Everybody knows the world is not a perfect place

Love is not an innocent chase

We are not a flawless race

For all we have done

For all we have wished

The body is not that strong

The soul is much too weak

Everyone knows life is not a straight line

The road is not an easy path

And for all i think is mine

It takes a second to forget

People run and people walk

All the dance i do myself

And all that nonsense talk

I put in a forgotten shelf

They dont know what they are

They dont know what they do

They are lost not that far

They are found in the Woods

Mindless bodies in the land

Hopeless souls driving around

All those footsteps in the sand

Mean nothing without a sound

I found the voice in my hair

The lost love in broken wings

All the innocence in the air

And all my words through your things

I found my soul lost in the sea

Found the faith crying alone

I wait for the world to come to me

And for these thoughts to be gone

For the ocean to comeback

And for the stars to shine bright

In that sky that is much too black

With the moon rising high

Smiling right by my side

Strong enough to put up a fight

In this madness called life.

Perfect flowers in the ground

Cant understand this feeling

Perfect skies all around

I thought it had a meaning.

Falling pieces in my eyes

It starts to be just too much

Keep them burning through the skies

but it hurts by the touch.

I dont know what to feel

Dont know what to think

Start to feel its all unreal

I dont even want a thing.

People soulless in this land

Broken bodies walking around

I see their footsteps in the sand

As they even made a sound.

I lost the faith I once had

Lost the love I once felt

Magic feelings are now sad

Bright eyes are now dead.

Perfect flowers in the grass

All black roses start to rise

I keep on wanting to forget

That your hand is not my size.

I feel too deep and I cry too loud

All these words I want to say

But you cant even hear a sound

So I keep them for a better day.

This smile you stole I can not have

The heart you broke just for fun

All those moments you cant regret

All those plans made in the sun.

Im falling here and Im falling hard

There’s no place for me to love

The home I once found

Is up too high above.

I miss deeply what we shared

Think too often about your eyes

I get daily much too scared

I’ll only see you in your lies.

Keep me close and bring me down

I’ll watch you closer in my dreams

For the skies are crashing now

And I’m so done with all of this.

But now all flowers are destroyed

Laying on the ground of life

Cause now im not who I was before

And I blame you for the night.

There’s a night that never ends

A beauty yet to find

A whisper in the wind

A song no one knows.

There’s a sun that never rises

A sky yet to burn

A seagull in the horizon

A dream yet to learn.

There’s a heart no one knows

A girl yet to love

A soul much too young

A life yet to run.

There is music all around

People dancing in the air

Yet my question still remains

Why dont I hear a sound?

Is it love yet to be found?

You’re way too far from the stars

Way too far from the night

There are way too many wars

And I’m the only one to put up a fight.

You’re way too far from the moon

Way too far from my eyes

And it is never too soon

To remember all your lies

You’re way too far from the truth

Way too far from the shore

There’s no reason to be rude

You can’t push me farther anymore

You’re way too far from me

Way too far from the soul

There’s no love for us to be

No air for me to breathe

No heart for me to seek

No more.

Days are not enough. These hours are too slow. Those moments went too fast. I want them like the moon wants the night. I miss you like the stars miss the night.

I see you in the air

I see you in the sky

There’s no reason to be fair

There are no reasons to cry

Your name living in me

Your eyes calling the sky

Cold hands crossing the sea

Warm hearts ready to fly

Why wont you come when I call

Why do these words vanish

There’s no place for me to fall

There’s no meaning to it all

Closed souls burning all around

Little people talking nonsense

Magic lights yet to be found

In this endless bubble of madness.

brilliant.

Why are people so empty inside? I’m so full of feelings. I’m so full of dreams.
