Forever Outsider

never really fitted in
never played with the cool kids
low level self-esteem
I feel ugly and wasted
why am I such a let-down?
(down and out with my few friends)
disappointing my few friends
a never ending poise
forever outsider
forever feeling out of place
stuck in a cage fight with my exaggerated ego
forever twenty seconds late
I win their pity but I lose my faith
forever intimidated by the crooked looks from my next-door neighbours
and so I bottle up the pain
frail polish scraped off from my nails
another poorly acted scene
that‘s just another occasion wasted
to fit my life into your screen
forever outsider
forever feeling out of place
stuck in a cage fight with my exaggerated ego
forever twenty seconds late
I win their pity but I lose my faith
lay down your baseball bats, I‘m nice
(hey, that’s right)
outsiders unite
we are the bad dreams of their sleepless nights
bullies fall by the wayside
when we come out
we’re just hanging around
we are the loneliest gang in town
forever outsider
forever feeling out of place
stuck in a cage fight with my pretentious ego
forever twenty seconds late
I win their pity but I lose my faith
lay down your baseball bats, I‘m nice
outsiders unite
we’re just hangin’ about
we are the coolest gang in town

let’s take a ride
let’s take a ride
let’s bury our past, honey
come on, let’s take a ride
let’s take a ride
let’s take a ride
I‘m barely finding time to think
stuck in a city I can‘t breath in
barely finding time to think
I need fresh air, I need a drink
(need something to believe in)
oh who’d have thought it takes seven months
to relearn how to think
the adults lay down flowers
the kids wither out of place
now slowly, side by side
we follow your blurred footprints
to a glade inside the vines
lean back and sigh
I‘m crying for the first time
in my sheltered fucking life
I can’t hold in but still can’t move
I never really feel accomplished
no place like home if not with you
every little step is like pulling teeth
but they say I’m acting fine
growing restless on these workarounds
I need a little sunlight
warm and blinding
now slowly, side by side
we follow your blurred footprints
to a glade inside the vines
lean back and sigh
I’m crying for the first time in my life
let’s take a ride
let’s take a ride
let’s bury our past, honey
come on, let’s take a ride
celebrate death and embrace the madness
let’s take a ride
let’s take a ride
live fast, die young
I wanna feel alive
let’s take a ride to escape our sadness
let’s take a ride and escape inside the vines
now slowly, side by side
we follow your blurred footprints
to a glade inside the vines
lean back it’s alright
smiling for the first time
only leaving to arrive

Downward Spiral

my level of consumption
I am losing all control
I’m choking on my words
trash talk off the tip of my tongue
yeah it’s alright
(it’s alright)
I feel like you're pulling me into your love crimes
(ruin my high for the night)
I’m tired of feeling lonely
tied down in meaningless affairs
come on, tell me that you want me
I couldn’t take it anyway
call me childish, call this anything
but I don’t care
please stop fucking with my head
yeah it’s alright
(it’s alright)
as long as you hear me pleading for more time
(calling out through the night)
feeling so fine?
I’m wearing out my faint heart on the frontline
caught in a downward spiral
choose to ignore all red flags
cheap drinks to drown the next blow
fake smiles just to comfort
blunt hits to my introverted soul
call me a freak, call me anything
yeah I don’t care
you know it’s all inside my head
yeah it’s alright
(it’s alright)
as long as you hear me pleading for more time
(ruin my high one more time)
feeling so fine?
I’m wearing out my faint heart on the frontline
my life’s a downward spiral
yeah I’ve been pushin’ this too far
tried to be everything I’m not
forever feeling out of touch
don’t think I’ll ever get enough
yeah it’s alright
(it’s alright)
I feel like you’re pulling me into your love crimes
(calling out through the night)
I’m 25 still too afraid
of making out on a first date
does anybody care about me at all?
yeah it’s alright
(it’s alright)
as long as you hear me pleading for more time
(ruin my high for the night)
feeling so fine?
I’m wearing out my faint heart on the frontline
my life’s a downward spiral

Dog Years

what if I‘m the mistake
and these lines that I’m barking
won’t bring you back here
when even the way from my couch to the kitchen’s too much
and hours pass in dog years
I‘m hanging on
to these sweet late summer songs
(back me up and revive)
my former pride again
put that record on and count to seven
(1, 2, 3)
yeah once we both are high on romance
it takes my fear away
your silly jokes still have us laughing
can we call this bella notte?
what if I‘m just too used
to my bad constitution, still clinging to our love
get my head out of the clouds
forget about the dirty little things I accused you of
fire away
spill your guts, let‘s get this straight
(tell me it‘s alright)
it’s funny how I wear you out
same numbers to a different sound
(4, 5, 6,7)
but once we both get high on romance
it takes my fear away
your silly jokes still have us laughing
forever chasing our own tales
yeah once we both are high on romance
our troubles fade away
so here's to living in the moment
this is our bella notte!
put that record on and shout it out
(our sweet late summer songs)
matching numbers to the same old sound
(our sweet late summer songs)
yeah once we both are high on romance
(it takes my fear away)
so here’s to givin’ in to the moment
so here’s to living in the moment
(it takes my fear away)
so here’s to living in the moment
(it takes my fear away)
