Empty

Do you actually know what you're telling
When you're saying nothing at all?
Do you actually know what you're doing
When you're doing nothing at all?
Nothing but making me cry
On the inside

Shattered

Every time a teardrop falls
A heart breaks into pieces
While the sky is weeping rain
The soul is crying blood
And the eyes finally close
As the night's last breath dies

Stop

Don't look at me
That way
With sadness in the eyes
And emptyness
And silence
Come make my heart race fast again
Come make its voice speak up
Cause otherwise I feel like I'll forever bleed
And with me the world

For Helly

The black seagull rises
To dive into the sky
Lonely 
Forever
She has lost their game
Strong in appearance
But empty at heart
Her cry calls the shadows
As her hopes fade away

Hidden

The rhythm burns
Words turn to ashes
Silence's growing fast
While the key to all of this
Lies deep inside your heart
But it's hard to find

Dedicated To My Elementary School Teachers

They cheer on you
They smile to you
They speak with laughing voice
Open up!
We want to know
What's going on in you!
With all their grinning faces
They'll never understand
What I will never show

No Title

You think about it
Read about it
Believe that you'll forget
Where's the story?
Where's the truth?
Why do you even care?

My Mind

I'm reaching out
Throughout the rain
I try to see
I try to look
Right through the fog
But all I see
Drowns in the shadows
Reflection of our souls
Shining through our teardrops
Maybe
I'll never know
I'll never see
Who you truly are
But I'll try

Reflection

She stands at the river
Stares into the water
Trying to see
You don't understand?
Well, you don't have to

Screaming

Every day
And all the time
I try to flee the feeling
I try to shut it out
Pounding beats
A screaming voice
Almost
But not enough
Waiting for the mercy
Hoping it will come
Actually it shouldn't
It would do no good
Starting it for new
After the darkness
It would feed it
Not deleat it
But what would?

Question for you

Is you a person
A description
Or simply an emotion?

©Viktoria Buben 2012

Cold

Nobody realizes
What nobody thinks
The darkness grows
The lights turn off
The musics fading out
Trust and love and faith and hope
Quietly fall to pieces
And maybe that's 
Why I'm afraid

Living

Life lives from music
With stories within
Words come together
To make stories live
So sound is the key
That we all keep breathing

©Viktoria Buben 2012

Fog

I'm drowning in my feelings
With no emotions at all
I'm reaching through darkness
Touching nothing at all
I don't even have a goal

Standing In The Breeze

Feelings are colours

That dance in the wind

With stars out of roses

And darkness within

©Viktoria Buben 2012

Random Thought

Plastic bags keep drifting
But sometime they fall down
Born to fly and born to die
Just as everybody

©Viktoria Buben 2012

Eternity

Why is it in this world

That almost nothing stays

Music stays the longest

But not for eternity

Not even for a lifetime

Or a single tear

The meaning passes

As you fall 

When you have reached the bottom

Of your deepest thought

In your last emotion

And never coming back

To stay

Different

You scream when they are talking
You're running when they walk
You cry when they are laughing 
You're drowning when they swim
You're similar to me

There's More

You know me
You say
What I like
What I loathe
What I think 
What I mean
What I believe in
What I love
And what I do
You know me
You think

Chanceless

It was ringing in my ear
It was screaming in my soul
Telling me to think about it
Telling me to find a chance
Convincing me I had to do it
That it was my destiny
I believed it
And I failed

Forgotten

It used to be something

I didn't think about

It used to be something 

I just did

Something like breathing

Something like thinking

Something like making a choice

Things have changed

Time's racing by

And

Washes away all those things

Things like smiling

Things like laughing

Things like remembering you

Lost

Life’s drifting by

Like a cloud in the breeze

Love’s losing light

Like a rose loses blood

Lie’s growing fast

While my laugh loses spark
