Snowflakes

I’m alone in a cardboard box
Snowflakes touch the ground
My bones are blocked
I’ve seen your mistakes
And I’m still counting mine
I’ve seen you go on
But always looking back
Tell me about how we got this far
Tell me about how it started
Tell me about how I need to breathe
And not suffocate
I won’t suffocate
I’m alone in a corner store
Snowflakes touch the ground
They never stop, stop
Tell me about how our love has turn
Tell me about how it left me
I know my heart only lied to me
But I won’t suffocate
I won’t suffocate
So if you leave me here on the surface
I’ll do nothing but wait a day more
there’ll be snow and cold but I don’t care
It’s easy if you hold back the flame
And keep it strong
So I’ve been waiting me here on the surface
I did nothing but wait a day more
There was snow and cold but you didn’t come
It’s easy
So I’m still waiting here on the surface
I did nothing but wait a day more
There’ll be snow and cold so
Hold back the flame
And keep it
Please, keep it
Strong

Atoms

So you left me down in a crowded room
And there ain’t no way of compromise
And no one’s yet to come
But the past is done
The present crash into me
And make me leave your door
So you came back out into the Monday sun
Crying, searching for your own glow
And see the past is done
The present crash into me
And make me leave your door
But I want more than your body
And I want more than your soul
And if we can’t find a way home
We’ll build a new one, a new one
What have I done to my atoms?
I’ve crashed down my atoms
Just dusty records left inside of you
Can’t you see that I’m no good?
So the reason why it’s here
Deep inside your chest
Hide and take shelter for a while
And see the past is done
The present crash into me
And make me leave your door
But I don’t care about your body
And I don’t care about your soul
And if we can’t find a way home
We’ll build a new one, a new one
What have I done to my atoms?
I’ve crashed down my atoms
Just dusty records left inside of you
Can’t you see that I’m no good?
When the day will come for me
I promise you that I will see
Just see the truth you’ve left behind
To live a life of shining lights
When the day will come for me
I promise you that I will see
Just see the truth you’ve left behind
To live a life of shining lights
What have I done to my atoms?
I’ve crashed down my atoms
Just dusty records left inside of you
Can’t you see that I’m no good?

A Song About Truth
04:26

When we first met you said: “Hold on to me”
Keep my eyes wide open, keep my eyes wide open
So I’ll pick up some straw dolls and I’ll burn them down
Keep on feeding our bonfire
And I’ll put my rusty heart into a pretty little matchbox
For yours too rugged to be preserved
And we’ll be ancient stars colliding into each other’s atmosphere
Stones in our pockets, but so easy to fly away
But this ain’t a song about truth
And it’s so hard to take
This ain’t a song about truth
And it hurts so bad
I’m king of rain and poor of everything
Since you’ve run run run run run away
You’ve run run run run run away
You’ve run run run run run away
You’ve run run run run run away
And I will give you all of my strength if you ever need protection
For you’re too rare to forget
And we could screw it up or maybe find perfection
Just learn to be loved, loved as you loved me so far
But this ain’t a song about truth
And it’s so hard to take
This ain’t a song about truth
And it hurts so bad
I’m king of rain and poor of everything
Since you’ve run run run run run away
You’ve run run run run run away
You’ve run run run run run away
You’ve run run run run run away
But this ain’t a song about truth
And it’s so hard to take
This ain’t a song about truth
And it hurts so bad
My truth is wasted under pouring rains
Still praying for a song about truth
Still praying for a song about truth
Still praying for my song about truth
Still praying for my song about truth

Spellbound

I found a place
Where no one could do you harm
I found a place
Where broken things can be fixed
And I’ve been corrupted
Hangin’ by a thread
I got blindsided
‘cause your sex is so good tonight
It’s sugar down my bloodstream
A pale blue morning turned tangerine
It’s enough to make curtains fall
‘cause now I’m spellbound
I know a place
Where right and wrong are just words
And love drugs keep you sober
They are maps to the stars
Happiness, beautifully true
Is bright and raw and wild
It’s sugar down my bloodstream
A pale blue morning turned tangerine
It’s enough to make curtains fall
‘cause now I’m spellbound
Well I know that someone called you out
But he’s not waiting for you
I know you’d like to reach me here
Well, you should, you see you should
So take your bags and leave your shoes
Please stop crying
Right here, right now
I see your freedom
I see your freedom
Well I just see your freedom
Walking away
It’s sugar down my bloodstream
A pale blue morning turned tangerine
It’s enough to make curtains fall
‘cause now I’m spellbound
Right now I’m spellbound
Now I’m spellbound
Now I’m spellbound

I'm alone in a cardboard box
Snowflakes touch the ground
My bones are blocked
I've seen your mistakes
And I'm still counting mine
I've seen you go on
But always looking back
Tell me about how we got this far
Tell me about how it started
Tell me about how I need to breathe
And not suffocate
I won't suffocate
If you leave me here on the surface
I'll do nothing but wait a day more
There'll be snow and cold but I don't care
It's easy if you hold back the flame
And keep it, just keep it
Strong
I'm alone in a corner store
Snowflakes touch the ground
My bones are blocked, blocked
Tell me about how our love has turn
Tell me about how it left me
I know my heart only lied to me
But I won't suffocate
I won't suffocate
If you leave me here on the surface
I'll do nothing but wait a day more
There'll be snow and cold but I don't care
It's easy if you hold back the flame
And keep it, just keep it
Strong
So strong
So I've been waiting me here on the surface
I did nothing but wait a day more
There was snow and cold but you didn't come
It's easy if you let go the flame
And face it by staying
Strong
So I've been waiting me here on the surface
I did nothing but wait a day more
There was snow and cold but you didn't come
It's easy
So I'm still waiting here on the surface
I did nothing but wait a day more
There'll be snow and cold so
Hold back the flame
And keep it
Please, keep it

f o l l o w t h e r i v e r Genoa, Italy
f o l l o w t h e r i v e r is the moniker of Filippo Ghiglione.
Stuck somewhere between RY X and
Apparat.
Songs like little worlds, balanced between the warmth of the Sunday morning blankets and the sound of the autumn trees that pass outside a train window.
The petrichor rising from the wet ground.
