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.

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?'

You are so fucking gorgeous.
Fuck.

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