Big Enough

WELL, I HOPE I WON’T FORGET YOU
WHEN YOU’RE THOUSAND MILES AWAY
YOU SAID “THIS WORLD IS BIG ENOUGH
AND WE CAN BOTH TAKE A SHORT TIME BREAK”
THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO TO GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD,
I FEEL LIKE I AM PETRIFIED, I CAN’T MOVE
I TRIED TO OPEN UP AND TELL YOU ABOUT THE BAD TIME I’VE BEEN THROUGH
BUT NOW, OF COURSE IT’S NOT MY PLACE TO SAVE YOU
CAUSE I RUINED MY LIFE IN A FLASH
NOW EVERYTHING’S COLLAPSING DOWN
YOU PROVED ME I WAS WRONG
YOU MADE YOUR CHOICE NOW I’M BUMMED OUT
SO I STAND HERE ALL ALONE

Inner Demon
03:11
|

|
There's a window on the inner demon's cell
haven't seen through I don't know for how long
always keep it close but I know it's so strong
I'm covering myself
Everytime I walk beside that window
I hear it calling me from that deep hard blue
everytime I see it through the window
I open up myself
answering my demon
Cause everybody's got an inner demon
always telling us to do it so wrong
opening the cell
calling up our demon
And everybody's got an inner demon
always telling you to do it so wrong
open up yourself
open to your demon
Yeah
Everybody’s got the devil in his mind
Everybody keep their sins below the ground
And everytime I run into temptation
I’m feeling like a creep with no reaction
and everytime I walk beside that window
I’m giving up
I don't want to fall in love tonight
and bring this inquisition by my side
I want to be fine
I want to feel alive tonight
so what should I do now to make it right?
Open up your demon
Cause everybody's got an inner demon
always telling us to do it so wrong
opening the cell
calling up our demon
And everybody's got an inner demon
always telling you to do it so wrong
open up yourself
open up your demon
Everybody's got an inner demon
Open up yourself
because hell could be mistaken for heaven
open up yourself
and this could be mistaken for the hell.

Rise and Fall
01:29
|

|
LET ME TELL YOU A STORY I’VE BEEN TOLD
IT’S ABOUT A BOY, A GIRL AND RISE AND FALL
A SIMPLE RISE AND FALL
AND NOW THAT SHE REALIZED HER LIFE IS FINALLY CALM
I GUESS IT’S TIME SHE UNDERSTANDS SHE CAN RESTART
AND LIVE THIS CURRENT DAWN
FOR MANY YEARS TO COME
NO MORE LOOKING FOR LOVE, LOOKING FOR LOVE
I THINK SHE HAD ENOUGH OF BEING PUSHED AWA TRYING SO HARD
AND AFTER HE REALIZED THAT HE’S ALL ALONE
HE KEEPS ON WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED TO THEIR LOVE
AND NOW HE’S A BROKEN HEART, HE THINKS THIS LIFE’S A JOKE
LOVE, NEEDY FOR LOVE, HE’S NEEDY FOR LOVE
I THINK HE’S THE ONE WHO DOESN’T HAVE THE INTENT TO GIVE UP
AND AFTER YEARS OF SELF COMPASSION, AND EVEN MOMENTS OF PURE DEJECTION
THEY RESIGNED TO ACCEPT THE FINAL CALL
IT‘S A SIMPLE RISE AND FALL

Just a Way
03:39
|

|
YOU LOST THE SPARKLE IN YOUR EYES
THE DAY SHE PASSED AWAY
AND THAT GREAT BLUE SKY (INSTANTLY) FADED TO GREY
I CAN IMAGINE YOU WERE THERE LAYING IN YOUR BED
TRYING TO ESCAPE THE PAIN
BUT WHEN YOU THINK THAT EVERY WISH CAN BE MISUNDERSTOOD
THAT’S WHEN YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO
YOU HAVE THIS KIND OF FRACTURE NO ONE CAN REPAIR
ALTHOUGH WE ARE ALWAYS THERE (FOR YOU)
I KNOW IT'S REALLY HARD TO LOSE THE ONES YOU LOVE THE MOST
YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE FOREVER LOST
BUT WHEN YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN STOP THE RAIN, AND YOU FIND OUT YOU CANNOT,
UNTIL THE STORM IS GOOOOOOOOOONE
IT’S HARD TO FIND A SHELTER
BUT SOMEHOW TIME WILL HEAL THIS HEART
YOU JUST NEED A REACTION
AND NOT A GODDAMN PRAYER
PLEASE START LIVING FOR TODAY
FIND A WAY, JUST A WAY TO FACE THIS NEW LIFE AND LIVE EACH NEW DAY
FIND A WAY TO MOVE ON AND FACE THINGS YOU LOVE AND HATE
JUST A WAY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT MAKES SENSE NOWADAYS
JUST A WAY, JUST A WAY, JUST A WAY
AND YOU’LL JUST FIND YOUR WAY
