I've lost my sight I'm just blind behind wide opened eyes Now I'm just a ghost On the passenger seat. Let's write a story Of words we never meant to say As if I ever understood what you meant to me... Catch me! It's a story about suffer Tales of a former me I kneel before lines I've never heard Progress brought me here by chance. Basically I'm stuck between me and the I I never got to be Between us and the you you used to be. This is a failure of an autobiography. Could you find me, please? I always came to grief as I tried to clean the mess I've left It's this lie in believe to bring me down the higher I climb the harder I fall. You said you always knew What we would turn out to be You said you always knew I've lost my sight I'm just blind behind wide opened eyes Now I'm just a ghost On the passenger seat. Let's write a story Of words we never had to say Now I finally understand what you mean to me... Catch me!

The Gap 04:31
I am sitting in the same old room listening To the same old records Once again I can’t handle what I’ve seen There are children sitting next to each other sad smiles covering up their faces and they aren’t allowed to move for 12 hours a day but that one guy with the gun he’s there to take care about safety they say but in reality you know what he’ll do if one steps out of line he says it’s okay and they have to do this otherwise their families would starve and die the camera turns and I see the dust that the bullets are blowing up on their way into the flesh of these people they have their arms raised up high and hold these signs in their hands I can’t read them but I know what they’re saying // I will carry the truth. // “We won’t forget all the blood and the crime that we have seen” “It won't happen again. Nevermore will it be our fault” But he’s wearing his suit and his broad grin overlaps the paper behind his back It’s green and the numbers I see Substantiate my suspicion I stand up make the few steps to the bathroom And as the blue smoke swirls in front of my eyes A lonely tear drips down my face

Life seems to be floating straight through my hands I want to grab it but it slips through the sink Moments they come and go But what stays is that bitter taste of my past That shines in brightest colours Calling for me to come back And so I slowly become a slave to the glance of my memories I try to look forward But all I can see is a reflection of my past The step that has been waiting for so long to be made Would leave behind the masquerade that makes me feel so goddamn safe So I’m still stuck Nailed onto the ground underneath my feet I Feel unable to move Forced to stay in my same old mind Time is the crack that slowly breaks every safe ground Nostalgia
