Broken Tune

you left
halfway down the hall
singing your favorite song
you never looked back

if it is
you cant trust me
darling wont you be with me
just to find out

love is hard love is cold
love is like a broken tune
we all sing it every night
for the young and the old
we will die all alone

in my dreams
i feel your touch
my body aches with your lust
but the looks have changed

still we try
failing for our own vice
your eyes are now dried
dont say goodbye

love is hard love is cold
love is like a broken tune
we all sing it every night
for the young and the old
we will die all alone

I Confess

Been loving and living since the day
you gave birth to this imbecile
fucked up my life the life that you had graced
why do you stare straight inside my heart
if you have to say yes or no
speak to me straight on my face
but you can't
its been five months since you're dead

i cant take it anymore
the demons inside play the wicked games
that you never showed you never trained
the tears that i shed were lost in abyss
the blood that got wasted still stinks
i breath them every night in my dreams

you left when i needed the help
i gathered my strength
i lost the game again
my eyes are drenched again
is that breaking your heart again
cause mine is broke already
and i don't know how to hide the shame

people left thank god i didn't
but i will leave soon
the curtains about to fall in the end
i will die and see the world spin
i will cry when i see the sky break

i blame you i blame myself
i have been burning inside
i lied and there is no way to repent
cause you are gone so will i

there is a song in the loop
i am four years old again
things went wrong
i am sorry i couldn't help
i am sorry i showed anger
i should have understood
so should you but you're gone
floating silently down the brook

F***** Up

this song is all about
how many stars
the censorship gave
this love is all about
how many stars
we can count till the end
this pain is all about
how many times
the stars played the game

i don't know what to do
you keep coming back
your faces all made up
with varied range of make up
we had a wild breakup
but we should know where to end

the stars they keep shining
the moods they keep changing
there's a desolation in your eyes
that tells me i should be leaving

the stars they shine they fall they break
they make you look hungry
they make me feel frail
within the clouds i know you shine
all alone and fucked up

this song is all about
how many stars
the censorship gave
this love is all about
how many stars
we can count till the end
this pain is all about
how many times
the stars played the game

Casanova

Casanova died two years ago
His blood is still trickling down the floor
I can't feel the fire within you
Neither can I feel the winter blues

You lie dead awake in a picture frame
Your body lay scattered in the butchers lane
You rose up but I brought you down again
Cause you never returned the kiss I gave you

In the coldness of the night
I see the ghosts pass me by
They say it will rain very soon
Can't wait to be drained out of you

Your desperate cries rings within
Your hurt expression makes me feel
I think I should put on the painted mask
And cry Casanova please return

Coward

The pills they stopped reacting
The thirst that never quenched
The faces they started changing
But darkness remained the same

How on earth I lived so long
Should have departed
Before things went wrong

Should have flown high
Might have reached you in time
But since I am stuck here
My wings fail to fly

Meaningless it seems
To live to die or to claim
What has never been mine

Within the clouds I would have been
I know you are there all alone
But is it me that you seek
Or is it tears that you want to shed alone

Coward the one who flies away they say
Doesn't matter what they say I will leave today
To meet the coward and be one myself

Special Friend

I fell in love with a stranger once again
I was smitten by her but i knew she was vain
Now I don't love her we call ourself friends
Sitting together lonely by the bay

I met another girl last night
Her eyes were wild and sweet was her touch
We had some drink together and ended up at her place
But I ran to get back to that very special friend

I feel so disillusioned
With the wild eyes and the wicked smiles
Hold me dear they might disappear
And tell me that you are there
Always and forever be
That special friend waiting by the bay

Then came another and another
Each one made my heart grow weaker
And no matter how I try to run and take a hike
They come back with vengeance on their mind

I got disillusioned
By the wild eyes and the wicked smiles
Hold me dear I want them to disappear
And tell me that you are there
Always and forever be
That special friend alone by the bay

Different Emotions

angry and mad i sit alone

on a desert land near a shore

trickles down the rain

or is it my blood that flows

wind blows me away

or is it you trying to take my place

 

it was joy when you loved me

it was pain when you left me

it was death when you came back to me

i was lost when you left again

 

i try to bite and crawl

to reach my unknown destination

i fight and laugh with bitter tears

and hide them for your sake

loved someone and everyone

but i seem to scare them away

 

it was joy when you loved me

it was pain when you left me

it was death when you came back to me

i was lost when you left again

 

why don’t i feel the tears of rejection

instead angry i am with my own reflection

they came and went by themselves

but my mind still plays its spiteful games

none can hold me close for i don’t let them

none can see me cry for i don’t shed them anymore
