Hat in hand like a child that hides in his mother's skirt Delicate and solitary You taught me not to draw those cynical conclusions And give in to hate Now you've become some obnoxious asshole Eating your words with a side of bitterness A match and gasoline A heart of plasticine with no concerns
2.
Many times I've been angry, out of my mind Instead of letting things go or let them be Many times I've retraced steps out of memory And it always led me here Uncertainty Reasonable doubt Losing a battle to the world Dreaming about a million miles Waiting and cutting circles in a perfect line I can see you really don’t understand me But I had no doubt that we would see it through Can’t believe you would call me the enemy But now it seems to me it ain't so sad Our falling out This is my letter to the world Figure it out A million miles, a million smiles, a million times Waiting and cutting circles in a perfect line I won’t stay, you can’t save this empty lie anyway It is not of your concern what I’ve lost and what I’ve learned

Magnitogorsk 02:49
She is the space behind the mountain She is the face that’s long forgotten She wants an answer that's not a lie Without the pressure, without saying goodbye Like her childhood painting on the wall Nearly straight Like a bully playing the victim in an empty mall The rats will own this town Nobody needs to be read the writing on the wall They won’t hear the call Nobody knows about your broken heart or where it’s from They see nothing wrong Beyond the mountain Feeding the magnet to the ground Beyond the mountain Your heart still breaks without a sound Nobody needs to be read the writing on the wall They won’t hear the call Nobody knows about your broken heart or where it’s from They see nothing wrong

Gemini 03:14
Sidewalk covered in her heavy tears and no one noticing Billboard sign overhead that reads “now or never” Can’t remember when this thing was full of possibilities Fucking anxiety spreading like a cancer The sight of your face is too sickening When we both try to move on with our lives Your game was rigged from the beginning And i could never cheat your house He’s losing hope - she won’t forget The perfect illusion of promises He holds this grudge - she won’t forgive No resolution, no second chances Leave it to them to give this lie one more round She moved on and watched as everything around fell into place Living a life of illusions As she carefully ignored the signs of failure All the things she’ll never know All the care he failed to show Wrong place and wrong time Simple as that Pathetic liars Hate to say i told you so In the end you got what you deserve

Samurai 03:24
We went south across the river Nothing really mattered Bumper cars, cheap beers and chasers Every night that summer We were told our best years would go fast So make a point to waste them your own way We shut up cause the Fifth Element is on Up all night we’re powering on We’re spending everything we’ve got, on the run Now the thing’s on my mind Where would I be now if I didn’t have you to confide in every day? Another round to jolt my memory Lost at sea, hopeless till the end Like that kid from 99 Growing old and growing down Till he was found We came home ready for winter Nothing lasts forever Bumper cars, cheap beers and chasers Every night that summer If this place is messing with your head Forget your disillusions You can pick up the phone And simply call me We shut up cause the Fifth Element is on Up all night we’re powering on We’re spending everything we’ve got, on the run Now the thing’s on my mind Where would I be now if I didn’t have you to confide in every day? Another round to jolt my memory Lost at sea, hopeless till the end Like that kid from 99 Growing old and growing down Till he was found Till I break down We’re old and wiser with no fucking answers Without the same rage nor the time now

When the make-up is gone, the clothes have come undone Can't stand looking at myself in the mirror I just have to be her, forget to remember That what's wrong with me is simply that my body hates me Each day I keep hoping for miracles My reflection stays the same I hide alone inside this cubicle Nobody can help me but myself This place is only for losers I guess I really belong here Each day I keep hoping for miracles My reflection stays the same Cutting deep, the skin is unbreakable Replaced by a shell of misery Just never mind her, she's just a wannabe And all along you thought she led you on Don't have the balls to stick around for her My body hates me and I can't find A way to end this suffering I've been told that I need to unwind And to enjoy life but I won't settle down For the same endless search for your forgiveness

Save Me 02:51

Looper 04:31
The room looks better in the dark like every night Walls no longer closing in Demons keeping away from me A fool in the dark without purpose, aim, or bearing A look in the eye that wonders why Never really had trust in light, it’s all too bright Figure of authority There should be more people like me More fools in the dark without movement, goals or ideas The look in our eyes just wonders why When every thought comes under scrutiny My actions will betray my instability Give me some time or turn your back on me I will not remember the way i used to feel The room sounds better with a fight We realized we could not make it better Letting go's never that easy We're fools in the dark without love, trust or compassion The truth in our eyes don't wonder why We can carry on, you set the tone You lead the way and turn me off I had enough, I’m choking on the words that made it all so tough There's a voice inside my head and its song is meaningless Playing on and on until every note is wrong
