Lyrics

they look so good     they must feel well     i’m not so sure i can say the same:     a bit too fat     not enough hair     they look so good     i am a mess. the gods are here     they just look swell     they’re never old     they don’t even sweat     i’m not as cool,     i was born old     what can i do to be like them? i try to smoke     to lose some weight     buy some new clothes     to look like them     i try to think     to find some way     my mind just aches,     my mind is dead. not hip enough     i just feel shame     it doesn’t work     the pain’s still here.     i cannot live and feel this way     i cannot live!     oh, what a waste! hey, doctor, listen here     i don’t seem to be able to face my own life     come on now, i need some pills     to help me keep my breath and stop my sighs     they are looking at me     from magazine covers and TV screens     doc, i really need some pills     to overcome confusion and be free! now i feel new     i smile again     feeling complete at day break     i have my pills     i couldn’t care less     i have my pills     my pills are sex! i am a god!     i am the best!     now i feel goo, don’t feel regret     here i stand tall,     here i attest:     my pills are life     my pills are great!

Lyrics

i feel i’m losing strength     my body couldn’t stand without a helping hand     i’m stuck half conscious where i lay. i’m losing faith these days     reality seems strained and lost into a dream     that seems so very far away. stop your worrying voice from striking me with poison darts     can we talk about it later?     now i need you to come rushing back. i’m losing touch with myself     my body feels like slipping into a distance     whence there’s no coming back. stop your whispering voice from lecturing me about my idleness     can’t you see i’m not myself?     i really need you to come rushing back, and tend to me     no matter what the hell you think i’ve done     tend to me     i might look safe but i’m not whole nor in control     tend to me     i’m missing any reason not to let things go     tend to me     i need your healing cares     now!

Lyrics

he came out from the woods last night     the man now drinking at the pub     they say he’s my brother who has returned     but that’s not me, that can’t be right     he has the keys to my brother’s house     he’s wearing my brother’s fine blue coat     he told everyone he got lost     lost in the woods like a little mouse. but i left him there in silence     i left him there his face all red     i left him there in the dark     i walked away and didn’t look back.
he looked like him even to his wife     who cried for him well into her nights     he talks the same fooling everyone     but no, not me, i don’t trust my eyes. ‘cause i left him there in silence     deep in the woods his face all red     i left him there like sleeping     his face all red – i simply walked away. oh, how they laughed, they all laughed at me     when i proposed i could hunt the beast     that came from the woods where monsters sleep     to plague our land and to taint our dreams     oh, how they laughed until he stood tall     “i will join my brother if you all allow”     then all the sneers turned into cheers     my brother, the hero, they could really trust him. we entered the woods and there we got lost     we stepped across a stream, the hours passed     then we found a glare, a deep hole in the ground     and the beast jumped out, bloodthirsty, ferocious. i ran and hid to save my life     my brother shot, the beast fell down     once again, he had saved the day     once again, i felt ashamed     and even though he couldn’t tell     deep inside i felt a strange rage. i left the corpse in the hole in the ground     i cleaned his blood off my old clothes     then i left and found my way back     i told them the beast had killed my brother. but he came out from the woods last night     i will be damned, that can’t be right     they say my brother was saved somehow     that’s not true, i can’t believe my eyes     i don’t feel safe when the sun goes down     that man is roaming our streets at night     his face taints my dreams somehow     i must escape or i’ll lose my mind. ’cause i left him there in silence     his bloody dead, his face all red     his lifeless corpse like sleeping     into that hole i left it before i fled     yes, i left him there in silence     laying underground his face all red!     yes, i left him there as i fled     i left him dead     his face was all red!

Lyrics

it ain’t been easy     but i’m here once again     hitting the outside world     with the fools and the girls     that alleviate my pain today     a placebo gone astray.      it ain’t been easy     but i’m trying hard again     crawling out in vain     just to feel cold and restrained     my smiles, my lies, my carelessness. yes, i’m bleeding from my mouth     and my head is a big mess     i claim that i’m alright     but my words are meaningless. i have lost my faith     i have lost my place in here     there’s no sign on my face of the life i’ve thrown away     of the chances that i had. yes, i’m bleeding from my mouth     and my head is a big mess     well, i claim i am alright     but my words are meaningless. i fake it like i’m used with everything     to convince myself it’s all good:     these unfulfilled desires, this emptiness,     perhaps they will go away. it ain’t been easy     but i’m here once again     hitting the outside world     with the fools and the girls     that alleviate my pain today     a placebo gone astray.

Lyrics

i went to see the gypsy     when darkness fell outside her tent     i went to see the gypsy     about the troubled nights i had. i gave her my money     every penny i had left     i sat down beside her     my future in her hands. i went to see the gypsy     when candles lit up in her tent     i went to see the gypsy     to tell her of my nightmares. i was weary of my visions     sleeping was a concern     i couldn’t even close my eyes     i thought i was going mad. she took her head looking at my hand     she took her cards and slowly went through them     “my dear young man, you’ve been cursed” she said     “i’m your only hope, trust in me, i’m your friend.” “take off your shoes, take off your clothes     stand on your feet, shake up and dance     lift up your soul with no regrets     live for the day, wake up and sing!” i went to see the gypsy     when darkness fell outside her tent     i went to see the gypsy     about the troubled nights i had. i gave her my money     every penny i had left     i sat down beside her     my future in her hands. i went to see the gypsy     when candles lit up in her tent     i went to see the gypsy     to tell her of my nightmares. i was weary of my visions     sleeping was a concern     i couldn’t even close my eyes     i thought i was going mad. she took her head looking at my hand     she took her cards and slowly went through them     “my dear young man, you’ve been cursed” she said     “i’m your only hope, trust in me, i’m your friend.” “take off your shoes, take off your clothes     stand on your feet, shake up and dance     lift up your soul with no regrets     live for the day, wake up and sing!”
