Why do I have to go when there are things such as poetry
How can we go to places and forget the people we saw
Their tongues speaking in tongues while their brains all forgot
And made an effort to bleed sincerously while it was still time
To be honest we could have given anything we were made of
The point was asked but somehow nothing could be done
Somehow still it all remains vague and unknown
We talk about the words in an endless repeating cycle
And laugh in a crisis and then stop and stare at each other
How I want to speak to you in a way that can be heard
All through your skin and blood and become what can't be talked about
The infinite we chased, that only dead men caught
That gives us what we need and will always ache for
The pain of being remunerated through oblivion or pleasure
Sometimes beginning to give a glimpse of a heaven made in here
Made human at last I understood it so clearly
The confusion that holds me like a mother in tears
As another night wishes to be endless through me
Everytime that I believed has led to a greater destiny
And no one, no one is made human by words only
They, and you, and I grew as we were supposed to be
Made into ourselves by thoughts of things that can never be
I wish to stay eternal, pure, but that's a lie
I gave myself enough authority to try and go out under the sun
Like natural children all humans and trees running in joy
Pure closeness to everything and everyone at anytime
Moments of salvation that can be reached through madness
And love, like water to your face, like crying in front of the intensity,
Like hands reaching out to welcome you into creation
The contact of souls unheard and alone
Warmth forgotten by history unlike inhumanity in all forms
Too common to be true and I only believe in stories
I have no identity that I wish to pursue
I have no more upon entering myself
Because the well of thinking is common and universal
With original speeches from unoriginal ideas
Or the opposite and images consciously exposed to be wept upon
Half a century later drenched in water from tears or spit
Loved until death, which means no death at all
And repeated ****** of a feeling shared

I'm the only voice inside of my head
But that's not what I'm worried about
My own room has rejected me again
The state of the world has left me roaming around

When I got too sick I crawled to the road
Found my old thoughts as I watched the landscape roll
I learned everything from these dark shapes in the heave
I believe you know I was born to leave

So I walked the streets in search of innocence
Yours I found and the children were saved
But I think I swear more than I should
I swear I'll come back to see you soon
When I can, when the weather's right
Cause in the confort of winter I slept when I could
And I could only think of you and the city
And the people that don't make a sound
And those that write things on the walls
I'm telling you because I care, and you were there,
I saw salvation on a merry-go-round

I felt the need to stay a while
I needed to find the places in the movies
A perfect moment when the lighting's right
A fake cardboard place full of possibilities

I went to see the few people I can stand
It took them so long to remember what to say
But my words were melting into theirs
I can't face anyone for more than a day

I'm home everywhere as long as the sun sets down
We grow up crooked like trees in the ache that surrounds
I will be home on the road when the sun sets down

I'm confident when I say hello and goodbye
I've never been young, I died once or twice
Still believing it improves overtime
Growing up is taking a while

Start caving in and take all your stuff
It's always too much much and never enough
I'm waiting for them to stop caring about me
That way it'll be easy

You can feel it if you try
The frantic movement of my eyes
Some ***** feeling that lingers
I ripped the skin off my fingers

Tell me how you do that thing
When you talk I hear feeling
While my words remain unfinished

It's snowing again in New York City
It can't be snowing without me
But I'm still where I've always been
Counting trains and feeding fantasies

With the night come long lost memories
From ancient times, would you believe
I've walked this ground for centuries
I feel the earth spinning

I owe my daydreams to January trees
And my peaceful days to winter mornings
Behind my eyes I see
Strange lands of frozen poetry

If you could see what I see
You would find it's all worth it
For a minute lying here
I'm all I could ever be

Oh now I crave for the unreal
In a second away from here
In the sound of a voice I hear
Are visions I want to believe in

I owe my daydreams to January trees
And my peaceful days to winter mornings
Behind my eyes I see
Strange lands of frozen poetry

I'm sorry you started noticing
That the sky is just a painting
Please don't stare, no one understands
Just focus on the touch of my hand

Go talk to her about your days
But don't be fooled by her weather
Cause she's got many other friends
And a guy who doesn't care about them

And I know exactly what to do
I'll just wait until it's over
If it takes a lifetime to find her
Push me aside and let me sleep
I come from a house
With a single window to the sky

You're walking around the same places
Always stopping right at the door
Turn around now and step outside
Look at the sun on the ceiling

It's dark and shining with colours
It's as real as anything else
You won't get much from this city
It's haunted by people like me

And I know exactly what to do
I'll just wait until it's over
If it takes a lifetime to find her
Push me aside and let me sleep
I come from a house
With a single window to the sky

If something's wrong you needn't say
Cause I know all about the way
Your head fell in love with the ground
Now you want a place to lie down

A tiny space with just enough room
To contain you and nothing else
To whisper to your scattered self
And push it back into your skull

At twenty-four
I'll be everything probably
Letter sent was lost at sea
All is lost or left to win
All that matters is twenty-four

Ruling cities or universe
Perfect hair, neverending thirst
Perfect heart cares for all of us
I have to destroy everything first

Hope is reached at a high point
Compulsive joy that I'll recall
Young minds understand everyone
Remember me as the best of all

At twenty-four
Everything will be alright
Fireworks and fairy lights
Another me alone at night
All that matters is twenty-four

Upon your trust I built a castle
Blinded their eyes for my own sake
I am mad, I am a genius
That is, on my glorious days

I am a liar by profession
And I will ****** your conviction
I took a guarantee for life that shines with blood and cyanide

From a young age, I was a winner
Born with a secret taste for guns
I was afraid, I was so sick
I was promised to the sun

I knew right when I first saw you
We'd be two in my fiction land
I kept you there, under my spell
Walking slowly towards the end

I am a liar by profession
And I will ****** your conviction
I took a guarantee for life that shines with blood and cyanide

Pardon my fear that dragged me down
I did what no one can forgive
My love just couldn't bear the thought
To lose yours or to outlive
You

We'll all go out in a blast
I knew it from the start
Oh, my old soul is torn apart
Oh, my children, oh my god
No, they couldn't know I failed the test
So I put a weight to their chest
My dream has been alive
I made them all so proud
When the time came on Judgment day
I made them look the other way
Finally then the truth could rise
I finally burned off my disguise
But the fire for me was a bore
So throw me there now and please never unlock this door
