Private Confessions & Clumsy Poetry

Þú komst við hjartað í mér Á diskó bar, ég dansaði frá sirka tólf til sjö Við hittumst þar með hjörtun okkar brotin bæði tvö Ég var að leita að ást Var að leita að ást Og þegar þú komst inn í líf mitt breyttist ég Þú komst, þú komst við hjartað í mér Ég þori að mæta hverju sem er Þú komst, þú komst við hjartað í mér Það er munur á að vera einn og vera einmana Ég gat ei meir, var dauðþreyttur á sál og líkama Ég var að leita að ást Var að leita að ást Og þegar þú komst inn í líf mitt breyttist ég Þú komst, þú komst við hjartað í mér Ég þori að mæta hverju sem er Þú komst, þú komst við hjartað í mér Ó sem betur fer... Og sem betur fer, sem betur fer þá fann ég þig hér Og sem betur fer, sem betur fer þá fann ég þig hér Á diskó bar, ég dansaði frá sirka tólf til sjö Við hittumst þar með hjörtun okkar brotin bæði tvö

Ástarstjarna yfir Litla Hrauni Það er nýr dagur, nýtt ljós Sólin fyllir klefann Og ást mín streymir til þín Hún streymir til þín Því brýt ég hlekki hugans Og fleygi mér í faðm þinn Hoppa yfir hliðið Þýt um þröngan farveg Hitti þig við læk einn Eða litla kaffistofu Ég stend í klefa mínum Og stari út í tómið Og ást mín streymir til þín Hún streymir til þín Sem lækur út í lífið Stjörnur hlæja á himni Í vökunni, þú kemur til mín Og ást þín streymir til mín Hún streymir til mín

Skammdegisóður Hringlaga árstíðir dansa við gróðurinn Og dimman er nothæf sem dagurinn Samt fagna ég vetrinum, sólhvítri birtunni sem syndir um skammdegið Og gefur sig dimmunni Dreginn sem dröfn inn í trjákvoðu draumanna Laufkvikar sýnir lýsa upp svefnrofann Ég stytti mér leið framhjá dauðanum Eilífðin blasir við svefninum

Hjá Guði 02:53
Hjá Guði Í Guðs þögn ég orðlaus uni Einskis krefst ég, þarf né bið Heiðir geimar, himnesk dögun Heilög ást mér brosir við Í guðs kærleik hug ég hvíli Hjartans leyni einn hann sér Barnsins traust er allt sem á ég Allt sem væntir hann af mér Í Guðs anda andað fæ ég Öll mín þrá og von fær svar Heilög andrá endurskapar Allt sem verður, er og var Í Guðs hjarta á ég heima Eilíft þar er nafn mitt skráð Undur lífs míns, allar gátur Upplýsir hans föður náð

What‘s wrong with me? Mine eyes now see the glory in the simplest things The shape of your eyes Or a glimpse of your thighs My eyes now hear your name in every song I sing When surrounded by noise All I hear is your voice Oh lord tell me please... What‘s wrong with me? Struck down by a disease What‘s wrong with me? I feel weak in the knees What‘s wrong with me? What‘s wrong with me? I‘m emotional and fragile So you could bring me on the brink of despair With just a flick of your hair Oh lord tell me please... What‘s wrong with me? Struck down by a disease What‘s wrong with me? I feel weak in the knees What‘s wrong with me? What‘s wrong with me?

Selfish you The Sunday morning call Sobbing while you suck on your cigarette You tell me ‘bout it allt How you haven‘t found love yet Well, if I‘m the best friend you‘ve ever had Then why do you only call me when you‘re sad? On Saturday nights I feel like a kid who‘s been disowned While someone holds you tight My heart sinks like a stone ‘cause while you‘re having fun, I feel alone And conveniently you‘ve turned off your phone
7.
A moth to a flame I‘m a dog in heat Prowling the dead end streets I‘ve got a date tonight With my guilt, under a red light I‘ll cry and beg Between her legs ‘cause I am drawn to what makes me feel ashamed Like a moth to a flame The girl provides Everything I‘ve been denied I‘ll pay to see her strip To plant a kiss upon her lips And I will pay To hear her say: “I am drawn to you and your sexy frame Like a moth to a flame” I‘ve set my heart and soul on fire In her bed We‘re on fire In her bed I‘ve made mistakes And just like a car without brakes Speeding down a hill I won‘t stop and I never will A life of regret A russian roulette I am drawn to what could destroy my name Like a moth to a flame

Kill the King Baby, I will break his army down If you want me to, I will burn his house to the ground And if you want a little more I‘ll give you what you‘re asking for Baby, I will bring the king to his knees And hang him with the rope you gave to me And if you want to know for sure I‘ll hang his head on your door Sleep, I‘ll do my best Sleep, oh let my baby rest Because it‘s you I‘m fighting for I‘ll march unarmed into war
9.
I went to London I went to London to see Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and my daddy He met my mom during the war He had big brown eyes and a sexy uniform It may seem silly to be in search of someone Who abandoned me Oh but, now that I‘ve finally found him I‘m worried that he might not want me around I went to London to see Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and my daddy It didn‘t go as I‘d dreamed of But he said: “you remind me of the girl I used to love” And somehow that was enough
10.
The one you used to skip I fall in love every time I see you dance But I know you’d never give me a second glance For 15 years I’ve dreamed and fantasized about seeing my reflection in your sexy, light-brown, Bambi eyes I love your shoes but I hate your taste in men You’ll kiss a fool while ignoring your devoted fan It’s about time that you opened up the door To the one who can remember every single dress you ever wore I know that tonight’s a dream As you lie next to me This ain’t real, this can’t be true I know that tonight’s a dream Well, what else could it be But a fantasy I shouldn’t cling on to? And yet, I do ‘cause when I wake up in the morning I want to wake up next to you when I wake up in the morning I want to wake up next to you I know it’s false but I believe it anyway That sometime soon there just might come a day When the songs you used to love start to sound wrong And the one you used to skip becomes your favorite sing-along And when I wake up in the morning I want to wake up next to you when I wake up in the morning I want to wake up next to you

A moth to a flame I‘m a dog in heat Prowling the dead end streets I‘ve got a date tonight With my guilt, under a red light I‘ll cry and beg Between her legs ‘cause I am drawn to what makes me feel ashamed Like a moth to a flame The girl provides Everything I‘ve been denied I‘ll pay to see her strip To plant a kiss upon her lips And I will pay To hear her say: “I am drawn to you and your sexy frame Like a moth to a flame” I‘ve set my heart and soul on fire In her bed We‘re on fire In her bed I‘ve made mistakes And just like a car without brakes Speeding down a hill I won‘t stop and I never will A life of regret A russian roulette I am drawn to what could destroy my name Like a moth to a flame

The cruelty of girls I wish I could protect you from the world The monsters that await at every turn And the cruelty of girls But your heart will be broken Your heart will be broken I wish I could protect you from the schemes Of people who are double faced and mean Who‘ll try to kill your dreams But your heart will be broken Your heart will be broken Life can be rough and ruthless Just know, your daddy loves you so
