You were made up by my imagination
Out of pretty seashells I've found washed up on a
Sandy shore that thought me patience.
Long years of anticipation
Caused my eyes to see you as this great sensation,
Riddance of my isolation.
Guess I knew from the start,
We both' ve been playing a part,
But who's been playing along to,
Another's hideous plan
With no clear end goal.
Can we go one more time
From the top?
Let's admit
We were wrong
All along.
I shouldn't have put you in a box,
Perhaps you were too curious.
Guess we both knew from the start,
We've been taking a part
In a beautiful art of
Gently breaking a heart.
Feels like getting the calls
From two great opposite poles,
Pushing and pulling the force
Between these 4 soft walls.
(4 soft walls)

You Want, I Don't

I won't be your friend,
I won't be your foe,
Please, tell me what are you doing this for.
I won't be your foe,
I won't be your friend,
And I'll go without you
If not to the end,
Than as far as I can get .
Well, you think that it's false,
You really want to get close,
But I already said that the
Door has been closed.
You wanna stay beside,
But I won't be so kind
And yes
I remember that wonderful night.
You want,
You want and I don't,
I don't..
I know you had some suspicion,
But that wasn't my mission,
And still I hoped that I would
Get your permission.
And would you refuse me,
I'm not even sure,
'Couse you haven't let someone so
Closely before,
Now I'm gonna keep you away.
How did you figure you can run away
From your own fate without facing decay?
Deep in your greeth lays the answer you seek,
Come on free.
You want,
You want and I don't,
I don't,
Don't want what you do,
So ,please,
Admit that its true,
Let me pass through.
I never knew that you wanted me back,
After you buried me in the ground
And I don't wanna play with you now
Fool around.
I never wanted to carry this rock
All the way up the hill,
But still..
Still I hoped..
I hoped that I..
That I loved you for real

Inhale
Her sense
Intense
Insane
Again
I fall into your arms,
Your charm has me unarmed,
Old memory of harm
Turns into gifts I guard,
No, we won't go again

I invite you,
Please, come in,
But do not be frightened, Stranger
That what you will see
Might make you sick.
Beware, there're
Curtains waved of spider's silk,
Rivers and lakes of spoiled milk.
Upon your face I read disgust,
So let me ask:
What use is order if it doesn't last
On
It's own?
Every mess that I see
Is a fight that hasn't happened
'Couse I look at it cowardly
And see my peaceful habitat.
And, to be Frank, it makes me sick
To see myself dissolve in it
This knowledge burns ne to the core..
The pain is bearable tho..
The pain of letting old me go.
Guess, from what's left I'll be reborn.
I'm ascending
Promptly
From underneath the
Dungeon floor
Past the clutter
Straight into the world!
There's
Endless
Value
To this treasure
That I've found
Gotta share it with the people
All around
But, when in condescended from my
Ever bleak and dismal castle
They cried:
"Get out of here, you freak!"
And I thought:
"What a puzzle."
Although I act,
I'm sure,
With purest, heavensent intent,
Old, rotten shell emits the smell of hell
(Oooooh)

Fulminant blink
She disappears
The wind is taking me
View from the sides
And from above
They beam me up and away
Down the familiar lane
Another world
No recollection
Time slowing down in pace of
Fabling clock
What have I seen
I can't remember
Views all erased cannot recall
My body running through the past
Well
Quickly up, through the past
You're flying
Why so cold, hands have lost
Control
In that world, you’re completely
Blind
In this gloom we can see
Through walls
If it attracts me?
Why does it hurt so bad?
Does it allure me?
Again i'm here, have I gone mad?
Two different worlds, one broken mind
They're not connected with the wires
I wish, one day, it could be gone
Completely stucked under my skin,
This round's a draw
But it is inviting
In here it's easy
Oh, it's so tempting

New Chapter
03:43

Dark circles, tired eyes.
Nerves - frail ice.
Unwanted move and everything will crash.
And no one's gonna come and sort you out for pity's sake.
If that's what's keeping you awake
Then
It will only take a minute 'cause
Now you can see the end
Or something like that
Now you can reach the top
Anything you want
In this ruthless world
Your hand should be cold
It's the final line
Before new chapter of your life
It was a time, your people were in fear
Than rain of tears came down and washed it clear
And after all you finally are free
And nothing'll ever come between
The future and today.
It doesn't matter what they say.
Nooo
It doesn't matter 'cause
Now you can see the end
Or something like that
Now you can reach the top
Whatever the hell you want
In this ruthless world
Your hand should be cold
It's the final line
Before new chapter of your lifeee

Not now,
But maybe later
You'll get
What you're looking for
And then
Maybe someone
You were dreaming of
Will come
And bring new colors
To this black and white movie
So you can truly see
Not now,
But maybe later.
Not here,
But maybe somewhere,
Far away,
Where you could've born
Something
So native
Is waiting for you to come
And bring your bright side
To light up
Someone's long gone out
Soul
Not here,
But maybe somewhere.
If not you,
But maybe someone
