Slow down your dreams for me
As I will always be a little late and I guess
It’s due to the damage, that everyone’s been through
who is past the age of 25
and that means you and me
we’re in the same club
work each day, and worry every night
Had our backs against the wall
when every weekend took its toll
With our backs against the wall
Give me a sign, send me a signal once in an while
to make me sure again that this is right and not denial
Sometimes I wish I’d never lived through this but then
I caught myself dreaming for them better times ahead
It’s been a long year, not longing for you
with voices in my head, in my head
You said it’s strange that all these things have change
well I carry the same thoughts in my head
And in my sleep, you died so sweet
When I woke up finally you were dead to me
We chose to ignore it
We chose to ignore it
We have never changed
We have never changed

We drove this car into the wall
let’s face it, it’s a fact now after all
But no offense, giving hugs is hard
with your handcuffs on
There was this time I can’t forget
When you would come to visit me
those moments when I felt incomplete
You came to see the good side of the city
but you left me with a smile of pity
for what I have become
Maybe you were right
I might have forged you chains
to keep this all together
So you’ve turned the page
but brought us back to the start
with a plot twist like this
you may consider it art
but I’ve got some pens
in my drawer as well
and I won’t sleep tonight
Well I don’t stick to past events
I don’t care if there is someone else
For once, there’s a world outside my door
And if you fail now, if you break
whatever since you’ve pulled away
It’s a lesson to be learned
but there’re lessons that
you couldn’t learn from me
You were the first to know
this will end in disaster, won’t it?
You want it
What could I say?
Fuck no, you weren’t right
I might have forged you chains
to keep this all together
But I saved you from yourself
Bit by bit, for a thousand days

Don’t point your finger at me
I’ll be the last to chain you here
But it’s true I’m no supporter
of your plans, your ideas
I’m too tired to pour out myself to you this time
Been wide awake at night sometimes
You’re making me nervous, keeping me restless
It’s south, south you go
But it’s down, down for me
It’s hard to see you leave
And every time you packed your care
To make progress defining who you are
I’m doing the best I can
Trying not to lose track of you once again
A thousand words I used to say
You’ve neatly tucked away
And with a smile that’s on your face,
While I’m pondering, I’m pondering on the right way
You’ve made your point, I disagree
But youth is running out for you and me
And to live through precious moment
You’ll keep me restless
It’s north, north you go
But it’s down, down for me
It’s hard to see you leave
And every time you packed your care
To make progress defining who you are
I’m doing the best I can
Trying not to lose track of you once again
Roads, we’re making huge steps down the road
to Suburbia, where love comes with conditions,
with conditions
Price, what’s the price, to leave Suburbia behind,
Oh my love come with conditions,
I’ll try to keep you in my mind

There is my hand, take it or leave it
all decisions feel way harder than before
While days go by they bring constant disagreement
I just don’t feel like it, anymore
When I picture your face, It’s all blank pages
somewhere along the way we lost anything
to work, to sleep, to drinks and every reason to digress
out of breath out of luck
I guess we’ll never make it back
I’m about to lose all I had as a young man
but tonight I drink to to youth
With a fading smile from this illusion taking steps
to disillusion but not too far
And I wonder are you still out there
Asking questions you’ll never hear
I know you are ‘cause not paying attention
Won’t make them dissappear

Where’s the colour in this?
you’ve watched everything fall apart
Say anything, say anything
You’re using silence as a weapon
while you used to scream in a voice
that would hurt my ears
Quietness, anything is gone
I’m suffering
for this night won’t end with dawn
I lost my faith in renaissance of this
as you turned an empty face away
tearing down the walls you’ve built
for attention on any day
if this is now, what will the future hold?
We both are caught up in the same boat
you’re the captain deaf and dumb
slowly losing control
instead of aiming for the safe port
that’s plain in sight
you’ll guide us into the open sea
Silence, anything is gone
lungs in collapse
screaming for the dawn
You may take those reasons to your grave
but I won’t take this to mine
say stupid words about what’s the harm now
in telling lies
