THE WASP
the wasp is tired of climbing these walls
the wasp is tired of every time he falls
his wings are crumbled, his stripes nearly dead
what once seemed so dangerous now painfully lifts his head
the window too slippery, wings failing his return
only seen is only he who has no dignity to earn
defeated by his own sting he thought
too sharp for the force of love, too sharp for the force of love
when did the “I” become a thing
when did I arrive on the moment I thought it’d be best to leave my queen
and all the thousand others I was so keen on
who was I trying to prove I can make it on my own?

KID
there’s a woman he said
there’s a man she said
this one is something else she said
this is one of a kind and he’s mine she said
the world is ours they said, the world is ours they said
I’m yours and yours only she said
I’ll try the best I can, he said,
I’ll try the best I can
we were all over the place he said,
went through the roof he said
I bet it’s a boy she said, no it’s a girl he said
it’s a girl he said
where did it end up bad I asked, where did it and up bad
don’t you reckon the world is a crazy place he said, the world is a crazy place ain’t that
- don’t raise the question upon a question I said
I said please don’t take off yet, I said please don’t leave me dad
I made a few mistakes he said
more than a man can count she said
you’re only married to your dick she said
I had to come clear he said
how about the truth she said
what about the truth
there ain’t such thing as truth he said
there ain’t such thing as truth
what about our kid he said
baby’s mine he said
please my love we’ll be fine he begged
please my love we’ll be fine
can’t go back
can’t go back to the way we were
can’t go back
can’t go back to the way we were
I wanna put this to bed
gotta go back in time she said
you are killing me he said, you are killing me instead
you’re doing a full 180 she said, actions speak louder than words she said, actions speak louder than words
you doing this says it all
can’t go back
can’t go back to the way we were
can’t go back
can’t go back to the way we were
ease the pain
kill the pain
you’ve put yourself
back in my mind
that’s not fine
not all the time
I’m not your doll at all
can’t find peace of mind he said
the only sound I hear is an echo, echo, she said
she said in your absence you’ll become ever present
in your absence you will be ever present
the queen has spoken he said
can’t go back
can’t go back to the way we were
can’t go back
can’t go back to the way we were
no
no

The Goddess of Love

THE GODESS OF LOVE
take a look at me now
I watched you coming around
I want you all to myself
lock the doors contain you
no escape, only love
live in the moment with me
no one else exits
I'm the Goddess of love
come into my palace
I'm gonna treat you fine
only me because I'm the best
pull harder, tighter
that's it
control it all
you will love me forever
my power is so strong
it builds fortresses around our love
so blinded, interwoven
united in this tangle
take a look at us now,
we are the Gods of love
contained now
you will never leave me

Contract with God

CONTRACT WITH GOD
caught in a Routine, an empty place
you forgot to stop, and say grace
stopping would mean order is gone
show is finished, curtain is drawn
walk along, go ahead
shoulder tight, busy head
the burden I have to I must, will make you turn to rust
walk along, go ahead
do you remember signing a contract with God
did you agree with his terms and conditions?
when I was younger you painted magic
when I was older I became colour
an inner weakness becomes my light
shining on daydreams, no need to fight
walk along, go ahead
shoulder tight, busy head
the burden I have to I must, will make you turn to rust
walk along, go ahead
do you remember signing a contract with God
did you agree with his terms and conditions?
sometimes forgetting life is an act
now I am free, that is a fact

MY LOVE
you are my love
and I won’t let you go
‘cause we belong together
and I hope some day you’ll know
I hope some day you'll know
but I
ain’t gonna tell you, ‘cause I am too cool
just hanging around and play like a fool
shaking your cards and be a hardheaded beast
kicking your ass when your guard is at ease
make fun of
wedding invitations, complicated relations
there’s a woman on a mission and I ain’t playing it fair
I’m fighting my way in and I’m letting down my hair
cause were on holidays and I love your face
when it laughs, and it’s tickled by the sun
I’ll arrange some stupid awkwardness and I’ll stick out my tongue
and isn’t it just liberating to be ugly yes I know
now just please hug me and hold me unfold me
cross the friendzone border, push you into a corner
when nobody is an audience and I’ve refound my confidence
I will brutally kill you with my charm offense
now raise your arms drop your weapons show your hands
Bridge
and if you like a safe spot to live in
and if you like somebody to breath with
and if you like someone who will let you free
who’ll stick around, please let it be
But I
ain’t gonna tell you, cause I am too cool
just hanging around and play like a fool
shaking your cards and be a hardheaded beast
kicking your ass when your guard is at ease
you are my love
and I won’t let you go
cause we belong together
and I hope one day you’ll know

BUTTERFLY
she needs to conquer sadness
she needs to let you in
she can’t give in to madness
can’t let the demons win
so break into her heavy heart
chisel loose these bricks
it’s eating grief and fighting loss
until your love will stick
it took her time and will need more
this whore of habits oh so strong
it sold her soul, kept her alive
sold her off so long
It’s painted way too deep
and makes her running circles
in the unconvertible comfort zone
where the old her murmles
‘hold on, if you let me go
you’ll fly into this universe
I’m no good but I’m all you’ve got
for better is much worse’
now she firmly holds the ashes
of what used to be her home
when she looks at where she used to live
she peers at the unknown
I offer peace in a basket of love
she keeps on painting white flags red
‘withdraw, pull back’ her parrot sings
if you surrender you are… If you surrender you are…
if I die tomorrow I am happy
if I’m dead tomorrow, I’ll be free
her heart too heavy to touch the sky
stop screaming why, stop screaming why
and when she sighs, and finds the end
the voices pry, run dry, I cry and she became a butterfly
she became a butterfly

Solid Ground
I guess I’m just too eager to judge you as good
I guess I’m just a fortune seeker I disown my own roots
I can’t keep you near
And I can’t kick you out
What is the other side of fear
when you’re always in doubt?
I am the flute and I’m the fiddler
Who’s the one that makes this call
My inside is a handout to the lowest bidder
Who splits the wall and whistles the truth?
Like Juliet, like Romeo
like summer night-dreamers do
The verdicts in the lips of the one who speaks
The verdicts in the grips of the one who preaches
I’m looking for solid
I’m looking for solid
I’m looking for solid ground
I wonder if the lion should speak
If what he says is irreversible
I wonder if the matador is weak
if he doesn’t want to kill the bull
The drought made the poppy’s gloom
In the twilight before rain
they can only bloom in poetry
of men who died without a name
Yes you killed me but how I love you
Yes you killed me but now I know
Yes you killed me but how I love you
But I can’t trust my head
The colors it paints
I can’t trust the sad
Nor can I trust the saints
I guess I’m just too scared
To face the truth
I guess I’m only scared
Of losing you
I’m looking for solid
Looking for solid
Looking for solid ground (2x)

Glide to the Moon

GLIDE TO THE MOON
glide to the moon slidin’
not so soon hidin’
behind you
and your shyin’ away
hey
sap seeps the bark becomes stronger
your nails dig in sweaty hands, hark the angels, chants Gabrielle
tells you the graces spent is worth the lark
glide to the moon slidin’
not so soon hidin’
behind you
and your shyin’ away
figures unknown cast their shadows
shapes untold whisper secrets grown you never, you never listened
and you became the shadows sewn
dusty clouds sweep past the moon tonight
like your eyes they remind me to feel
moved by the moon, by the moon, by the moon, by the moon
glide to the moon slidin’
not so soon hidin’
behind you
and your shyin’ away
threads uncut, clothes unravel
naked skin, so cold, your foot steps into the warmth of heaven
and shines so bright your eyes close shut
glide to the moon slidin’
not so soon hidin’
behind you
and your shyin’ away
hey

BABY BLUE
it’s sunny, bright, an early morning
first time I slept the whole night through
soon I’ll wake up realize how I miss you
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, Baby Blue
it’s been so long, first time I saw you
there was a glitch and sweat upon your head
you smiled, I waved, I knew I loved you
goodbye, goodbye goodbye Baby Blue
last night I met you, you were with me
we were young, born, wild, so wild and free
like a baby deer standing on your legs so brave
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, run with me
won’t you meet me in my dreams babe, when the sun, the sun goes down
won’t you meet me in my dreams when the sun, the sun goes down
won’t you meet me in my dreams babe, when the sun goes down
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Baby Blue
it’s for two I have to live by
it’s for two that makes me weak
it’s for two that I can’t die
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Baby Blue
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye baby (4x)
