Oh, it's the dreams you sold
That blew me away
And it's the tears you stole
That dug a grave
But if ...and never attack
Then I'll be right here, I'll be on your back
And if you feel alright,
You're covered in gold
It's not the way it hits
It's the way it fits, I know
I've been torn to pieces,
But I know,
You broke in two
For all the songs I sang you
For all the wars you won
I've been trying hard to
To tell myself, that,
I don't envy you.
But I do.
Was it the truth that caused you to look away?
Was it the way they told, 'forgive again'?
And it's a long way back from here,
And there is no way you can steer,
'Cause it's a certain kind of fear
You know you can't move forward if you always look back,
And you'll never ever dream if you don't relax.
And you feel alright, you're covered in gold.

Falling

I don't know your name,
But I love the way you play the game.
It goes, one two three
Would you savour some for me if you could?
I'm gonna chop you down,
I'm gonna chop you down a peg or two.
It goes, three two two
What are you gonna do this time?
And I can see you falling,
I can see you turned your head around.
I can see you falling,
I can see you turned your insides out.
I said, yeah.
It's nothing personal,
But it's the way you think you got it all
It goes, one two three,
I hope your life expectancy is low.
Oh, and when you go,
Oh man, you really go,
It goes, three two two
You know, it's catching up with you this time.
I must apologise,
For giving this impression that I care
It goes, three two two,
I wouldn't savour some for you if I could...

Scars

I watch her as she hides behind her eyes
Her fantasy world keeps her covered.
And no one seems to read between the lies
It's painted on her plastic face.
But she knows things that she will never ever say.
Words have been repeating in your head
Asking do you really want this?
Words have been repeating in your head
You know you're running out of time.
But you know how you're feeling after all,
And you know that you're heading for a fall.
But it's ok to live your life,
It's ok, to show your scars,
It's ok, it's ok to leave.
It's ok, to not feel right,
It's ok, to show you're scared,
It's ok, ok...
'Cause real life is not long
So rewrite, reborn,
And don't once look back.
'Cause your mind is your own,
It's your life, your thrown.
Remember that.

The teachers always think they know you
But they don't look.
I always thought that I would know you
If I could.
I know you wanna stay here
I know you wanna stay here
But you must go
I know said that we would try
But I can't find a single reason why we should.
Pick up the broken pieces of
Whatever you were calling love
And look up.
I know you wanna stay here
I know you wanna stay here
But you must go
And it heals on the way home
You've got this
Just gotta be more bold
You've got this
Just gotta take control
