ROOM
I know
there's a picture
reflection of myself I can't look at
I was cheerful and looked so startled
But I didn’t know what would come next
There was this moment when I found out
life is not that simple.
All the joy I’ve had
Is now in a shade of one bad memory.
Back then I just couldn't enjoy my life in a proper way. I couldn't listen to anyone, pretending to care.
Now I can't get you out of my head. You were so calm until the end.
But I wasn't. It was hard for me watching a part of my family die.
I would visit your room quite often after you were gone.
With the intention of finding something more to remember.
I can’t admit that it’s gonna get worse.
That you were not not the last, you were the first.
Of all the people who mean what you meant to me.
You already know that I love you and all.
It's also the reason why I can’t keep calm
But this is hard, it’s so fucking hard!
I’ve become afraid of who will be next.
They will all start fading. One by one
... and more often than ever before.
Until I…
Until I’ll be the one who’s gotta get gone.
But I'm still here
Looking after my life.
Roaming through the memories
of you I got left.
Even though it’s my fault
they're already fading.
I feel bad
I feel really bad
Is it enough to say I miss you?
Is it enough to say I care?
But this is not the end
You will remain
until I forget
and fade away as well

STARTING OVER
When I take a look at what I’ve done
What I’ve accomplished
Is there anything worth a mention?
Maybe that’s why I keep pretending
that I’m not feeling old yet
Do you need to be satisfied with the life you live, or should you live up to your needs?
And just feel happy sometimes...
Starting over
is about to become normal.
You need to stick up for those who got nothing left.
None to rely on
No place to call home.
Why should I prove myself?
Because of you?
What if that’s all I’ve got?
What if I don’t care?
..Just to be clear
I don’t share your notion.
I don’t speak in tongues.
Do you have anything else to say?
while walking around, moaning.
It’s not about me.
And it will never be.
We’re all fading into the past.
Don’t chose sides, chose steps.
Because just you,
decide what’s the next.
Do you need to be satisfied with the life you live, or should you live up to your needs?
And just feel happy sometimes...
Starting over
is about to become normal.
You need to stick up for those who got nothing left.
None to rely on
No place to call home.

Please Talk!

PLEASE TALK!
So here’s this question again
How long can I stay inside my head, but
keep myself real?
Since when is it hard for me
hard to see the difference?
I can’t stop telling myself it will all be fine
Do I really have to fight with myself?
Do I really have to fight with myself?
Do I really have to fight with myself?
Do I really have to fight with myself?
So here’s the question again!
Do I even need to know the answer?
I do not feel trapped anyhow
But there is no reason to get outside
What if I was rude?
What if I was disappointed?
Can I even say what I want to say?
When you don’t let me out to make things go my way.
Where are the times you promised to be worth it?
Where are the things you said I will enjoy?
You promised,
Do you remember? You promised to keep it up all together!
Are you listening?
Please talk!
I had a reason to keep you down.
How would the others look at me if you were seen?
But I’m afraid
I’m afraid of change.
Afraid of my self
Stuck in my own head
hypocrite
in the mirrorr
Let me have a look inside
Just for a minute - maybe more
Hypocrite
in the mirror
I’ll stay quiet and let you think
I can feel it
I almost see it
like you were under my skin
Hypocrite
in the mirror
You’re here but you barely speak
I’ll stay here
until I’m finished
Thank you for believing me

IDLE
Crowded flat
Crowded home
I have all kinds of stuff but I feel so alone
I just wait for all this shit to end
But it’s endless
And I’ve never been so torn
Getting out of my bed
on my own
is every day harder and it grows on
Could someone please stop and stay calm for a day
I didn’t know I could damage my life by being idle.
Another year I’ve lost and counting.
But the time goes on, no matter what, no matter why. Waiting for no one.
That's what you don't see until you look back.
I’m loosing patience
almost every day,
'cause it always goes slowly,
the harder way
Does it go like this forever?
I`m thinking
Is that what you wanted to call a relief?
I didn’t know I could damage my life by being idle.
Another year I’ve lost and counting.
But the time goes on, no matter what, no matter why. Waiting for no one.
That's what you don't see until you look back.
