Fine

Can someone with more emotion
Understand that we can be pressured
To perform just like one another
When the cards are stacked
A never ending trip to the ocean
Tending furiously to our flesh wounds
I’d prefer if we’d be more honest
And just call it what it is
And I’ll just say I’m fine
you know i’ll say I’m fine
I, you know I’ll say I’m fine
Please handle me like a leper
And deny my fierce accusations
There is more filth left in this world
Than what I can sustain
I’ll pledge allegiance to the unspoken
Break bread only with my opponents
Make amends with those who despise me
And it’s all to make it fun
And I’ll just say I’m fine
you know i’ll say I’m fine
I, you know I’ll say I’m fine
Fine, you know i’ll say I’m fine
Fine, you know i’ll say I’m fine
Fine, you know i’ll say I’m fine
I, I’ll always say I’m fine

Our Secret World
05:01
|
|||
|
We sought each other’s warmth
Beneath the starry sky above
Trapped in a web of arms
We hoped that night would never die
I couldn’t take the pain
Of all our world crumbling apart
I kept away your fears
There’s nothing more I could have done
Wish I could ride the time
To get us back when we were fine
To stay another day
In our secret world or I’ll
Just fade away
I’ll just fade away
I will fade away
And I just wrote a song
About our secret world so I
Can get you there tonight
To lay together one last time
And I just wrote a song
About our secret love
Tonight we’ll run away
Come back, you know it’s not too late
Wish I thought of it all
When all that mattered was a word
Now life has run its course
Our world lives only in this song
And it’ll fade away
It will fade away
And we’ll fade away
And I just wrote a song
About our secret world so I
Can get you there tonight
To lay together one last time
And I just wrote a song
About our secret love
Tonight we’ll run away
Come back, you know it’s not too late

All Because Of You
06:06
|
|||
|
I don’t know
What happens when we die
It seems that all
That matters will survive
And I hate
To deny myself a chance
Because of you
So I’ll run
Far away and far from you
All because of you
I feel that I
Had all the perfect cards
To play this hand
With no chance to lose out
But instead
I just waited for the cards to play themselves
While the game came to a sudden bitter end
Cause I’ve spent so much more than I thought it’d be worth
So this time I gave up before reaching my goal
I just want you to know that no matter what comes
I’ll be still looking out for you too
All because of you
Time to hold
Myself to my own lies
It feels like all
That’s left is crumbling down
And I hope
That you’ll know I’ve done it all
Because of you
Or better yet,
I’ve done it all in spite of you
Cause I’ve spent so much more than I thought it’d be worth
So this time I gave up before reaching my goal
I just want you to know that no matter what comes
I’ll be still looking out for you too

All Right
05:04

Pick up your clothes
And walk out in shame, she’s coming home
Don’t make a peep
Move fast down the hall, I hear her steps
These are the rules
Abide by them all and we will be good
It may feel wrong
But I can assure you I will be yours
You said “all right”
Don’t call at home
She might pick it up, it’s not my house
But when I call
Don’t you ever waste my precious time
These are the rules
We can keep it up as long as we want
Don’t make a fuss
I know what you want, quite soon I’ll be yours
You said “all right”

Even Though
05:04

All the world can brag over my defeat
Even though i came to this life unseen
Freshly cut and dried from a plastic bin
With this helpless pout i’d just like to win
Even though i am
All that i can eat (even though i see)
Hold my spot and wait till i find a seat
All the world has got to decide for me
I won’t win this race but i’ve got to see
If there’s only one perfect place to fill
Even though i am
Even though i see
I’ll be late today, i need time to kill
With this swollen mind i am just too real
Woven in my web of some fake ass silk
Desperate for a gust of supportive wind
Even though i am
Even though i see
These lies are the only thing
That I listen to
And I thought that you would believe in me
And I think you should
Hold my tongue in place, i can feel it split
Through the weight of lies i cannot repeat
Deeper in my soul there’s a light i feel
But it’s dark as fuck when i take a peek
Even though i am
All that i can dream
Deep within myself there’s a world i fear
Filled with buried lies and forgotten tears
Even though I’m blind to this sort of things
You can be my eyes, i can be your,,,
Deep within myself i could not believe
How a single choice shaped so much my will
Even though I live and I can still breathe
Will you be my lungs while I shout at...
Sitting in this chair with a dim light lit
Reading through the lines of the life i lived
I can see the road i have failed to pick
Longer, wider but with no room for wit
I just thought i am
All that i can

It Seems To Me
02:48
|
|||
|
Sometimes you hear a story
About a man that no one knew
But that time he was there with me
I didn’t ask him anything
He just started talking free
“It seems It seems to me that I
Lived a long and wonderful life
Lived enough to find
That despite our lack of time
And our narrow cone of sight
Maybe there’s a reason why
We like to be so blind”
He stopped his words abruptly
And looked at me with humid eyes
While his voice now came through so strong
I was a witness to his mind
As it kept unraveling free
“It seems It seems to me that I
Lived a long and wonderful life
Lived enough to find
That despite our lack of time
And our narrow cone of sight
Maybe there’s a reason why
We like to see the sun
After long and wonderful nights
Dark enough to find
That however dim the light
And how precious is our time
There’s no reason to deny
Our life can be so bright"
Nobody else could hear your words
Nobody else was there for your
Last goodbye

Help Me
04:29
|

Hold my Hand while I fall down
Without a Net to break my fall
I stopped believing in my thoughts
When I found Out they were my own
And all right then
Can’t you help me
I’m all right but I feel like
I’m not crazy
I lost my voice while I screamed out
Hold me tightly
Mark my words when I say I
Can’t live like this, yeah
I still Stumble over words
To get them out in the right order
And I’m Scared to catch the world
Judge me for how i was born
So please tell me
Can’t you help me
I’m all right but i feel like
I’m not crazy
I lost my voice while I screamed out
Hold me tightly
Mark my words when I say I
Can’t live like this, yeah
I’m wrong, they’re right, once more, I die
If you want I can try to hold back the inner voice that’s telling me to lie
I don’t want the world to see me frightened so I’ll pretend there’s nothing wrong with me
Can’t you see that no matter what it takes
My mind will run if it cannot find the brakes
I’ll have to fight or forever have to kiss
My life goodbye as I wither down and die
Can’t you help me
I’m all right but i feel like
I’m not crazy
I lost my voice while I screamed out
Hold me tightly
Mark my words when I say I
Can’t live like this, yeah

War
07:15
|

|
They were friends, they were just three young soldiers
All of them with families, kids and wives
Working hard to pay the bills from overseas
They were sent to die for no just cause
They’ll never see the fleeting day again
Their whole lives were burnt in one foul night
All of them became their countries’ heroes
But no one ever knew the truth, just lies
And then
They woke up one night and war was there
Fire rained
Like hell just erupted from the earth
They were lying on the ground together
Still alive but with not much time left
They tried to grasp the inner sense of all of this
But everything now faded fast to dark
Still around them was the sound of a battlefield
Guns ablazing, bombs and louder cries
The combat medics rushed to them with agony
And carried them inside a makeshift tent
And then
They woke up that night for one last time
Fire rained
Like hell just erupted from the earth
And then
Their families got told “they died for you”
As if their sacrifice was enough for war

To Say Goodbye
06:25
|
|||
|
You came into my life
Soothing all my fears with your pretty lies
You came into my life
And made no sound when you forgot
To say goodbye
You came into my life
Then everything lost all its might
You came into my life
Wading through the storm to remind me there is a chance we’ll see the sun
You came into my life
Like a cannon ball ripping through the hull of this mess I used to call heart
You came into my life
Then you turned around and declared there’s got to be something better than pride
There’s no time
To say goodbye
Now you step out of line and never come back
you look on the bright side but you forget
you must go
you must go
you must go
And then everyone else will step in your tracks
To spite you enough and make you regret
You forgot
You forgot
You forgot
To say goodbye

Agonizing
04:53
|
|||
|
Agonizing, fantasizing
Watching from afar I could not
Stop it if i wanted I just
sat there while it happened, it was
Torture pure and simple
I could mingle but instead I tried to
Drink it down like water
Wash it over, like it meant the world for
Both of us depending on the answer to a simple question
You and I
You and I
I could have
Died I surely tried to mask some
Lies with my desires, I soon stopped
Hoping I must hold it till the
Scent of ash reveals my inner
Fire it’s required only
When outside is pouring down on
Everyone is joking
And I’m losing my composure right when
All seems lost
They’re walking down the aisle as we watch them hold hands
You and I
No more time
I forgot to smile while everyone
Sat there pretending it was
Fine I’m losing, I’m not brooding
That’s what i get for postponing
Life
I forgot to smile while everyone
Sat there pretending it was
Fine I’m losing, I’m not brooding
That’s what i get for postponing
Life, it sucks but I am tough
Remember I was there no matter
What you wanted, I provided
Shelter for your thoughts and held your
Hand throughout the night while shooting
Stars fell down and danced above us both
