Therapy as Alchemy

My religion is Me The most beautiful I The most beautiful You The most beautiful We. My temple is Now Filled with peace and sweet sounds With a sun shining bright Where everything can be. My army is quite strong and is always prepared. Dancing colours and sounds, could make anyone scared. Yet we come in peace, we would never attack. But don’t think that we can’t. It’s not strength that we lack. We just choose to invest in the wounds and the pain In the places too dark to even be named. And we’ve met with demons, had a battle or two. Just to be clear about the things we can do. Now there’s no need to fight darnkess and pain All they need is a hug, to be brighter again. As you see, we are busy. It’s not fun and games. It takes courage and faith And some tears down your face. There are no clear rules, nor a guru or guide. You have your own soul and need to shup your mind. And our Bible is filled with all the things we are not To be ...

Nobody cares if you're alive or dead. What a relief it can be to get that in your head. Nobody cares if you can sleep at night, If you are having breakfast and your tummy is alright. Why should they care? Think deeper. They have their problems too. Their issues, jobs and demons. You've seen them. You know it's true. And you are not that special. Not even just a bit. You are barely smiling, always trying to fit. Trying to have good manners, you never dare to frown, An interesting hairdo, the nicest dress in town. Trying to get a good job, proudly become a wife, Then spawn some kids around you, To make sense of your life. But after it's all finished and you've lived through it all. The perfect marriage, big house, the most expensive car. Imagine you could really get everything you dream, What will be the very last tought you will have when you leave, This planet filled with people, with laughter, love and pain? When you think of your life, will i...

Take me to wonderland, darlin' I wanna laugh all night. I wanna see the colours, That sparkle in the light. I wanna lay beside you. Tell stories until dawn Of things that we both dream of Of who we might become. Make plans about our garden, Our kids and dogs and cats. Be happy for a second Pretend that it will last. And fight, but just a little Cause you want a big car While my dream car needs only To take us really far. Cause wonderland is far dear And you need a strong ride, A woman that adores you So she won't leave your side. We plan and plan for ages But the funny thing is, While sitting here beside you, I think I see a glimpse. The stars are shining brightly, While we are holding hands. Oh, my! Guess what, dear? We are in wonderland!

Take a leap of faith to live your life alone. Cuz you need lots of faith to not need anyone. To see life filled with colours, With flavours, love and sound. To keep your feet well grounded And your head in the clouds. The bravery of being. Without moving at all. The beauty of becoming. What we forgot we are. Your soul will find quite simple. Just shut up for a while. Those people that surround you. Are just as scared as you. They are confused and panick When they face something new. But new things don't just scare you Because you could get hurt. You sense you are in danger. That danger is your heart. That beast can love so fearless And push you and this whole world It can actually move mountains It makes this world go round. You know that she is fearless And can do anything But damn it, don't you let her You tell her that she's weak. Your ego can be helpful He knows a trick or two For making your heart tremble Not knowing what to do. Yo...

It just feels right. Like I'm calm. In my bones. It just feels like, I am safe, I am home. You just feel like, There is no train to catch. There is no place to be Since this can't have a match. It does feel like, We could stay in the dark. We could breathe the same air And just exhale all that's bad. We could get to a point Where we could even touch. Trying to grasp for air. And explore without rush. But hey, bodies do lie, You might think they can feel. But it's souls that you want. Those are strong, brave and real. Not just any young soul. That believes this is real. Who survives in this world, While we're craving to feel. Choose one that's been through hell, Feeling all there is to feel. Yet managed to come back With a pretty good deal. It was something like this: "You go back and you give, You share love, care and hope. Don't forget to forgive." So I got back and thought: Who would want such a thing? ...

Do you live near, do you live far? Dive with the fish or dance with a star? I need to ask: Do you want love or do you want war? I see the way your carry that little bag, And somehow you sweat and fight and drag. I feel how you fight your battles each day, While constantly chasing kind people away. I see how those mean nights keep you up  They like how you fidget and crawl in the dark. And how in the morning it still doesn't stop. You just gained another night when you didn't figure life out. The good part is that I have the same questions as you. Or is it bad? I don't have a clue. At least we can dream, we can talk, we can laugh. And then start all over as if we forgot. But the mind gets confused and often plays tricks,  Don't think about it, there are no things to fix. Just try to feel. Please don't talk and don't ask. Your chest holds the answers your mind doesn't grasp. You seem a bit mad, a bit los...

While I walk down the street With a hand in my hair Looking for something That just isn't there, Don't touch. While I sit on a bench With a book in my lap Trying to grasp If this life is a trap, Don't touch. While I walk in the sun With a smile on my face, Looking at strangers That just frown and race, Don't touch. While I sit next to you, And I just want to be, Don't fill space with words, Just sit next to me. And don't touch. Cause if you touch you might see, You might know, you might feel. All the things you could be, They are yours, they are real. And you don't want to see, And you don't want to feel. All the things you can be, Please don't make them appear. For your heart is still weak, And you can't trust yourself. To be touching my cheeks While you're searching for help. And I don't want to love Just another young soul. That is lost in this world But who just won't let go. So don'...

I danced with sadness all day in my living room, She filled the air and I could feel her doom. She filled my chest, my lungs, my throat, my eyes. She’s an old friend so there is no surprise. She comes here knocking but she owns the place. She acts mysterious yet I know her face. She’s never left me in any of these days, So hey…I really think she cares. She never speaks but somehow makes me scream She likes to watch when love stories get grim. We try to hide it, yet somehow we both know Seeing me cry is still our favorite show. We like the same things, we never go apart. We watch those movies in late nights in the dark. She even curls up in the bed with me. I’m starting to believe, this could be destiny. I just don’t like how every now and then She gets all jealous when I find a friend. I love her to bits but it’s still not enough. Don’t tell her but I think we’re breaking up.

Why hide from love? Why hide from pain? Feel everything. Fucking live again. You wanted love, you wanted air, You wanted so much more than you could bear. You asked for love, for thrill and touch, But when they show up, it’s too much. You asked for gentle kisses in the sun, For nights where you melt and become one, For that one lover who can see your soul, For feeling things that make you whole. You wanted everything but not too much, To feel her close, but never touch, To share your love while keeping your heart safe, To share your life but still live in your cave. Life is damn short and all you want to do is work? Not make some kids? Not show them what is love? You found the weirdo that would dance all night To bring some sparkle into your boring life. And when your story would seem too dark and blue She would simply make another one up for you. You know, this was the answer to your prayers, And like a fool, you go...

Dropping from the sky, a love like this. Sent from really high, a love like this. Sometimes hard to grasp, a love like this. But I have in my hands, a heart like his. Dancing in the dark, a love like this. Touching, kissing slow, those lips of his. Trying hard to grasp, a love like this. You could miss a breath, your heart could skip a beat, your eyes could go blind and still you are just his. Who needs eyes to see? Or bodies to believe? The things you feel right now, could never ever leave. For souls who dance like this, can also love so deep Your flesh won’t need to touch a single fingertip. The room is full, the lungs are dried, Biting the souls, that never died. Now replace every love with fuck. Could you ever get enough?

Kiss my eyes he said last night. Silence came, there was no light. Kiss my eyes to seal them shut, while I walk away from you. Kiss my eyes so I don’t hurt, to avoid the hurt in you. Kiss them so that I am safe, long before I care for you.  Kiss what you can kiss today since tomorrow is all new. Kiss my lips so I can breathe. Kiss my hands so they don’t bleed. Kiss my cheeks so they can smile, also hold me for a while. Not too much, you’ll make us cry. I can’t trust the flame in you, all those looks, they seem untrue. I can’t give my love to you, I’m so weak, somehow you knew. But that faith you put in me, makes me blind, it makes me flee. All you are and you could be, I will never ever see.
