Misperception
06:02
|

Do you ever get the feeling
That you don’t know what you’re doing
You disappear into nothing
Swear that I lived it
It was just a dream
Felt kind of foolish
Upset and naive
I couldn’t see beyond this haze of grief
Unable to see in front of me
Slipping back into the sea
Oh! You are not what you thought
You never go to anything anymore
But is that really who you think you are
Just pay it no mind
Misperception
It had me lying down on the floor
But it doesn’t really matter now though
It doesn’t really matter at all
Getting back up from a sudden fall
It’s 6am and I’m wide awake and calm
“I think I’ve lived through it all!”
I’m trying to be more positive

Stare at the barren page
Set up the empty slate
It is the notion that I can’t create
Feeling confused
What do I do
Had my hands in my pockets for so long
not sure if they’ll move
It should be easy for me
It should be easy for you
Is it okay for me to do nothing
What do I do
I just don’t feel it anymore
Procrastination
You really got me
It is the golden age
Recorded time-waste
Every target can afford to wait
Forever to-do
“I’ll see you soon”
I am so busy doing nothing I can barely move
Fire up the pit!
Throw all the work in it
If what I do is nothing
Then what do I do
I just don’t feel it anymore
Procrastination
You really got me

As Thin As a Thread
03:47
|

Counting up
All the things you can stack up
It is calm
It’s calm
What if it isn’t how you imagined
Something unsaid
Rolled between finger and thumb
As thin as a thread

Ex-King

Take one last bow
The king without a crown
Silhouetted, tail between my legs
I turn and click my heels
Cartwheel away
What does it mean to you
Did it really mean anything
The tapes have been erased
Delete my history
The tapes have been erased

No (Personal) Connection
03:48
|
|||
Disconnect from the pressure
Try to be unseen
Have so much time on your hands
Do you feel relieved
Or do you not know how to (ful)fil
Compulsive needs
Enduring a minute of thought
Feels like an hour to me
No personal connection
Avoiding situations

Inward Island

|

Nostalgia symphonies
A lack of empathy
Defending nothing
Forever looking in
Isolation
Taking it all

Coffee
03:07
|

I was walking alone
And I got myself a coffee
Headed down to the water
I was happy
You say I think my cup’s half empty
And I know this can be tiresome
I am really going to try
To be better
Not as bad as it seems
When you get some distance from it
Not a length I’m able to swim
I’ll take a step too far
and then I’m in
Staring back at your dog
You can really get to know it
Open up your heart
And throw your arms around it
I know I sink in it too easily
But you’ll talk me back out of it
I have named that good boy
And I feel much better
Not as bad as it seems
When you get some distance from it
Not a length I’m able to swim
I’ll take a step too far
and then I’m in
