Clarity

Of my biggest fears, I've come to realise;
The irony in what is also one of my biggest passions.
And that this perhaps, is the most peaceful way to leave this planet.

Running

Once again,
I wake up from the same dream,
With my hands clenched
And my heart beating fast.
It's the same nightmare
and I'm getting sick of it.

Still, it's nice to know that I'm alive.


-Oedipus

Shadows

'Life is not what I thought it was,
Twenty-four hours ago.
And I am not who I thought I was,
Twenty-four hours ago.


Twenty-four failures
Twenty-four tries
Twenty-four finds me
Twenty-four lies'

Reverse it, or add one.
Which one did I choose?

Today

'Do me a favour,
Would you sing this to me slow?
Because I'm thinking it's my song'


-Oedipus

Playing for Keeps

Living is simple
And so is dying.

And if that's the case, then what else left is there to do?

On Fire

Schweiz, ich liebe dich

I miss you, so much.
You don't understand.
Take me back home, please.
I'm dying.

Avid Rabbids

Leonard,

I keep having the same dreams. I'm always running, being chased by things that scare me. And there are so many dead ends, but somehow I always manage to escape.

I'm glad I have you Leonard, to take away these bad people. Some days I'd much rather stay awake with you, than be asleep.

The Wolves

I can't stop it anymore than I'd like to.

The world is quiet here


-Oedipus

Umbrellas and Elephants

I'm not here,
So please don't try to find me.

Because whatever you find,
Will not be any different to what you found the last time

Undone

Someone woke up today,
But they won't wake up tomorrow.

I woke up today,
But I won't wake up tomorrow.
Because tomorrow, I will be someone different,
Someone new.

And whether or not this new person
Is someone good,
Must wait until tomorrow comes.


-Oedipus

Rotation

The best place to sit and watch the world go by is at work.
Or from your bedroom window,
The bench in the park across the road,
Or maybe from the rear view mirror in your car.

But see, you've missed the point.
It doesn't matter where you watch,
The point is that the world is always going to pass you by.

Unless you move with it.


-Oedipus
