Look the people over there
They don’t even seem to care
But still, they make you wish you were dead
Isn’t easy even that?
Come to bed, try one more time
Aren’t you tired of feeling this?
Just like a cake,
Just like a puzzle
You create the parts you want
Even the ones to make up your mind
To be free
To be you
The real you
Acting holy just for them
How funny that is.
Don’t you remember we all have sins?
We all have secrets
We all have sorrows
We all have lovers
We all are fucked up people
Some people blind themselves
I do that even sometimes for fun
Why do you want reality all the time?
I like to dream, with my eyes open
But still, some fools are gonna bother you
Some will be like your shadow
Delicately behind every step you take
And you pretend you don’t know anything
And you don’t care if they see you as the silly one
Cause maybe,
Just maybe
They’ll see that some things in the puzzle don’t fit
“Where are those pieces?”
And you will just take off another mask
The ones you did for art.
Lovely baby
Lovely dream
I do really care
But we can’t have each other
Or can we?
Would you try it?
For her?
For him?
For them?
I will take off this mask
Maybe, one day
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up

Lonely on the woods
You found me
When I was blind
So blind
You took all my things
You make me thing you were the right one
The good one
Make me feel like nothing
And you’re saying that you love me
You’re so sick
You are the bad guy
Don’t you know that?
Telling your friends
You were saving my life
Don’t you remember who brought me down?
Looks familiar?
Can’t believe I give it all for a lie
So hard to learn
At least, I’m alive
I cannot forgive you
I hope I forgive you
It will be someday
You did your choose
Looking for roses
And you for thorns
For thorns
Slowly killing me
At least I can say
It was the only thing you did for me
The only thing
Cause
Make me feel like nothing
And you’re saying that you love me
You’re so sick
You are the bad guy
Don’t you know that?
Telling your friends
That you were the one
Who gave it all to the end
Your life for mine
More and more lies
Can’t believe I give it all for a lie
So hard to learn
At least, I’m alive
I cannot forgive you
I won’t ever forgive you
It won’t be someday
Can’t believe I give it all for a lie
So hard to learn
I guess I’m alive
I cannot forgive you
I hope I forgive you
It has to be someday

Bloom

You are the sweetest flower
Your colors are so bright
But suddenly you turn to black
The sun don’t shine everyday
So I understand that you too
Start to rain to later bloom
They all keep tearing off the petals
It hurts
But there’s no way i can show it
There’s no way i can scream
I promise I will bloom
I promise I will bloom
I promise I will bloom for me
One day I’ll be free
One day I’ll be free
One day I’ll be free from me
I’m the one who’s saving me
I’ll be the one who’s ending me
I’m the one who’s saving me
I’ll be the one who’s ending me
I’m drying up inside
But then I’ll be just fine
I’ve been through this
Too many times
Colors are fading away
It will rain and the sun will help
To be here one more day
They all keep tearing off the petals
It hurts
But there’s no way i can show it
There’s no way i can scream
I promise I will bloom
I promise I will bloom
I promise I will bloom for me
One day I’ll be free
One day I’ll be free
One day I’ll be free from me
I’m the one who’s saving me
I’ll be the one who’s ending me
I’m the one who’s saving me
I’ll be the one who’s ending me

Light me up and take me home
I want to erase it all cause
You don’t seem to get it
You don’t seem to care
And you need to face it all
Someone’s dead and you got the blame
You said “I can’t do this anymore”
So you stole someone else’s fade
Bloody
Bloody
Bloody
Bloody minds
(Bloody minds)
Guilty
Guilty
Guilty
Guilty as charged
(Yes, you are)
Worms inside my brain can’t take me anyway
Left with no goodbye or anything to say
I blame you after all
I blame you after all
Regret at night will eat you up
I haunt you at night to make you sure
You’re guilty after all
You’re guilty after all
You laugh and cry
So insecure
You would’ve thought twice
But no, you don’t
You don’t seem to care
Now you can’t erase it all
No, you can’t even get a board
To try it
You can’t take me back cause
Bloody
Bloody
Bloody
Bloody minds
(Bloody minds)
Guilty
Guilty
Guilty
Guilty as charged
(Yes, you are)
Worms inside my brain can’t take me anyway
Left with no goodbye or anything to say
I blame you after all
I blame you after all
Regret at night will eat you up
I haunt you at night to make you sure
You’re guilty after all
You’re guilty after all

meet me at the bar
02:29
|

|
I see you there
With your skate
and wind by your hair
There’s no one else here
Thinking about what we could be
Lately
Hey baby
Meet me at the bar tonight
Screaming out loud
Skeletons all around
What a lovely night
Standing there
Pretending like no one cares
But I do
Getting high,
Lost in the dark
Be my love tonight
Getting drunk
Staying dumb
Be my love tonight
Tell me what you need to
I’ve been dying here too
I don’t care about your dress
And you don’t care that I’m a mess
Tell me what you want to
Run away if you have to
I don’t care about your dress
And you don’t care that I’m a mess

Nobody's home
01:11
|
|||
|
There was a place to call home
But I think I don’t know it anymore
Feels like a prison cell behind the scenes
But you won’t say a word
Cause you’re not real
I find it someday
I find it someday
I find it someday

box of feelings
01:36
|

|
You won’t come home tonight
I know that you feel tired
Use your half-brain
I will heal the rest
I know we went crazy
I think we were just afraid
Just take the risk
Tell me if you feel the same
Got drunk
Told you how I feel
You make me nuts
You make me feel so much things
Should I tell you?
Shouldn’t I tell you?

Not your dolly
02:35
|
|||
|
You’ve seen all of me
“Oh I love all your ways
I cannot wait for me to see you, babe”
I guess time can stole
Ideas from you
In less time that you could thought
You don’t love me
But you won’t let me go
You want someone in me
That I’ll never know
I’m not your dolly
Or your favorite toy
Toy
Toy
Yes, I know
I loved you
But now I don’t
You didn’t want me anyway
No one likes to be alone
But I guess
You need to learn it someday
You don’t love me
But you won’t let me go
You want someone in me
That I’ll never know
I’m not your dolly
Or your favorite toy
Toy
Toy
We loved each other
We hurt each other
We hurt each other
We left each other

you can't pass the night without crawling down
you can use some of my love
or my lips to dry the blood
just in case
if you need some
if you need some love
i’ll be standing here anyway
waiting for something
i can’t get
i’m too close to you
too far from your mind
is there any way this can change?
i’m too far away again
you can’t go and hide
just like a child
won’t work this time
i have put curtains in this place
so you can't see anything
no more pretend, do you understand?
but I’m here
if you need some
if you need some love
you won’t look here anyway
i would love to take care of your head
i’m too close to you
too far from your mind
is there any way this can change?
i’m too far away again

Messy hair
And eyebags
So much more behind your eyes
I guess your mind has stopped playing games with you lately
I hope it could worked out
Stupid things may come but at last
We know how to have fun
When everything’s messy
I hear your whispers
In the middle of the night
Yes, I will stay with you
While the music’s playing
You’ll see all that
Your butterfly left side
Butterfly left side
It’s getting late
You’re singing out loud
Making noises
How weird you are
I hope you know I love your random side, darling
Just like old lovers
Both and best
Laughing like dumb kids
You got me, baby
Lovers rock can have this one everytime
I hear your whispers
In the middle of the night
Yes, I will stay with you
While the music’s playing
You’ll see all that
Your butterfly left side
Butterfly left side
