Ex Nihilo
Ex nihilo nihil fit
Ex nihilo nihil fit
Ex nihilo
Seek, feel, and touch the core with us
Embrace the catharsis of creating
Ex nihilo nihil fit
Ex nihilo nihil fit
Ex nihilo

Atoms

Atoms
You’re standing on a plain, snow-covered, shivering with cold
You said I’m yours
We hold onto each other like fallen leaves on frozen ground
With healing wounds
Our faces stroked by the fall
We’re freezing, we’re just small
Atoms who blindly crawl
Towards each other after all
You’re standing on a plain, snow-covered, shivering with cold
You said I’m yours
Fear from loneliness and madness are the strongest bonds
But now we’re found
It feels like swimming under water or like praying to the sky
One can’t do with open eyes
Our faces stroked by the fall
We’re freezing, we’re just small
Atoms who blindly crawl
Towards each other after all
Look at these frozen bones on the sky
We call them stars but that’s a lie

Wide Eyes

Wide Eyes
A heavy burden of choice
On my deepening mind
My eyes are wide from both fear and from wonder
I see my way but I’m lost
In this straight labyrinth
I’m drowning in paradox
I’m drowning in paradox
No more fear from the walk
Through the dark forest of my mind
This pressure of freedom
And stone cold apathy
I can’t see but I feel
There are greater things than me
But I’m sinking in apathy
I’m sinking in apathy
Meteors light my mind
I peel layers of my thoughts

Ocean

Ocean
I’m not saying that I’m crying
Just an ocean fell out of my eyes
My hands are smoky firewalls
Clasped for prayer
In the mud I shed my faith in rags
I’ll leave it there
I’m not saying that I’m crying
Just an ocean fell out of my eyes
Gratitude is sand beneath my tongue
I’m kelp between God’s toes
I’m a dead fly on his dusty windowsill
Burden of meaninglessness
I’m not saying that I’m crying
Just an ocean fell out of my eyes
I’m a splinter in God’s numb palm

Psalmus
The dark won’t wash out my skin
It will hide my soul
And hide all of my sins
Look, here’s my heart it’s dead
It’s my heart which once bled
It’s my heart which once bled
Give my dead heart to the one
Whom I’ve hurt the most
Whom I’ve hurt the most
Well please, give my dead heart to God
My dead heart to the Lord
Whom I’ve hurt the most
Against whom I fought
But always lost
Look, here’s my heart it’s dead
It’s my heart which once bled
It’s my heart which once bled

Aphelion

Aphelion
A strange orbit
I’m the furthest of the Sun that
once so brightly lit
My eyes are cold
As I stare into the Sun
It’s myself I behold
Aphelion
It’s been a long time since I’ve been me
Aphelion
Aphelion
It’s been a long time since I’ve been me
Aphelion
I’m a paraphrase
Of silence as I’m floating over
nameless days
With sanguine eyes
And blue lips I lie on God’s chest
I’m paralyzed
If there’s such a thing
A spiral of nothing
Well, it pulls me down
I could be a medium
Of some ineffable drifting
But I’m captured in vacuum
I’m at the nadir now
I try to move away from this feast
But I don’t know how
But if there’s such a thing
A spiral of nothing
Well, it pulls me down
Aphelion
It’s been a long time since I’ve been me
Aphelion
Aphelion
It’s been a long time since I’ve been me
Aphelion
But if there’s such a thing
A spiral of nothing
Well, it pulls me down

Wolf Throats
I'm a thought I run without feet
I'm a thought I fly without wings
Their hunched furs in shreds and they haven't been fed
The wolf throats are red as they howl at me mad
This upward falling breaks my bird bones
I have nothing to atone for
Can't you see that the conductor is dead?
The orchestra's led by a score that's unread
Their hunched furs in shreds and they haven't been fed
The wolf throats are red as they howl at me mad

Disguise

Disguise
I’ll try to fly so high
That you can find me
if you want to
I’m wearing your favourite clothes now
so please look at me
please look at me
I am not planning to go now
so please talk to me
and I will tell you
This is just a disguise
I’ve always lived inside
I am full of yellowness
’cause I was never enough
We should go into the mountains
and have a log house
near the forest
We should count every trees there
and be together
walking among them
This is just a disguise
I’ve always lived inside
I am full of yellowness
’cause I was never enough

Litmus Heart

Litmus Heart
Love’s just stumbling between colours
that can be brighter
that can be darker
It was your voice which framed the silence
I was speechless
I had no answers
How do I feel in this replaced world?
My litmus heart bleeds
In your sour words
An exile into the silence written on ancient sherds
An exile behind the meaning of the words
These words unspoken sleep beneath my tongue
That there's always some madness in love
Pointless movement kills the moment
Two shaking souls
In the existence
It was your face which confessed silence
The only thing that
Held us together
An exile into the silence written on ancient sherds
An exile behind the meaning of the words
These words unspoken sleep beneath my tongue
That there's always some madness in love
My words are stumbling rope-dancers
On a cord between our hearts
An exile into the silence written on ancient sherds
An exile behind the meaning of the words
These words unspoken sleep beneath my tongue
That there's always some madness in love

Bitter Steps

Bitter Steps
This is why I learned to walk
For these belated bitter steps
Your last words still throb in my throat
A lingering move in the cracks
Time weighs heavier in the dark
Upon my mind than in the light
Stars are bruises on the sky
The dawn bites the pupil-dark night
I bear the wounds of all the fights
I avoided in the past
I bear the wounds of all the fights
I avoided in the past

Valaki jár a fák hegyén
(Kányádi Sándor, Kaláka cover)
valaki jár a fák hegyén
ki gyújtja s oltja csillagod
csak az nem fél kit a remény
már végképp magára hagyott
én félek még reménykedem
ez a megtartó irgalom
a gondviselő félelem
kísért eddigi utamon
valaki jár a fák hegyén
vajon amikor zuhanok
meggyújt-e akkor még az én
tüzemnél egy új csillagot
vagy engem is egyetlenegy
sötétlő maggá összenyom
s nem villantja föl lelkemet
egy megszülető csillagon
valaki jár a fák hegyén
mondják úr minden porszemen
mondják hogy maga a remény
mondják maga a félelem
