Words


Truth to be told,
the greatest token.
Words to be seen
but never spoken.

Concealed with barbed wire,
shed in good faith.
Dreams come undone,
this is the fate.

The Winter of past,
becomes the truth.
Whatever was,
it is the youth.

Torment is real,
writhe in pain.
Scrutinised before long,
nothing to gain.

Bearer of news,
born to adore.
Make a conclusion,
find and abhor.

The pungent smell,
arisen from the grave.
Words rot,
giving as much as it gave.

Å ikke vite


Det verste som finnes
er å ikke vite.
Ikke vite hvor.
Når.
Hvorfor.
Hvordan.

Man sitter der.
Maktesløs.
Uvitende.
Dum.
Patetisk.
Sint.
Forbannet.
Teit.
Naiv.
Glad.

Alt på en gang.
I et sammesurium av
løkkeskrift som tvinner seg rundt
den nærmeste bokstaven.
Helt paralysert,
man vet ingenting.
Ingenting i det hele tatt.
Bare smerte.
Og tårer.

Spekulasjoner som henger der,
løst i luften.
I mangel på svar tegner vi luftslott.
En føler skyld,
og skyldens time har kommet.
Kommet,
for deretter å forsvinne.

Alt blir kaos.
Man blir dum.
Dum uten å ville det.
Dum uten skyld.
Dum fordi det bare skjer.
Bare.

All Alone


I am all alone,
even though I am standing in a crowd.

No one can hear me,
because they are too busy
being popular.

When I am here,
they just ignore me.
When I speak,
they just laugh.

They are blindfolded
by trying
to be someone they are not.

When I am here,
no one can see me.
I am kind of invisible,
but I am not really hiding.

They go on with their talk,
surrounded,
on their little island.
Do not even notice the world outside.

It hurts me,
that it has to be this way.

No one by my side,
but I manage to fight the tears.
But I can not forget the wounds inside.

I am tougher than the rest,
standing here all alone.

I want to let go of this place,
and make an end.

It is tough,
got no scars to show.

They hope to see me crawl,
they hope to see me fall.

If I leave this place,
I will leave no trace.
Because I know,
they don’t care.

To them,
I do not matter,
I do not even exist.

They just follow the rest,
trying not to be the outsider.
Well, I do not really care,
I am leaving them out of my life,
anyhow, anyway.

They do not realise
how foolish they are.
No one is independent enough,
struggling to fit in.

Well hey,
I would rather go on,
being all alone.

Just being me.

Because I am not the one,
who is living a life based on a lie.

A Disgrace to Mankind


You laugh at me,
but I only feel disregarded.
A disgrace to mankind.
I am not impressed.

You tell me tales that have already been told,
you humiliate yourself.
You deal with the devil
and sell your soul.

I look into your eyes,
and I can only see two big black holes.
I look at your smile,
and I can only see your teeth.

I can only see you,
the person outside.
You are a disgrace to mankind,
search within for every piece you can find.
