I can get no sleep no more again, I up and down my sky will always bend, sky until I get the moves alright again, I back and forth until I understand, understand that you’re so heavy on my heart you’re so heavy on my heart you’re so heavy on my heart right around this hour I think again, I wonder if there still is any pain, pain that stayed inside you, stayed so quietly, quietly and if myself could now give you relief, relief cause you’re so heavy on my heart you’re so heavy on my heart you’re so heavy on my heart...

Way To Mars 03:31
sun, go down, behind the treetops you are on your way to mars, my bear, oh send me postcards of ships in the air the lights go out, no shadow theater you have found your way to mars, my bear, might see you there some day when my mind isn’t as square, square send me a sign when meteor showers are on their way to earth I’ll run outside, I’ll run outside oh, what that sight is worth! moon, don’t frown behind the window have you settled down on mars, my bear, and have you made any friends with the locals? lost without no stars to guide me I might be on my own way to mars or is my car taking me somewhere else far, far? I think I see the meteor showers they’re on their way to earth I surge through layers of sky and does it feel just like rebirth!

Canvas 04:56
closed your heart closed your heart to the fire that mould us into art let me in, let me in to see if my paint has washed or left a mark warm colours dripping on the canvas I will never play those records watered down, watered down the shades that I had made myself to drown starved your soul, starved your soul thinking thoughts that never were your own warm colours dripping on the canvas I will never play those records warm colours dripping on the canvas I will never play those records I swear, at least until I’m back where I started from I swear, unless I find you trapped in the maze you built for my mind

Blind 04:04
can’t find a reason why I cared and held on to a single thread simple minded, I can’t hide the feeling of humiliation (I can’t hide) I overlooked it all and tried you never listen so it went by better to break than do nothing with a bleeding heart heart, break it my heart take your lies and tell them to the mirror I’ve had enough of being a forgiver when i say goodbye it is forever I must have fallen and hit my head your ego’s bigger than your bed I can’t believe I thought that I needed you (I can’t believe that I) and even though my eyes are wet I’ve done all I can to forget I don’t suffer anymore no, no take your lies and tell them to the mirror I’ve had enough of being a forgiver when I say goodbye it is forever I know you’re fine I’m the one who’s blind so take your flowers and throw them into the river I’ve had enough of being your lover when I say goodbye, when I say goodbye bye bye, you’ll be fine I am the one who’s blind

Scared 05:52
plastic and wood melted together when your eyes turned to face mine stared cause we could, I waited ‘til you fell asleep by my side I was intrigued, I felt the tides couldn’t help but lose my mind why oh why did you ever try d’you think I’m a scared little girl scared don’t know my worth don’t understand the world scared little girl you took the words right off of my tongue you were all I wanted pretended I’m blind to all that you hide but my thoughts were so haunted by you all the time I gave myself for you to read you skimmed me through, said there’s no need you decided it’s my place to be a scared little girl scared don’t know my worth don’t understand the world scared little girl and when I hit my low it seemed you were high I must have made you tired from the corner of your eye you watch her every move I cry, I cry and where’s the guilt you feel the conflict in you? you turn all my tears blue so why on why did you ever try with a scared little girl scared don’t know my worth don’t understand the world scared little girl
