WONDERLAND DREAMING
I think about the world
And how it used to be
A place designed for me
Now its turned to dirt
Through technology
Basic human needs
Wonderland dreaming
Feel like I am screaming
Away from all of this
Sunk into abyss
Wonderland dreaming
Wonderland dreaming away
Everything is new
I know it has to change
Nothing stays the same
What am I to do
To make things go my way
Even for a day
DARK TUNNEL OF LIGHT
Dark tunnel of light
Are you dim are you bright
Are you wrong are you right
I don’t know what is right
Anymore
Im going home
Cause home is where the heart is
I don’t need this madness
Im afraid of sadness
Dark tunnel of light
Is it day or night
Im having a fright
Right now
LOST WEEKEND
Lost weekend may be good for me
As far as I can see I’m already there
I don’t know what I’m going to do
I’m trying to push through
Moving on
Lost weekend
I’ve made my mind up
I’m indecisive
I’ve got no friends
But that don’t matter
They’re overrated
Let’s pretend I got my own way
And everything could stay as it was
Chasing all of history
Won’t you let ie be like it was
DREAMING IN A LIVING HELL
Some days I wanna get up
And get out of bed
Some days I’m feeling so dumb
Scratching my head
I’m dreaming in a living hell
There’s nothing living in my world
I’m living still for honesty
Can someone come and bring it please
PARANOIA AND BROKEN HEARTS
Venture through the darkness of the universe
To find your soul
Star crossed eyes and whitewashed lies
Amidst black holes
And I’m dreaming where this leads me
Paranoia will defeat me
Worry about the state of what you have become
Later on
All the people that you used to know and love
Have now gone
And I’m dreaming where this leads me
Broken hearted, eventually
NIHILISTICALLY OPTIMISTIC
Everything fades eventually
Caught in a daze
Locked away in a dream
Nihilistically
Living just for me
Nothing is real except what I feel
I’m trying so hard
To let myself heal
Nihilistically
Living just for me
DEPRESSINGLY MAYBE
Depressingly maybe I’m done
Time to move on
Caressingly baby you’re here
The moment is here
It’s nearly time
LIFE IS A BITTERSWEET MEMORY
Wake up to the same thing you do every single day
Life is a bittersweet memory
Change for the better but it’s not cause you’re growing up
Life is a bittersweet memory
Walking around the spot that you found
When you were ten years old
You were so young, you were so dumb
But you were oh so bold
How could it be this monster like me
Turned to such a fool
It’s time to realise that you are
Changing, so peculiar
Is it too late to turn it round
Are you happy safe and sound
