Now Is Our Time
03:24

Now is our time, as it has always been
But we've been blind, and so we haven't seen
that only the now exists,
and we live in it only.
Now is your time, as it has always been
But you've been blind, and so you haven't seen
that only the now exists,
and you live in it only.
Now is my time, as it has always been
But I've been blind, and so I haven't seen
that only the now exists,
and I live in it only.

Traveling in time
in all dimensions of space
being everywhere,
being everything
Traveling in space
in all dimensions of time
being who I was, I am
or shall I…?
Will I become what you thought I should be
or will I just be?
Will I become what I thought I should be
or will I just be?
Trying so hard to become what I am
so will I just be
Trying so hard to become what I am
so will I just be
Traveling in space,
In all dimensions of time
Skies are turning black or white or blue
Travelling in time,
In all dimensions of space
Choices seem to mean much more than they do
Will I become what you thought I should be
or will I just be?
Will I become what I thought I should be
or will I just be?
Trying so hard to become what I am
so will I just be
Trying so hard to become what I am
so will I just be?

Variations on Longing
03:14
|
|||
The longing for the kiss that never came
The longing for a touch without a shame
The need to be approved by you and seen for real
is tearing me apart…
The longing for the warmth that we once knew
The longing for just being here with you
The need to be approved by you and seen for real
is tearing me apart
I want to scream out loud how do I really feel
But scared that you’ll depart,
and leave me bleeding here,
alone without goodbye
Take my heart with you,
and let me helplessly just die
Laugh at my reaction to your acts,
For sure,
I will just
lie.

Mirrors
04:11
|
|||
The mirrors around you are shining
You open your eyes,
and the mirrors around you
are silent and clear,
or dusty and full of fear
Don’t let the mirrors haunt you.
You look through the mirrors
Don’t think twice
The moment you hesitate,
you lose sight
Just stare at those eyes,
that shine with the light inside
and don’t become a stranger.

Unwritten Signs
02:35
|
|||
Reading all the unwritten signs you are
Listening to to the unspoken words
Seeing far between what’s between the lines
Watching scenes that never took place
And even when they tell you that the danger isn’t over
you’d rather stay than run away
Reality has never challenged what you chose to see
Why not choosing to be free??
Reading all the unwritten signs you are
Finding ways to be in control
Always taking three steps before your time
and you’ve only started to crawl
And even when they tell you that the danger isn’t over
you’d rather stay than run away
Reality has never challenged what you chose to see
Why not choosing to be free?

וכשילך מפה, אז מה אשאר
אותו חלל פעור היה גם קודם, בלעדיו
הו...איחוד הגוף הוא אשליה מתוקה
כאילו שהיה דבר בינינו, באמת
בור קסמים חופר לו ממשות
בתוך תוכי
הוא מנסה להתמלא בחומר
ולא יתמלא
יומם וליל הוא מתמלא בחומר
ולא יתמלא
גם, כשצלל הוא לעומקי נשמתי
כאילו לא היה דבר בינינו, באמת
בור קסמים חופר לו ממשות
בתוך תוכי
הוא מנסה להתמלא בחומר, ולא יתמלא
יומם וליל הוא מתמלא בחומר, ולא יתמלא
ולא יתמלא
וכשילך מפה, אז מה אשאר
אותו חלל פעור היה גם קודם, בלעדיו

Winter Requiem
02:54
|
|||
All the leaves are falling
and the trees are standing naked
there is nothing they can do about it
only wait..
until the winter disappears
gather all the strength they have
against their fears
to be lonely
to be bare
until the spring comes back again
All the grass is buried
in its undercover yellow
and beneath the silence
life is breathing through its veins
and it waits until the winter disappears
gathers all the strength it has
against its fears
to be buried in the dark
until the spring comes back again

No World Between Us
03:51
|
|||
Close your eyes, and look at me
Shut your mouth, and tell me what you feel
I don't need ears to hear you
Lose your arms, and hold me
Swallow your tongue, and kiss me now
There is no world between us
Fighting to define
Giving names to nameless moments
What is this moment
Slowly breath the air within
Hold your breath, don't worry, I am here
There is no world between us
Fighting to define
Giving names to nameless moments
What is this moment?

The Guest House
03:34
|
|||
This being human is a guest house
Every morning a new arrival
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

Just Wait
04:21
|
|||
It’s flooding all your veins
It takes your breath away
Instead of always run
You might start having fun
Your default is to flight
Your body thinks it’s right
Don’t run away just yet
Just be with it and wait
Just wait… just wait…
The danger’s coming fast
Emotions to confess
Don’t run away just yet
Just be with it and wait
just wait… just wait…
You think therefor you are
But truth is that so far
You’ve always ran away
Why don’t you walk the way?
