There were times
When whites were right
There were times
When we had to fight

Our independance is important
There were those who died for it

Do you remember those different wars?
We fought until we could no more
We were being rearranged around to suit their needs
Why are we listening?

Freedom!
I wanna have freedom
Coz I can do what I like
And go where I like
Without being restricted

Freedom!
That is the sound
Of our kingdom
Peace and quiet
From here to there
From near to everywhere

Liberty!
We hanna have
Fraternity!
Well have
Equality!
Let us all be free
Freedom!
Let's my heart beat faster
It helps my mind at ease
We should try and give
To our kids
Our wish
My wish
Is for us to have
**FREEDOM!!!!

Even the sun becomes a burden for us to handle

Without light, what is there to see in this world??

They're gone
Ran away from here
And it is so clear
That they're gone
Left me ask alone
With no one to hold
They're gone

One morning when I came home
I saw the door lying open
People on the floor
My eyes popped at what I saw
My family left me with just a letter to say
That they can no longer be near
Can no longer stay
As they live in fear
But why? No explanation
As why you left me all alone all alone

The house was feeling empty
Without them here
I couldn't take it
I never would've made it
Coz they're gone
I ran away looking
But no one was near TO find
Except my guilty conscious mind
Surely this is a game
One which I can't win

But they're gone
But why'd they leave so soon
I think I should too
But they're gone
But they've gone everywhere
I guess I'll follow them there
Coz they're gone

Surely this is a game
One which I can't win...

Life is like a ray of hope
Try and jump around and into it
Maybe then it'll be understandable
But I guess it took a while before
I got his chance just to say
What is on my mind
In my room
Within my grasp

Take like and throw it in the bin,
Beware it
Maybe there'll only be just that
A fine line drawn between you and I

it was in the beginning of the end of spring
and all i wanted was you
you bathed my eyes in loving lies that sting
while you hid away the truth
every moment that you take a step back
you'd rather walk a mile
and if you even told me that
i guess I'd rather force a smile

this time is part of another millennium
you and your friends can smoke cigars
this time i get to open up my arms
you and your friends like to laugh loud
another day, wishing that i stopped asking twice
another way, going another direction, this time

i always mess up and we fight all night long
and you eventually shut me out, close the door
and when i try to phone you to make up
you've already moved on, before i got up

so don't come with your tales, when everything turns sour
you had your chance, and it was your last hour
to fix the broken pieces and fit it back again
so maybe when we brush against each other
we'll see eye to eye

this time i swear i know it's over
with you and your laughable lies
this time i think i know it's over
coz you got yourself a new guy
and he forgets to call you
or whisper goodnight
but if you're wondering how i'm doing
take a number, my dear
and maybe, maybe then i'll get back to you

and it was in the beginning of summer
when the sun had smiled for long
and now that i look in your eyes
all i see is winter snow

your eyes are like frost, it pierces through my heart
your words are like knives, thrown into my chest
nobody will be like me, coz you wanted him
and now you're crying, and now you're trying
to get away
but it's just for
today

this time i swear i know it's over
you will never get my hand to hold
this time i swear i think it's over
that you ever get warm by me, when it's cold
never call me, you're freaking out
you sent me a text, saying that we're past
so don't pretend like i hurt you bad
when all i did was make you glad
and now that you don't want what you got
you better keep it, coz it's a gift, not bought

surely everything in life ain't for keeps
this world of ours is not ours to steal
maybe in the shadows of the morning
you'll get to see what i'm dreaming, of

If there were only enough for all of us
Then surely sunshine will grace us
After that the moon falls and begs for life
While we human souls wait, if we're wrong or right

Under the sewers
Stay a race unknown
They've hidden themselves
So that we can't see
How good a people they are
And how bad a human we are

Under the sewers
Last among the village
A wee hamlet
Which inside is a wizard
Who is hated throughout their whole population
All coz he made a silly accusation
But insisted on a proclamation
That would divert them from devastation

Under the sewers
We're the children crying
Their tummies a aching
They mouths a shouting

Under the sewers
Of a great country
Is where many sit and sigh
This is where they hide for protection
From the above world
Where riches and material
Are valuable
And where deeds are left
And they treat many like vagrants

Under the sewers
were where my dreams would be
They would be out of the ordinary
Of course that's just a story
That I made up, imaginatively

Do you always have to smile when I begin to cry?
Do you always have to laugh when I'm barely alive?
Was it life that happened, or did it fall away?
Was it my imagination or did you lose your way?

So innocent, since the first day you played us all out like fools

YOU WERE IN COLLEGE WORKING PART-TIME WAITING TABLES
LEFT A SMALL TOWN NEVER LOOKED BACK
I WAS A FLIGHT RISK WITH A FEAR OF FALLING
WONDERING WHY WE BOTHER WITH LOVE
IF IT NEVER LASTS...

Hoping you'll visit me
When will that be?

same story, you tell me, every time
just keep saying, you don't, why
should the weaker suffer
and let them get stronger
just let it be and
let them spread their wings

This world that I live in, was once an atom
And then it split and suddenly it grew
Funny how, throughout this big world
I somehow find myself next to you
There were dinosaurs who ruled the land
Funny little creatures hidden in sand
Maybe if we lived in a time like that
Maybe if we died in a state like that

Throw yourself into a volcano, watch it erupt
Mount Vesuvius, and everybody is burned
This what it feels like when I'm not with you
That's what it feels like when I'm in love with you

Take my hand and run away with me now
Hold me and then maybe you'll stay with me now
Just a moment before you let it all fall down
Then you'll get to see what you wanted to see
(You get to be who you wanted to be)

There are too many things in this world
Too many topics to talk about
With you, and my heart's stopped
The moment I see you standing
And then I see him coming in...

What happened to our love-story?
You said it would've made history
Maybe it was just a thing to say to guys like me
And now I'm sick to my stomach
So I STAY at home on Saturday afternoons
With my friends, it's so boring

So bare with me while I'm speaking
Tried to shove you a rose, but your guy said no
Always on the background, that's where he should stay now
But you never said anything that made him proud


There are too many things in this world
Too many topics to talk about
With you, and my heart's stopped
The moment I see you standing
And then I see him coming in...

So you're on your own now
Living in the wilderness
He's drunk and his hopeless
There's nothing you can do now

So help me out and come right here
I've been waiting for you
So its late now, its almost gone now
Where is he now?


There are too many things in this world
Too many topics to talk about
With you, and my heart's stopped
The moment I see you standing
And then I see him coming in...

And you're going out
And he's angry now
He's vein might pop
His hairs oily
You're not there
To be his toy
Say, say his goodbye
Say, say you're alright

The feelings gone, the pains are accumulating
The rain that drips, the story's are summarising
They coming to an end, why is it ending?
The desert of truth, is constantly burning
The forest of lies, it's constantly growing
The horrible fights, is sounding like growling
Of course it would, you both are like animals

My heart is breaking
My eyes are watering
My life is tearing
My body is wearing
My hands are carrying
My brain is thinking
What's happening?
My house is breaking
The maid is cleaning
The poor are leaning
I can't take this
You are lying
You aren't helping
You're just there for the show

If it rains and it snows
You'll just want to go
You'll take it all, with you
My aching heart, with you
You'd leave a string, of hope
Many girls crying, from you
Their tears ain't enough
FOR you to give up
Why you leaving?
Are you best at it?
Your offspring are orphaned
When we die, and our lives
Are forgotten, it old kids
Are thrown away
They don't get too play
Why should I even care
whether you are dead
Coz all you did was turn my life up
Side
Down...

I remember walking all around the city
Flashing lights and bustling cars
All the people kept staring, looking at you
You smiled and looked back at your heart

It was breaking, cracks appearing
You were crying, we were saving
Couldn't mend it, coz he broke it
Glad you ended it, he wasn't worth it

I remember pink clouds of candy floss
Long walks on the beach
Fun days and endless crazy days

Was it when you laughed?
That I found peace
Was it in your hand
That I was beaten
Everybody still tells you what to do
Nobody gives you a chance to think of you

Was this how life had to be?
You moved away, further from me
Was it when you stood him up
That you fight back harder  these days

Remember the mornings, making toast
Remember the feelings, of letting go
Remember your heart when you said no
Remember that time almost lost

Was it when you laughed
That he came back
Left you hanging for a while
After two days of love
He never told you what
He was supposed to

And you made your own
Sister talk with him
And you two went out
And then you left him

You barely talk at all, maybe with your friends
But they are not around, they never were with you till the end
And we can run around, like the kids we used to be
And they can TAUNT us now, but we don't see

Was it when you were laughing
That you let go so hard
Was it when I was crying
That you had to leave
Why did you go through with everything
You could've just let me know

And in the memories, in the evening
When the sun sets, you're still breathing
Letting go of, all that you love
Let this end now, it's time to go now

Three storeys high, and I can't believe
You told a lie, and now it all seems
Like we were not, even buddies
But you were shocked with what I revealed

Was it necessary to put on a show
Did you have to tell the whole world
You couldn't have done it on accident
Instead when we made up, you stabbed me again

And they might never wanna be by me
And they might always wanna taunt me
And they might never care again
If I fall, from a cliff, and I'm hanging on

Walking in a place, barely remembering to save grace
It was just another dream, that I'm in
And why oh why, would you even try
Are you unhappy with me, tell me
It doesn't regard all these whispers behind faces
They're just faceless robots
Trying to tear my heart out and replace
All the courage I got

It's Tuesday, I gave what you want
And today, you said what you wanted
And tomorrow, I never thought of getting
A text from you saying

Why would you, ever wanna pick on me
When I'm just an innocent little boy
Are you bored, or is this a joke again
Oh my word, can't you grow up even

Take your last steps before you fall down
I was there when they gave you your crown
This might have been the last time
Coz everybody might have believed you, this time

Do you think I care, do you think I lost
The thing is that I don't, think that you won
I might have been scratched up when you said it
Scratched up when I heard them laugh at me
But I still got what I want
And I'm gonna be it
And I just wanted to help you
But you turned me down
And we put it past us
At least I thought we did
But you went and escaped the secret
You were lying to me when you said sorry
This might have been your own democracy
The one I don't believe in
Could've been your true blessing
Guess it was no denying
Just let it be...

How do I end up in this bizzare world, is it normal?
How do I go back to where I came from, was I off it all?
You counted every second that we spent inside their prison
Brought us here from beyond the high fences and Gates then
Could you please explain, why I never thought of leaving
Why I always dreamt of looking up at the stars
Is there some other way of trying to be thankful
Why do they always act so shameful

Your lipstick smile, your polished nails
Your lovely eyes, always saw through betrayal

Save what I hid in my closet, from the monsters under my bed
Save what I hid from father, from the trolls of the internet
It wasn't gonna be easy, they said
It never ever gets easy, why still talk now?

Do you like to run on a wheel, coz you're spinnin round and round all day
Do you like the white flashes, does it act as a band aid
Do you like to flash what you got hidden in your mouth
Do you always have to live, and talk how you live, come on now

I said they don't wait up, they're tired
Your words wake them up, they wouldn't rather be tired
You gotta know where to keep your feet
Coz yes you'll lose balance, you'll lose all your fears

Say it now, move slow
Hope is yet to come, you got nowhere to go
Shame grows like disease
You gotta try and get back up on your feet

Who else in this world is tired
Of everybody making you feel like you don't have a home...
