Everybody Knows That You're Insane (QOTSA Acoustic Cover)

Fractions of her light
Starting to fade
Disappear

You thought she will be there
To guide you back home
Till the end 

The absent of her smile
Like a bone in your throat
Digging in
-
It's getting hard to breath
Your thoughts are giving in
You know that no one can
Grasp what you have been
-
Can you open up
And feel once again
As you were
 
Something deep is lost
Never to be 
Found

So you fighting there
The battle to keep
Yourself
-
No one held your hand
No one understand
None will be the same
Till you'll meet again

Fractions Of Light

I could never be your savior
I can barely save myself
Mix emotions feel with hanger
Touch my heart and make it disappear

Oh i wish to be a stranger
No one knows who i am
Roll me in a piece of paper
And stash me in a secret place

People come to advice me
Do something with yourself
Be a lawyer or a broker
Money is the only way

Every person needs another
To feel better about himself
I will stay here in the gutter
So you could keep all that you have 
 
Iv'e fallen down
Dont need your help im fine
Just lying here
Much easier

Gutter - Inga Spiering & Shepsteen

so he we are, I am here
stepped all the lines on my way 
forcing the truth on my self
i thought that i could be better than this
will i be here when the storm is gone
blind as a bat searching  
-
discover the things
i was hoping to
can't comprehend where i was
till now

cynic life
on a pattern of misunderstood
trying to fit in the void
of unfamiliar turf  

fighting the thoughts that i have
not to give it back
loneliness creeping with in
but i push it back down

killing time
as im trying to figure it out
all the knowledge i have
make no sense  
in this peculiar world

nice to see you again
my emptiness
i thought i already won
this chase
escorting my path
always follows behind
i accept 
your warmth

Better Than This

I’m on my knees
would you leave me alone?

all that you give
I gave in return

The struggles remain
it all be the same after I’m gone

The tears in your eyes
Digs through my bones

you kept turning me down
and I came back for more

All is dead
and time that we spend
will keep running on

There was no other way
what was there more left to say

We are together in this
you say that I won’t be missed
why won’t you look at my face?
Falling from grace

And I gave it it all
Up till we fall
Cursing and punching the walls

Promises that we had
kept us away from the end
holding on to what’s left

And we broke all the rules
nothing left more to lose
Rotten never grows again

Rotten Never Grows Back

Coming home to see an empty space
not long ago I thought I would be missed
everlong this feeling will continue 
am I alive or is it all a sham

Staring at the everlasting fire
overcome the obstacles I fight

Tampering with choices that I made
time is fast and I can’t go back
will I survive this journey till the end
hold me close I’m not ready yet 

Will I see the end in the horizon
stepping back from all that I have done

Nothing is safe
Really nothing
Nothing at all
All I need
All I need 
Is Nothing
Nothing at all

Nothing

Not a clue
where it ends
Standing somewhere on a thread 
Call my name
whisper lies
tell me that I’m still alive

far from sin
the story told
digging deeper to my hole

fake a smile
nod you head
all for nothing
guard the act  

in the sea
I will drown
all those feelings
I hold on

Far away
from the ground
plunging faster facing down 

the symphony
at the last chord
serving madness
without a cause

run away
from the dark
guiltiness power
pin me down

still I try
to keep up
all the structure I’ve been taught

chase the sun
for a light
give reason to arrive


out of this
I will rise
chasing upwards back my trust 
sobriety
will be my goal 
lay me softly in its warmth

Sobriety

Another day to create
slowly falling out of bed
step by step

Stories that I have held
sitting heavily on in my head
lingering

Don’t come in
I know just how it ends
don’t begin
to make me feel again
I’ve been there once before

I’m sick of chasing my own tale
finding reasons to remain
in this game

all I need is a chance
to find the needle in the hay
and run away

cannot tell
the darkness from the light
all the same
I will never know if I will never try

I know it’s just a phase
falling breaking everything
but it will pass        

I’ll come back up to my ground
facing all that I have done
smiling

Needle In The Hay

Blinded creatures 
crawling on the ground
searching substance
something to hold on

Dark black circles 
underneath the eyes
drunk by power
vomiting their lies 

Junkies
nothing can distract them from their goal
leaches
sucking all the goodness from us all

Run in circles
around the oracle
 “Give me give me!”
“I just want it all”

underneath  
lies the awful truth
lust and greed
Guiding our rules

Higher
climbing one another to the top
controlled
matter stronger than a breathing soul

Reckless fire burning through the walls
and the fear of losing all
knocking on the door

Oracle

Silent whispers
restrict my rest 
crawl outside my door

Keep the distance
from the source 
try to push it down

Fear the feeling
and the thought
I might lose it all

Waves of sickness
crashing down
whipping all the joy  

Hanging in there
stripped from pride 
naked by despair

Endless reasons
to give up
pressure of the void

Standing nowhere
shivering
coldness of my soul


Riding sadness
jumping truth
just to reach to the point

Take my spirit 
take my soul
I’m just good as done

Teeth of time 
biting hard
covering my hope

Overthinking
stepping back
I just can’t control

All those feelings
 down my back
wish I was just numb

Nowhere to hide
self-aware
can’t ignore it more

Embrace the sadness
no one’s fearless
story of it all

The Void

Effort in disguise
rolling from her eyes
preaching all the lies
louder

Silently he sighs
“what have I become”
powerless and numb
dying

Stepping on his wounds
just to hear his voice
“tell me that you are…mine”

Prisoner of lust
waiting to be trust
he just wanted some
 love

There are no rules
for the lost souls

Raging in a blink
he just never thinks
all she ever need is
warmth

She is waiting there 
maybe he will change
“give him one more chance
to prove it”

Driven by control 
he can end it all
manipulating to 
keep her

Soaking in denial 
sitting in the fire
just not to be alone
and die

No one knows
how to solve
the life puzzle

How can you see what you see when you look in her eyes
How can you see what you see when you look in his eyes
How can you see what you see when you look in my eyes

How can you see what you see when you look in her eyes
How can you see what you see when you look in his eyes
How can you see what you see when you look in my eyes

Puzzle

Fear
Why won’t you let go
Let
Let my conscious flow

Wind
Blows
Trying to stand strong
Blind
Sore
Just can’t see it all

Hope
Is my only goal
Cave 
In
To the unknown 

Calm
Breath
You can let it go
All
None
As it was before

Time is passing people come and go
There’s no reason to be in a hole
Countless fights you just can’t win it all
Living is not something you can learn

As It Was Before

In The Dark

Lazer Punch

Just doing my shit hoping someone will like it.
