Don't know what's gotten into me
Can't feel myself, can't see clearly
Feels like im drowning in confusion
As if this is all an illusion
Lost control over my body
Everything seems so blurry
Im suffocating on my own thoughts
They tangled my neck no matter how hard i had fought
Their marks are deep in my veins
Knifing their way to my heart, to my brain
Poisonous as a snake's bite
Got me by surprise
Didn't see myself fall so hard
Surrender to you with my last card
Don't even know where to start
All i'm going to say is you got me off guard
Mysterious intentions or friendly suggestions
In you, i see my reflection

If you were offered a place in heaven
Will you accept the invitation to paradise land?
Will you abandon the things to which you are attached?
Are you willing to leave it all behind
And take a seat next to the Gods?
You know you'll be happier up there
But your legs are still shaking
They're still hesitating
Your steps remain shadows
Waiting to be swallowed
You look up and notice the long endless staircase
You look down and see the people walking as if they're charity cases
At the top, floating clouds and wealthy spirits
On the bottom, floating minds
Emptied of their reason, replaced with shallow sights
If you were offered a place in heaven
Will you ignore the screaming voices?
Will you let the starving beasts limit your choices?
Will you give in to your senses
Or will you break free and conjugate to your own tenses?
Just a bit of freedom
Just a bit of wisdom
If i was offered a place in heaven...
Heaven is where my imagination is
Heaven is where my heart is
Heaven is where my thoughts take me
Far from reality that would be
For the unthankful, for the believers, for the dreamers, for those who broke free.

Book your place on the train of my thoughts
That travels around my mind all the way to my heart
See yourself through my eyes
Forget your fears, leave them behind
There's nothing that could describe
The way i feel about you, the feelings kept inside
Some words are better left unsaid
Cause everything our mouth says is released into the world.
That makes our feelings defined and precise
As they turn into seizable material
Possessed by each and every speaking creature.
My feelings are for me
My feelings are for you
They're not for the world to see
They're not to be used
But by my virtuality speaking to yours
Through our tangled eyes
As i breathe the air that traveled around that body of yours
Loaded with sweetness, touched by your soul
Sacrificing itself to revive my lungs
Tickling my cheeks, it's my being it swung
With every breath that you breathe
With every breath that i breathe
From your lungs to mine
Like an ***** that soothes us both
That ***** is our lost feelings of love

Say you'll save me from myself
From the monster living inside of me
Say you love me as well,
Say you'll help me be
The best of me you've always wanted to see
Say you'll detangle my fears
Hold me tight, let me know you'll be here
Carrying my heart in yours
Taking care of my soul like it's your own
Look into my eyes and just assure me
That everything's gonna be alright like you've always said it would be
Let me wrap myself up in you
So that i can rest my head in my usual nest
Listening to the greatest symphony coming from your chest
The sound of your generous heartbeats
Keeping me company while your protective arms surround me
like an army
Let's just stop time and have our own little silent party
We'll dance to the beat of our united joyful hearts
While you spin me around singing "we'll never be apart"

You and i both
Know what it takes
To live on clouds, floating in space
In our mystical dreams that we rarely loathe
That is for the vibrant beauty that hides within
My passionate eyes whenever they see you grin
So what if the power of our fantasy
Is strong enough to win over reality?
Would all our dreams come true like you promised me
Or will we feel so overwhelmed that we'd fail to be
The perfect image of each other's imagination
Drawn with critical observation
Of the things we like
The things we don't
Like the way you smile
Your heavenly cologne
Or the way you get cranky
When my mood swings and i stare at you blankly
What if the power of our fantasy
Is strong enough to win over reality?
Would all our dreams come true like you promised me?

When i was younger my mom used to say
Someday your prince will come and steal you away
On his white horse you'll ride
Across the utopian valleys  
Im still waiting for those promised fantasies
As i got older my momma comforted me
The time will come, await the day
"You'll find love, i assure you"she used to say
Love doesn't want to be found
Love likes to hide and not make a sound
When you're ready it reveals itself
In the most beautiful, unexpected ways
Dwelling in a divine creature
That blinks at you while you gaze
At him while admiring his features
And out of nowhere, it hit you
The one thing you knew was due
But never thought would come true.
All the fairytales are vanished
Replaced with cursive words
Dancing to the rhythm of this curse
That is in fact two-faced
Thus, nothing's ever too messy to be chocolate glazed.

Here we go again
Same person different day
Different person, same mistakes
Still, Feelings remain the same
When we finally decide to open up our wounded heart
Go for it and risk it all
Erase previous regrets and start again
Offer ourselves as slaves to strain
A door sewed with pearls
Appears to our thrilled eyes
A carpet tainted red
Unfolds itself in the heavenly clouds
Lifting us to the cosmic space
Previously visited when our hearts set sail
Blinded with love, both traveled away
But yet again you seem to act childish
Not caring about what i feel, acting selfish
Is it me who misread all the signs
Or is it you that's turned upside down?
There's always something missing, something going wrong
When you love them from deep within
They shut their door in your pleading face
When your friendship is at its best
They surprise you with the feelings long-hidden in their chest
It never seems to be the right moment
As if he's meant to be your opponent
So this is what it feels like to walk in my shoes
Let me know if you find a cure to these blues
