Walk Away

I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said 'I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver"
I love the sound of you walking away
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear
And I am cold
Yes I'm cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away

Why don't you walk away?
No buildings will fall down
Why don't you walk away?
No quake will split the ground
Why don't you walk away?
The sun won't swallow the sky
Why don't you walk away?
Statues will not cry

I cannot turn to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong and stay an unbeliever
And love the sound of you walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye
I'm not cold
I am old
At least as old as you are
As you walk away

And as you walk away
My headstone crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood wind's a howl
As you walk away
The Kremlin's falling
As you walk away
Radio 4 is static
As you walk away

The stab of stiletto
On a silent night
Stalin smiles
Hitler laughs
Churchill claps
Mao Tse-Tung
On the back

Walk Away, by Franz Ferdinand.

Cry

And then she said,
"What's that on your eyes?"
She touched me. Yes, I was crying.
"For many years I've tried, but now I'm too tired to hide.
No reason why. Just need to cry."
And then she said,
"I'm sorry I asked."
She kissed me and took this pain off my chest. Each tear
that fell down vanished in the ground.
"No need to dry. Just need to cry."

Insomniac

"You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain.
You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane."

I'm So tired, by The Beatles.

Across The Universe

Words are flying out like
endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy
are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me .

Jai guru deva om.
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe.
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box,
they tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe.

Jai guru deva om.
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter, shades of life
are ringing through my open ears
exciting and inviting me.
Limitless undying love, which
shines around me like a million suns,
It calls me on and on across the universe

Jai guru deva om.
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Jai guru deva.
Jai guru deva.
