THE GLASS
The world is only but a glass,
a perfect glass through which we see
we come gazing at images
though not the the real we
The real is only but a reflection
reflections through a glass
stained by foggy disillusionments
and yet so desirable to break
In these glasses we contain ourselves
Us of souls seemingly aware
In words we speak of breaking through
But of truth we never care
Why we righteous ourselves
who are we to judge others
we know not them in real
Not even an inch of who we are
We have never been the real us
many centuries may come and pass
we speak and act, and yet we don’t
For all because of a glass
This glass is the world,
The world is only but a glass

FALLING INTO NOTHING
How can I say how I feel?
Because “I love you” just isn’t enough
you’ve changed what is real
And Im breathing in your love
My thoughts are words my mouth cant say
Your beauty moves me everyday
Its like, im breathing when there is no air
Its like, a fantasy that’s actually there
Its like, im flying when I have no wings
Its like, im falling into nothing… falling into nothing
Its not the softness of your skin
Or the colour of your dress
Its your beauty from within
That lets me know im blessed
I love you, let me count the ways
I just cant live without your grace
Its like, im breathing when there is no air
Its like, a fantasy that’s actually there
Its like, im flying when I have no wings
Its like, im falling into nothing… falling into nothing
Its like, im breathing when there is no air
Its like, a fantasy that’s actually there
Its like, im flying when I have no wings
Its like, im falling into nothing… falling into nothing
