Drop Dead

So upset what goes on in my head
All the things that I said – they’re keeping me awake
Unaware and so unprepared
How did I get this scared - to make the wrong decisions?
All the guilt, yeah it hurts to admit, that I was always meant to be a mistake
I’m just a mess, I’m just a lost boy, over 30 still making the same mistakes
Drop Dead – I lie awake because
the truth is that you’re still here with me
Making choices, yeah I tried to be honest,
that you deserve someone better than me
Drop Dead
All these things, I gotta figure them out. I’m a mess, I’m a fraud, always lost in the crowd
Close my eyes until the sun goes down, In the dark lies the only comfort that I have found
Please hear me out, I’m just just trying to be honest
Please hear me out, cause you deserve my honesty
Drop Dead – I lie awake because
the truth is that you’re still here with me
Making choices, yeah I tried to be honest,
that you deserve someone better than me
Drop Dead
So much to lose – I should have given it all away
Suffering the consequences, I should run and take my chances
I have given it all away
Drop Dead – I lie awake because
the truth is that you’re NOT HERE WITH ME
Drop Dead – I lie awake because
the truth is I WISH YOU WERE HERE!!!
So much to lose – I should have given it all away
Suffering the consequences, I should run and take my chances
I’m 32 and I’m wondering, what do I what do I do now
Drop Dead!

Phantom Pain

How do I fall asleep?
Cause I cannot erase the things I did… and I
and I wish…
Yeah I, I could turn back the time and who I am
I bent so much till I will break
Is it words of wisdom and common sense, the more you love someone, you gotta let them know!
Chorus:
Phantom pain – I’m on my knees this is real
Now I know that I’m not ok
Please just stay – I tried to bend till I break
But our love is like phantom pain
…is like Phantom Pain
Can’t think, can’t eat, inside of me
There’s a ghost that’s fed by my mistakes
My stomach turns red, inside I bleed
Oh, I deserve this mess, entirely – yes, I do!
Bridge
try to rest, meditate, yeah I wish I could send
all these unfinished letters but my mind’s just so blank
In the end what to do, who to be, understand
That my head and my heart disconnect in the end
Memories, fall asleep, would you come back to me,
Now I see what we lost, life for you and for me,
Will go on, but tell me is this how it should be
When I sleep, yeah, I dream you were right here with me
cause I was home

Fast 1: Fast 2:
I am vain, I am stubborn it’s in vain, I' too stubborn
I am nothing and we’re watching
I am fucking exhausted how this world’s slowly dying
I know how it feels to know it’s too late
Tell me why this world has nothing to offer
Verse 1:
It’s like this whole thing’s meant to fall apart
Our clouded minds they will collide and die
And what I want to know is whether you can change the
way you think / Well, I can nothing but assure you - I have my doubts about it
Verse 2:
Waking up, all alone
On this world I call home
oh, I wish that we could change
Chorus:
Waking up I’m all alone now
Wondering where time has gone
Throw in: I take it all, I take the blame, just let me sleep, it’s all in vain
Waking up I’m all one now
Change your mind or come undone
Ending:
Teach me how to change the world, I would
Teach me how to change something for good
There’s not much to hold on to
and nothing to lose
When there is nothing but hope anymore
This world will go up in flames
Until this day I will hold you
Oh I just wish you were here cause I’d hold you
baby, I just wish I could hold you
This world will go up in flames
Until this day I will hold you
Do you remember the days when I told you…
…that for once I just wish we were stronger
Oh baby, I just wish I could hold you!

Better Days

Verse 1:
In times like these, where do we stay
On our feet without losing it
Walk out the door, and don’t be late
How do you feel? I guess that I’m okay!
So many thoughts, so many days, sleepless nights, people telling me that my anxiety is getting worse; and it is not like I wouldn’t know, I’m paralyzed, It all feels like I’m waiting for the storm to come
And when I dream, I wish that you were right here with me
Chorus:
Can we escape – our memories
This bitter taste – it’s killing me inside
Sit down and wait – for better days
If we could only find a way to make it out alive
And I suffer the consequences, for who I am,
Alone in this apartment, but what do I want
please just make this go away – I wish things were okay
Verse 2:
Sometimes I wish that we were free
Toll hell with our expectations
We’re stuck inside the same routine
Staring at the walls, looking for some inspiration
It’s getting harder every day, all my thoughts are caving in
And what we said turned out to be the last words on the subject when it all came down
And while I’m trying to make sense of everything that’s going on, well
Guess at the end of the day, I just can’t comprehend
Chorus 2:
Can we escape – Reality
This bitter taste – it’s killing me inside
Sit down and wait – for better days
If we could only find a way to make it out alive
And I suffer the consequences, for who I am,
Alone in this apartment, but what do I want
Please just make this go away – I wish things were okay …. But we both know, they’re not!
CPart:
So let’s just make sure… when I go outside and leave the house, I’m gonna wear a mask that supposedly protects me from everything but from myself, and when I turn on the fxxx TV, I see cops spraying gas at protesters, I see a president who doesn’t give a shit about his own people, this place is on fire, people are just so full of shit, it’s freaking me out
I just need to be whole again, I just want to be free
I need some better days – it’s freaking me out – I need some better days
Interlude:
In times like these, where do we stay
On our feet without losing it ………. I guess that I’m okay
Chorus:
Can we escape – our memories
This bitter taste – it’s killing me inside / I’m going crazy all these things are just so lonely)
Sit down and wait – for better days
If we could only find a way to make it out alive
And I wish that I had the answers for everything
At least I’m trying to get better every day
And if you’d ask me I would say
I guess that I’m okay!!!
