Infinite

The world is so big, love,
So big we can go on forever,
The world is so cruel, love,
So cruel we will never reach the end.

All we have is so little, love,
All we have is you and me,
All we have is so much, love,
All we have is what lets us be.

Do you need the world to know, love?
Do you need the world to see?
Do we spend eternity together, love?
Do we part ways to be free?

What do I say to you now, love?
What do I say to change our life?
What if my words could change the world, love?
What if sadness disappeared and joy was rife?

Words mean nothing to me now, love,
They seem hollow and untrue,
Wish for my happiness now, love,
And all my happiness is you.

Insomnia

I don't remember sleeping anymore,
The world just turns off and then on again,
I keep wandering through any open door,
Walking on that deserted lane.

I don't remember thinking anymore
Questions of what if and what not,
The days pass by and I keep chasing,
With oblivion, I have cast my lot.

I don't remember searching anymore,
For joy or pain, love or hate,
I don't now have any desire to soar,
Just drift on the gentle gusts of my fate.

I don't remember hoping anymore,
Hope is for people with expectations,
All I have in place now is a rot in my core,
An absolute emptiness and strange infestations.

I don't remember living anymore,
I have seen life, all I have is imitation,
Nothing helps, not money, drugs or education,
No desire, no love, and no ultimate motivation.
