cold water
i like to scrub my house, keep it clean
must have my laundry basket empty
i check my mail every ten to fifteen minutes
so is this it? hard to believe
what else is left for us to achieve?
got so many gifts i long to give
yeah
my knees are shaking i must leave
end of days,
it caught me just a little unprepared,
like cold water
end of days
falling between cracks, am impaired now?
cold water
had a plan, wasn’t going to stop
thought i’d finally reach the treetop
but the universe has his chops
no valour to confront the next day,
what is real and what is fake? aha
one can go mad in his small space, i
feel like my peace of mind went astray
end of days,
it caught me just a little unprepared,
like cold water
end of days
falling between cracks, am impaired now?
cold water

self help
i know you’re mad,
when it rain it pours
your time will come
no need to climb the walls
because of jealousy
instead of hating, hug
your insecurities
be patient about it
don’t waste all of your time on this crap again
it ain’t worth it now and believe me when i say
it’ll never be. what makes you think that anything
will ever be enough? will it be enough?
when you cry - why resist it?
girl, just let it fall
if you look from a distance -
shit’s looks kinda small
in five minutes you’ll forget this
girl just let it fall,
don’t resist it, don’t
your starting point
wasn’t as good as others,
but the world it doesn’t end right now
you can still get hold of anything you want to get
but do recall nothing lasts forever
go kiss yourself on the cheek,
You’ve been criticizing your ass for years,
cant you give it a break for now?
how nice is to feel an ease after a good laugh,
even when life gets a little rough
when you cry - why resist it?
girl, just let it fall
if you look from a distance -
shit’s looks kinda small
in five minutes you’ll forget this
girl just let it fall,
don’t resist it, don’t
(don’t resist - yeah - just let it fall
we’re all babies here, after all)

calm down
don't be so greedy,
you best believe me
we've got exactly what we need
what we need
writing’s like gardening,
it expels the agony
why being mad if you can plant
another seed?
down (down)
calm down (calm down)
don’t even go there now
in the end it will turn around
troubles always come when you’re get out of proportion
real peace it lies within
the small things and your being
you can fall and still get really far
get really far
you can’t control the past,
the present moves so fast
some things are though, but here we are
here we are
down (down)
calm down (calm down)
don’t even go there now
in the end it will turn around
troubles always come when you’re get out of proportion

golden eggs
why do my eyes burn so much?
can’t i just be?
try to meditate on it
but im so dizzy
next time i go to a shrink
what will he say?
i don’t believe anyone
it ain’t worth it
is rebirth possible?
does it exist?
if so, i need to make sure
i’ll live in peace
maybe i should use dr. google
it has lists
wait, you know what? i probably shouldn’t
i don’t miss this
who i am is more than a number
this obsession’s making me lumber
“this ones nice, can you get me another?“
it’s an evil plan made by others
will they me
go
go
go
go
will we let me go, go
me and my guts are the same,
we both get the the chills
what can i say? i’m insane
give me more pills
you must have a bigger house
work it baby,
guess what, i got golden eggs
you’ll never see
who i am is more than a number
this obsession’s making me lumber
“this ones nice, can you get me another?“
it’s an evil plan made by others
will they me
go
go
go
go

smell the roses
wake up and smell the roses
yeah, you know where the nose is
can’t you see the things you’ve gained?
wake up and smell the roses
honey, you need to owe this
top yourself, clear the noises
it ain’t about the medicine,
it has nothing to do with your doses
the more you go
the less you know for sure
let your body float
in the unknown
here it goes, that bloody feeling
don’t even ask ,it
usually doesn’t last, if, you
try to look down from the ceiling
you won’t need the backstreet
you don’t need the backstreet
wake up and smell the roses
genuine love comes slow, and
you’d rather have a million friends
than a million dollars in the bank
the more we go
the less we know for sure
let your body float
in the unknown
here it goes, that bloody feeling
don’t even ask ,it
usually doesn’t last, if, you
try to look down from the ceiling
you won’t need the backstreet
you don’t need the backstreet

you’re looking forward
to starting over
how long do you think it will take
for you to become sober?
it’s going nowhere
you’re only getting slower
fear is like a quicksand
it’ll swallow you whole
oh but it’s hard,
why does the brain do that?
it tries to protect you but
instead it attacks
but it’s your own movie,
you get to chose the kind
look over your shoulder,
build a nice story line
start a new chapter
move on and go after
what you really want to feel
have a good laugh,
don’t think about disasters
one can make his demons kneel
i just don’t get it,
why am i always mad at the world
how does it keep on rollin’
when the end hangs above our heads?
when you feel like a stone,
and you’re sitting home alone
remember that you always grow
when you step outside your comfort zone
(why am i mad?
it ain’t the end
ohhh like a stone
see how you grow?)
life’s momentary,
things never stay the same
pain comes and goes
but suffering’s just a game
and it’s your own movie,
you get to choose the kind
look over your shoulder,
build a nice story line
start a new chapter
move on and go after
what you really want to feel
have a good laugh,
don’t think about disasters,
one can make his demons kneel

small plates
i really like staying in bed with you
let's hang till 4 in the mornin’
starting to feel lime addicted to ya
your yellow eyes they warm me up
your skin is shiny it‘s like a dream come true
you smell like milk and honey
if you wanna leave then go ahead and do so
but can you give me a warning?
silly me, can’t I see?
you could care less
how can you be so full of apathy
while you make a mess?
it’s true
i’m a fool for you
so silly, you look like a cartoon
your little head moves slowly
i wanna watch you fall asleep all noon
i guess I need you more than you need me
off the tree, get off the tree
i’m scared you might fall
how can you be so full of apathy
and still look like a doll?
it’s true
i’m a fool for you

nevermind
open minded
but i get stuck sometimes, and
my old patterns are blinding
if i’m here now then i should be.
right? never mind, yeah
fighting this won’t change a thing
fighting this won’t change a thing
and i know who i wanna be
apparently, it’s out reach
no one should live like this, you see
all and all, i don’t wanna waste no time
fighting this won’t change a thing
fighting this won’t change a thing
all and all, i don’t wanna waste no time

road to stay
used to like to party, now i don’t
i let it go. it’s a waste of time
thought that i’d come by and say hello
a quick one, though, i’m a little high
i’m here and i don’t feel like i belong at all
most faces here i haven’t seen in my life
people push a lot, the table is too small
i’m uncomfortable
uncomfortable
am i crazy?
or have i figured it all?
is this a phase or
am i losing it?
see them girls, looks like they’re in command
but underneath we all have our scars
don’t like the games you play so i’ll pretend
like i care bout who you think you are
don’t know myself lately, i’ve become undone
look at me, think i went to far
all i wanted was to have a little fun
but i can’t do it like they do
am i crazy?
or have i figured it all?
is this a pass or
am i losing it?

next one in line
can’t believe my own eyes
the whole world lost its mind
should i get myself ready before it ends?
man, i swear i was fine
now i’m feeling behind
funny how all living things depend
hope in time we all find that
love is better than wine,
but reality makes me feel petrified
‘cause i might be next one in line
i might be next one in line x4
our perspective was wrong
still we never learn
that life makes a fool out of everyone
guess i’m forced to let go
there’s nothing to hold on to
nature is crafty and faith is blind
and i might be next one in line
i might be next one in line x4
so if you fall, can you try landing on your back?
land on your back,
land on your back
and if you rise, don’t worry about losing track
land on your back
just land on your back
i might be next one in line

purple suit
a purple bag and a purple suit
so fresh, i bet she wears a perfume
those young girls seems to wear fancy shoes
(nd) that little lady’s got things to do
i like to stare, yeah i know it’s rude
can’t help myself, life is a big zoo
my parents told me i shouldn't look
but if i don’t, i miss the whole view
she’s looking for attention
in so many directions
shes needs a conversation
that’s her only intention
she’s got so many questions
what is your destination?
she needs a conversation
still looking for attention
i’m an observer i got my rules
aint gonna judge before i know the truth
my parents told me i shouldn't look
but if i don’t, i miss the whole view
a purple bag and a purple suit
so fresh, i bet she wears a perfume
she’s looking for attention
in so many directions
shes needs a conversation
that’s her only intention
she’s got so many questions
what is your destination?
she needs a conversation
still looking for attention
