I am a mountain
I stand proud and tall
I spread over the landscape
Where I can see it all
I am a river
I flow with the rhythm of the earth
I glister in the sunlight
and I heal with nature’s birth
I am a mountain
Beautiful into the bone
but even the most breathtaking mountains
are only made of stone
I am a tree
I stretch my arms into the sky
I am the final destination
for birds who come to die
I am a mountain
I stand proud and tall
but even the highest mountains
were only built to fall

Make Me Sad
04:00

How could I ever let you go?
You and I are set in stone
You make me feel so good
Like nobody ever could
We split a bottle of vodka
That we’re both to young to buy
And we swear on forever
But we were never that clever
How do we make this night end?
It feels too good to pretend
That nobody can break us
But we have too much to discuss
My smile catches your eye
And then you stand by my side
I’d given you anything i could
But you were never that good
Because
You tell me you hate me but it's all lies
to keep me on the edge, keep me paralyzed
You know i can leave you
So you force me to need you
You call me to tell me you're over me
I cry and you laugh cos it's clear to see that
You know you control me
You know that you own me
How could I let you make me sad?
Only you can make me feel this bad
I watched you crawl into my skin
Today I'd never let you in
I don't regret the times we shared
But reliving it would make me way too scared
I know you never saw your faults
and I ignored them by default
How could I let this go this far?
You and I both know what we are
Stupid kids too blind to see
that our sin is on our sleeves
I never ever want you back
No more sunny days drained in black
I hoped you'd like me if you could
But you were never that good
Because
You tell me you hate me but it's all lies
to keep me on the edge, keep me paralyzed
You know i can leave you
So you force me to need you
You call me to tell me you're over me
I cry and you laugh cos it's clear to see that
You know you control me
You know that you own me

You do know we aren’t safe here, right?
You have no one to trust when the day becomes night
You think you’ve got them on your side but it’s all just a game
They talk about when you’re not around, they think you’re such a shame
You’re too far away from home to feel real pain
You do what’s best for them and you know it’s all in vain
Cos when it all comes around, who does even care for you?
No one does and that’s the truth
You’re just a
dot in mega space
a hidden face in human race
The air you breathe is waste
someone they wish they could erase
A dot in mega space
a hidden face in human race
The air you breathe is waste
someone they wish they could erase
Do you know you should run away now?
Escape their claws while you still know how
Their minds are like the world war five
A mystery how you’re still alive
Breathe in breathe out, don’t make a sound
Press your face against the ground
You’re just a
dot in mega space
a hidden face in human race
The air you breathe is waste
someone they wish they could erase
A dot in mega space
a hidden face in human race
The air you breathe is waste
someone they wish they could erase

You took my hand
and we fell down to wonderland
To that place
where we can do what others can’t
We’re complete
don’t ever want to leave again
leave again, Don’t leave again
Blood red rose
the color’s dripping on our clothes
Drink me now
The acid burning down our throats
Two heartbeats
then we don’t have to feel again
feel again, Don’t feel again
I just wanna be caught up in this world
caught up in this world
caught up in this world
with my blue haired girl
with my blue haired girl
Caught up in this world
caught up in this world
with my blue haired girl
with my blue haired girl
Stone cold soul
reality hit like a smoke
Filtered minds
without illusions we’re so broke
Where you’ve been?
I feel like I am whole again
whole again, I got control again
Ace of hearts
a picture perfect playing card
Gloomy eyes
this game don’t have to be that hard
Why’d you leave?
I don’t ever wanna feel again
feel again, Don’t feel again
I just wanna be caught up in this world
caught up in this world
caught up in this world
with my blue haired girl
with my blue haired girl
caught up in this world
caught up in this world
with my blue haired girl
with my blue haired girl
Can we stay?
in this world i feel so warm
Please come back
the outer world just does us harm
You’re all i need
and then we can be whole again, feel whole again
Don’t lose hope again
You took my hand
and then we stayed in wonderland
In that place
where we can do what others can’t
We’re complete
we don’t ever have to leave again, or feel again
We’re complete again

The Heterosexual Agenda
02:56
|
|||
|
Using blue contacts to hide my pink colored eyes
Painting on a face that hides more than white lies
Walking down the street wondering if I look okay
I hope no one suspects that I was born gay
Sitting in a classroom where they hate who I am
25 wolves meets one little lamb
The teacher talks about us like we're from galaxies away
I guess she didn't know that I’m here to stay
People my age never look me in the eyes
Like I am a sinner in a teenage girl disguise
They wonder what a monster like me could do
But I just fall in love with women
On Mondays straights tell me to go to hell
On Tuesdays they ask me if satans doing well
On Wednesdays they tell me that this is just a phase
On Thursdays they tell me that I’m a disgrace
Fridays and Saturdays teaching kids how to hate
On Sundays they pray ”oh god please turn her straight”
The heterosexual agenda
That’s the heterosexual agenda
Lying to my parents about the things I could like
Imagine what they’ll say when my idol is a dyke
Telling them I listen to this plain white dude
But comparing him to Ally would be straight up rude
Crying in my room cos I know I’m all wrong
I’m a disappointment and I’ll never belong
Look up any article and you’ll see what they say
The world doesn’t want you if you’re young and gay
People my age never look me in the eyes
Like I am a sinner in a teenage girl disguise
They wonder what a monster like me could do
But I just fall in love with women
On Mondays straights tell me to go to hell
On Tuesdays they ask me if satans doing well
On Wednesdays they tell me that this is just a phase
On Thursdays they tell me that I’m a disgrace
Fridays and Saturdays teaching kids how to hate
On Sundays they pray ”oh god please turn her straight”
The heterosexual agenda
That’s the heterosexual agenda
The heterosexual agenda
That’s the heterosexual agenda

Bubbles

Blowing bubbles in your face
The hot water’s like a warm embrace
There’s no life outside this room
Only you and I in this pool
This shade of blue matches your eyes
I rest my hands over your thighs
Bath tub water keeps us safe
No need to hide away
Who knows what happens if we leave
When we drain the tub into the sea
Will there be a you and me?
Can’t hide from real world allergies
Who knows what happens if we leave
When we drain the tub into the sea
Will there be a you and me?
Can’t hide from real world allergies
Your face lights up when the bubbles fade
Two ghosts in a dead man masquerade
Can we stay till the water turns to ice?
You look so lovely in this light
I rinse the soap out of my hair
Holding on to this moment that we share
Don’t let the water overflow, I keep it safe locked up inside
I don’t wanna hide
Who knows what happens if we leave
When we drain the tub into the sea
Will there be a you and me?
Can’t hide from real world allergies
Cause I can swim a thousand miles
Over the ocean, to your house
If you promise that we’ll never leave
I can keep the water warm
I’ll get your bubbles from the store
If you promise that you’ll never leave
Who knows what happens if we leave
When we drain the tub into the sea
Will there be a you and me?
Can’t hide from real world allergies
Who knows what happens if we leave
We’ll meet at the shoreline by the sea
Where there’s a you there’ll be a me
Escaped my real world allergies
Who knows what happens if we leave
We’ll meet at the shoreline by the sea
Where there’s a you there’ll be a me
Escaped my real world allergies

Roses
02:55
|

|
Born as a flower but forced into a rose
Confidence falls as yellow petals grow
Reaching for the sun but is greeted by the moon
Born in april but will die before june
A yellow rose in a sunflower field
Thorns and daggers to keep up the shield
Surrounded by sadness melted to chrome
Stuck in the ground but wants to come home
Soon you will realize being strong is a weakness
Picked by the hands you once trusted, ripped into pieces
Thorns ain’t enough to keep you safe from your fate
But you will rise again
You will ignite again
In the end
In the end
In the end
Fully grown flowers standing in line
Turning their faces to see the sun shine
Roses can’t reach and get stuck in the shadow
Dreaming about a life on the other side of the meadow
Yellow rose petals will soon crumble, too
They’ll join the sunflowers, blending to blue
One day yellow roses will reach the sun
And that is the day the roses finally won
Soon you will realize being strong is a weakness
Picked by the hands you once trusted, ripped into pieces
Thorns ain’t enough to keep you safe from your fate
But you will rise again
You will ignite again
In the end
In the end
In the end
