My friend Paranoia
04:17

I dream of assassins
all dressed in white
The worst kind of nightmare
from which I can't hide
I wake up with strangers
Don't know where I am
I screwed up my life
My hopes are all gone
I've waited for help
Waited to long
All that I wanted
and all that I cherished
All of my friends
seem to have vanished
I cling to a white line
always on edge
My friend paranoia
is the best friend I've had
When asked for my name
I bow down in shame
I screwed up my life
My hopes are all gone
I've waited for help
Waited to long
All that I wanted
and all that I cherished
All of my friends
seem to have vanished

Quote if you wish
My one confession
The one obsession
I'll admit to have
This strange disease
Will bring me to my knees
I came to depend on you
I just don't know how or when
No more distraction
And no more lies
I can't go on like this
I'd rather say goodbye
Cause no darkness could hide my shame
I need some time to come to terms
At least with myself
Rumors abound and words misunderstood
I can't explain and I wouldn't even if I could
My self esteem has sunk to an all time low
I'm affected badly more than you could ever know
Consideration I don't think I need
I just want a helping hand to get me back onto my feet
I never felt as low as this
I can't go on cause all I cared for is gone

Heaven in motion
02:47
|

I have to confess
There is no doubt
When I'm with you
There's no one else I'd rather be with
And though there are times
When all that I need
Is to be on my own
But the moment I call I want you around
This strange obsession
This uncontrollable love
Like the heavens in motion
We're like puppets controlled from above
I watch your every move
Cling to your every word
Love all the things you do
All that I need is just being with you
I want you

King for a day
04:04
|

There’s a man walking down the street
With a guitar in his hand
Leaving everything behind
As he travels across the land
Although he’s got no home and he’s got no wife
In his own way he makes the most of life
And when he sings that song in the subway
I know he will be king for a day
There’s a man who has seen the world
And has been to so many places
Just a few coins in his hat
But a smile on so many faces
Although there are cities where he’s never been
They sing his tune at the canteen
And if you dance to his song at the ballet
I know he will be king for a day
The song went from station to station
People heard it across the nation
They began to sing along
Till everyone knew the song
Although he doesn’t has dime to spend
His song is known across the land
And if you sing it loud in the alley
I know he will be king for a day
So if you hear it, sing out out loud
Whistle along and make that man proud
And when you sing that tune in the subway
I know he will be king for a day

Shelter me
03:16
|
|||
|
I watch the rain fall
Slowly
It tingles down my window stain
Voices echo in the backroom
Intruding on this wall to wall silence
Shelter me
Won't you shelter me please
At times like these
I need more
Then just your company

There were traces of mascara around her eye
This at times she would use as an alibi
And I can't think of anyone who knows her name
But I don't want to play the waiting game
Thoughts of romance filled my head
As I listened to all the lies she said
"Could you ever fill the void in my heart"
Were her very words right from the start
She said
"Love is for dreamers
I'll take you away
To the land of believers
And some other day
When we are together
Who else can you choose
In the waiting game
You can only loose"
There were traces of blood around her lips
As she touches me gently with her fingertips
She knows as the best how to fake a smile
And I am in heaven
At least for a while
She said
"Love is for players
And you think that you're one
But this game is mine
You never could have one
When we are together
Who else can you choose
In the waiting game
You can only loose"

And the fear was in his eyes
As he realized he was lonely
And the tears came down like rain
As he asked himself again
Am I the one and only
And the rain was pouring down
Look for shelter underground
Look for compassion
Then find out that your disease
Like acid rain killing the trees
Is like some fashion
It is ….
There are too many questions
There is too little time
To find out the answers
Why words no longer rhyme
Now he’s wondering why
Why is it always me
They’ll leave me here to die
In solitary
And there is no cure found in the land
For him this virus means the end
And there are too many things he still wants to do
Neglected and torn
He left them for you
There are too many promises
He knows they all lie
Cause there’s only one truth
And that is he’ll die
And if love is the reason
He can’t understand
Why he has to go so soon to Echoland
There he hopes to find his rest
To lower his guard and stop his quest
Until that time he regrets his lust
And then it’s ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
