This Medicine

I'll lay here, over analysis, look through your eyes
and disappear. Into your mind I'll try to find you won't let go.
I prod and poke try to provoke you
swing and sway go back and forth I never
know which way is north with you
pass me the anger I'll pass you the flame
I have the answer sit and I'll explain
It seems I'm going completely insane
If you like
I've leave you
alone to sigh
or disapprove
I don't know who you really are or why words get stuck in
your throat. maybe I'd never ask, maybe you knew, but I'd explode
into a rant, a endless string of should's
I'll walk you to the edge and push
then scream at you to swim
now we finally cut the cord
still give you everything you never asked for
I don't know why I can't let this go
If you like
I've leave you
alone to sigh
or disapprove
I wish I could find a cure
Its all I've been searching for
If you like
I've leave you
alone and fight
desires too
rip the thorns
out from your hands
make you take
this medicine

Blank Page

That guy, fell right off his tracks, slipping away slowly
there's no way of coming back,
he self medicate so he'll escape of a world that's asks to much
he gets knocked down but won't get up
until he's drank enough to be out of his mind
pick the biggest guy, breaks a bottle, and starts a fight
and he's back again by his best friend
who asks what do you say to yourself?
he stops and say's
I am the sum of everything and everyone
who occupies each moment of my life
so who's to blame for all my sins who shall we shame
cause its not me, I once was a blank page
that girl, manipulate like no other
shes got a faithful man but he's not her only lover
she wanted nothing more but to be adored and to brag to everyone
that shes got him under her thumb
deep down the guilt starts creeping in
and on the surface she callously pulls a evil grin
and as she spills out more her friends get bored
and ask, what do you say for yourself
she stops and she say's
I am the sum of everything and everyone
who occupies each moment of my life
so who's to blame for all my sins who shall we shame
cause its not me, I once was a blank page
If we're victims of circumstance
then don't blame me, blame my upbringing, the tv and specific life
events
If we have no choice over who we are
then don't blame me, blame my sister and my brother,
blame my teacher and my mother or my idols and my lovers
I am the sum of everything and everyone
who occupies each moment of my life
so who's to blame for all my sins who shall we shame
cause its not me, I once was a blank page

Nothing Behind Your Eyes
03:31

I know there's nothing behind your eyes, only pain
and the circuity to blindly oboe.
Will you teach me a lesson
that my protection relies on you
robotically spreading your aggression
In the direction other men point you too
I know there's nothing behind your eyes, only pain
and the circuity to blindly oboe.
What makes you so fucking different
Is it the switching on your clothes
Is there a god within you
Is there no dark side to your soul
I know there's nothing behind your eyes, only pain
and the circuity to blindly oboe.
when you surrender your will
how far will you go to comply
I know there's nothing behind your eyes, only pain
and the circuity to blindly oboe.

The Good Old Day's

The good old day's, what a terrible phase
To live in the life in the meaningless haze
with the ghosts, no ones coming out the play
I swear that it rained more than it did yesterday
memory's fade, memories manipulate
now I'm lost in though day's go by
(These day's they fade, time won't stop moving)
nothings for sure, I won't be left behind again
(the same again)
tomorrows on its way
these are the good old day's
I could take a trip down any memory lane
where every direction always leading to pain
I don't know why I come down here again
cause I'm missing out on all the here and now
Its time for the cast to graciously bow, curtains closed
on with the show we must go
(These day's they fade, time won't stop moving)
nothings for sure, I won't be left behind again
(the same again)
tomorrows on its way
these are the good old day's
these are the good old day's
(These day's they fade, time won't stop moving)
nothings for sure, I won't be left behind again
(the same again)
tomorrows on its way
these are the good old day's
(These day's they fade, time won't stop moving)
nothings for sure, I won't be left behind again
(the same again)
tomorrows on its way
these are the good old day's
these are the good old day's
