Some Days

Some days I am just waiting,
some days I feel I've come home,
some days I am floundering,
some days I swear I am drowning.

Some days I want to be rescued,
some days I can stand on my own two feet,
some days I sleep to escape,
Some days are just beautiful.

Some days I love you desperately,
some days I want to run away,
I always wish I was good for you,
but mostly I wish I could just be.

Purified

I let my soul fly away
and the river run through
my heart.
My soul returns purified,
dreaming of you.

Norwegian Winter

Like a million stars
trapped in the snow,
under a deep royal blue
velvet sky.
The incredible magic of
the Norwegian winter.
You can see the road to the
Goddess' house in the sky.
A green glowing path with
stars scattered like flowers
in her garden.

No More

No more tired
No more sad
No more drowning
No more anything

Life

Sometimes I see my life like
the dregs of a glass after a party.
Was it good or was it lame,
How can I tell and how can I turn it around?
You found another girl and
got off with her in the bathroom,
I'm stuck here with the geezer
who is trying to impress.

If I drink enough, maybe I'll
do something to be remembered.
If I drink enough, maybe I'll
forget this night altogether.
I look at the dregs at the bottom
of this glass, as if it is my life.
I don't like what I see.

So I'll fill it up again and try again,
hoping for a better ending next time.
Baby, with you, I dance in the dark,
learning new steps all the way.
Without you I fall apart.

Delusions or lies

All the ladies want a piece of you,
I think you are mine, but I
can never know.
When they are around you,
you forget all about me.
You like to make believe,
and you say all my anger
is unjustified – I can't leave.
Am I the one with the delusions,
or are you telling lies...

Baby I see the Pain

Baby I see the pain,
I see the pain in your eyes,
when you look at me.
You know I am hurting,
you know so much,
so much more than
you should.
I see the pain in your eyes,
I'm willing you to look away,
to let yourself be distracted.
Please forget my pain.
I see my pain multiplied,
when I look in your eyes.
I see my pain in your eyes,
where you try to take it on,
as you try to rescue me.
Swim away, swim ashore, baby,
before you drown.
