Ethics 101 04:18
You will deny it, but you're so sick and immature You fall in love and then you change your mind You poison all that is good and pure You will burn all that's true and good You will burn me, oh yes And you'll never look back You're so blind and cruel To Beauty and Truth And yet you like to think of yourself As a philosopher Your mind is a cage You're trapped inside your child's play You're so blind and cruel To Beauty and Truth Your mind is a cage But I'm free and beautiful But I am true, beautiful Forever and more

I don't know for how long I'll look this young You took my love and all my hopes, they made me strong I don't know anymore who I am All I see is skin and bones, I'm almost gone I try my best, one last effort I try to dream but everything feels a lie I'm almost gone Your face slowly fades I still feel you kissing my hands while I was asleep Waking up to the smell of your hair and breath Apple pies, blueberries and pancakes I try my best, I try to dream But all feels so unreal Without you

I gotta quit I gotta stop I gotta let you go I never did I know you wanted this for a long time I know your heart can't stand to have me close I gotta go I gotta scream I gotta bleed I gotta heal myself I gotta go Away from you I'm a ghost You know you can't see who I am I gotta quit, stop, leave, go I gotta keep what's left of me Maybe I'll run Or maybe I'll fly away Back to where I belong

I run across the icy rain I sing out loud your name But nothing seems to ease the pain Once it worked, I became real You touched my skin and held me tight But now I'm soaked in cold But now I'm cold and alone I only know one way to love This way is forever, dear Do you want me to change the way I feel? There's only a way I know A way to live, a way to love I drew myself a big blue sky One where I could dream and fly One to shelter you from the evil Of this world There's only a way I know to live It's the same way I do love A way forever I run across the icy rain I'd do it a million times again Sing out loud your name and wait for you

If you could see her with my eyes And feel her with my skin You'd be changed forever You'd be a different man A man like me, yes If you could love her with my heart And hold her with my arms Her light would be brighter Yours wouldn't dim Everything in its right place So if you ever meet her Make love to her the way I would Be rough, be sweet, be gentle Comb her hair with your hands Oh, she loves that thing You'll love to love her You'll never be able to let her go You'll never be able to forget her So if you ever meet her Please, make love to her the way I would Oh... if only I could

Cocoon 04:24
Wrapped in my cocoon I cry myself to sleep Every day's the same It's so cold in here I don't wanna be alone Floating in the dark I love you so much I will always do Beautiful cocoon Shaped like a star We used to live in here Cozy and unharmed Wrapped in my cocoon You are all I see You are all I feel Now it's cold in here It's cold

"I can't recall how it was to have hopes, to be liked by someone, to be loved, and I don't think I like myself anymore. But that would be the cheap answer. We don't even like ourselves and still we try so hard to find people to like, and we try so hard to be liked by others. It's all about synapses, chance, emotions. All mixed up. It's like random machinery. So, let me tell you, that is not love. That is not the thing that fuels my life and my thought. It doesn't fuel my reason, it doesn't fuel the way I fuck or the way I hate because that's not real. But we, we were real. We knew who we were, we knew what we were looking for. You and this guy? That's not real. He's just playing make-believe, just like you do. He thinks of himself as some intellectual, some creator, some insightful man, but he isn't. He's just trying too hard to be what he will never be, and maybe you're doing the same thing. Therefore... Perhaps I never loved you. But something in me tells me I really did. I loved you. And I still do. And there's a part of you which still does."
