THE LIGHTS ARE GOING OUT
I've had enough of the bickering,
hollow shouting, stupidity
There is a limit of just how much
one can take hostility
And I'm filtering out
the constant howl
At the age of the tin foil hats,
conspiracies, the end of facts
The only nutter I believe
is the one with the sign: "The End is near"
I'm filtering out
the constant howl
Oh but what a beautiful sight it's been
We're watching the twilight sky
The kiss so slow and longing
as the lights are going out
And wasn't it good but all so brief
We let the time run out but
wouldn't you stay here right beside me now
as the lights go out
Business as usual
between pandemics
Devastation at an increasing speed,
invasions, violations of humanity
Does it matter that much anymore?
Do we give a damn?
Is there the global decision
to bury our heads deep in the sand?
And the constant howl
will subside
as the lights go out
Oh but what a beautiful sight it's been
We're watching the twilight sky
The kiss so soft and longing
as the lights are going out
And wasn't it good but all so brief
We let the time run out but
wouldn't you stay here right beside me now
as the lights go out
The lights are going out
What a beautiful sight it's been
The lights are going out
The kiss so slow and longing
The lights are going out

GHOSTS ON PHOTOS
Stack of photos on the floor
The sense of joy and remorse
Snapshots from another time
I barely recognise
As if the lights grew dim
as I'm sinking into
elusive moments in time
Ghosts on photos
The melancholy overtakes my mind
as I'm touched from beyond the time,
time when memories were made
And all these faces filled with lust for life
genuine hope glowing in their eyes
all those many years ago
The piece of paper in my hands
old-fashioned and torn like me
displays a happy couple,
where will they be?
just another ghosts...
Ghosts on photos
The melancholy overtakes my mind
as I'm touched from beyond the time
time when memories were made
All the faces filled with lust for life
genuine hope glowing in their eyes
all those many years ago

TIME DOES NOT HEAL
Well meaning beings
try to cheer me in vain
The joy it can't be switched on just like that
Days run in circles
and in the nights I sometimes lose my mind
Do you know what it's like?
Every time I try to breathe
the sadness folds on me
The emptiness is a harsh company
Time doesn't heal
things just decay,
They fall to pieces,
and anguish never really goes away
Time it doesn't heal
The entropy increased
tears the memories
but won't provide the peace of mind
Yes, I'm in a dark place
I guess I lost my way
It's grey outside and inside
You know I've I tried to breath,
but the damage runs too deep
The emptiness and sorrow
back they creep
Time doesn't heal
things just decay
They fall to pieces,
and anguish never really goes away
Time it doesn't heal,
The entropy increased
tears the memories
but won't provide the peace of mind

JUST BY WISHING
I wouldn't want to sound so cynical
but there's a pattern here recognizable
The sweet moments of enjoyment
framed by boredom and fear
I'm pretty sure you know it all
Oh honey you can dance the night away
and wake up to the chaos that remains
You know it's going to be the same every day
And you know that nothing's changed
just by wishing
Disappointments and despair,
the side-effects of life
They swarm in without hesitation
and won't form a line
At the darkest hour I feel it's all the same
cause we're stuck in our miscast roles in a play
You can dance the night away
and wake up to the chaos that remains
You know it's going to be the same every day
And you know that nothing's changed
just by wishing
I hate to be such a pessimist
but self-deception's not my thing
and I can't make sense of all the horrid events
that keep on pouring in
the cruelty and maliciousness
the frailty of our existence
The horrid events that are pouring in
from the horn of plenty
We can dance night away
and wake up to the chaos that remains
At the darkest hour I feel it's all the same
'cause we know that nothing's changed
just by wishing
Just by wishing

ADDING SHADES TO MONOCHROME
In the maze of contradictions
lines are blurred, no clear sides
The golden age of paranoia
unfolds in multitude of lies
In the fields of wealth and power
while pushing pacts, secret deals
ruthlessness is encouraged,
selfishness hard currency
Empathy is an aberration,
principles are obsolete
Alternative voices silenced
in so-called democracies
And I don't have any answers
Some greater knowledge I don't withhold
I don't have the means to change the world
I'm just adding shades to monochrome
Publicity whores running rampage
Mind-imploding media stunts
These human impersonators
are licked by hordes of sycophants
The overwhelming blandness suffocates us all
The lowest common denominator
And I don't have any answers or means to cope
but to add some shades to monochrome
No, I don't have any answers
Some greater knowledge I don't withhold
I can only hope to get on by
by adding shades to monochrome

LUNAR LULLABYE
Artificial mounds of dust
casting shadows on the
endless fields of grey
The lifespan of this species
has come to an end
Brilliant times of knowledge
gone
Carbon based carcass
turning into moondust
Sleep now Star Child
Sleep, now you've found the peace
Each species has it's course
the glory and the fall
Boldly go and
then no more
Carbon based carcass
turning into moondust
Sleep now star child
Sleep, now you've found the peace
Sleep now Star Child
in the waves of the sea
of tranquillity
