God gave me a dog
to teach me about my humanity
To keep me away from my hypocrisies 
to make me less mundane

It is small and frail
walking around aimlessly
Following me tirelessly 
its sweetness will always prevail 

Growing up together
Lessons nobody else could teach you
Tearing away my blue

Don't go away, don't go away
Be always here with me
my heart won't ever set you free

Why must I let you go?
To heavens above
I won't forget you
or the lessons you taught me out in the blue.

Miles and miles away ... Where do I go?
Where can I hide?

God gave me you, the Devil gave me traveling shoe
God gave me the wanderer's eye
The Devil a few gold coins .. to take me away from your side.

God gave you hunger
The Devil gave my compliance.
God gave you looks
The Devil take you away from me (gave to him)

God gave me a prison
The Devil opened up the door
God made me surrender
The Devil gifted me beggars' eyes.

Am I Home?

Miles and miles away ... Where do I go?
Where can I hide?

So The Devil gave me travelling shoes,
Gave me one last reprieve.
He then gave you hunger,
To deny me the air to breath.

The Devil gave me time ... for one last good-bye
God saw what He did
and then sent the jackals
To take you away from me.

Miles and miles away ... Where do I go?
Where can I hide?

Am I home?

...and then there was sadness
fueled by rage
and a profound silence.

...words written down on a computer screen.
fueled by love
and a profound silence.

I drive away through empty streets
looking for consolation at the bottom of a bottle.

For I dreamed the impossible dream, over a wireless network
Faces I have never seen
Places I have never been
Numbers on the bottom of a page inflate ones ego.
Promises can be bought so very cheap…
…after a couple of lines exchanged … they soon dissolve to bytes in a sea.

…and I'm back in the twilight again, among famous strangers. Back at the bottom of the bottles as they pile up at the end of the bar.
My torn dreams refuse to die peacefully.
It will be a long fight, that is for sure
I know this one I will not endure. I am tired of fighting alone. 

Starless nights

I never had a wish granted
Nor a blessing beneath the vine
A seed of love so carefully planted
Never gave no love entwined.

I walk alone this deserted path
Knowingly hazed by its demise
I seek love in the face of wrath
I see only pain in desguise.

Starless nights so weak and weary
Put be back where I belong
Love's painful, ungreatful and leery

Your eyes, like stars
Fail to guide me
I have no hope, only scars.

Take my hand

Soon you will cease to exist
The elusive fuel that drives life
The faint flame that burns bright
Will finally be dismissed

Taunt me, feel my pulse
The beating heart halts
Lost in a moment, no encore
I see the angels coming by

A light that is no longer mine
Gives away reason
In death, life's the ultimate treason

Leave me be, my dear pride
Let me unveil my final destination
Hope in death I achieve elation.
