intro to
01:15

slipped into his shoes and walked away
looking for a place to stay
anywhere but home
he never thought of a reason why
all he said is one day he’ll die
and wants to find the world
and he can’t be satisfied
chasing all those leftover fantasies
reaching out into the air in case an answer’s flying by
well at least he tries

crying for nothing
04:35
|
|

I’m scared of a million things
so scared, though I’ve never felt real pain
no real pain
I’ve dreamt of a million things
I sleep and wake up just to complain
just to complain
take it to your other friends, your head’s not for my chest
promise me you’ll never leave
always looking out the window that we call the sky
promise you that I can see
oh I’ll forever feel ashamed
all I can ever blame is my own mind
my own mind
wait until it all turns to dust
wait until it settles onto my shoulders
I’ll be older
never let them see your tears, you’ve got ranks to defend
tell me that I’m not alone
don’t confess to any fears, only money makes friends
I’ll believe whatever I’m shown
and I’ll get by with a lullaby
with a lullaby

things they look for
03:48
|
|||
feeling floating people side to side
see them drift in and out of each other’s lives
and each other’s eyes
some of their colors fading
all of them still just waiting
they wait it out though not quite always patiently
waiting on and on expecting there to be
that thing they’re all looking for
up there, on the other floor
run on to see
seeping through all our days
words that we hear them say
when they’re passing by
not one of them knows why
and all should be worth saving
from their relentless craving
and they can speak for all of us when crying out
bluntly asking what the fuck is it all about
well start with a pretty face
then sweat so that in its’ place
remains a clue
to what used to be you

ceiling views
04:39

|

she wore flowers in her hair
and then forgot that they were there
she ceased to care
and as far as she’s concerned
there wasn’t much for her to learn
and then she turned around
daily fix of ceiling views
they all say that I can choose
try me. try me
watch me fail again
our very own cliché
I’ll embrace it if I may
and all the things I didn’t become today
and what of our mistakes?
just observe it as it breaks
shiver and shake
and weren’t we so close?
your scent is on my clothes
but slowly goes away
daily fix of ceiling views
they all say that I can choose
try me. try me
watch me fail again
our very own cliché
I’ll embrace it if I may
and all the things I didn’t become today

daylight
03:50
|
|
||
so I fell inside a slot machine
now I’ll run and hide in our lucid dream
and the color of your face seems a little odd
now I see exactly what you see
and feel what you feel
we almost disappear. look around you
so lost but all too clear and through the sound I’ve found
that the rhythm of our breathing is synchronized
feeling is believing
and I believe in us
we’re losing daylight
but don’t fall asleep
we’re keeping our sight
already halfway through the leap
so keep calm
keep calm

julia's fucked up world
08:06
|
|
||
you showed me yours
I showed you mine
then you ran out
and I’m stuck inside
it’s so cold
and you’re not here
left me alone
with all my fears
but I still miss you
gave you the gun
gave you the bullet
I never thought
that you would use it
held on so tight
and your embrace
was my only place to hide away
I still miss you
but I don’t know you
waves of your hair
trip around the sun
and I believed
I’d be the one
not just another
but here comes another few
I still love you
I still love you

he goes on looking for
a world beyond his door
hopeful for our days
desperately wanting to find his way
