I think I finally understand
How you could love someone and leave them.
It must be hard to be a man
Holding back so many feelings.
I saw you slip away
Long before you gave reasons
Couldn't hold you down if you wanted to go
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on my pillow
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on my pillow
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on my pillow
Cause there's no other way for me to let go
I didn't wanna even care
I didn't wanna even miss you
Cause you told me you'd be there
Now should I even try to reach you?
I look in the mirror
I see your face in mine
And it's much clearer now
I need you in my life
But, each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow
Cause there's no other way for me to let go
I see it in your eyes
Your laugh is a disguise
It used to be magic to me
You're giving me no choice
I hear it in your voice
And it's so sad to me
But I think forgiveness is the season
Wish you could stay I have my reasons
I'm still trying to hold on
To something that's gone
Can't make you stay here with me
Oh but each time I try,
It's like I'm crying in vain
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow
Cause there's no other way for me to let go
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow
Kiss my wounds, love me tender
Buy me flowers I've never seen
Wake me up from my dreams
Got to bring me French toast an' tea
In the morning light
Fly across country to spend the night
You said you'd steer a boat across the Atlantic
'Cuz you're so fuckin' romantic
I can't stand it
When I look in your eyes
Unconditionalness, sweetness uncompromised
You set the standard for many things
I wasn't sure what it would bring
You're so fuckin' romantic
Other men wouldn't call just to say, "I love you"
Take your time but I miss you
Is it okay if I see you?
I'll kiss you everywhere, anywhere
Damn sure, me
Please let this moment be
You're always tempting me
You're so fuckin' romantic
I can't stand it
When I look in your eyes
Unconditionalness, sweetness uncompromised
You set the standard for many things
I wasn't sure what it would bring
You're so fuckin' romantic
'Cuz you're so fuckin' romantic
'Cuz you're so fuckin' romantic
I can't stand it
When I look in your eyes
Unconditionalness, sweetness uncompromised
You set the standard for many things
I wasn't sure what it would bring
You're so fuckin' romantic
We say the same words at the same time
I start a sentence, you finish mine
Laugh at my jokes when I wanna cry
And when I feel lost
I look in your eyes
Even in front of your boys you wouldn't lie
You say, "I gotta see my baby tonight"
'Cuz you're so fuckin' romantic
I can't stand it
When I look in your eyes
Unconditionalness, sweetness uncompromised
You set the standard for many things
I wasn't sure what it would bring
'Cuz you're so fuckin' romantic
'Cuz you're so fuckin' romantic
I can't stand it
When I look in your eyes
Unconditionalness, sweetness uncompromised
You set the standard for many things
I wasn't sure what it would bring
'Cuz you're so fuckin' romantic
'Cuz you're so fuckin' romantic
'Cuz you're so fuckin' romantic
In my fear,
I fear
We're seas apart in old worlds.
We began,
In vibrant colors,
But one of the things you said
And i dread it.
That everything turns grey,
This is where i stray
I, I want so badly,
To say that these things dont exist anymore.
When that indigo
Creeps upon me i cant deny
That i'm blue,
And not like you
When I look into your eyes at times
It's within them i find
A love i never knew,
Still i'm bound to you.
Something inside so strong,
Wont settle in me somehow, i'm not free.
I want so badly, to say that these things dont exist anymore.
When that indigo creeps apon me i cant deny
That i'm blue.
It's past mistakes not hearts that break,
In moral laws respect they take and
It still effects me to.
If my one enemy is me,
Then tell me how to stay true and not be blamed by you.
I, I want so badly to say that these things
Anymore.
When that indigo
I cant deny that i'm blue.
I, I want so badly to say that these things dont exist anymore.
When that indigo creeps upon me i cant deny
That i'm blue,
I'm searchin for my salvation
Oh yeah
I'm tired of dragging
On and on
On and on
Day by day
Days with days ?
I can feel the pain
The world is resting on my brain
I can feel the hurt of a broken child
She's going insane
I pray that she'll make it home
Home [3X]
Times have changed
But we can rearrange the ills?
Society has swept on my feet
Some words I can't even speak
Still pressin
Movin forward
Blindly
Without a trace
Lookin for a reason to go on
On [3X]
I pray to an unknown God
Please reveal yourself to me
'cause hope is sifting from my hands
Like lost time
I can't make believe
I won't make believe
I can't make believe
When I look into your eyes
Do you know me
I'm searchin for my soul
Searchin on
Praying on
Looking on
I am searching
I am praying
I am looking
Searching on
Praying on
Looking on
Got me a date with a supermodel
I know, I knowI think it's funky
Dinner at the hotel, champagne bottle
Steak and potatoes are better in a bucket
Tell me what is there for pretendin'
Not to know, and who needs proof
I don't need so much to remember
No, no. That's how it is when you tell The truth (ow!)
How many times can somebody lie Till patience runs off course
Keep that in mind when we say goodbye, 'Cause you can't get this stuff no more
That's the thing about self improvement
Don't get me wrong, I plan on gettin' some soon
Outside the wire, somethin's movin'
One point down, now I can see the moon
I'm slicing the time, like a pizza pie
Ya serve up the truth, don't want it anymore
Keep that in mind when we say goodbye
'Cause you can't get this stuff no more
(Whoo!) How many times can somebody lie
Till patience runs off course
Keep that in mind when we say goodbye
Cause you can't get this stuff no more
So many times
You can't get this stuff no more
You better keep that in mind
When we say our goodbyes
Cause you can't get this stuff no more
Ooooh
You caught me
Lookin' at you
Forgive me
But if it's treasures
You're seeking
I'm the one who
Could reach them
It's not the kind of thing
You wanna rush or hesitate
It could go
If you step to me
Just come at me
With honesty and you might be mine
[chorus]
Hold on, got it good babby
Believe me it's all good baby baby
Hold on, got it good baby
Believe me it's all good baby baby
Oooh
So soft and
Effortlessly
I'm fallin'
So suddenly
You touch me
If it should be
I just might let in
Just think we could be anywhere
If i could choose
It'd be right here
And i don't let go easily
But something's taken over me
Hold on, got it good baby
Believe me it's all good baby baby
Hold on, got it good baby
Believe me it's all good baby baby
You're saying that our chemistry
Is poetry in motion
And whispering
So preciously
I second that emotion
Hold on, got it good babby
Believe me it's all good baby baby
Hold on, got it good baby
Believe me it's all good baby baby
Closer to my dreams
Coming over me
I'm gettin' higher
Closer to my dreams
I'm getting higher and higher
Feel it in my sleep
Some times it feels like I'll never go pass here
Some times it feels like I'm stuck forever and ever
When I'm going higher
Closer to my dreams
I'm goin' higher and higher
I ain't gonna sleep
Some times you just have to let it go
(Let it go, let it go)
Leaving all my fears to burn down
Push them all away so I can move on
Closer to my dreams
Feel it all over my being
Close your eyes and see what you believe
I?m moving higher, oh
(Higher)
I?m going higher and higher and higher
(Higher and higher)
Closer to my dreams
(Higher and higher, oh oh)
I?m moving upward and onward and beyond all I can see
(Stretching out my arms, so I can breathe)
Feels so close it's like I can just reach
I can feel my dreams
(Closer to my dreams)
I'm moving closer to my dreams
Some times it feels like you never gon' change
(Never gon' change)
Nobody knows what I go through
Indecisions made me passive
They say I want my cake and I want to eat it too
Less satisfied if I don't, consequences when I do
These lessons, they lead me on my way
but when company is tempting me, I'm turned around
but I might wanna go that way,
don't wanna go that way
Well, it's a catch 22
Damned if I don't, Damned if I do
Yes, it's a catch 22
Damned if I don't, Damned if I do
How many times does it take to learn just one thing,
'cause I keep ending up here
And I'm not a scientist so I just keep on praying that I won't
keep getting the same results each day
I said that I can't be with you
But when you turn away I pull back your hands to stay
(your hands to stay)
So many days turn to years
that brought us here
and we (shied) through time without too many tears
But we still made decisions creating divisions
So many contradictions,
why didn't we listen?
Well, it's a catch 22(catch 22)
Damned if I don't, Damned if I do
Yes, it's a catch 22
Damned if I don't, Damned if I do
( I'm damned if I don't, I'm damned if I do)
'Cause when I see you looking at her
I can't stand it, my eyes can't conceive
You gave her the smile you gave to me
I love you selfishly
I can feel so strongly
Oh, how you (throw) me
but still you know me
Oh, you know me
Yes, it's a catch 22,
Damned if I don't, Damned if I do
(damned if I do)
Yes, it's a catch 22, (catch 22)
Damned if I don't, Damned if I do
(I'm damned if I don't, I'm damned if I do)
To hell with all the promises we made,
the boundaries, the pain
I don't care who's wrong or right
Let's just ignore that tonight, I don't wanna fight
Where you lead me I'll follow
I won't stress on tomorrow
'cause I miss you like the moon misses the sky,
the waves miss the sand,
the leaves miss the breeze flowin' by
So come to me easy,
'cause I know you can please me
You came to me in a dream
All the qualities I asked for
In a man
Just understand me
Love me as you know me
I'll let you know me well
I don't anticipate putting up a gate
Or shelter around my heart.
I intend to find the good in side
Promise the real you
So pure
So I can give you
[chorus]
Butterflykisses
And pleasure you can feel
I'll daze you, even bathe you
If you remain to keep it real
If you love me, love my mother;
Know you my father
Hang with my brother.
Don't discriminate
Or isolate me,
Please let me be myself
I want to wear what I want to wear
And say whats on my mind.
Please be kind
So I can give you
[chorus]
Butterflykisses
And pleasure you can feel
I'll daze you, even bathe you
If you remain to keep it real
Now that you're here
My visions clear.
I'm drenched in love.
Fly like a dove,
And walking through my life with you
Is a blessin oh so sweet-
[chorus]
Butterflykisses
And pleasure you can feel
I'll daze you, even bathe you
[Goapele]
One day alone, sometimes it soothes me,
When that day is through, I'm hoping you'll walk in,
I just miss you, I'll be ok, but it's better with you.
My cornerstone, you're who I go to,
Love that you've shown, doesn't compare to
any I've known, you're the exception to measure.
Pleasure.
My patient love,
forever enduring you,
You.
Oh, you, you.
Oh, you, you.
[Dwele]
Unplug the phone.
No more disturbing our time alone. It's always a journey.
All that I ask of you is to stay past the pain for the pleasure.
Pleasure.
It's been too long, come let me hold you.
Temptation's strong, it's what we go through,
Alas the storm, a new day is born, in the shadows of our love.
[Goapele & Dwele]
One look at you, you see right through me, you know my moods,
you know what I'm thinking, feel what I'm feeling,
cause you're my best friend, true.
Ohhh, you. You.
Ohhh, you. You.
Ohhh, hey.
One look at you, you see right through me, you know my moods,
you know what I'm thinking, feel what I'm feeling,
cause you're my best friend, true.
True.
You see through me.
Ohh, you. You. You. You.
Ohh, you. You. You. You.
[Dwele]
I wanna know what you wanna do
What if I can say there wasn't any rules?
I wanna play, play around,
Tell me if you think that you can get down!
Cause this is what I'm dying for,
I mean, this is what I'm dying to do!
Chorus:
Come here baby, I'll really will touch you
Listen, baby others don't match when
I'm ready to play, I'm ready to play!
Come here baby, whisper in your ear,
Tell you how I'm about to make you feel
I'm ready to play, we can play this game, oh, baby!
I wanna go, where you never been,
This is not what we're trying to...
Said you had a chance, but you really don't know
But I think I can help what you're looking for,
Cause this is what we're living for
I mean, this is what we're dying to do!
Chorus:
Come here baby, I'll really will touch you
Listen, baby others don't match when
I'm ready to play, I'm ready to play!
Come here baby, whisper in your ear,
Tell you how I'm about to make you feel
I'm ready to play, we can play this game, oh, baby, all day!
Listen you should know,
You should know
You'll never be caught,
From the moment I saw you
There was something about you
Just from the look in your eyes
I knew I wanted to stay
How you were licking your lips
I could tell you we're danger
Babe you're the type of boy
Not even love can change
So I know I should leave
But I'm not ready to go
About to ride that wave
Got me in your zone
Caught up in that undertow
Baby you already know
I know I should leave
But something won't let go
Caught up in that undertow
Baby you already know
I know I should leave
But something won't let go
Now when I'm around
You get a little nervous
And it's understood
Cause you're in my zone
It's getting hard to breathe
It feels like nothing can save ya
And I don't want it to seem
Like I already know
You're caught up in that undertow
Baby I already know
You know you should leave
But something won't let go
You're caught up in that undertow
Baby I already know
You know you should leave
But something won't let go
When I hear myself speak
I don't know what I'm saying
I know I'm losing my cool
And I don't want it to show
I'm trying to make it even
Boy you got me off balance
Guess we're both used to being in control
We're caught up in that undertow
Baby I already know
We know we should leave
But something won't let go
We're caught up in that undertow
Baby I already know
We know we should leave
Seeking a summertime love
Just kick it on the low
You know with a vibe and flow
But we didn't know
What the light of day would show
Or if it wasn't meant to grow
And how we'd feel within
What we complain or win
And why you keep a distance
We are emotions [Incomprehensible]
I was afraid of what I was feelin'
Afraid that you would take my heart and go steal it
My pride my soul
Now I know, now I know
'Cuz we were too much the same
I didn't know who to blame
'Cuz I didn't wanna change
We were too much the same
I didn't know who to blame
'Cuz you weren't gonna change
Unfamiliar ways
Came down like rain
Things in myself I couldn't change
But if we coulda chilled then waited a while
But then may now
And shooting stars won't send us running
From each other, from ourselves
And when you got me open
You faked on me
Why'd you tell me that you love me
And then stray away
What you did that day
I promise I would never go waiting
For someone who would never change
'Cuz we were too much the same
I didn't know who to blame
'Cuz I didn't wanna change
We were too much the same
I didn't know who to blame
'Cuz you weren't gonna change
But you can't get something for nothing
So what was mine
Sifted through like lost time
And unclaimed sand in a desert wind
With half my heart I took you in
So I can let you go
'Cuz we were too much the same
I didn't know whoto blame
'Cuz I didn't wanna change
'Cuz we were too much the same
I didn't know who to blame
'Cuz I didn't wanna change
'Cuz we were too much the same
I didn't know who to blame
'Cuz I didn't wanna change
'Cuz we were too much the same
I didn't know who to blame
These are the Daze my friend
We're so far from the end
But we can't wait forever and a day
Forever and a Day
One for your City
Two if you're prissy
Three for the raw real homie
Rollin' wit' me
Four's like the voice in my head
Getting dizzy
Five get it so live
The cops come & get me
Six for the politrix
Seven call the Reverend
Eight DNA certain way
You a felon
Nine feeling fine
Even when the sun shady
Ten that's a dime
Goapele do it crazy
If you miss me when I'm gone
Just know riding on a sky plain
You never know
I could be wrong
Sometimes I'm weak
When I feel strong
Push on
Be strong
Don't wait
Lean on
Sometimes
Pray on
Hold on
Because
These are the Daze
You gotta go for broke
I'm taking all my chances
And if you're scared of transit...
Run for cover
Light is fading
It's getting dark
The sun is fading
Oh they told me
Live today
Like your gonna live forever
Tomorrow paves the way
For the rest of your life
Even if we lose some along the way
It's not worth the hate
No time to hate
Black prophet
Still grandma collar poppin
Do anything for a twenty dollar profit
They push into yo kitchen til yo momma holla stop it
If it ain't first class
Then I'mma try the cockpit
Had some ups & downs
Been dumped around
It's nothing
''cause we ain't sufferin' now
For life we lusted
In God we trust
But now don't discuss it
We going for bust
Hold tight
It's not
Too late
Take it
Right now
It's in
Your hands
Because
These are the days we gotta go for broke
I'm taking all my chances
And if you're scared of transit...
Run for cover
Light is fading
Its getting dark
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here
Baby tell me I’m the only
How without me you’d be lonely
Wrap your arms around and hold me
Cause there’s no other place I’d rather be
I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna leave
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here
There’s nothing in this world
No face I’d rather see
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here
There’s a million things
That I could do or say to prove
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here
But there’s no other place I’d rather be
I wanna be with you
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here with you
Right now like this
I just wanna be right here with you
Right now like this
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here
Life used to be hallow
Before I meet you
Now you fill me
So I ain’t worried about tomorrow
I’m already living out my future fantasy
And my heart can follow
Exactly what it feels like
There’s a lot of things we don’t know
But I’m sure there’s no other place I’d rather be
I don’t wanna go
No. I don’t wanna leave
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here
There’s nothing in this world
No face I’d rather see
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here
There’s a million things
That I could do or say to prove
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here
But there’s no other place I’d rather be
I wanna be with you
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here with you
Right now like this
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here with you
Right now like this
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here
Just say you feel me, we’re where we wanna be
(I just wanna, I just wanna be right here)
If you wondered now it’s plain to see
(I just wanna, I just wanna be right here)
Every moment isn’t meant to last
Let’s savor this before it’s passed
(I just wanna, I just wanna be right here)
Baby I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna leave
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here
Here with you
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here
Here with you
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here
Make sense of the world when it’s upside down
Spinning so fast, but for some it just ends
Keep moving on quiet as kept
It hasn’t been long, hasn’t sunken in yet
Then I fall into pieces
I’m here and you’ve left
Fall into pieces
I’ll never see you again
Separate like a puzzle floating in space
So lost in this galaxy of life
So lost
There’s so many things we haven’t said
There’s so many places never went
Wish you could visit every now and then
Oh I keep pretending like I understand
Was it something that I could prevent?
Oh I miss you like a piece is gone
So lost
Cause I fall into pieces
I’m here and you’ve left
Oh I fall into pieces
Never seeing you again
I separate like a puzzle and I’m floating in space
So lost in this galaxy of life
So I rise and fall like the tide
And I’m so full and empty inside
All those memories linger in my mind
Wish you were here with me
I said I fall into pieces
I’m here and you’ve left
Oh I fall into pieces
I’ll never see you again
I separate like a puzzle and I’m floating in space
Credit cards don’t mean a thing
Canary diamonds on a wedding ring
I’ll just say it, cause I mean it
Baby I love you
Be there for me in my time of need
Find other ways to fill my fantasy
And just say it, when you mean it
Baby I love you
It might seem like money
Money’s got it all
But money still could fall babe
It ain’t fail proof
Like our love is
No tennis bracelet shining on my wrist
There’s more important things on top of my list
So just squeeze me, and believe me
Baby I love you
If I could take back every word I said
If I could rewind our story
Make it easy instead
I wouldn’t change it
Baby baby baby I love you
It might seem like money
Money’s got it all babe
But money still could fall babe
It ain’t fail proof
Like our love is
[x2]
Oh baby, come away with me
It will be a great escape
Escape material things
Our love will last a lifetime babe
Our love and the air we breathe
Are the last things for free
It might seem like money
Money’s got it all babe
But money still could fall babe
It ain’t fail proof
Like our love is
If we had a place to go
If we had somewhere to be
Can somebody let it go
Here's your chance so let it be
I don't wanna spell it out
It's between the lines just read
How the story ends you'll find
Rock me to sleep
It'll be like milk and honey
Baby I can tell you want me
Ooh I can feel your heartbeat
And the feelings coming over me
Just lay back, relax, let me blow your mind
Let's take our time
Like honey it feels so warm inside
No matter the day
Your losing the night
No matter the hour
I'm telling you now
Just follow my lead
I'll open like a flower
Honey by the nectur sweet
From the ocean so deep
On the shores I'll hope we'll meet
And fit together perfect...
Just like milk and honey
Baby I can tell you want me
Ooh I can hear your heartbeat
And the feelings coming over me
Just lay back, relax, boy you blow my mind
Let's take our time
Like honey it feels so warm inside
I don't want the feeling to leave
I'm killin em softly
Never had honey so sweet
Now that you got me
Just pull me closer in
Ooh slowly
You give me all I need
Just like milk and honey
Baby I can tell you want me
Ooh I can feel your heartbeat
And the feelings coming over me
Just lay back, relax, boy you blow my mind
Let's take our time
Like honey it feels so warm inside
Just lay back, relax, let me blow your mind
Like honey it feels so warm inside
I won't even think twice
There's no reason to be shy
Oh I, I can't lie
Don't mean to bother but I wish
That you would give it to me right
(Right)
I'm not the type to holla
But somehow you know just what I like
(What I like)
Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
You don't know how hard I try
(Hard I try)
Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
Just come on and love me right
(Love me right)
Sometimes it's long before I'm home
I spend the late nights on the phone
(Phone)
No castle waiting in the sky
We make believe that we're alone
(You and I)
Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
You don't know how hard I try
(Hard I try)
Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
Baby, you can love me right
(Love me right)
I get caught up when I'm stressed out
I need a place to unwind
Some pushing, pulling anyway
You had me dreaming all the time
Oh I, I've never found someone
Who'd fulfill my every need
It's someone gorgeous
It would be you, you
Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
You don't know how hard I try
(Hard I try)
Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
Baby, you can love me right
(Love me right)
Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
You don't know how hard I try
(Hard I try)
Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
Baby, you can love me right
(Love me right)
He was fourteen years old
All his life he never left the west side
I walked past him everyday heading downtown
Always on the go he was the kind of guy
You never gave your real name to
So young but still trying to game you
But what he was going through, I never knew
Its such a same how people change
And I never really knew his name
But it takes more than two to raise a youth
And for that we all did lose
Because if one of us had noticed you
How I wish I was there for you
I was busy filling my own shoes
All his life he heard you won't amount to nothing
Low expectations
In need of money few too many choices
and no patience
So what do you know for a good cash flow
you could always sell it's easy to fit the role
But when your living the fast life
he considered all times a go
Its such a same how people change
And I never really knew his name
But it takes more than two to raise a youth
And for that we all did lose
Because if one of us had noticed you
How I wish I was there for you
I was busy filling my own shoes
Is that how he came around
For his child he'll know now
'Cause he left him with bruises
His words just abusive
The love he didn't show
And what his boy was going through
He had never imagined
But when love turns to hate
It's the worse out of passion
His son was bold
And by then it was too late
From his friend they get console
Then his hands, his shoes
The life or death they couldn't hold
Oh- two seconds cold
He was fourteen years old
Locked up until he's old
It's such a same how moments change
And I never really knew your name
But it takes more than two to raise a youth
And for that we all did lose
Because if one of us had noticed you
How I wish I was there for you
I was busy filling my own shoes
How moments, how moments change
I wish I could turn it all round for you
I wish I was there for you
I was busy filling my own shoes
And two seconds can change your whole life
[Incomprehensible] all over you
There was boy 'bout two years old
That's much too young too see what would unfold
His dad so bold, so full of lies
Caught up in things that would take his life
He'd leave behind old words unsaid
His loved ones left to deal with it
When his boy got older with less than enough guidance
Needed more assurance, a little strength and courage
But if he knew what he knows now
He may be with us still
If he knew what he knows now, oh
There was girl 'bout three years old
To laugh and play should have been what goes
Her family moved from place to place
Free spirits and money they couldn't waste
She'd be alone more times than few
Too many men trusted and out of view
One took her in and used his mind
Scarred her inside and changed her life
So when she had daughters of her own
Her memories could no longer escape her
They affected all the choices that she would make
But if she knew what she knows now
She wouldn't take the blame
If she knew what she knows now
I was the girl who felt so strong
'Bout anything in this world when I saw wrong
I analyze, sometimes cry alone
When it got too much I had a place to turn
I wish that I could heal your pain
Capture the truth, secrets filled with shame, oh
'Cuz if you want I'll tell the world
All the things you couldn't say
And hope that you can find your way
'Cuz I know what I know now
I was preparing for today
If we knew what we know now
We could have made a better day
If we knew what we know now
We'd know there was a different way
If we knew what we know now
But we all learn by example
We can become our worst fear
Certain lessons we should hold on
Some don't serve us anymore
Our parents raised us how they knew how
They didn't know a better way
I just try as hard you could
Don't wanna make the same mistake
Hope that you can find your way
Hush little baby,
Your momma is coming back soon
Trust me now baby
I’m working so hard for you
I know your daddy is gone
Maybe your daddy was wrong
Listen now baby,
Your momma will take care of you
You know I love you
I’d move a mountain with my hands if I had to
Anything for you
Baby believe me
I hope you can see
That your momma loves you
I love you
Hush little sunshine
I’m on my way home to you
I’ll tuck you in
While I read you a story or two
No matter the day that I’ve had
Baby I miss you so bad
Listen my baby
Your momma will take care of you
This world is crazy
But you’ll be alright
You’ll grow up happy
And that’s all I’ll need in this life
All I need in my life
You know I love you
I’d move a mountain with my hands if I had to
Anything for you
Baby believe me
I hope you can see
That your momma loves you
I love you
Sometimes I feel
Like I can’t do enough
I’m just trying to catch up and be there
When you need me to be
And I don’t ever want to leave
You know I love you
I’d move a mountain with my hands if I had to
Anything for you
Baby believe me
I hope you can see
That your momma loves you
I know sometimes I push you
Say all that I do
See if you'll still stay
I like to have my way
If I took you for granted
Just know, I never meant it
I'll try to be thoughtful
And make sure my heart's pure
Good love's hard to hold
That's why I'm squeezing tight
Sometimes I don't feel you, you don't feel me
We're distant, we need space
But I'm coming back for you
'Cause you're my true blue
You're a Capricorn, I'm Cancer
And sometimes we can't relate
But we meet at the center
That's where love is tender
You're my first phone call, my best friend
You could never be replaced
If I'm not there beside you
I'm just a hop, skip, a jump away
I question everything
It's 10 years and I still can't get it straight
Just know that I love you
Always thinking of you
Good love's hard to hold
That's why I'm squeezing tight
Good love's hard to hold
That's why I'm squeezing tight
I love that you're so truthful
So willing to work it through, you love so brave
My passion is your flame
I don't want you to change
You kiss me softly under covers
And you never make me beg
You even say thank you
And sorry when you're rude
I love you today in the purest way, in the purest way
I love you today in the purest way, in the purest way
Never, never, never, never
Never, never, never, never
Never been so sure before, no
Never, never, never, never
Never, never, never, never
Never been so pure
I love you today in the purest way, in the purest way
I love you today in the purest way, in the purest way
For you I'd leave, I'd fly away
For you I'd leave, I'd fly away
Every night before I sleep, I try to find you in my window
But you're so very far away and though everyone can see you
But I look at you different sometimes, I wish, you'd shine for me
Oh I, I can feel you, I can't touch you, it's not the same without you
My world won't spin without you, when I see you you know what I'll do
Just that I'd like to have you, I'd always have to share you
For you I'd leave, I'd fly away
For you I'd leave, I'd fly away
Sun won't set until you come, I wish, I could be the one
You pull in like a tide for the sea, you disappear I wonder, why?
And I can't wait till goes to night, it's not the same when you're not here
Oh I, I can feel you, I can't touch you, it's not the same without you
My world won't spin without you when I see you, you know what I'll do
Just that I'd like to have you, I'd always have to share you
For you I'd leave, I'd fly away
For you I'd leave, I'd fly away
For you I'd leave, I'd fly away
Baby, just fly away
For you I'd leave, I'd fly away
For you I'd leave, I'd fly away
For you I'd leave, I'd fly away
And now the sun is setting
The stars are almost shining
As summer was ending, you were walking in
It seemed my life was falling
But in this season we were friends
Six days into spring is where our story begins
You didn't rush a thing
But you knew you would win
I never thought you'd be the only one
I dreamt of fairy tales, that's how we begun
But I was waiting for some magical moment
That would prove to me, forever would be fine
Meanwhile my first love was standing first in line
One of the first times I didn't feel alone
Is when I was in your arms, you always made me feel at home
We watched the sunrise 'cause the night had slipped away
And from then until now, we've been through some different phases
But you love the winter, love the challenge
Always managed to think that we would make it
I never thought you'd be the only one
I dreamt of fairy tales, that's how we begun
But I was waiting for some magical moment
That would prove to me, forever would be fine
Meanwhile my first love was standing first in line
So let me get used to things 'cause Gradual's my name
I don't dive into the cold, I get in slow but every day
I'm making peace with loving you, peace with being me
Any, any pieces of us, I claim them all today
I never thought you'd be the only one
I dreamt of fairy tales, that's how we begun
But I was waiting for some magical moment
That would prove to me, forever would be fine
Meanwhile my first love was standing first in line
Standing first in line
They'll make you think it's the only way
'Cause there's always a price to pay
But it's your road and your choice to make
Start new today
And I know we'll find a way
I know we'll make a way
I know we'll find a way
Let's start here today
On November 2nd, election day
I will be thinking that things could change
I voted for the lesser of evil
How many relate?
And it didn't scream, didn't move away
Instead of [Incomprehensible] ending the hurt it bring
Someone, 2005 to the 1958
Well, I know
And I know we'll find a way
I know we'll make a way
I know we'll find a way
Let's start here today
I wonder how far things could escalate
Before the streets light up in rage
Civilry slipping away
What more will it take?
'Til it's your cousin that dies of AIDS
'Til your pregnant daughter can't find a place
'Til most of the youth end up locked away
A chance we can't take
I know we'll find a way
I know we'll make a way
I know we'll find a way
Let's start here today
I know we'll find a way
I know we'll make a way
I know we'll find a way
You...
Me...
Maybe...
Well i was wondering
If you'd fly away with me
We'd go to a promise land
Some place, sometime to breath
You know i got faith in you
Put a little trust in me
We've got what eachother needs
So baby just believe
[Pep Love]
I do
You and I, I
You and me, we
Could come together and set this wourld free, please
Believe in this dream we gon weave
'cause we believe in this theavin'

Goapele- Different
Im lookin at you from a distance,
I'm wondering how all my feelings changed
Do you remember even half the shit we used to do?
Who we used to be?
I wish it was different
All these feelings inside me
And I still believe
Guy:
I mean, what is you sayin? (Damn)
And it could be different
You know I miss the butterflies
The look in your eyes I couldnt change
And it could be different
And now it feels like it's over babe
And it could be different
If you could realize you need to set aside just a little time
And it could be different
I know we can make it better baby
I know I cant keep livin old memories
What if where this is turning, this isnt meant to be?
We used to get lifted
And now we crave it so insatiably
And lately Ive been missing all the little things
Guy:
Well maybe I got comfortable with the way you would treat me
Hot meals cooked up, the way you would feed me
Im selfish how could I let my fear defeat me
Scared of something different now I see you complete me
Now hey, I dont like to argue a bit
Promise Ill change, if I aint gotta hear ya lip
(but if you would listen)
Im sorry Im sayin- but you dont expect
You dont listen you no different
Save ya breath.
And it could be different
(I know you sayin I should change, throughout time I aint the same in my ways)
And it could be different
(I see your feelings start to fade, its all my fault huh, ya feelings aint the same)
And it could be different
(Ma why is you mad? Acting like everything I do is bad)
And I could be different
(You got some issues too, but face it there aint nothing we cant get through)
Youre high Im low and jealous distance seems to grab ahold
I miss you so and makin love still feels like comin home
We fuss we fight I reunite but then you make it right
Youll see why I cant stand the sight of you not in my life
And it could be different
You know I miss the butterflies
The look in your eyes I couldnt change
And it could be different
And now it feels like its over baby
And it could be different
If you could realize you need to set aside just a little time
And it could be different
I know we can make it better baby
Guy:
Lets take it back to the picnics at Tilden, flicks with the children
Talks by the lake dem walks through your building
The feelin of fresh love, cant dismiss this
I know that you miss it, my permanent Misses
Permanent kisses, from flirtin and wishin
Before all the back and forth huffin and hissin
Hear me and listen I remember our mission
So Im willin to change if you say that Im different
And it could be different
(I know you sayin I should change, throughout time I aint the same in my ways)
And it could be different
(I see your feelings start to fade, its all my fault, huh? feelings aint the same)
And it could be different
(Ma why is you mad huh? Acting like everything I do is bad)
And I could be different
When you see me standing in here
'Cause I didn't walk alone
There are pieces of you landing in here
Somehow to make me whole
'Cause you
You're the darker side of the moon
Always in the shadows
Leaving me to shine, shine, shine
You're the one who carried me through
Held me in the sky
Leaving me to shine, shine
Any time you pushed me
When it felt like too much
I know it made me grow
And looking from the distance
At a person who, who I wouldn't know
But you
You're the darker side of the moon
Always in the shadows
Leaving me to shine, shine, shine
You're the one who carried me through
Held me in the sky
Leaving me to shine
From the stretches of the world
And more perspective than I wished for
You told me that there is more
Than what a pleasant change
You never question worth
You made a path wherever I go
Giving far more than I asked for
Oh you
You're the darker side of the moon
Always in the shadows
Leaving me to shine
You're the darker side of the moon
Always in the shadows
Leaving me to shine
You're the one who carried me through
Held me in the sky
You know I'm crushed out on you, you alone
If I thought you had my number I'd stay home by the phone
Day and night I sit and wait for you to call me
But only time will show how far it can go
His voice, it comforts me, sweet and raspy tone of love
It trails me into dreams, I wanna wake up to it, full blast
His name alone gives me a rush, what a feeling
I can feel it in my bones, a spirit I'm craving in my soul
You could feel it all but you don't even know
That I'm crushed out on you, you alone
If I thought you had my number I'd stay home by the phone
Day and night I sit and wait for you to call me
But only time will show how far this can go
I'm longing for the space and time to chill with you
Thinking of the ways that I could keep my cool
But this brown eyed girl and brown eyed boy
Time stood still and passed us by
'Cause baby I, I've been waiting for a little time
Oh, and you were so beautiful and [Incomprehensible]
You're my kind of guy, if I had a type of guy, I'd say it's you
So don't let them bring you down
'Cause right about now I like having you around
And if it's real that's where hearts resides
And I'm crushed out on you, you alone
If I thought you had my number I'd stay home by the phone
Day and night I sit and wait for you to call me
But only time will show how far this can go
If you think of me half as much as I do you
Confide in me, let's play for keeps
And I can tell you all the things I longed to say
The future wants, we'll find a way and we can let it go
'Cause I'm crushed out on you, you alone
If I thought you had my number I'd stay home by the phone
Day and night I sit and wait for you to call me
But only time will show how far this can go
I'm crushed out on you, you alone
If I thought you had my number I'd stay home by the phone
Day and night I sit and wait for you to call me
Got me a date with a supermodel
I know, I knowI think it's funky
Dinner at the hotel, champagne bottle
Steak and potatoes are better in a bucket
Tell me what is there for pretendin'
Not to know, and who needs proof
I don't need so much to remember
No, no. That's how it is when you tell The truth (ow!)
How many times can somebody lie Till patience runs off course
Keep that in mind when we say goodbye, 'Cause you can't get this stuff no more
That's the thing about self improvement
Don't get me wrong, I plan on gettin' some soon
Outside the wire, somethin's movin'
One point down, now I can see the moon
I'm slicing the time, like a pizza pie
Ya serve up the truth, don't want it anymore
Keep that in mind when we say goodbye
'Cause you can't get this stuff no more
(Whoo!) How many times can somebody lie
Till patience runs off course
Keep that in mind when we say goodbye
Cause you can't get this stuff no more
So many times
You can't get this stuff no more
You better keep that in mind
When we say our goodbyes
Cause you can't get this stuff no more
They're closing all the schools down
Some teachers work for free now
And libraries won't be found
'Cause there's not enough
Can you see a change in your town
Small business close it's [Incomprehensible]
I'm trying to sort it out
What we're giving up
Basically there are people left out
From living comfortably can we figure it out
I've been waiting restlessly for the words to a song
That could change it all, change it all, change it all
I never found a 9 to 5
That was worth it from my soul 'til I
I pursued what brought joy in my life
And there's something for us all
And I still think it is my right
And it's the last and one of few
To get the luxury for learning
Something I could use
Ohh, basically there are people left out
From living comfortably can we figure it out
I've been waiting restlessly for the words to a song
That could change it all, change it all, change it all
(If the words could change it all)
(Change it all)
So many laws are changing
They say it's the price for war
We send over, he spend billions
It's hard to believe that years ago people died to fight
But history feels so far away
We're not fighting for our lives anymore
It's hard to know what's really worth fighting for
Or is it killing and dying on the streets
Ohh, basically there are people left out
From living comfortably can we figure it out
I've been waiting restlessly for the words to a song
That could change it all
Ohh, basically there's enough for us all
So why can't we somehow figure it out
I've been waiting restlessly for the words to a song
That could change it all, change it all, change it all
(If the words could change it all)
Change it all, change it all
If a song could change it all
Nobody knows what I go through, indecisions made me passive
They say I want my cake and I wanna eat it too
Less satisfied if I don't, consequences when I do
These lessons, they lead me on my way
But when company is tempting me, I'm turned around
But I might wanna go that way
(Don't wanna go that way)
Well, it's catch 22
Damned if I don't, damned if I do
Yes, it's catch 22
(Catch 22)
Damned if I don't, damned if I do
(Damned if I do)
And how many times does it take to learn just one thing
'Cause I keep ending up here?
And I'm not a scientist so I just keep on praying that I won't
Keep getting the same results each day
And I said that I can't be with you
But when you turn away I pull back your hands to stay
(Your hands to stay)
So many days turn to years that brought us here
And we shied through time without too many tears
But we still made decisions, creatin' divisions
So many contradictions, why didn't we listen?
Well, it's a catch 22
(Catch 22)
Damned if I don't, damned if I do
(Damned if I do)
Yes, it's a catch 22
(Catch 22)
Damned if I don't, damned if I do
'Cause when I see you looking at her
I can't stand it, my eyes can't conceive
You gave her the smile you gave to me
I love you selfishly and I can feel so strongly
Oh, how you throw me but still you know me
Oh, you know me
But it's a catch 22
(Catch 22)
Damned if I don't, damned if I do
Yes, it's a catch 22
(Catch 22)
I'm damned if I don't, damned if I do
(Damned if I do)
Oh, it's a catch 22
(Catch 22)
Damned if I don't, damned if I do
(Damned if I do)
Yes, it's a catch 22
I’ve had some starless nights left in darkness
I’ve walked down roads with no direction
Somehow I find my way within
The sun will rise, the day will begin
And as sure as the dawn
The world keeps turning on
First you’re here then you’re gone
Time waits for no one
I gotta move on
Until the break of dawn
Keep moving until you reach the sun
I gotta move on
Can’t stop ‘til the break of dawn
I’ll keep on moving on
Until I reach the sun
Until I reach the sun
I’ve lost some love but I’m still standing
With that came growth and understanding
I’ve walked for miles I’ll keep steadfast
I’ll leave my footprints in the sand
And as sure as the dawn
The world keeps turning on
First we’re here then we’re gone
Time waits for no one
I gotta move on
Until the break of dawn
Keep moving until you reach the sun
I gotta move on
Can’t stop ‘til the break of dawn
I’ll keep on moving on
Until I reach the sun
Until I reach the sun
When times get rough and things get bad
Don’t let go don’t loose your head
You may not see tomorrow
Play your hand take a chance
Live your life with no regret
That’s what it’s all about
And as sure as the dawn
The world keeps turning on
First you’re here then you’re gone
Time waits for no one
I gotta move on
Until the break of dawn
Keep moving until you reach the sun
Until you reach the sun
Can’t stop ‘til the break of dawn
I’ll keep on moving on
Until I reach the sun
I gotta move on
Until the break of dawn
Keep moving until you reach the sun
Until you reach the sun (I gotta move on)
Can’t stop ‘til the break of dawn
I’ll keep on moving on
Until I reach the sun
How can I go on, dawn is breaking
But it's yours for taking
I'm losing the battle of the heart
Every time it turns to spring
I think of you again and how I long to fly, fly free
I'm standing at the edge of something beautiful
But it hurts to try I'm scared it won't arrive
Love everlasting but the dawn is breaking
But it's yours for taking
I'm losing the battle of the heart, oh umm hum oh
I'm losing the battle of the heart, umm oh
I don't want to surrender
But that's when I can commend this thing
There always comes this sweet hello
And I feel way too far
On the edge of something beautiful
I never realized
Just how to separate the two
Fantasy from truth and running into you
Then all of the reasons keep flashing before me
But I can't do and I thought I was through
The feeling was done, the battle was over, it's not over
I'm losing the battle of the heart, oh
Is it crazy I thought I could win, oh
I'm sitting in my room
Thinking back on you memories pass
My head was leaned against your face
Partly on your shoulder, curving your neck
I tried to clear my thoughts of stress
And let go of the day
How it began whispered your name
Soft white lights between us falling
Forming into precious flowers, chartreuse
Beautiful and floating down on us
Sparkles flying towards us dancing
All around us vanish in air, vanish in air
Left before you knew a future holding you
All you saw of me, my heart should speak for me
Then you'd understand that push away
It craves compassion and strong arms to hold her
You and me revolving, angel wings fluttering
Orange gold, sunsets bold, star filled nights
Sweet as fantasia and still a glow surrounding you
The dandelions blew our wishes to the wind
Come and bring him back again
Soft white lights between us falling
Forming into precious flowers, chartreuse
Beautiful and floating down on us
Sparkles flying towards us dancing
All around us vanish in air
And I wonder how you felt
(I was melting inside)
Opened my eyes
(Felt so bright I was blind)
The car we hadn't left
I closed the door behind
(And I wished you would take me away)
You left before I waved by then it was too late
I wished on the moon I'd always remember
You and me revolving, angel wings fluttering
Orange gold, sunsets bold, star filled nights
Sweet as fantasia
Soft white lights between us falling
Forming into precious flowers, chartreuse
Beautiful and floating down on us
Sparkles flying towards us dancing
Awake in bed at 4am
Awake in bed
Cuz lately sleep ain't been my friend
you leave me with no happy end
you said it all keeps
and even though I might complain
you know I feel the same ole way about you, babe
I'll love you till the very end
I love you, I can't see my life without you
We might be a long way from heaven
But I won't give end
No, not like this
I feel it is my Saturn return
There's a lot we can win
Just not like this
I see us pass the sleepless nights
I see us pass the silent fights and arguing
We'll make it through the ? phases
We'll make it through the stomach aches and crying, tears
Somehow we're back to fear again
Somehow we're back to questioning or leaving
There's never been a silent end
There's never been a ? to spend without you
We might be a long way from heaven
But I won't give end
No, not like this
I feel it is my Saturn return
There's a lot we can win
Just not like this
Silky soft words are forgotten
But you treat me ?
Come inside, I'll keep you warm
Though it hurts me, leaves me torn
Every time you lend a hand
Our love outlasts the storm again
Again
Again
We might be a long way from heaven
But I won't give end
No, not like this
I feel it is my Saturn return
There's a lot we can win
He was fourteen years old
All his life he never left
The west side (oh)
I walked past him everyday
Heading downtown
Always on the go
He was the kind of guy you never gave your real name to
So young but still trying to game you
But what he was going through
I never knew
It's such a shame
How people change
And I never really knew his name
But it takes more than two to raise a youth
And for that we all did lose
Because if one of us had noticed you
How I wish I was there for you
I was busy filling my own shoes
All his life
He heard "You won't amount to nothing"
Low expectations
In need of money
Few too many choices
And no patience
So what do you know
For a good cash flow (oh)
You can always sell
It's easy to fit the role
But when your living the fast life
He considered all times a go
Its such a shame
How people change
and I never really knew his name
But it takes more than two to raise a youth
And for that we all did lose
Because if one of us had noticed you
How I wish I was there for you
I was busy filling my own shoes
His dad hardly came around
For his child he worn out
Cause he left him with bruises
His words just abusive
The love he didn't show
And what his boy was going through
He had never imagined
But when love turns to hate
It's the worse out of passion
His son was bold
And by then it was too late
From his friend __________ (?)
Then his hands, his shoes
The life or death the trigger'd hold
Oh...
Two seconds cold
He was fourteen years old
Locked up until he's old
Its such a shame
How moments change
And I never really knew your name
But it takes more than two to raise a youth
And for that we all did lose
Because if one of us had noticed you
How I wish I was there for you
I was busy filling my own shoes
How moments
How moments change...
I wish I could turn it all around (noticed you)
We all did lose
I wish I was there for you
I busy filling my own shoes
And two seconds can change a whole life
Well, three strikes your out
I'll tell you when it's all over and down
We all did, we all did lose
Ruthlessness and greed have definitely priority
for the advantage of a commanding, oppressing minority!
they’re not concerned if children and women are raped and killed
none of them sees friends dying, in their hands the guns.
for them people starve, in dead, bony bodies flew red blood.
Red blood of guiltiness on the exploiting hands of the responsible ones.
Hey, you „innocent“ one, your turn in this „master&slave-game;“
The murders of animals for consumption, it is the same.
These defenceless creatures, these forgotten souls,
Perished, tortured in masses and for some dickhead’s fun shot
exterminated, killed for luxury, absolutely misunderstood,
cages and slaughterhouses are covered with red blood.
So no chance to deny your responsibility,
Your guilt is much more complex, than it seems…
Your so fucking stupid pride of a nation, you were born into
- a nation of blind puppets, you’d kill and die for!
Why aren’t you able to respect other’s dignity
Instead ignorance support mass murders, your narrowness is also fucking poor!
Fuck, it’s not that hard to see though you’re taught to ignore
And accept these hierarchies and injustice, yeah man, but be sure:
Selfish they take power and the right to judge
of every living being, but they’re nothing more
Than inhuman hypocrites and if THEY will be shot,
I’ve laid awake in bed so many nights,
wondering who would tell me, what’s wrong or right
-well, it’ surely ain’t you!
I see the disappointment in my mom’s eyes,
they’re sad and empty, but she keeps telling herself lies
‘bout her perfect life, perfectly organised,
but a 40-hour-work week is not my meaning of life.
This is not free choice- this is fuck!
I have the right to reproduce YOUR opinions!
I have the right to choose the brand of my clothes
I have the right to look uniformly like you smugs!
Mass media tell me what to do
and to think , but yours it not MY truth!
See, the governments use police brutality
to make us understand the system of conformity!
Still I’ve got no idea, what to do
with my life, but I’d rather be seen
as a useless, lazy looser than being a
Big boy, don’t be sad,
it’s no shame to be that fat.
You loose once again,
doubting if you ever can
hold someone tight and
do something right and
please these people you dislike
…your biggest dream so far!
And we’re so concerned about what
others might think.
And how we act in their eyes.
So let me be your friend,
I don’t know you well,
but your reputation is alright.
Maybe I won’t care if you leave tonight.
And everyone smiles- sometimes
And everyone cries- sometimes
And everyone dies- one time!
Sit down, next to me,
show me your favourite toy
- everyone’s got one.
What was the tune your mother sang
that could make you happy when
you couldn’t sleep at night?
I can’t remember mine, but I guess
it was similar to yours.
Cute daddy’s girl, you should be glad,
you’ve got all the stuff big boy never had.
And all girls in class want to be your friend.
You only wish there’d be one who does not pretend!
Dad can’t hear your whining,
he’s hardly home.
And your nanny hates you
cuz she’ll never own
half of your property, never knowing
you’d give it away for a good night kiss…
…You’ll get used to it
and make the same mistakes…
Second chances are failed so easily
- just like the first one and the last
- at least they will come for sure.
See, there’s no need to worry (‘bout consequences…)
as everything is gonna wither soon.
We won’t leave our tracks in time…
Just unimportance and simplicity
we all have in common,
it’s connecting us- no one minds.
And in the end
the sun would still be burning.
And in the end
earth would still be turning,
The endless cycle works just perfectly
HALLELUJA!
WE reached our destiny
We that's the human race
made cold war history
and everybody wants to embrace...
But WAIT!
we're waitin' for catastrophy.
so WELCOME
to the 21st century!
Oh ! Poor!
Oh Poor America!
They came in through the front door
they smashed into your face
and broke your teeth
HUMILIATION!
the people want an act of war -for democracy!
you talk of a crusade to restore -peace! GOD BLESS!!!
So my friends, look back
at your foreign policy !
fighting against your enemy
has been worth a cheque
now somebody sends it back
return to sender
back to big spender
par avion ! pas de pardon!
c'est la vie, mon ami!
Well, call it defense, SAM
but where's your enemy?
is it a bunch of fools
or is it the islam ?
Call it Talibanistan.
now your bombing a certain nation
but its no national conflict
it's just
THE CLASH OF CIVILISATIONS
Welcome to the art of war
got no fronts and borders
it's BRANDNEW and never seen before:!
I wake up, but I keep my eyes closed...
I don't wanna wince in the light !
Cause even with closed eyes
my brain wants to show me
a firework flashing so bright !
My mouth is an ashtray,
there's vomit in my bed ! One of
the ten beers must have been bad !
My bathroom-light's broken
my toothpaste is gone;
this day seems to become big fun.
I feel rising anger and it comes to hate
as I slip on a dirt-covered plate.
I put on my jeans and head for the door
to go to the grocery-store...
This is when I met Paul !
...and I punched him in the face !
he didn't understand at all...
the only reason was that he
just had been unfortunately
at the wrong time in the wrong place
and that's all!
I'd never seen him before
but that was meaningless to me
I watched him struggle and then fall,
I didn't know his name was Paul !
Somebody must have called the cops
...and they didn't hesitate to arrest me instantly.
this was when my gigglin' stopped.
but then everything changed,
as one of the cops saw paul...
I felt totally strange
when I heard him call:
"Hey; guys, be cool, let this man be, don't you see, this is Paul?!"
and the other two laughed ......and set me free.
From the day of this short story
in our hood Paul came to glory
as the loser of the week
he's the hitman in our street
every time you feel so shitty
in your self-constructed pity
feel like lost in endless masses
and you wanna kick some asses
Go outside and look for PAUL!
A look and captived
-sudden endorphine rush, making me high
Her beauty – attractive,
take a deep breath, just an internal sigh.
Standing in front of her,
can’t pretend coolness or even say a word.
Imaging a tender
innocent kiss, her turn-away hurts.
Chorus:
Am I flying, or just dying,
-seems I can’t figure out at all.
What’s this confusion in my head?
-feels I’m about to take the fall!
Alone in the nights,
depressions and doubts, but the pain's bittersweet.
Caressing her soft skin in my dreams,
oh, why can’t I simply stay asleep?!
Chorus
Next time that we meet
- nervous, childish helpless, like the very first time.
No more self confidence
Now you can’t understand the whining
of exaggerating people trying
to explain the world needs a social global change.
Your best friends are quite big screens
creating a new reality
(overdose of) hypnotic inputs, no need to rearrange…
Chorus:
Comfort for humanity,
joy, controlled insanity.
God is dead,
so there’s nothing left to fear.
We don’t have to think,
neither to care, no decisions to be made.
Get everything if you can afford it right here!
Down - fall
of man - kind!
Reactionary jerks they think
it’s human behaviour that brings
the natural balance to break down…
Hey, all we do is optimise-
perfect gene-codes, perfect lies,
that we believe without even a frown…
Chorus
Just in case it all will be fucked-up
-no problem, until then we’ve got
technologies to settle down in outta space!
Maybe 6 billions will be left behind
“Wouldn’t be my fault” I’ve got on my mind
‘A will- a way’ they just need ambition to leave that place!
So what will tomorrow to be like
For the human race?
It seems as future looks so bright,
but i guess we have to face,
it’s one step forward, a thousand down!
Straight way into hell,
almost to late to change a shit,
When I am dead, and over me bright April
Shakes out her rain drenched hair,
Tho you should lean above me broken hearted,
I shall not care.
For I shall have peace.
As leafey trees are peaceful
When rain bends down the bough.
And I shall be more silent and cold hearted
Look at your steak!
standing there, eyes full of panic
legs do shiver-seem to break.
let's wait for collapse, then let's feed
beef to beef.
but to be insured
let us pulverise meat, bones and brain, and heat it up to 80 degrees...
everybody knows this is enough
like everybody knows, that earth is flat
and pigs can fly
now you know why...
BRITISH BEEF IS SAFE!
I watch tv-
everybody seems to lie to me
denying the – catastrophe!
scientifically infection is not proved
so lets proceed....
but i tell you
i'm sure it is not AIDS or even meningitis
it's just bovine spongiform enzephalilitis!
everybody knows it, but noone cares...
cuz earth is flat
and pigs can fly
now you know why...
BRITISH BEEF IS SAFE!
Don’t be scared of bse,
no problem for humanity.
People who are saying so are scum.
Nothing needs to worry you,
there is noone to bury to
and you know that madness can be fun!
So earth BE FLAT!
And pigs DO FLY!
So we know WHY
Earth is flat
And pigs can fly
You would look beautiful
With wires through your face
You would look beautiful
With traintracks for teeth
I need your love, twistes and sick
Broken and burned, I need your love
I'm leaving
This town
To Burn
Burn down
Fuck what I said in the letters
We sail,
through endless skies,
stars shine like eyes,
the black night sighs.
The moon,
in silver trees,
falls down in tears,
light of the night.
The Earth,
a purple blaze,
of sapphire haze,
in orbit always.
While down,
below the trees,
bathed in a coll breeze,
silver starlight breaks down the night.
And so,
we pass on by,
the crimson eye,
of great god Mars,
as we travel...
Another accident
Up on 95
Motor oil blues
Zero to sixty cruise
You filthy loser, you Sunday driver
Why don't you buy me a golden sewer?
And paint the walls a pretty color
And paint the walls a pretty color
You just walk right in
Like you still live here
Take your shit home
Because I don't want it anymore
Laughin' at you like a sick joke
You never amused me
Why don't you pour me a cup of coffee?
Put your head right through the windshield
Somebody please call the wrecker 'cause i'm all broken down.
Somebody please call the wrecker and have me towed away.
Sunday driver, caught on radar
Yeah, you don't love me
