These words they don’t feel like mine feelings don’t feel aligned with me I want to be feeling beautiful and free I don’t want to be deceived by you or me I don’t want to be like this but you left me without a sound you left me without wording it you left me I can feel it but you didn’t say a word I could feel it but you keep requiring don’t really know how I feel I don’t have the words to describe me you left me with no ground you left me without a sound you left me no ground you left me without a sound (x2) and you were not to blame you’re not to blame I was the one convincing you wanting so badly to be loved by you I was the one showing you how it could be I was the one giving you this opportunity you left me with no ground you left me without a sound but therefor I ask myself did you ever love me? did you ever see what I saw in us did you ever feel the way I do did you ever dream of anything with me now I’m craving moonlight to purify my soul craving the divine creeping through my body so I can feel so I can feel whole again I want to be whole again I want to function without you I don’t want to see you everywhere I go I don’t want to bother you with me anymore you left me without a sound you left me no ground you left me without a sound you left me with no ground (x2) without a sound no ground no ground no grounding without any sound no grounding you left me ungrounded without a sound from you you left me ungrounded without a sound

Now I feel to let go must be easy for all of us I feel this could work I feel I could be better better this time I didn’t ever use to believe that I could do it all by my self at least with all those insecurities worries that accompany me now I can’t even name them I don’t want to frame them for you I will be me without any names I will be free free of shame I wish I could ask for touch I wish I could say I am not enough I wish I were but unfortunately I’m not I need someone to mirror my mellow beliefs about how I could be if I was a little further ahead further than that now I feel I feel grateful for this gift I share I share with god that is inside me that is ahead and behind me surrounding my shadow surrounding my mellow mind I feel I’m ready what else is there to do I feel I’m ready ready to consume you ready for you I’m ready for your light I’m ready to shine ready to shed my masks oh so many masks still between you and me what shall I call you who do you want to be for me akasha akasha akasha akasha akasha (...) my mother

I said I would be there I said I would be I said I would be me I said I would be someone I could never be I don’t know if I can be with you if I would wanna be with me, too I don’t know if I can stay or if I would just disappear again I don’t know if I can remain the same I don’t know if I am enough I don’t know if you are I don’t know if I am just a dream I don’t know if you are just a fantasy I don’t know so much at all I don’t know if I am right or wrong I don’t know if that even exists I don’t know anything you would do anything for me I don’t know if I deserve even half of it I don’t know if I would do the same I don’t know if I would do anything again you ask ‚do you need time for yourself‘ I had even forgotten that would be an option that’s what I do I forget myself in you that’s not cause I don’t love who I am it’s more like I’m amazed by all the things that you are more like I’m embracing holding the space for you to see yourself see you in a way that only I could so far

It’s been a year since you left this realm and I don’t know how many times since I last tried to reach you feels like I lose track all the time lose the connection to my own essence I don’t know who I am again I don’t know where I’m going I forgot who I was and what I came here to say I remember I once wanted to make the world a better place and along the way I somehow lost myself I lost my space The one I gave to myself I lost my grace trying to prove it I lost my smiles and the groove that used to push me through the rough times can I only rise when I’m covered in dust I wanna be free to impact with love and gratitude not fall back every time I lose touch I’m creating my own destiny and I am taking responsibility for what I see and how I feel I think it’s mainly because I am stuck with ideas that belong no-where but the past that I lose touch with myself trying to connect to who I was but that girl is long gone it’s like I’m in a cave with no mask on it’s dark and I can’t find the line my breath is getting low and my judgements are high thinking I can do better than that I have little to no respect for how far I’ve come where is that coming from? who told me that I would never make it when I was young clearly wasn’t you who always believed in me it was you who told me I could get anything that I only believed in you said I could be anyone and already was everything for you there was nothing to achieve if you could just remind me of me and who I used to be for you maybe I could be enough can you please come back remember who I was could you bring me some memories of the stars I think I truly miss that part of life here being weightless and spaceless only awareness floating through timelessness being presence my essence being love this light too small to see for your eyes too much to grasp with your mind will you come back to meet me in this life? shaped as a human, deer or butterfly will you come back for me to recognise life

I don’t know how to love you anymore I don’t know if it ever will be like before I don’t know how to be myself when you’re around I don’t know cause all I want is lost where did I go how did I go lost what do I avoid and what’s going on I don’t know the way out I forgot where I belong it’s said space is only noise that you can see I say is noise is only space made up of matter and yea I wish I was that kind of cosmic oracle channel but I’m just me could I be happy when I’m just me can I be satisfied will I drown myself a hundred times more in melancholy I think I’m searching for the drama that’s why it keeps coming back and then I wonder what does it have to do with me how do I find my way back how do I tell him I don’t think I’m ever coming back to how I used to feel for you I don’t know how to see through who you should be all that I can tell is I like your style but not so much how you speak when you’re not aware aren’t you supposed to mirror me am I really that bad am I supposed to grow from that and where do I draw the line when will I decide that it’s better to go my own way and give up the fight where do I draw the line between shadows and moonlight

I try to surrender without trying too much trusting in my divinity my eternal being trusting that I will find peace trusting that I can’t be wrong when I surrender to my design and I come clean I want to be myself and be free I wanna invent myself everyday new without trying to be cool I don’t know if you’re right for me I don’t know if I trust what I see I don’t know you and your needs I don’t know if you feel what you feel and if you’d want to be with me more than any other one and I don’t know why I still seek to be so special do I not believe my own eyes do I not believe how I feel how I feel how I feel how I feel could I really do better or is that an idea of my mind is that an idea what I see how I feel or is that divine is that okay to be me am I enough is that okay to be me is that not too much can I express my needs and worries can I express how I feel without being judged can I be myself today can I feel complete when I say that I’m not enough today now I can feel how I tried to be someone else I did not recognise my gifts I did not recognise their worth I try to change so I could be accepted by those I can’t feel I know my purpose is right here I know my gifts are the same like my shadows only made of light shadows made of light made of light

Didn’t I always dream of language made of light didn’t I always want to shine quite bright they called me a star it wasn’t my fault I didn’t choose or maybe I am just blindfolded I have no idea where I come from or since when I’m here on this earth I have no idea where I’m going have difficulties to define where I belong I have no desire to find out today I have no requirements I have no faith and I don’t need anything in return I’m only here to learn and to grow out of this whole polarity out of this wholesome beautiful little lucid dream that we all share that we all care for that we all love that we all want to preserve each in their own way our own limitations our own destinies our own destinations I’m on my own path I wear my own divine light that shines so bright yea it shines it shines in different colours different shades different ways different ways different embraces we all have our own stories we all have our own perception isn’t that the beauty and how it’s so complex isn’t that what you love to experience for you are garden you are whole and you only watch what ever is going on what ever stories are to be written and lived to be embraced to be written and lived to be sung and played yea you can watch enjoy the ride you don’t have such a simple mind you are complete you are the universe you’re infinite you are already perfect but I am only human I’m only here to learn I am only human I’m only here to learn I’m here to learn and I’m here to play I’m here to fall and I’m here to get up again so I can repeat until I heal I can repeat my destiny I wonder is it only always the same one I wonder have I only this reality of my perceptive eyes human being you’re so divine and yet so limited you hold yourselves back even though you know that you are in love why would you show this is your life it is not mine I’m just here to play my part I’m just here to play my part

Sometimes I’m lacking all the words I can’t even find tell you the feeling inside myself say where it came from and how to resolve it I don’t know who I belong to I think the only one is truly myself and now they are calling me a narcissist I didn’t even know what that meant I don’t even know how to relate anymore I can’t say where is this all my fault and I don’t wanna deflect my guilt I’m trying to love what is and not give up myself who is only ever inside myself only ever inside my cells I thought that was taking care I thought the word was ‚self-love‘ now my very own friends call me narcissistic instead if I see lack of self-love that is only proving them right I feel so lost in my own world I don’t even know where home went I don’t know if I ever belonged I don’t know if I ever will where do you draw the line what is alright and what is not I think you’re judging quite a lot you said you’re only naming what already is naming what is how come I’m feeling so at peace with myself when I’m alone with Lila in a cave looking at a city that’s distant enough from me not feeling it too much how come when you come around I put my walls up and don’t let anyone through what am I protecting myself of what am I so very afraid of what is it that you do with me that I feel like hiding my eternity
11.
I think I might be slowly going going mad there’s a part of me that can see the future and that knows my worth at all times yet there’s another part that never knows where to start that always doubts my abilities that’s a little lost in far out fantasies partly stuck in a possible past life always shifting between illusion and sight oh my mind tends to hide the truth from me instead is showing off with abstract memories nothing ever happened the way I perceive it now which makes me wonder why bother recall people talk about being present but what does it mean? you can’t be present while you think or dream you have to be presence itself the essence you are to explore what it feels like to be present people talk about mirroring but what does it mean? are you mirroring me, am I mirroring you, is that the same thing? I think what it means is I see god in you and if you see it in yourself you’ll see it in me, too yea we came so far and yet we’re still here we’re moving in circles, repeat until we heal we’re moving in circles ’til we understand that I’m no better than you, nor more or less special we all are trying our best but we are here for different purposes now where do we belong? you can belong where ever you want I recommend somewhere you feel like yourself it’s easy to find others to love us when we crumble and adept but when you dare to love yourself the exact way that you are others will love you just the same trust your essence no-one can guide you to your bliss but presence will always try to remind you here is where the past won’t frame who we are and the future is merely an idea is merely an idea, is merely an idea no matter how fucked up your mind seems at times you’ll never lose the right to dream you’ll never lose the right to dream you’ll never lose the right to dream the right to dream the right to dream the right to dream (…)

about

„This is fragments of my journey that I thought I would never share. At least not in this form. These are voice memos from my phone from the past year that I recorded for myself to help me capture my feelings in that moment and remember the melodies and words that came through to express them. In music nothing is more valuable to me than the moments where music shows up to support me in a process and guide me through my own world of thoughts and feelings. You could say this is a bunch of unfinished songs resembled by an unfinished painting that inspired me to share them in the first place. You can call it whatever, take from it what you need.“
