A garden full of wonders
A garden full of love and life
A small flower wasting away
A garden full of pain and strife
Now it hides from the sun
Now it's withering on
Used to bring joy and laughter
Now it brings nothing at all
Used to bring joy and laughter
Nobody seems to care anymore
Now it hides from the sun
Now it's withering on
Used to be up for a challenge
Now it's a challenge every day
Used to be up for a challenge
A small flower wasting away
Wanted to bloom
(Wasting away)
Wanted to bloom
(Wasting away)

Distance
02:04
|
|||
Distance ever growing
Inside myself
Between everyone else
"Overcome it" they say
Will I ever feel normal again
Did you even notice
Did you even see
Piles of money that never existed
Weighing down on my shoulder
All of my fears, concerns and worries grow stronger
Weighing down like a boulder
Will I ever feel normal again
I'll face my end one day
I wanna do it with a smile on my face

Underperformer
02:35
|
|||
Tell myself I'm productive
Tell myself I never know why
Days and hours are slipping away
Convinced myself to not even try
Reduce me to dreamlike existence
Passive thoughts, passive mind
Walked down the path with least resistance
Convinced myself I'm doing just fine
Overperform your hubris
(Underperform your life)
Overperform the lie
(Overperform the lie)
You're nothing like you perceive yourself in real life
In their eyes you're doing just fine
In your eyes you're doing just fine
(But you're an)
Underperformer by design
Underperform your way through life

Choke
02:47
|
|||
Promises always given, never kept
Promised to give it back, but here I am
Darkness
Embraced by sickness once again
False friends
Surrounded by them, time and time again
I thought I moved past this
I thought I was done
Choking on my life

Surf

They build me a concrete foundation
Crumbling as it weakens like clay for each day passing
I keep rebuilding, it'll never stand
Astray in their grasp
Alive in a deathtrap
Security never lasting
Sanity seems scarce
My home is my palace
My mind is in ruins
My body is my tomb
Astray in their grasp
Alive in a deathtrap
Forte in a mask
Alive in a deathtrap
A fool with a task
Alive in a deathtrap
They started building a castle for me
It crumbled before it ever stood
As each year passed
What prevailed was only a frame
Stared out an open door
Saw Jesus Christ
He told me to go fuck myself
How will I go to heaven now?

Off
02:40

Fill your soul
Fill to your heart's content
Fill it up till it flows over
Set your goals
Not too high, too low
Set your limits, set yourself
Off
I tried, I tried, I tried
I tried to be my best self
But the stains, the dirt on my hands
Won't wash away
I will never be clean
Fill your cup
Be full of yourself
Crash the bike you'll buy when you turn 40
Jump off the windowsill
Make your mistakes before they make you
Sit alone and rot away
You know it'll be easier when you're gone
But the stains, the grime on my face
Won't wash away
I will never be clean
I’ll never be
I’ll never be
I won’t ever be clean
I will set myself off
Fill your soul
Fill to your heart's content
Fill it up till it flows over
Set your goals
And try not to reach them
Set your limits light yourself on fire

Choices I made
Failures I lived through
Got the better of me
Don’t know how much more I can take
Surrounded by flies
I’m dead but I still survive
Voices whisper secrets
And speak only truths
“Why do you put up with yourself?”
My conscience talks
My heart shuts it out
My rationality closed down
Surrounded by eyes
My stomach churning as I pass them by
I’m dead but I still survive
Enclosed in time
Enclosed in time
Surrounded by flies
I’m dead but I still survive

Swim
02:51
|
|||
You got a name to live up to
You got promise about you
Always told you’re meant to be one of the greats
But it was founded in nothing at all
Swam with broken arms towards the horizon
Washed ashore
Couldn’t even be adrift if I tried
Wouldn’t even die if I drowned
Flew towards the sun with burning wings
Stranded on a cloud
Not even daring to jump for escape
Not even daring to let hunger get me
I used to play the leading man
Got the girl and I saved the day
Now I can’t even be cast as an extra
Went from Sinatra to a modern Travolta
One day I didn’t fucking care
The next I didn’t even dare to think
I used to just not care
Why can’t I just not care
One day I didn’t fucking care
The next I didn’t even dare to think
Why can’t I just not care
Tomorrow let me just not care

Victim
02:41
|
|||
Never faulted
Never see
Never listen
Never learn
Always take
Always drain
In your eyes
You never had a blame
In your eyes
You never had a blame
You'll see if you divert your gaze for a second
No one but yourself caused this
Never faulted
Never see
Never listen
Never learn
Always take
Always drain
You'll see if you divert your gaze for a second
Induced your pain
Infused misery
No one but yourself caused this
They started the fire
You fuel the flames
Induced your fate
Infused misery
Abused your surroundings
Abduced yourself
You're the victim here

Crutches
03:16
|
|||
Broke all my bones
Crushed by life’s boxes
Even after they've healed
I'm still on crutches
Still to this day
I am challenged
In morals, in judgement
Still to this day
I carry on
The best I can
Wondering when
This slow and painful
Transformation from boy to man
Transformation
Will be done
Even if the sun is shining on me and mine
The shadow of doubt will always confine
My deepest thoughts are my darkest secrets
My deepest fears will never be witnessed
Whatever I feel, I'm still a man
