thought I'd be around you,
never thought I'd get to touch you,
now I only fear to lose you.
Wish I was brave enough,
wish I wasn't weird anymore.
A sappy blue mood falls upon
the land within myself.
Would you join in?
Will you run away?
