My Kandinsky

|
I keep losing my mother tongue
Kissing everyone God chastens.
A love four nations tall deepens
All your colours, my Kandinsky.
Where we hide our secret handshakes
Sadness is not fashionable.
Nuuk is as big as New York City
Like in my dreams, my Kandinsky.
My wooden sky has caught on fire
From the bright flames we fell into.
The sound of your laugh made me call you
By her name, my Kandinsky.

Winter Rain
03:37
|

|
Winter rain has washed away our past
And all we once stood for.
I’ll seize the day and get through life’s sieve.
Hey
There there,
Let me help you see things another way
And unveil your latent heat
A flower to bloom, a heart to be found.
Wish me luck, wish me well.
Be quiet, be still.
Wish me Godspeed
And make me promise to come back.

St.Lawrence

|
I’ve emptied your glass and called it off.
The sun is about to set, or rise,
We’ll see.
Our feet as heavy as the rain.
Snow crackles and street lights are blurred again.
I woke up dismantled, disabled, barely alive
But all the things you’ve left here
Remain untouched :
- an idea you had
- a broken dream
- our common ground
- that heart you had stolen
- some unanswered questions
In these suburbs, by the St.Lawrence,
There’s a field where we’ll dig a hole
And bury everything that hurts us.
We’ll stay here and see what will grow
Or we’ll listen to the wind and hear where we’ll go.
From what I’ve learned of cracking the code of love
Is that it takes a lifetime to dare to think like a child again.
The scars I’m made of will show you
I’m finally done dying.

Justine & Icarus
03:55
|
|||
|
I would, I will, I won’t get through this
To appease, to tame what’s screaming in our hearts.
We went away from where virtues always
Lead to misfortune,
As we flew closer to the sun
And shed some light on what we’ve become.

Limerence In Takao
03:48
|
|||
|
Passions clash.
Embracing each other.
Becoming each other.
I was not prepared.
From a bridge over the water
A truth was found untouched.
The river kept it covered.
I had drowned into a love that was way too deep
For me to handle

Miscou

Everything comes down to the night sky
I gaze upon.
A city with no sound.
A world with no ground.
The words may change, but the pattern remains the same.
What you said is true
I always long for the wrong thing to do
So take me up to the gallows
And down the river
All the fire in your eyes still untapped
The sulfur under my skin still intact
I’ll leave and live as I’ll always be
Desireless
Loveless
Free

Helvítis!
03:34
|
|||
|
I just called to say this world is full of mistakes,
painted with all the names we bestow.
Just to say that I won’t miss you tomorrow.
I just dropped by to be fed by all your hate
Again.
And then again, we chase safety under the sheets
Or surrounded by some kind of fallen Soviet utopia.
You close your eyes and smile
As the sea swallows the cape
And now we can’t move away.
Danger stays close, danger soothes, danger is a friend I thought,
As I turn around to face fear
And see it disappear.

Growing Apart
03:22
|
|||
|
The city we got lost in won’t give me back all the shivers
My hands have sent down your spine.
You turn around and grin, as shiny as a midnight sun.
Drunk on love.
Two strangers in the same bed.
And I know we are growing apart.
Time flies, time flows.
I’ve got a hundred regrets, but you will never be one.
Snow is falling
Covering the rooftop I lie on
When the harvest moon won’t let me sleep
I guess I should have told you

An Ocean Away
04:22
|
|||
|
I wandered inside myself for far too long.
I wandered inside myself and got lost.
Looking for your light into someone else’s eyes.
I did not understand.
You say you will.
You always say you will when you only would.
It may not happen twice,
That’s why I’ll always believe the lies in these eyes, in your smile.
An ocean between us has kept me away
From your celestial body,
Away from the stars I had to steal from your necklace of constellations.
I did not understand how precious this was.
