Coming soon
Coming soon
i’ve come a long way since we’s turned to me
i can’t say i miss your devoted company
it may have been easy to leave you this way
but your split personality was driving me insane
cause in a blink of an eye
your touch is no longer warm
just a classic case of the calm and the storm
a subtle reminder jogs a lonesome memory
and i’ve come a long way since we’s turned to me
an eight year old photo and letters of pain
my ears grew deaf from hearing you complain
you gave me two options, I show no shame
believe me when I say we’ll never be the same
cause in a blink of an eye
your touch is no longer warm
just a classic case of the calm and the storm
a subtle reminder jogs a lonesome memory
and i’ve come a long way since we’s turned to me
i’ve come a long way since we’s turned to me
i can’t say i miss your devoted company
i smoked too many cigarettes last night
i probably drank more then i should of
roast a bowl turn down the lights
i passed out late up in my room
the night is just a blur today
my days have long been slept away
and i don’t really want to hear you now
cause i know that i should change somehow
that’s why god made tomorrow
why my god made tomorrow
i told you i loved you more then life
but i don’t feel that much for life today
i should have looked out more for you
i’m sorry if i’m a wound that never heals
i’ve had the razor in my hand the gun in my mouth
times of thinking there’s no way out
but i’ve found, that the sun will come around
it was a warm summer night your path crossed mine
written in the stars are lives are defined
can’t you see, we were always meant to be
but now I shudder to think, i almost threw things all away
and I’ll stop to say things like you, you never happen to me
you placed your hand into mine a healing began
all known worries were thrown to the wind
have to say you looked lovely that day
i’ve had the razor in my hand the gun in my mouth
times of thinking there’s no way out
but I’ve found, that the sun will come around
i feel cold
i need sleep
been away and i care no more
feels too safe
and i never would’ve thought
i could’ve been so wrong
but now I shudder to think, i almost threw things all away
and I’ll stop to say things like you, you never happen to me
i walk a thin line
there’s nobody risking more than me right now
than me right now
i know in due time
you’ll show me the way to the door
i know the fine times
the ones that you have when i’m away for long
away for long
you draw your sand lines
they’ll come as my oceans reach shore, yeah
time space and the way that it travels
well i’m pretty sure were doing better today, yeah
in life i no longer need shelter
i’m not sure what else i can say
i walk an thin line
there’s nobody risking more than me right now
than me right now
i know in due time
you’ll show me the way to the door
i know the fine times
the ones that you have when I’m away for long
away for long
i live the high life
there’s nothing i want to need more, yeah
time space and the way that it travels
well i’m pretty sure were doing better today, yeah
in life i no longer need shelter
i’m not sure what else i can say
Coming soon
time thinking out loud about what you’d like to say
and you’re living your life just to pass away
now don’t you admit that i’m the one that fits
you might just regret
the consequence
of being in love with me
because i never would have thought you could just stand there
days of stealing the hearts all away
i never would have thought you could’a loved me
how can it be
you’ll find in time you can always change your mind
and you’re sure to be fine
scold me, so non-effectively
and the days thinking about what you’d like to be
and you’re singing along just so people see
now don’t you admit that i’m the one that fits
you might just regret
the consequence
you, and me, non effectively
life, and love, i’m a step above
it’s too late your the one
yeah the one i’m dreaming of
time thinking out loud about what you’d like to say
and you’re living your life just to pass away
now don’t you admit that i’m the one that fits
you might just regret
the consequence
of being in love with me
because i never would have thought you could just stand there
days of stealing the hearts all away
i never would have thought you could’a loved me
how can it be
you’ll find in time you can always change your mind
and you’re sure to be fine
scold me, so non-effectively
scold me
Sick and tired of being sick and tired
No desire, to keep my soul from fire
Television living my life for me
Don’t know how things became so damn boring
Pain filled life, set on uncommon grounds Don’t think twice if my friends might all come around
Television ruining my life for me
Don’t know how things could come so damn easily
To Go Out
Get High
Get Drunk
Get Fucked, today
Because you never can be sure…
When your God may come and take your life away
And when the darkness falls
You bet your fucking ass it’s here to stay
So Go Out
Get High
Get Drunk
Get Fucked, today
yeah, and give yourself something real
So don’t you lie to me about your destiny
When it’s all inside, just open your mind
Don’t you try to speak while I’m talking to me
It’s all a big waste of your time
Wasting your time
Sick and tired of being sick and tired
No desire, to keep my soul from fire
Television.
Don’t know how things could come so damn easily
To Go Out
Get High
Get Drunk
Get Fucked, today
Because you never can be sure…
When your God may come and take your life away
And when the darkness falls
You bet your fucking ass it’s here to stay
So Go Out
Get High
Get Drunk
Get Fucked, today
yeah, and give yourself something real
A slow cure, a quick fix
And I might hear the end of this
Cool days, warm nights
And we just may get things right
Until I sit back and wonder why
As I pull the needle from my eye
I know I have much more to give
As I cross my heart and I hope to live
A lot better than this
Today I’m just not myself
I’m guilty from somebody else
Nother times, nother ways
But they hurt me just the same
Should I care do you know
Should I let my feelings go with the wind
Should I be, no not me
Some rehearsed insanity
And again I will…
now i’m stuck between you and i
i have my reasons but i don’t ask why
now i got numb while you were away
but now you’re back and here to stay
and i don’t mind
it might be you, hell it could be me
it might be us generally
and i’ll never know just how you feel
and i’ll never know just what was real
but i don’t mind
you don’t always just know what to say
but i’d take your mumble any day
and we always spend so much time
and i’ve noticed hell it’s mainly mine
but I don’t mind
good evening could you look at me here
give me a moment and lend me your ears now
i can tell by the look on your face, i know we’re probably not your taste but…
who now, who now, who should regret
and i sit back here and take a look at myself
always blaming somebody else
i know well my problems’ at heart.
i know well that it’s mostly my fault
but i’m feeling damn good i’ve been a sinner today
my friends will all be with me in hell anyway
and the time moves quickly as the days move past
who knows how long eternity will last.
who now, who now, who should regret.
hello dear father, forgive me for i might have sinned
i had impure thoughts while i touched myself and i questioned him
but i’m feeling damn good i’ve been a sinner today
my friends will all be with me in hell anyway
and the time moves quickly as the days move past
who knows how long eternity will last
Passed your way today and I knew you still missed me
Saw your little smile and I knew I should go
Don’t you say the words that make me just hate you
Don’t you say those things and just let it go
Leave me alone
Because I’m proud of myself
For never missing you
Take a look for yourself
I’m doing just fine
And not for one short breath
Have I ever thought of you, no no
And I thank the stars everynight, good god your not mine
Because I’m doing fine
Why you saying things about my behavior
Why you selling lies to make you look good
Don’t you say the words that make me just hate you
Don’t you say those things and just let it go
half glass and the light from the fixture
is barely enough to look at your picture
so i’ll sit, drink my problems away
i feel i’m getting stronger every day
last call and a cigarette light
now won’t you stay with me tonight
because you look so good and i caught that glance
c’mon baby give me one more second chance
dollar wells, $2.50 for a pitcher of beer
how i need i wanted i long for you near
so i’ll sit, drink my problems away
my tolerance is growing every day
So I’ll hold all my reasons, sing a little song
Happily I’m out of your way.
I need ya, feeling so strong that it’s time that I live for today.
And say what I’ve needed to say
Change what is making me stray
Smart enough to drive you away
Selfishly in arrogant ways.
So I told off your preaching
Burn another bridge, sorry that it happened this way
Don’t need ya
Save your little bitch, bow your head and just walk away
Cause I’ve said what I’ve needed to say
Changed what was making me stray
Smart enough to drive you away
Selfishly in arrogant ways.
And I sold all religion
Said a little prayer, ventured off to find my own way
I’ll see ya
Sticking with myself, I’m choosing not to follow today
Cause I’ve said what I’ve needed to say
Changed what was making me stray
Smart enough to drive you away
Selfishly in arrogant ways.
Can you picture how things once were
Or is it all, just set in the back
Do you remember things about her
Or did you just send them all to the back
Now’s it worth wrecking everyday
Can I try to take my time if I may
There’s less but maybe I want more
And I shouldn’t have ever called you a whore
Can you picture how things have been
Or is it all just set in the back
Do you remember anything about me
Wouldn’t blame you for sending me to the back
today I’m not myself and it seems I have no one to blame
victim of my games
the love is 24 casting the tears
nothing is what it seems
do you understand me
Until you burn away
And you go in your own way
the times you put your life on a shelf
and you pray that you meet someone else
the love
the pain and the hate
and the fear
it all builds up over years
Until you burn away
and you go in your own way

give me a moment and lend me your ears now
i can tell by the look on your face, i know we’re probably not your taste but…
who now, who now, who should regret
and i sit back here and take a look at myself
always blaming somebody else
i know well my problems’ at heart.
i know well that it’s mostly my fault
but i’m feeling damn good i’ve been a sinner today
my friends will all be with me in hell anyway
and the time moves quickly as the days move past
who knows how long eternity will last.
who now, who now, who should regret.
hello dear father, forgive me for i might have sinned
i had impure thoughts while i touched myself and i questioned him
but i’m feeling damn good i’ve been a sinner today
my friends will all be with me in hell anyway
and the time moves quickly as the days move past
who knows how long eternity will last
Passed your way today and I knew you still missed me
Saw your little smile and I knew I should go
Don’t you say the words that make me just hate you
Don’t you say those things and just let it go
Leave me alone
Because I’m proud of myself
For never missing you
Take a look for yourself
I’m doing just fine
And not for one short breath
Have I ever thought of you, no no
And I thank the stars everynight, good god your not mine
Because I’m doing fine
Why you saying things about my behavior
Why you selling lies to make you look good
Don’t you say the words that make me just hate you
Don’t you say those things and just let it go
half glass and the light from the fixture
is barely enough to look at your picture
so i’ll sit, drink my problems away
i feel i’m getting stronger every day
last call and a cigarette light
now won’t you stay with me tonight
because you look so good and i caught that glance
c’mon baby give me one more second chance
dollar wells, $2.50 for a pitcher of beer
how i need i wanted i long for you near
so i’ll sit, drink my problems away
my tolerance is growing every day
So I’ll hold all my reasons, sing a little song
Happily I’m out of your way.
I need ya, feeling so strong that it’s time that I live for today.
And say what I’ve needed to say
Change what is making me stray
Smart enough to drive you away
Selfishly in arrogant ways.
So I told off your preaching
Burn another bridge, sorry that it happened this way
Don’t need ya
Save your little bitch, bow your head and just walk away
Cause I’ve said what I’ve needed to say
Changed what was making me stray
Smart enough to drive you away
Selfishly in arrogant ways.
And I sold all religion
Said a little prayer, ventured off to find my own way
I’ll see ya
Sticking with myself, I’m choosing not to follow today
Cause I’ve said what I’ve needed to say
Changed what was making me stray
Smart enough to drive you away
Selfishly in arrogant ways.
Can you picture how things once were
Or is it all, just set in the back
Do you remember things about her
Or did you just send them all to the back
Now’s it worth wrecking everyday
Can I try to take my time if I may
There’s less but maybe I want more
And I shouldn’t have ever called you a whore
Can you picture how things have been
Or is it all just set in the back
Do you remember anything about me
Wouldn’t blame you for sending me to the back
today I’m not myself and it seems I have no one to blame
victim of my games
the love is 24 casting the tears
nothing is what it seems
do you understand me
Until you burn away
And you go in your own way
the times you put your life on a shelf
and you pray that you meet someone else
the love
the pain and the hate
and the fear
it all builds up over years
Until you burn away
and you go in your own way
Coming Soon
Coming soon
Coming soon
i’ve come a long way since we’s turned to me
i can’t say i miss your devoted company
it may have been easy to leave you this way
but your split personality was driving me insane
cause in a blink of an eye
your touch is no longer warm
just a classic case of the calm and the storm
a subtle reminder jogs a lonesome memory
and i’ve come a long way since we’s turned to me
an eight year old photo and letters of pain
my ears grew deaf from hearing you complain
you gave me two options, I show no shame
believe me when I say we’ll never be the same
cause in a blink of an eye
your touch is no longer warm
just a classic case of the calm and the storm
a subtle reminder jogs a lonesome memory
and i’ve come a long way since we’s turned to me
i’ve come a long way since we’s turned to me
i can’t say i miss your devoted company
i smoked too many cigarettes last night
i probably drank more then i should of
roast a bowl turn down the lights
i passed out late up in my room
the night is just a blur today
my days have long been slept away
and i don’t really want to hear you now
cause i know that i should change somehow
that’s why god made tomorrow
why my god made tomorrow
i told you i loved you more then life
but i don’t feel that much for life today
i should have looked out more for you
i’m sorry if i’m a wound that never heals
i’ve had the razor in my hand the gun in my mouth
times of thinking there’s no way out
but i’ve found, that the sun will come around
it was a warm summer night your path crossed mine
written in the stars are lives are defined
can’t you see, we were always meant to be
but now I shudder to think, i almost threw things all away
and I’ll stop to say things like you, you never happen to me
you placed your hand into mine a healing began
all known worries were thrown to the wind
have to say you looked lovely that day
i’ve had the razor in my hand the gun in my mouth
times of thinking there’s no way out
but I’ve found, that the sun will come around
i feel cold
i need sleep
been away and i care no more
feels too safe
and i never would’ve thought
i could’ve been so wrong
but now I shudder to think, i almost threw things all away
and I’ll stop to say things like you, you never happen to me
i walk a thin line
there’s nobody risking more than me right now
than me right now
i know in due time
you’ll show me the way to the door
i know the fine times
the ones that you have when i’m away for long
away for long
you draw your sand lines
they’ll come as my oceans reach shore, yeah
time space and the way that it travels
well i’m pretty sure were doing better today, yeah
in life i no longer need shelter
i’m not sure what else i can say
i walk an thin line
there’s nobody risking more than me right now
than me right now
i know in due time
you’ll show me the way to the door
i know the fine times
the ones that you have when I’m away for long
away for long
i live the high life
there’s nothing i want to need more, yeah
time space and the way that it travels
well i’m pretty sure were doing better today, yeah
in life i no longer need shelter
i’m not sure what else i can say
Coming soon
time thinking out loud about what you’d like to say
and you’re living your life just to pass away
now don’t you admit that i’m the one that fits
you might just regret
the consequence
of being in love with me
because i never would have thought you could just stand there
days of stealing the hearts all away
i never would have thought you could’a loved me
how can it be
you’ll find in time you can always change your mind
and you’re sure to be fine
scold me, so non-effectively
and the days thinking about what you’d like to be
and you’re singing along just so people see
now don’t you admit that i’m the one that fits
you might just regret
the consequence
you, and me, non effectively
life, and love, i’m a step above
it’s too late your the one
yeah the one i’m dreaming of
time thinking out loud about what you’d like to say
and you’re living your life just to pass away
now don’t you admit that i’m the one that fits
you might just regret
the consequence
of being in love with me
because i never would have thought you could just stand there
days of stealing the hearts all away
i never would have thought you could’a loved me
how can it be
you’ll find in time you can always change your mind
and you’re sure to be fine
scold me, so non-effectively
scold me
Sick and tired of being sick and tired
No desire, to keep my soul from fire
Television living my life for me
Don’t know how things became so damn boring
Pain filled life, set on uncommon grounds Don’t think twice if my friends might all come around
Television ruining my life for me
Don’t know how things could come so damn easily
To Go Out
Get High
Get Drunk
Get Fucked, today
Because you never can be sure…
When your God may come and take your life away
And when the darkness falls
You bet your fucking ass it’s here to stay
So Go Out
Get High
Get Drunk
Get Fucked, today
yeah, and give yourself something real
So don’t you lie to me about your destiny
When it’s all inside, just open your mind
Don’t you try to speak while I’m talking to me
It’s all a big waste of your time
Wasting your time
Sick and tired of being sick and tired
No desire, to keep my soul from fire
Television.
Don’t know how things could come so damn easily
To Go Out
Get High
Get Drunk
Get Fucked, today
Because you never can be sure…
When your God may come and take your life away
And when the darkness falls
You bet your fucking ass it’s here to stay
So Go Out
Get High
Get Drunk
Get Fucked, today
yeah, and give yourself something real
A slow cure, a quick fix
And I might hear the end of this
Cool days, warm nights
And we just may get things right
Until I sit back and wonder why
As I pull the needle from my eye
I know I have much more to give
As I cross my heart and I hope to live
A lot better than this
Today I’m just not myself
I’m guilty from somebody else
Nother times, nother ways
But they hurt me just the same
Should I care do you know
Should I let my feelings go with the wind
Should I be, no not me
Some rehearsed insanity
And again I will…
now i’m stuck between you and i
i have my reasons but i don’t ask why
now i got numb while you were away
but now you’re back and here to stay
and i don’t mind
it might be you, hell it could be me
it might be us generally
and i’ll never know just how you feel
and i’ll never know just what was real
but i don’t mind
you don’t always just know what to say
but i’d take your mumble any day
and we always spend so much time
and i’ve noticed hell it’s mainly mine
but I don’t mind
good evening could you look at me here
give me a moment and lend me your ears now
i can tell by the look on your face, i know we’re probably not your taste but…
