Leaving Earth behind,
Floating satellites.
Dance on Saturn's rings.
I don't fear a thing.
Leaving Earth behind,
Peaceful state of mind.
You and I are stars
Shining from afar.
Falling back to Earth.
Fiery rebirth.
It is time to wake.
Take my hand and face the day.

crashing down

I wake up late 'cause I can't sleep at night
'Cause all of these thoughts give me such a fright.
Every day just echoes night.
Sometimes I don't feel alive.
It's a bad habit to always fear the worst,
But I feel it in the air and in the dirt.
My sullen behavior keeps me isolated.
I don't even realize that I'm irritated.
Lately I've been freaking out
Because it feels like the world is crashing down,
Crashing down.
(x2)
I try to stay occupied,
But that only works for a limited time,
Then I see on the TV
The same things that are killing me.
I'm looking all over for help,
But it seems that I'm all by myself,
And maybe this isn't true,
But I can't help feeling blue.
Lately I've been freaking out
Because it feels like the world is crashing down,
Crashing down.
(x2)
Lately I've been freaking out
Because it feels like the world is crashing down,
Crashing down.

I always considered myself to be straight edge,
So why do I find myself a drunken mess?
And I'm not even drunk enough to forget
The fool you made of me in front of all my friends.
You are the reason I don't like to go out.
People like you fill me with so much self-doubt,
So I'll just stay in by myself tonight.
I don't know what I'll do, but I think I'll be alright.
And I'm not even what you'd call an introvert,
But I'm not gonna go out if I just get hurt.
So if you'll excuse me, I'm just going to bed,
And I'll be hanging out with people in my head.
You are the reason I don't like to go out.
People like you fill me with so much self-doubt,
So I'll just stay in by myself tonight.
I don't know what I'll do, but I think I'll be alright.

A Tuesday night in June.
The sun is setting soon.
Standing beside the waves,
There's nothing much to say,
No, there's nothing much to say.
Our friends are out at sea,
So it's just you and me.
Stars are starting to shine,
I see them in your eyes.
I also see something else,
Something bright but alone,
And I say to myself,
"I will make this your home
Your home
Your home
Your home
Your home
Your home
Your home
Your home."

summer of love

This summer, everybody's falling in love,
And I thought that I was a lucky one,
But it turns out that I was wrong.
I spoke too soon, and now you're gone.
The summer of love turns into the fall of despair.
I thought I was safe, but then you took me there.
The summer of love turns into the winter of hate.
I thought I was free, but you caught me at the gate.
This summer, everyone's falling in love,
And I thought that I was a lucky one,
But it turns out I was a fool
And you left me, how could fate be so cruel?
The summer of love turns into the fall of despair.
I thought I was safe, but then you took me there.
The summer of love turns into the winter of hate.
I thought I was free, but you caught me at the gate.
The summer of love turns into the fall of despair.
I thought I was safe, but then you took me there.
The summer of love turns into the winter of hate.
I thought I was free, but you caught me at the gate.

golden

I sit alone on the hilltop,
The sun shining golden amongst the trees,
And I feel a strange sense of stillness
Slowly start to take control of me.
I get away from all the voices
Of the people who will never learn,
The people who've left me forsaken.
I wonder if I should ever return.
Should I return?
Should I return?
Should I return?
I sit for a moment in silence
As I try to empty my crowded mind.
I have to decide what's important
And what I should probably leave behind.
I try to forget all the voices
Of the friends who I know were never true,
But most pressing out of all of them,
I try my best to forget about you.
Forget about you.
Forget about you.
Forget about you.

adrift

I've taken these steps, but I don't know if it's what I want.
Is this the direction I wish to take, or are my answers wrong?
And the more I look at the horizon, the more I realize how much time is gone.
I don't know if these choices I make are my own.
Do I have what it takes to stay afloat?
I'm adrift on a sinking boat.
I sit and think about it as the sun sets in the sky.
I'm still in my room as night comes round, but I still do not know why.
And as I look at the horizon, all I see is blue water and sky.
I don't know if these choices I make are my own.
Do I have what it takes to stay afloat?
I'm adrift on a sinking boat.
I don't know if these choices I make are my own.
Do I have what it takes to stay afloat?
I'm adrift on a sinking boat.
