she was imploring me think of all we will both regret remember these sweet moments that we used to share if you can't feel grace in any illusion you'll never be able to love any one yr eyes lost their sparkles yr love hurts & darkens i needed us to last but now i have lost our track tell me where yr soul's lurking & why winter gives no hope to spring let me light the way for you & lead us to somewhere new she was crying think of all we could've tried to build let our beautiful memories set yr gloomy soul at ease look now my tears turn to a torrential rain please honey in the name of love just give us one last chance it's like i'm seeing you thru a haze it's like you're losing yr own shape yr flesh is cotton lace you no longer fill yr own space tell me where yr heart's been buried tell me who stole it from me tell me why the fuck i was mistaken i never mistook hell for heaven no sparkle in my eyes not a tear shed for those lies nothing is eternal those who rise they always fall no word i'd like to scream no reason to care for what i've been no paradise in me there's no place left for yr dreams

there's no way to win when you are yr worst enemy now that you know what i have been what can you expect from me maybe i'm going too fast or i've already gone too far but i will love you to the last i can't live with no heart there's too much to lose that's why i cherish time when i spend it with you instead of wasting mine fearing what i'm going thru for loving you this way oh what a price to pay you say the wait prepares for pain & leads to pleasure in the end life without you kills like a mourning & love's not a lonely feeling i've got too much to lose so i only cherish time when i spend it with you instead of wasting mine fearing what i'm going thru for loving you this way while you keep me at arm's length all what you never tell & what i don't dare what you never share all what i can't guess oh what silence reveals what words conceal what makes me ill wounds i can't heal all my mistakes i'm digging my own grave
5.
i've had war with yr recollection for ages now it seems like trying to find you back didn't get me anywhere what do i have left but this sullen life what have i become you had no right to disappear without trace where are you when my blue turns to black when you're not around i'm out of existence i'm just a wreck i've got yr name engraved on the heart my whole life between yr legs love was sweetness & sweat i didn't give a shit about what would come next or what life could be instead but since you've been gone i've even lost sight of who i'd always been where are you when my blue turns to black when you're not around i'm out of existence i'm just a wreck where are you when my blue turns to black when you're not around i'm out of existence i'm just a wreck

holy thoughts nestled in yr skull & yr heart yr soiled banner so many people no one's expecting you yr own body the only playground you've ever known too old to be born so late too lonely to feel isolated no use shouting yrself hoarse no link with the outer world uh morpheus is gnashing his teeth dreams just disclose all yr unconfessed longings oh what a choice that noise or mutism's heavy promises well silence is just no cradle for yr peace older than yr ancestors each second weighs a ton homeland rhymes with nothing homeland just means nothing yr brain burns you're getting closer to this the more you're scared the less you understand & all yr speeches bear out this strange belief the voice of reason echoes the words of someone else anything for a helping hand for anyone holding yr deserted hand but no light straight in the eye don't you look at me straight in the eye

she's a queen in a class of her own no one like her around & the way she gives herself up to nothing but loving you bathed in moonlight blurring yr vision though out of sight she'll never fall into oblivion it's not love you feel it's slavery for real cuz she stole yr sleep when licking yr lips no respite love's a fight & she's the hunter & she's so much stronger than you will ever be as long as you'll hear her humming da da da da da & still as far as you can remember ain't it a shame you were doomed to failure you've tried so hard to turn yr back on her by everytime you just came back to her now you can't manage without her around now it's way too late yr heart caught you unaware so you're bound to her forever da da da da da you're not worth a thing when she's dancing you're not worth a thing before yr queen

thousands of thorns scratch my skin hundreds of nails slash my face my backward life just makes you grin you won't allow me any rest i'm on a slippery slope cuz my life's what you breathe into me so don't you ever let me grow as old as my own age-old fears as my feverish dead ends as my recurring ruin nights as my reluctant desires as my great fateful deviance you're still crushing me with yr gaze another me's diving deep into yr eyes disarmed i recognize the one you would love at first sight you say hey change's like a bottomless pit i'd better try to drag myself out of it & i can't fail cuz trying will teach you say trying will teach like a scratch will itch you say i trust in immutable love baby change's like a death to me i'm a common grave to myself too many corpses you'll never bless too many feverish dead ends & recurring ruin nights & reluctant desires yeah still this great fateful deviance dare say it's not becuz of you dare claim you never wanted it you placed the ball & chain round my foot & i should've had to put up with it no more feverish dead ends no more recurring ruin nights no more reluctant desires freedom's my life's mating dance i'll always change that's all i can do let's start with living without you no one will ever hold me back except the girl whose heart beats like mine

Guts 04:22
don't know why my wounds improve yr pain wonder why you talk to me again tell me why i should read between the lines & why truth's always more agonizing than lies every tear of mine eats into yr guts every scream of mine splits yr chest open don't know why you'd save me from myself wonder why there's this smile on yr face tell me why you've just never let me down coz you know i'd be much freeer on my own every tear of mine eats into yr guts every scream of mine splits yr chest open why d'you have to cry for me you'll never soothe my existence why are you always dying in my presence every tear of mine eats into yr guts every scream of mine splits yr chest open why d'you think you're good for me yr faith won't help any of us i see you crack till you burst & who's guilty well i'm guilty

firefleyes 03:31
i have been told see life like what it is i have been taught not to believe in dreams i must admit i never really understood what these words meant at all so i skipped every similar step just to test to shift for myself just to build a cool world of my own a place to call home one foot in the gutter one foot in the clouds some say one's worth the other but i'd rather stay high one foot in the gutter one foot in the clouds waiting for both to leave the ground still enslaved by their traditions which don't reflect my pale reflection i will struggle like the very devil until i can take off let me come out of these quicksands & be someone at least to myself help me build a cool world of my own & you will be welcome one foot in the gutter one foot in the clouds some say one's worth the other but i do need to stay high one foot in the gutter one foot in the clouds waiting for both to leave the ground i'll let the light invade my mind & see life thru firefleyes getting lost in the skies brighter than the moon at night seeing life thru firefleyes spark a fire in my mind
12.
i've just called yr name a thousand times but don't think i'm insane i'm just sad sometimes i envy you & yr great escape & the life you chose coz mine is such a waste i was yours before you softly led the way why would i've asked for more why would i've asked for less allmighty memories now the future makes me laugh now i'm only walking towards nothing at all coz you just lit the fuse then you just left me bruised can't say you let me down coz you're still everywhere interfering with thoughts with which you've no concern & oh yr sweet poison is slowly taking effect oh what an execution to fall into yr grip coz you just lit the fuse then you just left me bruised & now i curse you my love & i hate the one i've become & i'm colliding with a wall now that i know i'm not the chosen one

youth 04:51
nausea & stomach pain i've thrown up my old age again it was so easy back then youth's always been underrated i can't help looking at the other side at the scattered marks & signs a broken dream it is the other side oh the other it's only scratches only bruises a kid's stories no bandages it's just memories the life i've been living the way i've felt things no bandages saddened soul & tears shed i'm still mourning my helplessness every breath leads to the grave i only learned how to regret so frail & fast i belong to the past this body of mine's but a corpse the good old days just ripped me apart then i got lost it's more than scratches more than bruises it's a kid's trophies no bandages mausoleum & screams the life i've been wasting the way i've screwed up things no bandages all the scratches all the bruises a kid's fantasy no bandages incurably ill all the lives i've missed no happy ending no bandages

revol 06:57
all my life packed in boxes all that's left's a ghost my heart can't beat any longer since you broke it all i've lost went away with you all my dreams & hopes wrapped in these boxes now i'm left struggling to live without you does it even make sense i'm not thinking straight hey i gotta clear my head in a little while maybe i'll be wise but i don't know why memories hurt so bad & i'm on fire loneliness drives me mad one last kiss to feel how much it hurts how i dearly miss yr laugh & yr lips & yr world though it ain't gonna help oh i miss happiness i'm not thinking straight yr cross is mine to bear there's this hole in my chest can't let love slip away i'm not thinking straight drain yr blood from my veins there's this hole in my chest can't let love slip away
