Scribbles on a Napkin on Planet Orange

and your brows turn into a frown

don't think of him

think of this

let the music move your heart

lay there quietly in the dark

let the pain go through all the parts

and let it go

I’m finally free

to be what I’m meant to be

I’m feeling lucky

the road has been rocky

oh liberty

oh liberty.

I will see you one day

and I’m not sure but I’ll pray

to be with you

to be with you

to be with you.

We’re alright till we’re not

We’ll remember what we forgot

and feel the pain 

and feel the pain

but that’s okay.

In troubled times I find myself reminded of you

And your face lights up my universe, I swear it is true

I’m living undercover, breathing like another

but in my heart I know it is you

It is you.

I’ve traveled far to offer you all the love I have got

Your light heals me from the disarray

and confusions dissipate

I know this may sound crazy 

but it feels no more hazy

all I wish for is to stay 

We’re living in forever now,

we’re breathing in our love dissolved,

our love dis-so-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-olved.

We’re living in forever now,

we’re eating our love dissolved,

our love dis-so-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-olved.

We’re living in forever now,

we’re drinking our loved dissolved,

our love dis-so-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-olved.

We’re living in forever now,

we’re living in our love dissolved,

oh dear, let’s stop to pretend

that one day one of us will bend

in a way

in a way.

no matter how much time we spend

or how many prayers we send

in that way

in that way.

we will find each other

and will leave each other

for the rest of our lives

of our lives.

we will die for each other

and will live for each other

we will kill each other

and we will love.

oh, what a crime

what a time we’re living in

we’re living in.

oh, what a fiend,

oh, how we’re blind 

to be what we are,

how we are,

to be,

collect the debris of my wasted heart

collect the corpses from the highway tracks

we’re never going to change

we’re never going to change

we’re never going to change our ways.

i

am a non-believer now

i

don’t even know, somehow,

and you and you and you and you and you

should know.

smash the CDs in the living room

smash the piano with a broken broom

we’re never going to change

we’re never going to change

     Perhaps it is the sun that I’ve always been searching for

   That sunlight that gives everything colored vibrancy

   Those hours at noon when the city grows quiet

   as it retrieves into soothing shadows to sleep.

   A brightness that fills every corner of an unshaped mind

   The glittering of a deep blue, endless sea

   All the golden rays I’ve been yearning for

   dancing around the silhouette of what’s meant to be.

   A warmth that envelopes all possibilities

   I want lightness to hold my heart and catch me in my sleep

   Souls unfreeze

   Finding you, I see who I’m meant to be.

you’ll stand up

where you have fallen

wait till the sun shines

to carry on

your story

wrapped up in a storm

wait till the winds stop

for them to show.

soon you’ll know

love will grow

dark days will go

don’t let nobody tell you

you’re not worth your role.

i think you should know:

underneath the earth there are

seedlings of love

you have sown

with your heart of gold

with your heart of gold.

look for the rainbows

never settle for the darkness

nor the cold

and remember

you’re never alone.

fly to the ocean

of hearts of gold

fly to the endless love.

you are here

you are there
