Oren Lavie - Her Morning Elegance

Sun been down for days
A pretty flower in a vase
A slipper by the fireplace
A cello lying in its case

Soon she's down the stairs
Her morning elegance she wears
The sound of water makes her dream
Awoken by a cloud of steam
She pours a daydream in a cup
A spoon of sugar sweetens up

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
As she goes in a store
With a thought she has caught
By a thread
She pays for the bread
And She goes...
Nobody knows

Sun been down for days
A winter melody she plays
The thunder makes her contemplate
She hears a noise behind the gate
Perhaps a letter with a dove
Perhaps a stranger she could love

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
As she goes in a store
With a thought she has caught
By a thread
She pays for the bread
And She goes...
Nobody knows

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
Where people are pleasently strange
And counting the change
And She goes...
Nobody knows

Another story

Its a pretty face on the wall
Coloured more than just black and white
Faking summer warmth and light
Until the shadows fall

Cant sing a pleasant song
For her heart is bleeding blue
Nothing seems right
Nothing seems new

Is the golden globe lost?
The one that moved her feet
Whenever she had to rise
And had a peak to meet

Serene and stony, she can’t face the crowd
While a want has just seen its end
She cares not for that misplaced
Whiles she ignores a legend.

A dense mind, she fights
An impassive perception, she clasps
She wants to be embraced by a distant orb
Where the little innocence rests.

Though the nature of her soul’s odd
Bringing sanity in angst,
A quiet night and a dull dream
While the roses wither away.

The World is alone tonight

The world is alone tonight
Under the power of those chimes,
The grey smoke and the sinister grin,
The lamp that burns in an over riding harmony.

It’s not the question of the universe,
So, it must be the maiden of truth
That which oversees the wooden path,
And forbids the distrusting tonight.

The foot is firm downhill,
When the sight yearns for the setting sun.
And the brook blazes and grimaces
It’s the allure life has to offer tonight.

The racquet of hell and the satanic might
Must be gentle to that dying will
For that which coerced it
Has left a scar tonight.

The power of good, no entity claims,
Nor the fortitude of the times of yore,
All that’s left is an earnest wish
That the mute whispers tonight.

Breaching the faith of the blind,
And extending the act of evil,
The self cannot bode,
It’s pure and it shall stay so tonight.

The world will survive alone tonight
Under the power of chimes,
The grey smoke, the sinister grin
And the lamp that burns in an over riding harmony.

Neverland

I look at this life of mine,
All this and more to cry..
Nothin' is ever gonna be fine,
Just everything to feel sorry..
Not that all this is a sign,
That i'm the one who made it awry..

I feel powerless and lost,
Like a ship across the seven seas..
Riding the weather at all costs,
Not able to surmount the waves..
Have nothing in me to boast,
Just a mind of obscurities..

Not here, not there
Not near, not far
All the things that i did do..
All the things i didn't...
I don't know where I belong..
Before I wave so long...

The doors I open to darkness,
No rays of sunshine to show the way..
Can't help but feel the loneliness,
Not even a spot of hope to pray...
I'm drowning in all my carelessness..
Not a place for my soul to sway..

All the memories that I have,
Makes me feel cold and numb..
The attention that I never gave,
I was just building my own tomb..
No goals and nothing to crave..
Looking not for that elusive crumb..

Have to fight my demons on my own,
Though i'm no gladiator..

I want to bury my past..
Just to start afresh..

I want live finding my mystic place..
Or die finding my neverland..

Black

Look up at night
Everything seems so black
vast space so infinite
And me, insignificant...

wandering out into the space
All I see is just black
Heavenliness on the surface
not a crevice not a crack ...

And then you feel
After all, you're not alone
Maybe there's
Life still to be searched.
Then you hope...

exploring the unexplored..
beyond the boundaries...
into the unknown..
past a point of no return..

Confined to space so dark,
epitomizing that what is blank
things around me look so stark..
with my mind very cark...

If given one chance
To turn around and go back,
it would lead to ignorance..
like the ends of the universe...

And then you feel
After all, you're not alone
Maybe there's
Life still to be searched
Then you hope...

exploring the unexplored..
beyond the boundaries...
into the unknown..
past a point of no return..

you would find the other world
the one you always hoped to see,
the place where you don't need to hide,
the anxiety growing within all the time..

darkness showing the way,
your soul ceases to sway,
upon seeing the distant light,
no one to explain your plight..

and as the speck of light fades away..
all i see is the sanctity of black..
darkness clouds around me ..
one last look into the unknown..

Reflections

What do you expect you will see?
Except for mirrors full of thee;
Don't have to look too far to reflect,
On all those thoughts you'd rather regret...

One fine day, I was jobless! :)

A day with the sun all so bright,
With my spirits seem so high.

I go do the thing I like to do,
hangin out at the basement,
playin my guitar all so loud!
Ahh, the day seems ever so nice.

We decide to go to the city,
the place we call home.
Destination all so unknown,
With everyone seemingly so happy.

Taking the tube for the race,
'gainst time, going so fast!
working away all so earnestly,
Will the day still seem so nice?

Looking up at the evening sky,
dusk beginning to set in !
The sky turning all so orange,
With everyone seemingly so happy.
