My Pride

 

Would i be human if i could bring myself to cry?

And when it happens, will you dry the teardrops from my eyes?

Oh my love, will you let me lie in your arms?

Its a cold night. Such a cold night.

 

Would it break your heart in two if i would always pick a fight,

just to prove that i'm the one who gets to take you home tonight?

Would it break your heart in two if i give in to my pride?

 

Would you lend me fire so i can light this cigarette?

And i sit in silence, afraid of hearing your regrets. (Of hearing them.)

Oh my love, can i hold you close in my arms?

Can i ask you now if you've made a choice?

 

Would it break your heart in two if i would always pick a fight,

just to prove that i'm the one who gets to take you home tonight?

Would it break your heart in two if i give in to my pride?

 

 

Racing

 

Your will's set as stone

to be racing through life alone.

You'll meet the great unknown,

in the end you'll stand on your own.

 

Don't call me.

Don't stall me.

Don't love me.

'Cause i'm out of time.

 

A will is a way,

and you chose to be isolated.

There's more loss than gain.

And you'll wake up to see it one day.

 

Don't call me.

Don't stall me.

Don't love me.

'Cause i'm out of time.

 

The days pass on by,

but it's hard through these lonely nights.

You'll search and you'll find,

but you'll never be in arms like mine.

 

Don't call me.

Don't stall me.

Don't love me.

'Cause i'm out of time.

 

 

See As You Hear

 

I hold all your art inside me,

and treasure this part of your body.

Your mind is obliged to follow

a carcass that's dry and hollow.

 

Why can't you see me the way you hear me?

 

Imagine this photographic:

you let your body stop the traffic.

It hangs like a cloud above you,

and swallows the ones who love you.

 

Why can't you see me the way you hear me?

 

Misunderstandings

 

I don't know how i should interpret all that you just said.

Like a page in a book everybody's allready read.

It's like a cry from somebody who's been hanging on a thread,

and you're falling.

 

You've got obstacles you need to push far out of your way.

You've got places to go and you've got prices to pay.

You've been trying to get a hold of me, but help is far away

and you're calling.

 

But the damage has allready been done now,

and i don't know how to move on.

 

I hold traces of your body on my fingers and my jeans,

and my mouth is filled with tastes of love and intimacy.

But my heart is semi-broken, and it's aching painfully.

oh, it's decieving.

 

You've been misunderstanding, hearing what you want to hear,

taking meanings out of context, saying this is what you've feared.

Should i hang up and deny myself the only life i care

about concieving?

 

But the damage has allready been done now,

and i don't know how to move on.

 

To Grow

 

 

Oh, brothers that i've had throughout these painful years;

hipocracy of holding back our itching tears.

Nothing's as strong.

No one is wrong.

 

Oh, sisters how you've helped me cure my open wounds,

but always turn your backs away a bit too soon.

Always too much.

Look but don't touch.

 

And, oh, how did i get myself into this here situation?

I can't fight my way out of this.

 

All rebel and no cause is how you met my eye.

You chose another path that walks right into mine.

You've seen my fear.

Crude and sincere.

 

Your heart will melt in fire if it's made of led.

So take a step behind and be a thought ahead.

Shells grow so hard.

Always on guard.

 

And, oh, how did i get myself into this here situation?

I can't find my way out of this.

 

Through the words

 

To the silence of the streets

i break my heart with every beat.

And to the grass in wich i sleep

i lose my secrets buried deep.

 

And through the words i call your name.

 

And to the oceans water black

i lose the bravery that i lack.

And to the deserts warming sand

i lose the hope on wich i stand.

 

And through the words i call your name.

While You Waited

 

You said some things you never meant.

The world’s betrayed your innocence again.

The world’s been giving it’s consent,

so you never let them see you cry.

 

Don’t cry.

 

And though you may have been jaded,

your shell cracked up and complicated it.

They all changed while you waited.

Now it breaks your heart to hear them cry.

 

Don’t cry.

 

 

The Hermit

 

Separate the paths to recognize the lies from the truths.

‘Cause love is never bad, but bad can sometimes come from you.

 

This is what i ought to do.

 

Time can always tell, and time can always see right through.

So take a little time to think about the life you choose.

 

And what you ought to do.

 

‘Cause every single day, in every single place,

where everyone around will tell you what to say.

‘Cause everybody craves a why, a where, a who,

so they can take control and tell you

 

what you ought to do.
