Forgotten words

Hieronder enkele gedichten en flarden tekst die ik tussen 2008 en 2013 heb geschreven. Er zit echt wat van alles tussen. Respectievelijk:

Saw

Manhattan

Day

Pijn

Vee

Jij, Kleine Zus

Alcony

SAW

So he’s got your wife

And he’s got your kid

And you’ve tried everything

To get through with this shit

And you tried the box

And you tried the shirt

Even tried your socks

But it doesn’t work

This is complete madness

And the phone keeps ringing

This is really too much

More than you can bear

You want to save the ones

You love over there

But you’re powerless

Don’t know what to do

How to answer it

You don’t have a clue

You are going mad

And the phone keeps ringing

Now it’s time to act

You’re sure you heard a gun

You want to help them now

Yet you cannot run

‘Cause your foot is tied

To this goddamn chain

You don’t want them to die

You’re going insane

You cannot hold this much longer

You’ve got to do something

Something

Right now

Or it will be too late

And the phone keeps ringing

So you grab this tool

Lying next to you

And you grab your foot

This is what you’ll do

You’ll barely feel the pain

You only have one goal

Madness grabs your brain

Insanity rules your soul

It’s not an easy job

Hard to cut through the bone

But once you’re done with it

You feel like going home

But it dawns on you

Will this sacrifice

Matter anymore

Or were you telling lies?

The pain is unbearable

Your mind is shattered

And the phone stopped ringing

MANHATTAN 

So let us go back then

Back to these streets

Back to the park

To fulfill nostalgic needs

We will drink hot chocolate

From this shop on 103^rd

And bagels will be our madeleines

As we get lost in the herd

We will board a ferry

And see this old lady

We will frolic near the lake

Have a drink in all things shady

We can get off at 33^rd

Get restless in the whirl

Walk seven more downtown

Feed the pigeons, feed the squirrels 

We will see the blue whale

When we visit the museum

Get lost in Manhattan

To relive our dream

Sometimes it’s short, sometimes it’s long

Sometimes a rattle, sometimes a song

Sometimes like heaven and sometimes like hell

Always a blessing, so spend the day well

PIJN

VEE

Priest in the sewer

Feeding off rats

Sleeping in a pool of crap

Shitting amidst bats

Rats will take over the world

Riding on gators

Biding time while man succumbs

Rats will prosper later

They will inherit our world

As we have messed it up

So better bring faith to the drain

Right now religion stop!

JIJ, KLEINE ZUS

Jij, kleine zus,

Onbedoelwit van twee machten.

Ontsnapt eraan ben ik.

Wat staat jou nog te wachten?

Vangnet van de pijlen

Die je ouders schieten.

Altijd raak, zelden mis

Schijf van vlees en

Bloed

In de kamer

Van je bestaan.

ALCONY

Red, red wine

Cold champagne

Let’s get drunk

In the rain

Be alive

On the balcony

Hold a knife

Sex in jeopardy

Order pizza

Drown in beer

Max our pleasure

Love in gear
