Try Again (Nina's Song To Democracy)

No flame and no wildfire
breaking out when I met you
No stars, nothing that exploded
You said 'Hi' and I said 'Hi'
You didn't have the sun in your hair
No splash of the ocean in your eyes
It was a scent free time of the year
You were pale and in bad shape
 
Your tricks, where have you hidden them?
I thought since the day you arrived
You were not everything I had dreamed about,
You were everything I had been awake about
No time that stop,
No arrows that fell me
No fever in my body, the opposite
I am healthy for once
 
I know we gave you the most gray of roles
In our search for kicks
But you are the one that never breaks
Your lack of tricks is true magic
 
Life goes on
And I like the way it goes
You arrived completely exempt of birdsong
And it was everything but spring
No angel, and thankfully
Just good enough no more
No creature arriving when I slept
You are an awake flesh-and-blood:er
 
I know we gave you the most gray of roles
In our search for kicks
But you are the one that never breaks
Your lack of tricks is true magic
 
No head or heart that broke
But why would something need to break?
No love in our first sight
But maybe love in our last?
 
You are the one that never breaks
That I want to be with now and later
Maybe I should seek for it
But I want to try again
No storms ripping open an open sea
Just cloudy enough and moderate wind
No comets that I lost my sight from
I became blurry and misty
But never blind
 

Why do we greet them?

Those who walked past us
Why do we greet them?
Walked so quickly past us
Why do they never greet us?
Why do you smile when you see them Mom?
Who is deciding over you?
We slow down as if they had asked us to stop
The ones that never say hi
 
The children at our school
Is never late
Travel far away every vacation
Smell like detergent and clean
 
I got to go home with a classmate
And when they were eating dinner
I got to sit in a room and wait
Until they were done eating
 
My sisters and I
We tried to be like them
They just stare and become silent
We are like ghosts to them
My mom said that no matter how we try
We can never be reshaped
We are we, and they are the ones who are ghosts
We never want to be like them
 
That's why we greet them
We never want to be like them
That's why we greet them
We never, never, never
want to be like them
 

How happy can we become

How happy can we become
We, who know what the stars are made of
And how magical can we be
When we know what the brains are made of
 
How loving can we become
When we know what. When we know how.
 
I held onto your slippery hands
We built a country out of houses of cards
I let your learned lips lead me
I held onto your slippery hands
We built a country out of houses of cards
I let your learned lips lead me
 
How happy can we become
We who spilled on all maps blank spots
And how exciting can the world become
When we know what the spots are made of
 
I held onto your slippery hands
We built a country out of houses of cards
I let your learned lips lead me
I held onto your slippery hands
We built a country out of houses of cards
I let your learned lips lead me
 
Same water through the Nile (Not really the same drops)
Same meaningless screams (Never the same comfort)
Same sky over Chile (Every eye got it's own)
 
I held onto your slippery hands
We built a country out of houses of cards
I let your learned lips lead me
I held onto your slippery hands
We built a country out of houses of cards
I let your learned lips lead me
Mislead me. Fool me.
 

Not The World's Most Beautiful

You who know that a wall only is a bridge turned sideways
And what is doesn't have to constantly be
 
You who hear calls for help when no one else does
Do what you do but never get anything for it
If you don't there's no one else that will do it
 
You who go where you go without someone steering you
You who get your wounds without becoming martyrs
You who dream but never close your eyes to what is happening
Forget your enemies but never your friends
Hide and help people you don't know
 
You are not the world's most beautiful,
But the world is the most beautiful in you
And it's not in your eye's
It's in what you see
 
You who laugh your way to the outermost serious
You who make people wonder if you really should walk freely
You who always does it wrong and is never perfect
Play no games and don't give a shit about the correct
You who dare being askew and defective
 
You are not the world's most beautiful,
But the world is the most beautiful in you
And it's not in your eye's
It's in what you see
 
Oh, how you manage to inspire
Makes me want to keep going for more
Without making me feel worse, or like I have to perform
Oh, how you manage to excite
Makes me keep wanting more
It can be heard in your voices
It shines through when one looks at you
 
So you are the world's most beautiful. The world is most beautiful in you
And I see it in your eyes. I see what you see
