All Our Time

I see you, I see you coming down,
We need to, we need to get out somehow
Are we running from ourselves?
You tried to, you tried to let me down
And you want to, but it won’t happen now
Is it all too late for us?
If you won’t let me in
Then how can we begin?
We’ve lost all our time
Is it on a dime?
Don’t say you’re sorry just to leave me in the cold
Don’t say don’t worry just to leave me in the fold
Cause nothing will ever change
If we leave things the same
If we lose, if we lose all that is ours
And we choose to stop and smell the flowers
Are we lying to ourselves?
I’ve got you, I’ve got you figured out
But you don’t, no you don’t know how
You don’t know how
If you won’t let me in
Then how can we begin?
We’ve lost all our time
Is it on a dime?
Don’t say you’re sorry just to leave me in the cold
Don’t say don’t worry just to leave me in the fold
Cause nothing will ever change
If we leave things the same
Cause nothing will ever change
If we leave things the same
Even if it stays the same,
I’ll be right here
Don’t say you’re sorry just to leave me in the cold

Glass Stained Eyes
05:03

I’ve been searching for eternity
For ways to satisfy my never-ending appetite
I thought that I’d never fall apart again
Oh how wrong was I to think that part of me would change
I told myself so that life would change for the better, I know
I told myself so
So why am I feeling the same
Glass stained eyes,
Broken up like an irreparable machine
I wish my world was really green
Glass stained eyes
The world keeps showing me the ugly side of reality
I wish my world was really green
I’ve been fighting for eternity
To shut the voices in my mind
To escape my demons deep inside
They say that i am never good enough again
And how wrong was i to think that part of me would change
I told myself so that life would change for the better, I know
I told myself so
So why am I feeling the same
Glass stained eyes,
Broken up like an irreparable machine
I wish my world was really green
Glass stained eyes,
Haunted by the very animal inside of me
I wish my world was really green

Slingshots and memories
They’re gone
They’re all gone
Them children cries as they fall asleep
They’re gone
They’re all gone
And who can save me?
This world amazes me
There were years in years before,
When i thought life was a bore
It was a chore
Smiling through the pain
And it was all in vain
Tears formed up like River Niles
They try to help us, give it all up now
But still I hide in the closet, keeping quiet
I see you hurting standing there,
I close my eyes and you’re not there
Yeah
Don’t cry as we say goodbye
You’ve tried but we turned a blind eye
I’m trapped inside
Who can save me now?
I’m crying inside
Who can save me now?

Would You Ever

Would you ever say goodbye to life?
Would you ever leave your life behind?
Do the things you wanna do since you’re 5?
When things were alright?
When things were alright?
Would you ever live a life that’s bright?
Would you rather have the time of your life?
To chase your own dreams
It’s not so far as it seems
Would you ever say,
that things turned out okay
When you turn old and grey?
Would you ever say,
that you lived a life of surprise
And ‘I’m happy to die’?
Oh, once more
Check your front door
Check your life more
So, once more
Check your life and more
Whatcha livin’ for?
Would you ever say goodbye to life?
Would you ever leave your life behind?
Do the things you wanna do since you’re 5?
When things were alright?
When things were alright?
Would you ever do the things you do?
Do the things of when you’re young, bold and true?
Would you rather have the time of your life?
Will things be alright?
Will things be alright?
