Relinquishment

You wake up in a silent night

And look afar, the window’s glass:

The city’s fueled with strobing light

People leave and flashers pass.

No one cares. Who is to know?

That you are ready to let go,

To have done with broken dream,

To give up and be machine;

To cut deep into your brain,

To drain out through bleeding vein

All the roots that make you live

You want out, so you could be

Cattish, pretty, fucking fake,

All it does is break or take,

Doesn't care about your rage,

Fetters you inside a cage,

While you scream, you scream in vain

Scream for nothing, out of pain

You should know, as I do, too,

There’s no one, there’s only you.

Empty hearts fill empty places

No real smiles, no real faces;

There’s no ears, no one to hear,

You can touch, but isn’t real.

Just right now, let’s make it clear!

Now we’re up and we are here,

Just to know, for good and all,

No point being with no soul;

What to do with arms and eyes,

If the emptiness will lie

On your skin like poison balm,

Don’t despair and remain calm;

Go to sleep and don’t wake up,

Don’t return and don’t come back;

Sleep as you have crowned the years,

With no sorrows and no fear.

Oblivion

Barely shadows of our time,

Can’t keep up and fall behind,

Run of things that never change,

Different shapes, but they’re the same.

It feels strange. To know ahead

There’s no mercy for the dead,

What has lead us to the end

Are those things that we pretend

Can buy. There is no why

We try to stop the passing by

Of our lives instead of take

Away the mask that makes us fake.

The shadows are, but they are shades

That cut our skin like clipping blades

And we persist to water down

The inner us for cater crown;

We seek for diamonds and for gold,

We take for granted what they’ve told

And ceased to think with our mind,

Yes, can see but we are blind,

And we can talk, but rarely speak

Against injustice that goes deep

In our world, in our times,

To be awake became a crime.

We stand as forms and nothing more,

The empty spaces from the core,

We crave for freedom, but enslave,

We dish the spirits while they fade.

What we have no knowledge of,

Is that can’t redeem what’s lost,

Once it passes and it’s gone,

Cannot take back what you’ve done.

In Our Time

In our time

We look at screens,

Forget the sky,

It seems…

…modern.

In our time

We hide inside walls,

Ignore the call

Of our lives…

…sized.

In our time

We hate so much the prime,

Outraged by gender,

But not a crime…

…pathetic.

In our time

We ignore or feed wars,

The evil in us

Seems so…

…genetic.

In our time

We put blame on victims,

Keep the heads down

To the abuse of system…

…we fail.

In our time

We starve the body

And the soul

And give all the control…

…to recklessness.

In our time,

I must confess

This craziness

In our world is just…

…madness.
