When it's not too late to keep attempting
To transfer your thoughts into feelings
Grown up and conditioned to give in
To a fear of people leaving
When you copypaste to live your life
It's not that specific kind of striv-
-ing towards to communicate a feeling
Assuming that will never hit a ceiling
Just don't suffocate
From pretending to have a plan
On how to treat your remaining lifespan
Just don't suffocate
From pretending to have a plan
On how to treat your remaining lifespan
When it's not too late to live a dream
It's not that specific kind of theme
Playing to please your sense of meaning
It's not that thing towards you're leaning
Just don't suffocate
From pretending to have a plan
On how to treat your remaining lifespan
Just don't suffocate
From pretending to have a plan
On how to treat your remaining lifespan
Just don't suffocate
From pretending to have a plan
On how to treat your remaining lifespan
Just don't suffocate
From pretending to have a plan
On how to treat your remaining lifespan

Set up to be able to see
The next days first rays of light
Set up to be up all night
If you choose to don't let a lie
Be a lie you're following through
Don't deny that it's mainly you
Who wants to be stupid and glue
Your mind to the next thing
Don't try to run
Fuck up yourself and have it done
If it's not yourself it's fine
You were planning to cross that line
Be lucky to catch the hint
From your head who's doing a spin
Too much per second it's real
Don't miss too much you're feeling
If it's not in your hands to choose
Your pacing and let it decide
When you're forcing another hour
In a place in a limbo
Don't try to run
Fuck up yourself and have it done
If it's not yourself it's fine
You were planning to cross that line
Don't try to run
Fuck up yourself and have it done
If it's not yourself it's fine
You were planning to cross that line

Do you smell better now
Do you struggle to tell the letter now
You never wrote but thought of how
You wouldn't notice the decay of my youth
Do you smell better now
Do you care for how it's up to you
To think of how I'd stick around and never grow
Up to change my thoughts and arrange how I relate to you
To put in context your affections
All the time rebooted in the long-term
Perspective
To put in context your affections
All the time rebooted in the long-term
Perspective
Would you let me in
It's even more important than to stick around
Would it be a sin
Just to wants someone for a while
The moment counts
It's not just about the future
Would you let me in if you're willing to stick around
I couldn't feel good about it but i can't help it so it's up to you
you can leave when you want
When you've had enough and you'll have enough at some point
To put in context your affections
All the time rebooted in the long-term
Perspective
To put in context your affections
All the time rebooted in the long-term
Perspective
To put in context your affections
All the time rebooted in the long-term
Perspective
To put in context your affections
All the time rebooted in the long-term

For Us To Try

All forgotten but I got to remember myself
It all seems rotten but I dare to try again
As long as it takes to not become someone else
That is un-relatable to just yourself
I wish I wouldn't act like a ghost but I don't wanna hurt
But it's just too far
A strive
Denial has to shield the conscious
In order for us to try
What is pleasing but doesn't hurt anyone else
In the longrun it's the same game you never get used to play
Don't destroy the things you're not okay to be without
Just make sure you'll never say that out loud
I wish I wouldn't act like a ghost but I don't wanna hurt
But it's just too far
A strive
Denial has to shield the conscious
In order for us to try
I wish I wouldn't act like a ghost but I don't wanna hurt
But it's just too far
A strive
Denial has to shield the conscious
In order for us to try

What was i supposed to give to you
Weren't you exposed just the next day
You were parting ways with aiming
Towards a better you
Now it's boring
To make an attempt to feel your pain
And feel what's never meant to feel from you
I was parting ways with faking
It was tempting to make another attempt
Never meant to come this far
Never meant to come this far
Don't try to make amends
You're way too far away
And don't start parting ways with faking
It's way too tempting to give up
But it's never meant to come this far
But it's never meant to come this far
But it's never meant to come this far
But it's never meant to come this far

Communication's a start
Communication's a start
Don't have to worry about it so hard
It's way easier then being smart
Intoxication's a start
Intoxication's a start
To kill the worries that are so hard
Fill in the blanks with confidence
Another moment to catch
And it feels like a perfect match
To bring it home to you
Don't have to be so lonely if you
Can catch another glimpse
Into the corners you don't wanna flinch
It would give yourself away
For the people you don't wanna wait for
Realization's so hard
Realization's so hard
That you're not really far
Away from going further
Down just to be found
Cornered and not being aloud
To express yourself in sound
No reason's left to be loud
Another moment to catch
And it feels like a perfect match
To bring it home to you
Don't have to be so lonely if you
Can catch another glimpse
Into the corners you don't wanna flinch
It would give yourself away
For the people you don't wanna wait for
Another moment to catch
And it feels like a perfect match
To bring it home to you
Don't have to be so lonely if you
Can catch another glimpse
Into the corners you don't wanna flinch
It would give yourself away
For the people you don't wanna wait for

Behind The Erase

Reason's for us to stay
For treason it's not too late
A season to be aware
Of who is willing to dare
To give you a shot to stare
Into a corner that isn't there
For other people to gaze
Upon and willing to face
The meaning behind that maze
To prevent the feels that are to erase
The meaning behind that maze
To prevent the feels that are to erase
Consequences that are to erase
From the page you're currently in
The cage that keeps you in-
-side and makes you extra thin
Any condolences aren't enough
To help you bear everything rough
It's not the meaning behind it that's tough
Too tough to keep you in check
And understand the meaning behind that maze
To prevent the feels that are to erase
And understand the meaning behind that maze
To prevent the feels that are to erase
And stand the meaning behind that maze
To prevent the feels that are to erase
And stand the meaning behind that maze
To prevent the feels that are to erase

Human Warmth

When you're not allowed to fuse
Your personal feelings with your youth
It's not about being your own muse
And don't feel to tempted by it's use
Out there there's a lot to loose
If you're denying the constant flow of news
The point of views you all outgrew
Not together as a team and new
It''s over for that kind of satisfaction
It's over, too many doubts about attraction
When it's not about how much you loose
When your other side gets loose
Too honest with yourself and too concerned
With your imaginary reputation
Destroyed but it was never there
It's hard to believe when feelings dare
To give you the impression you're just there
To self-destruct and just don't care
It's over for that kind of satisfaction
It's over, too many doubts about attraction
It's over for that kind of satisfaction
It's over, too many doubts about attraction
It's over for that kind of satisfaction
It's over, too many doubts about attraction
It's over for that kind of satisfaction
It's over, too many doubts about attraction

She's still fond of noticing the details
About your fondness of attention to detail
Don't be scared of what she's pretending
To be in her sleep whilst no one's watching
Writing it down will change the sound
You perceive whilst you're drowning and no one's around
To save yourself is what you'll do
To be yourself is what to pursue
She's still trying to change the details
About you minding the lack of attention
Don't be scared of what you're pretending
To be when you're out there whilst everyone's watching
Writing it down will change the sound
You perceive whilst you're drowning and no one's around
To save yourself is what you'll do
To be yourself is what to pursue
