BackAll alone with my heartbeat<br />
Silence, it has no meaning really<br />
He said it with a single sigh<br />
Feel it within me, sadly<br />
<br />
Leave me-<br />
Leave me alone-<br />
Leave me alone to be me<br />
<br />
Wrote a letter addressed to myself<br />
Blank, it has no meaning really<br />
I said it with a single drop of blood<br />
Drowning within me, slowly<br />
<br />
Hold me-<br />
Hold me forever-<br />
Hold me forever to be free<br />
<br />

Electric guitar in my hand-<br />
I've got this drug I call music<br />
And a little sunshine in my heart<br />
<br />
A beautiful girl once told me<br />
I play like romance-<br />
My sound is sweet<br />
My rhythm is strong<br />
<br />
And though I'm really hooked, baby<br />
One thing gets me going-<br />
Ain't nothing drive me crazy<br />
Like a kiss from my lady - oh yeah<br />

Hitting the ground<br />
Feel the darkness<br />
In my hands<br />
I found myself<br />
Safe and sound<br />
Each vibration<br />
Ending in pain<br />
<br />
Falling asleep<br />
Soul in heaven<br />
Feel the silence<br />
Of my shivers<br />
I yearned for<br />
Peace and quiet<br />
Each breath<br />
Beginning in strain<br />

I was gonna say<br />
Enough to make you want to stay<br />
Memories move through me<br />
It helps to keep the feeling<br />
<br />
Trying to act grown-up<br />
I was gonna pray<br />
Enough to make me earn my way<br />
Memories move outside logic<br />
It helps to start the healing<br />

Is here for a reason<br />
It's here to encourage treason<br />
The norms<br />
Only few could follow<br />
The rules<br />
Only few could create<br />

This freedom<br />

It's here only on the surface<br />

Only few could believe<br />
The boundaries<br />
Only few could respect<br />

Who think she's very nice<br />

She better bring a book<br />
Soon it will be lonely<br />

To find the hand of darkness<br />
Grow a beauty within<br />
Without deadly sin<br />
And peace that isn't boring<br />
<br />
Is there a place for us<br />
To make mistakes so we can grow<br />
Or are we seduced<br />
By the excuse<br />
That is covered in innocence<br />

With these thoughts that spin and spin<br />
Uncovering the worst of me<br />
Feeding my helplessness<br />
<br />
Reaching my limit<br />
With these friends that lie and lie<br />
Uncovering the worst in others<br />
Reaching my breaking point<br />
<br />
Keeping myself safe<br />
With these problems that pile and pile<br />
Uncovering the worst of my accomplishments<br />
Keeping only the best<br />

I can no longer fly<br />
I release myself<br />
Quicker than thoughts<br />
Like an out-of-body<br />
To dream, a relaxation<br />
Look, I'm floating-<br />
Towards a better view<br />
Of my own spirituality<br />
<br />
And in my dreams<br />
I take a journey<br />
Every step, images I reflect<br />
Everything changes within me<br />
<br />
Reader of my sexuality<br />
To think, a completion<br />
Listen, I'm running-<br />
Towards a better view<br />
Of my own responsibility<br />
<br />
I take off the glove<br />
I can no longer stay above<br />
I rescue myself<br />
Mother of my love<br />
Like an hallucination<br />
Look, I'm falling-<br />
Towards a better view<br />
Of my own immortality<br />
<br />
And in my dreams<br />
I take a journey<br />
Every step, images I reflect<br />
Everything changes within me<br />
<br />
Reader of my destiny<br />
To think, a competition<br />
Listen, I'm turning-<br />
Towards a better view<br />
Of my own identity<br />

Show me who you can become<br />
Vicious, delicious, so fine<br />
<br />
Whenever the time is right I leave<br />
Show me who you hate<br />
Despise, chastise, so naive<br />
<br />
There is a way we can both be happy<br />
Show me who you truly are<br />
Conniving, thriving, so lovely<br />
<br />
It’s time for me to disappear<br />
Show me who hides in the shadows<br />
Restless, jealous, so sincere<br />

In a little boy's dream<br />
A city of time<br />
Streets named yesterday<br />
Towers reaching tomorrow<br />
<br />
There was once<br />
In a little boy's mind<br />
A man of crime<br />
Old man named savior<br />
Tears reaching regret<br />
<br />
There was once<br />
In a little boy's heart<br />
A key to find<br />
Sights named passion<br />
Truths reaching reason<br />
<br />
