Do you wanna go somewhere?
Somewhere far away
Where sky is clearer dear oh,
Sand by the shore getting washed away,
Take a deep breath,
Breath it all in and feel the air
Feel the air on my skin,
Feel like a human again
I wonder how
I wonder how I feel right now
I wonder where the time’s gone
Has it really been so long?
Won’t you take,
Me away through the skies, through the clouds, no more frowns oh
Do you wanna go somewhere?
Somewhere far away
Where sky is clearer dear oh,
Sand by the shore getting washed away,
Take a deep breath,
Breath it all in and feel the air
Feel the air on my skin,
Feel like a human again
Crystal moon,
Old heirloom of which I wondered what even is the value?
Why do we always hold on to
Old things, dead things, things beyond repair?
An old pair of tattered pants, scraps of wood from a repaired fence,
Can’t be bothered,
Can’t be asked,
Can’t be tasked with confronting separation,
Tying myself to the world with these things,
It’s all unecessary, it’s all superfluous and yet I feel the need to verify that I exist, to my conscious appeal against desperate fits
Breath deep,
Deep sleep,
Let it fade,
Let it pass x4

Ghost Town

Ghost town,
It’s ghost town
Ghost town,
There’s no one
Around,
Abandoned, empty, old and lost,
Some things out there can’t be bought
A hazy dusk spreads over me,
There’s so much that I can’t see
Walking through town for a mile or two
Shout till I’m turning blue, still no one’s turning to me,
No one’s turning to
Me~
As far as I can
See~
No one’s turning
Me~
It’s a,
Ghost Town
There’s no one
Around
It’s a,
Ghost Town
There’s no one
Around

Goodbye Song

Thoughtful,
Reflections,
Of times that,
Have passed by,
I knew why,
You left me,
All the things,
I let be,
I never,
Put much thought
I never,
Did my part
All the things,
You forgave,
But this time,
I can’t save
[Chorus x2]
Parting ways,
Won’t sing to me a goodbye song,
What you say,
Won’t you wish me well
Sighing,
Belying,
A subtle,
Side of me,
A side,
You can’t see,
A side,
A side B,
It isn’t,
Not enough,
Don’t where
I should start,
Listing all,
Of my faults,
Can’t move on,
Cause I’m caught
[Chorus x2]
Trying,
Not to show,
But I know you can see through me,
Sailing,
On a boat,
Trying to run from memories,
Tinted glass,
Can’t see out
Why can’t they just let me be happy?
I know I haven’t earned it.
[Chorus x4]

Interpersonal

Walk into
Break in two
Don’t want do it
But pushing through it
Pushing hard
Pushing harder
Getting fast
Getting smarter
Conversating like it’s a game that I’m playing and praying that all things work out
How can I stay without people finding out that,
My mental state is a mess, less and I less I know what doing,
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 counting down just to keep my cool and,
[I don’t know x6
Stop asking questions]x2
On the floor
Dance a while
Give a bow
Give a smile
Take your time
Get to know ‘em
It’s all about connections, baby
Interpersonal it ain’t personal I know I just need to put on a front to be someone you want to see,
Asking the question is it me if I’m always the facade,
At what point does the image equal the god.
[I don’t know x6
Stop asking questions]x2
Screeching like a bird,
Reaching out but one’s heard me cus I didn’t call for help so what did I expect
I can’t speak, can’t open my mouth to breath
Embrace individuality, personality, “plastic bag’s free!” days and days afraid afraid
Business cards and busy cars pass me by I stand, ajar, I’ve lost touch I’ve lost touch - no human contact connection direction, at this intersection
Horns are honking endless talking people walking gawking flocking in my paranoid mind we’re losing time, losing time, losing
Time is lost at what cost what am I trying to convey, to say, to clear my head fearing having anything dear to me, dear I barely knew you, knew you, who you, who you, who you are, who are you, how far am I, how far am I, how far am I?
On the floor
Dance a while
Give a bow
Give a smile
On the floor
Dance a while
Give them what
What they want

Little toys

Once upon a time there was a young boy
Dreams and aspirations things he thought of
How he sought them through and through
Pondering over where he’d go
Thinking of something to act on
Thinking of a dream to make reality
CHORUS: What could it be, what could it be, what could it be, what could it be
Once there was a tall tall kingdom
People sang its praises people sing them
How they were so overjoyed
Until they found they were toys
CHORUS
Little playthings in a wide world
Hush my darling don’t speak up
They can’t hear you no use yelling
So save your breath
Those words are telling
CHORUS
Once upon a time there was a young boy
Dreams and aspirations things he thought of
How he sought them through and through
What oh what did he do?
