Hurt you

Hurt you
Your mind was never open.
Your ears were always closed.
I drew the flaming sword of disbelief
and slashed your wings from your back.
You fell helpless to the ground.
And the ground made a real good impact.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
I didn't want you to leave.
All the things I had to say
were said, but not percepted.
When you led us the wrong way
I felt you should be corrected.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
I didn't want you to leave,
but I didn't mind.

Blue shift

Blue shift
I travel so fast that I can't find a place
where my mind doesn't start to drift.
I am struck by the infinite mass of space
but I shouldn't feel blue, it's just the blue shift.
I saw my brother age so fast.
What I left behind has turned to red.
But the traffic lights, I went past.
It's a relative thing, as Albert said.
I'm gonna spend my life at the speed of light.
I'm gonna die young, relatively.
The faster I go, the shorter I get.
at the same time as my weight increase.
I regard my BMI with some regret
but it's a part of my restless soul's disease.
The struggle for power, happiness, wealth.
I crashed into the asphalt, but I'm not dead
so who am I to complain about health?
They are relative things, as Albert said.
I'm gonna spend my life at the speed of light.
I'm gonna die young, relatively.
Live fast, die young
Live faster, die younger
Live fast, die young
Live faster, die shorter
Live fast, die young
Live faster, die heavier
Live fast, die young
Live faster, die bluer
I'm gonna spend my life at the speed of light.
I'm gonna die young, relatively.
I'm gonna spend my life at the speed of light.
I'm gonna die short, relatively.
I'm gonna spend my life at the speed of light.
I'm gonna die heavy, relatively.
I'm gonna spend my life at the speed of light.
I'm gonna die blue, relatively.
I'm gonna spend my life at the speed of light.
I'm gonna die as everyone else.

Communication error
We have so many ways.
To communicate.
That we tend to forget.
The simplest, easiest, best.
Why use e-mail?
Why use speech synthesis?
Why use automatic translation?

Much talk

Much talk
Talk less do more
that is what I'm longing for
you to do.
You have to pay for what you get
or I won't stay and you'll regret
the lies you told to make me glad.
The great ideas you never had (is just...)
Much talk, less action. Much talk.
Much talk - a fraction of promises kept.
You know I fear
that I always have to hear
sweet cheap lies.
I'm your future - care for me!
I'm your hope - be scared of me!
I'm your friend though it depends
on your result in the end.

The power of thought

The power of thought
Let self betrayal
be your closest friend.
Let's hope and pray you'll
not comprehend
that lies gives you life.
It is lies that gives you life.
The power of thought
is stronger than muscles
is stronger than reality
if you dare to believe
Escape your duty
escape your past
and find the beauty
in things that last,
in dreams that never die.
You can dream until you die.
Let self betrayal
be your closest friend.
Escape your life
until the end
in dreams that never die.

The golden path
Is this our future?
Is this our hope?
The golden path to happiness?
Ferment.
Wait.
Wait.
Wait.
Heat
up
to (three four five six)
seventyeight.
Lead
away
fumes.
Gather.
Heat
up
again
and again (again again again and again...)
Lead
away
fumes
again.
Gather and enjoy!
Is this our future?
Is this our hope?
The golden path to happiness?
So many reasons
to explore/to ignore the benefits of chemistry
the side effects of chemistry.
Repent!
We must
quench
our thirst first (second third ...)
for power
in the
eleventh
hour
or wake
with
endless
headache
to see
the mercury
rising
again again again and again...
Our
spirits
falling
and biology failing.
Is this our future?
Is this our hope?
The golden path to happiness?
So many reasons
to explore the chemistry of happiness.

Jag får som jag vill

Jag får som jag vill
Jag är ditt hjärtas slag.
Jag är din viljas lag.
Jag är den som styr dina kraftlösa steg.
Det är underbart
att du vägrar se klart.
När det kommer till kamp är du alltför feg.
Jag får som jag vill - du står under min kontroll.
Jag får som jag vill - varje gång.
Jag får som jag vill och det spelar ingen roll
Att det svider i din själ när jag får som jag vill.
Du står under mitt beskydd.
Du kan alltid vara trygg
likt en fluga fast i spindelns nät
så finns du hos mig
fast jag konsumerar dig.
Om du gick upp i rök var jag den första som grät.
Om du hade vetat vilka trådar jag drar i
Hade du då vågat klippa banden?
Om du hade vetat vilka trådar jag styr dig med
Hade du då vågat stå utanför, utanför min kontroll?

Sluta tala fint om kärlek
Jag hör ditt rop.
Jag hör ditt skrik på hjälp,
men jag står där jag står.
Jag fattade,
Jag fattade till slut
att jag borde fatta be-
SLUTa tala fint om kärlek.
Kärleken är död.
Rådlösheten gör mig galen.
Jag behöver stöd.
Inget val
är också ett val,
som skadar och för-
GÖR jag fel?
Gör jag fel som tror
att ärlighet är en dygd.
Jag struntar blankt i idealen
när fruktan tär min kropp.
För olyckskorpar kom och stal den,
lyckan som vi fått.
Jag hör ditt rop.
Jag hör ditt skrik på hjälp,
men jag står där jag står,
men jag förstår dig så väl.

The memory of EZ

The memory of EZ
We had 13 years together,
maybe I forgot you at times
and took you for granted
as a child who always wants more,
but you were always there for me
ready to save some precious moments
the magical moments that seldom occur
You were my memory,
now everything I can remember is you
You backed me up when I was down
You knew the things that I forgot
but the secrets that you kept within you
will forever be lost, forever be lost
With mesmerizing precision
And magnetizing velocity
You strengthen me in my decision
By showing us the futility
In single-mindedly putting trust
In fragile, rotating memory
I will move on, I really must
I can't wait for solid state!
All the songs we played together
will they ever be heard again?
Not with your help!
I have to start all over again
in a puzzle with no clue
shattered into a billion bits
scattered in darkness of silent deceit.
And even if I found
someone like you, a perfect match
It's condemned to break, to break down
the years and dust have made you weak
so the secrets that you kept within you
will forever be lost, whatever the cost
The memory of EZ will remain
Anomoly of DC drove you insane
