Not you, just me


The dip in the cool pool
soothing...dreamy...
I know I was a fool
It was not you - just me

I rose above for air
but..ah! I was drawn
I just did not care
I swam back down

Time was not my ally
Cool pincers stung me
I was fish out of water
I shuddered n thrashed wildly

I was dripping wet
I was tired and sore
It was not over, not yet
for soon, it was cool again

I was cool, but not wet
I was dry, I did not cry
Now, I do not despair
I do not gasp for air

Tough, so tough

So much brimming
in the cup of life
No, not in
but from outside

Holding it at bay
holding it all out
Its tough, so tough
Well, let it in u say
but what if its not enough?

The dam is full
about to burst
you say are you a fool
let it out first

Holding it at bay
holding it all in
Its tough, so tough
Well, let it out you say
but what if its not enough?

Water drops fall down
the fire still struggles
It wants to cool down
but still it wrestles

Holding it at bay
holding it all out
Its tough, so tough
Well, let it in you say
but what if its not enough?

Days and nights
smiles and pouts
warmth and bitterness
love and heartbreak

Holding it within
holding it all in
Its tough, so tough
Well, let it go you say
but what if its all that's left?

Tell me how??

I wanna run
run
run
From this wave of thought
Before I drown

I never wanna be the one
One
One
The one for you
But I like to be someone

Im in love
And my heart is in war
Nothing seems
Fair so far…

I wanna run , never wanna be the one…in love

I feel like a child
Who lost his only toy
Help me decipher,
Life’s message of joy

I feel like a king
A king in exile
Someday will conquer my sense and reason
until then life is gonna be smthn erstwhile

Im in love
And my heart is in war
Nothing seems
Fair so far…

Don’t wanna feel like a child,a king in exile…tell me how??

Blank reel

A blank reel..A fresh leaf...That's what people have always yearned for, after a time of turmoil. The past is never painful. No, not even the memories. It is the nameless and undescribable something associated with the past and its memories that seethes inside and threatens to burst open.

I dig n dig deeper
There must be a way out
It's late but sooner or later
I've got to have my shout

What's buried is buried
but no, not forgotten
Not missed, not wanted
but the mess is still rotten

The past has no glory
No pretty pictures, no butterflies
There's not much of a story
just wanderings and pointless lies

We look for a reason
after losing it
If there's no use running
We might as well just sit

Not my time
but I don mind
'Tis a blank reel I want
when I try to rewind.
