this welcoming ghost won't say what he knows
the eyes of our lovers won't help us to move
the weight of the the earth that burdened our fathers
that they passed on to us
I didn't see us feeding the masses
with just our good luck
our memorized prayers, songs on repeat
no hail marias, just keep breathing deep
this exiting train of thoughts in a daze
to the sunset we go,
forget what we know
it's the ends of the earth, the edge of the ground
we had to be lost
to know what we found:
the old fading out,
while we caved in
now is the time
I said what you said exact and in key
"coincide with yourself, sell yourself to the deep"
this is just a rerun, it will happen again
I hope you will know what is best
now is the time

spoiled heirs and violent brutes
there are ancients in this house
stolen glances are your favorite place to be
this soul is terrified
this book cannot be read for longer
these eyes are terrified
this book cannot be read for longer
this text is simply fleeting and old
if beauty's in the eye of the beholder,
what's left to behold?
Am I at the mercy of those who find
the beauty in me?

When I hang ten,
I lie all the time
When you make you friends,
I die inside
Well I'm safe, safe as the sound,
the life of the party (is it here?)
how I know
It takes me too long
to get there on my own
Well I'm safe, safe as the sound
the life of your party ( is it me?)
how I know
I won't get there
without your help
I'm safe, safe as the sound,
yes I'm safe - safe as the sound
