Stargazer

Stargazer
by me(whatever)
to starduster

Unable to depend on anyone,
and unable to feel loved,
I ran a million miles away
to the temperature in the milky way. 

Always selfish, and always in pain,
enveloped in their screaming.
I stared at the gap between the evening lights,
silently wishing to disappear.

I don't exist at all,
drowning in this upside down ocean.
throwing myself away in the nebula,
I'm turning to ice.

hidden in the darkness,
floating weightless in the air.
I don't even know their names,
billions and billions and billions. 

there's no one else,
the vapor seeps from my mouth.
show me something untarnished,
in this world like scrap paper.

somehow I left behind,
my beloved on the other side.
like this, my body is just sleeping,
waiting and waiting and waiting.

cold hands, cold cheeks, cold ears,
even my blood has turned blue.
Not a single thing is left,
except for the stars in the sky.

Android

Android
by me(whatever)
to Kano- Human (a Android works)

a project made of dreams and hope,
that's what you said,
unplugging the dome and steel.

The world was broken, "destroy",
muttered in two syllables,
a man-made death machine.

Is it something difficult?
Is it something they caused?
The angel within the shell.

two days, two weeks,
were they also "human?"
Splitting the air with dust and heat.

Input code, words across the screen,
flashing through in a green overlay.
I don't know anything.

Where did they go?
Reaching towards with four fingers,
what is it that you see?

It's all gone, stored in the cold device.
who are you?
who are you?

a project made of war and desperation,
two years, two centuries,
where did they go?

Q

Q
by me(whatever)
to Q- feat. Rintyan

There's no use for the umbrella,
dangling, broken, on the hood of the car.
You wiped your nose on your sleeve,
as I stuffed a rock in our jar.

It was supposed to be a treasure,
but the way it is now, it's worthless.
Everything from the city to the dirt,
has flown up and blown away.

"Hello, I love you,
I'll take good care of you."
Both of us always
had to throw away our shoes. 

tossing the paper down the drain,
I grasped your small, cold hand.
Stepping over tires and broken glass,
You asked a question.

There's no use for the watches,
that blink and wink on my wrist.
The white streaks down your cheeks,
may now subsist.

We were supposed to be a treasure,
but the way we are now, we're useless.
The empty jar that holds our hopes,
we clasp it tight to our chests.

"Goodbye, I hate you,
I'll leave you behind."
Both of us always
had to make ourselves blind.

The scratching noise in their ears,
We tucked our feet in the alleyway.
Swallowed beneath 1,000 lost possessions,
You asked a question.

Snow Globe

Snow Globe
by me(whatever)
to Sky Fish

distortion rules in this claustrophobic space,
I wish on my 154 shooting stars.
In another time, in another place,
to extend beyond these bars.

There's a snowman who always smiles,
never responding, and never changing.
yet far and beyond, miles and miles,
those words are exchanging.

white and white and white,
winter in the bottled clear sea.
my hands attached too, too tight
on a sleigh that won't come free.

this color is painted,
drowning, artificial?, alive?,
the blue out there is tainted,
waiting for your mind to revive.

A castle of glass on the other side,
solely I remain in this kingdom.
a crown only the lonely have tried,
where you have everything but freedom.

Gravity

Gravity
by me(whatever)
to Longing

This morning,
I awoke in an illusion.
Taking these steps,
quietly wrapped in confusion.

It was a tiny walk
across a gap in the sky.
"I suppose I should turn back now,"
I said within a sigh.

There's a world you've never seen,
and it all belongs to me.
concrete suspended 12,000 feet,
in the air like another sea.

"define gravity, please?"
from the balloon I named Campanula,
I've set out for you,
calling you names through the nebula.

in a city without people,
the windows glint as the gulls fly by.
winding through the spiral staircase,
I still can't find a reply.

The wind rustles in the blue grass,
invisible to the voices below.
let me disappear in this translucent color,
breathing in the afternoon glow.

Please come back,
I'm begging you like a child.
Watching the nimbus drift through,
I cried as it piled.

Astronaut

Astronaut
by me(whatever)
to Astronauts- piano arrange

Remembering what I left behind,
on this tiny, claustrophobic Earth
I took a look from the corner of my memory,
trying to define my worth.

I've escaped 10,000 years away,
waving a white flag in a place
so cold and dark and lonely,
for it's always night in space.

I've sung my songs here,
yet why does no one hear me?
I've beaten the cage upside down,
yet why can I still not find the key?

In the door beyond the boundary,
I took the spaceship to the stars.
I love you
I loved you,
but could you ever see my scars?

It hurt
It hurts
It's hurting.

All those words and unanswered letters,
in a springtime at the end of the world.
Final message,
final messages,
my banner is unfurled.

In a heart as cratered as the moon,
I stood there losing oxygen.
would you stand here with me,
just one more time again?

Drowning,
I'm sure we're all drowning.
Sailing alone in the milky way,
with the feelings who were cast away.

where am I going?
where did I go?
To a destination where I can't see anyone,
dark in the fields aglow.

I loved you,
I love you.
in a book of constellations
I slipped and fell through.

Goodbye,
forever and ever.
Farewell,
never to never.

Remembering what I left behind,
on that tiny, claustrophobic Earth.
Your face slowly melts away,
waiting for my rebirth.
