FINE

I don’t think I´m listening to people anymore
I think I’m mostly looking at whatever
I don’t know who I am and I don’t really have a plan
And that doesn’t seem to be alright with anyone
My girlfriend says I’m cold so do my friends
They say that it’s too late to make amends
My parents think I’m dumb and all my teachers think so too
And I can’t tell if they’re right or if they’re wrong
I’m unhappy
I thought when I graduated I’d be fine
And I’m thinking that it’s
Probably ‘bout time we draw the line
Why is everything so
Hopelessly addictive
And why is the way I am
Such a huge disappointment
To everyone
I hope that when I die I am reborn
I´m hoping that it shakes me to my core
I’ll come back as a rabbit or I’ll come back as a horse
But most of all I’ll wish that I was yours
I’m unhappy
I thought when I reincarnated I’d be fine
And I’m thinking that it’s
Probably ‘bout time we draw the line
Why is everything so
Hopelessly addictive
And why is the way I am
Such a huge disappointment
To everyone
I sat on the sidewalk
And ate the ice cream that I thought was good
Only to realize
The good ice cream was a few minutes down the road
I hoped I would die there
I hoped somebody would take me away
I hoped somebody would just
Take me away
I’m unhappy
I thought when I graduated I’d be fine
And I’m thinking that it’s
Probably ‘bout time we draw the line
Why is everything so
Hopelessly addictive
And why is the way I am
Such a huge disappointment
To everyone

Nightmares

I had that horrible nightmare again
The one where all my exes get together
And then they ask each other how they have been
And start talking ‘bout all the things I did back then
With all of them
Oh them
I got a letter from your mother again
She says that she´s still waiting on that money
And that she hopes that you´re okay
And she keeps talking bout all the things you did back then
With all of them
With all of them
I have a terrible superpower
I can tell when conversations are dead
And even if we blow on its face
We know its never getting up again
And I told you we could make it
Just like I told you I would stay
And I told you we were older than today

Cables

I wish that all solutions
Were just tiny steps away
So we’d be rid of our problems
We would be okay again
Met a man who was a preacher
He was tall and he was wise
And he told me all my songs
Were just pretty written lies
And there’s a thousand fucking cables
Growing from my hands and eyes
Trying to connect themselves to you
Trying to connect themselves to you
When I told you that I loved you
Didn’t think that I was right
But I feel it in my walk oh god
I feel it day and night
I don’t think that I am broken
But I know I used to be
And I know that if the worlds burns down
It’d be okay with me
And there’s a thousand fucking cables
Growing from my hands and eyes
Trying to connect themselves to you
Trying to connect themselves to you

I wish that you could read my mind
Then it wouldn´t be so very
Hard
I wish that you could see my eyes
My pupils filled with so much
Bile
I guess I would be fearless too
If I had poisonous teeth
I guess I would be teethless too
If I had all those fears
I guess we´re not like lions anymore
Since when I am hunting you snore
I wish that you could come back home
I wish that you´d pick up the
Phone
I guess that you found someone else
Cause you never came back
I guess that he was not himself
When you went off the track
I guess we´re not like lions anymore
Since when I am hunting you snore
And I would sleep through a thousand lifetimes
And I could die in a hundred more
If I could only turn back time
To the way things were before
And I would fall from the highest mountain
And I could drown in the deepest sea
If I could only turn back time
To the way things used to be
Sometimes I told you always But I never told you now There´s no sunshine and it´s bringin me down
There´s no sunshine and it´s bringing me down ∞
And I would sleep through a thousand lifetimes And I could die in a hundred more If I could only turn back time To the way things were before
And I would fall from the highest mountain And I could drown in the deepest sea If I could only turn back time To the way things used to be

The Morning After
I sat and drank my coffee
Wincing all the way
I remember I thought that it was bitter
But not as much as my day
Those friends you said had left you
Are doomed forever now
In ways that those who go
Can ever really know how
Took a bite of poison apple
And laid down on the floor
Sometimes we all need to give some things up
So it keeps us wanting more
We are hurricanes and arctic storms
You level cities whole
Dancing winds with hidden knives
That always reach their goal
Analogies
My mind is bent
And endlessly remaking
The half a second where we almost kissed
We were ours for the taking
The way you look at me
I wish that I could bottle up
Defiantly serene
I´ll never have you for my own
Because we keep on going on
And we keep on keepin on
And there´s nothing you can do to stop us
We keep on going on
And we keep on keepin on
And there's nothing you can do to stop us
No there´s nothing you can do to stop us
Confrontation
So say that you’ll be mine
At least for one more lonely night
The world could be so fine
If the both of us could take the time
Because we keep on going on
And we keep on keepin on
And there´s nothing you can do to stop us
We keep on going on
And we keep on keepin on
And there's nothing you can do to stop us
Letting Go
We are hurricanes and arctic storms
you level cities whole
Dancing winds with hidden knives
that always reach their goal
Took a bite of poison apple
And laid down on the floor
Sometimes we all need to give some things up
So it keeps us wanting more

Taking Aim
03:52

I remember when I was younger
But all my memories from back then
Seem to fade away
Sometimes when I’m all alone
I can feel myself
Getting older
She made a mess
And I was the one who had to stay
And clean it up
Somehow when you came in
I could tell
You weren’t there for small talk
And I could tell that you were
Making other plans
And you’re slowly taking aim
For my head
Moments that we shared
I want to get back
But time doesn’t work that way
I must confess that I fell really shitty
Some of those times
You weren’t there
I thought I’d write you something
But everything I wrote
Seemed devoid of meaning
She told me not to tell you
And here I am
No one needs to know that you’re
Slowly taking aim
For my head
Slowly taking aim
for my head
Somehow when I’m dead
I’ll see you again
So you’re slowly taking aim
For my head

Crying in Jorge's House

Read a book about Malaria
Seems like it’s a terrible thing to have
And I wish I lived in Scotland
So I could hide behind the highs
When you told me that you loved me
It didn’t seem like you were sure
When I said I’d wait forever
You said I was being untrue
Met a genie in a bottle
She said what do you want now
She took one look at my face
She gave me all the wishes I could count
And so I wished that I was water
And I wished that I was sea
And I wished I had I the eyes
Of anybody else I’d seen
She told me not to worry
And she told me not to cry
And then she ran away so fast
That she left traces in my eyes
All the people I used to be friend’s with
Are not really my friends anymore
And every time that it’s my birthday
They write something on my wall
But we’re not really friends anymore
I hope that I die in November
And that nobody mourns for my death
And I hope a happier christmas comes
For my family and friends
