Even if it’s me

Even if it’s me
The cause and effect
Of this love that burns endlessly
And in the end, dissolves within me

Even if it’s me
The shadow that waits for you
In the randomness of late hours
On empty streets where memory falls

It doesn’t matter what they say
Or what they think of us
What is love if not the pain
That inhabits what makes us alone?

Even if it’s me

ريشه ناقصة في جناح عصفوره
إيه يعنى .. ماهـو ريشها كتيــــر

that nervous stutter

 

The reason follows 'because'

a fall after a stumble

a gamble after a pause

lightening before a rumble

 

Blooms from the seed

seed from the flower

the cycle of life

revealing endless power

 

An effect follows a cause

The domino effect

The dominoes fall in line.
The hour glass trickles away time.
you cannot stray from your path you cannot get away
for fate and free choice are enemies vying for power
and the domino effect has you within its grasp hour by hour
we all want the end.
armageddon fires and to descend into chaos
for utopian dreams are too hard and too way off
freedom drains away in this technological world
like sand through cup...
