they're here to rescue you
let them help you
without asking
if you wanted to
a safe landing
but you're still tense
and it won't end
anytime soon
that's not the real you
i couldn't help myself
to let you know
lights went blue
when they started to turn off
the whole night sky and the moon
it's not safe to tell the truth
you sitting on the sidewalk all alone
i'd pretend we're through
but i just long to spend some time with you
though all of your beliefs are bloomed
into a bouquet of lies you tell yourself
to keep feeling true
cloud-cuckoo-land welcomes you
i used to enjoy your music, now it sounds dull
who're you trying to fool?
we all know she's not waiting for you
i feel old and you too
maybe this is the last thing we share
or maybe not

i loathe to dream you’re always here
you, kind and still in love with me
a jeering script emphasizes what i still miss
as you rocked my head you whispered to me
i say “ we’re finally free to be happy
and here we are together, i won’t ever leave”
your naked body,
it silently shakes and twists over me,
while the friction disrupts me,
i can’t help but fear the end of it
and when i forced myself to think, what i was living ain’t reality
you grabbed my wrists and pushed my head against the pillow with a kiss
it’s been like my life was ending here, as fast as light, dazed and unclear
when waking up is like dying i want you beside me
bite my lips, you little minx
we’re lying still
while watching films
and everybody’s here
they’re all sharing some tears
left from the washed out years
the end’s not near

No Meaning

almost every word you say turn out to be a claim
on how i spend my time
...or is it you who's really wasting my life?
hun, it's better off this way, i can't feel ashamed
and you won't apologize nor let it go
can't you see i'm not the same in your presence
since the day you exchanged your freedom for an higher pay
conceived during the doomsday, an unpleasant way to say
nobody wants you to stay
oh my life's without a meaning
i don’t need one now
oh, i want you and the world to see me
but everybody’s gone
are you alright if i keep sing to you
if not i'll push my throat on fire
mature, a word without a meaning
when…”i don't care, whatever, never mind”
trust, trust, trust again
a pond of doubts full of sinking blossoms
lost lost lost again
lost in the search of the epicentre
toast toast with your friends
one last time before the fated end
you're nothing like my ex
crafted from the ashes of my teenage sins oh yeah
oh my life's without a meaning
a second-hand one would be fine
oh a recipe to help me live
in an eternal state of flux
that should be enough to make a living
free from any aching heart
kind, a word without a meaning
…”go fuck yourself, i hope you die”

No Missed Calls

the fan blades on my ceiling
keep spinning on and on
dizzy, counting my days down
and believe it or not
there's no time left for grieving
as the sunset almost gone
(here’s the afterglow)
somebody leave without a reason
or at least that's what you taught me all along
i've no hope left for the season
yet it seems not to worry me at all
no missed calls
from you anymore

going out
party time
i'm so sick of the people here
i'll drink some wine
it corrodes my throath
but it's the price i pay
to be able to stand here
talking face to face
i thought about it a lot
and i can't say if i'm still fond of you by now
or i'm just seeking your ghost in the crowd
i just want to fight you
i'm not here to argue
your choice of leave me anymore
i don't want to hug you
i just want to hurt you
i never believed a word you told

No Desire

the guilt is pouring out from your songs
i know what you want
the same old thing all humans
are looking for
singing nothing comes
your way and that's all your fault
thinking you need her loving to move on
your chin shakes with words
of dread and loss
and that's no good
breakdowns come and go
but a tainted love
surely make them worse
no desire should leave you in denial

don't get me wrong, i'm glad you found your one
or at least someone to bring in your bed when outside gets dark
i used to take notes of people acting numb
and then once at home improving my own stunts
your conquests list increase while mine is stuck
to a point of no return, i'm afraid my sex drive's fucked
i used to play that game more than i ever wanted
guess it's my own fault if i fell out of luck
when the wheel goes round it's easier to be stuck
in a spin of satisfaction that it's not even that much fun
maybe it's just my mind preventing me from going mad
chasing another flawless form just to be let down by its abstract part
don't get me wrong, i still want to find the one
or at least someone to blame not to be right enough
i still enjoy make fun of people dread
of being alone and still not being enough for themselves
not even this song
nothing can save you
and all that you've lost
will haunt you forevermore
if you want to come around
it's not the time, now

Nobody Matters / Alienation = Paranoia
by riːˈjuːnjən (REUNION)
I recorded this single under the moniker riːˈjuːnjən (REUNION) back in the late 2014. Surprisingly, years after I can still stand it pretty well. Which is an utterly underrated achievement.
