Grey
The raging ocean
bashing up against the rocks
a cold grey sky...
havent seen it in ages
I'm heading there...
waiting for a day in the sun, waiting...
The ocean grey, the rain lifts my mood.
the sun isn't blinding, and the ground doesnt burn my feet,
I wanted out for how many years?
now I dont want to leave.
I'm scared.
all the familiar sights,
what will it be like without these mountains
locking me in?
what will seem like?
all these people,
bonds have never been strong,
people I like all...
bashing up against the rocks
a cold grey sky...
havent seen it in ages
I'm heading there...
waiting for a day in the sun, waiting...
The ocean grey, the rain lifts my mood.
the sun isn't blinding, and the ground doesnt burn my feet,
I wanted out for how many years?
now I dont want to leave.
I'm scared.
all the familiar sights,
what will it be like without these mountains
locking me in?
what will seem like?
all these people,
bonds have never been strong,
people I like all...

Hey...
take me away from this place
I don't want to be here,
I don't know who to believe
I dont know what to do.
feel like screaming,
feel like running away.
so many things I'm feeling, so many useless tears...
the pain I'm giving myself.
I self indulge in memories of you...
I block it all out.
pretend I can't read the law
pretend I can't understand reality.
Take me away
just run away with me,
just like a fantasy
save me.
I dont want to be here
I dont want this
I don't want it
Don't...
I don't want to be here,
I don't know who to believe
I dont know what to do.
feel like screaming,
feel like running away.
so many things I'm feeling, so many useless tears...
the pain I'm giving myself.
I self indulge in memories of you...
I block it all out.
pretend I can't read the law
pretend I can't understand reality.
Take me away
just run away with me,
just like a fantasy
save me.
I dont want to be here
I dont want this
I don't want it
Don't...

Confused
I'm not sure what I'm doing anymore...
All seems like a blur
who am I?
who will I be?
getting drunk all alone in my room.
I have a million promises...
what am doing?
what am I doing?
Can hardly type, can hardly think...
Reliving old habits
Rereading new old pages in that same book...
I'm confused.
I'm so confused and I don't know why,
same taste in my mouth, feel like I could just sleep a million years.
I don't know what I'm doing anymore...
All seems like a blur
who am I?
who will I be?
getting drunk all alone in my room.
I have a million promises...
what am doing?
what am I doing?
Can hardly type, can hardly think...
Reliving old habits
Rereading new old pages in that same book...
I'm confused.
I'm so confused and I don't know why,
same taste in my mouth, feel like I could just sleep a million years.
I don't know what I'm doing anymore...

You
sitting on my bed.
been pacing the room...
waiting for the clock.
heart racing,
wondering what to do ...
it is exactly time,
I wait a few seconds...
I have your number, right here on the screen.
my thumb is resting on the send button.
close my eyes tight
and press the gleaming bright icon.
...feel the texture.
the ringing penetrates my ears.
once, twice,
...I take a breath,
I calm down...
a third time.
...I won't have to face you yet...
a click.
I hear...
been pacing the room...
waiting for the clock.
heart racing,
wondering what to do ...
it is exactly time,
I wait a few seconds...
I have your number, right here on the screen.
my thumb is resting on the send button.
close my eyes tight
and press the gleaming bright icon.
...feel the texture.
the ringing penetrates my ears.
once, twice,
...I take a breath,
I calm down...
a third time.
...I won't have to face you yet...

old tastes
everything I have done,
everything I did.
my moods, my different faces...
my different voices.
everything we did...
every cold winter,
sweaty summer.
...seems like a million years.
I grab your hand and have one last dance...
let's sing along
to this old song
let's throw out our pride,
get rid of this pitty party.
burn everything else...
dance to our old tastes
and leave ourselves behind.
everything we did...
all of our different...
everything I did.
my moods, my different faces...
my different voices.
everything we did...
every cold winter,
sweaty summer.
...seems like a million years.
I grab your hand and have one last dance...

Get Better Soon
Get Better soon
get better...
I'll save you, I'll take care of you...
I'll take care of you...
running nose,
tears falling from my eyes...
ten years old or so...
how many minutes later?
A few hours?
rushed to hospital,
call someone...
I slept through it ...
wake up to any other day
brothers across me...
hug from my mother
unreal feeling, everyone is crying..
We were supposed to live forever...
gullable little girl lived by your words.
candy when...
get better...
I'll save you, I'll take care of you...
I'll take care of you...
running nose,
tears falling from my eyes...
ten years old or so...
how many minutes later?

A Million Views!
Hey there, Why don't you snap a picture?
there is dead corpse right at your feet!
A big chance!
A million views!
a thousand flying corpses just gearing up for a photo shoot!
you want a video? Top picture in Google images?
Well hey...
A perfect chance is waiting for you!
Every damn day.
every single day
we see a million people die,
decomposing..
rotting.
maybe burnt?
every damn day..
labeled as top news
tons of views..
no time for tears?
you'll just snap a fucking picture.
A thousand...
there is dead corpse right at your feet!
A big chance!
A million views!

solution
I don't need your sympathy,
your half assed attempt
to cheer me up...
...you speak with no emotion at all
a caring voice...
I don't need it.
I don't want a fucking shoulder to cry on,
I don't want your: "I'm not alone"
...don't want it....
I want a solution,
a fucking solution.
I came for your help
still can't figure it out?
I don't want a hug, dont want your fake smile..
Don't want a pat on the shoulder, and an "everything is okay"
I don't need your attempt for my...
your half assed attempt
to cheer me up...
...you speak with no emotion at all
a caring voice...
I don't need it.
I don't want a fucking shoulder to cry on,
I don't want your: "I'm not alone"

Trap
I don't understand it,
who can I trust?
just who can trust me?
all these words drawing me in...
I'm wondering why
try to accept, try to put some faith,
in those people that I really want to care about
why do we always end up..
in a battle throwing out words...
as if they meant nothing.
throwing out a trap.
hold my my shaking hand up to my eyes,
so afraid still..
I'm wondering so many things,
what am I doing exactly,
right now?
can barely speak,
a look of...
who can I trust?
just who can trust me?
all these words drawing me in...
I'm wondering why
try to accept, try to put some faith,
in those people that I really want to care about
why do we always end up..
in a battle throwing out words...
as if they meant nothing.
throwing out a trap.

Try
I scream
see and say
do and don't
wonder what's real
suck it up and give it another
go,
I'm wondering
so many things
just battling in my head so many things
this path I can't seem to shake
if I can shout loud enough will you here?
if I scream will somebody understand?
...know crying is doing nothing now
I know I can't get the same help
gone too far...
now I don't know what I'm doing these things that I said
and I'm wondering what to do next
muffled sound in my ears
screams and screams and no silence...
I'm...
see and say
do and don't
wonder what's real
suck it up and give it another
go,
I'm wondering
so many things
just battling in my head so many things
this path I can't seem to shake

let's get out
take me beyond that hill,
show me what is there...
sometimes I scream and sometimes I laugh
these images,
these thoughts
the way I see,
the way I do.
take me beyond that hill...
let me run free
away from it all
sometimes I scream and sometimes I laugh
so much alike
take me beyond that hill,
show me what is there
let's get out of this
let's leave it all now
let's leave....
show me what is there...
sometimes I scream and sometimes I laugh
these images,
these thoughts
the way I see,
the way I do.
take me beyond that hill...
let me run free
away from it all
sometimes I scream and sometimes I laugh
so much alike
take me beyond that hill,
show me what is there
let's get out of this
let's leave it all now

Should have
grab my hand, grab my hand...
grab my fucking hand....
Why are you giving up so soon?
It just takes a minute maybe less,
one little "hey"...
grab my hand, we can close our eyes, see the world
that really is here,
close your eyes,
Why are you giving up so soon?
I'm just a phone call away, I'm just one little email away..
Why are you thinking no one will ever be with you until the end?
when I have always been trying,
why are you going to throw it all away,
when everything you have...
grab my fucking hand....
Why are you giving up so soon?
It just takes a minute maybe less,
one little "hey"...
grab my hand, we can close our eyes, see the world
that really is here,
close your eyes,
Why are you giving up so soon?
I'm just a phone call away, I'm just one little email away..
Why are you thinking no one will ever be with you until the end?
