look at these

dry leaves

and crumbling blossoms

old beat books

stripped of the cover

i feel delighted

suddenly singing

with a voice

that is coming

from out of the blue

dark points in time

follow after

shy not shallow

high not hollow

a slightly off-beat

pounding heart



because it`s

all over

i need not to take cover

nothing can break besides my soul - yeah

i got it under control - yeah



miles of tape in

cardboard boxes

millions of pages on

gains and losses

i feel spooky

suddenly speaking

with a voice

that is coming

from behind the shelf

locked up inside is

my happier self

shy not shallow

high not hollow

a slightly off-beat

pounding heart



because it`s

all over...



bundled dreams and

dusty gems

imploring notes

that strangers send:

please me deeper

love me sweeter

hug me harder

never let me go - I am

shy not shallow

high not hollow

got a slightly off-beat

pounding heart



because it`s...
