Out of Exile

Like a dream or a wish I have almost forgotten

I am back

Back in my house

Back from exile

It used to be a home

Now empty rooms with memories of you, her, him

All gone now

I miss her, but do I know her?

I won, but what exactly?

At what cost?

My life in boxes

A box of books

A birthday card full of lies

A guitar 

A leather jacket

All kept so the ghosts can...

Watch and wait

This game you're playing
Is not the kind you can win
Being hurt doesn't justify hurting
Life's cruelty doesn't explain your ways
This is you, always
You can shed many skins, but you can't lose yourself
The excuses run out
And your luck will follow
Your promises are hollow
And unfortunately for you
My wrath can only grow
Run little reptile, run
Writhe and thrash
Wear yourself out
Sell...

Only if you have to

Lie, if you wanna lie
If it makes it true
If it helps you sleep

Pray, if you wanna pray
If it hides the sins
If it'll make you a saint

Scream, if you wanna scream
If it clears your throat
If it keeps you safe

Pose, if you wanna pose
If you feel supreme
If it brings you up

Brag, if you wanna brag
If that makes you feel
If it keeps you sane

Judge, if you wanna judge
If it f...

Wolf

Your spark became a flame
Your touch was electric
This heart found a beat
A heart imprisoned in the dark
A lost ancient rhythm
So familiar but forgotten
Eternal
The sound of time
The spine unfolds
The hair stands on the back of his neck
And he howls to the heavens
His curse is freedom
Destined to roam alone
Lethal, restless, unkillable
The world is bleeding him
Only to lick his woun...

I

I am not a preacher 
I am the book
I am not a martyr 
I am pain 
I am not a flower
I am the forest
I am not a chain
I am the prison
I am not your ride
I am the road
I am not your sails
I am the ocean
I am not your wings
I am the sky
I am not your guiding star
I am the night

Good talk

What my brain thought

Is not what my mouth said

The words your ears caught

Got twisted in your head

Yet another coward

The message is loud 

The arena of love is a ruthless crowd

Do you have the guts?

Can you take a heart?

Time stands still

Kill, kill, kill!

I get on my knees

Ready to surrender and drop my sword on your feet

I seek a worthy opponent

I am longing for this moment

But, something isn't right

My eyes meet yours

A self-satisfied smirk on your face

Followed by doubt ...

Morning flight

Morning flight

The sun in your eyes

The air on your fingertips

Twist the throttle

Tuck down

Look through your eyebrows

And fly

 

What did she say?

Here we go again

 

Clench your teeth under the helmet

Clutch, downshift, brake 

The rear wheel dances on the cold tarmac

You're losing control

Like you did before

But the machine obeys your wish

It's fo...

Let's play

I say black 

You say grey

I say white

You say grey

 

I aim up

You spiral down

I hunt my dream

You wear a crown?

 

I always act

You only speak

You’re what I want

Not what I need

 

I give you some

You want much more

I stand my ground

Cause you’re a ...

 

Through cracks you slide 

I see it all

More things to hide

Who knows what for

Lines

I crossed my lines cause I was running out of air

I wasn’t

I crossed my lines cause I had reached my limit

I hadn’t

I crossed my lines cause there wasn’t another option

There was

 

I blurred my lines to let her in

I blurred the lines for a queen?

But her majesty was merely a joker

And her servants are nothing but fools

 

I am carving a new line instead

It's d...
