Look towards the sun, it's an endeavor
why blind myself when it's cooler indoors
Even if I changed, though probably never
the same root problems are abundantly sure
It's not giving up, it's intended function
forcing ideals does me no good
cherish any bliss that finds it's way in
my strikingly sober view of the world
I'm two years old and I'm bathed in sunlight
among the intricate web of events that will determine my life
as soon as you see what's exactly happening
twenty years are waving goodbye
Aspirations are high at the start of summer
This year's destined to be better you'll see
Even though I know, it's a futile effort
something has to stop the depression in me
It's not giving up, it's brutal realization
what influence you wield means nothing
cherry buds amiss, frame moral desolation
and a strikingly sober view of the world
[chorus]
nya nya nya nya nya nya
we look towards aging as a promised remedy
for things we've yet experienced but think we should achieve
as soon as you see what's exactly happening
twenty years are waving goodbye

I'm Your Ghost!

we skip the sunlight the sunshine, go straight into darkness
into your arms i will always fall
there is nothing that could stave my course
only our bodies age after all
if you stay around i'll be the wind
your resonating note in the summer din
on this you said you would never give up
I promise i'll haunt you for life
so you're intent on avoiding our mornings together
as if i don't hurt enough after all
well if you don't want me around
i'll end it all and become your ghost!
if you stay around i'll be the wind
the sickening heatstroke that makes your head spin
on this you said you would never give up
I promise i'll haunt you for life
yea!!!!!
longer days will breed more mistakes
above all you think i'm deranged
even though it's likely true
what i did i did for you
so don't you think that i'm forgetting
find the bliss in finally letting
go of notions you're alone
embrace the breeze that walks you home
if you stay around i'll be the wind
your resonating note in the summer din
on this you said you would never give up
I promise i'll haunt you for life

There's no justice to be had
in a life full of bad
decisions wrought entirely by me
I'm a beacon for hardship
I radiate and I dig
graves for those who believed in me
Up there in the clouds
I'll see you around
Half a heart waiting for me
It seems like all time
but on that day I'll be fine
I know you're out there waiting for me
As I do everyday
I wake up and make my way
to curse at the layer of Earth between me
and the bright vibrant warmth
so present before
it was foolishly given to me
[chorus]
my punishiment is meted out
by the thick opressive cloud
of miasma that hangs in the air
and what keeps me going
oh, what keeps me going
is in knowing not giving up I'll make you proud
[chorus]
Oh, children will sing songs
that decry my wrongs
because i was too foolish to see
a smile beyond, all mortal wrongs
desired my sanctuary
I know you'll be fine
it's just a short time
until our hearts are complete

Common sense says turn on the heater
A pragmatic heart says I should die
My blood is starting to bare a striking resemblance to the ice that's outside
They say there's no breaking, what's set in stone
But a million years, and a million winters could corrode us
How will we see when the snow holds up the windows?
How will we see when our angst blots out the sun?
Oh, I don't know
I'm only sure as lives go
We've failed
How will we see when the snow holds up the windows?
How will we see when our angst blots out the sun?
Oh, I don't know
I'm only sure as lives go
We've got to keep trying cause
Common sense says turn on the heater
A pragmatic heart says just let it die
Our love is starting to bare a striking resemblance to the ice that's outside
Oh can you hold the shrugging of a mountain?
Oh can you stop the sigh of the sea?
I know tempermental faults I shouldn't shrug
Confident ignorance will ruin me
So if she wants you don't try to resist
For her will alone, you exist
Try to hold the shrugging of a mountain
Try to swallow the sigh of the sea
But don't let her know you're resisting
Your hopes and dreams she'll bury

This Season I Die

Cherry buds are in bloom, springtime is upon us now
Cherry buds descend from the trees, as I contemplate my suicide
Holy voices sing to me, a melody I cannot forget
Now you find me
Now you find me
Now you find me again
Oh hey that's right if we give up on ourselves right now
Somehow living becomes easier to bare
Oh hey that's right, bet on our deaths this season
My music doesn't play in time
I'm okay with missing my bus, once again I don't care
I wake up at 8 o'clock, just in time to watch the TV
It's too late to eat the apple of wisdom that could've given me a chance
Hey now let's go
Yea now let's go
Let's go somewhere else
Oh hey that's right if we give up on ourselves right now
Somehow living becomes easier to bare
Oh hey that's right, bet on our suicides this season
My music doesn't play in time
I wanna die
Oh hey that's right if we give up on ourselves right now
Somehow living becomes easier to bare
Oh hey that's right, bet on my death this season
My music doesn't play in time
