I'll be under the sea where Icarus is

We'll watch the fish swim by us above

I'll be under the sea where Icarus is

We'll be written in blood and in love

I'll be under the sea where Icarus is

Icarus,

Icarus,

you mesmerize me.

You always have done; you always will be

the youth who defied his own gods, so boldly.

Why must to your tale be so steeped in tragedy?

Mortal child? Mortal person, the sun itself can't sine as brightly.

The sun itself can't shine as brightly as you,

Icarus.

Truth hurts

Mint leaves leave the house

House of trees

To meet the taste

Taste of a tea

When we put mint leaves into the teapot

It gives the vibes to chill

Chill out till you meet the roots

Roots of the tree

When we can’t find the start

Start of life

We will begin to hurt ourselves

In order to kill the pain

You gotta survive through the worst nights

When you do

You will find a star

Only shine for you

It will be the gateway to the miracle

I seek salvationJust like the rest of youYou seek liberationI also seek that too———We’re not so different, you and meAnd I know love will set us free I know love will set us free Seeking full equality———True transformationThe heartbeat of the land Dauntless retributionThe waters in your hand———We’re not so different, you and meAnd I know love will set us freeI know love will set us freeSeeking full equality———You’ll be able to hold to the truthNever let them take itYou’ll be able to live by the truthAgainst their greed and hatred———We’re not so different, you and meAnd I know love will set us freeI know love will set us freeSeeking full equality

Fatherland oh Fatherland you want to sculpt and mould me

Sculpt me mold me, paint and press me into conformity

Materials so pretty, made of murdered bodies

Make me love and want and own the lifestyle of finery

———

I’d rather die than have your selfish morals

I’d rather starve than eat when others can’t

I’ll give all I have for love universal

You don’t make me feel sorry with your rant

———

Motherland oh Motherland you bleed but still you guide me

You bleed and guide, you weep inside, and you always worry

Your loss, grief, and poverty. Your lies and honesty.

No matter what rulers say I give you my loyalty

———

I’d rather die than go against your morals

I will not eat because your people can’t

I’ll give all I have for love universal

I’ll follow you no matter how they rant

———

Fatherland hits Motherland

He shouts and screams and rages

Economy fuelled by blood

Her people must earn wages

Fatherland hits Motherland

He thinks he is a good man

Her stitched mouth and soul that floods

I must do all that I can

———

I’d rather die than have Fatherland’s morals

I will not eat because Motherland can’t

Humanity is for love universal

I heed her silenced I don’t heed his rant

I feel like a dog being put down.

Anesthetize me, the old dog.

Take me on a walk.

Just take me on a walk.

I'm begging now. On my back,

Throat bared for you to rip open as you please. Jugulars spray painting the wall.

I dream of a life that isn't mine.

One of the young dogs, free.

Wildly playing and running.

No begging for walks to be had.

They know no fear of masters.

They intimidate and rule over, they are the hunters.

They relish in health and blood.

The old dog replays in my mind daily.

I am him, he is me.

I see myself in the weak dogs,

In the dogs awaiting euthanasia at the pound.

We've lived long but not long enough.

Loved but not loved enough.

I'm just an old dog.

Please, take me on a walk.

"Jar of Moths"

Looking back at my childhood,

Remembering how blue and grey the skies were,

How those long-past days have fluttered away

Like moths under a lonely streetlight.

As a mere ray of sunlight races across the night sky,

Erasing it from the day,

We try to hold onto these youthful moments,

To place them on a shelf in a jar, to relive later.

But time marches on, and we forget these moments

In the hustle and bustle of life.

We forget the simple pleasures of youth,

How a simple pile of dirt became a whole world

That only we lived in, dreaming of cities or projects

In our own minds.

Nothing lives outside the dream, but at last,

We grow up, we grow out of childish dreams,

And we leave the safety of our parents' embrace,

The safety of their home.

Sometimes they are the reason we retreat

Into our own minds,

Not to be reminded of the hurt and pain they inflict on us.

I want to relive the pleasures of my youth and smile one last time

Before I have to return to reality,

To stand back and dream of what those moments looked like.

For some reason, it's a jar of moths,

And they still flutter in the dark cellar of my mind.

I simply wonder, if I open the jar,

Would they fly away, and would I forget my childhood

And all the things in it?

To be forced to just live in the here and now, the present time.

I decide to hold onto my jar of moths,

Even if they aren't butterflies—

It's all I have that was good in my life.

Get your feet from my mind

I gotta think

Think of the way

How I’m gonna escape

Escape from this uncertainties

Till I met the devil

I’ll search throughout the universe

How I’m gonna survive

Till I see the stars to show me the road to heaven

Way down we go

As long as we able to see

We see the full of lies of reality to keep us on the ground to make the mistakes
