Ugly
So ugly the wish is coming up to die
By spreading clipped wings and starting to fly
Do you know why?
___________________________________________
By loving a beloved who didn’t care
Who only wished to see and to stare
At a ‘beloved’ that would fit certain visions and a certain world soullessly
But therefore just perfectly
___________________________________________
Who is first treating sweetly before afterwards charging a punishing fee
With twisted mind games
With twisted words
___________________________________________
Which broke the sight and tore into two separated worlds
Running after false promises and sweet lies
With my own future and ambitions I have cut ties
___________________________________________
And I flew into the sky
Flew so high where the air was thin
And where it was hard to maintain my breath
___________________________________________
Flying around freely I have encountered finally death
And oh how bright death was
While shining upon a promising and bright future
___________________________________________
Aside a beautiful and ambitious guy
Who was whispering love and in the end said ‘bye bye’
So many times he went away without to care
___________________________________________
Leaving behind what he called ‘love’
He had nothing more to share
Nothing more to whisper
___________________________________________
Except lies
For this having cut ties
With my own world to which I was once connected to
___________________________________________
Flying high up in the air didn’t make me find heaven
It did make me go hell through
It made me cry when screams made the warm earth go cold and numb with fear
___________________________________________
The trees arms trembling and loosing all of their leaves while they were filling up with smear
The earth shaking as the floor cracked up and leaked
The hot pitch that has accumulated beneath
___________________________________________
Volcanos erupted everywhere
And above of it all
My mind started to crack as well as my soul was tainted with the so-called ‘lover’s dirt’
___________________________________________
And when my soul finally started to fall
I first saw shadows creep and heard devils scream and shout
Not knowing back then what this was all about
___________________________________________
I just couldn’t do anything but to fall free
And break while I finally had to see
And out of my conscious fall I rised
___________________________________________
I woke up besides a wonderfully blooming tree
It was so big and beautiful it made me cry
Because when I stared at it, it smiled into my face like the otherworldly sun would do and it said ‘Hi’
___________________________________________
‘Hi there’, it said, ‘why are you staring at me like that? Did I do something wrong?’
‘No’, I replied, ‘I was only amazed because you are so beautiful, shiny and strong.
And because I like your vibes and song.’
___________________________________________
‘Well thank you, I love to sing, indeed and I love to vibe – it’s just me.
I go lalala lola when I feel happy and free.
I saw you falling beautifully through the sky returning my vibe out of the starry sea
So I spread my wings and here I am, blooming as your one and only Dragontree.’
