The Year I Disappeared
03:02

You push and turn
I keep running in the dirt
chasing your mind
always behind
And my song goes on
but you're always my concern
Stealing my mind
Stoping my time
CHORUS
There was a bottle in the ocean
a bottle in ocean
A letter of devotion
I threw in the ebb that night
to leave this mess behind
From the ashes you appeared
I stood still as you got near
It was the year I disappeared
in the ocean of your watered eyes
And now we're drowning in our darkened nights
We've got past and dones and gods above to match
But what can I do with you?
We will always be out of tune
Chasing our faults like sinners gone wrong
You will never forgive my songs
And I don't dare to sing along
I've got them deep inside of me
Buried in this dark, blue sea
Can't you see you're choking me?
There was a bottle in the ocean
a bottle in ocean
A letter of devotion
I threw in the ebb that night
To leave this mess behind
From the ashes you appeared
I stood still as you got near
It was the year I disappeared
In the ocean of your watered eyes
And now we're drowning in our darkened nights

Om Mani Padme Hum

A thousand miles I have travelled for truth
Learned quiet my mind, not to run from youth
I am practicing silence, om mani padme hum
still my mind wanders back to you
You opened the door to my well hidden past
I never was lonely until you spoke my thoughts
I’m walking from safe land, I need a new start
took a train ride to nowhere, to restart my heart
Awoke in the forest with no sense of time,
threw the weight of my shoulder to leave this behind
I’m walking from safe land, I’m lost can’t you see?
Oh lord I am calling, save me
Save me
Save me
I was lost but you turned away
Oh I couldn’t make you stay
Make you stay…
I’m down by the river, I’m begging for peace
I wish to discover this purpose of me
I’m naked and homeless, stumbling through the dark
write me out of this poem, give me back my heart
I thought I was found when he spoke all my thoughts
I gave him my freedom, I gave him my heart
I’m naked and homeless, stumbling through the dark
write me out of this poem, give me back my heart
”I’m down by the river, I’m begging for peace
I wish to discover this purpose of me
I’m naked and homeless, stumbling through the dark
write me out of this poem, give me back my heart
I thought I was found when he spoke all my thoughts
I gave him my freedom, I gave him my heart
I’m naked and homeless, stumbling through the dark
write me out of this poem, give me back my heart”
A thousand miles I have travelled for truth
Learned quiet my mind, not to run from youth
I am practicing silence, om mani padme hum
still my mind wanders back to you

Searching for the treasure
that my father left behind
I am walking at the bottom of the sea
Cutting any contact with the world I heard is out there
stuck in between my thoughts and reality
I planned it to perfection
52 weeks of reflection
my existence in the hands of this worm
Fragments of the outcome
perfect melodies and rhymes
I opened up my hands and lost it all
I spent a year all alone, I have disappeared
I am leaving the world all the time, my dear
oh I was never here
This fire, the sweet burning hell within
Write me out of this poem
Walking through valley of my memories and dreams
red crosses of the places I could live
I thought I kept them safe, hidden well behind the screen
Through their eyes it’s not real if it’s unseen
But they hacked it and they crashed it
evidence of my existence
the empire I’ve worked on all my life
20 years of moments disappeared into the omen
the reflection of my being in the blade of a knife
I spent a year all alone I have disappeared
I am leaving the world all the time, my dear,
I was never here
This fire, the sweet burning hell within
Write me out of this poem

Verse
Em / Em / C D / Em /
I can hear them talking, but no one knows my name
They tell me what I’m lacking, says I should chase their fame
But I don’t care at all
I don’t mind my faults
The roads I walk are cracking
I rest where I can lay
I paid my dues by busking
I’m always on my way
Just tell me where to go
Tell me where to go
Pre-Chorus
C / D / Em / Em x3
They keep running and I keep crumbling down down down
all the things I thought I wanted they mean nothing, it means nothing at all now
If I had it all, I don’t think that I would care at all
CHORUS
C / D / Em / Em
Backs keep turning
I keep running my one man band
and I’ve been singing to this world with no one listening
and I never wanted more than that
So if you take me to the start
I would never sell my heart
I would trail up my own way
I would spit on their parade
and I will go
until there’s no place to go
Verse
Em / Em / C D / Em /
’Cause I can hear them singing with no piece of heart at all
The crowd gets what they paid for but I always wanted more
I always wanted more
I still want it all
And I don’t even care that they’ll never know my name
I can hear them talking, talking about the fame
but I don’t care at all
I don’t mind my faults
CHORUS
C / D / Em / Em
Backs keep turning
I keep running my one man band
and I’ve been singing to this world with no one listening
and I never wanted more than that
So if you take me to the start,
I would never sell my heart
I would trail up my own way
I would spit on their parade
and I will go
until there’s no place to go

The Glass Child Sweden
Im an organized mess.I believe in the future,for Ive seen yesterday and Im still alive.When I was 18 I left everything I knew and moved all on my own to London to create the life I wanted to live & find the person I wanted to be. I learned how to build my home in my music and my words. When I sing or write, I'm not scared anymore. I believe in writing your own story,and that's what Im doing here. ... more
