Nemesis

Softly breathing
Underneath a white blanket
Her nose is bleeding
White is slowly turning red
Fragile as a little bird
She’s waiting for the night
Quiet cause she can’t be heard
Reaching for the light
Revenge for justice
What is done is done
No one can be trusted
But everyone belongs
Protect what’s yours
The vulnerable and the weak
Fight for the poor
And let them speak
There in the dark
Staring at a purple dot
It’s coming from the other room
She’s ready to be caught
There in the dark
Staring at a purple dot
She will never know for sure
It is all she’s got
The words her mother spoke
In the middle of the night
Only to provoke
She knew that she was right
And in a second
Feeling the sharp edges of her knife
And she reckons
This will be the end of the strife
There in the dark
Staring at a purple dot
It’s coming from the other room
She’s ready to be caught
There in the dark
Staring at a purple dot
She will never know for sure
It is all she’s got
And in the echoes
She hears the bitter tone
And in the echoes
She hears the bitter tone
Calling the name of
Someone she used to know

Sidelines

Cannot answer the question
“What is it that keeps you up at night?”
Heard about self-possession
But no one tells you that is hard to find
See myself on the sidelines
Forming words that linger in my mind
Somebody say that it’s alright
You just have to be here for a while
Maybe this is just a phase
Maybe I’m in a daze
I’m not even close yet
But I know someday I can hold my own
Still I’m lost but I’m not alone
Nothing is ever set in stone
Guess I have to face it
Oh I know someday I can hold my own
You and me we’re not different
I’ll solve all your problems, you’ll solve mine
And in the slightest movement
I catch myself just looking for a sign
Am I collateral damage?
A common thread I still can’t figure out
Somehow I think I will manage
A new beginning on familiar ground
Maybe this is just a phase
Maybe I’m in a daze
I’m not even close yet
But I know someday I can hold my own
Still I’m lost but I’m not alone
Nothing is ever set in stone
Guess I have to face it
Oh I know someday I can hold my own
Quit the overthinking
Cause I got tired
But for what it’s worth now
We’re all the same in our little lives
Oh I can’t keep running
From the child in me
Can I be my own friend
Again, please?

Hide

And we feel the earth shaking
Underneath the layered lights
Cause we’re running out of time dear
For our fathers to fight
All the tears we cry in silence
Smother us with guilt and pride
Cause we do not know the answer
But we do know how to hide
All we do is
We cover up our lies
We would rather
Live with no ears and eyes
All we hear is
The good will come in time
Then we’ll care for
Our own forgotten lives
And we speak the words of wisdom
From our mouths a desperate try
To forgive our greatest failures
Fading out in soundless cries
We were raised with expectations
Of a land filled with desire
If the truth will fall apart now
Then we do know how to hide
All we do is
We cover up our lies
We would rather
Live with no ears and eyes
All we hear is
The good will come in time
Then we’ll care for
Our own forgotten lives

Empty

bad news is the daily truth
we can’t deny it
too much noise but yet we choose
to lie about
everyone
is telling their story
its glory
makes it hard to understand
that we’re all dying
come into the waiting room
it's like they’re saying
fold up in a big cocoon
we’re slowly fading
and when it’s done
we will be brighter
lighter
that’s what they said
still not prepared
we cannot fight it
don’t you see
there’s nothing underneath
we lost ourselves
we’re choking in our sleep
don’t you see
there’s nothing underneath
we lost ourselves
we’re choking in our sleep
we’re only an empty shell
we’re only an empty shell
wash the dirt off of your face
in holy water
you can’t stop your fall from grace
don’t even bother
cause when it’s done
only our stories of glory
keep us awake before we fade
buried in darkness
don’t you see
there’s nothing underneath
we lost ourselves
we’re choking in our sleep
don’t you see
there’s nothing underneath
we lost ourselves
we’re choking in our sleep
we’re only an empty shell
we’re only an empty shell
don’t you see
there’s nothing underneath
we lost ourselves
we’re choking in our sleep
don’t you see
there’s nothing underneath
we lost ourselves
we’re choking in our sleep
we’re only an empty shell
we’re only an empty shell

June

First of June came to an end
I wonder if you still pretend
That we’re the kids we used to be
Throwing rocks into the sea
Heavy minds at seventeen
Laughing till we’d disagree
On how the world would fall apart
Drawing tears and bleeding hearts
All of us now, slowly disappeared
Our final bow, taking on our fears
We made a vow, remember we once said
Till death do us part3
Summer school and salty hair
Writing songs, we didn’t care
About the boys calling our name
We had us to take the blame
All of us now, slowly disappeared
Our final bow, taking on our fears
We made a vow, remember we once said
Till death do us part
Oh how we danced
All of us now, slowly disappeared
Our final bow, taking on our fears
We made a vow, remember we once said
Till death do us part
First of June came to an end
I wonder if we were just friends

The Day Antwerp, Belgium

Since meeting at ArtEZ School of Music in Arnhem the two keep reconciling distances, differences and always new approaches and perspectives. The Day work on formulating their own version of withdrawn, melancholy pop music. The Day is intimate without being intruding and speaks with an inner calmness. ... more
