Be Careful...

Be careful when you fight the monsters, lest you become one,
and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

....شبهای تنهايی

از آن هنگام که رفته ای
در نبودت فضايی خالی به جا مانده
از آن هنگام که رفته ای
دنيا ديگر مثل قبل نيست

به جاهايی که با هم بوده ايم، باز می گردم
و انگار هنوز اينجا حضور داری
تمام آن لحظه ها دوباره در من زنده می شوند
کاش اينجا بودی

از آن هنگام که رفته ای
اينجا، قلبی تنهاست
از آن هنگام که رفته ای
هيچ چيز مثل قبل نيست

همۀ گوشه و کنار اينجا پر از خاطره است
همه به وضوح دوباره جلوی چشمم جان می گيرند
همۀ آن روزها را به ياد می آورم
کاش اينجا بودی

از آن هنگام که رفته ای
اينجا، قلبی خون می گريد
از آن هنگام که رفته ای
ديگر آن من ِ سابق نيستم

جای پاهايت را در برف دنبال می کنم
افسوس که ردّ پايت کم کم محو می شود
قدر هر چيز را بعد از گم کردنش می فهميم
ای کاش اينجا بودی

Just as...

Just as you take my hand
Just as you write my number down
Just as the drinks arrive
Just as they play your favorite song
Before you run away from me
Before you're lost between the notes
Before you take my mic
Just as you dance, dance, dance.....

Happy..

(Life Drawing)

I'm so happy. Cause today I found my friends.

They're in my head. I'm so ugly. But that's ok.
'Cause so are you. We've broke our mirrors.

Great Below

and I descend from grace
in arms of undertow
I will take my place
in the great below

....زمزمه

کاش اين زمزمه‌ای که مدام درون ذهنم می‌پيچد، لحظه‌ای آرامم بگذارد؛
هر بار که انديشه‌ام به سويت کشيده می‌شود، باز اين زمزمه در سرم می‌پيچد:
"تنها به دنيا آمده‌ای،
تنها زندگی می‌کنی،
و تنها خواهی مُرد..."

(1382 ،نوشته شده توسط احسان)

....توهم

خيالی نهفته است، پشت اين نگاه؛
و آينده‌ای پشت اين لحظه؛
و خاطره‌ای پشت فراموشی؛
و فريادی پشت اين سکوت؛
و آرزويی پشت اين کلام...

(1382 ،نوشته شده توسط احسان)

Forget about...

I don’t want to be your friend
I just want to be your lover
No matter how it ends
No matter how it starts
Forget about your house of cards
And I’ll do mine

Cold yesterdays...

(Landscape Drawing)

Here I sit at the fire
Liquor's bitter flames warm my languid soul
Here I drink alone and remember
A graven life, the stain of her memory
Quench the thirst, drown the sorrow
And forget about cold yesterdays...

Fear

I get a look of fear on my face with you here
A feeling that shivers down my skin
Try to resist, but it's just not finished with you yet
A hold too intense to forget

Story so far

she silenced her mouth when I asked for her name
and she asked me to please do the same
she said it's all written in the stars
and that is the story so far

but she whispered her name when I kissed her goodbye
her voice stained by whiskey and tar
she went back to where she belonged, and I
I went back to the bar

Good Night!!

I woke up today and wished for tomorrow
I don't want to be like anyone else
I woke up today and wished for tomorrow
I don't want even be myself

Good Old Days...

Help me Stand...

(Life Drawing)
i believe i can see the future

because i repeat the same routine
i think i used to have a purpose
then again that might have been a dream
i think i used to have a voice
now i never make a sound

Chew, chew, chew

(Life Drawing)
just how deep do you believe?
will you bite the hand that feeds?
will you chew until it bleeds?
can you get up off you knees?
are you brave enough to see?
do you want to change it?

Lie...

(Life Drawing)
This is one for the good days
and i have it all here
In red, blue, green
Red, blue, green

Both of Us

(Life Drawing)
The both of us are dying ...

GoodBye

(Life Drawing)
Watching you drown
I'll follow you down
I am here right beside you
The lights in the sky
Are waving goodbye
I am staying right beside you

She is GonE

(Life Drawing)
She's mostly gone
Some other place
I'm getting by
In other ways
Everything they whispered in our ear
Is coming true
Try to justify the things
They used to do
Believe in you

MirRor

(Life Drawing)

and if you look at your reflection, is that all you want to be?
what if you could look right through the crack?
would you find yourself... find yourself afraid to see?
