Green Lizard - Identity

Gone

Sometimes things don't turn out
Like you want them to
Try to find your way
Give yourself away

She chose not to be here
She chose life instead
Tried to find her way
Took my heart away

At night I lay awake
Pretend that you're right here
But when the new day breaks
I know you'll disappear

And it feels like I've been here so long
You don't know what you've got till it's gone

Please believe when I say
I don't hold a grudge
Try to find a way
To give myself away

Sometimes I can hear you
Whispering soft to me
Give myself away
Drive myself insane

At night I lay awake
Pretend that you're right here
But when the new day breaks
I know you'll disappear

And it feels like I've been here so long
You don't know what you've got till it's gone

Thoughts broken
I sink low
Too close by
Eyes hurt so
I lose hope
Life flows away

And it feels like I've been here so long
You don't know what you've got till it's gone
And it feels like I've been here so long
You don't know what you've got till it's gone

 

Turn Around

Jimmy saw the sun chase away the night
It was a quarter past seven
His body warm like the morning light
Had to be in school by eleven

He told himself what they had done to him
That's why Jimmy never felt real sad
If only someone could have lent a hand
Things would have never turned out so bad

Who knows why black flies just live for one day
Who knows why
Hey turn around
It's time to wake up and go back to tell the story
Hey turn around
It's time to wake up and go back to tell the story now

Always sat alone in the back of the class
Because no one would take him
Today he stood in front of the rest
His hands were shaking

Who could have known what Jimmy thought
Never had a chance to speak his words out loud
The flies were burning in his head till
Jimmy let them all out

Who knows why black flies just live for one day
Who knows why

Hey turn around
It's time to wake up and go back to tell the story
Hey turn around
It's time to wake up and go back to tell the story now

It didn't pay to make fun of him
Too late to say, "I'm sorry"
No one would ever make fun of him
You and I all the time

Come with me
Take my hand
I will tell you when you're there
Come with me
Take my hand
I will tell you when you're there
Come with me
Take my hand
I will tell you when you're there

 

Rise

Touch my hand
Does it feel strange to you
Somehow I'd like to know
If you're my friend
Why'd you stay inside your shell
Take a look outside yourself

Just tell me what you see
Does it still look like me
Can't find a way to rise again

Find the shade
Flood it with your golden eyes
Before it turns you blind
Not too late
Try to make amends inside
Try to open up your mind

My body hits the dirt
Too late to find a cure
Can't find a way to rise again

Jesus help me
I'm falling, I'm falling down
Jesus help me
I'm falling, I'm falling down

My thoughts are scattered on the ground
My hope is nowhere to be found
I try to hide behind the sun
But where's the new horizon
My eyes are burning through my hand
I try so hard to understand
Why I was left behind

Jesus help me,
I'm falling, I'm falling down
Jesus help me,
I'm falling, I'm falling down
Don't be afraid my friend
I'll take you to the end

Jesus help me,
I'm falling, I'm falling down

 

Autumn

You called up late
Said you wanted to talk
I was afraid
Cause you spoke so softly

You took my hand
Slowly started to cry
I can't understand
Why our season went by

Why do leaves fall down from the sky
Is the tree not strong enough

You turned away
Slowly opened the door
Said you could not stay
You couldn't take it no more

It started to rain
Tears kept falling from the sky
It did not stop the pain
It did not stop the pain

Why do leaves fall down from the sky
Is the tree not strong enough

Now I fall on the ground

It did not stop the pain
It did not stop the pain

Why do leaves fall down from the sky
Is the tree not strong enough
Why do leaves fall down from the sky
Is the tree not strong enough

Now I fall on the ground
Now I fall on the ground

It did not stop the pain
It did not stop the pain

Why do leaves fall down from the sky
Is the tree not strong enough

 

Your Best Friend

Dreams were made to last in storybooks
Just like the hero of the day
You wait until they walk into your world
And make the demons go away

You know I'm here, I'll take good care of you now
Forget your fear, you have no use for it now
Just dry your tears, before you drown in it now
You know I'm here, I'll take good care of you now

I'll be the one you always want me to
Forget the things that I have done to you
Cause it was not the first time or the last time
I have lied to you
I'll be the one you always want me to

You try to hide the tremble in your voice
And fight to stay awake all day
Afraid your life is nothing but a toy
You know I'm here, I'll take good care of you now
Forget your fear, you have no use for it now
You know it's near, you can't no escape from it now
Just dry your tears, it's way too late for you now

I'll be the one you always want me to
Forget the things that I have done to you
Cause it was not the first time or the last time
I have lied to you
I'll be the one you always want me to

I'll be the one you always want me to
Forget the things that I have done to you
Cause it was not the first time or the last time
I have lied to you

 

Requiem II

It's been so long since I've tried
To get up and out of my head
It's too dark out there

I try not to breathe or make a sound
Or move it all
I'm too scared
No hope at all

I'm dying, dying
I'm dying, dying

Everybody says
It's just a phase
But it's been damn long
It's been damn long

What will it take to get out again
And see all those millions of faces
Not worry about what they're thinking

I'm dying, dying
I'm dying, dying

It's ok, it's ok
Don't cry no, don't cry no more
It's ok, it's ok
Don't cry no, don't cry no more

I'm dying, dying
I'm dying, dying

 

Grey

You always say
That your life's been thrown away
That's why you turn to a man upstairs
And pray he'll save you everyday

Don't come around no more
Save your soul in the eyes of the lord
Don't come around no more
Save your soul in the eyes of the lord

Long years go by
As you still sit to wonder why
Your voice can't scream out loud
And your mind's been trapped inside

Don't come around no more
Save your soul in the eyes of the lord
Don't come around no more
Save your soul in the eyes of the lord

Burn yourself down
Bring yourself down
Burn yourself down
Bring yourself down

You know I'm drowning in myself
Drowning in myself
You know I'm drowning in myself

Don't come around no more
Save your soul in the eyes of the lord
Don't come around no more
Save your soul in the eyes of the lord
Don't come around no more
Save your soul in the eyes of the lord
Don't come around no more
Save your soul in the eyes of the lord

Burn yourself down
Bring yourself down
Burn yourself down
Bring yourself down

 

Down

It's hard when
You try to survive
And try to hold on
As we will go down
We will fall down

One day I will go into a new state of mind I guess

Until that day
I'll try to know my name

I try to blink but go numb
So it throws mud in my eye
I gasp for air but there's none
My lungs explode inside

I should know better than to let things get to me
I should know better than to let let them get to me
I should know better than to let let you get to me
I should know better than to let me get to me

It's hard when
You try to survive
And try to hold on
So you will go down
And we will go

 

Hurt

A new feeling grows inside me
Can't take away the black sky
I'm too afraid to use new colors
Wave the older man goobye

I was drowning in the ocean
I couldn't keep my head up
No one ever helped me fighting
No one ever seemed to mind

Close your eyes don't be shy
There's no need to shut the light
Just try to leave it all behind
If you're ok I'll be fine

You know there's something for me
It just needs to be found

It hurts to know I'm crawling
Why do I feel so betrayed
Tell me when the sky stops falling
Will there be another day

Close your eyes don't be shy
There's no need to shut the light
Just try to leave it all behind
If you're ok I'll be fine

You know there's something for me
It just needs to be found
Needs to be found
Needs to be found

Close your eyes don't be shy
There's no need to shut the light
Just try to leave it all behind
If you're ok I'll be fine

 

Speak the Words

I had enough words to say that I was sorry
I had enough ways to make it go away
But foolish pride has ruined the path before me
I guess the sun can only shine here once a day

I drowned myself in a wave of lost ambition
I filled your world with my hate and disbelief
I trapped my soul in an awkward disposition
And deep inside I hope that no one sees me

Can you feel the pain I hide
I laugh out loud but cry inside
No one's there to save me from my doubt
Cause I don't dare to speak the words out loud

Try to find me in my sorrow
Time won't take away the truth
Can't change the way that we are changing
I hope that we will finally learn to

Can you feel the pain I hide
I laugh out loud but cry inside
No one's there to save me from my doubt
Cause I'm too scared to speak the words out loud

I walk the dessert all alone
No place to rest my mind
The sun is burning in my soul, in my soul

Pride is our strongest thing in common
And time isn't always on our side
But tears are not the only answer
It's time you took this blindfold from me

Can you feel the pain I hide
I laugh out loud but cry inside
Will you be there to save me from my doubt
If I can learn to speak the words out loud
Out loud

 

Wrapped around your finger

You consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the Scylla and Charibdes.
Hypnotized by you if I should linger
Starring at the ring around your finger

I have only come here seeking knowledge
Things they wouldn't teach me of in college
I can see the destiny you sold
Turn into a shining band of hope

I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger

Nafostaveles is not your name
But I know what you're up to just the same
I will listen hard to your tuition
You will see it come to it's fruition

I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger

Devil and the deep blue see behind me
Vanish in the air you'll never find me
I will turn you face to alabaster
Then you'll find you're servant is your master

You'll be wrapped around my finger
You'll be wrapped around my finger
You'll be wrapped around my finger

 

No One Knew

Don't be afraid he said
When he took his hand
Slowly drove him mad when
He filled his head with sand

No one knew
Not even mother dear
She just cleaned her shelves
Her mind was struck with fear

Several years went by but
Nothing changed at all
Once I thought I heard the boy cry
Thought he took a fall but no

No one knew
What went on
Until it was too late
He shot him

No one knew
Anything about you
No one knew
Anything

And in the end
Everything seemed lost
He could not defend
Oh, his right to live

No, no, no, no
No one knew
Anything about you
No one knew
Anything about you
