AN EGG WITH REMINISCENT PROPERTIES
1. “Sunday Prelude”
I hiss through the Sunday speech
‘Cause
I have nothing to feel
And
yet this morning
Perhaps
you’re gonna preach to my soul
And
without a word
Prove
me wrong
So
I can touch
Smile
and belong
2. “Mosaic”
I wake up knowing
that Sunshine’s in a hideout,
Looking for
stars in the dense night
I’m standing
by the window
But I can’t
seem to find
Anyone I
recognize
I don’t see
a light that I know
In the state of confusion,
I’d whisper in order
For you to
hear me rehashing your name
But I can’t
remember it, you don’t exist here
And I feel
incomplete, where you are my dear
If inside my
throat was a silencer
You couldn’t
make my ego into a mosaic
I’m a hunter that answers before you call
Please just let me pray
3. “My Lost Love”
Remember the times when I had to
Dilute your love in order to take it all
How the world ran out of air
But neither of us really cared
We just remained, running wild
Not minding whatever was passing by
It’s been too long to long for
But seems like I can’t snap out of it
The sky came crashing down on us
To cut right through the gloom
My lost love, you didn't see that
You sobered up
4. “Habit”
You
were so beautiful and didn’t know it
You don’t
know that my hand has a habit
Of
holding yours, rebelliously
You
were so beautiful, I admit it
You
don’t know my lips have a habit
Of
calling your name, again and again
5. “Walk”
Somewhere
in the city,
In
the quiet night,
On
a street that’s as empty as
A
dangerous flight.
I
am walking home
And I am dragging my feet
Again
I’ve been missing my sleep
I
know this trail
Let
me take my blame
I
cannot escape
Unusual
wind
Telling
me to stay
This
air is mean
These
steps are mad
And
I bet no one can tell
Something’s
off
6. “Jaywalking”
Some things
don’t seem like they are gonna change
And you ain’t
even acting strange
For your age
I still
shiver when you speak
So like me
You liked me
I start to
think you really need to rearrange
To me, you
still seem like a book
And I still
crumble when you sigh
So like you
I liked you
And under your
eyes
You feel
like it’s hard again and I don’t mind
You’re not
that into it
It’s just
that you’re jaywalking
7. “Love You Just In Theory”
You
used to hug me with your words
You
didn’t know how to stop
You
peeled my heart whenever your hair
Tickled
your shoulders, oh God,
I used to take breaks
Every
time we got to hold hands
Because
I didn’t want to see mine melt
And so
what now
When
I got good at goodbyes
And
it’s getting risky
Even
though the stakes were lowered
About a hundred times
Sure, I
still love the idea of you
But what’s
in my mind can’t compare
To what
seems to be true
8. “Love
Is...”
What I've been doing here,
Is getting strange
And it's not love if I forget her name
Down the same street
I stumble again
Feeling dizzy, need a tamer, day by day
I try to wiggle, as fast as I can
But I can't, it’s getting late
And like this, I'm gonna miss my train
Which I wish I did
And I wish I could wink at you from it
Smiling as if it's great
But again, another day, I'll say
Love's for those who feel the same,
They leave nothing here for us,
We're just falling apart,
Take your blame, my babe.
Love's for those that feel the same,
There's nothing left for our hearts,
Our flaws are countless darts,
We’re playing to lose the game
9. “Shivering“
If sorrow steals you,
Say they'll never separate
I craved to run away
But doubted if I could
If again I won't be a habit
If again I won’t drown in words,
I create a silhouette of you
And it’s a bit too much, I swear
Wonder when you’ll learn to see, where I wanna be,
Right now, it’s silent and cold, hope you’re not getting told
that:
I'm shivering in the rain,
That started to fall,
You know I never liked to carry an umbrella
I'm shivering in pain,
That started to grow,
Afraid to protect myself
And to forget
10. “Lazy”
I stay safe under my blanket
But everyone
is nagging me
Oh,
so very, sometimes, I will miss you,
I
won’t overcome you easily
I
flicker like a fireman,
Oh,
so occupied,
Mumbling
his serenade,
For
strangers passing by
I stay safe under my blanket,
While
everyone is nagging me,
Very
sometimes, oh, do I miss you
But
I’ll say that I’m just a bit lazy
I
need somebody, but only want you
My jealousy
takes over,
To
tell the truth would be a lie,
‘Cause in my head you’re still my bae,
I stay safe under my blanket,
As
everyone is nagging me,
I
hope that I will never see you
Seeing
me like this.
11. “Talking is
Overrated”
I’ve been living carefully
Trying to catch you
But you got further.
I’m out of breath,
I swallow stars
And color my mind
The color of your eyes
And hold out my hand like
There is something
That I’m searching for
This red sunset
Is getting slippery
In the sunrise – it’s you,
In the deep nights – it’s you,
What can you do
To keep me here?
Talking is overrated,
And not what
I’m looking for,
I crawl to
burn your senses,
Press X to free my soul
Talk is
overrated,
So I kindly
ask for more,
I want to
cover all expenses
If you just
let me explore
12. “Blue Blood”
I'm feeling woozy and I am calling a cab
And I am licking all the blue walls so my blood loses tan
I sober up 'til the devil dances
Drinking my bad-decision juice
In search of the answers
I can't do hypnosis but be sure I can bluff
Let me show you how to be guilty
And still, come out of the cuffs
13. "Plum Blossoms”
Amidst the mist so fine
Beneath the blue spring sky
I cut the gloom
My heart is light
The soul takes flight
Like a plum in full bloom
14. “Jade”
Feel like I'm in a beef with Cupid
But what can I do?
Her fragrance feels the air with light
Her fan is open
Her jade hairpin
Cutting through the night
15. “Lotus”
The sea rolling before us
We found a love that's too divine
In the absence of faith
A place for refugees
From a world too chaotic to be
16. "Red Cliff"
Solitude of a mountain
Cries for lullabies so soft
As we gaze up at the majesty
Wild geese fly like needlework
The cliff stands
Like a drunk in the moonlight
But in its gentle whispers
I hear the voice of this universe
Calling me home
17. “Firefly”
Temple bells are dying out
As I kneel in prayer
Fire holds the sky
And I contemplate the mysteries
Of what might have been
Another springtime comes
With its promise of rebirth
18. “A Misty Night”
In a crowded room
A symphony of the urban jungle
Between arguments
And the smell of wok
I am lost in thought
19. “High seas”
The moon is madly pulling
Oceans stretch out to infinity
Winds keep howling secrets
The waves crash one after another
In the rhythm of life and death
20. “Sanctuary”
My heart overflowing
With the bliss of a renewal
In the quiet of a forest
That I dare not name
I found a sanctuary
21. “Still Life”
My wandering mind
Making hands clench
A few blades of grass
And the universe
They share between them
Otherwise, we’d be blown away
Time is quickly passing
And now I'm old
22. “Daruma”
If I could understand the birds
And the fine waltz they compose
Pridefully piercing the sky
And its gentle breeze
Wrapping a golden field
Whose rustling reminds me
Of a worn-out flute
23. “Lanterns”
The reflections flicker over the lake
The peaks keep poking heaven
A red leaf falls into the vibrant tapestry
Butterflies fly around like brushstrokes
And a flock in the distance
Giving the old shepherd
A sense of belonging
24. “Chopsticks”
Circling through my hometown
Nostalgic for a slender waist
Moonshine gently bathing
My wounded countryside
I stagger for this autumn
Now my clothes don't even
Fit me anymore
25. “Subway”
As the landscapes kept repeating
The local fishermen told me if the
Balls of cotton candy in the sky
Are the first ever theater
What's disturbing my sleep
Is not a monster
But a silly wandering flea
And the heavy road
I need to cross
26. “Kingdom””
If a bribe was enough
To buy this crimson-setting sun
Whom even the king can’t order around
I’d be the first in line
Over the sound of deep fatigue
Coming from the city
I cannot hear the river
Telling ancient tales
27. “Lost in Translation”
Concrete carved in lifelines
Smoke pinching the stars
Grasping salvation
But the cross
Is getting heavier
28. “Crossroad”
I stand rumpled up
In the morning trolly
Like a nut in a bag
Tremor squeezing my eyes
As I’m slowly stepping away
I melt into black tea
And so do all the bruises and rain
29. "Howling"
We became strangers
With each other's secrets
But the magic never stopped coming
If you could tell me your name
And pretend it's the first time
Nothing could stop me from being yours
Even though at first
I slammed the door
Morphing
In a seductive dance
Of the misty wrangling sons
Whispering a slow heartbeat
To the tapestry of
Ruined lungs
In the nodes of veins
Of a rippling mind
In the silent hymn
Of the cerulean skies
A mirage is taking over
And the sight is lost
In my cerulean eyes
Like a nun
The old oak tree in prayer
And the birds descending
Carrying a crown
The cosmic waltz that's all around
Spreading the slow slow
Rhythm of the dying sun
