Maker

Meet me at the station at seven o'clock
You know what I like and that I like 'em a lot
Let's go somewhere quiet where we can engage
Let's go somewhere rowdy where we can misbehave
 
Coz I'm a maker baby
I'm a maker

Life is how you take it don't you think
I'll walk you to work when you finish your drink
Life is how you take it and so on and so on and so on
Get me in for nothing so my night can go on, go on, go on
 
Coz I'm a maker baby
I'm a maker
 
Give me just a little bit
Give me an inch you know I'm taking it
And all of this time we spend talking shit
Baby it's all about making it
 
Coz I'm a maker baby
I'm a maker
 
Whispered in my ear for me to meet her outside
You konw that I'll wait coz I've been waiting all night
Everybody's leaving and we're moving back to mine
It's a beautiful evening for taking our time
 
Give me just a little bit
Give me an inch you know I'm taking it
And all of this time we spend talking shit
Baby it's all about making it

Coz I'm a maker baby
I'm a maker
Coz I'm a maker baby
I'm a maker

Outside-Inside

Walk Unafraid

As the sun comes up, as the moon goes down
These heavy notions creep around
It makes me think, long ago
I was brought into this life a little lamb
A little lamb
Courageous, stumbling
Fearless was my middle name.
But somewhere there I lost my way
Everyone walks the same
Expecting me to step
The narrow path they've laid
They claim to
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love or leave me high.

Say "keep within the boundaries if you want to play."
Say "contradiction only makes it harder."
How can I be
What I want To be?
When all I want to do is strip away
These stilled constraints
And crush this charade
Shred this sad masquerade
I don't need no persuading
I'll trip, fall, pick myself up and
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love or leave me high.
 
If I have a bag of rocks to carry as I go
I just want to hold my head up high
I don't care what I have to step over
I'm prepared to look you in the eye
Look me in the eye
And if you see familiarity
Then celebrate the contradiction
Help me when I fall to
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love or leave me high.
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love or leave me high.

"Tăceau unul lângă altul, mână în mână, lipiţi, orbi, fără de gând, fără trecut şi fără viitor, fericirea fiind splendoarea unui vid perfect ca şi al cerului."

Contopire

"Un om care trăieşte în spiritul valorilor ce sprijină viaţa nu va încerca să dovedească nimic; nici sfinţenia, nici bunătatea, nici puterea sa. De aceea oamenii de acest calibru trăiesc mai degrabă în izolare, dar atunci cînd cerem exprimarea iubirii, s-ar putea să-i întâlnim, iar întâlnirea cu ei ne poate schimba viaţa."

The Sound of Silence

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again  
Because a vision softly creeping
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains within the sound of silence
 
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed
By the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening

People writing songs
That voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence
 
"Fools" said I, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made
And the sign flashed out it's warning
And the words that it was forming

And the sign said
"The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sound of silence

Sufletul meu drag...

-Cum ești?

-Bine.  

...

- Cine îți cunoaște sufletul?

- Eu.

-Nimeni altcineva?

-Nu.

-De ce?

- Nu știu. Poate am uitat de semenii noștrii, poate suntem superficiali... nu știu?!
Un lucru mi-e cert: doare atât de tare atunci când mi-e dor de frânturile de suflete pe care le-am văzut în oameni... (din nou și din nou, oricât aș încerca eu  să neg)... 

Sufletul meu drag, sunt singură în această lume... Te rog, vin-o mai repede în întâmpinarea mea și mângâie-mi sufletul plin de răni, am mare nevoie de tine, nu de ale tale umbre. Te rog, nu mai am răbdare, te aștept de foarte mult timp; tu știi prea bine că eu am nevoie de acea contopire completă.

 Doar arată-te sufletul meu drag... Sunt singură de prea mult timp, nu mai am nevoie de distrageri, ci de tine. În acest ritm simt că înnebunesc, îmi e greu să car singură toată această greutate, simt cum ajung la capătul puterilor... Nu mai pot vedea bunătatea, zâmbesc doar pentru că nu pot lăsa lacrimile să întâmpine lumina... Am nevoie de o îmbrățișare puternică dn partea ta.
Nu mă mai lăsa să aștept.
Am nevoie de tine...

Acum și mereu... 

Al tău suflet călător.

Usually...

Echoes From the Wood

Love & Feeling

(Sexual attraction is confusing, maddening, euphoric, even dangerous.
It drives people to extreme behavior, even unspeakable crimes.
The beating pulse, the sweating palms, the rise of chemicals in the brain are the symptoms of a much deeper, more mysterious affliction.
The mechanism that chooses and controls the objects of sexual desire can only be found in the heart of the unexplained.)

Lonely sun, enough of lies
Sleeping naked in the night
Got to take it off my mind

Old enough to make you mine
I believe in human rights
Got to take if off my mind, off my mind...

And now you've got me here, aware
I see through the innocence
I know the way is getting hard

But I hold in line away to live
And you come close just a little bit
Now everything, it seems okay

  You know, you got me with the love and feeling
I know, my body cares only what to say
You know, you got me with the love and feeling
I know, my body cares only what to say

Old enough to see you're fine
Driving circles in my mind
Got to keep it all in line, all in line

Scrambling words to make you fall
Make you hear so you want more
Got to keep it all in line, all in line

And now you know, the less you give
The more I pull, the more I wish
Rapacious from the very start

But I hold in line away to live
And you come close just a little bit
Now everything, it seems okay

You know, you got me with the love and feeling
I know, my body cares only what to say
You know, you got me with the love and feeling
I know, my body cares only what to say
You know... love and feeling
I know... only what to say
You know, ooo... love and feeling
I know...only what to say

All I Need...

...is a story (but this one is waiting to be written)

Dear Autumn, please stay a little bit longer...

Talk Is Cheap

Oh so, your weak rhyme
You doubt I bother reading into it
I'll probably won't
Left to my own devices
But that's the difference in our opinions

You're a mouthful
That amounts for another week on my own
Now I'm a novel made resourceful
I start a chain with my thought

Talk is cheap, my darling
When you're feeling right at home
I wanna make you move with confidence
I wanna be with you alone

Said help me help you start it
You're too comfortable to know
Throwing out those words
Oh, you gotta feel it on your own

Cold pain
I cannot sustain it
That's what I'm thinking
Not what I'm drinking

I hold up my ways
These thoughts are pervasive
It's not a statement
But peace can be evasive
 
You're a mouthful
That accounts for another week on my own
Now I'm a novel made resourceful
I start a chain with my thought

Talk is cheap, my darling
When you're feeling right at home
I wanna make you move with confidence
I wanna be with you alone

Said help me help you start it
You're too comfortable to know
Throwing out those words
Oh, you gotta feel it on your own

Talk is cheap, my darling
When you're feeling right at home
I wanna make you move with confidence
I wanna be with you alone
 
Said help me help you start it
You're too comfortable to know
Throwing out those words
Oh, you gotta feel it on your own
