I lie awake with you on my mind.
How shall I punish you
for your crimes?
Will a kick be enough?
No, I want to kill you
the way you killed me.
Slowly and then
all at once.

I painted each star in the sky
to remind myself of
each boy I have loved.
Now I paint the last star in the sky
with the hope I will never forget you.
That the memory of you
will forever stay in my mind,
and the feel of your touch
will stay printed on my skin.
As I paint the last star in the sky.
all the others fade away
until that’s only you left.
- Ris
I thought of you this morning,
but that’s nothing new.
I speak your name often in the dark,
just so I won’t feel so alone.
My memories of you
are nothing but pictures in frames.
God, I miss the way you
spoke my name.
Like it was your favorite word to say.
You will be forever in my heart,
but will I be in yours?
- Ris
The ashes of my heart
lies on the ground.
How can I love again
with no heart?
When all there’s left
is smoke?
The ashes of my heart
blows away with the wind.
I tried to save it,
but I wasn’t fast enough.
Now I’m just a girl
with nothing left.
No heart, no you.

I have a monster
inside my head.
But in the end don't we all have
a little monster inside ourselves?
A monster there's sometimes
takes over and set things straight.
There takes over your mind and
makes you doubt your own sanity.
But is this monster so bad to have?
What will happen to us if it disappear?
Will we become naive and trust
every lie we hear?
So we need this monster near.
It might make us doubt,
but, in the end it also
helps us.
/ Ris
Your love can't heal my broken mind.
But you can take my hand
as I sob my heart out.
You can stroke my hair
as my world crashes down.
You can love me,
when I'm impossible.
You can stay,
when I scream for you to leave.
I'm not asking you to
take every inch of my pain.
Only for you to stay
and love me.
It won't be pretty, there will be
times where you want to leave.
When my bad days comes and
you see no way of helping me.
But I swear to you, I might be a wreck.
I might look more death than alive.
But in end, it will be worth it.
So, please stay.
- Ris
Hush, love.
It won't hurt if you keep still.
Remember you asked for this.
You hurt me, love.
So you must pay the price.
Now, It might sting a bit.
Don't beg, love.
It doesn't suit your pretty lips.
Instead scream for mercy.
Ready, love?
Now the final has come.
Let me hear your highest tone.
- Ris
I have spent years in silence
afraid to say something wrong.
I wanna scream what's in my broken heart.
The silence it's too lonely for me.
I just wanna shout my feelings
out in the top of my unused lungs.
I feel like a machine, doing the
things I have been told to do.
But I'm human, can't you see?
I pack my things and
walk out the door without a word.
After all, silence is all you taught me.
- Ris
Meet me at midnight,
by the lake of ice.
Come and dance with me,
to the sound of nature.
Let's lie down and count
the shiny stars.
Take my hand and make
a wish to the shooting star.

I may have a Monster
I may have a monster
inside my head.
But in the end don't we have
a little monster inside ourselves?
A monster there's sometimes
takes over and set things straight.
There takes over your mind and
makes you doubt your own sanity.
But is this monster so bad to have?
What will happen to us if it's gone?
Will we become naive and trust
every lie we hear?
So we need this monster near.
It might make us doubt,
but it keep us sane as well.
So, I guess it knows what it's doing.
