just a lost soul swimming in a fish bowl
The clock is ticking And taking my time away. There are no promises that can make it stop; The words, useless. Reminiscing won't make the future like the past Nostalgia is just a mind mischief. Nonetheless, memories keep us alive. They never fade. Living an unfulfilled life, The only escape that keeps me breathing is the thought of repetition. Nothing will bring that summer back. The years will keep passing me through. And no matter what, I'll still miss you.

ever
I've come to the conclusion that this was nothing but an illusion. I was stuck on an idea of you an idea that looked so purely true. Reality decided to silence my dream reality turned this fire into smoke and now there's nothing left where we once were.

watch out
So this is what it feels to learn something everyday And the only reason I'm learning is because you're away What am I saying...? I didn't even ask you to stay. I am learning how to bear with mixed up feelings Somehow I miss you And somehow I wish you missed me too But you wouldn't miss me as fiercely As I miss you. I am learning how I can't force myself to feel What I know isn't real. And it's okay. I mean... She must have done something better. You must love coming home to her smile. And maybe you found something in her eyes That you lost in mine.

Learning
you know those demons your religious grandmother warned you about? they live inside everyone around you. whenever someone loses hope whenever someone loses themselves that's how their demons work. they haunt their every dream they live inside their nightmares and it's not a movie for them. it's the darkness that takes over the light whenever someone finds nothing else to fight for when people become more fearful than human. and you know those demons that you've been warned about? they live inside you too.

You're not you anymore. Or at least the you I knew. And I knew you pretty well For someone you say didn't care. And don't give me that ******** That people don't change Because if you hadn't changed I wouldn't have been alone on a friday night.

I know I think about you more than I should And maybe more than you do And sometimes I get lost and hope to never come back Because I find in you everything I lack. It might be selfish to want you But I don't mind if I do. Don't worry love You'll find someone better.

selfish
Está a ficar tarde, e tu atrasaste-te outra vez Já respirei fundo e contei até três. Mas de nada me serviu. Nós caminhamos numa ténue linha E ela está a começar a romper Ainda nem tivemos tempo para nos conhecer. Sei que é ingénuo da minha parte pensar em algo mais Quando de mim só dou o que quero Mas de ti tudo espero. Estamos a chegar ao fim. Tens mais alguma coisa a dizer? Talvez deveríamos ter escrito um parágrafo E acabámos a meio de uma frase.

culpas e desculpas
There is always someone else. Someone who can make your eyes sparkle more than I do. So don't even think about starting something we won't finish Because she'll make you regret it. I don't know who she is But I'm sure she'll know you.

Who
Life goes by without you even noticing it One day you have it all The next one you lose it all. It's less than a minute But more than a second And there's no stop button. There's no life watch No way to say when it ends Nor when it began. Sometimes it feels as good as 4 o'clock On a sunny Saturday afternoon Sometimes it feels as bad as 2 o'clock On a dark Friday night. Everyone is rushing and running Everyone wants to stop the clock But they often forget That there is no clock to stop.

Visions
I was born in a generation where I'm told self-hatred is no issue I was born in a generation that says girls are pink and boys are blue I was born in a generation where I'm told I can think by myself But only if I think like everyone else I was born in a generation that prefers a mirror over a book I was born in a generation that only cares about how I look They tell me body over soul And popularity is your highest goal. Well, I was born in a world with seven oceans and five continents. I was born part of a species that searches for answers. I was born alongside people who fight for those who can't. I was born with a voice and no fear to use it. I was born with a mind of my own And I refuse to submit myself to dull standards.
