They Say

Just a piece of rotting flesh
Hanging to dry while life flashes by
As long as you’re secure, they say

It’s for the sake of my future
Because I’m all that matters
They say, and smile, with teeth so white

A product in the corner, waiting to be polished
Not that it’s about the shine
It’s what’s inside that really matters
They say, and pose next to an empty vase

Stay within the lines, it’s dangerous outside
They say, and lock me in, just in case
You should follow your own dreams
What do you want to be?
A lawyer, a pop-star, a manager?

Not that it’s about the money
Just for the sake of your future
It’s not about fame, they say, and mention their name

Taste It

The more I think the less I breathe
The less we want the things we need
How come we always forget the pain
When loneliness turns one insane?
Limits and borders I’ve found to cross
When only one thing feels like a loss
And if I lose I’ll trigger a war
No one is innocent, not anymore

And if you lose you let yourself drown
You’ll keep sinking, turn yourself down
If you actually win, you’ll become bored
You will quickly forget about your reward
But those golden seconds of when you have won
They are worth everything you’ve ever done

Worthless

You weren’t worth the lie
You never made me high
It wasn’t worth the try
The flame was too dry
Oh and that worthless smile
It all felt like an endless mile
So pardon me if I’m cold
Too many empty words have been told
There’s a lot you still don’t know
You didn’t catch me, so watch me go

Vid Gränsen

Här stĂ¥r jag och ser pĂ¥ medan du lider
Ă…h, sĂ¥ kall och självisk jag är
Hör hur du kvider, jag fattar, det svider
Smärtan och ensamheten som dig klär
Men vill du inte veta vilka planer jag smider?
NĂ¥got ska göras, frĂ¥gan är när
Har du glömt om alla andras bekymmer och strider?
All oro som MITT hjärta bär?
Du som allt förstör och förvrider
Hör inte längre hemma här

When It Comes To Us Two

I wonder
Am I the smart one while you’re naive?
Or are you brave while I’m the coward?

White Net

Of all those yelling people
I chose to speak with you
All you were looking for
Was someone sane and true
I enjoyed the challenge
I figured you did too

But with every challenge
Comes a goal
You of all people should know
It left a giant hole
A hole that devours time
The time that you stole
