Description

Wrap your arms around me
Be a little bit more funny,
so you don’t always gotta run away honey
See a baby bunny
on a sunny day, mayday
Minds going astray
Better lay in the shade
Spread no hate
Before it’s too late
Don’t always hide your pain
Sunlight reveals the best of the rest
White bright light makes the eyes go blind
Only the mind, sees clearly and may might
Change your ways of spending days

Ignore what once was a bore
Me and you, since the very start
With that thought I embark
On a journey that might last
Never coming back
Not a promise, just a guess
A thought that is yours to digest
To think about when you are in doubt
If you don’t believe it, speak it out loud
Me and you, since the Big Bang‘s
Playing his chant, slant
For those who ignorant
won‘t listen to the words that are important
All there is,
Some listen and some hear
Still, something’s hard to bear

I see you, but do you even see you
What you are, beyond all definitions
That sometimes come from afar
Grasping, word for word
No one told you, words ignore
A lot of what once were
Colors only true when seen
The word does little
Becomes even a little brittle
When I try to tell you about this thing called love
You have no idea what it really was
Until you‘re dead, and come back
Fearless, appears sheer and mere
Though I might get far
without always touching that scar
That always sits in your back
Til one day it breaks your neck
