Bloom

bloom
of a new flower
grows up
then realizes reality.
becomes disappointed
but carries on
(keep calm and carry on)
years go on by
too late to go back
perseveres with a smaller smile
smile goes
leaving nothing but a small tear behind
more time flies, haha
but no more laughter
just long years and bitter tears
wilts
falters
hardly
remaining.
anything but
reality
God
save us all
death
of an old flower
goodnight
ladies
goodnight
goodnight
goodnight
goodnight
goodnight

Lonely Hearts Parade

I can't explain
I feel over-drained
And I guess I'm lost
In this Brave New World
Hey, hey, hey, hey (x2)
Lonely Hearts Parade (x3)
I can't explain
I wanna feel pain
and I guess I'm fine
I need some peace of mind
Oh why am I here
Oh why am I not
Oh why do I feel fear
talking to you
I'm so uneasy
I'm so not punk
I don't feel myself
Around you
Hey, hey, hey, hey (x2)
Lonely Hearts Parade (x2)
Hadda bomb, Hadda bomb, Hadda bomb (x8)
Hey, hey, hey, hey (x2)
Lonely Hearts Parade (x2)

Just Say When

When the light appears, man
When the light appears
We'll fall apart all around
Eventually stumble by, gone
When the levee breaks, love
When the levee breaks
You'll see who really gives a shit
The ones who will push you above the waves
When I'm gone, you'll say
"Judgement Day
was his constant misery;
now he'll be happy"
Now I am forgotten
I don't mind the weather
I've got knives, long sleeves, and sweaters
I admit I have a fear
Of the dark when you're not home, dear
When the light appears, man
When the light appears
We'll find God in a bar
Sipping some wine
When the levee breaks, love
When the levee breaks
I promise you'll open
your heart to this world, oh...
I don't mind the weather
I've got knives, long sleeves, and sweaters
I admit I have a fear
Of the dark when you're not home, dear
I don't mind the weather
I've got knives, long sleeves, and sweaters
I admit I have a fear
Of the dark when you're not home, dear
When I'm gone, you'll say
"Judgement Day
was his constant misery;
now he'll be happy"
Now I am forgotten

can't you accept me
as somebody else
can't you accept me
as someone else
can't you forget me
i'm easy to forget
can't you forget me
like dumb tv sitcoms
can't you erase me
i'm so forgetful
can't you erase me
i'm so pitiful
can't you forgive me
my sins are rather fleeting
can't you forgive me
or at least forget
won't you sit by me
i need the company
won't you sit by me
we don't have to talk much
don't you remember
don't you remember
don't you remember
why I went to the bathroom
at 2 in the morning
(to feel something)

To The Moon
04:03

She is a symphony
She is my moon
She is the light that I had seen
Back when I almost gave up
She is a lovely dream
She is my dream
She is the infinite starlight
Hushing me back to sleep
She takes me to the moon
Dream, she is my dream
Sing, sing of her name
Moon, she is my moon
Sleep, under her spell
To The Moon
She is the slow pattern forming
Across the frame of her door
and red weather bleeds through
And the peaks and valleys of her sighs
Edging along my frame of mind
Lovely breaths
Oh, they're such sweet breaths
She takes me to the moon
Dream, she is my dream
Sing, sing of her name
Moon, she is my moon
Sleep, under her spell
To The Moon
Merci beaucoup, mon Dieu
Pour mon amant
J’adore ma douce
lumière des étoiles
Je t’aime à la lune et retour

Someday

everyone that you know
is looking right at you
and you don't have an answer
so you just say what you can
and you just hope they accept your deceit
cause that's your best
but there is hope for tomorrow
and maybe someday
tomorrow will finally come
and then you look all around
after you fell asleep
at the wheel of your life
and you look down at your feet
cut by broken glass and dreams
reflecting back your eyes
but there is hope for tomorrow
and maybe someday
tomorrow will finally come
i can't promise truth
i can't promise hope
i can't promise that
i feel anything now
but i can put on a mask
a rather vaudevillian act
but there is hope for tomorrow
and maybe someday
tomorrow will finally come
(x2)

"It helps to have a routine,"
He said, head drooping.
It's been a long day;
It's been twenty years of long days.
And every day passes into the next
Without any consequence
Or any pomp or circumstance
And always awake before the streetlights shut off
And always asleep before the news are over
(x6)
