people go and they don't come back
who's in charge of your kind?
if you'll leave it would be too bad
thought you were my mind
but if you come and have me
i'll be your favorite person
come show me all in detail
teach me my favorite lesson
(love)
i don't think we can control
watching how we build up walls
put my measures to a voodoo doll
how you like to bust my balls
well so do i
but if you come and have me
i'll be your favorite person
come show me all in detail
teach me my favorite lesson
then
when you try to change me
i dare to call you crazy
i am depressed, not lazy
i only need to be loved...

Bookshopping

we are so proud we cannot hide it
we are profound, you can't deny it
the roads we walk on are bad
we talk in language that's dead...
we are so rich within our hearts
we turn to books and depart
today i'm staying in bed...
bookshopping, bookshopping
it's a wonderful thing
bookshopping, bookshopping
i wanna get everything
and i am not mad, but this world is not for me
me and you and poets feel this way
our heads are so loud
get off your cloud!
today i'm playing outside...
bookshopping, bookshopping
it's a wonderful thing
bookshopping, bookshopping
i wanna get everything
and i am not mad, it's just the weight of the world on me
you must pay to be free...
once i stood up for you, now i cannot stand you...

It's Like Magic
03:04

i've been deceived for a long, long time
i've been waiting everyday
i'm so wrong
i cannot find the way
and though i tried the way
i've been let down
it's like magic
it's like magic on your lips
when you say
"i told you once before
i'll tell you once again
it's in the stars"...
i'm feeling ill, this is my last goodbye
i feel heavy, like this gun
feel so right
i cannot find the way
and though i tried the way
i've been let down
it's like magic
it's like magic on my tongue
it's like magic
it's like magic on my tongue
and you say
"i knew something was wrong
i thought you wanted to be alone"
well if you knew something was wrong
i hope you know that it's written in the stars...

he was just a little boy
thought that i was his toy
then he passed me over
now i just can't get over him
and i can't go over there
'cause that place still haunts me
i, i don't wanna talk right now
i don't wanna talk right now
andy wanna fight me...
he was just a little boy
but i was much smaller
and i stood much as i could
but it took much longer
kill the lights, say goodnight
give you something you could write
i don't wanna watch right now
i don't wanna watch right now
andy wanna fight me
andy wanna fight me
andy wanna fight me
andy wanna fight me
andy wanna kill me
andy wanna kill me
andy wanna kill me...

you used to say
that all the things
need time to heal
but i don't feel like i've been getting by
only regretting time
that hasn't passed so fast
over and over
you're taking cover
the fire ran out again
growing colder
as we grow older
i'm doing all i can...
fading away...
silence please
i'm on my knees
don't know how it came to this
i stepped inside
too far, too deep
i fell apart
i fell asleep...

Your Head Is My Island
03:59
|
|||
|
your memory's faded
away from the sun
and body is playing dead
when brain's having fun
remind you of someone
too lost to remember
that he is long gone...
the drugs you've bought sold ya
your mama don't know ya
and in catatonia
you need me to blow ya
and if you hear silence
and whether i'm violent
your head is my island...
i wanna switch places oh
oh, take it off me
oh, take it over mine
with every thought of you, feel like i know you
oh, take it off me
oh, take it over mine
and i won't feel a thing
and i'll do it again
and i won't feel a thing
and i'll do it again
and i'll be there for you
will you be there for me?
and i'll make you come true
what will you do to me?
i'm too tired to sing
and i don't know anything
i don't know anything...

Inside of Me
04:48
|
|||
|
i've been wasting my years yeah
half my life i'm going nowhere
nothing better to do than killing
time is almost over
you want to give it all
you find it magical
so the more that i get
i feed the starving and the hopeless
i wish i could forget
the day i left behind my conscious
i think i'm breaking down...
i have seen this place before
take me back to where i'm from
inside of me
there's no reason for it
i just throw it all away
come up with a better excuse
for another day
and in my thoughts i drown
i think i'm breaking down
i looked at the newspaper, forgot the date
the hour, i was waiting in a bus stop
for someone to have me
now i'm sitting in my tin can
major tom to ground control:
i don't know if you can hear me, would you understand at all?
i can hear the hyenas coming
i can smell the blood i summoned
falling from the sky like every promise broken with a lie
all i ever wanted was to be someone, a person
but i've locked myself and lost the key
now all i do is waste inside of me

i feel like it's getting colder
can i put my head on your shoulder,
can you tell me everything's gonna be alright?
i feel like it's getting colder
i think i'm turning sober
i think about you all the time
i know it isn't true when you tell me that you love me
i know it isn't true when you say that you love me
i know it isn't true when you tell me that you love me
i know, i know it's just a lie
'cause love it ain't grand, love is a heartache
you fall in love for the first time
you fall into an endless highway
then you run out of gas and your tires are flat
and you lose of all hope for someone to get you somewhere...
'cause love it ain't grand, love is a heartache
you fall in love for the first time
you fall into an endless highway
then you run out of luck and your mind is off the track
and you lose of all hope for someone to get you somewhere... safe

"Life Is a Gift"
02:00

|
they will never understand me but they will underestimate me
that is the truth
they will never amuse me but they will try and abuse me
that is the truth
"life is a gift" that's what they're saying
i don't think they are right at all
"you're only 18, you will understand one day
you're wrong and all"...
"life is a gift" that's what they're selling
i don't think they are right at all
"you're only 18, you will understand one day
you're wrong and all"...
