When i look in the mirror
is not me I see,
but someone that everyone
sees except me.

Tendrils ‘round your brain
feeding you insanity.

Because the black wave
clings around me
and never lets go.

Like a lighthouse beacon
through the mist of my madness,
I have to look out for you
and remember you all.

Heart Beat, Heart Beat, Heart Beat
Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe
Thoughts Thoughts Thoughts
STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP.
Breaaaathe Breaaaaathe Breaaaaaathe.

G…

If you care
If you are interested
Hold me in your arms.
Tell me that everything is
going to be alright.

While my bones were breaking down,
my car already had
and the thousand stars I saw
were not just in my head.
No, they were multiplying
as if they just had sex.

This holiday
was meant for you,
it was meant for you and me,
to really get to know each other,
without the Brighton complications,
we were going to do so many things.
But now it’s only me…

This new persona
has risen from its arid solitude
as the fire-glowing phoenix
resurrecting from its ashes.

Just because people don’t see you doesn’t mean you stop existing. I wish i did….

I lost myself somehwere hoping i’d find myself and all my mates gave up on me.

Now i find myself able to…

My thoughts just carry on
Shut up! Go on!
But they just carry on
No More! I’m tired …
But they go on and on.

A new year,
A new dawn.
Same routine,
Same old shit.

I want to live in a bubble
no contact with the rest
I want to exist alone.

No need for anyone
I can do it by myself
I need to exist alone.

I can’t live in a bubble
I need to mix with…

I woke up.
I was falling through the rivers,
I managed to reach a shore
I slapped myself
I found a rock
and hit my head against it.
I was lost and didn’t know why.
I was lost and didn’t …

The thoughts I have
are they inside my head
or am I so in tune with
people’s true emotions?

Am I just being stupid
when I feel you are
all
just using me?

Am I just imagining
that p…

Darkness plunges
Upon me
With bat-like wings
That Cocoon
Around me
In depression.

A stream of tears
Runs across
My face
As I drown
In this beautiful,
Velvet sea
Of desperation.

Once I met a Gypsy
who wasn’t really hippie

Once i met a black man
who never ever mugged.

Once i met a Crusty
who wasn’t really dirty.

Once i met a single mum
