“I Feel Lethal, On The Verge Of Frenzy. I Think My Mask Of Sanity Is About To Slip.”

It's flooding

All over

Everywhere

The city's sinking

I'm drowning

Helpless

Waiting

For the waves

To calm down

Before you

I was terrified of this world

looking at those Shadows

Spreading on this earth

You tilted my head upward

showed me the stars

And I stopped shuddering in the dark

You told me

any of them could be mine

The thought made me smile

I wandered around at nights

Looking for that tiny light

That would feel just right

Just mine

And I finally found it

Not up above, in the skies

But around me

Among the fireflies.

It's so ironic that we ourselves created a world we want to escape every waking moment.

[a better place]

I like it here

I like the tranquility

The soft glow of moon

And the hidden reality

I like the coolness of

Passing breeze on my skin

And the sound of leaves

Dancing along with it

I like the stars in this world

They don't mock me

Glancing down from their heaven

Here, they watch me

With a knowing smile

As if something good is to happen.

I like this place

I just don't know

How to hold onto it.

let's kill all the clocks...

Let's kill all the clocks

Let's forget rights and wrongs

And steal the wings of breeze

So we can fly over the tides

Till we reach the horizon

Where the sun kisses the ocean

While the earth spins around

We'll be away from that crowd

Snuggling close together

On the clouds that hold water

Let's kill all the clocks

So the picture can live in the frame forever

Isn't life a little strange?

We all know how it begins and ends

But we still want to live through it

Is it because how we live matter

Or 'cause that's the only thing in our hands?

Or maybe it does matter

Not for us

But for the people of the future

We all know that

The epilogue has already been written

But wouldn't it be a victory for us

If on our way, we could make the path

A little less hard

A little more clear

Not for us

But for the people of the future

Innocent bystander

Close your eyes

Cover your ears

Shut your mouth

What’s happening isn’t happening.

Come on, throw away your conscience;

It’s not going to win you a lottery.

It wasn’t you who commited the crime,

Then Why should you feel guilty?

Convince yourself it’s not your fault,

You are not to blame.

Just an innocent bystander, right?

You just happened to be there;

You watched the scene unfold.

Even though you could have stopped it,

you just stood there and let it go on,

shook your head and said, “what a terrible fate!”

And went on with your day,

Thinking you’re not in the wrong.

But let me tell you one thing,

By closing your eyes,

when you see something evil,

By covering your ears,

When you hear something wrong,

By shutting your mouth,

When you could have spoken up,

You are not being wise but selfish.

You’re as much guilty for not stopping it

as the hands of the person for doing it.

So don’t think you’re not in the wrong,

‘cause innocent bystander is just an oxymoron.

You remember that day, I saw you in the park?

You were sitting on a swing with a little girl on your lap. A goofy smile was plastered on your face, so real that it burned my heart. I know, you sensed me watching you as you abruptly looked my way.

And I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that I looked away before you caught my eyes. I'm sorry that for a little while, it dimmed your charming smile.

The truth is that I'm jealous. Jealous of the way you embrace life, when I feel so burdened by it. Jealous of how brave you must be, to be able to smile in a world like this. You seem to have mastered the art of living while I'm still figuring out its meaning.
