Oyster 03:14
OYSTER I can see the beach from here so little of the sea can't have it all wouldn't you agree with me? I can feel the sea But not the beach Can't have it all Wouldn't you agree with me? Waves embracing me ... What's that in your hand? Oh it's a grain of sand I will treasure it What's that in your hand give me that grain of sand I want it Give it to me! It sharp and irritating Rude and real frustrating That's not how my beach was ... Sand irritating me !! A//ard Krijger

Bird 02:32
BIRD Cuniform writing on a white blanket A trail to the mirror, a trail to the water I drink from my image, smashed in circles shivering in the heat of my demand Slowly the pool turns black All of them have gone away, far away to the south But I, I decided to stay. I, the shadow in the haze Glance through the glas with a dark round eye There they are, raveling in warmth and company. On top of the roof over the chimney I try to steal some warmth but I just can't get close enough The haze is spreading through the room And the cold comes along All are gone, so far away. A//ard Krijger

Butterfly 04:02
BUTTERFLY This is the day of my life Dancing in circles Now that I have found you My life is complete Dawn is something That I never saw I never saw anything at all Because you fill my eyes With everything I need To see ... Dancing in circles Now that I have found you My life is complete Dusk is setting I can feel it now Feeling how everything just dies And I am going to Whatever I was Before Dancing in circles Now that I have found you My life is Complete. A//ard Krijger

STICK INSECT I want to be a tree Standing proud nearly touching the clouds That's how I want to be So I've changed my style Keeping strick to the diet I eat the leaves I am a thief, or worse, a parasite What am I hoping to achieve? Only a fraction of his height? Only a fraction of his might? What a beautifull sight To see I want to be a tree Standing strong wispering leaves like a song Stick my feet in the dirt Fingers high! Soon the leaves will grow!! A//ard Krijger

Cranefly 02:58
CRANEFLY My world Stops here Invisible Frontier Fly up Drop down With my legs stretched Green green there Sun and air Here there is nothing Exept a dusty barn With rusty tools I figured it out There is no garden It is just a Beautifull picture More real than life itself My world Is this Picture Of green sun and air Whish I was there In the picture A//ard Krijger

Fish 01:54
FISH Pressure tons and tons of water trying to squeeze me but I can take some more still I can take some more ... Blackness in fact there is no light no color no vision no sight but I can cast a shadow enough to make that subtle difference A current a stream a wave it seems A pushing a pulling a tearing a towing Over my head a light is growing PRESSURE! is beating through my vains Wobbeling Staggering Gangling along Ace in my head Pain in my back My belly beat to a jelly when I first encounter the sun A//ard Krijger

Fly 02:39
FLY Vertigo on the edge of a sunshade When I let go, wind embraces takes me away Away from that enormous glass of limonade Away from infinite sweetness! The sky is below the flowers above Everything looks so strange Hanging upside On the table awaits me that heavenly bath All I need to do just jumo and fly over ... Running figures on the ceiling while I run I suck it off There's no logic in my behaviour 'cause I don't know how to choose Without a will I move back outside the glass is waiting still It's much closer than before I can smell it from here vertigo on the edge of a longdrink when I lett go I'll be soaked I will drown And I'm not thirst, I'm not hungry whatsoever Anyway, I take my chance. A//ard Krijger

Vulture 02:41
VULTURE Life is such a cruel and ugly way of passing time It is truly not worth dying for, not yours, not mine. Yet everyone is fighting for their lives, killing to survive So making it a cruel and ugly way to live and die. I am waiting for death to come, so I can live. And it really comes so easy, why don't you live like me? A//ard Krijger
