You've overcome so many tribulations, why not be optimistic about this one?

Bury My Love

1966 Nova

Embers Between Us

"Beer and Mici" is, for Romanians, a paradise on Earth. Mici, (pronounced as 'meech') is a grilled skinless sausage. Beer, mici, bread and mustard is what we dream of. And the river that flows through Bucharest, mentioned in the song, is the Dambovitsa. 

Life is tough, I've had enough, costs are always risin' 
I work all day and half the night, I'm always compromisin' 
There's a way to deal with crazy situations 
Above the Dambovitsa, a choir of angels singing 
And the angels sing ….

[Chorus]
Hey, hey! beer and mici, I wanna live life on a beach
Hey, hey! beer and mici, I wanna live life on a beach/
But can my dreams come true …?

[Verse 2]
Kids to feed, we've all got needs, don't have time to wonder
The future's dark, what's that I hear, the sound of distant thunder? 
There's a way to deal with crazy situations 
Above the Dambovitsa, a choir of angels singing/

Falling Away

When I wake up, I don’t wanna
Face the mirror, I'm a goner
Fake my cool, my chest gets hotter
It burns like soda in my veins
Missed that moment, lost that dollar
Scuffed up ego, hot on the collar
Buzzin’ head, where's the gain?
Nobody’s driving me sane

You talk slick, I can’t stand it
Go ahead, tear your bandage
You just want to drag my name
While I cave in, you play savage
God, I hate it — but I manage
You make me sort of enjoy the pain

I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up feelin’ like a fake, oh
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up - next to my mistakes, no
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Lose my place or lose my grip
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up - just to exist

Keep on loopin’, thoughts keep shootin’
Half alive and half rebootin’
Hold my breath like it’s a stunt
Play that role and keep disputin’
Truth’s diluted, mind’s polluted
Choke me gently, call it blunt

You're so proud, I can’t mute it
Tear me down and refute it
You make me want to burn places I've seen
But I still stay, barely rooted
Freaking out, wired, deluded
You make me wanna claw through my screen

I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up feelin’ like a fraud, oh
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up prayin’ - oh my god, no
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Keep losing sleep I can’t recall
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Keep being your light in the hall

Told myself that it gets better
But I’m still taped up with tether
Every day I come undone
Take my face off, switch the weather
If I break, well, call it clever
Say I ran — but I never run

I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up stitched into a mask, oh
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Rehearse answers, you never ask, no
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Chase the lines that they made bleed
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up just to not succeed


I Don't Wanna


Breaking up is easy
That’s what I’ve always found
Make a phone call, send a message
Burn it to the ground

You could call me cruel
But that wouldn’t be kind
It’s just that when I’ve had my fill
I never change my mind

Making up is easy
I know that to be true
Touch your hand, kiss your lips
Drink my fill of you

Let’s repeat the cycle
Make and break again
This thing that we’ve got going
Always stays the same

Going,
Going round in circles 
Starting out
Only to return

Locked together 
In an endless dance
We can’t help it
Don’t ever learn.

Walking out is easy
Slip the key under the door
No need for explanations
We’ve said it all before

Coming back is simple
Just a knock and walk back in
You’ll let me in without a word
We’ll start it up again

Forgetting every moment
Experience leaves no trace
We talk about the future
But I can’t remember your face

Starting up is easy
It’s ending that’s the trick
We tell ourselves it’s different
But nothing ever sticks

Going,
Going round in circles 
Starting out
Only to return

Locked together 
In an endless dance
We can’t help it
Don’t ever learn.
