We Are Almost There
Hold my hand
We are almost there
Don't stop running
We are almost there
Though the sweat burns our faith
And our muscles are wasting away
Though the sun scorch our skin
And the rain drown our ecstasy
If the snow freeze our dreams
And the lightning frightens our determination
And the thunder quiver our morality
We must never stop running
We must never stop hoping
We must never be shattered
Hold my hand
Even though you're weak
Don't stop running
We are almost there

The Teenage Girl's Dream
I want to wear make-up like a model
But will I just look like a forlorn clown
I want to dye my hair under every colour of the rainbow
But will it change how people receive me
I want to wear clothes that make me feel glamorous
But will I look too desperate
What am I afraid of?
I don't want tobe dull anymore
Blending into the walls
People taking me for a joke
I want tobe the girl
That every girl craves tobe
Or am I just chasing
A rainbow in the distance
Where the pot of gold
Vanishes
As soon as you take it

I'll wait for you in Paris
I'll wait for you in Paris
Under the mouth of the Eiffel tower
I'll wait under Van Gough's starry sky
I'll wait by the Mona Lisa's smile
I'll wait by the glitzy lights of the arms of the Moulin rouge
Here I'll always be waiting for you
I'll wait by the great doors of Notre Dame
Under the famous rose glass window
I'll wait for you by the frown of Arc de Triomphe
Standing above the lonely bones of the Unknown Soldier
I'll always wait for you
In this city where I have never died
I'll always wait for you
Till you are here by my side

If only i could tell you
If i can only tell you
that nothing is alright at all
that i hear things inside my head
distracting me from the right and leading me towards the wrong
that paranoia follows me like a swarm of locusts
i need all eyes on me at all time
i can change and morph and blend like a chameleon
but the memories are a pack of thirsty beasts
hunting me and ripping my bones a strew in the middle of the night
sometimes i can forget like amnesia
but one fault just triggers a waterfall of destruction
i cannot forget forever but i cannot always recall
of what it is about that memory
that makes me want to end all animation of my existence

Hope...?
Hope...
Hope is to wait
Waiting for anything to make the day
Waiting for sunrise or night
Waiting for the tears to dry
Waiting for that telephone call
Waiting for the path to end
Waiting for the struggles to past
Hope...
Hope is to keep on dreaming
Dreaming of prince charming
Dreaming of the perfect life
Dreaming of Utopia
Dreaming of chance to escape
Hope...
Hope is determination
Determined to reach the goal
Determined to make the dreams come true
Determined to prove everybody wrong
Determined to push away the nos and answer with a yes

Autumn Longing
Let me die away with autumn
Let me be like fire
Ever ignite
Let me fall
I don't want the winter
To come after me
Let the autumn arms
Bright and gold
Let it come for me
In a dream
Like a swallow
Descending for Africa
I want to come with autumn
Let me come away with thee
I want to be wine red
I want tobe amber gold
I want to sleep
With the leaves
I want to burst with juices
Like the berries

Let Me Love Winter
I see winter
Forlorn and sincere
Lips the colour of dawning morning
Eyes like fog descending the horizon
With the shadow of a unknown figure in the middle
Her robes sweep over the crystallised grass
Her fingers make me think of birch
Her breath billows around her petal-like face
Her face I want to hold a candle to
But I fear she may drip and be gone
So I don't, I fear her fragility
Like a snowflake
Any heat may cause her to melt away from my eyes
I love her so
I wish her to escape her wondering mind
Her other-worldly gaze
The o of her lips letting out heavy steam
Impossible to love
Yet impossible to not
I want to caress your face
