Cynthia is watching me in the eye
Does she know about the void inside?
I don't know anything else, but
feeling this unnameable take place

Does she ache the way I do?
Or is she just clairvoyant, in her silence cool?
She's a mystery wrapped in a girl, barely talks
I need salvation, so everyone looks like God
Specially those who don't know me at all

Does she know how I look into Gotye's eyes?
Does she know about the emptiness all the time?
About how destructive this fake laughter is?
I try to belong, I try to be
but I'm trapped in between
and this I can't catch, this I can't grasp!

Is she a part of the pattern, the plot?
I will never know!
I am, for sure!

I loved you! Oh, I never said so
because it wouldn't be true

The words lingered in my lips
plastic and eager to exist
because they were not real

I said, "let's love this one"
to get away from my own heart
but that's emotional suicide
just with more casualties beside

Those dim nights I loved you,
but only as much as I could

Take out that one - she's a bore
she's a beast hiding in mother's words
I never needed her, not anymore
She gives pain to those I love
She's misbegotten - she has squinty eyes
but claims to see for miles

That girl ain't me
So I have to kick her out
She messes with my fun
She breaks my heart by sparing me hurt
**** her - I'm done with her stuff

Now you step into shaky, feared land
I tell you: do it, and do it at once
The good adjusted adults tremble in fear
but you should rejoice with this
Get confused, rave, get lost in the maze
of the world
because the world is not a jail
the world is all we have got
Never grow up!

get drunk with the lesbians
be your class reject of choice
outrage parents with a single look
leave your heart in everything you do
be a puzzle to everyone but you

I should not tell you to do all of this
I am the unlikely mom: I don't want you to behave
I just want you to get your way,
I just want you to smile, **** what the world
has to say

They'll try to keep you away, lead you astray
all because they love you to death
and it's true, but it's a peril too
when love keeps you away from you
So love, love, love till your heart cracks
even if they call it awful names and words;
Love, love, love the world is the law.
And your heart won't crack,
because it grows stronger with every move and touch

be a vessel of vitality
be a vessel of your own cause
just mess with it all!

Moody girl,
worries too much
machete in hand
through the mental mush!
a tangle of fears and doubts

"it's not out of nowhere;
it's all out of my own head"

But you love me either way
so I have nothing left to say
I am as lucky as I am moody

Her brain throws darts,
that get stuck in her heart.
She cries, she cries, she cries,
and next minute, she smiles

Moody girl
I know I am crazy but
that was a liberating fact

But you love me either way
so there's nothing left to say
If we love each other, nothing else matters
Take your moody girl home - shake her sulk off
Give her some love - she gives you her whole

Pain must be spoken
else you'll be broken
and you won't even notice
I can't speak out
it hurts too much

But I gotta overcome
The wound is there nevertheless
My screaming won't solve anything
but it will relieve this stress

The wound is there nevertheless
it just grows and grows and I look somewhere else
it's a good strategy, but you are still there
what's squeezing me so tight? I am out of breath!

Alice show me the way
the way to my own pain
so I can kick it out at once
You show me through my eyes
what I knew all the time

You make me sick! You make me feel all wrong!
I run away from pain, because pain is all I know
I oscillate between pure joy and hope
and sheer despair and ache in my heart

this eternal mismatch
i can't let myself be killed
but something's doing it
I don't care; I still moan in the in betweens

You never understood a thing! But Alice does!
Alice, have you thought of the damaged teens?
I did

I met him when lost
and tell me, who is not?
these days I had to build a world...
but I lacked the pulse
nevertheless, I started to walk
and it's fruit now, the seed I laid
when I was halfway there
I've been lost for years
and I was wandering
being lonely, pseudo-wild and free

And I remember
all the things we said
two freaks become friends...
he's a polyglot closeted gay
she's a ******* mess
waiting to hatch the egg
but
the bond that we made
got broken as soon as I break
was it real? in a way it was
for nothing is true or false

The demons assailed me
that's why I ran away
that's why I cried my guts out
and drowned in a sick hug

I wish we could meet at the gates
So we could join back
and talk heart to heart
trying not to look back to the past
but rather saying, hey, we made it this far
and now we can look at each other's face
and laugh at all the **** we've been
