INSIDE THE WINDOW: Colours bursting into the sky And falling to the ground Somewhere aeroplanes start to fly Far inside the window And every second somebody dies Somewhere in the world Sounds of laughter, life passing by Far, too far, impossible to even try And I don’t know which way to go I have to figure out the way Inside and out, I have my doubts About what’s possible today And nobody’s here No bodies here You don’t owe me anything, but now just look at what you’ve done You’ve gone and thrown you life away on something so foolish You can’t blame the universe that you even exist at all When no-one else can feel the same And too long have I cared for you and let you run around the world You don’t deserve to feel at all content with your future You don’t owe me anything, and now just look at what you’ve got There’s nothing left for you but pain And I don’t know which way to go I have to figure out the way Inside and out, I have my doubts About what’s possible today And nobody’s here No bodies here WHAT IS THIS PLACE: (monologue) FROM THE START (excerpt): They went without return This happens every time When all the world is burned And I get left behind So in the light of day It’s too late to atone The pain won’t go away I need to be alone I sleep when I’m awake I’ll make the same mistakes There’s no more to say I hope you’re okay Am I underneath the shadow of my soul? If the path away leads to the light? Every day a song is born and dies Only those who listen will survive Is this all a metaphor for life? Among my friends Who’ll come and maybe go But yes does not mean no I need to make amends HOW LONG IS A MOMENT: Lights are shining forever and ever While the sun and moon revolve around the world Here inside me is all that I will need for another day Another day I forgot what it’s like to remember That I don’t know what it means to be alone Here inside me is all that I have known, and it doesn’t hurt It doesn’t hurt Far away the magic in the valleys And the forest calls my name Wandering my mind through ancient alleys Hidden voices sing with pain Turned my head and now I’m older again Will I ever dare to call you a friend? Can I stay a moment longer with you? How long is a moment meant to be true? Who’d have thought there was all this potential? That the world outside was waiting all the time? Here and there go the dying and the living, and I’m ready now I’m ready now I feel scared and I’m excited I am nervous and I’m shy To be cautiously delighted To move on from asking why Turned my head and now I’m older again Will I ever dare to call you a friend? Can I stay a moment longer with you? How long is a moment meant to be true?

For a kiss between the young artist And the rainbow meteor starlet They were chased around cities Though it may sound silly Both were quite aware what glam does to cameras Love's a thought that turns you both to dust Swirls you round impossible futures Lovers in a tree kiss while I write my treatise On the meaning of a slow dance for romance
