A song for the bored

Give me a melody, I'll find the words to sing
I'm not giving up hope

I'm just a nobody, life's not a tragedy
And I'm not just a joke

I'm walking alone, nowhere to go
I'm working but I have no goals

Is this life, is this who I am?
Is this fine, or a useless sham?
A useless sham!

Take me to the moon, I'm not feeling good
The city is crowded dust

I'll be an open book, you can take a look
We can stare at the stars

Is this life, is this who I am?
Is this fine, or a useless sham?
A useless sham!

I'm escaping all these blues
And I will be taking you, too
We'll play songs old and new
And we'll dance on the moon, ooh

Even if life's a useless sham
I will be who I am
And you will be you!

For a heartbreak in the bathroom

I'm singing in the shower
Waiting for the hours
To pass me by

I would've brought you flowers
If this love had been ours
But you're not mine.

Oh,
And I don't know what to say
You're gonna fade away
So soon,
So soon

I'll love you anyway
But you're not here to stay
My moon,
My moon...

Tell me why I cried for your arms
Tell me why I'm begging for your love
Tell me how I'll live a broken life
Tell me how the hours will pass me by
Without you,
Without you.

I'm still singing in the shower
My breath turning sour
This love couldn't be ours,
And that is life.

The Mother Goddess

In a sunlit sky, your rainbow eyes
Take me to ancient gardens
I was born in your hair, and the gods stood there
I turned your life into madness

No scriptures, no songs, no story of us
We were soon forgotten
A goddess birthing a mortal being
A scandal, and a problem

You worked alone, you fought for me
The sun slept and you toiled
I cried in my crib, my tears shining
Lit by the midnight oil.

I hold your hands, I want that strength
That fed me, clad me, soothed my cries
I’m basking in your luminescence,
Your goddess-esque motherly smile.

To all mothers with absent help
With babies a bit different,
To all goddesses outcast, but strong
I offer you my little song.

The basket song

My basket’s all empty
I’d filled it with memories
But now it is empty, they’re gone
I’d left it all open
I think they got stolen
So I need to make some new ones

Oh
I want to be hopeful 
I want to be kind
I want to get out of
My sad little mind

I’m trying my hardest
I want to be found
I think I’ll stay afloat
But what if I drown?

My basket’s all ready
To be filled up anew
I am still waiting,
I don’t know, for whom

Oh
I want to be hopeful 
I want to be kind
I want to get out of
My sad little mind

I grasp at the breeze
For bubbles to pop
I’m thankful for heartbeats
Which did not stop

I stand with my basket
I stand here alone
I am not empty
I will soon go home

Yes I will make memories
I will find friends
I will smell roses
And happiness

I will come back once
I’m empty again
I’ll sing my sad song
And rest in my pain

Goodbye, passer-by
You have been kind
You listened to my song
I’d lost my mind

Maybe another day
I’ll run into you
For now, I’m happy
I wish you are, too!
