Reaching out of Spite
02:21
|
|||
|
You walk like nobody can harm you
When you run you feel you're far behind
I feel a spark but I can't move it
I think I'm just reaching out of spite
No-one seems to mind your business
Feeling mesmerized, you won't come back
When I'm around you don't seem honest
So no-one will hear your cries at night

Your Messy Life
02:31
|
|||
|
I know it's bigger out here
It's not that long ago
You left the lawn behind
Your messy life is waiting for you
I call you back to hear you
Remember what it's like
Your heart is no good for me
But your voice will treat me fine
I hope my memory won't be right
I don't think I could reach you
To pass the time you slept
It's not like there's nothing to do
Desperately you try to ignore
When you're awake you run out
And find someone to please
Living for someone else is easier
than living your dream
You keep on giving until they get mean

Peeing in the Schoolyard
03:03
|
|||
|
We throw a tampon to the window of the grumpy old man
He holds the remote to his ear, pretends to call the police
And we laugh and run away
Make a new one wet and play
I'm peeing in the schoolyard when the dean opens the curtain
I ran as fast as I could, afraid he calls my parents
And I fall over the fence
After two hours they're still outside looking for me
We walk around the neighborhood looking for a victim
Then we're bored and we decide to climb on a rooftop
Then some women screamed at us
So we jumped and hurt our legs
We shoot the ball by accident into the teacher's backyard
He gets his knife and punctures it to show us that he's angry
And he shouts: 'That's the 22nd time!'
But my birthday's soon, so I'll just ask for a new one anyway

Walk Around Randomly
02:41
|
|||
|
Look around, see everything wrong
About what they do
They don't have a clue
Living in grief until they have
Somewhere to go
Then they don't know
When you walk around randomly
You'll never know where you want to be
But still it's better to have no idea
Than to live in a scene full of expectations

My Secrets on the Wall
02:28
|
|||
|
I put my secrets in a bag
No-one notices, just wait for them to ask
Did I talk and talk without listening at all?
Did I walk back and never know what it was?
What it was
I put my secrets on the wall
No-one notices and never will I show
Did I walk back and never return to you?
Did I hold it in like I always have done?
Did I speak up? Wouldn't you agree?
When you look at me I see you wondering why am I here
But I want to go where you are
I want to go where you are
And I want to know who you are
I want to know who you are

Always Went Your Way
02:29
|
|||
|
You are running back and forth
Trying to find out what you missed
But searching makes you sick
For the record, you've been told
You are angrier than most
The frustration keeps you closed
You're behaving like a child
Wanting attention when you fight
Overcompensating smile
And they talk behind your back
And they play with the facts
But you sure know more than that
When you got lost and tried to overdose
And when you're bored with so much to do
And when he's gone, no time for you
Always went your way
He wants to be part of your world
Meet your imaginary friends
Try to find what brings them there
You are influenced by something
That will never be revealed
But he's pushing for it still
Always trying to be sweet
But he don't know what you need
And he brings you down with him
No I do not care for that
Just want to be your friend
And help you where I can
When you get lost and try to overdose
And when you're bored with so much to do
And when he's gone, no time for you
Always went your way

Living in Your Zone
02:15
|
|||
|
You want to join
Adventures and go
We took the car
Just brought money and pot
Ironically
I never wanted to leave
Your company
Is worth more than being free
You turn to me
Say you need me here
That was a dream
But still true it seems
I don't care where we're driving
I'm living in your zone
I'm just here to pass the tame and
You're better off on your way

New Friends
02:05
|
|||
|
I saw you watching me, you were clearly shy
And I wanted you but soon I had enough
So I asked: 'Did it hurt you?'
Then you said: 'It made me happier than before'
Still you keep stressing out and avoiding me
Somehow you can't explain, but I'm seeing what you mean
So you went off and made some new friends
And I don't think I'll ever see your face again

Gravitating Powers
02:19
|
|||
|
Aiming for the kill
Trying to realize it's fake
Falling for the pills
When you fall short
It hurts your pride
You look to the world
All kinds of gravitating powers
You cant have a clue
Where you'll be pulled
So don't ask why
Wait for it to explain itself
Don't try
So you do your thing
People don't know your recipe
So patiently
You heal them up
And make them smile

Let You Flood
02:46
|
|||
|
I got nothing to live up to
And no-one's there to join
I got no place else to go to
When you call some-one did you wrong
I got no reason to get out
Everything is closed
I got no-one else to talk to
When you call I just let you flood
You're complaining about your roommates
There's no detail you missed
And the lies that your friends tell you
Are fucking with your head
And I think I'm here to listen
But I'm yawning as you talk
And I hope you handle on your own

Walking the Dog
02:16
|
|||
|
You're walking the dog smiling when
He is playing with the other dogs
They seem to be his friends
And you're talking, talking to everyone
About how you raise him, praise him, make him civilized
In the city you need to adapt
Where you used to live you could have just
Released him where you want
But now you're working, working every day
Yeah it's hard to escape when you need to get paid
You're never happy where you're at
One day you start to look around
Bored of what you have
So you're moving, moving every other year
And you take him with you as your loyal friend

Nothing on My Mind
02:20
|
|||
|
Romance, caught out
Showing my cards
Glowing in the dark
Absent
Pull me close and push a fight
Shoot again
Tell me what's wrong and try
To catch if I still hear you
Something on my mind
I grow colder the more I'm around you
You smiled at me when I zoned out
With nothing on my mind
Nothing on my mind
|

Wild Crumblings
02:29
|
|||
|
I wanted to be buffed
Since you answered I am tough
Better than I thought I could
Lights opened
You give in to the thrill
Never cautiously distrust
Either looking for a fight
Or isolating
When you bought a gun
I thought you finally gave in
Insanity inside your veins
Still haunted
You drive around for hours
Never following a trace
You travel lonely 'cause of pain
And wild crumblings
Did I tell you how much it meant to me?
Did I tell you how little I'm scared to see?
Did I tell you how much it's meant to be?
We would hang out now if I wouldn't try to help you

Embarrassment for You
02:25
|
|||
|
You want to meet someone who tries
To love you and joins your fight
But he's gone
Looking for someone who still smiles
Remembering what he said
Still have no clue what he meant
Turns out
He never wanted you for long
I got crazy in your maze
I want to join but I am late
Eyes closed
So I can hear better where to go
You are troubled with your grief
Never thought you'd turn on me
Now I
Just want embarrassment for you
