sophie hunger: monday’s ghost

lyrics Add comments

Excerpt:

And I’ll return down to the mines
Where you are safe from me
And I will stop to burn your house
and keep you safe from me

I wish that you would search the mines
And keep them safe from me
I wish that you would stop the fire
And keep it safe from me


Lyrics:

In your distant Zitilites
I tried to read your time at night
I tried to find your roof your floor
The corners of your mind, the four

The red flags on your dear façade
Wouldn’t break the secret to my guards
Told me not with which wind to come
Refused to tell how and when

And I’ll return down to the mines
Where you are safe from me
And I will stop to burn your house
and keep you safe from me

How could I so clearly find
And have no chance to read your signs
Bring me back to your front door
And let me pretend that I was waited for

I wish that you would search the mines
And keep them safe from me
I wish that you would stop the fire
And keep it safe from me

(Thanks to J.)

    Her voice, her lyrics totally touch a spot.

    You are the answer, you never talk
    You have no question, you are a thought
    You are the answer, you’re shaped and emblazed
    Through the holes in my cover, you’re something I made
    You are the answer, my truthful response
    My final saying when everyone’s gone

    You’re my illusion, my pattern of wrong
    A hollow idol on the tip of my tongue
    You’re my disgrace, my self-made war
    And I don’t want to remember faith anymore
    I’m wasting myself in the name of a fake
    You were made for me by mistake

    I had nothing before, then I had you
    I was denying, now I refuse
    I’ve never been young, you’ll never grow old
    My life’s in my words and my hands they are cold
    I never made sense but now I disturb
    And I’m bashing my goods against the door of the world

    Oh wash away
    Oh wash away
    You had nothing to say
    You were made for me by mistake

    One of my favorites…

    Beauty above all

    Here you are again and everyone’s aware
    Even the believers join in to the state
    Afraid of insufficiencies they elsewhere must deny
    They’re shaken by the whispering gleam of what is passing by

    Hello. hello Valentine

    Here you are again with all what belongs to you
    Reigning over dreams that to no one else come true
    The weight of such a power would break it all in two
    If only you would know – yet you just don’t have a clue

    Hello, hello Valentine
    Secretly they cry

    Here you are again and we offer all to you
    The longing of the ugly of those who cannot choose
    The longing of the strange by differences abused
    They turn inside their uniform but wouldn’t dare to prove
