Fool Maria

When you hide away the daylight

The thief, he comes to rob you

With arms stretched out like a cousin

You swore you've only seen once

Approaching with caution

So quick, he gets your name wrong

Your singing betrays you

And still you want to go on

But you're no fool, Maria

With your half-moon crescent eyelids

Dipping like a curtain

That lets you know it's over

We are fiction as it's written

The bleeding ink on paper

Quiet as an aeroplane

Before it hits the mountain

We are song

We are gone

If I said that I had chose this

I then would be a liar

I am only living sentences

That were long before I got here

And you are proof in flesh

That God himself is behind this

You don't need to understand

But truly you must live it

And I want you to be free

And I want to be at ease

Naked as in Eden

Before there was the thief

It's true that I had visions

It's true that I heard voices

My mind was a tired earthquake

When my thoughts were breaking dishes

Falling into pieces

And running towards the exit

Keeping my composure

As I saw the landscape split

In two
