Outside (The Selfish Love Manifesto)
Here is the deal between us
Here is our pact for life
We could keep our secrets
As we should keep the lies
You don't owe me reasons
So I won't ask you why
Here is the deal between us
Don't ever look outside
Here is the deal on freedom
We don't believe in shame
This is our vision, our common way
We're not here for revenge
Fleeing from someone else
And we take no prisoners other than ourselves
Here is the deal on future
No missed chance to regret
Pretend there is no consequence when things get hard to forget
Take the past for granted as tomorrow may be not
Take today as it comes as it's everything we got
If we never look outside
Outside, don't ever look outside
F.L.Y. (Fucking Love You)
I have been the bend on your smile
Happiness just once in a while
Uncertainty seen as worthwhile
What's left of me is the man I have been
The emptiness of a loneliness making machine
Carving new scars on your skin
You and I
You and I, a never found rhyme
You and I, a tear on the inside
You and I, a matter of time
You and I, aimin' for an unreachable climb
You and I, a perfect goodbye
Save me (A Sort Of Prayer)
Lend me the strength I'd need to strive
I'll bring the wit and I'll take the knife
And make it either black or white
to me grey is just the cheapest fight
I don't believe in compromise
Please save me from being wise
Consistency tends to be blind
So change the purpose and I'll change my mind
And make me aware of things you fudge
to try to teach me how not to judge
'Cause I could try but I wouldn't swear
Please save me from being fair
When I ask questions in search for a trace
Remind me that answers cannot be erased
Don't show directions while helping with the road
I would find my way out, just tell me to go
Don't praise me if I'm right, don't blame me when I'm wrong
But show that through your eyes there's no difference at all
Save me once again 'cause after all I'm just a man
Gone (A Song About Leaving)
What could I tell you more, after trying every word?
Isn't my silence enough?
And I've opened up my soul to let you see my whole world
Do you still have anything to learn?
Why are you standing at the door?
This time I wont come back home
Here is not where I belong anymore
'Cause the days of my life are the only thing I own
And I feel I'm not growing up but I'm just getting old
I still have something to find out crossed the line of no return
But how could I tell you that I'm gone?
about
Four different shades of selfishness, fading from angry cynicism to intimate quietness.
Four love songs without the "Love" word in any of the lyrics.
