Stay

in between

lost in noise

somewhere

somewhere

in between

got no choice

but to be here

somewhere

somewhere

if you can hear me

if you're still there

stay tuned

there is more to come

oh

don't start searching

i'll get back

to you

riding waves

trying to reach

somewhere

somewhere

Tuned

cannot share

this moment with you

i'm particles in the air

you can't see me

but i'm here

so if you can hear me

if you're still there

stay tuned

there is more to come

oh

don't start searching

stay tuned

there is more to come

oh

don't start searching

i'll get back to you

The Last Trick

from standing to crouching

silently falling

falling from nowhere to nowhere

nothing between

nothing beyond

nothing behind the stars

this is the last trick i'll do

sound can be seen

this is the main title

briefly shaking

remain for some time

down here below

allowing the doubt to feed upon me

and even the ones

who've never been

are climbing the wail up ahead

i get up start crawling

into the same

over and over and over again

smelling the plastic

smelling the spit

and smelling my own breath

the presence convincing

the most of what i've written is false

i mention this

'cause i'm talking in the light of what's known

i get out of the sun

all together now

everybody

Can I Keep Him?

in the end

there was no one to see

no helicopters in the sky the next day

or the day after

no one was searching

'cause no one knew he was missing

he followed me home

can i keep him?

he followed me

a pretty boy like you

with hands that could break me in two

but don't

breaking away gently

he's still warm

and close to me

i can see tears in his eyes

and i feel better
