With A Longing

In the corner there is light
That is good for you
And behind you, I have warned you
There are awful things

Will you miss me when I burn?
And will you eye me with a longing?
It is longing that I feel
To be missed or to be real

When you have no one
No one can hurt you
When you have no one
No one can hurt you

Identity

A Moment In A Life

We're just like blackbirds
the darkness painted to our chest
now our collections nearly finished
we've got bad-luck tokens,
diamond rings and goldteeth

and you say 'can't it get darker?'
well now see your
shadow down beneath

and we'll never be as beautiful
as the parakeets in Istanbul
we'll never be impossible
like the parakeets in Istanbul
we'll never be as beautiful
as the parakeets in Istanbul

Whiteness

Sanssouci

Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?
I'm lookin' through the window from the garden
Waitin' for the call to my hotel room
I'm tired of writing elegies to boredom
I just want to be at Sanssouci tonight

This photo was taken in the fields surrounding Sanssouci palace in Potsdam, just outside of Berlin. The whole area is incredibly impressive with it's many beautiful gardens and historical architecture. Next time I just need to bring my bicycle along as it is so huge so that I can actually see all of it for once.

And someday that is what I shall do!
