I hate this part - PCD

We're driving slow
Through the snow
On fifth avenue
And right now radio's
All that we can hear

Now we ain't talked since we left
It's so overdue
It's cold outside
But between us its worse in here

The world slows down
But my heart beats fast right now
I know this is the part
Where the end starts

I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through my fingers

I don't want to try now
All that's lefts goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you

I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take your tears
I hate this part right here

Everyday seven takes of the same old scene
Seems we're bound by the laws of the same routine
Gotta talk to you now fore we go to sleep
But will we sleep once I tell you what's hurting me

The world slows down
But my heart beats fast right now
I know (i know) this is (this is) the part where the end starts

I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through my fingers

I don't want to try now
All that's lefts goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you

I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take your tears
I hate this part right here

I know you'll ask me to hold on
And carry on like nothings wrong
But there is no more time for lies
Cause I see sunset in your eyes

I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers

I don't want to try now
All that's lefts goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you

But I gotta do it
I gotta do it
I gotta do it
I hate this part

I gotta do it
I gotta do it
I gotta do it

Oh
I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take these tears
I hate this part right here

Psychedelic

Ecstatic when I take a whiff of your aroma
Delirious when the thin roll is wedged between our fingers
Delighted with a promising night of endless liquors

Sunken when your tears roll
Unsettled when your mind maps up its branches
Keeled over when you change your mind

With the ups come along the downs
The wall carefreely splashed with myriads of colours
Yes, someone overspilled the palette
And it's you -

I'm colourblind -
I can't tell between the hues of blue
Neither the tones of purple
Nor the tints of green
And smudged together,
they casually create the perfect piece of art.

Terminal Velocity

There are some days I really do love my job,
And today it is one of them.

The most interesting aspect of this job is to whizz past the milling crowd of travellers on a travellator, sensing their excitement (and fatigue at times) and recounting in my head the destinations they are travelling to..

Awaiting fervently as they stream in from their destinations, many happy to meet their loved ones...
Counting anxiously as the time is running out and the need to locate the forgetful traveller becomes increasing pressing....
Observing carefully as an imagined traveller and stepping into the shoes of them...

Travel does wonders for the soul.
I wish I was the one leaving on a jetplane though.

I remember my last flight from Paris to Newcastle in 2006 where I was stuck in Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport due flight delay and it was reaching the end of my exchange days in Europe..
I was finishing my 3rd year of university and was wondering what to do with my life...

Then I was looking around and found several globetrotters, on their PDAs, laptops, working furiously as the plane was further delayed...
And I told myself I would definitely have a job that requires me to travel around a fair bit... and work even when I am travelling in the airport...

It appears I am relatively close to my dream... In a certain funny way...
Life brings you in a large circle, here I am...

Nevertheless, I certainly hope one day I would be closer to this dream of mine.

说好的幸福呢


你的绘画凌乱着 在这个时刻
我想起喷泉旁的白鸽 甜蜜散落了
情绪莫名的拉扯 我还爱你呢
伴你断断续续唱着歌 假作没事了

时间过了 走了 爱情面临选择
你冷了 倦了 我哭了
一开始都不快乐 你用卡片手写着
有些爱只给到这 真的痛了

怎么了 你累了 说好的 幸福呢
我懂了 不说了 爱淡了 梦远了
开心与不开心一一细数着 你再不舍
那些爱过的感觉都太深刻 我都还记得
你不等了 说好的 幸福呢
我错了 泪干了 放手了 后悔了
只是回忆的音乐盒还旋转着 要怎么停呢

L'enseignement à distance

Avec la proximité, rien est appris

Rien va changer, rien va améliorer

Tu pense que tu sais, mais je crois pas

Avec ta douceur, ta douleur a révélé

Avec tes rires, la mort de ton amour te faisait pleurer

Avec tes mots, j'ai découvert tes petits mensonges pieux

Avec toi, ton âme est morte.


Tu es perdu, tu es cassé -

Tes yeux ne veulent pas voir

Ton coeur ne peut pas sentir

Ta lèvre ne veut pas sourire.

Ton âme sœur, je suis pas.

Quel que soit le prix, je suis ici pour toi.


Je veux rien,

Je veux seulement que tu cicatrises

Je veux seulement que tu puisses tomber dans l'amour dans le futur

Je veux seulement que tu puisses être aimé

Seulement parce que tu es précieux.


C'est tout, c'est simple, non?
