Sky High

'We've got everybody singing.'

You know that feeling,
When your heart suddenly jolts?
Because you've woken up
From a dreamless sleep.

And maybe, just maybe
Today will end
Long after the sun goes down.


-Oedipus

Records

'The more things seem to change
The more they stay the same
Ohh don't you hesitate.'


-Oedipus

Still

Please for once
Be human
For me


-Oedipus

Here

Do you wonder about those people
Who don't have family or friends?
What must it be like to live in this world
Where no one else knows your name?

There is a place I feel alone.
There is a place I am alone.
And here in this place, I am free.


-Oedipus

Step Down

Some part of me was just hoping.
Hoping, for nothing in particular.
Just hoping.

I guess, when the right thing comes by,
I can say that I've been waiting for it,
All my life.

So I'm hoping,
That you come by.
Even though I don't know who
Or what you are.


-Oedipus

Harbour

Should it make me feel better
To know that this is still the same sun
That I have sat and watched
Outside my old house in my backyard
Only three times in my life;
Once when my best friend was put down,
Another sitting with someone 5 years ago
Or on the phone with another, 3 years ago?

'Where was I when the world was made?'


-Oedipus

You are so fucking gorgeous.
Fuck.

Rocket Summer

'So I'll be making up things for you to see
Like romantic lights surrounding Italy'


-Oedipus

Water

Making my boat float


-Oedipus

Double

Learnt a little thing or two today.
Glad I didn't do a little thing or two today.
Ate a little thing or two today.
Laughed at a little thing or two today.
Met a cute little thing or two today.

Hjfdsa;fjal;eswkf
Happy.


-Oedipus

Slow Down

Just give it a go,
But make sure you know how to cook breakfast,
Because no one likes to eat cereals after sex.
And I fucking hate cereal.


-Oedipus

Banter

'Oh and did I mention that new love I found?
Look at her walk
She's so damn stunning.'


-Oedipus

New Orleans

'If I were a painter'

Could anything else make me feel so gooodddd
Than listening to Norah Jones on a cold, rainy day?
I'm gonna say no.


-Oedipus

 

Kiss Me

This is a strange feeling.
I'm not quite sure what to do with it.


-Oedipus

Dreaming

Waiting at the airport for my flight to take off
And realising that in the next 24 hours,
I will be with my family in a foreign country
Where no one will know our names.

Sitting on trains for more than five hours a day
Travelling from country to country
Being served foreign foods
Asking the locals how to speak their language
Getting asked to be filmed for tv documentaries
Watching Madrid win the world cup on my birthday
Walking around Rome at night eating gelati on a date
Climbing snow covered mountains
Night clubbing in Florence
And afternoon tea in Switzerland with crystal clear lakes in front of us
Homemade cheese fondu for dinner cooked by local friends
Picnics beside private lakes for lunch

Miss you.


-Oedipus

Arlandria

'You and what army?'


-Oedipus

The Captain

'It is pelting down with rain.
Leonard is sleeping.

Come back soon.'


-

In Case

I have always thought you were perfect.
Please listen to me.
You are perfect.


-Oedipus

To Add Some Colour

If you ever need me,
You will find me here.
It will be the only place
That I will ever feel at home.

Even though sometimes,
I still lay at night
Thinking of how much I miss it all.
And how much I miss you.


-Oedipus

Midnight

When your dreams all begin to look the same,
It is time to wake up again.


-Oedipus

DOA

'Mine is yours and yours is mine,

I will sacrifice.

In your honour

I would die tonight

For you to feel alive.'

-Oedipus

Breakbot

A personal diary
That I can share with the world.

Because there is no other way
To live in this place
Without giving it the honest truth.

And this truth is here, locked away
Under a pile of words
And two characters that remotely resemble
A tiger and a little girl.

I just hope you can find it
Before I give up.


-Oedipus

Vitriol

For the first time in my life,
I know at least one thing that I want.


-Oedipus

Roxanne

Hm, I missed you.
Thank you for coming back.


-Oedipus

One

'I think I need bottle
With a genie in it.'


-Oedipus

Wasted Light

'I feel good about the good things.
I feel bad about the bad things.
But I wouldn't change a thing.'


-Oedipus

Empty

And the last thing I need
Is another question asked
And gone unanswered.

Could this really be all there is?


-Oedipus

Bent

'I am not afraid of you.
There's nothing more you can do to me
That you haven't done before.'

What I am afraid of though,
Are the things I'm about to do.
Things that I have to do.
But I'm still not ready for it.


-Oedipus

Willow

But for some reason,
Some part of me feels that I'm letting you down.


-Oedipus

Beautiful People

Another 7 more days
And another relationship
Will be down the drain.
Another wasted effort,
For people you should never have relied on in the first place.

But they always come back
And then leave again.
Every single one of them.
This is the fifth of five.
And I am running out of proof
To dispel that which I have always suspected
But could never believe in.


-Oedipus

Puppets

I cannot wait to write you.


-Oedipus
