Mind, give me a break tonight
Another day alive
I can’t help but to think that I am running out of time
Again the noises are back
Just thinking that I’ll find
A reason not to die
Please let me
Restart life
Maybe now
I’ll have the balls to fight
The demons in my mind
Time, days have gone since light
Again the spark is lost
I get up to my day and wear this crown made up of dirt
Sweat and grind in vain
The fire’s in my brain
At night I hope that I can sleep
Please let me
Restart life
Maybe now
I’ll have the balls to fight
The demons in my mind
And I know that I might not cry
But it doesn’t mean I'm fine
I don't know how to be alive
In my mind
All the time
I want to
Restart life
In my mind
All the time
I want to
Restart life
Life
Maybe now
I’ll have the balls to fight
The demons in my mind
And I know that I might not cry
But it doesn’t mean I'm fine
I don't know how to be alive

Dream

It's getting harder to know
What's real or a dream
The memories are all mixed together
Like the seconds after sleep
A perfect life made for us
In no place together
We grew up but we stayed young
In innocence forever
With you I fall into my afterlife
It's too bright for this right I've wronged
You take me far
Away from here
Twenty years
With no fear
Then I awake alone again as before
A tourist in this life that I ignore
The present of being known
A future long since past
Dissociation pays
If you know it doesn't last
How will I love when I can't
Tell fact from fiction
Are these specters meant to be
My nightly addiction
Without you I fall into my afterlife
It's too late for this lie I know
You take me far
Away from here
Twenty years
With no fear
Then I awake alone again as before
A tourist in this life that I ignore
And I awake alone again and again
Is this to be my fantasy forever then

On Misery

I thought that you
Thought that you would understand
That I'm left
With no memories of love
Between you
And him the time has passed
Let it go
Your love is
But you know
That I will love you for who you really are
And I don't need you to change you did your best
No one's perfect and we're all fucked up inside
I will love you to the end and all this
Life and I miss you each day
Yet I distance myself
For reasons I can't say
Pretend that life is all okay
Yet I notice your pain
Please call me whenever you're not well again
You, you think that
I don't care at all
But I do
In fact I think of you
Every day
Your beautiful soul shines bright
In my heart
I feel you
But you know
That I will love you for who you really are
And I don't need you to change you did your best
No one's perfect and we're all fucked up inside
I will love you to the end and all this
Life and I miss you each day
Yet I distance myself
For reasons I can't say
Pretend that life is all okay
Yet I notice your pain
Please call me whenever you're not well again
In love
We lie
In love
We try
In love
We lie
This time
This time
In love
We try
To take care
One last time

Unfair

Torn apart
Knocked to the ground but
No turning back no turning back now
It isn’t fair
Never was but
You cannot return You cannot return to
That time when you
Never knew so
There’s no turning back no turning back
Forever falling in place
The spiral of shame is so addicting to taste
No sense as to why
You cannot despise all those years they made you waste
Let it die, drift until the waves here subside
Soothe your mind, you’ll have the strength to abide in the end
You’ll comprehend
But don’t pretend
Like it’s all you’ll ever be
Torn apart
Knocked to the ground but
No turning back no turning back now
It isn’t fair
Never was but
You cannot return You cannot return to
That time when you
Never knew so
There’s no turning back no turning back to
That place where you
Never grew but there’s
No turning back no turning back
You can hide away
Guessing the ways you’d be happier than today
An exhausting feat
You cannot repeat all those years they made you waste
Let it die, drift until the waves here subside
Soothe your mind, you’ll have the strength to abide in the end
You'll comprehend
But don't pretend
Like it's all you'll ever be
Torn apart
Knocked to the ground but
No turning back no turning back now
It isn’t fair
Never was but
You cannot return You cannot return to
That time when you
Never knew so
There’s no turning back no turning back
It wants you bad
Tries so hard but
You’ll never return. You’ll never return

This life
Goes up and down
All one
And yet I've found
All the pain
It’s never quite the same thing every night
All the love
A mountain of wrongs to right
It's all part of the same game
You and I came from the light that
In the end we all go back to
Let it go your life is passing by
Realize duality is
Part of the human experience
Good and bad are useful concepts
Just don't forget they need each other
This life
Has changed again
All one
I fear the end
All the pain
The smallest things seem to cause the hardest falls
All the love
It makes no sense at all
It's all part of the same game
You and I came from the light that
In the end we all go back to
Let it go your life is passing by
Free will is a funny illusion
We take it all so fucking seriously
You're in a game go play it
Find a dream and go get lost in it
Let's hold hands tonight
Love one another while this lasts
Let's find ourselves tonight
It's all the same
Hold one another until it's passed
A week of good might erase a year of shame
Let's hold hands tonight
It's all the same
Love one another while this lasts
A week of good might erase a year of shame
Let's find ourselves tonight

Everyone is in on it
I hear them laugh behind me
I've lied to just blend in
But I'm not alright
But there must be more for me
I wanna believe
I am alien
Take me from this earth
Show me what I'm worth
I am alien
Without a purpose
How can I believe
When I have no memories
They tell me I survived but I don't know
My mind might be wiped clean
To keep me in the scene
But what if I try to leave
Will I find
I'm asleep
I might be
I am alien
Take me from this earth
Show me what I'm worth
I am a sleeper cell
Wake me with a kiss
Show me what I've missed
I am an alien
What is my purpose
I am a sleeper cell
What is my purpose
I am so far from home
What is my purpose
I am an alien
Give me a purpose
