Trying to be on my own so I can talk on the phone to you Never sitting by myself. With so much noise I never felt the blues break through. It never made me feel like you. Please don't leave me all alone, giving me the gold to build my throne. Its never known. Your were saying not much else but you could never feel me go to hell... Oh well, I never was expecting too much else. Don't try to feel me by predicting what you'd feel. Sympathy wont help me. I'll try to let you know when something's real. I'll try to let you know when I can feel.

All my brothers, all five of us are rolling round the world like scattered stones. All my sisters from different misters make up the life I thought I'd never know When my mind just runs away... Breathe in slowly. You think you know me but you a just a piece of me to die. I could never live forever if I was like the world and all its lies. When our minds are far away... We'll feel it shine. We'll make the shitty things on through to better times. We'll smash it down, staring at a wall we have no problem turning round.

You And I 02:36
You and I travelling on different hands of time You and me, at least we've got some eye and eye to see You and him and him, you grew up through thick and thin Me and her and her forever trying to make things work We will get through the heat of the summer We wont break Close your eyes. I was never one to dream I'd fly You and I, always sure that we'll see eye to eye Where am I now?

I was thinking about the way we were back then Do you think that we still call each other friends when we've taken different paths with different ends? I was always trying to keep my head down, just get on and hope that you don't see me frown, but instead I'm burning up and round and round. Steal some friendship for somewhere to be. It never could be me. I was taken by the way you looked at me. We were both so bound not knowing what is free. Now there's something deep that's got a hold on me.
5.
People 03:14
You say it all. I don't say enough. Who could conceive that life is this tough. People. I don't believe the words people say. You wont believe the games that they play. Scary people. As a child I was taught by people called believers not to believe in people. I see a child and what it can be, and where we go wrong in this awful machine of people. Selfish people.
