50000 unsurfable waves in the sea
8 impossible versions of your life with me
1 crushing realization of all I won't be
14 lines to uncover the reasons you turned away from me
7 saints do they know how to swim let 'em drown in their belief
every morning an ache in an anxiety
wait it out take it in shake it off let it be
how much absence of me you accept socially
14 lines that she won't understand cause she turned away from me
7 saints do they know how to swim let 'em drown in their belief
and the light that you shone in my eye left a mark I still can't see
wait it out take it in shake it off oh I just can't let it be

Impossible Fear

the impossible fear of letting go
is still here don't know where to let it go
understand all that leaving leads you home
the sunshine on all losers that have forgotten to feel again
sunlight lighting up your fears
the unstoppable need of hanging on
is still there though stretched out from being worn
do believe in your make-up all along
the moonshine on all changing us into the wolves of fun again
the moonlight over all of us
it's all in your mind
no belief and they'll lead you on
you still don't know the rules
the sunshine on all losers that have forgotten to be again
sunlight over all of us
don't lose another one of those again
don't doubt her eyes again
don't lose another one of you again
don't lose your mind again
now lose your heart again
don't lose your mind

Try to understand your games
Actions no control
No state of mind for little girls
Players can't be tamed
Surrounded by lights on your own
Know that where you want to be
The crops are growing old
The smile on your face that you've sold
It's in his memory
Now he's alone and
Biding your time isn't a sin when
You've got something to do
And no one takes you for a fool
Have a drink share a smile
You wake up meet Mr. Conscience again
So if you want to live this scene
Please feel free to join
But don't think that he will come
He waits patiently
Surrounded by space on his own

Hey That's No Way

Hey that's no way to begin a song
Wait did you say I'll end up alone
Stay there's a message after the tone
Exes to exes and stardust returns to stone
I'll break all my answers in two for one
A big pile of questions divide into right and wrong
Hey if you help me it won't take long
Without you I'm stuck here for days weighing pros and cons
And the mantra in mind is a song
Repeat after me you're alone
Over and over and over it's over
Over and over again
And I don't want to know
Why the feeling had to go
Leave me alone
A die never thrown
Folded never shown
Silence after the tone
No one knows
Why it comes and then it goes
But a song is a song forever
