laying siege on myself
for the tenth time just this week
yes, I tear at the walls
they crumble, they fall
brick by brick
and I know
to start anew
you have to destroy
cause from ruins
you lay foundantions
of something good
then break it
rebuild it
to make your life brighter then before

what the hell is wrong with me
I never seem to please
and I'm never right
but being lost is part of getting there
and I try so hard to do whats right
for you and me
but I'm always wrong
and being lost is part of getting there
when your heart is broken and you start rebuilding it
that's when you know what love is
it's not about devotion, it's a feeling
when it starts to feel forced is when you should bail
my brain it never stops
and neither does the clock
but it's alright
it always hurts a little bit
my brain it neves stops
and neither does the clock
but it's ok
the last time i'm gonna bleed
what the hell is wrong with me
I never seem to please
and I try so hard to do what's right
for you and me

emotional flatlining
03:16
|
|||
|
close your eyes
count to ten
everything is where you left
it never changed
or even moved
everything is quite the same
I ask myself why my senses are so numb
and in my core I know that I am so dull
hard to feel love, most days I feel nothing at all
the only emotion i'm in touch is sadness after all

to my surprise
03:04
|

searching for a glimmer of light
past my bedtime
what's your advice?
try being positive through the day
put it on display
don't overanalyze
some tales have no heroes
only people in the dark
to my surprise
I'm seeking for my way at life
please don't delay
fill me in your take
try doing everything in your grasp
be overjoyed
share it with your friends
some tales have no heroes
only people in the dark
to my surprise
opportunity is always dangling in your face
please take it, please take it
no one is gonna take it for you
there's nothing wrong in not knowing what to do
you can make it, you can make it
you just have to make your first move

anxiety
04:16
|

|
it's like she's singing inside your head
except she doesn't know how it goes
she keeps humming out so loud
just gibberish, there's no lyrics at all
she doesn't let you concentrate
you can't even do what you love the most
why does it have to be this way?
bad feelings refusing to go away
your brain is melting, your mouth is dry
clock is ticking but time won't pass you by
now you're reliving traumatic sights
and the emptiness starts to flood your heart
and when you feel let down, anxiety
feeling her cold embrace, anxiety
she's always there for you, anxiety

not good enough
03:48
|

to do anything for you
even the things I don't wanna do
to sacrifice my hapiness
just to put a smile on your face
when I was a young boy
thought that this was called love
but now I know that's not right
you have to fight for, everything you wanna do
and the other person has to
stand by your side no matter what, not try to fuck it up
try to remember when I used to be the one
that made you smile,
do your remember when we sang songs laying on our bed?
so fucking tired of not being good enough
you never praised the things I did
the songs I wrote and my playlists
and I stopped playing with all my friends
because you did not like
to not be on the spotlight,
feeling like my sidekick
but now I know that's not right
I should be the one who's on the leading role of
my life, even though it made me
feel like shit, I could just curl up in a ball and die
try to remember when I used to be the one
that made you smile,
do your remember when we sang songs laying on our bed?
so fucking tired of not being good enough
try to remember when I used to be the one
that made you smile,
do your remember when we sang songs laying on our bed?
when I was the one that made you smile
when we sang songs laying on our bed
when you screwed dinner burning all the rice
I was there to comfort you
when you argueed with your dad and call me crying
I said it was ok, it was not your fault
spent the whole day trying to cheer you up and
I was there to comfort you
when you said I don't love you anymore
when you said I can't do this anymore
and called the next day full of regrets
I was there to comfort you
see? there's not an end for this foolish love
but not anymore, I guess I'm done
to think that I just wanted to feel loved and whole
but you're not here to comfort me
so fucking tired of not being good enough

temperature of tears

falling of leaves
unstoppable train of time
temperature of tears
only thing that keeps me warm
I knew it was the last time I'd see your face and your eyes
and that is the reason I couldn't stop me from crying
it's my disguise
I'll serenade you with lies
may we rest in piece
so long, my dearest
I knew it was the last time I'd see your face and your eyes
and that is the reason I couldn't stop me from crying
I knew it was time to leave it all behind
but that we both knew, it shouldn't come out as a surprise

self-medication
03:58
|
|||
|
I'm lost in thoughts
against my will
i'm scared, confused
about how I feel
I need a brand new vice to calm me down
I'm gonna be fine
I sing about it all the time
but now i'm not convinced
that I can be better
seems impossible to me
I've always been grumpy
always been sad
Why can't I have something that makes me feel glad?
why can't I be happy?
I torture myself
It's so hard to be me
I'll try to be somebody else
And what's the point of finding grace
when all I've got to show is fake?
2 times of 3 you see me smile
it's not the truth
I chug another one
just another one
I need a little more
I'm sorry, I can't take anymore
I've always been grumpy
always been sad
Why can't I have something that makes me feel glad?
why can't I be happy?
I torture myself
It's so hard to be me
I'll try to be somebody else

silver winds

sleeping 18 hours a day
yet i'm still tired anyway
don't recall leaving my room
won't let you ruin my gloom
do you remember yesterday?
I lied
that everything was A-ok
inside
I'm afraid of the walls
out there I hear the rain fall
I don't trust no one
you better leave me alone
do you remember yesterday?
I lied
that everything was A-ok
inside
and I can't seem to forgive
things I said, things I did
what hurts me the most
feeling like I don't have a choice
do you remember yesterday?
I lied
that everything was A-ok
inside
and maybe in the end it won't
subside
and silver winds will blow me to
demise
