what do you see - LYRICS

Rose

Rose, everyone knows

That everything goes

Before the end

Rose, before the door’s closed

Remember all those

Who didn’t pretend


And they were laughing

When you were crying

When you were singing

Making you small


And they were blind

When you were dancing

When you were running

Against the wall


Rose, stop dreaming of shows

Where the audience flows

Screaming your name

Rose, pick up your clothes

The scores you composed

They’ve stuck in a frame

In your bedroom

Over your nightstand

Next to your cell phone

You were expecting to ring


To inform you

For your glory

For the arenas

You were going to sing


This smoky cloud, it brings a heavy rain

Turn your face to it

And blossom again



What do you see?

What do you see?

What do you see?

I know what I see

I’m not sure…


What is that shape?

Is it a shade?

To me it’s the moonlight

But you’re not me


I can give you options of what there is to say

You can find a shelter or simply run away

I can make a shadow looking like a tree

If you thrive or die there, depends on what you see


What if I say

This is the way

 To scratch the surface 

Of your brain?


What will you find

Inside your mind?

If you decide now

 To let me in…

Insane

Well, you’ve got it right

I thought I’d be better off without you 


Insane, unsane

I thought I’d fly above all of you

Enough of what is true

Enough of me

Enough of you


Well, you got me right

My thoughts are not where they’re supposed to be

Well, you got me right

I’m out of space, out of time, out of me


Once I dreamt of a timeless place

A space to walk at a fearless pace

I never saw it coming

Though it was me and you giving a freaky show


You got me hanging in between

Of being humble or being chill

Indeed I never had the nerve

To make the twist and change who I serve


Wonderful and empty

Last night I had a moment, a moment on my own

It wasn’t that exciting; things could have just gone wrong

I felt I was suspended, suspended in the air

No rescue from another voice, I’ve declined every mutual affair


Faking the joy, was meant to be

But now he’s here…

Wonderful and empty 

Is there beauty after 30?

Last night the dark was deeper, so deeper should I fall?

My hand was almost trembling; maybe I should make that call

I felt I was convicted, convicted to be free

The burden was too much to bear, bless he has no eyes to see!


Dancing Cloud

Up above there’s a dancing cloud

It moves its hands and cuts the sky

Reminds me of you flirting with the crowd

Warming them up as a day of July


And this spring is so great

A bit different but full of smells

So strange of you to choose this date

To spread the sound of all these bells


‘Cause you jumped so high to reach the sun

To bring the summer in people’s heart

You grabbed the spring and you danced as one

But spring is the year’s most ephemeral part


Fancy costumes fell on the ground

Dancing creatures picked them in their hands

They formed a circle and looked around

The scores were flying off the stands 


And everybody joined this dance

They stretched their hands to touch the sun

They sung out loud being all in trance

They beat their chest for the prince is gone

Once I knew

Was it easy going fast?

It’s a mystery you came last

Taking baby steps I followed you

The rising star that I once  knew…


Is lost behind a burst of sand and fire

A hot desire

A strung out wire that begins and ends with me


It’s been easier to let you win

I still compromise but not for long

‘Cause all that I wanted and waited for…


 Is lost behind a burst of sand and fire

A hot desire

A strung out wire that begins and ends with me



You’re in pain

Every day makes you bleed

Being the victim of your knowledge

Every day you cannot see

What’s the importance of your moments


Every moment on your desk

You just try to break your pencil

All your partners look grotesque

And you cannot remain gentle


And the blood goes to your head filling your eyes

And your eyes move like crazy in your brain

And your brain acts like a poison to yourself

Here it comes here it comes here it comes…


You’re in pain, you’re in pain and you need me

Precious friend, precious friend come and feed me

You’re in pain, you’re in pain and you need me now!


And my colors hold your hands

Warm them up and make them tender

And my sounds blow in your ear

Promising love that has no gender


And my thoughts that were raised there

Are immolated for your pleasure

And you smile but not for long

Being affected by the weather


Unspoken Tales

Let’s say you have a doubt now

Running through your veins

 Rushing to your temples

Be honest to yourself

You didn’t meet your goals

Yet, you remain sane.


Attractive as you felt

Having all in place

You stepped out of the picture.

It’s time to meet the blank

It’s never a crusade

It’s all about your pain

Oooh…ooh

Let’s face the truth

You’ve missed your youth

You could have never reached the end


Why don’t you try to see now

Everything you aimed for

Was fighting back against you?


Be honest to yourself

You never felt complete

And now you feel ashamed


Assuming that your fame

Was some kind of a prize

You threw out of the window

It’s time to meet the blank

It’s never a crusade

It’s all about your pain


Keep on squeezing every bit of your unspoken tales

Keep on squeezing every bit of your unspoken tales

  Keep on squeezing every bit of your unspoken tales…


No Worries

I might look wounded

I might look hurt

I shouldn’t get you worried

For I am still not dead


That sense of submission

It’s been kind a sweet

Except for my mission

On earth, that’s not complete


Don’t you worry if I’m gone

Feel the breeze on your face

Forget it all…


I stand out before you

I totter like your God

When soon I’ll be vanished

Please don’t be sad



As they always did

The grass will grow

The birds will sing

The mountains will remain still

As they always did


The sun will shine

The waves will calm

The flowers will be blooming

As they always did


But the fear will remain beside me

Play with my kid and drink my wine

Will hit my back and will start laughing

Take the days that should be mine


The noise will come

The kids will laugh

The streets will be colored

As they always were


I’ll watch them all

From my room

And I will wave at them

As I always did

And when my kid becomes a man

And when my wine becomes sour

I will see him to the door

And say goodbye


I will caress my gray hair

As I watch him leaving

And only I’ll remain
