Story of.. 04:26
The stone walls which he touched at least a hundred times, He pressed the nails deep in the skin not knowing whether it’s a dream or reality. The pulse rate was still high Spiderwebs reminding him of the web of his thoughts shivered steadily A pleading voice and a vision of a morning dawn he almost hadn’t known He wrote the story he found himself in into the dust on the floor Memories remained pressed deep, only sleep became his sanctuary A beautiful landscape, growth, trees, a scent carried by the symphony of recollections Sometimes the dreams went black and awakening was heavy like a tar left in these walls Snow was falling, crying and waited for the small impulse of hope For the passing movement behind the doors which still are a great unknown

One Lost Gun 05:17
Your car on the crossroad, the moonshine was so sharp Shard incised deep inside Broken window and a familiar feeling in the stomach Footprints vanish in the distance Gun is nowhere to be seen The head full of mess The fear for the family To take the fate on one’s shoulders? To offer sacrifice so great? To sacrifice one’s life It will flow through the fingers like a sand To catch just a few grains and live through a little part The little part of that which people ceased to honour You are sitting on your bench, musing, staring to the void Where is justice? Where has (where’s) humanity gone? This night like that time. Everything is coming back… You see it like it was today… Just one thought in the head One lost gun One lost life Is there a chance to see the sun again?

Not to be alone, lust and sadness. How much strenght do we have? We are charming ourselves. In wonder and tears we wade. Thrown into the curse so known. In the long struggle with ourselves. The one of the hardest. Not to be alone. Not to remain alone. At any price? How many of use are going trough this? Looking for the right ones and breaking down the others? Loneliness crossed into desire that wont let you sleep. Eyes wide open. The mornings into which you do not want to wake. The burden of reality. Two planes of reality. Imprisoment in the labyrinth of fiction. The soul wanders astray, searching. Words fly trough the wind. And we are calling that known, curse with shiver in our backs. What will heal us? Is there a way out of the intrique.
5.
Hands into fists. My Anger Your tears. Everything that was inside has expanded. So many broken things. Too much wail. An ardent character. A hot brain. One boy. One mother, father and sister Blind injustice. Blind perception of what we call care. Journey from nails to the velvet calm. Still couldn´t believe that peace will come. The idea seemed incredible. More calm, more politic acts. And edges that seemed sharp are smooth now. I wanna take care of them.
