You hold your pride as a banner
Only to deceive
With words that float like a feather
Ephemeral atmosphere watch me disappear
Cause i don’t belong here watch me disappear
The truth is under your tongue
You surely will not die
Time has too many faces
Righteous demagogue watch me disappear
Cause i don’t belong here watch me disappear
Its time to move on
Its time to start over now
Belief is all that is left said
The joker to the thief
A world of golden threaded lies
Zero gravity watch me disappear
Cause i don’t belong here watch me disappear
You teach and preach to the wise
But they will do no wrong
A path of infinite darkness
I see them multiply watch me disappear
Cause i don’t belong here watch me disappear

Carousel
I’m bleeding counting score
Suffering your filthy war
You want it, you take it, yet need more
I’m lucky I’m golden age
I’m a greedy macrophage
Enough around me to suffocate
Would you play the same game
Or would you let me in?
Would you play the same game
Or would you turn on me?
Stateless I’m begging you
Couldn’t care less helping you out
No empathy don’t bother me
Homeless left aside
Western’s foolish pride
Smiling & needing & wasting
When time comes and you’re in line
I’ll treat your sons like you did mine
What goes around in time comes around

Can you hear me now

Can you hear me now
Another blind date, a night on the run
The picture is fading, so comfortably numb
Yet i can’t seem to find a place i belong
Not for a second, not for a day
Don’t walk in my footsteps, please show me the way
I never talk out of turn but this is my song, so
Can you hear me now?
I wear the colors of shame every once in a while
I get fever anxiety my heart pumping wild
I should tell you to sod off with a nice pretty smile
Nor more critics nor pride they don’t work either way
When i don’t know i don’t know i got nothing to hide
I don’t care who i am, it’s up to you to decide
Can you hear me now?

Needless to say
Enjoy the final hours of recklessness
Worthless to pray
And so is hope when all bear selfishness
Delusional decay - bygone History
You’ll feel sorry - you’re not alone
Your body bears the seed
And our final chance to fullness
Ornemental greed
Our fruit is doomed to darkness
Sentimental play - awful mysery
You’ll feel sorry - you’re not alone
Endless array
However seldomly meets happiness
Immortal cliche
In the twilight lurks apocalypse
Seize what you may - fallout on your lips
In that artery you’re all alone.
Early on but say no more
Scattered memories washed ashore
Silently, peacefully
Accepting fate & irony
Greatness is a weakness, for you must fall
Helpless as you witness the undertow
This sickness bears with me now
This sickness bears with me now.

My good friend John
It’s been too long since i last met
My good friend John
Happiness, one of his many shirts
He’d wear it every day my good friend John
No binding rules, no written clause no
Meaningless promises no endless prose
He’s been taking time
I’ve been wasting mine
Half is left to redefine
He would sit and dwell on the morning dew
He was just passing through where others fell
He could change his ways but he would not dismiss
That he so dearly missed the good old days
I do recall the one true thing about John
It was either all, or it was none.
In the dead of night burns a candle bright
And the visions of my good friend John.

Coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can't look, it's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
'Cause I just can't look, it's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibi
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
I never
