Alone together

Try to focus on an empty door. Cause you never seem to stay, like before. I can’t live my life alone like them. Rather close my eyes, smile and pretend that I am yours, and you are mine. Take me back and I’ll forget all that’s true, the things you thought I knew. Take my hand and I’ll pretend that it’s true. I’ll hold my breath for you. Try to mend the things we’ve broken before. Falling down but I’m begging for more. I can’t feel you when you lie by my side. Alone together we’re faking a life where I am yours, and you are mine. Take me back and I’ll forget all that’s true, the things you thought I knew. Take my hand and I’ll pretend that it’s true. I’ll hold my breath for you.

Emotionless

With your fingers crossed you promise me your heart. And with broken nails you cover up the scars. I bite my tounge, forget all that is true. You stay with me, miles apart. Think of me when I’m gone. Two tries to spell my name, do you really know me? Two tries to play defense and no one wins in our team. You stay with me, miles apart. Think of me when I’m gone. Like emotionless poetry you’ll break what’s left in me.

Everything means nothing

Wake me when I’m older, I’m too young to see it through. Warm me when life gets colder, I’m too weak to be like you. Hold me ‘cause everything means nothing.  I’m in between, I’m losing me, my will to be. Pick me up. Kill me if I’m no one in your eyes, that’s where I live. Erase me, take the chalks back, or let me draw someone that’ll fit. Forget me ‘cause everything means nothing. I’m in between, I’m losing me, my will to be. Leave me down.

Fade

Turn out the dying lights and bow your head. Wake up to find the ones you treasure dead. A splinter in my mind, a distant call. A moment of borrowed peace before we fall. Fade the evening cold that keeps me warm, that leads me home to you. Invent another cure for my disease. An answer to the question no one sees. Fade the evening cold that keep me warm, that lead me home. And fade the morning sun that burns my eyes, that makes me blind. Leave me behind, let me sleep. You’re mine inside, and i’ll keep you so lead me home to you.

Fall before you

Can’t make a sound. I’m lost, my eyes on the ground. Too small to see where you are. Too close to cover the scars, to make me new. When I wake I’m asleep. When I look I can’t seem to see your eyes. A moment too far for me to know who you are. I’m standing still and you’re gone. I’m left with no one to hold, to make me new. When I wake I’m asleep. When I look I can’t seem to see your eyes. When I breathe I exhale. Try to stand when I fall before you. Falling for you.

From the heart

I once tried to close my eyes to forget I saw. And I tried not to speak to forget we talked. But you showed me where to start. Please tell me who you are, from the heart. I kissed you on Mother’s day while I waited for her. I traded the immaculate for a chance to hold you. ‘Cause you showed me where to start. Please tell me who you are, from the heart. Someday they’ll see that you showed me where to start, please tell me who you are. And when the lights went out you gave to me your life, and your heart.

Language

Seven feet to fall, I’m tracing all my steps, I’m standing on the edge with you. Dreaming of a place we’ll never see, the ones we’ll never be, the things we’ll never feel. When our shallow motors sped. Give me a second glance. A top view of the avalanche. A speechless language so I can say “I need you so”, Seven years to fall, and ten to get back up to see that everything’s messed up. A narrative remark on a scene that no one saw, that I hid in my heart. Where my shallow motor sped. Give me a second glance. A top view of the avalanche. A speechless language so I can say “I miss you so”. The moment slipped me by, and I was never told you only get one hand to hold.

Mistake

Standing on my childhood mistakes. The things I hid, you never knew. Never understood the rules that I’d break, trying to be the same as you. And I’m waiting for your life. Everybody’s so unique, I’m left with nothing I can keep. Standing in an open grave, I try to be the one you’d save. Push the breaks and make me forget. Turn the blinds and lead me through. Whisper in my ear that I’ll be ok when I grow up to be like you. And I’m waiting for your life. Everybody’s so unique, I’m left with nothing I can keep. Standing in an open grave, I try to be the one you’d save. Change me I’ll never mend. Take what you began to break. In the dream minutes passed like days, and I felt safe.

Now is then

Stand up and pay, it’s time to leave your worries behind. You never know where to stand, with your feet on the ground. No one can save you from yourself. You’re waiting for the day, when you will find your perfect life. It’s meant to be this way, when now is then. Drink up and pay, it’s time to leave your memories behind. Another mourning parade will beg you to smile. Another dream turns to debris. You’re waiting for the day, when you will find your perfect life. It’s meant to be this way. When now is then you’ll make a change.

Rocketeer

I would lie to tell the truth. I’d close my eyes if I’d see you. And if I were a rocketeer I would fly into your arms, fly into your arms. Mountains covered in gold and eyes filled with fake remorse. But if I were a drop of blood I would swim into your heart, swim into your heart. And if I were a southern wind I would blow into your lungs and let you fall into my arms.

Shimmering

Clean up your worn down panda eyes. Forget yourself and turn the blinds. Fall back in line, don’t mind, consume. Swallow the lie that awaits you. For the first time in your life you can see that you’re something else than the time between you and your grave. And the voices in your head that tell you that you’re wrong says that it’s better to belong. A shimmering life awaits you, and a perfect smile to hide the truth. The polished shoes and ironed suits will make sure there’s nothing left to lose. For the first time in your life you can see you’re something else that the time between you and your grave. And the memory of youself, that slowly fades away, says it’s better to betray. There’s nothing left of your old smile, nothing to relate to when you’re lead by blind. There’s nothing left of your warm touch, nothing left to hate. So your eyes go blind. And all the things that you made swear that I would keep slowly fades away.

Stapled

I was the last to know and the first to lose control. The only one who saw the truth behind the mould. You took my life, you left me cold. Your perfect smile, stapled to my eyes. Another lie to explain as you lead me to my grave. Another face to forget as the memory fades away. You took my life, you left me cold. Your perfect smile, stapled to my eyes.

Still inside

Rest your head in my arms like you always do. I’ll follow the line that I drew for you. You’re still inside, I’m half past you. I’m still behind and losing you. Rest your lies in my heart like I never knew. I’ll breathe the air that I gave to you. You’re still inside, I’m half past you. I’m still behind and losing you. Won’t you hold me close now, or just let me go. Don’t you know that it’s crazy that we never show. How can I be wrong when it feels so right? How can I stop waiting? You’re still inside, I’m half past you. I’m still behind and losing you. You steal my pride and all that’s true. You leave me blind.

The person that you see

Give me a second chance to smile, a reason to move on, a promise to belong. I’ll show you the map of my betrayals and the markings that I gave to me and no one else. You break my pride, but I don’t need your help to understand that I’m too plain to live. And all my wounds I have given myself cause it’s better to dig your own grave. Depend only on myself, cause no one’s on my side, cause no one wonders why I cut the cancer from my wrist. For the pain that keeps me safe, and my selfcontrol in place. You break my pride, but I don’t need your help to understand that I’m too plain to live. And all my wounds I have given myself cause it’s better to dig your own grave. Give me a second chance to live, a second chance to be the person that you see.

Who I am to me

A wasted day. A breath that’s lost won’t breath again. A teardrop, rain. A hope for something that won’t fade. I’ll take you there, forget myself and all the promises I gave. I’ll tie your noose, the velvet rope. I’ll cut my heart in two if someday you’ll see me. The morning breath that swallows yesterday. To you I were a dream, but now I’m me. I took you there, forgot myself and all the promises I made. I tied your noose, the veltet rope and broke my heart in two. But you never saw me. I’ll break you there so you won’t tell all the promises I gave. I’ll take your noose, the velvet rope. Make sure that no one knows who I am to me.
