Ruby - Astari Boedikoentjara
Oh, you're so dying to be right
assuming us in complete denial
clearly begging for that spotlight
Your accusations are beyond wild
way out of line
Let's be honest
You're aching for a paradise
not this wretched world
where we all stand on this dying earth
I first knew you
before there was him
Then there were two,
until the truth got really grim
I had to take two flights
No, sir!
Where did you get the idea
that it was about comfort?
Where’s your empathy?
Your statement has caused a lot of hurt
The generation gap:
“They’re just little kids,
so young and still stupid.
A night when we cross paths
a blast from the past
the way you look at me
full of familiarity
I know you’re still curious
A strange dream about you
We were on an open field,
when I heard you say:
“Here’s where I buried
some older parts of me.”
Through my eyes I can see
you, overcome by agony
There's your wall of misery
such a painful sight as can be
but the other side of you
Sometimes a soul wanders
to find somewhere safer
not in the shape of a building
a house full of material things
A soul can fear a mirror
Enjoy these moments
of zero torments
no demands
except work to be done
Pseudo-romance
It’s that rare ability
to push aside your emotions
Lock them all within
so you’re left to feel nothing
Voices of the worried
We’re not in school anymore
but grown-ups for sure
although some are adults
only by the digits of their age
but with such questionable attitude
