Tired of using my head
Trying to prove there’s a meaning
Feeling the weight of the bed
Can’t tell the floor from the ceiling
Teachers were waiting for me
Parents were dimming the windows
How could I make them all leave?
Thinking they all had their reasons
Killing my pride was the game
Left like a flower to wither
Feeling the world and the weight
Can’t tell the waking from dreaming

End of line
no more singing lullabies to adults
Never take the time
I don’t want to be alive
Fed the mind
underlying, underlining trauma
Never had the time
No more ‘it will be alright’
Feeling like a lion behind bars
watching as our lives are going under
Handsome boys obsessing with their cars
while pretty girls are yearning for the summer
Felt my spine
As I took the fall from Jacob’s ladder
Never had the time
Didn’t want to be in a fight
Hate my kind
Hating all the violence in our karma
Yet I lie
Acting like a frightened child
Feeling like a lion behind bars
watching as our lives are going under
Handsome boys obsessing with their cars
while pretty girls are yearning for the summer
I’d rather dream of life on Mars
Everything is under no control
Everything is under no control
Everything is under no control

When my heart hurts
My mind hurts
But when my lips move
Nobody cares
In my alcoholic dreams it makes
So much more sense
I don’t want to go out with you Veronica
I just want you to be like any other girl
I don’t want to go out with you Veronica
But I know that I ‘ll kiss you by the cinema
And my pain feeds
My neuroses
When my pen writes
My heart burns
When I read your words
My mouth stretches unusually
But I can’t feel hope
More than my insecurities
I don’t want to go out with you Veronica
I just want you to be like any other girl
I don’t want to go out with you Veronica
But I know that I ‘ll kiss you by the cinema
I don’t want to impress you, I can’t
I just want to undress you with my hands
And make you not care about anything
So that I don’t care about anything
I don’t want to go out with you Veronica
I just want you to be like any other girl
I don’t want to go out with you Veronica
But I know that I ‘ll kiss you by the cinema
Is it enough?
Is it too much?
Is it enough?
This modern love and such

Drive too far
Away to stay
Try too far
Too hard to say
Ran too far
To run away
Late goodbye
Too late to say
In a place unknown
In a place we own
There were never gods that you could talk to
For every other soul that lost
the memory train to innocence

Hand over you, holding for you
Gazing, just gazing
Waking to you, dressing for you
Seasons are changing
Cold wind, kissing me in the morning
While lovers, are kissing in their cars
Cold wind is feeding me the truth
While young girls are longing for the sun
Dreaming of you, being under you
Phasing, just phasing
Healing with you, feeling with you
Gazing. just gazing

There is a time
when everyone’s alone
and everybody wants you
“Come and visit”, they say
“Don’t go, stay more”
Oh - oh
And then there’s when
they have somebody in their life
and then nobody wants you
Stay home
Live on your own
Stay home
Stay home
Where is all the love they promised
in coca cola ads?
To what are you supposed to hold on?
To bottled neon lies?
Where is all the love they promised
in coca cola ads?
Are you supposed to hold on to?
those coca cola nights?
And your mother’s bed is empty
In a house of nineteen-eighty
Somewhere, Somewhere
Sold for nothing, bought for plenty
And the thought of it hurts,
Could it be from all the hating?
She’s not even there to tell you
How not good enough you were too
Like all the rest
Fooled and ever so scared
That no one cared
No one. Not one.
Where is all the love they promised?
in coca cola ads?
To what are you supposed to hold on?
To bottled neon lives?
Where is all the love they promised?
in coca cola ads?
The family, the loved one, the friends
Oh well, it seems, I’d rather pass

See the boy
Growing, growing
See the girl
Glowing, knowing
Tears of youth
Falling, colder
Tears of truth
Make you bolder
Promising young man
Promising young girl, young girl
Be polite
Order! Order!
Be up tight
Order! Order!
Kick the soul
Harder! Harder!
Keep us all
Under, under
Promising young man
Promising young girl, young girl

In this chaos
I’ve been aching
For a friend
Dead end
Every person
Every hell
Every dead son
Faded
Dive into the sun
Dive into the trees
Dive into this world of
never ending dreams
Rise above
the ancient sea
Cry to feel
Her warmth
There is hope
in a dream
Maybe death is
Living
Dive into the sun
Dive into the trees
Dive into this world of
never ending dreams
