Living
I used to be so sure
Well I ain't anymore
That is the mark you burn in me
As sort of a receipt
I don't know what it is I'm giving
I don't know how you manage living
Alibis of every kind
Mind games no disguise
I'm going to buy me a black fur coat
And shades for indoor use
I don't know what it is I'm giving
I don't know how you manage living
I don't know what it's all about
you seem to care more for him
I don't want to bitch and wine
Bitches and wine is all I want
I don't know what it is I'm giving
I don't know how you manage living
I don't know what it's all about
you seem to care more for him
I don't know what it's all about
I seem to care more for you
I don't know what it is I'm giving
I don't know how you manage living
I don't know what it's all about
you seem to care more for him
I don't know what it's all about
I seem to care more for you

Fool me

This is a feeling I've been longing to give away
Even though I've got the habit to go and spray
But he keeps his feelings at home
puts them in a safe and pretends he likes to be alone
You can't fool me
I know everything
Yeah
Now what's the deal with you making me afraid
I always have to tell you I won't debate
We often find you with your eyes closed
Keeping it inside you is a funny way to overdose
You can't fool me
I know everything
Yeah
I've got words you can probably live without
About situations you already know about
And I begin to sound like a mother
But you don't bother to act like my daughter
Take the water
You can not cheer me up with a dead rose
Keeping it inside you is a funny way to overdose
You can't fool me
I know everything
Yeah

Through the blinds
03:11
|

Getting darker down the road
But you're being blinded
Feel the fire, feel the fire
From my open eyes
There isn't anywhere to go
once you start walking
And if I say let it go
I mean let it go
We're just waiting for crocodile
nobody needs another tiger
You are in danger out there
would you please stop trying
We can see right through the blinds
There's a wedding in your mind
And you want to be there
because everyone you don't know
Will be there to know
We're just waiting for crocodile
nobody needs another tiger
You are in danger out there
would you please stop trying
We can see right through the blinds
And if I say I don't know
I mean I don't know

Walking through a corn field
Nothing's going to bother me
I can see the cars from here
Nothing's going to bother me
With your twisted mind
With your twister mind
Twisted cows running around
Nothing's going to bother me
I can surf the clouds from here
Nothing's going to bother me
I don't want to walk
Two blocks away from home
Prisoner of the light
I can see the the church from here
With the mill the picture's right
I can see the church from here
With your twisted mind
With your twisted mind
I don't want to walk
Two blocks away from home

Love ain't on our side
02:43
|

|
Am I in love now?
Nothing's clear to me
Since you are you and I'm me
Just for the record
You were not just a flame
You were fire as it should be
Love ain't on our side
I draw a circle
But you see a square
Where it went wrong I don't know
Love ain't on our side
I cry from inside when everyone is around
I tried many times but nothing ever changed
I see you are not in love and I'll never be in love
Love ain't on our side

For Weeks

You play naïve but still we do not know a thing
You tricked us all for minutes, for hours, for days, for weeks
Is it just one thing or multiple that I said?
We'll just stop the fight because
We will never understand
You will never understand
Peace is hard to reach you bleach my mind with words or love
He can take a war or two or three if you want him to
But I'm the one who breaks down
In minutes in hours in days
Hopefully we will reach the island before dawn
Island before dawn
Is it just one thing or multiple that I said?
We'll just stop the fight because
We will never understand
You will never understand
Hopefully we will reach the island
Hopefully we will reach the island
Hopefully we will reach the island before dawn
Island before dawn

Fine Disaster
04:37
|

|
By midnight, waking up it seems as if its all right
The wall, standing on a chair I take a peak over
O me my mother is a monstrous machine, attacking me
My bad landscaping creates scenery for a fine disaster
Take me with you on the run
I am bored out with adventurers club
thinking they're on top
The pictures, showing what's going to be like, after a while
Take me with you on the run
I am bored out with adventurers club
thinking they're on top
Small creatures trying to tell me what I already know, I should leave
Take me with you on the run
I am bored out with adventurers club
thinking they're on top

Let me in

White unicorn on a rooftop back-lit by a purple sky
Then a cloud sails by
Without a sound its horn falls of and tumbles down
Then it says its name is Love
Funny, ‘cause I’ve got a gun with that name
and it shoots you in the face when you’re asleep
Hey there little pony, do you want to die
Why don’t you do a little dance for me?
White unicorn on a rooftop back-lit by a bright white sky
Don’t need clouds to see the lies
I reload, it’s shoot to kill this time
and aim right between the eyes
Funny, ‘cause I think the horse is me
And I might as well put the barrel in my mouth
The pile of carcasses blocks the door
of my house
Let me in
