Dying

You seem to be dying
But you don’t care
You don’t deny it
But here’s the thing
I got used to your presence around here
So I won’t let you get away with it
You do me wrong, you do me right
but mostly wrong
We’re both lonely souls
You got my back I got yours
You keep turning it down
But time’s running away now
You should be aware of that
And the time we've been together
It's been a blessing
Sometimes I wish it could last forever
Maybe buy a big house
And raise some kids who won't hate us
But we are still young, and we don't know
What the future will bring to us
Anyway it feels fine
to have a plan to dream of
You keep turning it down
But time’s running away now
You should be aware of that

The Shelves

I didn’t see none of these things coming, no
I always blind, and I didn’t mind
And now all the shelves are falling down
Everything’s a mess, I’d rather take a nap
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a button
To turn off your head?
When there’s too much wondering, you’re nearer to death
Things have lose their taste, the only thing real is the smell of your hair
You can’t just hide forever
How many things are you afraid of?
You can’t just wine forever
Though I know there’s a lot going on
And you can’t just wait forever
For someone that will might never come
Well you can’t just cry forever
That’s just not the way that things work
Nobody cares whether is not your fault
They want to move on
Confusion is surrounding me, as thick heavy fog
And then I all I want to do is hold on to your love
But who knows how long this can go on
I don’t need to know
You can’t just hide forever
How many things are you afraid of?
You can’t just wine forever
Though I know there’s a lot going on
And you can’t just wait forever
For someone that will might never come
Well you can’t just cry forever
That’s just not the way that things work
Nobody cares whether is not your fault
They want to move on

Low
04:04
|

|
I’m dumb and slow
I always feel certain low
I cannot longer stand the cold
Give me ten thousand jackets I need to feel cozy and warm
Why just can’t I flow like the river does?
Why does every step costs me like hell?
Would be easier just to be a little more like them.
All of them, they seem to be blessed
They seem to be perfectly balanced
Between heaven and hell
Oh they look neat
They seem to be doing just fine
It’s like they have received a magic recipe
Which instructions I could never follow
I think I’ve tried but I could never worked it out

Beware
02:55
|
|||
|
Beware
Cos every time something falls in to your hands
Something is already
slipping away through them
Oh my friend
While the sun shines in the east darkness is covering the west
where do I stand?
How utopic is the pursuit for balance?
One day it's heaven then it's hell
Why looking for the truth of life when it 'll never be revealed to us?
Get me there
To that point when you're not longer overwhelmed
by uncertain things
Coming ahead
How utopic is the pursuit for balance?
One day it's heaven then it's hell
Why looking for the truth of life when it 'll never be revealed to us?
Hold my hand
At the time you're the one who makes me care
Please don't leave me
Don't go away

Home

You know that feeling when you've been away too long
And the ones around you just make you feel alone
That's when you should stop and think
What am I doing here?
Is this the right place for me?
Wanna go home
And that is here around you
You're my walls
When you put your arms around me
And there's nothing I can see
When you're too far away from me
A friend once told me, you act like you're getting old
He couldn't understand I was calmed but not bored
I use to need to stay up all night to justify I was young
But got no peace of mind
Wanna go home
And that is here around you
You're my walls
When you put your arms around me
And there's nothing I can see
When you're too far away from me

You were gone
So long ago
Before we’d see you fall
And it hurts so bad I can hardly sleep at night
And it blew my mind
Ain't no safety ground
I can't forgive myself
Because I couldn't understand
I can't forgive myself
Because I knew that you are my mirror
Can't you see what you've done to me?
I'm afraid that you are my mirror
Can't you see?
What is like
To made up your mind
And leave it all behind?
Gotta’ recognize It crossed my mind once or twice, twice
Anyway somehow, I've managed to stick around
I can't forgive myself
Because I couldn't understand
I can't forgive myself
Because I looked away
I can't forgive my self
Because I knew that you're my mirror
Can't you see what you've done to me?
I'm afraid that you are my mirror
Can't you see?
Can't you see?

What Is Life?
03:40

What is life?
The whole existence blows up my mind
Something doesn't feels right
Most of the time
And why do I care?
It brings me down I can't help
And If I think about it everything's okay
But seems to be not enough for me
Loneliness arouses you
And doubt could be your closest friend
You got to figure out a way of not getting stuck in there
Before you show no signal of change.
What is life?
The whole existence blows my mind up
Something doesn't feels right
Most of the time, most of the time...
Loneliness arouses you
And doubt could be your closest friend
You got to figure out a way of not getting stuck in there
Before you show no signal of change and got nothing to say

Worried
02:38

I am worried
I am worried
Cos' I can't see what to do
And it's coming after you
I am worried
I am worried
Your big eyes turned out the blue
And I'm feeling like a fool
Turning into dust
Feeling like King Kong
Let your mind go wild
You're crazy you can't hide
I am worried
I am worried
The world is upside down
And I'm too selfish to fight
Turning into dust
Feeling like King Kong
Crying out loud the midnight
Burning in the sun
Let your mind go wild
You're crazy you can't hide
Let your mind go wild
And then you might taste
A piece of reality in your mouth
Cos it's hard to know where you're really standing
If you're in the moment or just pretending to be
Like the others human beings
But inside you something is broken

Murderer

I’m almost a murderer
I’m twisted, I’m sick
Can’t think properly
Can see things clearly
I’m getting blind due to shit
increasing as the days go by in my mind
Make an effort
Turn off your self destructor device.
Take a minute to look around
Take a deep breath
Stay calm
Sure there’s someone who loves you
And wants to stay by your side
But for you nothing’s never is enough
Beauty is walking slightly and slowly
As a white soft rabbit,
But you can’t see her, you’re way too blind
My life, the world
Is out of my control
Take a minute to look around
Take a deep breath
Stay calm
Sure there’s someone who loves you
And wants to stay by your side
But for you nothing’s never is enough
Beauty is walking slightly and slowly
It’s a pity you can’t see nothing
Oh..oh..oh..
Oh..oh..oh..
Oh..oh..oh..
Oh..oh..oh..
Oh..oh..oh..

Pray
02:08

I need strength
To cope with whatever I am
And live up to it
fearless and free
Free to say and do whatever I please
Cos the truth seems to be
the only thing can save you and make it feel real.
Oh someday
Someday I'll might take a deep breath
And won't feel the void
crunching my soul
As it's been doing for way too long
Nobody cares and it's not your fault
But to take the right path depends entirely on yours

Am I writing the same old song?
Am I ever going tell you that I'm done?
So much to think about, wanna shout
Can't trust in what I see
Is this reality or is it a dream?
I know what I know from TV
Walking around nothing makes sense
I won't conceive a lifetime feeling like a...
Living dead , just watching
Living dead, just watching my life fade away
I should be ashamed
I've sunk in the mud again
My thoughts won't let me be believe in myself
I think I’m cursed I think I’m possessed
Hey God could you please tell me why
You made us people who wonder
and need straight answers
When the truth
Is something
When the truth
Is something
we'll never got?
So ironic so fucked up
Won't be alone
Real, real love...
Won't be alone
Real, real love...
Won't be alone
Real, real love...
Won't be alone
Real, real love...

Anxiety

Anxiety
Is coming for you
And is coming for me too
But unless you realize
You're not here
To wonder why
Then you can lay down on the grass
With the one you love
With the one you love..
With the one you love..
With the one you love..
With the one you love...
With the one you love...
It seems to be all about that.
