Conversations with the Mirror
Just stop, stop thinking
Everybody’s got problems and you never listen
Whatever is it that you think you are going through
It’s never as big as you think it might be
You’re reasons are stupid and you like to feel useless
But the truth is you’re just a deviant with a million excuses
Stop speaking your mind, cuz you’re mind’s a mess
you’ll do anything for pity and distress
Plastic highs and questionable lows
Don’t you feel shame when you put on your show
Just fucking stop, stop all this bullshit
Just do it alone, and not feel...

Mystery Misery
Another sleepless night heading my way
Another lonely night to think of you
Oh don’t you recognize when I look your way
Am I invisible to you
I see your drunken eyes in my daydreams
Still I can feel your voice caress my ears
The way you said my name with a whisper
As we threw away our fears
Mystery
you’re a mystery
you’re my mystery
misery yeahh
misery yeahh
Oh and I just don’t have the courage to tell you
To tell you personally what I really want
So I write this song In hopes it would reach you ...

This guilty feeling
I’ve been thinking a lot lately
Of why I should speak my words
I just can’t find the reason
everything’s just blurred
Unhealthy melancholy drills through my head
I’m tired and lonely, why do I feel this dread?
I’m surrounded by friends and family whom I love
And yet everything feels like the dying of a dove
I feel sick to the stomach of what I came to be
A neurotic self-indulgent in a world filled with glee
stuck inside a daydream or a nightmare of sorts
I’m watching myself limping, as I lock all the doors
...

AL’S GOODBYE
people light their own candles
to survive the cold dark night
stuck inside our hidden temples
waiting for a burst of light
wont go out, there is trouble everywhere
afraid of breathing in the toxic air
the heart stops whenever it listens
to the voices inside my head
wherever it takes me
ive lost all control
this future seems blurry
and i’ve got no hold
hold on to anything you’ve got
grab on to whatever’s left of your still beating heart
forgive me so for the times that i forgot
as I close my eyes, I...

Back then
I woke up to the pitter-patter of the rain
A morning show on tv, No classes yet again
The sweet sound the rice would make as the salt and garlic mix
An innocent look inside the mirror, As the light in my eyes would fix
I sit in front of the TV in my grandmother’s old room
use my feet as a remote, a lot of space to bloom
And sometimes I would lie, lie down on the floor
As I watched Cartoon network, nickelodeon and more
Oh how simple life used to be
One big accomplishment, would be climbing up a tree ...
