They All Feel The Same
Saturday, you wake up slowly
The sun shines on your face
and makes you blink your eyes
You stayed up late the other day
when you were with your friends
You needed them so bad

And still I wonder why you didn't leave at that time
I hope you see that you waste away your life instead
Is that what you want? I don't understand
You try to make the best of it
You know you can't make it on your own

You get dressed, turn on the TV
and watch some talkshows
They don't make any sense
And when the toast starts to burn
and the water's overcooked
you blame it on yourself

It's hard to realize there's no turning back when you are there
Everyone reacts different but they all feel the same
And then you closed your eyes

Elevator Girl
Last night I thought about the things she said
It kept me busy all the time so turned on the light
I felt so tired but it seemed so hard to close my eyes
Now she tries to run away from me
I don't dare to ask her why she flees, I don't know what to feel
This still remaining uncertainty

Waiting until it's over
Counting every second
Six more hours and I will be with you

Confess, I let you down again
I guess that's all I do, just give me some more time for myself
I need my friends, but you already know that
Next year I'll see her almost every day
It seems like she just sees right through me, all the things I try to hide from her
Just keep it up, and bring me down

I don't dare to look into her eyes
'cause I'm scared of what I'll see inside of me
And somehow it seems there's a lot of pain behind that smile
I wish she'd tell me why

Waiting until it's over
Counting every second
Six more hours and I will be with you

Reality Strikes Back
He left the train trying to ignore the rain that had flushed his mind
Only hoping for the clouds to disappear
There was so much pain, so many reasons to escape and dissociate
Now reality strikes back

"Dear diary, this is me
I've arrived today, I'm on my way
I'm holding on, avoiding everything that's wrong
Now it's time to say good-bye"

The second day; the bed sheets still clean
He failed in getting rest because in his head all the memories were brought to life
The things he said, their reactions, the day she left, rejecting all he had
Left with nothing he didn't regret

"Day 3. I can't get much sleep
I hate this place, this fucking race
And all the shit, I thought I could escape from it
But nothing seems to change"

Wandering about considering the aimlessness
he realised he'll never forget her smile
Wash it out, he'll never sweep out all the dirt
All he wants is to say his past good-by

As Lisa Floats Away
'Take my hand' he orders you and jumps over the fence
'Taste the sand', it sounds weird because it doesn't make much sense

'Be careful walking down the road
Please show your innocence'
And still her body floats

Take the time, he's right behind you thinking about his wife
A wasted life, memories spinning through his hateful mind

'Be careful walking down the road
Please show your innocence'
And still her body floats

And maybe someone would find Lisa in the sea
Her body rotting, not able to feel the pain that lives in me

I don't understand. I can't pretend you wouldn't do such things
Is this the end of the road?
But actually I try to see he talked you in this shit
I could admit it is his fault

Sniff the tea, inject the coffee
He wants to make this world a better place
Every day addicted to the coffee break
He lives according to his own ideals
The more he solves, the more he bleeds

And he saved all his friends, but forgot himself
He tried to ignore, but now
He drowns in his words, swallows the dirt
It's hard to think clear in a life full of fear

He wants everyone to think the same
But no one does notice him at all
He likes to wear his shiny golfing shoes
And gives his mom a call

Sniff the tea, inject the coffee
Make a profit, everyone tries to stay clean
Ain't there anyone to guide you?
Because you seem so lost
I'll try not to care at all
