I'm Alive 03:29
I spent five years swimming up against the current Thinking I was going somewhere but I wasn’t Getting tired and being tired was my life But they told me it would all be worth the fight I’ll never know but I let it go and it feels all right I floated down the river and I just took it easy Saw so many things I’d missed when I was busy Being tired and trying so hard to win something That after all the swimming doesn’t look like nothing I’ll never know but I let it go And it feels all right I’ll never know but I let it go And it feels all right Chorus: I say why spend my life worried about things I can’t control Why…………… and why spend my life worried about things I cannot know Why…………… While I’m alive I could cry over all the years that I had lost Cut off from that life of lies at such a cost But why waste energy on placing blame I don’t know where I would be anyway I’ll never know but I let it go And it feels all right I hear their voices haunting me as I float by Warning me “swim or you will surely die” But I believe I made the best choice I could make and I refuse to question myself every day I’ll never know but I let it go And it feels all right I’ll never know but I let it go And it feels all right Chorus: I say why spend my life worried about things I can’t control Why…………… and why spend my life worried about things I cannot know Why…………… While I’m alive_______________ I’m alive___________________ I’m alive__________________ I forget that I have a life and I’m not dead yet I’m alive__________________ Make the best of the life I have without regret Chorus: I say why spend my life worried about things I can’t control Why…………… and why spend my life worried about things I cannot know Why…………… While I’m alive

Copper 04:06
I’ll tell you a story tell you about copper His love got on a train and He didn’t try to stop her I’ll never be happy So I will not try I’ll sit on the tracks and Wait my turn to die He has nothing to live for He’s waiting for the end He’ll never be happy He won’t try to pretend He sent his heart on a train A long time ago Dreams of being happy But doesn’t have a hope Eat drink and be merry I don’t think I’ll try Why bother to live if We’re all going to die Maybe I’ll be happy My time has not come yet But with just one bullet I can just forget And you can all forget me While I am asleep Sleep is all I have now Nothing else to keep Why bother to live if It’s all going to end Read Ecclesiates And you’ll understand Depression is a battle Something you must fight You may think you’re crazy But I think you’re right There is no hope here But we can still try It will not be easy I will not lie But if it is a comfort Give it some more time Even with no bullet One day you will die Even with no bullet One day you will die

Beauty 04:43
Sweet like peaches Beauty Says to me Come one over I am good to eat taste me slowly I will tell you why Too much too quickly and You will cry You will cry Soft like babies Beauty says to me Touch me gently Form a memory Fragrant like flowers Breath it in deep Once you breath out My beauty you can’t keep You can’t keep Like the ocean is The voice of beauty Once I heard it I Let it consume me But she stopped me saying It’s a lovely sound But if you do that You will surely drown Drown You will drown You will drown You will drown Beauty if I could drown in you you would become like the sand I would grasp two handfulls and you’d slip right through my hands In the garden you’re the only tree That has forbidden fruit Like a lilly among thorns That I cannot quite get to to…. that I can’t get to That I can’t get to to

I love you more than you’ll ever love me I know It’s ok, but there is something You should know And if I have become a monster in your eyes Maybe you should have stopped and asked yourself why But you don’t know I tried to tell him no Said I had to go But he had me alone Took away my phone I need you but you’ve never needed me And I’m sorry I’ve needed you unequally But you should know that I still need you every day It didn’t change, just because you went away And you don’t know I tried to tell him no Said I had to go But he had me alone Took away my phone I live those moments again and again My life was out of my hands but I tried to pretend That at any moment that it would be over and I could just pretend that it had never happened Now I’m alone when I need you the most His face is haunting all of my dreams like a ghost And I am so angry at him and myself and the world and at you for leaving me alone All alone, no one knows You’re the one I would have told

Suddenly 03:04
One morning A trip to the backyard and my Mind went with no control It brought up a picture Of me in the future Leaving me no trouble As I thought to myself Suddenly My path can be seen I’m destined to follow Although It may become tragedy But for me Destiny seems To be The goal One of those days Full of problems and I Let my mind ramble On its own it decided To scramble situations Leaving me no trouble As I thought to myself Suddenly My path can be seen I’m destined to follow Although It may become tragedy But for me Destiny seems To be The goal Suddenly My path can be seen I’m destined to follow Although It may become tragedy But for me Destiny seems To be The goal

Flowers 02:58
I met this guy He’s so perfect that it could make you cry And the other girls Are doing everything they can to catch his eye I hear that he Works with children and he has a great degree Between you and me Just the way he moves can speed up my heart beat He’s cute, he’s smart, he’s nice And he is into me He says let’s go out Friday night And go see a movie But he didn’t bring me flowers Put no thought into it, what a disappointment He didn’t try to woo me What’s a girl to do My kind of guy Would want to try to sweep me off of my feet Like I’m a prize Worth winning and not just a piece of meat Today I feel like I am just another girl on another date It might be worth giving, him another chance but it’s too late At the end of the night He tells me I’m pretty But I just say goodnight When he tries to kiss me He didn’t bring me flowers Put no thought into it, what a disappointment He didn’t try to woo me What’s a girl to do I really got my hopes up with this one I thought that he would be a gentleman But I guess he just wanted some fun He didn’t bring me flowers Put no thought into it, what a disappointment He didn’t try to woo me What’s a girl to do What’s a girl to do

I saw a girl sitting in the dark On a chair full of hope, on a chair full of trust She waited alone, though she was not But she couldn’t have known because of the dark It was dark like my mind after working all day With my hair in the wind and the wind in the sails In the dark, all alone, as she thought she was there In a chair full of hope, in a world without fear Chorus: Sing along, sing aloud I’m Sailing windward Now that I am never alone With her picture over my heart I envy her hope like I envy her day As she sits and she sings and is happy some way As I sail on the sea and I struggle to thrive She’s simply content just to be alive All that she wants is to sit in the dark All the hours a day as a piece of my art Maybe her hope will be part of my too Now that I have this tattoo

My only light source fades away Cocoa butter kisses leave me nauseated I’m sickened by the beauty that surrounds What is pretty is everything that I’ve hated A morbid thing is what I want right now You may not agree that bleeding is beauty But to me, it’s your baby [note: as beautiful as you find your baby] What may upset you may evoke a smile from me Paint me a memory Chorus: Into the water Reflects a memory Full of disorder It used to be It used to be I watch the day as it fades away The horizon moves over the sun The clouds pass the moon in a most peculiar way The weather and the moon are one Will the moon break the cycle Bring on noon while it’s still full It is still so uncomfortable It could double as pain Chorus My only light source fades away Into the water
