Game Over
What if I already know what you're like inside?
Now I can take you apart, and make you into my machine.
Well, I don’t have any regrets, don’t make me feel your guilt,
And now what if I only need, to take a little revenge?
And this awkward silence is woven from your fears,
On the verge of violence, I feast on your tears.
And do you know
Why?
You can't ever to hide your secret thoughts from me,
Because I solved your riddles to slay your soul.
I was involved,
Against my will
Game over
Now I build you into my machine.

Gerda's Song

Gerda’s song
The darkness not dark anymore
The shadows faded and forlorn.
No longer fears I felt before,
Or shedding tears of one lovelorn.
Someone stole your heart
And made you cruel, and all I could do is (just go)
Looking for you till I dissolve,
Cause I dared to wish for your love.
I go and leave behind a thousand miles of hopes
Your eyes are closed
By some shadowy hand,
Your heart will frost
like this dark, snowy land.
I'm only afraid of being late
to find your heart in crystal shards
It makes me want to run so fast,
and never look back to the past.
If I could melt your frozen heart

Sugar White
As this snow slowly intrudes,
On my mountain of solitude,
It covers the earth with this sugar white
and everything else is left behind.
If I could only stop this time
To catch that moment, and rewind...
If I could only touch your heart
Like snowflakes fall on skin to remind
For an instant like a sudden flash
That's hard to keep in your mind
Just like some subtle scent
Like vanilla in the air...
Just an instant like
It's me fading from your mind…
La-la
And hiding somewhere in your heart…
The longing comes so quiet
While it's snowing softly outside,
As if gently covering sorrow
That I only want to hide...

Notches
Even if I craved in vain and hungered for your love,
I made a lot of notches, see how many cuts in my bosom,
I've made them all, as it eases my hurt.
If only I knew how risky it was
To fall so far for your lures,
And being naive as a little girl is
When she walks into the woods.
Playing with edged tools, unaware
And being captivated
Unaware
Your victim
I wish to leave your garden, you know
All the roses are now dying, you know
At midnight the moths spoiled the water,
Whispering a spell now fire holds its flutter.
Don’t fill my heart with such red dark,
Don’t touch my thorns they are too sharp,
My wounds are bleeding, blood like wine
Tastes sweet enough, so red red dark…
All your cages will empty soon,
There nobody will ever croon.
I made a lot of notches, see how many scars in my heart,
I’ll keep them all, though they still hurt.

For Alice
Run, running, we are running,
Rush, rushing, we are rushing…
Go toward, toward goals,
But are there any goals?
We’ll pass through, through the wall of obstacles you’ve built
We’ll have to, to make you feel a little guilt
Are you filled full of doubts?
Like dark water in a jar,
Overflowing in your heart,
Seeping out through your cracks.
We’ll come to brake the rules, to take you with us somewhere far,
And we’ll ignore the cues, and avoid their radar.
When all your fears are gone, there comes a liberty,
Just know, no one was wrong, there is no guarantee.
Are you ready to jump in?
Are ready to fall in?
Into the unknown
But don’t be scared,
To jump in to
To fall in to...
Run, running, we are running,
Rush, rushing, we are rushing…
Go toward, toward goals,
But are there any goals?
Fast, faster, must be faster,
Don't think, it doesn't matter
when you are looking forward
Go toward, go forward.
We’ll come to brake the rules, to take you with us somewhere far,
And we’ll ignore the cues, and avoid their radar.
When all your fears are gone, there comes a liberty,
Just know, no one was wrong, there is no guarantee.

Spaceship
We’ll never know about, maybe just guess about…
Where the universe hides its best place?
I tried,
To make chaos decent, to make it magnificent,
And warm it a little bit since it’s your home.
Drive your spaceship on your way,
And you’ll get back home, keep your way
My wanderer,
Just know that
My dreams are your home…
Come along with me into my dreams,
My dreams are your home
Even if your way is too long…
Return to home
Return home
Somewhere far from me,
In some distant galaxy
And now you know, there's nothing better to follow than your own way home,
So, keep your way to find between the hollow stars the chance to get home
and you’ll be there…
My dreams are your home

Radiant
From our hearts it gushed
The shiny, radiant like
Glorious stream it rushed
Swept in an instant, like
sparkling in the night
With all its brilliance, we
yearn toward the light,
Blinded by first sight.
Though the mind is dazed,
We keep our distance,
Nothing so amazed
As this circumstance.
Closer than between,
Between molecules
It's boiling underneath,
Under our skin…
And it burns to a shining forth,
And it burns and it's shining forth…
Look, it's so bright…
Unable to resist burning rays,
no sight… because
It’s higher amperage
Those throbbing lights inside
Spill over the edge,
Impossible to hide…
Even to understand
What makes us so different
when our hearts demand
to feel this super-current? cause
Though the mind is dazed,
We keep our distance,
Nothing so amazed
As these circumstances
Closer than between,
Between molecules
It's boiling underneath,
Under our skin…
It's burning us within,
Within it's sweet flame.
we're covered with it's sheen,
So it doesn’t seem
Like when you only dream,
Just another feeling -
When you really In…
In this love…

To make her little fist
while hiding her tears

Then dame becomes a queen,
You should know my little girl,

Whenever it really hurts,
You're never scared to go into the deep
and burn everything to hell in one burst.
Go ahead girl, try to find your way,
Go ahead little girl
Even if it seems too dark,
Don’t be scared to go in.
You have so many angels protecting you,
Just know that
Go ahead girl.

And you will glory over everything,
So, don’t cry my girl, my little queen
One day you'll rule over everything.
My little girl
My little one…

Fireflies
I do believe, I have a wish for the stars,
When they're twinkling I whisper that you will…
Follow me even in the dark,
Follow me even if I'm wrong.
I’ll keep the moments in my heart
and cherish them till we are…
...dancing with the fireflies
Whirling in the dance like butterflies
Under the starry deep blue sky
I only wish for our souls to fly…
Our souls to fly
Keep dancing, until we can do,
Keep dancing, although the night is short
Inhaling scent far-off pristine,
From flowers that we've never seen,
Before we're ready to fall in
Into this love
Follow me even in the dark,
Follow me even if I'm wrong,
I’ll keep the moments in my heart
and cherish them till we are…
...dancing with the fireflies,
Whirling in the dance like butterflies,
Under the starry deep blue sky
I only wish our souls to fly…

Gingerbread house
Here, where the moment's doomed to pass right by,
The mind so misleading and flickering as if it’s blind.
And overdue from life to life…
The dreams that you still carry with
The dreams that you can’t part with
When you die a bit inside,
You can’t keep pretending like,
Like me painting a happy life,
A scared and obedient dull wife
Convinced myself,
As all of them did.
So convince yourself,
As I once did.
What is this story about?
When you just walk and walk around?
Meanwhile you’ve tired so much,
So go on there into my house…of
Gingerbread house,
Rest in my gingerbread house…
Do not stop spinning, to spin the wheel of life,
Like me,
Like them pour in,
Into bloodstream of
This endlessly terrestrial...
It circulates, it’s special,
There’s nothing else so crucial
like breathing in?
See, my garden's always empty,
No roses bloom, not even one bee.
Your hidden will portrays for you,
An oblivion of artificial milieu..

Golden Sands
I called the wind out of the void,
With the purpose to destroy.
And all secret doors are open now,
From dusk to dawn.
Dipping deep into my fickle black mind,
And this bad game no never ever ends for us,
You look like me, so we are almost same blood,
Born to live among the sordid queens.
Let me turn to haze so that you're shady
Secret thoughts between the lines.
When the elven song is sung already,
When the bloody moon will rise.
Sifting through your desert,
Looking for a clue,
I find the door into secrets,
your world between worlds.
Hey you, do you feel?
I'm in your dreams
And your golden sands will turn into dust,
And my winds will scatter them,
I wish to wilt away the sadness in your heart,
Then come into your dreams again.
So as golden haze I'm in your mind
As your endless dream I’m in your mind
When the stars are dancing till the morning,
Grains of gold are layering and covering
your cracks are healing where it’s broken,
Now your heart is beating and loving…
And the only dream between,
There is only dream between us..
Between us…
