Ricochet
Have the target in sight
Not prepared for a fight
They’re just standing there
Like a bullet through the air
They’ll be struck in the chest
Knocked out their breath
But they ricochet,
Ricochet
They’ve got it the same
Exactly your way
Take minds think alike
Both are right
You and them can’t deny
Or you just might die
Not even a dent
The bullet’s gone and went
Right back at you
They never thought it through
Have the target in sight
Not prepared for a fight
Like a bullet through the air
They ricochet without a tear
Attempted surrender
Let yourself fall back
Let it fall back
Let it fall back
Attempted surrender
Another pretender
Can’t show what they know
You can’t let it go
Not like I should anyway
Not like you could someday
It’s begging me to let be
But I can’t feel the need
To break this chain
Like I want to remain
In the darkness
I feel safe,
I feel safe
I, feel
Fall back
I want you to fall back
Attempted surrender
Attempted surrender
I can’t,
I should anyway!
Sing out your lungs!
Take it as a last breath
And my heart’s hung
Love is under cover
Don’t make me smother
Myself in these ropes
Again, feed my hopes!
Let yourself fall back
Let it fall back
Let it fall back
Fall back,
Now, fall back now
Into the arms of joy
Let it fall back,
Now, fall back now,
Let me tell you how!
I just want to give in
I know you want to forgive
I know they won’t do a thing!
Fall back
surrender
Freeze
I’ve got you right there
Keep your hands in the air
Don’t move a single muscle
Or It’ll get you in trouble
Freeze,
And just please
Don’t think about it
The future isn’t in
Oh my God, you’re wasting
All this time on tasting
What can get you expecting
What you want to happen
We need to relax through
I don’t know about you
But I can’t do
All this worrying
Let’s do some burying
Oh my God, you’re wasting
All this time on tasting
What can get you expecting
What you want to happen
You’ll just have to stop it
And see what happens
Still caught in the air
And without a care
That’s how it should be
Grinning like a kid
Wait for it to begin
Bite the bullet
Slammed the door on my face
Didn’t even let myself in
How rude could that get?
And I’ve been mistaken
Teeth are aching,
My mind is taking
It all in
And now I’ll bite the bullet
Even if it takes too long
I know my bones will get strong
When they break the stronger they
Will be back another day
It’s not like I know everything
You don’t either, admit it
One day this will change
And it won’t be late
So don’t keep on waiting
Cause when you’re taking
A small break from the chaos
You’ll end up, messed up!
Teeth are aching,
My mind is taking
It all in
And now I’ll bite the bullet
Don’t let it make you feel
Like you’ll die right here
Let it break you
So you can become anew
Teeth are aching
And now,
I’ll bite the bullet!
Miss you
I thought I worried too
But it seems that’s all you do
How could I not believe
You’re important to me
And now, I face myself
I let the lies melt
Cause, I miss you
Oh, I miss you
Do you too?
Cause, I miss you
every time eyes met
I just wanted to regret
Ignored the love
That I tried to forget
I, can’t take this separation
You, look in desperation
All I have left to say,
All I have left to say is
I face myself
I let the lies melt
Cause, I miss you
Oh, I miss you
Do you too?
Cause, I miss you
Yes, I miss you
Will you let me through?
I miss you
And I don’t want to,
Miss you.
Impressed
Rushing by my head
The feelings embed
me with shock
Begun to turn the lock
I’m much less stressed
More like impressed
Love, I need you
Joy, I get through
Pain, I laugh at you
Now, it’s just another miracle
Today, it’s inseparable
I’ve been learning
Life’s been searching
Let my heart pound
I want to be wound
And let me insist to sing
Find what I’ve been missing
So, much more
Than I expected
I, feel reinvented
How could I have known,
If I’d break to the bones
I’d grow back more strong
It’s been there all along!
I’m much less stressed
More like impressed
Love, I need you
More like impressed
Joy, I get through
More like impressed
Pain, I laugh at you
Traumatized
It was right there,
It was right there
It was right there!
My nights, I lie awake
My days I spend with a blade
She, never smiled that way
I found her light dimmed
He, never found a place
And all could die grace
Traumatized
I never realized
How much it hurt me
to rip the pages of their diary
All I could do was wait
And pray they wouldn’t break
They heard the screams
And knew how it means
To feel a part of you die
But in our life
We seem to, move on
We want to, move on
We want to!
I keep repeating
My heart’s beating
I keep repeating
I just want to scream!
They should just believe
And not crash anymore!
Stop it, just stop it!
It was right there,
It was right there
It was right there!
my nights, I lie awake
My days I spend with a blade
She, never smiled that way
I found her light dimmed
He, never found a place
And all could die grace
Traumatized
I never realized
How much it hurt me
to rip the pages of their diary
All I could do was wait
And pray they wouldn’t break
Wherefore are you sweet?
Here is her Romeo,
Wherefore are you sweet?
Their worlds have clashed
Along with the chivalry
Oh, they don’t notice
These two blinded lovers
Whispering their doubts
This isn’t said to each other
Maybe they will be sealed
In all their good intentions
One day they’ll speak
And fate will hate their separations
Torn flower from stem
Miscommunications spread
They’d try, but be pushed away
They feel as good as dead
Here is her Romeo,
Wherefore are you sweet?
Their worlds have clashed
Along with the chivalry
Oh, they don’t notice
These two blinded lovers
Whispering their doubts
This isn’t said to each other
Hide and Seek
Let me count as fast as I can
Don’t run away before I get
Close enough to hear you
As soon as I reach two
Play with me
Hide and seek
Oh, I can see you
Silly boy, you gave a clue
Silly girl, not giving a redo
I always find you, ace
In the exact same place
Almost half the time
You never really hide
It’s really funny
How you play hide and seek
Don’t even know the rules
Lucky you don’t look like a fool
You’re just too adorable
Little brother, inseparable
What, you want to play again?
But this is the millionth time
And I’m really tired of this game
How about another day?
Okay!
Username
Just one click
That’s all it takes
In an instant
That’s the way
Replaced by a username
Voices have lost their meaning
We’re slowly failing
It’s easier, it’s faster
That’s what we keep boasting
The message lasts longer
Shouldn’t it be less exposing?
Control, ALT, delete
Begun a double life
Nothing is as it seems
We think we’re online!
When we’ve cut it
Acting like we never would
Almost as if non human
Don’t tell me how they react
Would you have said,
The text you had sent?
Yes, this is something
Which is a breakthrough
But we can’t keep abusing,
The way we use the connection
Replaced by a username
Voices have lost their meaning
Can’t press backspace,
On your voice now, can you?
We’re slowly failing
Isn’t it Obvious?
Made it more obvious
Put one hundred and ten percent
Don’t tell me it’s ludicrous
This is all the time I’ve spent
Laugh darling, make it like your last breath
Love sweetheart, be it like your first step
Doesn’t matter how many times I fall
Just gives me another opportunity
To show you how I pity the call
The call of defeat that I deafen definitely
Isn’t it obvious?
Last time I was dying
This time I seem oblivious
To the pain that taunts me
It’s nothing, nothing
Don’t tell me you believed what was wrong
well, it’s human nature to keep breaking
It’s when we keep going that makes us strong
Smile honey, bring the sun to your eyes
Give people, see our joy inside
I assure you I’ll break the chain
Cause now I know I can keep going
now I’ll welcome the change
The change I kept ignoring, exactly
Isn’t it obvious?
Today I’m thriving
Tomorrow I won’t be oblivious
To the importance of living
