Closer

Yet another year has passed
Still no step further to myself
I’d love for me to grow closer
To you, God
Who I don’t know
A faithless life that I live
I turn and turn and turn
Around it
So how could I ever grow closer
To someone
I don’t know
Modesty I’ve tried you long
But can’t find nothing in common
So here I am excessiveness
And I’ll take as much
As I can

Always
03:28
|

Forgiving is a gift they say
So I sit and wait until the day
For anger to let go of me
How many years does it take
For someone to rightly say
The weight is off
I’m walking free
I’m a willow tree
I let my hair hang into the sea
Always
Hold no grudge it taints the heart
I’d rather have you take that part
I’ll hold it til the very end
I’m a willow tree
I let my past fall into the sea
Always
Forgive me when I say
I still feel that way
And I always will

Between You and I
04:12
|

|
It’s all at my disposal
But what if I decide it all wrong
It’s all already in you
I hit a wall and it numbs it all
Now what if our lives were going to waste
What if our love was only in our head
Between you and I
Between you and I
Between you and I
The more I push
The more it’s dissolving
Let time stop
And choose its truth
Forever the one who is reckless
I’ll gladly set the fire
In your hand
Now what if our lives were going to waste
What if our love was only in our head
Between you and I
Between you and I
Between you and I

Big Sad Man
03:35
|
|||
|
Come my big sad man
Lay your head on my chest
Your sorrows are safe here
Don’t mind me being a mess
Quite little I know, but I know
You won’t let me down
So I will never leave you again
I will never leave you again
With four feet on the ground
It’s a long way to fall
But I’d pinch your heavy heart
For not trying at all
So much you know, and you know
I might let you down
But I will never leave you again
I hope I’ll never leave you again
For your love
For your love
For your love
For your love

Like a Child

I made an honest decision and now you
Have to live with it
But so I do
But you’ll agree
You’ll agree
You’ll agree with me
Cause who will thank you
For all the sadness you carry
And who will turn back time
For you
And make it right
For me, too
Lay it all on me
I could’ve said
But I’m a light-weight, too
You see
But you’ll agree
One day you will see
And you’ll agree with me
Cause who will thank you
For all the sadness you carry
And who will turn back time
For you
And make it right
For me, too
Hand me more excuses
One at a time
So I don’t have to
Make up my own mind
Like a child like a baby
In their mother’s womb
Like a child like a baby
Like a mother like a child
Like a stone like a telephone

Oh Woman
03:21
|
|||
|
It’s painfully obvious
There’s nothing there yet
Close to my heart
Close enough to keep
Viewing it from afar
A lost soul
Or a hidden star
Just for taking the road less traveled by
Now I am just a girl and such whose parents loved her way too much
And all I can do is sing a song
But I will be a mum and such who loves her daughter way too much
And I’ll sing her a song every night
Every night
For the rest of our lives
My record’s clear
Or is it not?
No missing bodies to report
Just a prisoner of my own pride
Oh woman, you’re alone in this
A life-long crisis
But with an open
But with and open end
An open end
An open end
An open end

Once
04:13
|

|
I’m waiting for someone to die
So i have a reason to be upset
I’m drinking myself into the ground
So I have a reason to stay in bed
It’s a wasted life
But I am too tired to change it
Someone tell me how am I
Not too old for this shit
Cause once I was wild and free
And then I threw myself into his arms
Once I think I was free
And then I threw myself into his arms
Into his arms
I’m waiting for him to hold me
Like you did
Someone is better than none
I wont fight it
It’s an easy life
But I am too scared to fail it
Someone tell me who am I
To still try and fake it
Cause once I was wild and free
And then I threw myself into his arms
Once I think I was free
And then I threw myself into his arms
Into his arms
Into his arms

How Cruel
04:18
|
|||
|
How cruel
A heart shutting up
How selfish
A reliable hub
In a quiet oh so beautiful mind
Without agreement it don’t matter who’s right
It helps me believe
You wouldn’t suffer from it It helps me believe
You wouldn’t suffer from it It helps me believe
I wouldn’t move on from it
From it
From you
How violent
Still forcing it
How pretentious
Blaming you for my shit
Going downward when the hill was so low
Pointing fingers when it’s no one’s fault
It helps me believe
You wouldn’t suffer from it
It helps me believe
You wouldn’t suffer from it
It helps me believe
I wouldn’t move on from it
From it
From you

Conversations
04:39

|
Your silence is all I hear
A sound I have learned to fear
Speak to me
So I can feel you
Eyes speak so silently
Mine yell but you can’t hear
Speak to me
So I can feel, too
So we silently agree
To never be
Apart
How can anything be true
When even me and you
Sometimes forget
How to love
So I silently agree
To never be
Apart

Until You Need Me
05:06
|
|
||
|
This was not the plan
To be here again
Your heart in my hand
But you know I can’t
Hand over mine
Cause I can’t find it
Don’t make me go there
Just leave me be, leave me be
I won’t come if you call me
Leave me be, leave me be
I won’t come if you need me
You sing every song
And I listen
You say all the words
And I laugh
Push and pull on
Until you need me
Until you need me
Just leave me be, leave me be
I won’t come if you call me
Leave me be, leave me be
I won’t come if you need me
Never trust someone who can’t decide
You were always right
Never trust someone who can’t decide
Love is always right
Just leave me be
You were always right
Don’t leave me be
Love is always right

Waltz
04:43

Love is an illusion
One of many I know
I love you I hate you
An indifferent stare
Forgiving’s an illusion
This one I know
I forgive you I blame you
I’d much rather forget
Oh merry-go-around
Slow down for me
But don’t you ever stop
Let me close my eyes and view
The pictures in my head
The pictures in my head
Healing’s an illusion
Painful I know
I am healed I am bleeding
All over tomorrow
Oh merry-go-around
Slow down for me
But don’t you ever stop
Let me close my eyes and view
The pictures in my head
The pictures in my head
If love was an illusion
Why do I bleed at all Is all that I know
Nothing at all?
