Crowd

I cannot flee the crowd

My feet lose themselves in the rythmn

My body swims into the sea

I cannot see my hand or recognise my face

Nor feel a breath or sigh or hint of love

Each face faceless

Each heart unseen

And yet we live and breathe as one

with one breath unfelt

wiped clean

Unseen

In time we move

In one long stretch of feet and endless days

I cannot flee the crowd

So I must swim into the sea

I cannot scream, inside I scream aloud

For I must swim into the sea

And lose myself to be set free

For if I flee the crowd

I fear i'll drown.

To Be Faceless To Be Loveless In A Crowd Alone

tell me honey
how does it feel to be lonely
to be faceless
to be loveless
in a crowd
of people, thousands of them walking
roaming this earth
all looking for love and not finding any
in a crowd of namelessness
always looking at each other
in short glimpses
without saying
hello?

tell me how does it feel now
when he left you and when you told him
i do not need you

when your heart
calls for his name saying
i still love you,
but you didn't

tell me how to tell myself when i have pretended too much
not needing anyone
when alone in my room now
i wish
i in an instant dies,
begging for company
for someone
to touch
warmth

tell me how to breathe now
tell me how to live
tell me how to love and keep love and live
this broken
heart

in this faceless, loveless
locomotion in a
crowd
where there is practically no one
to say
hello

not even goodbye.

Underneath

Sometimes it's hard when you're so deep inside
To see all you can lose in a blink of an eye
Dreams could be shattered
You could be gone
How would I survive
Cause you're where I belong
My soul-believer
Without you, I don't know who I would be
Underneath, I can feel you move through me
Inside out, you surround me
I breathe you like I'm taking my last breath
Oh, you're everything I know
So how could I let you go
Sometimes I listen to a voice that isn't mine
I disconnect from everything inside
And I have made choices
And wasted all the days
I could have been with you
Where my heart stayed
I know you've waited faithfully
Blessing our love even stronger
Underneath, I can feel you move through me
Inside out, you surround me
I breathe you like I'm taking my last breath
Oh, you're everything I know
So how could I let you go
And I've been blessed
For every kiss
For every breath
(How could I let you down)
And I've been touched,
By hands I trust
My love is risen
Underneath, I can feel you move through me
Inside out, you surround me
I breathe you like I'm taking my last breath
Oh, you're everything I know
So how could I let you
How could I let you go

Confrontation

Dr. Jekyll in lower case

Mr. Hyde caps.

Lost in the darkness
Silence surrounds you
Once there was morning
Now endless night
I will find the answer
I'll never desert you
I promise you this
Til the day that I...

DO YOU REALLY THINK
THAT I WOULD EVER LET YOU GO
DO YOU THINK ID EVER SET YOU FREE
IF YOU DO IM SAD TO SAY
IT SIMPLY ISN'T SO
YOU WILL NEVER GET AWAY FROM ME

all that you are is a face in the mirror
I close my eyes and you disappear

IM WHAT YOU FACE WHEN YOU FACE IN THE MIRROR
LONG AS YOU LIVE I WILL STILL BE HERE

all that you are is an end of a nightmare
all that you are is a dieing scream
after tonight I shall end this demon dream

THIS IS NOT A DREAM MY FRIEND
AND IT WILL NEVER END
THIS ONE IS THE NIGHTMARE THAT GOES ON
HYDE IS HERE TO STAY
NO MATTER WHAT YOU MAY PRETEND
AND HE'LL FLOURISH LONG AFTER YOUR GONE

soon you will die and my silence will hide you
you cannot choose and you'll lose control

YOU CANT CONTROL ME
I LIVE DEEP INSIDE YOU
EACH DAY YOU FEEL ME DEVOUR YOUR SOUL

i dont need you to survive like you need me
i become whole as you dance with Death
and I will rejoice as you breathe your final breath

FOR I LIVE INSIDE YOU FOREVER
WITH SATAN HIMSELF BY MY SIDE
AND NOW KNOW THAT NOW AND FOREVER
YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO SEPARATE
JEKYLL FROM HYDE

cant you see
its over now
its time to die

NO NOT I
ONLY YOU

if i die
you die to

YOU'LL DIE IN ME
I'LL BE YOU

damn you Hyde
set me free

CANT YOU SEE
YOU ARE ME

no deep inside
I AM YOU
YOU ARE HYDE

no never

YES FOREVER

The Fog

You see, Im all grown up now.
He said,
Just put your feet down child,
cause youre all grown up now.
Just like a photograph,
I pick you up.
Just like a station on the radio,
I pick you up.
Just like a face in the crowd,
I pick you up.
Just like a feeling that youre sending out,
I pick it up.
But I cant let you go.
If I let you go,
You slip into the fog...
This love was big enough for the both of us.
This love of yours was big enough to be frightened of.
Its deep and dark, like the water was,
The day I learned to swim.
He said,
Just put your feet down, child.
Just put your feet down child,
The water is only waist high.
Ill let go of you gently,
Then you can swim to me.
Is this love big enough to watch over me?
Big enough to let go of me
Without hurting me,
Like the day I learned to swim?
cause youre all grown up now.
Just put your feet down, child,
The water is only waist high.
Ill let go of you gently,
Then you can swim to me.

A Face In The Crowd

Before all of this ever went down
In another place, another town,
You were just a face in the crowd
Out in t he street walking around
A face in the crowd
Out of a dream, out of the sky
Into my heart, into my life
And you were just a face in the crowd
Out in the street, thinking out loud
A face in the crowd

To Self I Die

I pray my God a robe of white
I pray I do no wrong
That I may serve The Living Light
That I may sing Your song

I know no self can graduate
No self can rise on high
I pray all self I’d learn to hate
And to myself I’d die

I choose instead to walk Your way
To follow Christ Your Son
I choose that self would have no say
To see the battle won

You see the fool You see the proud
You see who seek for gold
You see who’s heart would please the crowd
But to Your Son stay cold

If self my God would see demise
If self You’d close life’s door
With Christ Your servant then would rise
And live forever more

I know that I’m forgiven Lord
I know I’ve found Your love
But still I’d never flee the sword
If self would rise above

Its hard for me to live like this
I see how much I fail
To so remain, I’d surely miss
The chance to flee this jail

So help me die to self my King
Stretch forth Your mighty hand
That I may rise on eagles wing
And dwell Your Promised Land

Moonlight Swim

(words & music by sylvia dee- ben weisman)
Lets go on a moonlight swim
Far away from the crowd
All alone upon the beach
Our lips and our arms
Close within each others reach
Will be on a moonlight swim
Lets go on a moonlight swim
To the raft we can race
After just a little while
Ill sit and pretend
That youre on a desert isle
With me on a moonlight swim
Though the air is cold
With kisses oh so sweet
Ill keep you warm
So very warm from head to you feet
Lets go on a moonlight swim
Were in love and above
Theres a crazy balloon
That sits winking down
And inviting us to come on in
On a moonlight swim

Just Another Moment

There he is, crossing the road,
very slowly, walking away from me.

I recognise his back, the way he walks,
his smart clothes, his elegant stride.

Once we were face to face,
united together in an embrace,
which was so powerful, filled with such desire.

Now we are no longer face to face.
All that remains is a back view,
a totally blank view.

Memories come flooding back,
I feel a pain so intense, causing an emptiness within me,
that will never go away.

And as I look towards him,
he is suddenly engulfed by a crowd of shoppers.

A faceless body, disappearing in among other faceless bodies,
and I can see him no more.

Thus, this moment becomes 'just another moment', woven into my heart,
and, into the 'photo album' of my life.

A Breath I Cherish

I cherish your breath a lot.
As your breath is a sweet sob
That chimes out tales for a reverie.
Perhaps you breathe for none but me.

At times I miss your breath
As I flee to a world of solitude.
But then is heard your breath winding in
To reach the peaks of my utopia.

Your breath gets cannonised
And my entity rebounds unto you again.
A love is born and blossomed
As I search for you in the dark.

I cherish your breath a lot.
As I too begin to breathe like you.

Sorry

Sorry I could not be there

Open my face

Surround you with lies

Comfort hides in disguise

And these are the masks

We carefully wear

Worn down

We bear them

For every occasion

Births

Marriages

And death

They keep us safe

A hearts distance

Out of arms reach

Love

I am sorry that I never told you these things,

About, what it is to live just beneath the surface

A breath away

Skin deep,

And yet

There is something left unloved

Like love.

And sorry, sorry, sorry,

So much left

Unturned unseen

These invisible things

My love, my love.

A Cure For The Broken

I swallow lumps of aching beats called lies
tormenting my body infecting what was said to be my heart
turning it more red, more love corrupted
ticking ticking away at my flesh
drilling this love throughout my body so very fast
i breathe an endless breath knowing you have the power to take it away
away forever leaving me breathless and anxious
as if i had never learned how to breathe
and killing me almost instanly for breath is not exhaled
i stare at the back of my mind i call yours
for memories of this love swim as if so filled through it
drowning me with these happy thoughts causing me to smile
evern if my face has tatooed only a frown
leaving no chance of a smile to arise, to form, TOO empty
even if water fills my mind by the second
i have no filling left to make me fell cured
cured from this disease i rapidly call love
for im addicted to the uncertainty of knowing how to feel
addicted to the love i never knew i could have
as long as i stand i have the power to breathe
as long as i breathe my heart has the power to beat
as long as it beats i have the power to love
and as long as i love i have the power to live
but what if dieing comes first?

Fundamental of Liar Chapter LXI: Crowd

Be inside of the crowd and you’ll get that euphoria strike
Be outside of the crowd and you’ll get a better spot

Be inside of the crowd and you’ll feel so high
Be outside of the crowd and you’ll find who’s right

Fatigue

Tired today

Almost a reed broken

Worded out from speech

Finding a peace

In hung silence

And these are all clouds

No dreams tail

There is nothing to reach for

But this, in this moment

Loved out of love

Tired, yes I am tired of 'I love you'

You, who must listen

You, must you love me?

Unseen I walk beside you

Must you understand?

More than a measure of breath

A day spent with empty hands

Must you know me?

How can you know?

All that is missing in the spaces

Between today and tomorrow, ?

And another year passes unseen,

And the universal parent is waiting,

Yes he is always waiting

To take us home

To take us back

To a time when we were living without want,

Only knowing we were loved,

And that is all,

And that is that!

Like A Butterfly

In my boyhood,
So sweet so lovely;
Like an eagle with its meteor eyes.
This pilot is guiding me,
This love is my hope;
Like a swarm of golden bees.
Of my unseen feet,
Of your unseen feet,
Of his unseen feet,
Of her unseen feet,
From Cape to Cape;
I am lured by the love of my growth.
Of a world so fair,
Eyes have not seen it;
It is like life beyond the tomb of love.
Ears have not heard its deep songs of joy,
This land is full of harvest;
But another race has filled it.
In silence and in fear like,
The banners up high in the sky;
Living in a better land as expected but,
A little weeping will ease my heart.
Another joy has come like,
The anthem of freed Slaves;
Where i do hear you speak like the long Amazon River.
Quiet as a stone,
A thing of beauty is of a joy;
Like a bed of straw in my boyhood,
Of the days gone by like a butterfly.

The mute singer

She cut out her tongue

So she could sing

Those unheard songs

sung

She cut out her tongue

So silently

She could unspeak herself

Free, from prison words

She cut out her tongue

So that her soul could catch the light

And let it run

Through her body transparent

Prism shining out

She cut out her tongue

To free her self

From her self

Completion

Knitted under the skin of silence

Flying unseen

Into unexplored horizons

Without

Mother

Country

Point of

Trace

She cut out her tongue

To see the eyes

Behind the face

Figurehead

The sharp and open
Leave me alone
And sleeping less every night
As the days become heavier and weighted
Waiting
In the cold light
A noise
A scream tears my clothes as the figurines tighten
With spiders inside them
And dust on the lips of a vision of hell
I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year^
A hundred other words blind me with your purity
Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance
I think about tomorrow
Please let me sleep
As i slip down the window
Freshly squashed fly
You mean nothing
You mean nothing
I can lose myself in chinese art and american girls
All the time
Lose me in the dark
Please do it right
Run into the night
I will lose myself tomorrow
Crimson pain
My heart explodes
My memory in a fire
And someone will listen
At least for a short while
I can never say no to anyone but you
Too many secrets
Too many lies
Writhing with hatred
Too many secrets
Please make it good tonight
But the same image haunts me
In sequence
In despair of time
I will never be clean again
I touched her eyes
Pressed my stained face
I will never be clean again
Touch her eyes
Press my stained face
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again

Taste Of Danger

I met you at the barricade
The speed bump where the crowd has gathered
You said the bow was breaking
You wanna get some coffee or something and then
Flow for the crowd that scatters
I found my people and nothing else matters
Bull horns scream in the stormy skies
No one listens but you still have a new tribe
Cos you love the taste of danger
It turns you on (danger)
Just take a look at your face
I know whats going on (whats going on)
You love the taste of danger
Tip-toe through the riots
? ? ? braced for action
No sense, so consequence breeds...
Bounce back at ya
Cos you love the taste of danger
So bring it on (danger)
Just take a look at your face
I know whats going on (whats going on)
You love the taste of danger
Stare at the brand new sneakers on the
Idle kiss ? ? ? speaker
These are probable days my friends
Tomorrows monday and all good things must end
The cops told the crowd they must disperse
Your pretty eyes fog as the tear gas bursts
We found the horses and we move along
And I promised Id see you but the moment was gone
You attack where the spray can splatters
Deliver us from the chokes and suckers
You and me keep the time of the presidents
Bind together for someone to vote against
Well you lost the taste for danger
And now its gone (danger)
Just take a look at your face
I know that somethings wrong (whats going on)
You lost your taste for danger
? ? ?
? ? ?
Cos you love the taste of danger
So bring it on (danger)
You love the taste of danger
You love the taste of danger
And now its gone (danger, whats going on)
You love the taste of danger

Swimming With The Dark Queen

how i wish to swim with the dark queen
how i like it that way
where i make the strokes, set aside the water with my hands
breathe,
and travel a distance,
wading throughall the liquids wrapping my body
the coldness and warmth all mixed up
the rhythm of the body sipping through
losing itself to a certain depth and coming out again triumphantly
experiencing little deaths and surging up to life again
i may pretend that i drown and i may resurrect myself with that big lie
and tell myself there is more to life than death
there is more to the struggle than simply lose myself in the depths of defeats and some uncertainties

Swim! Swim! Swim! Plunge yourself into the wates of Life
That is what my father too used to tell me once when he was alive
and so cruel and strict and unfeeling

and then i met you dark queen writing everything about swimming
how i wish to swim back to life again

and what i like most about it is that it can be done without so much talking.
