Painted my face to make you think I look nice
Your sweat smells sweet you’re made of concrete
Let’s pour some drinks I wanna see you smile
I’m not very funny but I can try
I really could use a friend right now
Sharing dirty secrets nobody can hear us
And we’ve got plenty of time ahead us
I’ll like whatever you like
if I don’t then I’ll be quiet
Wanna be good to you
I wanna get to know you
I’ll never get tired of staring at you
Cos you and me are best friends
I really could use a friend right now
My existence is sand if you ruin this
So come and be my best friend
You and me are best friends
Always be my best friend
You and me are best friends

Apology

I'm so sorry for all the pain that I have caused
My head's too deep inside my ass
I'll leave it behind, I'll run and I hide
I don't know why I don't know why
Great wall between rest of the world and me
I just can't see I just can't see
Please forgive me
Can you forgive me
Hide from mirrors hide from reality
I'll keep on running 'til the end of time
Hide from mirrors hide from reality
I'll keep on running 'til the end of time
Great wall between rest of the world and me
I just can't see I just can't see
Look around me
I'm trying to see
Look around me
Look around round round round look around me
After all
We all get what we deserve
And after all
We all get what's coming for us

Is it true that evil always wins
All I've learned is turn the other cheek
Looking for comfort looking for a home
but it's not found here
There's no use
in crying mommy now
You are nothing
don't dare to think different
Wipe your eyes and turn the other cheek
Looking for comfort looking for a home
but it's not found here
You are trash in a pretty flower bed
I am nothing
Will not forget
Not allowed in parties
not allowed on playdates
I walk alone
I am trash in a pretty flower bed
I am like you will not forget
Raise a little family hate your spouse
and die of stroke
There's a place in hell reserved for you
a place in hell reserved for you
I was like you, wish I was like you
Living your lives like it ain't no thing
It makes me sick
Do you realise what you did?
I will never be like you
Booze and parties
kids and careers
It's all the same
I want nothing from your world

Simple Life

Outside other children play
It's a thousand miles away
I am afraid of the sun
It burns my bones to dust
Ready for a breakdown
Ready for the takeoff
Find where's safe
and close the door
Gotta find shelter and defend
Can't be weak and depend
I'm not ready to face the world
I lead a simple life
Take great measures to survive
Caution is my name
Don't wanna deal with this again
I can't eat I do not dream
I've become a shadow of me
i'm not ready to face the world
If other people define you
Where you gain humanity
Then I guess I'm an animal
Ready for breakdown
Ready for takeoff

I See You

You're the kind that has a price tag for everything
But you really don't, don't value anything
Trying to gain control over our basic needs
Satisfy your endless greed
I can see right through you I see you
I can see
You fool others but you won't fool me
We read between the lines despite your machinery
There is only so much that the people can take
Big business dictates
Big business decides
What the politicans decide
Closed doors
No public debate
Actions so transparent
Your time will come an end
