i left him play play under pine trees under the sun's brightest smile i left my son left him under all those leaves under the moon's kindest isle he's covered in glass and covered in what we told him to grasp made him from straw two sticks and a stone with the love i barely found every now and then i could see him waiting under the house coldest playground he's left all the glas and left what we told him to grasp can’t you hear him whistle sharing tears with the splinter whistling lovely words of lonely wisdom down by the stream a reflection nature’s greatest gift desire makes its way to his dreams chased by the glass and chased by what i've told him to grasp

i lost a friend a friend in need i lost a friend a friend indeed a young smile blessed with grief dry away golden tears i lost a friend a friend in need i lost a friend a friend indeed what is guilt if you haven’t had a choice what is guilt what is guilt if you haven’t if you haven’t if you haven’t had a choice they didn’t mean to make you suffer we might have lost another

dear jim that misery haven’t seen you for a while where’s your pleasing voice oh misery sometimes your self is long forgotten even when your mind is still alive
4.
both eyes are open wide mouth shut no lies luna won't make you mine light fades blind sight how to grow in the dark in the dark isn’t it that silence that keeps us awake at night hide another round curtain falls years drown still flowers will remain promised land forsaken how to grow in the dark and isn't it that silence that keeps us awake at night how to grow in the dark

DREI TAGE SPÄTER ÖFFNET ER SEIN JUNGES [ die stadt ist alt geworden und ich mit ihr ] FLIEDER BITTE [ sieben Sommer ist es mittlerweile her ] [ seit wir uns das letzte mal gesehen haben. ] VERGISS DAS ATMEN NICHT [ aber im gegensatz zu mir blieben deine hände unberührt ] DU FINDEST MEINE GESCHICHTEN [ verbrannte ich mich doch an dessen eifer ] GRAUSAM [ gestohlene blicke die mich auf den herbst einstimmen ] DIE WELT BLEIBT HALT IM KREIS [ noch heute stiehlt niemand einem die trauben süßer aus dem munde ] [ und doch folgt ein jeder deinem ruf ] DIE WELT BLEIBT HALT IM KREIS [ ich hingegen bleibe hier zurück, ] [ sehe dir nach und warte auf ein erstes zeichen des winters. ] SIE BLEIBT [ ich bin alt geworden und du mit mir ]

the other one is buried in your ceiling another one is climbing up the front two of them are enemies i can’t tell you where where these woods will take us the past keeps hiding with the dawning you won’t see the shapes behind the doorway you can’t tell which hand is reaching from above i can’t tell you where where these woods will take us the past keeps hiding with the dawning
7.
please don't hide yourself from me it won't make a change you'll never know what’s left of me keep up with all the dreams will i become our enemy my words became a curse to theé just leave it all behind the rest will be our heresy you won't change that gravity will I become our enemy enemy enemy tease me with secret silence silence have I become our enemy leave me secret silence
8.
we are climbing stairs to the sound of laughter there is darkness in our voices matching the glazings outside drifting from what we become please past lifes treat me with care sending roses growing old while travel and then faces turn different remember there is darkness in our voices and it won't match the glazings outside nothing more to find here but time

about

Der Ort ist leer. Jede Menschenseele ist weitergezogen und hinterließ was nicht tragbar schien.
Das überbelichtete Lachen einer Familie ist sein einzig stummer Zeuge und der Staub vergangener Tage legt sich auf sein Haupt.
Die noch kaum in den Angeln sitzende Türe wird vom schreienden Wind zurück ins Schloss gestossen und ihr Leid hallt durch die Flure durch die einst noch Leben schritt...
