Stranger

Now he hides behind a smile
It's easy for him
Easier for them
Much easier for us
Almost convenient one would say at the start
If there are no questions
There's no need for answers
How cold in the darkness
How calm on the surface
How lost in the depths
When noone remains
With time he won't remember
With time they will forget
Forever pretending that there is no pain
Us in the middle
Them on the right
Him to the left
All dead in the end
All dead in the end

With a kiss upon my lips

You said...
'Go to bed
Lean your head
Close your eyes
Drift away
You'll be safe'
Then you left

Pieces of Puzzles the Kitten Has Eaten

So I think and I say
You got your honesty from a cereal box
Just as fake as plastic can be
And fortune cookies are not the way
Not even close to the real thing
So pack up your lies and your shame
You can come back but this time
I won't stay
You know the wind can blow me away
And I won't come back with the rain
So I think and I say
You got your words from a scrabble game
Too many letters together can score high
But out in the world
It's the meaning what counts
And you
Just as true as a horoscope can turn out to be
On a metro line on the back of the pages
Along with the crosswords and weather predictions
So I think and I say
I believe in you as much as I have faith in religion
My sunday sermon or anything purple
You know horses can ride me away
And I won't come back with the tide
Alice has grown and Neverland is off of the map
So you're just the dirt on the playground
We all leave behind
You're pieces of puzzles the kitten has eaten

Pass me by

If you knew me I'm sure you'd stay
If you knew me well I bet you'd run away
This is how I feel
I tell you now what goes through my head
We're gonna meet up again
We'll smile and hold the tears back inside
We'll say we'll call and we'll lie
Pretend everything's perfectly fine
I ask you now
Is this how you feel?

Nights

I'm lying here in my bed
Hat still on
Thinking random thoughts
Characters playing for me
Just like almost every night
for the past few weeks
So faithful
Almost unnoticed
Yet so present
So I'm waiting
For it to disappear
Or you showing up
None of which could possibly happen
Uncertainty
The wait
Such a weight to speed up my sinking
Deep down
And deeper down even still
Where I used to linger
Where I used to hide
It seemed right and safe back then
Erasing thoughts could be so simple
So easy
If we weren't that much complicated
Insecure
So reluctant to let go
Just a call to say 'goodbye'
Or 'hello'
But it is always a 'don't go'
but 'don't come too close'
So I stand in the middle
And wait
While everything around keeps moving
So I take off my hat
I turn around
And I sleep

Selfish

A world that could change
according to your needs
That could save us all,
at least it could save me

Time to make a toast
to great fucking liars like you
I believed the lie
I believed in you
And it turned out
The Lie
It was you
