[Verse 1: Wale]
Ma ma ma mirror, tell me I'm the realest
Since all these other niggas ca ca can't mix la la lyrics
And sure gun bustin is such a lack of the subject
Ca could I be that nigga rejuvenating la levels
Da da da did I stutta, the missin piece of the puzzle
Feel like the only rapper that look at you with no trouble
It's easy on TV make them believe what they be seein
Ma Mirrors never lie, so they keep eyes up on they re-runs
For fear of what you show them, reality is golden
Real recognize, girl you need some ID to be noticed though
One of the coldest to mix pro two with the vocals
What the fans can't see, the mirror gon notice back
Mirror mirror on the wall, who the realest of them all
That ain't hard, swear to god, these niggas ain't real at all
Mirror mirror on the wall, is it right, is it wrong
It ain't hard, swear to god, these niggas ain't real at all
[Verse 2: Bun B]
Say that Mr. Mirror, put yourself up to yourself and then
Just take a look at the reflection that's reflectin in
Your own physical, superficial and spiritual
All the possessions you possess and they can't keep your spirit full
You need to hear it fool but you don't wanna listen cause
You're so fa full of your sa self man you just sit and judge
You point em out and call em up and then sa sit em down
Then you fa fertalize the lines spread that shit around
But if you took a second Mr. Mirror you would see
That you just mad at you, man you ain't really mad at me
You take the hatred out yourself and just project it out
No disrespect, you can't respect yourself then just get out
For real you need to go away just like the rain song
Cause you fa frontin and fa fakin is just plain wrong
So Mr. Mirror man I'm just gon keep it G
If you can't look up at yourself how the fuck you lookin at me mayne
[Chorus:]
Mirror mirror on the wall, who the realest of them all
That ain't hard, swear to god, these niggas ain't real at all
Mirror mirror on the wall, is it right, is it wrong
It ain't hard, swear to god, these niggas ain't real at all
[Verse 3: Wale]
Ma ma ma mirror, tat a tell me she the realest
I met her in the club and she wouldn't let me in it
Sa seen her in that video, seen her in a magazine,
Seen me I ain't frontin we ain't seen em til this last week
So why you nasty, fa fa fuck you call that
I call it insecure, sha sha shawty think she all that
Fa fa fuck outta here, that's how they getting gas
09 gold diggas walkin with that different path
Find a dimey (wrap em up)
Let em fuck (suck em up)
Getting good [? ] another one
No longer cab fare, with surgery and masked air
We're lookin at your money, but ca can't look up in that
Mirror, finna wanna show you reality is gold
Real recognize real real women don't know you
One of the coldest the friction on that pole
With them tippers don't see I bet the mirror gon show
Mirror mirror on the wall, who the realest of them all
That ain't hard, swear to god, these niggas ain't real at all
Mirror mirror on the wall, is it right, is it wrong
[Hook: Curren$y]
Riding on mirrors
Help them sucka ass niggas see it clearer
See yourself, watch us get richer
Me and my nigga DZA, riding on mirrors
[Verse 1: Curren$y]
Hundred for a yacht
Smoking out the state room, make room for a nigga
Bigger than the block, feds taking pictures
Inquisitive, interested in how I make my living
From this balling and chilling, penciling pen pimping
Two of my bottom bitches, ? write my name on it
Checks that I sign, it's roll up time, windex the windows in my mind
And let the ones who understand see what's going on inside
Only share with those, worth they weight in gold
Gotta be in the know to really know though
You know my bitch eyes slanted, Yoko
? Andretti, highed up, peace signs in my photos
Headrest bearing the family crest
Baby girl, you clearly rocking with the best
Eulogize when I ride for I'm fresh to death
[Hook x2]
[Verse 2: Smoke DZA]
Jet Lifing on these bitches like I'm 'posed ta
Rugby bandana wrap my head up like the Hulkster
And I ain't banging though, unless I'm banging hoes
Bitches suck and swallow like they tryna find the antidote
Niggas be fronting, acting mad for real
'Til you slide they main squeeze, have them made for real
Weak bladders, I be pissing them off
Cause payback is more of a bitch when your bitch is involved
Classic 'Lo on my '97 Pennys, this my vintage fit
Think Christmas, I be tree lit up, no Rockefeller Center shit
This fucking hash tasting sweeter than some cinnasticks
Have you fidgeting then put you out real sinister
More onions, I need more hundreds
Posers don't want it, they Malibu's Most Wanted
We all know you ain't really that guy
You don't even be inhaling, you be faking the high
Riiiiiight
A mirror is a negative space
With a frame and a place for your face
It reveals what the rest of us see
It conceals what you'd like it to be
Pretty girls can't look away
Pretty girls can't look away
Pretty girls can't look away
Pretty girls can't look away
Pretty girls have a love affair
With their eyes and their shining hair
Fantasize that the world adores
Tantalize like a cover girl
Mirrors are the basis of beauty
Give rise to self love or self pity
The prize if a woman is pretty
She tries like a superstar Hollywood girl
Pretty girls can't look away
Pretty girls can't look away
Pretty girls can't look away
Pretty girls can't look away
Vanity's a deadly sin
It's what the flesh is packaged in
Vanity's a deadly sin
It's what the flesh is packaged in
Pretty girls have a love affair
With their eyes and their shining hair
Fantasize that the world adores
Tantalize like a cover girl
Mirrors are a negative space
With a frame and a place for your face
They reveal what the rest of us see
They conceal what you'd like it to be
Vanity's a deadly sin
Magic swords with many lords for treasures that abound me.
Battle cries that fill the skies with pain.
Images I see, make my destiny.
Reflecting back to me, that which is to be.
At first I smelt the blood I felt for warriors that I've slain.
Feeling more the scars of war and pain.
Images I see, make my destiny.
Reflecting back to me, that which is to be.
Solo
Setting sights through horror nights,
For ships that sail the sea.
So I yearn, the dawns returning fleet.
Images I see, make my destiny
Images I see, make my destiny
Everything is a novelty...
Everyone grows but me...
Close one eye, step to the side...
Everyone grows but...
Everyone's in fragments...
Lose control
You find yourself pulling our eyes from the room
Attention, your addiction
It's destroying everything, this steadfast fixation
Still my satisfaction is found in your submissive hands
Beautiful, the life you drove through me
Through this wall of glass
Piercing rays fueled the radiance in your eyes
Pulling me closer, defying all reason
Until a night so disconnecting stole it away
And now these screams do nothing but fasten you to this prison I designed
Lose control, find yourself, lose control
To be destroyed is a choice you'll have to make
Violent, the life you drove through me
Through this wall of glass
Piercing rays fueled the radiance in your eyes
Pulling me closer, defying all reason
Let it out, Shed this skin, Break away
Denial is catching up, illusion is caving in
Exactly what did you expect?
The harm is in hiding
Knowing only your simplicity, knowing nothing
Upon the great divide
You see it your own way
No wisdom across the shallow glass
A captive god
You look over a deadened face
Features sink like a skull
So familiar yet so far away
I see now
I see now there is a choice to make
We could be any one, I see now
We turn over, we redefined this reflection
This is a need that we learn like a new limb
There is a choice to make
We will lie in our graves
A hall of mirrors opens into a room full of me
I could be anyone, we could be anyone
There is a choice to make, I see now
We turn over, we redefine this reflection
There is a choice to make
Do you feel the world you have left is crumbling
awake till the sun comes up. asleep till the sun goes down
Your skin will turn to a pale shade of grey
Shadows of doubt consume, forever seems so fake
Don't try and believe you'll live forever
I try to scream at you
Get ready for a ride with no fucking turning back
Look at yourself in the mirror tonight
Pail face black eyes
Your lips are turning blue
Your pulse is now lost forever
Things can never be the same again
Do you feel your life is crashing down
Bet you never been so cold
it doesn't get any lower than this
Can't live can't breath
Defeated, and broken
Your future is fucking lost
You're running scared
You're falling down with a sickness
You cant just burn away at your mistakes
Your skin will turn to a pale shade of grey
Shadows of doubt consume, forever seems so fake
your place here is dead
And your future is plauged by a baren past
Now fall asleep tonight, Feeling cold, No place to go
Resting in silent
Corridors of truth
I find my mind trying
To break through
I know your thoughts
Are never to be mine
And yet I'm still trying
To find out
As long as I try to fight
I know it will always
Fight back
How would it feel
If we'd watch
Our mirrors cracking
"MIRRORS"
-Eric Bogle
Children are born with trust in their eyes
it's the first thing that we betray
Children are born believing in magic
it's the first thing we take away
Fill them with doubt instead of magic
and fear instead of trust
And after awhile, they're just like us
On this earth there is a city
in a rich green pleasant country
Where they kill their children
the children of the streets
Free enterprise extermination
why waste rehabilitation?
a bullet is forever
It's so final quick and cheap
And the despots all wear policemen's badges
Kill to supplement their wages
Earn their bloody bounty
with the gun and the club and knife
While profit-concious businessmen
Upright solid citizens
Pay them a cew cruzeiros
for every murdered street kids life
(But they're children!)
They're garbage on the streets
(Oh the children!)
They're beggars, whores and theives
(Oh pity the children!)
Cry pity if you will,
There's none on the streets
of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil
To bless this piece of paradise
High on a hill stands Jesus Christ
Gazing down with sightless eyes
at the daily blasphemy
A mocking marble coontradiction
arms spread wide in benediction
Suffer the little children,
suffer them to come to me
And the despots cry "amen, amen"
while they bow their knees to Bethlehem
They spit in the face of humankind
Turn our dreams to worthless dust
And the future, as it's always done,
stares down the barrel of a gun
Which once more begs the question,
When will the despots come for us?
(But they're children!)
Have you seen their eyes?
(Oh the children!)
Hard and wary and street-wise
(Oh pity the children!)
There are no children here
Only old eyes full of hunger
and hate and hopeless fear
(But they're children!)
Abandoned and forsaken
(Oh the children!)
Useless human flotsam
(Oh pity the children!)
And pity us as well
For in our childrens' eyes
Oh we are mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
We are singing and dancing in perfect time
There is nothing in the world that we can do
To stop the light of love come shining through
And the fire of a newborn moment is shining round you
Kiele aloha
Hey, a perfect stranger, a feeling of you,
Kiele aloha
Hey, come be with me for we are, we are, we are...
...Perfect mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
We are singing and dancing in perfect time
There is nothing in the world that we can do
To stop the light of love come shining through
And the fire of a golden light is shining round you
Kiele aloha
Hey, the wind is cold, and I long to hold you
Kiele aloha
Hey, come be with me for we are, we are, we are
We are perfect mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
We are singing and dancing in perfect time
There is nothing in the world that we can do
To stop the light of love come shining through
And the streets are filled with bells, and the sky was falling
Kiele aloha
There are so many things I long to tell you, can you here me calling
Kiele aloha
Hey, come be with me for we are, we are, we are
We are perfect mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
We are singing and dancing in perfect time
There is nothing in the world that we can do
To stop the light of love come shining through
We are mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
We are singing and dancing in perfect time
There is nothing in the world that we can do
To stop the light of love come shining through
We are mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
We are singing and dancing in perfect time
There is nothing in the world that we can do
Standing before a mirror
And I put a gun to my head
Day by day a step further into nothingness
But now the cask is overflown
It seems to be that there's a voice
Speaking to me from within the glass
I hear words that try to save me
And tell me something about the good things in life
Maybe I should think-over my situation?
Suddenly I realize that mirrors cannot speak
And I see that the light at the end of the tunnel
Is just another train
A growing fear is filling my inner void
Is there another sense in life for me?
What else can I expect for myself?
I think I'm at the point of no return
Now I will disappear
This is the end
You look into a mirror
It's wonderful: the feelings it can hide
Doesn't seem any clearer
But just so you know
I'll always be by your side
You look at me like I'm not there
You avoid my gaze, avoid my stare
Don't pretend it's not the end
Cause I know where we stand
It's funny how we used to be so strong
But now it seems like we don't belong
Together
And mirrors won't make it any clearer
Even though now we're just friends
I won't forget everything that i meant
Forever
And mirrors won't make it any clearer
Open up your eyes
It's crazy what you can see
You head spins and time goes by
You can't do it on your own
There's nothing to hide
The promises that we have kept
None of it I regret
So take my hand
Don't pretend
It's funny how we used to be so strong
But now it seems like we don't belong
Together
And mirrors won't make it any clearer
Even though now we're just friends
I won't forget everything that i meant
Forever
And mirrors won't make it any clearer
You don't have to do it on your own
You know you'll never be alone
Just because we're done doesn't mean it's the end
And you know that it's true
It's funny how we used to be so strong
But now it seems like we don't belong
Together
And mirrors won't make it any clearer
Even though now we're just friends
I won't forget everything that i meant
Forever
And mirrors won't make it any clearer
You don't have to do it on your own
You know you'll never be alone
Mirrors don't show what we really are inside
If this is what life brings
If God has his plans for me
Then I will
Find out how to die and avoid it
As far as I can see
The whole world is sleeping
But not me
I am lying here in a million pieces
I can't make it
I'm waiting for the sun to come out
I'm waiting for the right time
The right time to find my way out
What joy the night can bring
Riding the ghost until the morning sings
Where a bad situation means
With a perfect, dreamless sleep
Or a dream of dreaming
For me, to never see
So I'm feeling lucky
I can't make it
I'm waiting for the sun to come out
I'm waiting for the right time
The right time to find my way out
Last chance to run away with me
Become a ghost
I don't know what to say and think
You have to trust me
Imagine all the things you'll see
I can't make it
I'm waiting for the sun to come out
I'm waiting for the right time
I used to see a ballerina staring back at me
A beauty queen a singing star was all I longed to be
I’d dress up in my mother’s clothes and dance the days away
When nothing was torn and tattered broken or frayed.
I used to see an astronaut flying through the clouds
And in that look of innocence nothing brought you down
And everything was possible in the frame of a mirror
And every dream was coming true when you wished it down the river.
But they don’t make mirrors like they used to
Cos they tell me the truth that i'm living truth
No they don’t make mirrors like they used to
Cos when I look in one now I see everything’s changed somehow.
I used to love the boy next door he loved me from afar
With his ripped up jeans his long died hair and his battered old guitar
He never did make Kurt Cobain he’s happy with his babies
I guess love stood the test of time cos he still drives me crazy.
But they don’t make mirrors like they used to
Cos they tell me the truth that i'm living truth
No they don’t make mirrors like they used to
Cos when I look in one now I see everything’s changed somehow
Nothings the same and it all gets re-arranged
As you go where life will lead you too
And the books always open the circle is un-broken
And they don’t make mirrors like they used too
No they don’t make mirrors like they used to
Cos they tell me the truth that i'm living truth
They don’t make mirrors like they used to
Cos when I look in one now I see everything’s changed somehow
Shut your mouth and close the door
I wanna, watch you while you take it off
I'm gonna, take a blindfold put it on
And then I drop the letter to the floor
I SAID SHUT UP!
Turning the lights out,
Burnin' the candles
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!
Tighten the handcuffs
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!
My styletto on your neck
Until i, tie your hands above the bed,
Youve got to, but boy dont pull the trigger yet

What is the end of your day?
Do you fade into nighttime or toil away?
I believe I was put here to worry and wait.
We fail to make up for what we cannot name.
Are you true to whatever you do?
Or are you scared to bring light to your own misery?
You're so wrapped up in your history that I never see you here.
Think of me when you're painting mirrors by moonlight,
I'll hold every clock hand to midnight.
We've all got things to fear.
What is the end of your week?
Some wait for romance to play out like a scheme.
Others wake Sunday and need to believe
that their part in the system is what makes them free.
But I'm just in need of some truth.
I know it's here, but there are so many distractions.
And when you're blinded by every refraction you can't focus on the light.
You'll drown in fear, just remember we are all scared, too.
Don't neglect the ground we're all bared to; your roots will give you life.
I'm lost in the aisles, crossing the lines left behind in some gold-leafed illumination.
I guess I'm better left to temptation, bared to the ground.
A fool, no ascetic, I wander around.
I spew the hermetic and never expound, still it feels like I'm homeward bound.
And what are you to do when the working day catches up with you, a thirsty seed?
I will lend a hand if you need: the running water to your olive tree.
What is the end of your day?
Are you slave to those mirrors your form fills with shame?
bite wants to sink into trouble
in the dumb-side of your heart
like a fiend reaching for you
it's just inches from your war
run to live under mirrors
taste the sunspots of your words
like a pen leads to something
you leave behind
now here's your chance
you've been running around
like a porter
eyes love to sink in your trouble
in the front side of your words
like a blink thinking for you
cause you're chewing up the world
like a dead wind up hero
leads to some kind of war
in your head
like a fishbowl
i can see you hide
now here's your chance
you've been running around
like a porter
give in this gut of mine
you're what comes to mind
Decide nothing
I depend for everything
You don't need me
You don't need anything
Remedies were bankrupt like the rest of these
Forget what they told you - there's no self-help
Taken by Your glory - don't look back now
I don't care who I am, I lost that interest
bite wants to sink into trouble
in the dumb-side of your heart
like a fiend reaching for you
it's just inches from your war
run to live under mirrors
taste the sunspots of your words
like a pen leads to something
you leave behind
now here's your chance
you've been running around
like a porter
eyes love to sink in your trouble
in the front side of your words
like a blink thinking for you
cause you're chewing up the world
like a dead wind up hero
leads to some kind of war
in your head
like a fishbowl
i can see you hide
now here's your chance
you've been running around
like a porter
give in this gut of mine
you're what comes to mind
don't you wander off
Feel the cold upon my neck.
Feels like I'm the lucky one
to turn away from all my troubles.
Wait for emptiness to come..
A face that cries now dries it's eyes.
'cuz pain is now part of itself.
Can't stand aside and look within.
What do you fear when you're in hell.
I make a scratch unto yhe wall,
but it remains unchanged beside me..
So tell me what difference does it make,
if it's the last thing I see...
Mirrors scorn me with hate,
'cuz life is too hard to take.
And I don't need someone to talk to,
Under a starlit sky i wait for you
You wait for me under your watchful eye
The shadows look for me
All my mistakes i find reflected back at me
The sorrows of the past no longer capture me
You hold me and encircle me with love
Keep me safe
Keep me in your arms
I don't ever want to fall away from you
My God i need you can't live without you
And the only reflection i see is yours
Under a bloody moon i search for you
You look for me i know i will find you soon
You are too close to see
My feet are running my heart wonders will it be the same
And i know
Its true you'll never look away
Look through the mirror of reality – a world of happiness
and fun between the melancholy of trusted loyalty – inside
our hearts there’s a place called home – a place called
earth – a place in our world where no one is alone – do I
have a choice in my life – could I break the innercircle of
blind faith – and if I’m down – could I rise? And when I’m high
distorted signs seem to show me the way of life.
What if everything that’s around us – what if everything we
love and try to live in is falling down – is falling under
ground zero – the beginning of the end – trust becomes
distrust – love turns to hate – brotherliness becomes
hostility – remember the history – the circle is closing in
time – but if I keep the faith in myself – could I break its
lines?
All darkness of the world
Can’t prevent a little candle from shining
And all the winds that hatred brings
Can’t blow out the faithful lightning
Through the mirrors of reality – I’ve seen the hatred of the
human being – and it was cruel – it was horrid – all these
corpses and I smelled their decay – no church to help no
priests were there to pray – for their souls – the world
was lost – because we had forgotten our roots – we had
forgotten why we live and now I turn back from the fictive –
This is the house where you were born
These rooms seem smaller than before
I turned 22 when were you found
Shattered and broken on the ground
They will rob you blind
They will take your peace of mind
And you'll want to run away from here
I know you can't escape from all of your fears
I made my peace with the world and all that it brings
I'm holding my own
We saw a spark within your eyes
Your face reflected in the light
We are all angels in the sky
We are all mirrors in disguise
We will lift up
We will place you on your feet
We will pick you up
We will never let you go
When you want to run away from here
I found you can't escape from all of your fears
I've made my peace with the world and all that it brings
Is the weakening stench of malignance
Staining your mind as your selfishness binds
Do you call upon your inner demons
Does anyone know is it all for show
Corrupt must you be in lesser words descriptive
As shallow as you are
The miles I've walked all paved in stone
While you've never walked very far
Decisions uncalled for
Reckoning state
Of blood stained fathom in guilt
A martyr to which
The terms all apply
For all the blood you've spilt
Reflective
Heading my words
Countless times of desire
Falling for false impressions
Is what I do best
Sincerity
Truth be cliched
Fallen against the gods
I've held my tongue for far too long
Committed too much fraud
Is my ignorance affecting my conscious
Subtle and profound
How you dare not be sound
Coincidence merely derives from my head
The thesis in haze
Our theories decay
In all of it's glory and valor it seems
It's beauty externally fades
As you catch the glimpse of hell
You're limited to your days
Decisions uncalled for
Reckoning state
Of blood stained fathom in guilt
A martyr to which
The terms all apply
For all the blood you've spilt
Reflective
Heading my words
Countless times of desire
Falling for false impressions
Is what I do best
Sincerity
Truth be cliched
Fallen against the gods
I've held my tongue for far too long
No sound bending air,
I breathe alone now and wondering will it always be like
this,
There’s something in the air,
Now I think I’m scared,
Save me from the monsters under bed,
Save me from a dusty head,
It seems I need someone her to mend and save me from a
bitter end,
Want to taste the moon,
I lack transportation,
So is this how I will die?
A fading pulse at hand, no one by my side,
Without a shoulder to hold when I’m older,
No one to take my hand,
Am I less a man?
Ashes and pictures of dreamers and lovers,
Was it happiness?
Did I give up the key to all of this,
Reflect at last,
Regret I can’t get past,
I am one with the ones who bring the plague
I control their universe
Through the dark, beyond this world I am
In the dominions of thine
Consume the earth, the night will never end
As I see through the secrets of all time
The funerals will never end
I will summon thee
Forces of Darkness and ancient might
I'll bring you forth, into eternal impure night
I will summon thee
Who the legions of light will attack
Step right through my Mirrors of Black
As the flames from the past start to rise
And the sun drowns in blood
As my spirit burn the world of lies
The vision has come true
I will summon thee
Forces of Darkness and ancient might
I'll bring you forth, into eternal impure night
I will summon thee
Who the legions of light will attack
I'm standing in front of these mirrors and I see your fuckin' face
This is the most ridiculous thing for my eyes
What I've become?
Because of your fuckin' words I am a monster
Why don't you just shut the fuck up?
I want to wake up from this crazy nightmare
I see the light but I still can't reach it
I won't give up
Fading away from these mirrors of darkness that are surrounding me
I cannot go on like this forever
They're around me and I feel like I'm crazy
There's only one thing that I want from you...
Get back what was mine!
I am the darkness in your soul!
Fading away from these mirrors of darkness that are surrounding me
I cannot go on like this forever
They're around me and I feel like I'm crazy
There's only one thing that I want from you...
Hometown
Everyday may be the same
But I'm happy to live my life now
I feel like I'm a man of my time
But I don't have to thank my generation
I used to criticize my hometown
But at the end I found I love it so
And that the world's not so bad
My life is not so boring
My days are not so empty
And I'm so proud to sing that
I'm so happy
That I was born in this
Foggy town
It'll always be the only
One I call home
And I'm so proud to sing that
Who Knows How To Feel?
Here at the time of war and love
I don't want to kid myself
Maybe I don't want to be my old self
Who knows how to feel?
I wish I could feel
Start all over, man
start all over
Here at the time of minds'control
I wanna play an active role
I want to search the final truth
Who knows how to feel?
I know we can feel
Start all over, man
Through
Welcome through the great illusion kids
There's no game, no color and no why
No one here will become a donkey ah!
You all will be lions in a cage
You all will be sharks in a fish bowl
Hey all you wasted, the game's bigger than us
Come on brothers, get up and save the world
Come on sisters, fashion will save us all
Sun through my haze
Showing ways
Warm after life
Out of days
Sweet tender kiss
Bleeding dust
Our memories
Replaced by rust
We are all happily deceived
And after all there's nothing else to do
We are all happily confused
We live in an unsafe world
Waiting the martyr's knock
Praying a different God
And we're afraid too much
Of walking down the streets
Of getting on the bus on the bus
Everyday everyday
But we take your cruise everyday
We see our children die
And our houses go up in flames
And tell us where should we live?
Beyond the border of time?
Under a cruises'rain?
An old wall came down years ago
A new one is growing up
We're animals to be railed
This is the truth that we know
This is the start of the end
The Best Of Your Lies
Did you hear them
Crawling on you?
They will keep you
Healthy and strong
We are like lonely birds on a wire
Looking for the right way in the fire
I would not be
Scared of my times
They will bring us
From heaven to hell
Show me more news
And make me happy
The same old story
The best of your lies
But we are like lonely birds on a wire
Go if you've got to go
leave me here if you've got to know
but don't think me a fool
no i'm not worried, no i'm not worried at all
Be said if you're feeling sad
but don't play sad if you're feeling glad
i know you all too well
no i'm not worried, no i'm not worried so tell
Sometimes i will find i've got to be
a million miles away before i'll see...
I don't know why but you've gotta be
i don't know why but you've gotta be for me
Hide if you've got to hide
i'll only be one step behind
i've lost you once before
and i don't want to lose you, i don't want to lose you no more
Run if you've got to run
the chase has always been the most fun
but this time don't make a meal
because i don't want to lose you, i don't want to lose you
Sometimes i will find i've got to be
a million miles away before i'll see...
I don't know why but you've gotta be
Yesterday any way you made it was just fine
Saw you turn your days into night-times
Didn't you know, you can't make it without ever even trying?
And there's something on your mind
Let these times show you that you're breaking up the lines
Leaving all your dreams too far behind
Didn't you see, you can't make it without ever even trying?
And there's something on your mind.
Maybe another day you'll want to feel another way
You can 't stop crying
Raining cloud
from a breath of wind
flowers with a smile
will bloom in your heart
Fountain
of desires
you give hope to dreamers
in your heart the Garden of Life
Do you know how I feel inside
when the rain falls on your eyes ?
I would stay on and on to see you
I'm climbing walls, they've been here all this time
And if I fall, well I'll leave this place behind
I can change, be more than this disgrace
I can wait, just tell me to my face
How did I end up in this place?
How did I end up in this place?
When did I start to fill my head with memories?
If I could part, replace my thoughts with melodies
Then I could change, be ready for the race
I could arrange to take us from this space
How did I end up in this place?
How did I end up in this place?
You'd pains of hell,
They cried for you
Everyone forgot all 'bout you
Today got out,you healed yourself
Suffred a lot but never gave up
You're young
And you're here again
Smile today everywhere
Please don't wait
Our god is here
Life is what we can feel
I'm scared of death
I can't believe
It could be a day
In which I'm not alive
I want to die,I want to live
Give me a reason to remain sane
Oh my dear
Have you ever known,
Ever known who you praid?
Please don't fail
We only need a faith,
Need a faith to be safe
We are not safe
Life's a veil
Walk accross beauties of life
Forget the ghost of the past
You're not here to ride a-part
Look at your neighbours'flowers now
Enjoy them all
I want to know
Why we are here
I can't find any truth by me
I need your help
I'm going down
Channel War
It was a rainy night in March
A new show was being broadcast
I didn't know what they were talking 'bout
So I checked the TV program
I heard someone asking loud
On which channel the war was
On which channel the war was
They were talking 'bout channel war
Take our extinction
And let's have it live!
Make money over yourself
The human race
Enjoy it all fast before
The martyr's at your door
Save a prayer and close your eyes
Save us from the end
We're nearer than ever
We've barred the path we're on
We'll fade away forever
We are erasing all that we've created
Save us or kill us but
Hurry up!
Come and take my hand please
Bring me out of this world
There's no place for me now
We're just walking on a wire
Hey did you see,did you see,did you see
What happened to the world?
Please comfort me,comfort me,you know
The future has been sold
It has been sold out
Old you're growing old,you're growing old,so run away
Cos time beats only once
Cos time beats only once
It beats only once
It beats only once
It beats only once
Only once
It beats only once
Hey did you read,did you read,did you read,
Did you read the latest news?
Time,not much time,not much time,not much time,
There's not much time left to think
Time left to think
Old you're growing old,you're growing old,
So hurry up
Cos time beats only once
Cos time beats only once
It beats only once
It beats only once
It beats only once
Only once
It beats only once
I know we are walkin'alone
Staring at sun by the phone
Gazing through you I can't see
It's high time you left behind chasing shadows
In the moonlight sky
You'd better give it up
You'd better give it up soon you know you
Wouldn't want it
These signs are running dry you better leave it
For another time
You'd better give it up
You'd better give it up soon you know you
Wouldn't want it
I know I'm alive because in my heart I'm afraid to die
I'd better give up
I'd better give it up soon I really shouldn't be here
My, my, a damn fine line, are these illusions of a
Different kind?
I'd better give up
I'd better give it up soon you know you
Wouldn't want it
I've been wandering, I've been searching in the
Wilderness
I'd better give up
I'd better give it up soon the wolves are closing in but
I spy a dimming light, is it the devils hand or
Heaven-sent? I'd better give up
I'd better give it up soon you know you
Hold me down don't be scared to make a scene
Just sell it, sell it, we both know the sheets are clean
I told you once the other day, I said I wouldn't care about
It anyway
Night-time and my demons become saints
You say it's easy, (easy,) I say no, no, (no, no,) way
And though we might see God from these dizzy heights
You know it won't be long before we're out of sight
Go home, (Go home,) you don't have to rot
Go home, (Go home,) you took your shot, you lost
You know we don't have to do this anymore
We've danced around and around until our feet are sore
Morning and my demons came to stay
I tried, but I could not get them to stay away
So I'm looking into that demon eyes
I've got nowhere to run I've got nowhere to hide
Go home, (Go home,) you don't have to rot
Oh let's delay, let's find another game
Because you're boring me a little more with every day
And oh let's arrange to write a little play
To write through the night is to fill another day
Let's write through the night, right through the night
Oh find a light, there's darkness in these eyes
And they're not fooling anyone
Find a beat, the cold has clogged his heart
And there's nowhere, nowhere to run
Let's write through the night, right through the night
This boy's a mess, he's menace he's a pest
But he's got no one else to blame
Let's hang him up by his feet then let him drop
Oh he's mongrel's son he can't be tamed
Let's write through the night, right through the night
These people want what these people cannot see
We sell them love through hypocrisy
And that is it, nothing real could ever stick
I've given up on you give up on me
I found some warmth in another
And I found some grace in a child
Red lights falling around me
And I'm feeling reckless and wild
Because there's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...ways to an end here
There's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...ways to an end.
Fall for another
Her magic is growing inside
Let's run, let's run for cover
It's easy to hold on to a lie
Time is a number
And mine has cut like a knife
I'm dreaming, dreaming of conquest
Distorted within, beyond a place to begin
I'm so shrouded in sin, I can't win
Take me back to the start, that has burdened this heart
We've moving so fast, we're missing so much
Is this far enough?
Is this far enough?
Now the rain's falling in, greasing your skin
The fear of drowning, again
Imagine the water, closing over your head
Shadows on the surface, forcing you to forget
How far we've come
How far we've come
Washing over me now, the immaculate sound
Of living life without taste, or beauty
And not the folly of love, can change my distaste
I ask you is this enough, I wonder is this the place
Is this far enough?
Hair curled honey
Down to your backbone
Wake up sunny
Where did your clothes go?
Spider and web you sew
Sew him your words
And hands on crossed legs
You bend
Bend to be heard
But eyes off of my love
Claws on claws in water
And keep the skin under your dress
It's only yours to play with
And you know I'm not a fighter
So glue your arms to your side
You want love, love
You want love, love
And windows, foggy
Pressed in your lipstick
Legs up to your neck
Covered in plastic
And all you want is some loving
Sin on skin only skin
And dragons in my spine
Breathing words of fire
And fear on lips my guns are held
I've got to make sense of this blank canvas
Why can't I fill it with colours in my head?
So I make a mess depicting my unease
This is the mess only your love could breed
Look at me, look how love has changed the man
I used to be
Don't you see? The mess that I've become since
Love took hold of me?
Let me go...
I have my ways, I keep the positives
I have my fun, I stay well disciplined
My indignation has left me sad and cold
Dear Miss White,
Put down this night
You wouldn't believe how much it snows
In the summer heat,
With red iron feet,
You'll be nursing a bloody nose!
Princess, rest
We'll talk in our sleep,
But I wouldn't dare to sit too close
I can't be your prince,
Though your secrets are safe,
I am the mirror who can't let go
With hair as black as night
Her skin, a dead, pearly white
And blood red, on the bathroom wall...
With every breath
And every intake,
Tip toe further away
Further away from this mistake -
I'm no savior, I'm no saint, saint!
(That's not what you needed anyway)
All the cold that you caught,
The bones that you've bought,
The blood that you've lost...
You built your body in the coffin where you sleep
Let this apartment breathe,
'Cause it's what it needs
I'm suffocating the clock to keep you
I think like a saint,
But swing like a thief,
And inadvertently leading you
To believe I'm your prince,
Adorn your bedroom with hints
Take the red from your eyes
And ink it into your skin
Now watch what you say,
'Cause there's nothing gray,
About the color of your sin...
With hair as black as night
Her skin, a dead, pearly white
And blood red, on the bathroom wall...
With every breath
And every intake,
Tip toe further away
Further away from this mistake
I'm no savior, I'm no saint, saint!
(That's not what you needed anyway)
All the cold that you caught,
The bones that you've bought,
The blood that you've lost...
You built your body in the coffin where you sleep
(A fix, just a little bit
Give the girl enough to sleep through this
So, stop staring at the mirror
Before it tells you the truth
Operate operate operate, or it'll kill you too)
With every breath
And every intake,
Tip toe further away
You breathing and bloodshot, tired mistake
I'm no savior, I'm no saint, saint!
(You need to see the pieces you've thrown away)
All the cold that you caught,
The bones that you've bought,
The blood that you've lost...
Keep your body; get the hell away -
From,
This is real
I am my own enemy
I am my own enemy in this game called
Life as we speak, This is the turning point
Of our lives
The one chance we have, we will
Never have again
Not even addiction can tie me down
My silence, never hit your ground
With your new piece of mind its
Time to get your shit straight, take charge
Of your ship
I've lost so much to get so far in this
Game called life as we strive to
Succeed without filth and
What's Your Heaven Like?
She just wants to know why
Why we were high and now so low
And why history has changed
Right on that sunny day
Can you tell her 'bout your heaven?
What's your heaven?
What's your heaven?
Your eleven?
He was just going back home
And he took number 4
He even felt no pain
Another martyr in the rain
Can you tell him 'bout your heaven?
What's your heaven?
Now that we have made up I see everyone as a friend
I don't feel afraid what have you done to my heart?
I see all around me so many flowers
is it because today I'm feeling you?
I see all around me so many flowers
is it because today I'm feeling you?
All things are reborn
because of you
blue is the sky
Stereovision Dream
I've run after you for all my life
And now that you're here
I can't feel what I felt
I'm stupid enough to let you go away
And then be left alone with my regrets
It's hard to say, but maybe times are wrong
I shouldn't have waited all these days
But I know I'll find you again
You, stereovision dream
And that day we will pass the heliosphere
But now I'd better open my eyes
I've chased your light for all my life
And now that it's out, I don't know where you are
I feel like I've lost myself in your doubts
I feel like I've been chained to my fears
It's hard to say, but maybe now's too late
It's hard to become what you always wanted no one is like
you you feel so lonely what have I done? I've worked so
hard and today I am what I want you might say I'm a crazy
I have spent whole days
Looking for my way
Hidden by the rain
With the sun I've found
Memories in pieces
And my feelings bound
I've laid the blame on you but now
I know it's you
The one who lets me dream
Ah past relive in my trips inside of you
Gimme relief gimme just another kiss
Ah make me fly through the years of my youth
Ah make me cry make me die lady time
I had been walking for years
In the wrong direction blinded by desire
I've wasted lots of days cheating myself
With easy pastimes
I've laid the blame on you
But now I know it's you
The one who lets me dream
Lady time will lead me
Along the road of life
She exactly knows what I want
Lady time will kill me
And take me where she'll want
But now I get on higher
Have you ever felt
Like a secret sun?
It's the way I feel
With my sweet gal
And in front of me
There's the sirens'queen
She's the only one
I can see
There are million stars
In my fantasy
I would like to see
Them all with you
I would like to go
In the nowhere land
We'll be everywhere
Forever us
No one,no one,no one is like you
You know,I know,you know I love you
If you'll be scared of the night
I'll be there at your side
But it will not be so long
'cause I'm dying for you now
Will I meet you another time,again?
Before I was boring myself into school
And there I was spending my time with some fools
Now I'm just looking for, for a friend
And now that it seems you are the only I need
I'm just running away 'round and around
I am here to know that I'm alone
And you that you've always, ever known you inside
Give me everything you want me to hide
Before I was losing myself in a hole
In my head, i'll be damned
In my head I was walking around, fighting with the lights off
I don't know, I can't see
I don't want to get that light into me
You feel it in the dark on your own
And now we dance, now we dance
Now we dance where the light drained our heaviest hearts
Come meet me in the dark
Off the mark, we're off the mark
Off the mark we saw the place before all the lights were off
And now we're in the dark
Oh come on honey, say what you want to
Oh come on honey, let's just have a look into...
Into the heart. Into the heart. Into the heart.
that wallows in the dark
Into the heart. Into the heart. Into the heart
that wallows in the dark
In my head, I'll be damed
In my head I'll be making a stand; and when we're dead
they'll fill in
I don't know, I can't see
I don't want to get the night into me
Even if life is not as you've always thought
even if there are no words to describe my pain
I just care about myself
and all those like me
I can't wait and waste my time
how long, how long I've waited
Even if life is not as you've always thought
even if there are no words to describe my pain
Now it all sounds right
it's not hard to do
I feel like a rocker king
Martyr's Kiss
She was so high and nice
So young so proud to fly
She came suddenly with a smile
Gave a kiss, closed her eyes
And she went by
I'll wait for you, for your glow
Sweet hands take your life off today
You're history, our safety, name the cause
Great Illusion
All my pains, but why?
I blessed your behaviour
It faded away
I'd have killed myself for you
But you've gone away
And now where are you?
Was our love
True or a great illusion?
My love has gone
It was my sunshine
A daily war
Please then wake me
We are not to know
The meaning of love
My story was
A great illusion
Did you know my faith?
You were my deep religion
The dark behind you
Face The Spider
Now you'll be asking yourself where the damn you are
Nightmares and fears are not only in your mind
Don't be so hopeful coz money won't show you the way
You can't even imagine what you'll find
Shadows of laughter will shake you up these days
Sooner or later they'll come and take us away
Where we will build up our illusions without any hitch
And where we will have all the comfort and plastic
Waiting for the day when you can turn over a new leaf
You'll just live in a world
That you don't know but I can see you
So shut your mind and go straight on
But you don't know where you'll go
Hide yourself and make no sound,
That's all you really have to do
Reputation, meditation, tell me something 'bout the new
Revolution, fast solution, take it easy, shiver and
Face the spider
Face the spider, man!
Hi generation, what have you done today?
Have you let someone else laugh at you again?
And how many joints have you smoked
While they needed us, need us
Walking all those days
In this jungle of traps
By chance as you know
I found out you
Inside of everyone
There's a million of doubts
Nothing that we know is for certain
Who knows,who knows I want you so
I hope,I hope you want me too
Meggy flies with me
On a desert see
You are always here, ah ah
Even you aren't here, ah ah
There's nothing that can stop me
When I am with you
Everything's all right
When I wake up
The first thing we feel
is the deepest truth
The first thing I felt
Was about you
Who knows who knows you want me so
I've just called Ramona
Deep feelings inside me
The sound of your voice is so warm
You color the wings of my heart
Age is not a wall
You give me something
Can touch me
Here is not too far from you
I don't lie to my mind
I'm reaching your heart today
I just saw Ramona
The deepest love I had
A great joy in my mind
All you make shine
They will never
Understand our love
You give me something
Can touch me
You give me something
Above all my loves
With your eyes you touch me
They're not able
To know what we feel
Oh my love,well
Our lives are so fast enought
I miss you
Please don't go away
I want my love
Why our lives are so fast don't know
Give me your love
You,you've got my way
Realized a new one
As no one else
You've got to breath
All my moves
Look up don't fail
Fuck all chain rules
Don't need for kindness
If you don't care for me
Don't lie to me
I need some love now
No need to rail it
Fuck all their rules
Well I can't bear,I hate
Those all main kinds
You have to live and let live
We'll be all right
Well oh I'm an anarchic man
Institutions came from anarchists
Who you think you are?
I love your mutual loyalty
I love your simple modesty
I wrote a song about my confusion
I didn't know it might has confused me
Now I'm gonna write one about fear
And tonight I'll sleep with the light on
News by news my certainties fall down
Day by day the terror increases
Have to run
My blood runs cold
See the spiders
Crawling on me
I'm confused
I'm afraid
I'm a frightened ghost that walks alone
Waiting for the light to shine
And I'm feeling like a flake of snow
Fallen in a puddle
I'm a frightened ghost that walks alone
Waiting for the morning light
And I'm feeling like a flake of snow
Fallen in a gully-hole
I wrote a song about my confusion
And so it's started a revolution
One day you dare to build your own future
To see it fade away the day after
Nothing you can do and nowhere you go
I have never grown up
I feel better when I feel like a child
It's so far away from now
To the time in which you are lost inside
You have to be young
Whenever you want to feel like yourself
Don't be so weak, don't be scared
You can achieve whatever you want
I wanna feel young forever
We just live on the same tree
What do you think about my cries?
Why don't you come away with us?
Why don't you come away with us?
How do you feel now?
Try to see it my way!
What else d'you need
When you're coming to the top?
Can't you feel pleased?
Well I would have done the same
And don't let them
Play the game it's yours to win
Try to repress
Every kind of modesty
I don't want to miss you,
You're my queen
I don't want to see
What I have seen
And can yer feel the sunshine
In your eyes?
Can yer feel the raindrops
On your head?
They've accused me
To have usual selfish claims
What should I say?
That I just care for myself
And for my queen
We will live in Wonderland
With the mushrooms
And all the things
If you had gone,
Would there be anyone singing your feats?
If there were days for a while,
Would you try to seek the aim
We have to find
Walking in and walking out
Illusions of our lives?
Is there a chance to find a way?
Play your cards today
The world is here below your feet
If we were here,
Would we try to stop all the worries?
If there were no different ways,
Would we know about the pain
And happiness?
Oh, how I know we have to grow
The end's always a start
Is there a chance to learn from life?
Look out at the mire
We need to live within the pain
Running to do their own
Fighting without an aim
How can we live our lives?
Illusions come from the mind
Since we are not here to stay
Since they aren't here to play
We run on to make a home
I am losing every control
I fade away
But I'll leave you,I'll find my way
No more I'll fall so down
Now you think you're free again
You think you are pleased
You're sure you forget my name
But you have forgotten that
I don't let you go away
I don't want to miss you dear
Cos you're chained to all my greeds
I will have your dependence
And you'll need me everday
Now I'm only in your mind
I'll become your enemy
And I will steal your daydream
Come on baby you are not in heaven
That's not your heroine
Come on baby you are not in heaven
That's not your heroine
Come on baby you are not in heaven
That's not your heroin
Come on baby you are not in heaven
Just on dirty roads
You can change
Some strange voices
They have called me
They spoke of freedom
I am waiting for a meaning
I just don't know where to go
Two years have already passed
You're still knockin'on my door
But now you are not very sure
So you're at the terminus
Now run as far as you can
Out there you will see the sun
You think that you can't go out
You say that you dont' want to live
So you said you want to die
But I know you will go out
There you'll start your way again
You will grow just like a rose
Come on baby you have found the heaven
And she's your heroine
And from the higher cloud
The Perfect Nothing
Here the perfect nothing
Blind and dark around to kill me
The blame on me when I want an answer
Inside my mind and great illusions
If I overvalue what I see
My mind won't see what is real
I feel so happy and how do you feel?
I'm dead inside of me, was this what you meant?
The whole is falling, the sun is so weak
Now we wait for something
It could be but will never be
Is there a way to come back
From mind's decay and death of life
If you overvalue what you see
Your mind won't see what is real
I feel so happy and how do you feel?
I'm dead inside of me, was this what you meant?
The perfect nothing, this is how I feel
Hey Lord!
How I wish it was true
That it wasn't a dream
But the fucking truth
One day I'll touch with my hands
I'll see with my eyes
And it will be the best
How, how long have we to wait?
How much have we to kill,
To kill for the faith?
Yes how, how much have we to grow?
How deep have we to fall,
To get to the surface?
Hey you, the one who knows
The one who loves
Tell us, tell us how it was
And how it will be
Hey Lord! Give us what we need
And what you forgot
The great illusion for all
I wanna live a different me
Leaving my old mind
In a cup of tea
And chasing the sunshine
Eternally for free
Let me hear your paints
And I let you taste
And touch watcha see
Gimme more and after blow away
Cos I need you so
But I'm not so sure
And I want it more
I wanna kill your different me
Soaking your old mind
In a cup of tea
And chasing your shadow
Eternally for free
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind
And I may not be me
As you may not be you
We are out of us
And into them
And in all this confusion
I'm an ant in delirium
Living Mask
Hey the living mask
Is around to amuse your mind
He takes short delights
And special rights
Mirror of the times,
He looks well tonight
No one's below himself
A puppet show
The happy clown
Hey the retrò mask
He acts upon his needs
He will take the best
As a normal thing
Never shown his soul
He believes in peace
No one's below himself
No-where, now-here
Got more friends than we have
Hey the living mask
Appears and disappears
When it suits him well
Within no fears
Oh my little boy
If he's about to make that noise
Don't let him play
His foolish game
