Song of Existence | Khanjana Sarma

Still
The water is dancing
In the eyes of the frozen fish

More the music twists up
Deeper the voice of absence

Sand slipping through fingers
Even the hour glasses remain empty

As the setting sun
Spreads it’s fire on water
The last winter leaf falls somewhere

And the silence of the cold grave
Mounts from the depth
Of the conch shells

Don't Believe My Smile | PYG's Whisper

I wish I could close my eyes and sleep tonight
I wish I could erase those bad memories from my heart
I wish I could forget who I am just for one day
Please don’t believe my smile
Don’t believe when I say I’m fine
Don’t let me give up, hold my hand
Tell me I will be okay
Tell me I won’t be forgotten
Tell me I still have a chance, no need to be hidden
Don’t allow me to hurt my lips with this fake smile
Don’t believe it ‘cause I’m bleeding inside
I’m weak like a sick flower
I could die if you leave me alone
I’m so afraid of sleeping in the dark
And I can’t turn on the lights
‘cause I don’t want you to look at my ugly face
I don’t know why I’m crying again
I don’t know why this baby girl in me won’t grow up
I don’t know where to go
And I don’t know what to do
I’m lost in my own world
Many closed doors are surrounding me
but I don’t know which one I’ve to choose
Can’t find my way can’t see my future
my tears blinded my eyes, can’t you see I’m broken
My body is sweating, can’t you feel my hot fever?
I was screaming in my dreams but no one heard my voice
I was running toward paradise but my foot didn’t reply my moves
Can you read my words?
Can you see my wounds?
Can you understand when I say
Don’t believe my smile
‘Cause I’m not happy at all
I can’t be where I want
Cause I don’t know where I belong
I don’t even know who I am…

Fatherly Advice | Stan Morrison

I copied everyone I thought was cool
Until I allowed me to be myself
I wasn’t as cool as my illusions
Not as brave as I credited others

Find out what’s true for yourself
You’re bound to save a lot of time
Say good-bye to NOT AS GOOD AS
Any measure must be your own

If there is a final reckoning
Copycats never look the same
Better to cash in on an original
YOU ARE YOU always prevails
