Welcome here dear traveller So it seems that all your travel have brought you here Here, into te wines of my raspy tired vioce What do I want, wish, hope for? Well In this one record I want to illuminate I want to shed a light on every forgotten spot Covered in autumn dust Sit back, or cook or clean or walk the dog And listen to me Illuminate the essentials We mustn't forget these, they make us who we are Listen carefully, I 'll only say it once Or as many times as you like Hey, it's your time Track two: where are we from Of course, one might lean on the factual The womb, from whence we once came But where we're really from Is the place where We became who we are today A mix of insecurity, obsession, kindness and funk Kids playing with matches at heart The place might be a moment A memory A trauma An ecstasy All of these make us all up This is where we all come from Track three: where are we Notice, look and see Everything that there is Was once made by someone Just as sad as you may be One day some day We are here, in this time Space and place We are floating ideas and Art waiting to be born and then Be born again We breathe the same air Grow from the same dirt This place we choose to declare our own This is where the magic happens This is where the show begins Track four: what are we doing here As long as we're here - we do Of course, we must try to do no harm Many have of course told you so Money money money Surely that's not all you're after, traveller Surely you kiss your mother on the cheek And hold your friend when they're filled with sorrow Surely you know what to do Do the essential Kindness and grace be done Reward shan't be expected Yet gratitude and joy They will find you Track five: alone with you You and you and you I'm so sick of not knowing How to reach you How to help you I grew fond of you, yes Every smile line and scar This I say to myself In the midnight mirror Dancing alone, giving myself a hug All alone Track six: happy as bamboo It's a silly little thing This warm and electifying feeling Happy Fleeting like bubbles in dangerous wind It may not stay for long But comes in swinging back again Like a pendulum would Had the pendulum been made of roses, wine and the starry night What does any of this have to do with bamboo You might say And I might say - nothing But the happiness of a bamboo is visible It grows from this little eater i give it And is so happily green As if it wanted to say Come on, smile with me You won't regret it Track seven: papercut razzledazzle Aow Damnit Now i spilled more than diamonds All over my papers More than glitter or the lonely gemstones of emerald green I spilt my darkest black gel pen ink And gave up all hope to say how much i need it now To tell you the truth, traveller How do you clean up such a mess The puddle of possible words now Forever unsaid How brave are you paper You've taken in all my blood and created beautiful ruby stones You've taken my demons and sealed them in a realm From which there is no return Thank you. track eight: Winner takes the world I feel as a poet thatvi sm obligated To speak on this, no matter who listens Hear me say, I believe in no ownership We don't even really own our bodies Or our money Or our book Or our time It's all borrowed from the world It's a generous world Yet still an unkind winner Track nine: Indigo blues My pen and pencil Since I knew how to write Have travelled for miles andmiles Maybe even across the whole world Inside the writings, many new world were created Like little perfect places, an escape From the pain of being true I had to There was no other was I bled blue tears into a yellow glass And whispered the truth onto pages no one read I hope they find me Because if they do, they'll find my work And maybe, juuuust maybe They'll find themselves in there too And they'll smile and my blue soul Will finally be rewarded And turn into strong silver Track ten: 'Til death we do art I know this girl With flare and her own style She draws and sees and photographs All the while Looking like an oil painting A sight to behold And as it be in many of these girls The beauty she has and the art she shares She'll never know But the beauty will fade It always does But the art stays And with a soul simillar to mine and your Imperfect, flawed The purity will forever remain Encapsulated on a canvas or in a diary Artefacts most dear, they keep our dreams They guide our thoughts out of the woods Where we wander to look for the next brst thing To turn into art track eleven: Somebody for everybody We all know him or her The mean lazy bus driver Or the post lady without a pen Exasparated by the fact we don't have a pen implantend into our palm Even they have someone, maybe just themselves Which is the loneliest of all lives But people still need them And they need people to need them We rely on each other We are connected Though we have become blind to these connections There we are In need And there is always somebody Who loves somebody Who seems unloveable track twelve: Summer ice paradise As summer approaches Even if times now are uncertain I still approach the freezer Take out the silver bucket I gave my mother for christmas With a bottle of her most favorite champagne And I fill it to the brim with ice So that when the time comes I'll fill up my cut glass with orange juice And watch the untimely cubes float and die What a metaphor for a good life Floating, being cold, being useful To ultimately dissolve and be gone forever Track thirteen: Exodus I don't pray Though I do believe In a tomorrow brighter Than the yesterday before today And so on and so forth I do not bow down to a diety But I know we are are all collectively Able to allow ourselves a breath A breath the might of a million Winds Take it, take that breath For me For you But most importantly For all those who cannot take one Anymore Now go, traveller We shall meet again sometime In near future Until then Please, stay safe, drink water and call Your friends and tell them what they Mean to you It matters It will always matter Good-bye
