Burning Garden

Burning out this time on us
Trying to see the flames from here
No water in our buckets
No windows to be seen
Surrounded by this fire
I wish that we could sleep
Tonight
The wind is hurting don't you feel the aching
This time I can't seem to hold on to the fear
There's fire in our garden
And the flames are getting near
It's ruining our desire
I can't find the word complete
In me
Time will tell if we survive this in the end
Time will tell if a flower grows from the ashes
Of this
Of this
Burning garden
If it doesn't start raining then the crying is not worth it
The tears won't prevent this house from burning
I feel the fire coming
And it's burning our skin
I don't see it in your eyes still
Can't you feel the same
As me
Time will tell if we survive this in the end
Time will tell if a flower grows from the ashes
Of this
Of this
Burning garden
Of this
Of this
Burning garden
Time will tell if we'll see our faces again
Time will tell if a flower grows from the ashes
Of this
Of this
Burning garden

The Days Don't Come Back
03:06

If the sun does shine
That means that I'm not all right
That means that you
Took your flight
Wake me up
From this nightmare I slept enough
Not tired at all right now
I want it to stop
So I pretend
It's raining
That you are calling me back
Needing a ride
I'd say okay
And I'd do some explaining
Then you close your eyes
And kiss me back
But that's not how
May ended up
I take it back
All the fights
That I've begun
And what now
This time
Now that the days don't come back
And I called the rain
But there was nothing I could have said
Wouldn't hear me at all last night
Cause it was drunk
If I took the step
That might have not been the end
Don't think about that at all
Cause I wanted to stop
So I pretend
It's raining
That you are calling me back
Needing a ride
And I'd say ok now
Then I'd do some explaining
So you close your eyes
And kiss me back
But that's not how
May ended up
I take it back
All the fights
That I've begun
And what now
This time
Now that the days don't come back
Now that the days don't come back
Now that the days don't come back

Out of the Mist
03:45
|
|||
|
Just got out of the other side
Of the wall it’s been long
It’s not the first time and it won’t be the last
Stuck between lost and found
Only me
Can take me out of this mist
Don’t you dare
Point a finger on me
Can't you see that I got me here
Crossed the line of relevance
Zig zagged back and fell flat
Bit my tongue through fears and lies
But now my jaw unwinds
Because of me
I was inside that mist
Don't you dare
Say you warned me
Can't you see you are not even near
Craving to get inside
This mist is driving me mad
I want to melt my time with fire
Regret it when I get out
Been there on the darkest hours
So it doesn’t feel right
To stand here and say
“I’m out of the mist” again

Strawberry Winds

Strawberry winds come
Straight to my face
I wish it would rain
To make it go away
I’ll count to ten
I thought we were ok
But now you say we’re dead
How can you tell?
Why did we kiss yesterday?
I’m lost as hell
You step away and say it was a mistake
You make it all worse by saying it won’t work
Why did you cave in?
Why did you say my name?
Strawberry winds keep
Coming to my face
You still haven’t left
You are explaining how you felt
But how can you explain nothing?
Nothing
You step away and say it was a mistake
You make it all worse by saying it won’t work
Why did you cave in?
The day that our lips met?
It’s been some years now
But I still find it hard
To Forget
If I smell your perfume
A bit of my heart brakes
I'm just trying to forgive
When you stepped away and said it was a mistake
When you made it all worse by saying it won’t work
Why did you cave in?
Why did we kiss again?

Papercut
02:44
|

|
I don't break like everybody else
But baby please we can't be friends now
It's like water balloons in the living room
But they break and we are all wet now
Put your shoes and take a step back
We keep running around running around
With our heads stuck
Call my name but don't say it out loud
Let's keep in touch and make us laugh
Forget that
I'm unsure what to do with this papercut
I'll call you when it's done
I'll call you when I become
Woke up in the middle of the night
Your face looked great complete meltdown
I pretend that I'm fine then you look around
I can't wait to be great love
And I don't think you are blocking the sun
But I can't wait to see your face with regret love
When you call me back and treat me all right
I'd say fuck you twice and turn around
On to stage now
Still unsure what to do with this papercut
I'll call you when it's done
I'll call you when I become
Still unsure what to do with this papercut
I'll call you when it's done
I'll call you when I become
