Sometimes Love is Evil

Opening the box, I hid from everyone
Count the layers of dust, years coming off
Carried the key close me, and I changed all the locks
I lift the lid to unleash, my abandoned heart
I put it away, from you
I put it away, for good
Tried to follow through
Knuckles knocking on wood
But a heart not turned to stone,
Apparently can't be denied
Her misplaced hope
A long lost fight, cause
Sometimes love is evil
Sometimes love is evil
A thousand tiny needles
Sometimes love is evil
My heart out on parole, looking for a loophole
But you know in time, that you won't be in control
A craving that can't be cured , a hole that never heals
A shared desire, you know how it feels..
..Feels like a burn,
Hot and cold
And you know how it goes
People tend to get too close
All those little boxes, buried away
And they all look just the same small coffins, heart shaped
Just in case, cause
Sometimes love is evil
Sometimes love is evil
A thousand tiny needles
Sometimes love is evil

DOOA

The mother of my mother, breaths a sigh
after 89 years living life
She doesn't need to speak, to speak her mind
That much I've learned in only 25
Still many years
To become peers
If grandma wants to say goodbye
Hasn't she finally earned the right
She says I don't need to be afraid, no
Only of a death too long delayed
Seems so surreal
I don't know how I feel
My first grey hairs have arrived
No true love's yet in sight
She lost her love long before his time
And now she wants to join him in the endless night
So the rules must bend she says
Time to meet and greet the end
Dying of old age
A blessing so many hope awaits
Body becomes cage
A burden, are you ready to face
Dying of old age
A blessing so many hope awaits
Body becomes cage
A burden, are you ready to face
Dying of old age
Old bones broken by, the wait
Body becomes cage,
There is only one one final escape, escape

Simple Things

Simple thing
What does it mean
To a king or queen
To old and young
In different tongues
To no-ones and nomads
Why am I so bad
At simple things
Simple thing
To keep it light
Break my wings
While I'm in flight
And I feel it now
As I'm falling down
There's something heavy about
Simple things
Make believe is trying to keep me
from your side, from your side
Fantasies, that run so deep
to keep it light, keep it light
Simple fling
Child's play to you
Elementary stuff
You called my bluff
Cause these invisible strings
People seem to pull
I want to see them too
I want to feel aligned
But I must be blind
To simple things
Make believe is trying to keep me
from your side, from your side
Fantasies, that run so deep
to keep it light, keep it light
In the clear, I disappear, I want you here
In my wordless world, no strings attached, no marionettes
Where I can connect, my idle wish, for your simple kiss
Make believe is trying to keep me
from your side, from your side
Fantasies, run to deep
to keep it light, keep it light

Simmer Down

In this house you can let go of your lows
Untie your shoes and cut loose, all tight ropes
Eat my bread, drink my sweet ageless wine
Close your eyes, believe me, don't ask why
The fire burns, let it fight through the cold
The record spins, it tells your tale, untold
I know that you think you don't deserve
Anything, certainly not love
A tale, so familiar
The pale face of failure
Simmer down, all I need is your trust
Slowing down your pulse and its rush
Cause I've been here many times, so try and forget
Anything, that is not worth your strength
These walls are filled with old tales and small holes
Pictures used to hang here, now their gone
Their stories stayed, can you hear what they sing
A victim's blues, how someone lost something
A tale, so familiar
The pale face of failure
