Change

And I will never see the truth,
This is not a matter of my youth.
I do not need anybody else,
Bonds would put my mind into cells.

And I will never know I was wrong,
Never listen to those truly strong.
I do not fear anything that's not me,
Ignorance is the ultimate key.

But I wouldn't want to live like this forever.
But change myself? never, never!
The very thought sends shivers down my spine.
I'm sure everything, everything will be fine.

I am the one who cries out at night,
For somebody to change my very core.
Not sure why I live in endless fright,
Doomed to love only myself for evermore.

I am the one who has no real friends,
Shallow people flocking to my banner.
Always trying to make easy amends,
Cherishing my own overbearing manner.

Life - always fragile.
I will never change.
Love - always fleeting.
I will never change.

Life - always fragile.
I will never change.
Love - always fleeting.
I will never change.

But I wouldn't want to live like this forever.
Maybe I really was too clever.
But I wouldn't want to end like that.
I would die lonely and incredibly sad.

I will never drag myself out of this,
The shadows of my past bogging me down.
Feeling lost in turmoil and crisis,
My face forever set in an endless frown.

I have been hurt beyond mental repair,
Thence destined to suffer eternal damnation.
No one can be there for me to care,
But without I will never find salvation.

Lust - always empty.
But I will never change.
Death - always tempting.
But I will never change.

Lust - always empty.
But I will never change.
Death - always tempting.
But I will never change.

Everything is about control.
I must never slip, nor ever fall.
Anything is possible for me.
I must never doubt, and finally be free.

And finally be free.

I Love 64

I thought this is all there is,
But now I know you are so much more.
I want to upgrade from my simple eight bits,
But will you still love me when I'm sixty-four?

I thought this is all there is,
But now I know you are so much more.
I want to upgrade from my simple eight bits,
But will you still love me when I'm sixty-four?

When I saw you for the very first time,
I thought you are just so advanced.
The colors in your eyes reflected the rainbow,
I couldn't pull my gaze away from you.

I was sure you would never look my way,
But somehow you discovered me.
My face was aflush with a primary red,
But my eyes they were the darkest blue.

I thought this is all there is,
But now I know you are so much more.
I want to upgrade from my simple eight bits,
But will you still love me when I'm sixty-four?

I thought this is all there is,
But now I know you are so much more.
I want to upgrade from my simple eight bits,
But will you still love me when I'm sixty-four?

I found out you're made of 64 bits,
Something I couldn't even comprehend.
When I looked at myself I felt so small,
And I was afraid I would never understand.

Now that I know who you are,
I know I want it all.
I want to live a new life,
I want to enter the blessed land.

I thought this is all there is,
But now I know you are so much more.
I want to upgrade from my simple eight bits,
But will you still love me when I'm sixty-four?

I thought this is all there is,
But now I know you are so much more.
I want to upgrade from my simple eight bits,
But will you still love me when I'm sixty-four?

I thought this is all there is,
But now I know you are so much more.
I want to upgrade from my simple eight bits,
But will you still love me when I'm sixty-four?

One Day

One day you were just there,
No one knew why or from where.
You came and never left,
But still I felt bereft.

This day, now long ago,
I thought to reap you must sow.
Days came and went away,
And life felt old and gray.

You were my glimmer of hope,
The one straw for me to grasp.
I thought you would help me cope,
No matter it could not last.

One day was all it took,
To change my life forever.
One day and my world shook,
And it was now or never.

One day was all I got,
And there would be nothing more.
One day I chose my lot,
This is it, forevermore.

I never made the choice,
As though I had lost my voice.
I got carried away,
Not aware I had to pay.

I thought I was sincere,
So why am I still here?
I know I could just leave,
But can I still believe?

I needed more than a spark,
To make me rise from the floor.
You were the fire in the dark,
That burned me down right to my core.

One day was all it took,
To change my life forever.
One day and my world shook,
And it was now or never.

One day was all I got,
And there would be nothing more.
One day I chose my lot,
This is it, forevermore.

One day was all it took,
To change my life forever.
One day and my world shook,
And it was now or never.

One day was all I got,
And there would be nothing more.
One day I chose my lot,
This is it, forevermore.

Only one day.

Redefined

I look back, so much time.
What once was, now it's gone.
Now it's fine, now it's fine.

I had to leave myself,
To find out who I am,
And to build a new self.

I look back, so far back.
And I know it's all gone.
I'm so glad, I'm so glad.

I have found a new life.
There's a line in my past,
Cuts it off like a knife.

I will kill the machine,
Because it has to be done.
Get over what I have been,
And then never need to run.

I will realize my dream,
With all the blood in my veins,
To fight the machine,
Until none of it remains.

And everything somehow led me to a fresh new start.
So little and so much to cure my pain and to redefine who I am.
Now everything is leading me right into the future,
All the worries of my past gone and never coming back again.

I look back, so much time.
What once was, now it's gone.
Now it's fine, now it's fine.

I had to find myself,
To become who I am,
To define my new self.

And everything somehow led me to a fresh new start.
So little and so much to cure my pain and to redefine who I am.
Now everything is leading me right into the future,
All the worries of my past gone and never coming back again.

I look back, so far back.
And I know now it's good.
I'm so glad, I'm so glad.

I have found my new life,
There's a line in my past,
Cuts it off, like a knife.

What Used To Be

Your dark eyes are staring wide,
But they are unable to see.
There used to be light inside,
Now all lost in reverie.

There used to be something else,
But you already forgot.
You used to buy all that sells,
And go through with your own plot.

Images are flashing by,
And your eyes, they stare right through.
No matter how hard you'd try,
Look on is all you could do.

What used to be. [x14]

What used to be.

You feel the need to lie down,
To take a break from the break.
You feel as though you would drown,
At the bottom of a lake.

You are dreaming of what used to be,
And think you have taken the wrong turn.
You have to get over your fallacy,
And light the fire that made you burn.

You are dreaming of what used to be,
And think you have taken the wrong turn.
You have to get over your fallacy,
And light the fire that made you burn.

You are dreaming of what used to be,
And think you have taken the wrong turn.
You have to get over your fallacy,
And light the fire that made you burn.

You are still holding on to the past,
But you have to look up at the sky.
You know that life is moving too fast,
To have regrets before you die.

You are dreaming of what used to be,
But you have to start with a clean slate.
You will snap out of your reverie,
And you will know it is not too late.

You snap out of your reverie,
Because you know it is not too late.
