Wings

Your existence is bound by walls of darkness,
And you’re just too afraid to admit it..
Haven’t you ever thought of failing, alone?
And that dream in which you try to reach out for that warmth that you once owned?
No matter the goals you hit and the barriers you cross..
There shall always be storms that wander around your thoughts..

Haven’t you ever considered death as an option?
By which you could end all your failures and get past the day of the coffins..
You write all your problems on a screen with the light on..
While your brothers and sisters wouldn’t even know that they’re mentioned in this song..
Your own shadows create barriers with no passage for light..
I feel taped by my limitations – and I’m scared to put up a fight..

It’s the same air we breathe,
On the same soil that we breed,
The same notes that we hold,
The same way in which we get old,
The same God that we pray,
The same mistakes that each one of us make..
You and I are soldiers o f the same war..
Yet, we turn against our own,
And don’t give out a hand, each time when we crawl…

All these years, I’ve tried standing tall..
No matter how hard I try, I always think that I’d fall..

We all find our ways to play out our needs,
Yet we’re trapped between heights of colourless tress..
I’m not yet ready to plunge into this ocean of blood,
Simply cause I haven’t gotten a chance to ride my own pulse..

If I were a monument, I would request you to leave me alone,
I’m only but a seed, awaiting my birth..

Find your wings..
Fly,

Fire, Oh Fire!

Fire, oh fire. How you always find a way to burn...

Why don’t your broken flames ever disappear?

When no one’s looking, you turn to me and whisper in my ear..

As your power hits me straight upon my face,

I open my thoughts and gather some strength in haste..

Why must I learn to put up with them all?

When all that I’ve trained to do is stand up when I fall??

Why must I learn to prepare for my fights?

Who gave them power to take away all my rights?

Why must I bow upon them on their order and their needs?

When all I can see is a fire spreading, yes - indeed…

Fire, oh fire. How you always find a way to burn...

Is there no drug to wash away your wounds?

You’ve spread too fast, and it’s happened too soon..

You’ve lost your control, you’ve ignited them all..

There isn’t any way to save those lives that were lost..

Why must I pray to the lord that listens no more?

Why have I a mind that is rotten with thought?

What knows a man, when life takes his love away?

If nothing lasts forever, why doesn’t my heart feel the same way?

Fire, oh fire. How you always find a way to burn...

Rolling through the grassland and through towns that haven’t even learned..

Why fate brought that upon their ungrateful lives,

They’d never imagined your flames that could rise up so high..

Fire, oh fire. How you always find a way to burn...

You always find a way to corrupt my returns..

You’ve taken over my mind, but I won’t be leaving without a fight..

The next time we meet, it’d be you on the other side..

The Wind that Shakes the Storm...

When you've wandered a thousand miles away from home,

And you've got all the time in the world..

You wonder why you made this choice at all..

It its cause you can, and you were scared that you'd fall..

 

We all regret few times, and we do our best to forget..

But the harder you try, the weaker you get..

Don't speak out your mind, cause you're scared that you'd get mocked..

So you hide behind your mask and chose to be a ghost in the flock..

The longer I stay trapped in my mind,

The louder I hear the screams of my kind..

I pray for them to never stay behind..

It's a difficult start, but it's just one life you live. It's yours and not mine..

 

And yet, there would be hundreds that can't dodge the simplest of winds..

And what when the storm hits you?

Would you give up all of your will?

 

I've tried to push myself to believe it was a lie..

But I can't deny my childhood - there's no point in crying..

Imagine how you would feel when your own parents took a while saying your name..

When all that they saw was nothing but shame..

How would it feel to be felt all alone?

When you're thinking too much, don't your petty matters seem rather too cold?

 

Push open the iron door..

Never turn and look behind..

Walk past them - don't let them control your mind..

Free Fall...

4 pm, on an open airplane – 14000 feet off the ground..

The 5 of us dreamt of this day to come,

4 of them anxious,

But I didn’t make a sound..

The pilot flew a few more miles,

Until we figured out ways to kill some time..

Having done this before, each time felt the same..

We took a leap of faith, and all of us prayed..

Like fireflies they seemed, while the engines ran loud..

We looked at each other, from between the clouds..

Fading away, as the airplane disappeared,

We felt like young children, in heaven we were..

We climbed through our thoughts for moments too long,

And then suddenly we’re singing.. We’re singing our song..

The song takes me to a happier place..

It’s love in the skies, when I look at their face..

When we’re alone, we feel free like the skies..

But the world never recognizes us the same way otherwise..

None of us regret any moment we’ve shared..

The moments from start and the finish that lies ahead…

I’ll never forget the air hitting my face and the clouds brushing me by..

The most memorable fall..

It was all I had planned to do, with all my friends at my side..

A day we always talk about, forever and always..

The most memorable fall..

We live now, and for always we will. We never left the skies..

We’ll always remember the last time we’d hear our voices while singing the last verse of our song..
We live now, and for always we will. Cuz we never left the skies..
We never left the skies..

The most memorable fall..

There isn't any light left for us anymore...

You'd probably imagine heaven,

Even if I asked you not to picture that sky..

Did I just distort your vision,

When you watched the angels cry?

They screamed and they cried,

As they begged for their lives..

When God gave them none,

And gave them no wives..

They tore off their wings,

And fell all the way down..

But all that they found,

Was hell above ground..

Could I mix all your thoughts,

Before you try and join all the dots?

Each time we pray for more rain,

The Angels weep over pain..

Greed and discomfort,

Is all that's left of us..

As I watch hell from above,

I choose not to run..

If I’m running too fast,

I might trip and fall..

And seep right through my bed of clouds..

I'm forever trapped between heaven and hell,

But I choose to run anyways..

I run so fast, and out of this cage..

Clean up my dream, burn all of my rage..

As I’m just another step away from my final step,

I take out my eyes, so I can never see what's coming next..

But I see clear light, for the very first time,

As I feel the fresh air, blowing right through my eyes..

Two worlds left to battle, and I'm on no side..

The forthcomings are unfortunate,

Even for an angel as I.

Dreams?

''I was once a kid, a very handsome kid. As old as you are, perhaps.. And i had dreams.. Oh! I had big great dreams.. I would dream of living the great life, with the prettiest wife and have a few children of my own.. I would always smile..

Soon, the room I would sleep in would turn dark - like after an arrow wept straight through a young girl's heart. Some days, I felt my shadow trying to guide my ways back to the start.. But, I would always lose myself in the process. Strangely, I had created a maze of my own. I was trapped.

One day, I turned back at the gaze & put on a mask. 'A fighter' - something I could never become - my shadow would turn to me and say. I wanted to fight for my country. So I did. With nothing to lose, I escaped my maze and ended up in another one instead.

I was reckless and I didn’t care. A few wept for days, but most of them never cared..

I turned numb.

It was about time that I lost both my legs. The bullet ruptured my spine and paralyzed me. The room that I once slept in turned dark - it felt like an arrow that wept straight through a young girl's heart. My dream had begun.

I thought that I’d finally escaped the mazes that I'd created for myself. But I was wrong about them all.
In coma, I beg to the stars, 'Wake up' I cry - once every hour..
Broken, forever.

The Strongest Chain..

Broken strings can’t fix the same way,

As a broken heart won’t ever feel the same way..

I watched my own kind, wash by the shore last night,

The candles still burn without any light..

Shadows of sadness, downed by tears, time and time again..

Makes you wonder how you’d ever stop mourning, and get out of this pain..

I stand there, all by myself..

Waiting to take the leap of faith..

I look below,

And I see the sky..

What if I’ve been deceived?

All of this, another lie..

Each day, I add a drop to the ocean bed..

Is today, the day, when I end my end?

But I choose love,

Over all the things that I just said..

And I think of the world that all of us share..

The one thing that holds us all together..

Every day, we walk. We touch the same soil..

We bring to each other, some form of light..

Together, we hold the strongest chain..

And if I plunge tonight,

It’s not just one life that I break..

A shift in destiny is what I create..

Love always kills hate..

Happiness will always battle out rage..

Peace destroys war..

Death could also be looked at, as being born..

Truth always catches lies..

And a clean heart will never have to worry about goodbyes..
