your language

i know
these words
sound like the ones before
but i can't take it
i know
it hurts
just like it did before
but i just can't fake it

even
today
you can't seem to understand
you just don't get it
i hold
it out
in the palm of my hand
and you always break it

but let me say it
let me say it
before you break my heart again

i know
that we
are not a one-way street
and you're not driving
i know
that we
oh, should try to make ends meet
but you're not even trying

'cause you speak
in two
and i just speak in one
and it's not your language
so i'll keep
to myself
while you go have your fun
'cause it's not your language

but let me say it, let me say it
before you break my heart again
gone and played it
over-stayed it
and it just doesn't make no sense
let me say it, let me say it
before you....

before you break my heart again

nostalgia

there's a hole in my heart
and i'm singing out to me
yeah, i'm singing through my chest
yeah, i'm singing gracefully...

"what is it you're missing, child? what is it you're missing?
how you ever goin' to start what you're just not up to finishing?"

there's a hole in my head
in my dreams i can see through it
i see all my wishful thoughts and
all my fears and all my sorrows

what is it you're missing, child?
what is it you're missing?
how you ever goin' to start what you're just not up to finishing?
what is it you're missing, child? what is it you're missing?
how you ever goin' to finish what you're just not up to starting?

looking back it was so clear to me
looking back: as a child, i was so care free
now that i'm getting old, i'm not so sure
now that i'm getting old, i yearn for more...

mother

looking out around the world
everyone's in motion
buildings tall and heads a-whirl
not the slightest notion

and we declare
if it is not there
then we can not see it, can we?

well, she shines, she pours,
and then she snows
her voice, the wind, is howlin'
she builds it up and lets it go
while all of us ignore her cries

and we declare
that she is not there
but why do i see her?
why do i?

can't you see the truth underneath your suit?
put the wallet down, simply look around
she is always there:
fire, water, air
question if you dare
people, be prepared
look at what we've done underneath the sun
grab ahold the reigns, get thrown off again
don't you wanna know how to live and grow?
reapin' what we sow

we reap what we sow

and i declare
she really is there

looking out around the world
everything's in motion.

tiny monster

one day, was walkin' down the street
your face and mine happened to meet
i frowned, and you began to shout
it turned my body inside out

then suddenly the clouds covered the sky
and suddenly i saw red in my eyes
i grew some fangs, i grew a tangled mane
and we both knew i'd never be the same

you made me, you made me into a tiny monster
you made me, you made me into a monster
and i don't feel like myself anymore.

my skin: now covered in scales
dragging behind me: a long and pointed tail
and you: you run away in fear
i call your name, it's so unclear

'cause suddenly i don't know how to roar
and suddenly i haven't any claws
i started shrinking, started falling down
tall blades of grass are hovering around

you made me, you made me into a tiny monster
you made me, you made me into a monster
and i don't feel like myself...

you tricked me!
i tried to run you wouldn't let me be, oh!
look what you've done to my heart
i wanna rip things apart
you say that i need the help?
you can't even help yourself!

you made me, you made me into a tiny monster
you made me, you made me into a monster
and i don't feel like myself...
