Casanova

Casanova died two years ago
His blood is still trickling down the floor
I can't feel the fire within you
Neither can I feel the winter blues

You lie dead awake in a picture frame
Your body lay scattered in the butchers lane
You rose up but I brought you down again
Cause you never returned the kiss I gave you

In the coldness of the night
I see the ghosts pass me by
They say it will rain very soon
Can't wait to be drained out of you

Your desperate cries rings within
Your hurt expression makes me feel
I think I should put on the painted mask
And cry Casanova please return

Coward

The pills they stopped reacting
The thirst that never quenched
The faces they started changing
But darkness remained the same

How on earth I lived so long
Should have departed
Before things went wrong

Should have flown high
Might have reached you in time
But since I am stuck here
My wings fail to fly

Meaningless it seems
To live to die or to claim
What has never been mine

Within the clouds I would have been
I know you are there all alone
But is it me that you seek
Or is it tears that you want to shed alone

Coward the one who flies away they say
Doesn't matter what they say I will leave today
To meet the coward and be one myself

Special Friend

I fell in love with a stranger once again
I was smitten by her but i knew she was vain
Now I don't love her we call ourself friends
Sitting together lonely by the bay

I met another girl last night
Her eyes were wild and sweet was her touch
We had some drink together and ended up at her place
But I ran to get back to that very special friend

I feel so disillusioned
With the wild eyes and the wicked smiles
Hold me dear they might disappear
And tell me that you are there
Always and forever be
That special friend waiting by the bay

Then came another and another
Each one made my heart grow weaker
And no matter how I try to run and take a hike
They come back with vengeance on their mind

I got disillusioned
By the wild eyes and the wicked smiles
Hold me dear I want them to disappear
And tell me that you are there
Always and forever be
That special friend alone by the bay
