Lusis

What are all the lights for?
There’s no reason for a celebration.
Within this four concrete walls I scream
Nobody hears a word.

I curse the day I wished for this.
I longed and hoped and prayed
But you are weak.
And so am I.

A demon can’t comprehend
This lifeless constellation
Beneath clouds of dust there lay the stars
To which I wished for the universe.

The song is heard but misunderstood
For words can’t speak for themselves.
They long to be recognized, they ache to be read.
But no two pairs of eyes are the same.

Oh, Polaris, take me now
Let me breathe in a different atmosphere
Where stars are everything
And not just the fire in his eyes.

Someone lie to me.
Tell me nothing’s gonna be ok.
Liar, liar, lie to me…
Oh, make me fade into the night.

It's So Hard to Look at You When I'm Having Double Vision and Pink Ears

"There’s no more yours or mine, it’s ours."

Two hours. It’s for two hours.
Can we walk the walk?
We lay frozen, we lay cold
Sullenly still, silently distant.

Does it feel right, does it feel better?
Does it feel different now we’re together?
I crossed my fingers and wished for the sun
And it did rise, it did shine…

"We can work this out. I know it. We can work this out…"

You say, you think, you feel that something for me
This I believe, I’m afraid I do
I see it in your eyes, the reflections of truth.
The truth? Yeah, the bastard truth that lies.

For I know what you’re looking for.
I know what’s within, I know what’s going on
Inside you is an oblivion of mixed-up deliberations
So why do I still listen to you?

"We are blessed with something you can rarely find in ordinary people… We have us."

But love is love is love is love
And words are words are words are words.
And words can be said in different ways
If you’re clever… and you are. Damn, you are clever.

And love is such a tired, old ride… but glorious.
So tangible, so normal, perhaps quite uncomfortable.
I do understand now why we meet again.
Our eyes have met and so did everything else.

But I do not feel better, I do not feel right.
I do not feel anything, but I somehow see the light.
We crossed our fingers and wished for the sun,
But it is already setting… but leaving us a beautiful scene.

Even the Dragonflies Don't Know When It's Gonna Rain

My bathroom lights went on and off
Even the bulbs can’t choose
So I wished on stars and clouds of smoke
For Sirius, my polaris.

The night shouldn’t end at eight o’clock
For goodness’s sake, it’s Saturday.
So together let us let two worlds collide,
Without even trying to comprehend.

It’s in the air and all around us, love is.
And I’m having difficulty in breathing.
Struggling and grasping, desperate for oxygen
Don’t let me die, don’t let me die in vain…

Suddenly we had our own hemisphere.
Suddenly the walls seemed to talk.
It made me think of moonstones and fireflies
Without definite meaning, but pointless infinite words.

We are, we are on the same wavelength.

But in ten seconds this could all be over,
‘Cause for ten long days we just had luck on a clover.
But ten more months and I will hate you never,
‘Cause with my last ten hours we could make this forever.

We are, we are on the same wavelength…

Let my bedroom lights go on and off
‘Cause even the stars at the ceiling are sure.
They shine so brightly, oh how they shine so brightly with glee.
I shut my eyelids close and it’s you smiling at me.

The Grass on the Other Side Still Spells Heartache

with everyday i’m longing for more,
you always make my heart feel sore.
with the awkward silence i can’t hear a sound,
how i wish you could just go blend with the crowd.

i don’t want you near.

or is it reverse psychology ’cause i want you here…?

but i don’t want you closer,
’cause if we get to that, i feel it’ll soon be over.
no more wanting and hoping,
no more wishing for nothing.

no more staring at the ceiling for an answer.

don’t leave the door open, never allow me to enter.
lock it shut and seal your window,
for i could shatter it to pieces with my wounded elbow.

i don’t want you near…

you whisper words i’ve been wanting to hear.
or do i really want to listen to them?
i don’t want to hear you speak so solemn.

i don’t want you near…

’cause everytime you are, i am filled with fear.
and everytime you are not, my heart does seek.
but i can hold back, i can settle for one peek.

i can settle for one peek…

i’m contented with the sight of your left cheek.
and nobody would notice, nobody would care,
nobody would ask, nobody would stare.

nobody would care…

and i’ll be hanging amidst the cold air…
and you? oh, i don’t know.
we could take it all back or together we could glow.

together we could glow…
