Believe
Bravely I look further than I see Knowing things I know I cannot be, not now I'm so aware of where I am, but I don't know where that is And there's something right in front of me and I Touch the fingers of my hand And I wonder if it's me Holding on and on to Theories of prosperity Someone who can promise me I believe in me Tomorrow I was nothing, yesterday I'll be Time has fooled me into thinking it's a part of me Nothing in this room but empty space No me, no world, no mind, no face Touch the fingers of my hand and tell me if it's me Holding on and on to Love, what else is real A religion that appeals to me (oh) I believe in me Can you turn me off for just a second, please Turn me into something faceless, weightless, mindless, homeless Vacuum state of peace On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on I believe in me Wait for me, I'm nothing on my own I'm willing to go on, but not alone, not now I'm so aware of everything, but nothing seems for real and As long as you're in front of me then I'll I watch the fingers of our hands And I'm grateful that it's me Holding on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on I believe in me
In Your Room
As she falls down and hurts her head She's lying still but she's not dead Awakens slowly, sees a picture of herself On the wall as she gets up Straightens her dress and calls me up She says: "I know now, I'm a whole now. Can you come?" In your room Where both of you are talking Your good side and your bad Discussing who has better hair In your space I hear four feet walking And there are two more knocking In case you're wondering I'm still on your side As she embraces all of me I want her only to need me It doesn't matter what I tell her because she changes Her mind before she speaks And tends to talk before she thinks But how I love her I know there's truth for you somewhere If I were wise I'd take you there But I'm not, at least not yet So I'll be watching you instead In your room, in your room In your room I can wander around forever And I recognise the color of the walls that we painted In your chair That I broke because I was careless I can sit and watch you dance around My words are spoken, I am on your side My words are spoken, I am on your side In your room
Everything For Free
I don't know who you are But you seem very nice So will you talk to me Shall I tell you a story Shall I tell you a dream They think I'm crazy But they don't know that I like it here It's nice in here I get everything for free Have you been here before Shall I show you around It's very pretty Have you come here to stay Well, you sure picked a day My name is Billy It's my birthday, you're invited to my party down the hall Where I go, what I'll become or who I am or what I'll be I'll never know, but I am sure that I'll get everything for free I'm not troubled or sad I'm just ready for bed It's been a long day Before they switch off the lights It truly was a delight They think I'm crazy But they don't know that I like it here It's nice in here Where I go, what I'll become or who I am or what I'll be I'll never know, but I am sure that I'll get everything for free I don't know who you are But you seem very nice So will you talk to me Have you been here before Well, you sure picked a day They think I'm crazy
Now Is Mine
My past, my future, my disease Perhaps collapse, to make me seize A moment just a breeze Greatful, humble, I allow These words to be the past somehow I wonder Am I here now Am I here now I feel hear see and it confuses me I am wrong I am here now Is mine, I'll take it all around the world Take my future, past it's fine But now is mine My precious, present will you bloom To make this fourth dimension womb Stop asking. Stop asking why All I know is all I am Will never fully understand my breathing I try, how I try to feel hear see and it confuses me I am wrong I am here now. Is mine I'll take it all around the world. Take my future, past it's fine But now is mine
Butterflies Instead
I lock the door and lock my head And dream of butterflies instead The beauty of their colored wings The trees, the grass and pretty things Imagination fills the void of my existence Daddy says "I love you girl, it's not your fault Your mom and me don't get along" I know he's lying, I know there's no such thing as Inexplicable I hear, forget, this world in bed And suddenly the sun comes up That's when my pets all come alive They cheer me up and tell me Everything's alright Stuffed animals are always right My favorite song, my favorite show I wonder if they even know Or if they care or if they even notice I am standing there I want my pets to come alive And cheer me up and tell me Everything's alright Stuffed animals are always right Everything's alright Stuffed animals are always right Alright... My eyes all red, the baby's wet And someone has to get that phone I want my pets to come alive and Cheer me up and tell me Alright... I lock the door and lock my head And dream of butterflies instead
If You're Not Scared
Outside it's raining still you shine How I've missed your trembling hands inside of mine I've been away for ages, still you care Do you count the Sundays when I'm there Teach me how to watch this game The way you see it through your magical frame Time is ticking, try to see That I am you and you are me Don't deny that you're afraid to go Don't deny that you want to cry Look around and watch your children grow I feel love in every sigh If you're not scared, then why am I Tell me stories, tell me more Make me feel guilty for being bored Tell me how to pick up things I've dropped Please keep talking, never stop Don't deny that you're afraid to go Don't deny that you want to cry Look around and watch your children grow I feel love in every sigh Pray for eternity to fly Don't understand but how I try If you're not scared, then why am I
20.000 Seconds
20,000 seconds since you left and I'm still counting And 20,000 reasons to get up, get some thing done But I'm still waiting Is someone kind enough to Pick me up and give me food, assure me that the world is good But you should be here, you should be here How colors can change and even the texture of the rain And what's that ugly little stain on the bathroom floor I'd rather not deal with that right now I'd rather be floating in space somewhere or Worry about the Ozone layer And it's almost like a corny movie scene But I'm out of frame and the lighting's bad And the music has no theme And were all so strong when nothing's wrong And the world is at our feet But how small we are when our love is far away And all you need is you
Too Many Happy Faces
Too many happy faces, I wonder what that means Are you personally offended by an iron on your jeans Too many happy faces, is that more than you can bear Or is it part of what you should be, lack of hygiene in your hair (Oohooh... Oohooh...) (Oohooh... Ooh...) If I thought you were clever, I'd be even more upset And if you knew what you were saying, I might even have respect As a Christian I should love you But I don't need to hear your depressing remarks See your know it all face on TV And I couldn't care less about what you want to say And I wish that it wasn't just me Oh I don't think I'm better or kinder of heart I'm as guilty as I can be But every chance I get to put a smile on someone's face I will take it, believe me Too many happy faces How eloquent you are You know someday I think you'll Become a big big superstar But I don't need ...
Cocoon Crash
Every single night in bed A black cross says: "Perhaps you're getting better I'd like to thank you for your efforts To promote what really matters Whenever you're about to fall Remember this, it's not a news flash Don't pretend to know it all, but go ahead Call it a cocoon crash What I really see in you Is nothing like the things you do As you are doing them, right now What you would really love to win To become the air as well as trash Is to get rid of all your skin Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash Call it what you will, call it what you will Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash" Suddenly the ego that I used to have Is no bigger than an eyelash Clearly I remember someone told me "Hold on tight, here's your cocoon crash What I really see in you Is nothing like the things you do As you are doing them, right now What you would really love to win To become the air as well as trash Is to get rid of all your skin Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash Call it what you will, call it what you will Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash Call it what you will Call it what you will, yeah (you will) Call it what you will, yeah (you will)"
Hide
Watch me, I'm coming closer I am the mood you're in tonight Pretty poser, perfect armageddon bride I am a circle, it feels right I am the one who swallows light Multiplying parasite Perfect features, perfect sight You who thought you had it all Lost your leaves before the fall You should have killed me You should have tried Armageddon bride, hide, hide Watch me, bright but blurry Yet you knew I've always been In a hurry to contaminate what's clean Drawing whiskers in the sky for fun, to cover up the sun As you sting me with your laughter Hide, hide (armageddon bride) You who thought you had it all Lost your leaves before the fall You should have killed me You should have tried You better hide Armageddon You who thought you had it all Lost your leaves before the fall Hide...
Freestyle
See their heads up in a cloud Watch them follow what goes on Through a little screen Oh no, the picture's gone There is always something else to do As long as it's no tricky conversation About the meaning of our lives Or the reason why we pray before we die I'm afraid I have to say that All of this combined with me Is very wicked chemistry It might take a while, turn me on Live freestyle, come on Take your time, turn me on Live freestyle, come on Come on let your wallet be your witness Put your feelings in a can Idolize a common man and join the band You might fall for that but All of this combined with me Is very wicked chemistry It might take a while, turn me on Live freestyle, come on Take your time, turn me on Live freestyle, come on... Everywhere, picture you are dancing just like Fred Astaire Close your eyes and feel the wind blow through your hair And cool your perfect body and blow away the cross you used to bear It might take a while, turn me on Live freestyle, come on Take your time, turn me on Live freestyle, come on...
Quiet Little Place
In this quiet little place I can't remember having known a different pace In this quiet little place I can surrender to the beauty of its face And now everything I see Whether it's an airplane or a tree It makes me wonder About the things I must have missed And the chains around my wrists They are no longer In this quiet little place I can't imagine what it's like to be back home Where they care about what time it is And spend their days answering the phone And now everything I feel Whether it's fiction or it's real It's so much clearer Like the color of this light It seems more dangerous and bright But I don't fear her And slowly it fades, I'm back in the race I have to fight it, I know I don't want to go away In this quiet little place You run your fingers through my hair and whisper "Hey" And no matter how I try I can't seem to think of anything better to say
God In My Bed
Before last night my heart was grey Like my country is today Big kaleidoscope I see A thousand people gaze at me To break the ice I start to sing About a cell called everything A cell so big a word like small Is suitable to say it all Is the fighting over? I lost track Like a wave it all comes back Same kaleidoscope I see Someone standing next to me It's hard to do, it's hard to try Hard to stop wondering why Do I keep filing every case When the answer's on your face You can't see her but you do Music is transparent too So join me, sing with all your might Hallelujah, praise tonight Far away and long ago Wintertime meant feeling low Now every single star looks bright God was in my bed last night
Winners
If I could put you in a frame I'd draw you smiling With a cigarette in your mouth and your hands reaching out for something If I could, if I could wear all your clothes I'd still be different And if I had your speaking voice I'd never whisper I'd talk and talk and talk We will be winners Our heads glued together All is indefinite in you Whatever you've been told Don't turn to God because you're cold Try the black one, white is nice If you want blue, you'll pay the price Is there no room for us I'll make a space for us We will be winners Our heads glued together All is indefinite in you Meet me in front of the room where we kissed Where you changed me, estranged me Where no one resists Where I followed you, hollowed by you We will be winners Our heads glued together And all is indefinite in you We will be winners We will be winners
