the compulsion to be strong
only falls
away when we ourselves
recognize
this deep despair
the moment
we realized
that control
was our downfall
we no longer sought it
greed war hate terror
grief pain faith fire
love hope poison death
destruction healing and redemption
we need to see the patterns
of control
to break the fetters of a world
built on greed
power and possessions
it is only possible
to understand
life if we don't want to be someone
else and don't follow anyone
greed war hate terror
grief pain faith fire
love hope poison death
The mirrors that we broke
the compulsion to be strong
only falls
away when we ourselves
recognize
this deep despair.
the moment
we realized
that control
was our downfall,
we no longer sought it.

Suicide And Grief
06:55
|

In anticipation, of the end
It is harder than you thought, to let your life go
The world of mourning, I’m leaving now
The world of sorrow, misery and grief
Everything was considered, not left to chance
Thought about it thousand times, just a small step
The world of mourning, I’m leaving now
The world of sorrow, misery and grief
Staring into a hole, this one is deep
Surrounded by darkness, this one is black
The world of mourning, I’m leaving now
The world of sorrow, misery and grief
Do we find salvation, in the hereafter?
We are left with the choice, of trying death

My hand is shaking, I’m trying to write and ..
To write you a letter, the thoughts that I can’t describe
The pencil keeps falling, falling down
Falling down of, from my fingers
My eyes wander, over the battlefield
Abandoned, by all hope
The images of horror, I can’t think straight
tank traps covered, with guts, blood and mud
I count the spikes on, the sweet barbed wire
Life is leaving, life left me

Ancient Way
06:59

In this constant
struggle we call life
we try to establish
a code of behavior
that corresponds
to the society
in which we
grew up.
We accept a ancient way of life
as part of a tradition into which we happen to be born
For centuries
we have been ruled
by our authorities
and by our saints.
We expect
them to reveal
to us all that lies
beyond the hills
We accept a ancient way of life
as part of a tradition into which we happen to be born
Mind, Body, Unity, Dead

Old Thoughts

old thoughts
that I had buried
crawl back up into
my head and tremble
i´m digging
through the depths of
the past, a viscous
mud of rage
i tried to
resist the downfall
of all hope
i have to
break my thought structures
and rearrange them.
try to control the chaos
if i knew
where this pain came from
I would still
ignore it
it's so hard to get away from that
what calls you into the abyss
nothing exists far below
i tried to
