Thoughts

There are certain people, you just keep coming back to
She is right in front of you
You begin to wonder, could you find a better one
Compared to her now she's in question

And all at once, the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing
Are the same

Maybe you want her, maybe you need her
Maybe you started to compare
To someone not there

Looking for the right one, you line up the world to find
Where no questions cross your mind
Ah, but she won't keep on waiting, for you without a doubt
Much longer for you to sort it out

And all at once, the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing
Are the same

Maybe you want her, maybe you need her
Maybe you started to compare
To someone not there
Maybe you want it, maybe you need it
Maybe it's all you're running from
Perfection will not come

And all at once, the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes
We'd never know what's wrong without the pain
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing
Are the same

Maybe you want her, maybe you need her
Maybe you've started to compare
To someone not there
Maybe you want it, maybe you need it
Maybe it's all you're running from
Perfection will not come

Maybe you want her, maybe you need her, maybe you had her
Maybe you lost her to another
To another

Emotions

Step one, you say we need to talk
He walks, you say sit down it’s just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
'Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you and

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

...My own life...

Kanske

Jag skulle lika gärna kunna vara låtskrivare åt The Used, vi verkar ju ha exakt samma tankar som virvlar runt i huvudet... Känner igen mig i så många låtar från den nya skivan Lies for the liars att det nästan känns lite övernaturligt...

Let me be the one who calls you baby
All the time
Surely you can take some comfort knowing
That you're mine
Just hold me tight
Lay by my side
And let me be the one who calls you baby
All the time

I found my place in the world
Could stare at your face for the rest of my days

Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
And smother me
Warm and alive, I'm all over you
Would you smother me

Let me be the one who never leaves you
All alone
I hold my breath and lose the feeling that I'm
on my own (leaves me all alone)
Hold me too tight
Stay by my side
And let me be the one who calls you
Baby all the time

I found my place in the world
Could stare at your face for the rest of my days

Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
And smother me
Warm and alive, I'm all over you
Would you smother me, smother me, smother me

When I'm alone time goes so slow
I need you here with me
And how my mistakes have made your heart break
Still I need you here with me
So baby I’m, baby I'm here

Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
And smother me
Warm and alive, I'm all over you
Would you smother me (let me be the one)
Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
And smother me
Warm and alive, I'm all over you
Would you smother me, smother me, smother me

Let me be the one who calls you baby
All the time
Let me be the one who calls you baby
All the time
Let me be the one who calls you baby
The one who calls you baby...

Klumpen växer

I sink now to the ocean floor
Because I know that we are more
But I've made this mess
I built this fire
Are you still mine?

'Cause baby, I'm not alright when you go
I'm not fine
Please be all mine
I never want you to go because I am all yours
So please be all mine

She had an earthquake on her mind
Apparently the kind that would bury us alive
By putting all this weight on us forever
I lie here on the ocean floor
Broken castle by the shore
And I've made this mess
I built this fire
Are you still mine?

'Cause baby, I'm not alright when you go
I'm not fine
Please be all mine
I never want you to go because I am all yours
So please be all mine

Let me save us
I've slaughtered us
I've murdered our love
I can taste it, this blood in my mouth
This knife in my lungs
Have I murdered our love...
Have I murdered our love?

'Cause baby, I'm not alright when you go
I'm not fine
Yeah, please be all mine
I never want you to go because I am all yours
So please be all mine...

Paralyzed

Känner att det lär bli en del texter, citat och dikter ett tag framöver. Mår inte så bra. Sämre än jag någonsin gjort egentligen...

Trodde verkligen inte detta om dig. Kommer aldrig kunna se på dig på samma sätt igen.

Before I could ever let you go
Gonna beg until I drive you mad
And say something you could understand
I'm a statue baby, knock me out

Oh how these moments fade away, you say you never loved me
We say things we didn't mean to say
I take it back, I take it all back now
I take it back, I take it all back

Paralyzed by the same old antics
Back and forth like some walking spastic
How could a fistfight be romantic
Thinking back now, will you ever feel the same?

You mean more to me than you'll ever know
You're my boy and I think it's a shame
That we get along this way
I'm just a statue, try to knock me out

I guess these moments fade away
Saying you never loved me
Said things we didn't mean to say
I take it back, I take it all back now
I take it back, I take it all back

And I know you feel the same
You gotta let me know
I'm dying inside to know
Knock me out
I'm dying inside to know
Let me know
Knock me out

Maktlös

If you're not the one, then why does my soul feel glad today
If you're not the one, then why does my hand fit yours this way
If you are not mine, then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine, would I have the strength to stand at all
I never know what the future brings
But I know you're here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don't want to run away, but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you, then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

If I don't need you, then why am I crying on my bed
If I don't need you, then why does your name resound in my head
If you're not for me, then why does this distance maim my life
If you're not for me, then why do I dream of you as my wife
I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

I don't want to run away, but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you, then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
You know my heart is by your side

I don't want to run away, but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you, then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

I'm such a failure

Jag var rätt inställd på det från början, lika bra tänkte jag, så att man inte blir så besviken efteråt. Men jag hade ändå hoppats lite... fast det var ju alldeles förgäves. Är så ledsen på mig själv just nu. Allt hängde ju på detta. Så nu måste jag praktiskt taget börja om från noll igen... Vad ska jag göra nu liksom? Energin för att fortsätta finns ju verkligen inte kvar, blir så mycket som läggs på hög nu... För de flesta andra hade detta kanske inte varit en överdrivet stor grej men för mig är det det... Jag är väl van vid motgångar vid det här laget men jag bryts ändå ner mer och mer för varje gång något händer... och jag vet inte hur mycket mer jag tål...

Vad ska jag göra. Vet inte om jag orkar stanna här flera dagar till och hålla uppe nån jävla fasad som ändå kommer falla ihop så fort jag är ensam. Så skulle jag ju iväg på en grej idag också, men jag pallar fan inte det nu... Och alla som kommer fråga en massa. Jag borde väl inte skämmas såhär egentligen men det gör jag ändå...

Behöver dig nu, Flavius :'(

Blinkande, osynliga lampor

Vänd dig om, se dig för
Titta noga
Fokusera
Du vet att något inte stämmer, ja, du vet
Men du vänder dig tillbaka
Tänker det var inget viktigt

Men det var viktigt
Det är fortfarande viktigt
Men du vill inte se
Orkar inte
Sanningen är obehaglig, du vet
Dina ögons val, vad som är bäst för dig

Se genom ett nytt fönster
Genom någon annans ögon
Allt oviktigt blir viktigt
Kan inte påverka, bara vädja
Varför?
Svårt att fokusera, jag vet, du vet

Men det gör du inte
Inte alls
För du står fortfarande vid samma fönster
Och kan inte, vill inte låna en främmande blick
Ens för ett ögonblick

Så du vänder dig åter igen
Som dina ögon säger åt dig
Medan andra ögon glänser, önskar, skriker
Att få byta plats med dina

Fönstret kan inte få dig att förstå
Förrän dina ögon väljer att se genom det
Och du vet det
