Mirrors

MIRRORS
 
Your lack of responsibility annoys me
Your absence bothers me
Your iciness destroys me
Your hovering distants me
Your judgements fury me
 
Mirror let me see my face
And let us walk in our own pace
 
Loving,  beloved
Victim and judge
Discharge yourself, be released from grudge
Giver, receiver
father and son
Friend, enemy
All are one
 
Supposed to be in unit
But still feeling numb
‘cos I say I’m here but I am gone
 
Confounded by your selfishness
Desperate through detachment
Disrupted by your remissness
Distressed by abandonment
 
Mirror, let me see my face
And let me be in full ablaze
 
Teacher, disciple
The feeder and the fed
Deceiver and dupe
Both are misled
 
Giver, receiver
Father and son
Mind, body
All just one

The Girl Without A Name

Hello there,

I'm finally finishing the lyrics that I started a long time ago. Time to let them go. *Sigh*
Although there's no music (yet) to it, I wish to share my lyrics and this 'Shan Silent Screams' blog seems a good place for that, right?

Every other week or so I'll post one of the finished lyrics.

Happy reading and happy week!

Love, Shan


The Girl Without A Name

 Cease the fire!

 

Just around the corner

Abandonedly on a chair

She was awaiting me, led by my despair

 

With my feet in the mud

I watched it all go by

Desperate for an anwer I got one uncensored

No single thing has meaning on itself

It’s all in service of our purpose

 

And we’re all a spark

And we all return

Little flame inside will make us yearn

 

She led me back

To the core, my throne

This girl was leading me home

How irrelevant to know my name, she said

The girl, the girl without a name

 

No more warriors, only dancers

Dancers of life

No more warriors, only lovers

Lovers of life

Only givers

Givers of the Gift

Only messengers

Messengers of Love

 

‘Cause we’re all a spark

And we all return

One little flame inside will make it burn

 

She led me back

To the essence, my throne

This girl showed me what’s home

The girl without a name

Must be the keeper, the keeper of the flame

Free As A Bird Now


 

FREE AS A BIRD NOW
 
 
I don't know what you wished for
Don't know if you could bow
But the truth is you are free
Free as a bird now
 
 I share most of your passions
How proud someone can be
Still never went to your beloved country
But when I go, will you be there with me?
 
When I step out of bed and speak my morning vow
and I hear the birds whistle, I know: you are free
free as a bird now
 
When my mind is dark and foggy and all I can ask is: How...
and the birds on the porch are whistling, I know: I'm free
free as a bird now
