Static Thoughts

I'm struggling to make out what's fake and what's real
I'm struggling to even decide what I feel
I'm losing my mind, but it's fine I suppose
'Cause everything else is the same as before

Everything seems to be falling apart
The world is okay, I'm just not keeping up
It's not long before I collapse on the floor
But everything else is the same as before

I've been waiting for an answer to this question since forever
Rid of all that doesn't matter, now there's nothing left remaining
I've been waiting for an answer to this question since forever
Rid of all that doesn't matter, now there's no one left to help me

I've been waiting for an answer to this question since forever
Rid of all that doesn't matter, now there's nothing left remaining
There's too many I's in this song, one can figure who's the problem
Rid of all that doesn't matter, now there's no one left to save me

Doesn't Matter

Every time I look into your eyes
I want to learn to read your mind
I want to know what hides behind
You don't have to hide your soul from me
Cause anything that I might see
Is better still than what I feel

And I understand
You've been through a lot
A bit second-hand
Looking for second thought
That last one could come out
A little bit wrong
Looks like my judgment
Has left this song

It's all about you now
What do you feel now
What do you want now
What will you do now
I want you to feel
Just a little bit better
Everything else
Doesn't really matter
Here's what's in my soul
And you may not like it
Cause if I were you I
Wouldn't like it either
So here's a problem
Without a solution
But I still believe
You can make a conclusion

Why do I always have to look
For ways to reinterpret truth
That's standing right in front of me?
Looks like I don't want to believe
That I'm not only meant to grieve
That someone somewhere would just suddenly

Believe in me
And set me free
It may sound cheesy
But it seems to be
That you made my heart
Beat again
That you made me
Believe that I can
Write

A song about you now
What do you feel now
What do you want now
What will you do now
I want you to feel
Just a little bit better
Everything else
Doesn't really matter
Here's what's in my soul
And you may not like it
Cause if I were you I
Wouldn't like it either
So here's a problem
Without a solution
But I still believe
You can make a conclusion

I know one day this will fade
The butterflies will fly away
But I will still want you to stay
Nobody gets me like you do
So can you help me get you too?
I really want to make you feel
That everything I say is real
That every time you look at me
There's nowhere else I want to be 
I don't deserve you but I still
Will try my hardest to fulfill
Everything you're looking for
Every time you ask for more

Here's what's in my soul
You don't need to like it
Cause honestly I
Don't really like it either
So here's a problem
Without a solution
But I still believe
We can make a conclusion

Will

Sometimes you feel like giving up
Just lying down and never waking up
How did it come to this?
What kind of turn you missed?
And why the truth's so bitter
And dream's so sweet?

But it's fine
It's okay
You just gotta look at all of it this way
Being happy can be tough
At least hoping is enough
That it's fine
It's okay

Why does it always seem to be
That all the worst is happening to me
Why does it always feel
That something is trying to kill
The rest of what's left of
My will to live

But it's fine
It's okay
Even if it's not
It's gonna be one day
When the world's unfair to you
Show them all what you can do
So it's fine
It's okay

No, no don't give up
'Cause even hoping is enough
And life is not about the ups and downs
It's all about the moment
That is happening right now
So repeat like your holy sacred vow

That it's fine
It's okay
Even if the world is pushing you away
Don't give in to static thoughts
What they are is what you're not
So it's fine
It's okay

Yeah it's fine
It's okay
Even if it's not, it's gonna be one day
Being happy can be tough
At least hoping is enough
So it's fine
It's okay

It's Fine

We're here again
Two whole years have passed
I haven't learned
Well, color me impressed

Every choice
We've ever made has led
Us to this very
Moment of regret

Bet you knew
You've made this choice before
So what were you
Exactly looking for?
You've always been
Straightforward and sincere
So was it pain
Of loneliness and fear
That led you to
Playing with me again?
I like the game
But your rules don't sound fair

I'm not angry, I'm not bitter
I just wanted you to know
I believe you can be better
But it's time to let you go

And I believe
That this still could have worked
After all
I really haven't learned

First Snow

Sitting in your room
In the loom
Of thoughts
That are just too dark to have
Nothing to
Look forward to
Again
Regret is all that's left

Lying in your bed
Can't forget
How you thought
This was gonna end
Was happiness
Just a myth
That you were dumb enough to believe?

Were you lying to
Yourself when you
Thought
That you knew what to do
And how can you
Be ever sure
That you know anything anymore?

Goodnight
You'll never win this fight
Goodnight
Just leave it all behind

You tried, you fought
You gave your best
You failed what's not even a test
So just give up and go to sleep

Goodnight
You'll never win this fight
Goodnight
Just leave it all behind

Goodnight
You'll never win this fight
Goodnight
Just leave it all behind

Lullaby

A sharp remark, a stupid joke
I'm sick of you, but I'll laugh it off
What's the point of this masquarade
You know very well that I'd love to hate
You but that's not what I'm supposed to do
No, that's not what I'm supposed to do
I'm supposed to love you
You treat me worse than anyone else
But you are close, so no one ever cares
Love is meant to be unconditional
So shut your mouth now and let your own
Doubts consume you whole
While you're trying to stitch up this hole
But I have had enough of you
I've closed myself in my small room

And I'll never let you in
You'll just shit in every corner
And then pretend that it was all my fault
Stop telling me
That i could be a little warmer
I'm getting on much better when I'm cold


Knocking's getting louder
And now you're trying to break in
But till the moment i allow it
You're never getting in
Stop screaming all your lungs 
Off you cannot make me care
You'll never get to my heart
'Cause it isn't even there
I've put it in a lockbox
And got rid of the key
So no one gets to hurt it
Not even if it's me
And maybe I will die alone
And maybe after I am gone
Maybe you will understand
Maybe world is fair

But I'll never let you in
You'll just shit in every corner
And then pretend that it was all my fault
Stop telling me
That i could be a little warmer
I'm getting on much better when I'm cold

I'll never let you in
No, I won't ever let you in

This is the last goodbye
Cause I am out of time
Out of breath and out of things to care about
It's far too late to cry
Too late to ask me why
And to apologize

I'll never let you in
You'll just shit in every corner
And then pretend that it was all my fault
Stop telling me
That i could be a little warmer
I'm getting on much better when I'm

But I'll never let you in
You'll just shit in every corner
And then pretend that it was all my fault
Stop telling me
That i could be a little warmer
I'm getting on much better when I'm cold
Getting on much better when I'm cold

When I'm cold

At The Door

Why is my hope always so cruel to me
Why can't things be the way they used to be
I never wanted anything I couldn't really get
You can't be disappointed if there's nothing to expect

The first time I saw you how could I know
That you'd bring me pain I'd try not to show
I used to always think that I am cynical and cool
But I am just naive, pathetic and a hopeless fool

So let us play game of pretend
And I'll waste every chance I get
To later drown in regret
"Just Be yourself"'s the rule of thumb
But not the way you are right now
False hopes will only bring you down

Every day's worse
Than the one before
And simply surviving
Became a chore
How did I get into this
And how do I get out
How do I get rid of all these
Neverending doubts

Play game of pretend
And I'll waste every chance I get
To later drown in regret
"Just Be yourself"'s the rule of thumb
But not the way you are right now
False hopes will only bring you down

There's no point trying to make a change
Refurbishing my fancy cage
Just do or die and nothing more,
"Just be yourself", gee, thanks, I'm cured

The thing is that I'm never sure
I'm too obsessed and insecure
It's getting too much to endure 

So we just play game of pretend
And I waste every chance I get
To later drown in regret
"Just Be yourself"'s the rule of thumb
But not the way you are right now
False hopes will only bring you down

So we just play game of pretend
And I waste every chance I get
To later drown in regret
"Just Be yourself"'s the rule of thumb
But not the way you are right now
False hopes will only bring you down

Game Of Pretend

Something has bothered me for days
Pretends to go, but always stays
And I can't keep up with the pace

Of feeling sane and breathing free
Something's wrong with me
Something's wrong with me

I've been pretending I'm okay
For so damn long that I've forgot 
What really means to be that way
And that I certainly am not
The one I want to seem to be
Something's wrong with me
Something's wrong with me

It has been changing day to day
Sometimes I feel like I can cope
But as I move further away
I'm losing what's left of my hope
Of feeling happy with myself
Of feeling close to someone else

I don't want to be
A liar
I don't want to tell them what they want to hear

I don't want to be
A pretender
I don't want to show them want they want to see

I don't want to be
Lost
I don't want to know the cost of being me

I don't want to be

Lost in static thoughts
Peace of mind is all I want
Endless noise is all I've got

Everything you say
I've heard already anyway
Can you please just go away
