Mom
Let's cry
one more time
Before I fade into the night...
Is it a crime
To run away, to never go right?
Always go left,
My left is your right,
it makes no sense,
Mom.
Leave me alone, let me fight,
Before it's too late,
You’ll be alright,
I’m still not so great.
Give up it’s over.
There’s no sun,
Not for me.
I gotta run,
Run away.
Before it’s too late.
I’m sure you’ll be great.
Just let me,
Let me fade into the night.

How am I supposed to know?
The time when I’ve gone too far and dropped to low
Has come, though I feel just fine?
So how am I supposed to survive?
When I'd rather be dead than alive
Without being able to run away
To a place full of colors other than plain grey?
Birthday girl, what a shame,
All alone, far away
Echoes calling,
Calling my name,
Oh, let's forever stay.
I don't care if it's too late,
I think I lost my mind,
Now my soul is what I aim to find.

Alice, lost in Wonderland
365 days.
Now it seems all you can do
Is watch your life pass,
Slip away in front of you,
Desperately trying to break the glass,
The cage that you’ve caught yourself into.
Innocence.
Lost.
Alice?
Don’t you let your mind vanish.
Delusions.
When the threshold was crossed
And the door was shut,
You entered the world of illusions.
How are you not aware of the cost
you’ll have to pay in the future?
Wonderland.
Dreamworld, a place you created,
Your own piece of art,
Took the real one...

Sunk
Give me a bullet
For being so wrong,
So wrong thinking that
I'm invincible
And strong,
I never imagined my ship sinking,
Thought it was here where I belong.
The current so strong,
Can't swim back home.
It's been way too long
Since I fell off my throne.
No escape,
No way out,
I was wrong
Wanting to know
what that high was all about,
Thinking I was invincible,
Thinking I was strong.

What keeps you up at night,
Makes you feel okay,
Makes everything seem right
Is what's making you feel this way,
Turning you into what you fear the most,
No colors left, now you're just a ghost.

Paradise
Far away from reality
I found a paradise
Based on my own insanity
Under the influence of ice.
So high up in the sky
Hidden from those who can't fly.
The wind in my hair,
To nothing I can compare
This feeling, this lie.
Every high has its comedown,
It was too good to be true.
The sea of emptiness in which I would drown
Just to stop feeling so blue.
I'm lost in this paradise
Can't find a way out,
Standing on a thin ice,
Finally see what's it all about.
But it's too late

The truth
Funny it is how you used to say
That a lie so beautiful,
Insidiously killing you the sneaky way,
Makes you bleed more than the truth,
Deeply carved into your skin.
I see you're starting to see,
Just how easy it can be
To get lost in a world full of lies
You want to believe.
Time flies,
And the moment you realize
That you've lost the light inside your eyes,
May be too late to rise.
Don't you regret not thinking twice?
Was that high full of white lies
Worth walking on such thin ice?
As it breaks you fall into...

Lost myself
Playing, dancing, trying to touch the sky,
Living like there's no tomorrow.
Bruised knees, pigtails
And an awkward smile,
Where's that child now,
Where has she gone?
The outcast, weirdo, the ugly one?
I don't belong here, they must be right.
Who am I kidding, i know it's true,
Oh, when did I become so blue?
Worthless, such a disgrace,
Looking in the mirror, who are you?
Maybe I just need some space..
I'll slit my wrist again,
There's nothing else to do.
Where has gone that child
With a heart so big, who always...
