Consider us your plaything Consider us a hole To throw your little hopes in To waste your little thoughts A good try though it's still not enough A good try but you still don't evolve Consider us a playground A place you're safe from harm Where everything's an option Where no one is alarmed In time you'll understand something's wrong In time you'll see us gone... and so long Not everything will be forever yours We died waiting for you to evolve Could I change your mind for once? Redirect the mess you are? I can tell you it's alright I was just like you sometime... If you want to dream the dream I won't question anything I won't be there when you wake It'll be a lonely day And the hole will close in time And the playground won't be there All your playthings will be old When the monsters take control I don't want to make you cry I would never even try I just tell you it's alright I was just like you sometime... A black hole of endless need

Was I meant to forgive or to hide in rage? Was I meant to ensure or to bring you shame? I can't fake my surprise, my enthusiasm and I know you would do the same for me The damage we survived is already done All the blood that you spilled has begun to dry I don't have any doubts, we are lost this time and I know that from now on I'm yours and you're mine Sometime I will make things clear with you Sometime I will do right by you Sometime I'll control myself with you Sometime when we haven't killed each other

Give this man a bone Do this one a favour Make her feel like home It's now or never, stick together Something's gotta give Bake a chocolate cake Hum a song with us Enjoy yourself another payday Nothing's gonna change Nothing's gonna move No one's going away Some things never change around here I don't know it all I'm as lost as you are We don't need to talk About the bloodstain on the doorstep Something's gotta give Bake a chocolate cake Move on with your life If you can move into the dirt Though... Nothing's gonna change Nothing's gonna move No one's going away Some things never change around here It's not a walk to take the edge off No home, no friend, no plan at all It's not a song to sing to children It's not a place where dreams come true I wish it could be something bigger I wish it could be something more I hope someday it's gone and buried The wires, the mud, the "last resort"... Never the sun will rise here Always the sun will dry the land Nothing has changed around here Some people never leave this place How can you be a part of this?

Traffic hours on Sundays Lesser clouds on dark days And maybe you'll be there And maybe you'll be there Cynic words of children Truths we've yet to listen But maybe you're still there But maybe you're still there I think I know you From underwater, not so long ago You were fighting for air back then And I was letting you drown I was letting you be forgotten I just wanted to ask... Is it all better? Do you recognize me now? Is it possible, that I could be anything more than just a disappointment to you? I ask too much I know... This is not mine anymore It was and always will be... Your ocean, Your oxygen, Your oblivion. It's all yours. Like I used to be. Babies drank the raindrops They laugh when the world stops When you're no longer here When you're no longer here Swimming down the fire sky Flying on a whale's back Cause maybe you'll be there Cause maybe you'll be there But you're never there No, you're nowhere You really are nowhere You're swimming nowhere You're flying nowhere You're drowning nowhere You're falling nowhere You really are... Nowhere

I had to keep the mask on I had to fall asleep before I drew attention before I made them see that I was the one who spilled the wine and defiled their daughters The party kept on going The party always does I tried to find my place in, I walked through everyone and not one talented, a poet, a pioneer among them The truth destroyed their faces A cruel awakening A shattered town before me with a desperate need to condemn and flattered as I was I smiled and dreamt about you Come just come again and try again old lover
6.
I shall find you where they keep the poison I shall find you where the lost souls live I will search among the dying roses I shall find you in the coldest seas You can find me in the saddest novels You can find me following the trains You remind me how I always forget You can save me but you never will I don't know why you don't like the winter I don't know anything about you You live where nobody's really living At the end of all beautiful things At the end of all beautiful things

The Rude 03:15
I should have nail down the shutters You're breaking in through the smallest holes Amazes me how you hold up Amazes me how anyone does Have Ι a reason to be rude? Am Ι a cynic like I should? Have Ι a Sunday afternoon? Am Ι the ugly child of youths? The secret way of attraction I drunk you up in a bottle of scotch Amazes me how I hold up Amazes me how anyone does Have Ι a reason to be cool? Am Ι a listener that good? Have Ι a Sunday afternoon? Am Ι the ugly fool of youths? And if I had to guess I would just give up It's a ton of shit I lack off If i had a choice I would give you up It's a ton of shit I lack off If Ι had to smile to you one more time Ι would spit my teeth out, you know... And if Ι'm the rude one I can live with that It's a ton of shit I lack off

To cynically paint you (was it right?) To remain so empty (was it right? To typically lose ourselves To grow old is such a boring job The fire that burnt you (was it right?) Did we ever care to? (was it right?) I hope it's all over now For all the wrong reasons we all live So we can celebrate you now
9.
Have the tremors stopped yet? Is there something we can do to help? A word of love and history? A friendly severed hand to touch? Rivers are running backwards And the sky has left the earth for good Weeds broke into our bedrooms And the pigeons stole your merry heart I hope that after all he's somewhere out there I hope you're not alone and you've found your way back Isn't it sad to play and win? But you were never listening Everything's sad here Everything's sad here Years ago inside a dream Tears of ghosts drowned you and me Tears of ghosts drowned you and me

I'm not a play that you should star I'm not a healthy subject I am the hole where problems start I am the tongue of liars I'm not a drink that makes you laugh A little drop could kill you A little fault of luck I am You wouldn't ever think so And if I told you And if I let you see Just what I am You wouldn't believe me anyhow I'm not the one to hang around How could you be so careless? One flew over the cuckoo's nest Another stayed inside it A magic trick reveals itself Unfortunately boring I think you'll never understand I'm done apologizing And if I told you And if I let you see Just what I am You wouldn't believe me anyhow I'm really trying to let you down Forgot the keys on purpose I am the hole where problems start Don't ever fall inside it
