In The Meantime

Keep your feet right here,
while I go and figure out that other idea
just wiggle if you must
but keep the fall for us

Flooded Drums

If someone gave you permission, would you come rushing?
If they told you you had the freedom to work on it, would you do it with a smile on your face?

What about the tools you'll use?
Would I feel a thing?
Physical pain?
Or just the common anxiety...?

If I told you I'm letting you seduce me, would you believe me?
If you knew I already gave you that ticket, would you make me notice?
What about the comfort?
Will I see it taking off as another late flight?
Will I try to keep a hold of it?
Or I just won't have the power...?

If you told me this has already begun, would I smile back at you?
If I knew you were already working around this, would I close my eyes and let you in? 

Lyrics by Florence and The Machine

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

I ran to a tower where the church bells chime
I hoped that they would clear my mind
They left a ringing in my ear
But that drum's beating loud and clear

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

I run to the river and dive straight in

I pray that the water will drown out the din
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out

I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole
Till there's nothing left inside my soul
As empty as that beating drum
But the sound has just begun

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

Keeper

There's magic behind the will and trust, whether we choose to believe or not, there lays the power. So if I decide to give power to a pen or a new posture, it will gain that special description of why it meant something, to which I'd probably say: "Just because".

Behind the way I wake up, the order in which I change the channels, the messy/organized pattern of my room at work, my black high heels, particular songs and peculiar phrases, the dresses, distinguished laugh... Behind them, the answer... the meaning of one simple word...
...A word that became a status, a word that grew with nothing more than my will to make it important and valuable. The idea of spending some energy and time in each and every silly task, just for the porpuse of making it real, maybe just keeping it to myself. 

P.S.: I'm still on vacation, don't buy this.

Lyrics by Oasis

I get up when I'm down
I can't swim but my soul won't drown
I do believe I got flare
I got speed and I walk on air

Cos God gimme soul in your rock 'n' roll, babe
Cos God gimme soul in your rock 'n' roll, babe
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it
In and out my brain, running through my vein
You're my sunshine, you're my rain

There's a light that shines on
Shines on me and it keeps me warm
It gimme peace I must say
I can't sleep cos the world won't wait

Cos God gimme soul in your rock 'n' roll, babe
Cos God gimme soul in your rock 'n' roll, babe
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it
In and out my brain, running through my vein
You're my sunshine, you're my rain

And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it

In and out my brain, running through my vein
You're my sunshine, you're my rain

How We Operate

0 voices


I swear to you I'll listen this time
I'll see things your way this time
I will follow up through your path, not so close of course

I'll do this you always ask me to do
And I'll wait for you to do things as you usually do
Not like back then, but as you learned recently

I promise I'll stick to how we operate
I won't betray my own soul
And I'll give you that peace
...that peace of being who you chose to be

Because this is how we operate
How we'll operate from now on.

You Just Wouldn't Let Me

0 voices

There were all of them
Each one brought something special
Something unique
Something important
 
Lights that were on and off for a while
But would always light up again
For this party of minds to be clear
Lighting each other's spaces
 
Joy after a song
Joy after a laugh
Joy after a well known answer
As a bunch of simple days with a touch of nothing,
nothing but regular seconds in company

But you just wouldn't let me keep the party going
You kept on throwing people out
You decided to rip off the lights and the sounds
You just wouldn't let me keep this friendship for the both of us

You Awake?

0 voices


Time moves faster, believe me
You remember the last time... don't you?
Remember how we made it through?
It won't be any different this time

We pulled it together back then
And then again, and so many times
For this to feel like such victory
Remember the feeling?

Just do what you need to do,
but hold on and stay with me
Just to make it through this one as well

There should be some kind of warning around me, for people like you to stay away.
Because my actions are like claws and you are always standing so close.

There should be some kind of antidote near me, for people like you to heal after my touch.
Because this essence of poison that consumes my energy was spilled all over you.

I wish I could become a better protector from my own damage,
And avoid your presence to come this close,
Because so far, I don't have the solution to this war.

There should be a version of myself that could visit you only during dreams,
Because it feels like that would be the only way I could get near you without hurting you.

Lyrics by Florence

If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart
Drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart

My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to howl
My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to

Howl, howl
Howl, howl

Now there's no holding back, I'm making to attack
My blood is singing with your voice, I want to pour it out
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallowed ground

Like some child possessed, the beast howls in my veins
I want to find you, tear out all of your tenderness

And howl, howl
Howl, howl

Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters
Hunters, hunters, hunters
Hunters, hunters, hunters

The fabric of your flesh, pure as a wedding dress
Until I wrap myself inside your arms I cannot rest
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallowed ground

And howl

Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters

A man who's pure of heart and says his prayers by night
May still become a wolf when the autumn moon is bright

If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallowed ground
