My heart remembers never has a memory fault
Only when I see you it skips a beat
It has its reasons when it does this thing, like mine
Wish it will become true, it's oh so real
It won't surrender, never has and will not do
Even if you want it to, it's meant to be
You're so tender I don't want to wait to fuse,
It's exciting and new and oh so pure
If I came close what would you do
My heart is more than just a fool
I have to hold it to be true
It's like a child who's lost in time
And left all rational behind
Now I wonder, will it maybe tell me why
I've been feeling so light, I'm flying high
It's never random, always knew the right thing to do
We should listen with care and make a move
Unlike a flower, it only opens up to few
Sweet and heavenly like a sugar rush
It's full of power never ending love machine
Are you ready to feel alive with me
If I came close what would you do
My heart is more than just a fool
I have to hold it to be true
It's like a child who's lost in time
And left all rational behind

How long have I been on this lay low
Never wanted light from the get-go
Now will have to grow from the shadow
Inside all of the time
Seeking balance to find out about why
Loving to the bone
Need to overcome my moan
Cannot wait to be free
Gonna let it loose and just be me
Finally
D just my real name and the rest you can find
Out on your own
G one of two I carry with me
Didn't you know
Curiosity had me go on
Wanted to explore other ways more
Trying with a fine sense of art
Too long I couldn't fly
Barely made it so I'm able to drive
Had it long before
Only couldn't show it all
Cannot wait to be free
Gonna let it loose and just be me
Finally
D just my real name and the rest you can find
Out on your own
G one of two I carry with me
Didn't you know

It's my way to make sense of it all
Just to feel a part of it that's all
I really mean it
I wanna love life and lie on the floor
Maybe make my mind travel once more
I'm not against it
I wanna make this world a better place
Maybe if i make you feel embraced
I will defend it
Putting all the superficial piffle aside
We're the same made of water and bones
Smile at each other
In hope that my wish comes true
Will it be just myself and me
Or we maybe
Feeding of my hope for change i grow
Even if it hides sometimes i know
I really need it
I wanna give back every time i take
Every single one should do the same
Time to revive it
I wanna love life every single day
Make it so im never by myself
Now i can see it
Putting all the superficial piffle aside
We're the same made of water and bones
Smile at each other
In hope that my wish come true

Tough Enough

Looking down the barrel of the devil's gun
Nothing left to mangle of an honest man
No need to hide what I'm made of
Mama and Papa did a great job here
Every little stone I step on is a try
I keep going on
Every little bit of me is gonna try
Until I am no more
Never lost my faith
In this massive maze
Let them bury me
They don't know I'm a seed
I am tough enough to re-survive
All that crap they like to throw at me
Slow and steady growth, holds up much longer
Even though it's harder to achieve
Every little stone I step on is a try
I keep going on
Every little bit of me is gonna try
Until I am no more
Never lost my faith
In this massive maze
Let them bury me
They don't know I'm a seed

Dive & Drown

I can feel the heavy weight
On your soul after the break
Nothing seems to take it away
If you're hurt right to the core
Open up a little more
Never let the pain guide you wrong
I can feel the heavy weight
On your soul after the break
Nothing seems to take it away
If you're hurt right to the core
Open up a little more
Never let the pain guide you wrong
Tears are flowing down your face
Light comes to life in unusual ways
Try to be bright, don't fight while you burn
Hear me out and make headway
Love comes to life on unusual days
You gonna like what you get in return
I want to see you grow
Not on your ego throne
Maybe you want to come down
Me and my fam don't play
We got you all the way
No need to dive in and drown
When you guide your mind to golden state
You can be more than yourself and change
Beauty can be found where you don't see
Just align your head and heart to see
I can feel the heavy weight
On your soul after the break
Nothing seems to take it away
If you're hurt right to the core
Open up a little more
Never let the pain guide you wrong
Tears are flowing down your face
Light comes to life in unusual ways
Try to be bright, don't fight while you burn
Hear me out and make headway
Love comes to life on unusual days
You gonna like what you get in return
I want to see you grow
Not on your ego throne
Maybe you want to come down
Me and my fam don't play
We got you all the way
No need to dive in and drown
When you guide your mind to golden state
You can be more than yourself and change

I don't fear to fail and learn
Although I know it might not work out
I just have to trust my gut and feed my curiosity
Money is not worth the crime
Why not try to make it work my way
It may seem to be blue-eyed
Maybe like a child but it's healing brew
Don't say I told you so
Don't kick me while I'm down
You know it doesn't help
Tell me something I don't know
Life's a bumpy ride
Life's a bumpy ride
Life's a bumpy ride
Life's a bumpy ride
I don't want to just repeat you
So I try to find my own way
Might take longer, i have no doubt
Feels real good to free my mind though
Honey is not worth the crime
Why not try to save another bee
Many ways to live your life
It's bumpy ride, might not be for you
Don't say I told you so
Don't kick me while I'm down
You know it doesn't help
Tell me something I don't know
Life's a bumpy ride
Life's a bumpy ride
Life's a bumpy ride
Life's a bumpy ride

Come look at the sun and smile, it's free
Breathe and let the air make you feel good
Let my poetry and picture be a feature in your dream
All you really need is something sweet
I'm sending out love from me to you
Just want you to know
I'm sending out love from me to you
Just want you to know
I am melting close to your skin
My heart's taken, warm and gentle
I am grateful, you enable, I am floating
How you are is who you are to me
When I play with you, I want to lose
Love is what you give and life is what you get back in return
Your belief in me is what I need
I'm sending out love from me to you
Just want you to know
I'm sending out love from me to you
Just want you to know
I am melting close to your skin
My heart's taken, warm and gentle
I am grateful, you enable, I am floating

Hello My Friend

Hello, my friend from the other side of the river
Hello, my friend from the other side of the mirror
Can you see me waving
Can you see me craving
Old fear cannot see new things
I will judge you by your heart
We don't have time, time has us
Why do we think we're different
Sometimes you love, sometimes you learn
To translate doesn't mean to understand
Hello, my friend from the other side of the river
Hello, my friend from the other side of the mirror
Can you see me waving
Can you see me craving
I don't really know you, but I'm curious
Smile at the future when you see it
People at war with themselves, not knowing what against
Appearing together but lonely
You gonna find, when you're not looking
Be kind, be warm, be gentle
Hello, my friend from the other side of the river
Hello, my friend from the other side of the mirror
Can you see me waving
Can you see me craving

Simple Man

When I came down the light I was mad about the preacher
Giving everyone hope only to become a rich man
When I came down the light I saw greed and destruction
Sounds about right have you seen the late eruptions
I'm you, I'm everyone, I'm no-one
I'm a simple man with doubts and concerns
I carry anger disappointment just like you
And have to bite my lips over this madness too
I'm you, I'm everyone, I'm no-one
I'm a simple man with doubts and concerns
I carry anger disappointment just like you
And have to bite my lips over this madness too
When I hear about the world being run by some mad man
Giving everyone hope only to become a rich man
I just wish I could be more than Me in my own right
Watch a man grow bigger than his own two problems
Why do we not just change it all
I guess we just feel way too small
Stop looking at the mirror and look inside
I'm you, I'm everyone, I'm no-one
I'm a simple man with doubts and concerns
I carry anger disappointment just like you
And have to bite my lips over this madness too
I'm you, I'm everyone, I'm no-one
I'm a simple man with doubts and concerns
I carry anger disappointment just like you
And have to bite my lips over this madness too
Why do we not just change it all
I guess we just feel way too small
Stop looking at the mirror and look inside

Can't be brave without some fear
That's why I'm still here
Even though I sometimes wish I could just disappear
Mostly I just want to lay low
I like to observe it even more
Took a while to find my way and a loving bae
Got my spirit up to sharpen while I grind away
I can feel it happening now
Wanna see it growing even more
When I get around okay
Usually something gets in my way
When I get around okay
I wanna keep it to be this way
I keep ma head high, my head high
Ma head high, my head up high
Ma head high, my head up high
Ma head up and high
Let your guard down
Put on your crown
Feel good deep down
Don't look face down
Can't be brave without some fear
That's why I'm still here
Even though I sometimes wish I could just disappear
Mostly I just want to lay low
I like to observe it even more
Took a while to find my way and a loving bae
Got my spirit up to sharpen while I grind away
I can feel it happening now
Wanna see it growing even more
When I get around okay
Usually something gets in my way
When I get around okay
I wanna keep it to be this way
I keep ma head high, my head high
Ma head high, my head up high
Ma head high, my head up high
Ma head up and high
Let your guard down
Put on your crown
Feel good deep down
Don't look face down

Hey girl, I care for you
Hey girl, I care for you
Baby, I just love to be around you, it feels real good
Maybe we can go into the woods and live together
All I need to function is a little vitamin you
Smiling at the sun and feeling carefree altogether
Hey girl, I care for you
Hey girl, I care for you
When I'm with you, there is no time just before and after
You are sugar curiosity and summer rain
Now that I can feel you, I remember how to float
Finally, I know exactly what I have to do
Hey girl, I care for you
Hey girl, I care for you

Ride With Me

Why you want to be different
I just want to be me
Life is too short to be vain now
Have you found your way
I don't need any wasters to avoid me just in time
Maybe you fit by my side
Ride with me, die with me
Don't fool around
Come along with an open mind
Ride with me, die with me
Don't fool around
Come along with an open mind
Be here now, not there then and hold on till the end of the road
Whenever you're in danger
Or you don't get by
No need to blame your creator
Never walk away
Just know I am a believer
I'll be here for you, my friend
You should say goodbye and ride
Ride with me, die with me
Don't fool around
Come along with an open mind
Ride with me, die with me
Don't fool around
Come along with an open mind
We keep on riding
Until we break down

Dirg Gerner
Dirg Gerner is a lover, a vulnerable observer, and an artist who’s managed to create an effective interface with an ever- accelerating world. He may appear mysterious and media-shy; but when it comes to vocalising, he’s a raw, uncut soul-element. Unintentionally off-grid and committed to his personal evolution, he is more of a soul- documentarian than a singer-songwriter. ... more
