Sk Danish Tanvir

Well, I was nine and she fifteen,

Singin' so bright for a kid in teen,

A saint in some backroad dream.

Too young to know what it all would mean,

Baby Girl singin' like my fairy Queen.

Pull the moon down its silver neck,

You cause whole world to shake,

I can’t slow the ache,

And I lie awake.

And I couldn’t turn back,

Fell in love with the songs,

Hangin' off a ramshackle shack.

When the sun sank low, we'd ride the stars.

I came apart right where you are—

Those songs hit like so bad weather.

You see strange colours—

Can you feel it my girl?

The sky wasn't blue,

Nor Jim wasn't brown.

In strawberry field, strummed some crooked guitar,

She rode the horses, dream so far.

How can you see blue with different gaze?

Said you learned that trick in your wildchild days.

Slept playing a broken sitar.

Morning came and she wasn't there,

Just a kid again, hand to the speaker.

You kept losing all your friends,

The way you lost me—

And I'm all eighteen looking back.

Well, don't she know my name,

All your fans can might be same.

You shine in flames and I'm so lame.

So much noise, I fade unnamed.

Still I wonder if it lingers,

If you sing ’bout me

—Some random Stranger

In a way she'll never admit.

God—

You melt me like sugar under heat,

And every time you breathe,

Little soul you take.

So much I love her—

God how I want her—

When I’m away from you,

Somehow better than ever.

Light as nothing, tied together

And I did so much, all this to-get-her.

Oh you Blind girl.

Why the lights go flicker?

Why does life taste so bitter?

Girl, you twist my hunger,

Fix me with a shunter,

Tear me into thunder,

Hold me under wonder....

And I adore you

Far than I should've.

And I tryyyy-aiiii-eiii...

Love, I try.

Swear I'm not telling a lie—

I'm not a bad guy.

I rot my brain, got no blood, not a stain,

Try not to say your name

'Till I go insane.

Pulled me up so pain,

Hit by a falling crane,

Runnin’ all over rain

After Shear and strain.

Play you again—

Burning all in my brain

Like I see you in the frame,

How simple and never lame.

Oh, how I love her—

My eyes go so blur.

Who the hell you man,

You broke my shelter.

When I saw you in paps’ flash,

With the other guy, and I bend and clash.

"Baby... I'm so trash."

Love you 'till I dieeeee,

Love you 'till I dieeeee,

When the world won't be mine.

Even when I cross the line

Won't let you be mine.

Bored of so much of trying

Won’t you to more shine

Still won't let you be mine.

Love you 'till I dieeeee,

Love you 'till I dieeeee,

Baby I'm still falling

Past the warning signs.

I'm well off, but not on the Breadline.

Ah! What I see there,

Girl you know the man, who lives here.

He was always there.

Old Mr. Crowley,

He's my neighbour,

Found laying cold under that corridor—

Behind that door.

The Killer, I'm sure.

Was it the lights went off?

(Coughing)

My terror stuck in my cough.

He owned the sky, that wicked buyer,

Killed the bird, then claimed he's higher—

Said the world was fine, "no war, no fire,"

He shut me up—with a wire.

He called our struggle a Joke.

Rejected the child,

Man who kills the wild.

He's a clown,

Followed orders from another clown.

The man of Red Lights

Gets profits from the fights.

There's a duck, I say who the fuck.

(Still I kept getting Bombed)

So I called the ones who love me,

Told them, "I'm alright, don't worry."

My life is smaller

Since I know her.

My mom, my father—

God, they deserve so better.

I'm getting colder,

Wish I could hold her,

And I think it's over,

Lord only you could bring her

Into my bloodstream.

And now I can't leave her (now).

Old Mr. Crowley, he's my neighbour,

Found laying cold under the corridor—

Behind that door.

The Killer, I'm sure.

But Crowley wasn't just a man,

Chase him down the sun.

Run Run Run Run

Run Run Run Runnnnn

Heartbeat pacing—

All embarrassing.

Knife ain't killing,

Water spilling,

Self-fulfilling

Thing.

"Crowley dies."

"Crowley cries.

Crowley burns in electric fire.

And I kill the ghost."

"Oh Man,

Crowley killed the child,

And I save the wild.

A soft click,

Like a record needle lifting.

The story pauses on an empty groove,

And the lights in my room

Blink once,

Twice,

Hello

—No Answer.

Is anyone there?

The world is at the end, My Friend.

Then settle into

A gentle

Blue

Horizon.
