All My Life
03:13
|

All my life I’ve been searching for some
relative energy
the world seems to hide it
I watched every TV-show
I read every smart book
that I know
(I didn't learn a thing)
Slacking my way through life
and your heart
All my life I’ve been searching for some
relentless attribute
to make me more exciting
I watched every TV-show
I read every smart book
that I know
Slacking my way through life
and your heart
Originality, criminality
words...
I feel uninspired
also, I feel tired
All my life I’ve been searching for some inspiration
All my life I’ve been searching for a reputation

All My Time

How long does it take for my hesitation to grow bold?
My world is on fire
and I can’t for the life of me put it out
without a reason uphold
a certain standard to myself, my love, my ego and everybody else
(Guitar and stuff)
Activating my sensibilities
I didn’t do it for you
I did it for me
all my life
I’ve heard the clock mocking me
I’m beyond time yet your time is mine
I’ve heard my friends mocking me
You're behind time yet your time is mine
I wouldn’t mind
Sacrificing the time of my life
I wouldn’t mind
Stretching out all of my time
All my life I've been searching for something
but I can't find it
How long does it take for my hesitation to grow bold?
I wouldn’t mind
Sacrificing the time of my life
I wouldn’t mind
Stretching out all of my time

I’ve been looking at the same words
Four times ten days
And I don’t care about your derivatives
I’m sitting here kind of
but really not sure about
why I started to derive you as an adjective
a sweet, sweet adjective
Your adjectivity warms my serendipity
I was lucky that you found me
four times ten days ago
But things are not as bright as it used to be
I’m drowning sorrow and teeth in coffee
I’m not really complaining
just procrastinating
And this could be my final song
My headstone should say: He derived his brain away
and he did for forty days straight
Yeah, this could be my final song
My headstone should say: He derived his brain away
and he did for forty days straight
Come visit me in my deadness
To be or not be doubting the core premise of my entirety, my anxiety, my eternity
Is this just words for the sake of words?
Well, what did you expect?
Comprehensive tenderness?
This could be my final song
My headstone should say: He derived his brain away
And he did for forty days straight
Yeah, this will be my fi
Life goes on, but depression struck us hard
Strike us hard
Struck us hard
The morning sun is cruel to you
cruel to me
and cruel to you and then to me
my love
is hardship ever hard enough?
Let us melt together
Let us melt down forever

Real Problems
02:22
|
|||
I don’t have any real problems,
contingencies or structural corruption
Seminal doubt
is freaking me out
Let us buy regret
and put our self to sleep
You can buy me a car
and I’ll pick you up
You will give me money
but money aint enough
I feed the guilt
eating me up
It will keep on haunting
The hunt will never stop
I can change
but not today
I need the new something
Please keep the change
I don’t have any real problems,
contingencies or structural corruption
Temporal anxiety crawls
down my back
repressive chaos
in my veins
damping chemicals
come on
please turn on

Where are you going?
I’m attending a meeting of some sorts
to sort out my future plan
What do you want to do when you grow up?
Sort out my future plans?
It’s not like that I don’t want to do anything
I did everything but it’s always the same:
More experience?
You need more experience for us
I’m revealing my own bad surprises
(How?)
I’m revealing my own bad surprises
Nothings secret anymore
Give me a job and I’ll give more than you’re paying for
All my life I've been searching
but I really can't seem to find it
I think my world is going under
I think I’m running out of reasons to believe
Stop staring at an empty wall
Stop feeling like everything is going wrong
Oh, my thoughts they tend to wander
of to places where they shouldn’t be
Singing boy, you’re just doing fine
Singing boy, you’re just doing fine
I think Vygotsky he was right
I’m not learning anything without you by my side
Come on, man
do something productive with your time
Will we all burn out together
singing boy, melt down forever?
I'm picking up the pieces
I'm picking up the pieces of my denial
And it’s not like that I don’t want to do anything
I did everything but it’s always the same:
More experience?
You need more experience for us
I’m revealing my own bad surprises
(How?)
I’m revealing my own bad surprises
Nothings a secret anymore
Give me a job and I’ll give more than you’re paying for
I’m reluctant to ignore my calls
I don’t want to buy electric-boogaloo shorts
and that’s my right and that’s what I choose
By the way, are you selling shoes?
Because I’m walking into abyss
there’s so much information I need to miss
because I can't deal with it
I think my world is going under
I’m running out on reasons to believe

All of my mysteries have gone away
Go away
I’m just phoning it in
All my life I’ve been searching for something
that the world seems to hide from me
What can I be?
Life starts right now but I’ve come unprepared
Reluctant somehow reality makes it clear
It’s the end of an era
A new one can begin
Maybe, well? I don’t know
A new one can begin
Time is just a construct
A new one can begin
I guess
A new one can begin
Your life can begin (shut up choir)
I am reality televised
Personalizing parents bad advising
I am the monster I resent
Personalizing my own bad advises
All of my novelties have gone away
Make the way
depression is in the house
Boy, did I become a man growing up to accept who I am
and to long for all the things that I’m not at
all my life I’ve been searching for something
that the world seems to hide from me
Who can I be?
I am reality televised
Personalizing parents bad advising
I am the monster I resent
Personalizing my own bad advises
All my life I’ve been searching for something
that the world seems to hide from me

Just Not Tall Enough
03:07
|

Are we strong enough
to withstand the pressure that’s building up?
Is hardship ever hard enough?
We can’t break down
We can break down
We can’t break down
We can’t break down
Take my hand, I’m falling down
Take my hand and we’ll touch the ground
Bruise a knee and a nail or two
But we can’t break apart
We can’t break apart
We can break apart
We can’t break apart
All my life I’ve been searching for you
Let’s fall in love and then break down too
I suppose that’s what real lovers do
Not just you and I
We’re just not tall enough to touch the sky
I find it hard to be your lover when I’m sad all the time
I find it hard to be your lover when I'm sad all the time
Hardship broke down the two of us
We found ourselves in the back the bus
Heading out to the final stop
Where we got out
Where we got out
Where we got out
Where we got out

All My Mysteries
04:32
|
|||
The times my old belongings have missed me
I’ve been searching for an ordinary day
All my life, I’ve been searching for them
I’m ego-centric, double ended
I’ve been searching for an ordinary day
All my life, I’ve been searching for them
All my mysteries they flow away
Flow away
All my novelties have gone away
Go away
I’ve never dreamed of
so much trouble
troubling me
and who would care?
No one’s around here
troubling me
I’m all alone
with my mysteries
flowing away
Please hold on to me
This man isn’t ready to let go of anything or anyone
not even this part
It’s all too hard
Remember all the time?
(I can’t)
You missed me
(I never did)
All my mysteries they flow away
Flow away
All my novelties have gone away
Go away
Please don’t go
I’m not ready yet
Sorrow takes a toll on me and I cannot pay
Thanks for stopping over
Would you like to stay?
Just a little longer
But it’s time to go
But just a little longer
No, no, no
Just a little longer
No, no, no
Just a little longer
No, no, no
Just a little longer
No, no, no
Just a little longer

Sometimes we don’t end up where we want to be
and sometimes life just ends unexpectedly
Still I like to think that you’re here with me
I know it’s not true, but I want it to be
Gotta get home
Gotta get home
Gotta get
Gotta get home
Gotta get home
Gotta get
Get out of my way
Get out of my way
Get out of my way I want to be with you and life just stops
I’ve got a great deal of trouble
dealing with you being dead in a hospital bed
all by yourself, laying there all by yourself
Life is just being life
and the coffee it's still bitter
sweet life is not playing nice
Big blue sky you’ve got nothing hide from me
Why isn’t it raining outside my window, tonight?
The days just goes on and on and on etc.
It’s been a whole year
And I’m not ready to talk about it
You missed the happiest moment in my life
It tears me apart
I regret everything that I didn’t do
and there’s so much that I didn’t do
Sometimes we don’t end up where we want to be
And sometimes life just ends unexpectedly
Still I like to think that you’re here with me
But I know it’s not true, but I want it to be
I want it to be

All My Sorrow
05:43
|
|||
Good morning, everybody
How are you doing today?
I’m fine, thanks for asking
I’m doing okay
I never dreamed of trouble
I never dreamed of pain
I never thought of hardship
As a source material thing
I’m resisting my urge
to repent what I said
My stress-levels are rising
in unprecedented ways
I’m sorry for way that I caused
the pain that consumes us
Sorrow isn’t easy,
sorrow isn’t great
Sorrow is just momentary pain
eating its way through the man that I remain
lost in a spiral going down the drain
I’m forgetting appointments made in my name
Guilt washes over me
shower me with shame
all my life
all your life
I never dreamed of trouble
I never dreamed of pain
Deal with your sadness
Deal with your pain
Get a hold on yourself
We're moving yet again
