another sperm

another sperm other than me
another sperm more worthy
of this life you've given to me
god you should have let him live
maybe he would be a harder worker
maybe he would be much smarter
another sperm, another sperm
who took care of himself better
i probably swam a lil' faster
but it doesn't even matter
another sperm, another sperm
who was nicer to his mother
another sperm other than me
another sperm more worthy
another sperm who wants this life
let him take it. let him be
maybe she would be a lovely sister
maybe she would be a better driver
another sperm, another sperm
who made the world much safer
maybe she did not play the guitar
what if she did and did it better
another sperm, another sperm
makes my self-esteem lower
spare the other sperm
o let him live (another sperm, another sperm)
but there's no going back
to my mother's womb (yes i know)

my saturday
03:08
|
|||
|
it's a saturday
i don't wanna drive
i walked 4 miles
to somewhere i
can't recall what it was called
playing the same tune
well it's a brand new tune
i'm picking up the lyrics
of an unwelcoming haiku
it's my saturday
my lazy saturday
when it's a busy saturday
for everyone but me
parties everywhere
parties that are not for me
cabinets with no beers
but emptiness and fear
what more can you do
when you don't feel belonged
that is the reason
why i am here
writing songs all night long
i lost the city
and the city has lost me
i got a hole in my pants
and an old friend in memory
nothing was left
in my pocket
but an imaginary ticket
to where i'm from
where i belong
where my youth has passed and gone

ride song
04:25
|
|||
|
vanished in our sights
lovers in delight
you did as you were told
when i asked you to turn and go
for the days to come
for years, and for months
there is always a song
we can sing along
as the ride goes on and on
should love be carried on
we will find a place
where we belong
sometimes i still pretend
that you were here
saying what you used to say
and making the faces you used to make
i left my heart that day just where we laid
although you can't be by my side
truth for that day shall not become a lie
and if faith was where it all began
there could be no end

narcissus and goldmund
04:22
|
|||
|
far across the ocean
a fondness transcended
no lips should touch
no hands should hold
while two minds enfold, and…
…hug
across the ocean
like how the north and the south poles
extend to each other
and unite at the equator
like how the story of narcissus
and goldmund was told
if you are my narcissus
then i will be your goldmund
o how i wished to become like you
how i adored you
and yet you saw the greatness in me
greater than i’d thought it could be
the capability
to love and feel
to conceptualize the real
how i wish to see you again
and we will, if we truly will
but we shall wait
before that day
i take joy in…
…knowing that you exist
in this world, of humdrum mankind
whose hearts’ desires
hardly harmonize with those of mine
no path to be crossed
no likeness to be shared
but the stories of
the departed days
through the different paths we take
with other eyes that see
and a mind that reads
and each individual gift
how i wish to see you again
and we will, if we truly will
but we shall wait
before that day
i take joy in…
…knowing that you exist
so i might as well go on to live

shooting supernova
04:09
|
|||
|
i don't need anyone
but i want you to be mine
since first saw you
i've loved you
wish upon a shooting star
d' you stay to light up the dark
shooting stars won't stay
i know so i wait and wait
for the next time you
draw a line across the sky
and fade into the bluest
blue
lowly, i adore you
(‘d you land on me
if i shined as bright as you)
we are not meant to be
you do not belong to me
but someone permanent
something prominent
you're so high up in the sky
take pictures of you with my eyes

little girl
02:58
|
|||
|
little, little, little girl
did you sleep well
did you do your bed
little, little, little girl
say goodbye to your dad
little girl, get up every morning
wear your shoes, grab your bag
little girl, get up every morning
take the bus, pay to ride
little, little, little girl
did you feed your cat
did you do your math
little, little, little girl
who's sending you to school

we can always escape
04:02
|
|||
|
we can always escape from here
it always comes from a dumb idea
now leave your work behind my dear
put your phone away
don't let the world interfere
I'll hold your hand if the ventures get you scared
hear the mountains whisper secrets to your ears
(Now be yourself ‘cause no one will remember you here
do all the stupid things although yes it’s a little weird)
bring nothing but your guitar and some beers
we're pioneers
that forget the souvenirs
we can always escape from here
the world won't come to get you my dear
'cause it's only been you yourself who cares
for just a few days, deny your haste and fear
once in a while
it's alright to disappear
so jump into the car
let's get out of here

everything combined
03:41
|
|||
|
your eyes are beautiful
please give them to me
i want to frame them
in a picture frame
you have nice ears
can they hold my tears
‘cause my heart is bleeding for you
your breath is like perfume
your voice an angel’s song
your hair is like a waterfall
keeps making me fall
you’re warmer than the sun
higher than the moon
shines brighter than the stars
and everything combined
why do you care for me?
i think you love me
when you’re around
my head drops a few pounds
i like your nostrils
how they’re round and huge
can they sharpen my pencils
like a pencil sharpener?
i wish to gather
every part of you
and hide each of them
in different corners

fragile little flower
02:52
|

|
fragile little flower
that’s what they call
fragile little flower
most priced of all
give me a little shelter
to keep me warmer and safer
fragile little flower
needs your love
i’m a fragile little flower
who needs your love
nutrients and sunshine
keeps me alive
still spare a little time
from your daily life
give me a little shower
so i won’t wither
handle me with extra care
staring in by
the door of your room
i wonder if you will show up to me
hoping that you won’t
forget to remember
like many of the other days
busy days
all your obligations
carry no life
but fragile little flower
needs you to survive
give me a little manure
someday i will grow stronger
bloom in full colours
to your eyes
i am your fragile little flower
