Let's jump in here. Is it the void you were chatting about? I want a spare room with as many doors as possible, oscillating, far enough, and two beds driven backwards in some kind of grey background, atmospheric changes will decide in our place.
The question was what to learn.

Wishing a good year to all of them. Raising up your arms, holding a pen. Writing with no time, you try to reach her. Only leave a smile rescued from silence.
"Sun remained silent"
We can’t fall asleep marking the notebooks, chasing up their prints, remembering flavours. Shall we leave this bed in a few seconds? Should we share that train? Don’t forget your records.
"Sun remained silent"
Standing on the top of a tiny box. You are coming back from the air, shining on a laugh.

He dreamt with his mother. She was angry at the time. Standing next to her bed. She just left watching people acting behind their mirrors. If I could say what hurts, I would write what I saw today: our only daughter. Your vital need, a constant loneliness. That's what I love best. Old men trusting you deep. All about fascination.

And the children asked: "why your voice change when you talk with him? Why does he want to die?" And his voice changed, completely changed when he talked to me 10 years later.
"You will sing for five minutes with the record player".
It was dark, so dark, but smelled like blood over yellow.
In this particular dream, you will sing for five minutes with the record player, you will sing with five record players.

You’re heading to that beach again, waving forms of decisions. A couple of shoes are locking your door. Any clock works. This promise won't save you, dear. The past looks amazing.
Figure the way I could just get there the way you just said. Having breakfast will not find you well. You named a book, and it’s just getting us mad. He died at the age of 50.
The breeze is a blessing.

Per-for-ming for Hyde Park neighbors. Rush of perception, as a question this time: who’s the one who wanted to come by to listen? Were the parents or the unborn?
Back where The Great Escape is coming!
Russell Square trees are blazing. I guide myself into memories. Who's the one who wanted to come by to listen? It wasn't me. This train is all the trains.

Walking your bike through the rain. It screams while you’re smoking underneath. No one leaves a word, no one gives a look. Like in a silly pop song. Steps approach themselves alone.
Don't you know that my devotion has grown cold, that my emotion has got old...? But my name’s been written bold. If I improve my accent, no. If I improve my language, no... Like in a silly pop song. Steps and lips approach themselves alone.

I took my pills off once again the day of her birth. How will be her smile? Colored buildings in the stars. I told you: "Stand on the righteous place!".
Sweet, sweet little friend of mine: Be a part of this, be afraid of this. And from all, all the stupid things I sing like “Sweet, sweet little friend of mine: Be afraid of this”.
I've seen you reflected on these fountains of London, back when I was just two years old. Dressed in a blue winter coat. Playing with the sun. And I’ve been waiting for too long to reach the parts of the ocean where you hide, to reach the parts of the ocean where you hide.
