scared top
then well have our rest and well start up tomorrow
i can tell youve been escaping monsters in your sleep
i can tell youve been skipping meals dying to eat
im not scared

but im not scared just afraid to meet myself
im not scared just afraid to lose myself
im not scared just afraid to meet myself

i ask YOU some things but i know YOU wont talk
someone said YOU were crying in the car last night
someone said YOU go to sleep too scared to turn of the light
im not scared
im not scared

but im not scared just afraid to meet myself
im not scared just afraid to lose myself
im not scared just afraid to meet myself
im not scared

but im not scared just afraid to meet myself
im not scared just afraid to lose myself
dont leave me here
dont leave me here
im not scared
dont leave me here
dont leave me here
dont leave me here


so gently top
she rubs her cheek against the pillowcase with an embrace
she is far away enjoying
she claims her sense of self is caught inside
amplified
waiting to burst so she tells me

is it all when i cry so gently
is it all when i cry so gently
everyone is lost in my heart heart heart

all YOU expressions come dance along
carry on
wave to the jerks in the audience
all of YOU insecure tendencies
bend your knees and bow
try now to make amends

is it all when i cry so gently
is it all when i cry so gently
everyone is lost in my heart heart heart


cant do anything about it top
theres a telephone call waiting for YOU
its from someone who wont tell his name
dont wait to answer or hell just decide to go
YOU cant afford to be slow its not ok
and i just don't know what its like to live one day
at a (out of) time but the issue here is not even that at all
its about time every moment is just slipping away from me

i cant do anything about it
i cant do anything about it
i cant do anything about it

someones been reading in the book about your life
and YOU didnt even know YOU had written one
now all the good pages are cut out with a knife
and only the boring parts are left undone
theres no more to life but a smile on your face
is it disgraceful to believe in that well theres no other place than right here
if YOU dont believe me read the ending of your book

cant do anything about it
YOU cant do anything about it
YOU cant do anything about it

YOU cant do anything about it
YOU cant do anything about it
YOU cant do anything about it


limelight top
open souls where they are means something to someone
at the end it doesnt carry them at all
in their hearts they will know that something must be wrong
in their minds it shows that something affects so long
it must be some reasons in time (in time)
reasons in time
limelight changes me
limelight makes me breed

just because its music now doesnt make it true
just because its music now doesnt make it true

sending out words without meaning means nothing to no one
if its true it is a lie for me and i
in their life they will see that words cannot hurt so bad
it must be some reasons in time (in time)
limelight changes me
limelight makes me breed

just because its music now doesnt make it true
just because its music now doesnt make it true

limelight light
limelight light
limelight light
limelight light
limelight light
limelight light


talk it out top
on their minds theres a soul theyre sharing
they think it will last a lifetime
sensations they happened every day
and talk like they did they will do it again

theyll be forever
talk it out
be forever
talk it out
talk it out
talk it out

theres a clown in your shoes, please stop acting
YOU think it will last a long long time
sensations they happened every day
talk like YOU did YOU will do it again

YOU will be forever
talk it out
be forever
talk it out
i dont know why they go i dont know why they are sad
believe it

be forever
talk it out
be it will last a long long time
be forever
talk it out
talk it out
talk it out

i believe turning turning
i think it will last for a long long time


lost sincerity top
have YOU heard it yet
the song of lost sincerity
it will look YOU up i bet
and bring you to captivity

nothing will ever be the same
show no anger feel no shame

is it playing yet
the song of lost sincerity
it will look YOU up I bet
and bring you to captivity

nothing will ever be the same
show no anger feel no shame

nothing will ever be the same
show no anger feel no shame


never song top
did YOU lie did YOU know will i see YOU again
(the door was closed he will never go home)
time to leave time to waste time to leave this lovely place
(now its too late to return to the place YOU belong)
never stop look back a memorial day for me
(and whats the future like for YOU)
keep wondering on YOU wont regret it at all

theres no going back forever theres no going back ever
theres no going back forever theres no going back ever

i believe my life has been worse than it seemed
(indeed youre right youd better go home)
never stopped looked back i thought it was clear
(clear is one word that you never will comprehend)
and here there is my past
(his tale is told too many times and he found his way into the dark)

theres no going back forever theres no going back ever
theres no going back forever theres no going back ever

did YOU lie did YOU know will YOU see me again
(all doors stay closed i felt you come home)
time to lose time to waste time to see me again
(anger is so hard to calm never stopped at all)
never stopped i feel like to go
(im like a lion in here)
scars from the gracious and dreams i was makes me recall

theres no going back forever theres no going back ever
theres no going back forever theres no going back ever


sad attempt top
undress me so dearly
i see it so clearly
your sad winter coat
like a body on the floor
allow me the feeling
your thoughts so concealing
intrude interfere
but i rather not go near

again a thing to store

ive seen it all before
a sad attempt to smile
in the corner of your eye

remember it always
remember it always
a dead winter coat
by the doorway had a closed

again a thing to store

ive seen it all before
a sad attempt to smile
ive seen it all before
a sad attempt to smile
in the corner of your eye
of your eye


all contrast gone top
on a crowded street YOU turn and look at me
whats the point YOU ask of collecting sadness
for the thousand time i fail to photograph your innocence
someone stops and says
there are not many things that attach to YOU

so my temper has been in the sun too long
all the colors bleached all the contrast gone
and the shades i wore are not there no more
so as others do
let me live though YOU
there are not many things that attach to YOU


too late top
theres a clear breeze inside
theres a storm but its all right
she smiles at me everything is too late
ive heard it all before everything is late
ive dreamed it all before
ive heard it all before
ive heard it all before

i want it all but its too late
everything is late
i want it all but its too late
everything is late
i want it all but its too late
i know shes alright
ive heard it all before

there are fake stars that lie about the magic white
they can line it up when everyone is bored
ive seen it all before everything is fake
ive seen her before on the other side of the road
ive seen her all alone
ive seen her all alone

i want it all but its too late
everything is late
i want it all but its too late
everything is late
i want it all but its too late
i know shes alright
ive seen her all alone

a curse is broken every day when i feel YOU in my mind
the picture of your face is breaking me alive
i want YOU to stay
i want YOU to stay
i want YOU to stay
i want YOU to stay
i want i want i want YOU to stay
(i want YOU to stay)

i want it all but its too late
everything is late
i want it all but its too late
everything is late
i want it all but its too late
i know shes alright
ive seen her all alone


creativity top
sunday
rotten
here i am somewhere
screaming and all this time
i wont even tell stories no more
i wont even walk slowly soon

monday
everybodys cars are broke
dont say it is on the words they choke
dont leave until the front door is locked
dont leave until the front door is locked

tuesday
pencils wont be found smile
and leave a fair reply
but i wont even sell philosophy
there is no more to tell about creativity
i wont i wont i wont i wont no no I want it now


broken tone top
in a delicate hour comes through a door with eyes that smile
she sits by a piano with one broken tone
flowers and feelings replies with no meanings and the scent of being fooled
wish there were times that I couldnt say anything but ive
been there before burning my eyes even more i cant say that ive
seen it before tracking down lies and whats more
its better here now
people are better here now
people are better here now
better here now

flowers and feelings replies with no meanings and the scent of being fooled
wish there were times that I couldnt say anything but ive
been there before burning my eyes even more i cant say that ive
seen it before tracking down lies and whats more its better here now
been there before burning my eyes (even more) i cant say that ive
seen it before tracking down lies and whats more
its better here now
people are better here now
people are better here now
better here now
someone
