These days that never change, laying in the blur of a deep blue indigo Below a fading sky I heard the same today, the thundering applause that as always never came The song I sang as empty as the life I waste So things would never change I wrote inside my notebook, a far off fairytale, the starring role you played This month is empty too, I’m cut off from the world, society, all the news My life slowly drips away, like the ink I write in As I’ve gotten older, this dream from my younger by gone years, it slowly starts to fade... And all I can do is wait When I, when I look up and see the clouds above They all just, just pass me by and disappear The night sky full of petals dancing in the wind So much so it almost feels like a dream Like the way I’m losing sight of you it seems My eyes, they point straight down, realising now that life is nothing but one trade off after the next I don’t believe in fate, or love or life or things they play on the radio There isn’t any use for things that can’t be sold The now I so wanted, I threw in the trash bin, and watching it all slowly fade away... I’m lying still here in wait Just now, just now I saw a distant image of you far out of sight when I had closed my eyes My notebook filled with flowers dancing in the night Like the one I hold inside my eyes Life is just, one trade off after another Something that I learnt quick as I got older Elma, it’s been you y’know The music I’ve been listening that’s kept me going Two verses left, not even worth mentioning Since life is priced as… how tragically the storyline ends Just then, just then, I saw your picture in my mind Oh despite, despite the blue that blurs your smile Those petals dancing on the wind across the sky As the indigo blue fills my eyes Cause I, cause I.... I thought I saw you dancing in the distant sky Carried by the wind and out of sight

Hey it's me So you see I noticed it really in the end You know, what you had told to me then Didn't think Anything About it, pushing it from my mind Forgetting but realizing I'm Running blindly, reckless finally Dreams that lied seem so true Don't like waiting, patience fading Barely making it through I know this just won't do Surely If on the day I die I turn to look at my life I'd still love each and every moment that I was alive Ah Finally If on the day I die You can't be there at my side Once more Simply Repeat Simply Clearly Tell me Hey it's me Do you see What I see? And how the sky is blue Oh how can I get it through to you? How at night In the sky The clouds are so far, they're out of reach Oh how can I ever make you see? Tell me Hey it's me So you see I really had known it all along Ya know, how you were already gone And you see I believe You'd tell me I'm stubborn every time I want to forget you but I find Tell it to me more clearly Making a note of it, hold to it dearly Telling me 10, at the train, see you there, don't be late And other meetings Without the petals, is a flower Staying alive in our memories, a Summer Giving it words, read Give it a voice, send What you had said then And so If on the day I die You come to be at my side Surely Upon the day I die I'll sing of the love in my life Like you said, every moment was worth it to be alive Ah Upon the day I die You won't be there at my side Even now I really can't believe Once more Simply Simply Simply Once more Simply Simply Honestly Once more Simply Simply Simply Simply Clearly Tell me

Yesterday a hole had opened Right in the middle of my chest for all to see Twilight colours, just like midnight Painted the town so beautifully Deep in my memories Deep in my memories Deep in my mem’ries I want to forget but I’m swallowed in blue And all I can see through that blue is you That’s why a hole has opened up where my heart is Pounding my heartbeat tried to fill up the nothing But when I tried to say it loud, the words that left my mouth Were nothing more than excuses That’s why a hole has opened up where my heart is My only thought was how the rain was so comforting And so I mend, and so I mend, I try to mend All that I am, alone, again How can I explain the feeling? It’s almost like sleeping in a sunny forest clearing Like a dream still felt in waking Like the sea, its real depths are so dizzying So dizzying…. So dizzying So dizzying, the dizzying night can’t conceal the moonlight Illuminating, shining from your eyes That’s why I opened up a hole where your heart was Why does it matter, music really is pointless! If you don’t open up your mouth You’ll never say it loud, or get the things you deserve hey There’s just so much I wanna wipe from my memories But in the end I only sigh and cry tears I trip and fall, I trip and fall, I trip and fall Down on the cold and solid ground Putting to paper way I lived Following blindly the way you did The songs you left aren’t gonna save me Music’s never gonna save me Trying still to imitate the way you talked Trying still to imitate the way you walked But even though I tried hard to erase, the me I was so that nothing remained I’m still me, hey. Filling the hole that opened up where my heart is Every word you said, and every sentence But it’ll never be the same, the goodbye that never came I don’t want to hear you say it! There’s just so much I wanna wipe from my memories Left all alone, and at the mercy of the years As I grow cold, as I grow cold Your words had taken up the space where my heart is Now there’s a hole that’s opened up where my heart is I think I get it now You see, you’re everything to me - the music i’ve been listening to amy That’s why a hole has opened up where my heart is Right on the other side of where you existed It’ll only grow, it’ll only grow, it’ll only grow Never the way it was before Alone, in my heart, a gaping hole

Hitchcock 03:43
“Every time it rains I feel my heart begin to ache again but why oh why is that so?” “When spring turns into summer I can feel my heart turn colder but then why, oh why is that so?” “When I hear the slightest bit of laughter at the things I do I cry, but why is that so?” Even though I’m acting so pathetic, will I find somebody sympathetic? Who knows The word goodbye still fresh in my mind It tears my heart out slowly inside The red and pinks that fill up the sky, they set me aglow Not knowing where I should go Counsellor, could you give me some advice? What am I supposed to do with the rest of my life? Are you just gonna tell me “everything will be alright”, like I’ll believe that lie? Ah! It’s not like I don’t want to live another day I just wanna live without feeling any pain Looking at the sky, my only wish, is it really truly selfish? “Every time I lie, it always hurts me deep inside but I still do it, why is that so?” “The bad will always prosper while the good will always suffer too but why oh why is that so?” “Mone y can’t buy happiness but happiness costs money, could you tell me why is that so?” Did we ever realise we bought into this system? And whatever they say goes The price of ignorance these days Is so much more than what we can pay If only life was just a film, directed by him... Then maybe I’d feel something. Counsellor, I don’t think I can live this way. Living on like this only causes me pain Even the greats couldn’t find a way to fill this hole or make it go away, ah! All I ever wanted to do is close my eyes Reaching out my fingertips to the summer skies Living in the past, my only wish, is it really truly selfish? A piece devoid of death or any tragedy in it… it won’t sell very well I know The fact that humans can draw a price on petals that fall, is nothing safe from them anymore Did you have dreams when you were younger, counsellor? Was it something that you had to throw away when you got older? Counsellor, could you give me some advice? What am I supposed to do with the rest of my life? Saying that I’ll come out stronger after crying’s really such a bullshit lie, ah! It’s not that I don’t care to live another day Reality’s just harder to discern out these days And summer’s just so far away… So tell me is this really all alright? Can we live like this for the rest of our life? Don’t you dare_ tell me that “it’s something only you can make the answer to” alright!?! Just let me close my eyes, breathe in the summer breeze Let me feel the wind forever on my cheeks Looking at the sky my only wish, is it really truly selfish? Better knowing you my only wish, is it really truly selfish?

Floating up so high in the sky Was a moon that drifted like it was floating by At the bus, stop as I was glancing up The you as you were had again resurfaced in my mind It’s fine Torii, and thin wispy clouds Summer scents, caress me and linger even now Standing on my toes looking tall although I know before long I will grow Tired playing, we took a little break Out behind the bus stop, the day was growing late Even if these days end up ending soon I’m sure, I’m sure I’ll still remember you Slowly growing up, far behind I never realised All the while the night had been blooming in your smile If I can’t find the words to convey it I’ll be on my own But it’s alright, it’s okay, I’ve known it all along It’s fine Wispy clouds, a fine summer day Traffic lights so dim, finding shelter in the shade Oh this scent that lingers inside my mind Smells like summer all of the time Lifeless photos can’t make you feel a thing “Making memories” don’t mean a single goddamn thing! I was so naiive as I was back then I didn’t say a_nything In my eyes, akin to a summer day Eternal, smiling, never shall you fade Slowly growing up, looking down I never realised Under skies so blue, I won’t ever get to you I couldn’t find the words, so in silence up the hill we climbed All while the night bloomed inside our shadows far behind We became adults, looking down we never realised So raise up your hands, clap them any way you like if we had looked behind, from the hill against the setting sun Casting our shadows as one Slowly growing up, far behind I never realised All the while the night had been blooming in your smile Though I can’t find the words, you’ll forever be here by my side If that’s the case, then it’s fine I’ve just been chewing your memories this entire time

I’m suddenly taken back to that time When I waited for you underneath that blue sky Passing by me in an instant Slipping from the depths of my imagination Hey, can somebody tell me what’ll happen next? Say, tell me how to make it go on just another day Looking right into your eyes As I walk away from you one last time I’m suddenly taken back to that time All the summers that would bore me out of my mind Didn’t I quit playing piano? Out of habit tapping on my desk to play the notes Hey, can somebody tell me what I’m gonna do? “Hey, anything besides music should be okay” Everything will be okay If you took my heart and drew, A single note just straight on through No it wouldn’t disappear believe me Whatever I do it just won’t disappear It’s still right here But I’ve got it wrong again I don’t understand I don’t really care though Not about humans or truth or the world or this life I hold, I don’t really care, no! Seeing things in black or white, isn’t right, it’s just an excuse right? One thing’s for sure tho Everythng is your fault I’m suddenly taken back to that time Growing old was the only thing on my mind Knowing that someday I would die was like a stab in the chest, though I never understood why “Hey do you know what you’ll be doing one day?” Passing by the years I knew what I would do one day I’d be doing nothing at all All your positivity, ignites a hatred deep in me Knowing I’ll never be happy Knowing that I’ll never be enough, can’t you see? It haunts my every single waking dream But I know you know I’m right Though we’re different we’re humans deep inside But without love, or salvation, or kindness, or comfort though, is it really life? no! Crying when the radio plays a sappy note, pathetic yes I know One thing’s for sure tho That much is your fault I’ve tried but I still don’t understand why Why is it we have to fight to live our own life Why I can’t live off doing the one thing I like I don’t care if my lyrics are-n’t quite right I don’t really care, no ‘Cause I think I’ve got it right Yeah I know I’ve got it right Yeah I know I’ve got it right? But I’ve got it wrong again I don’t understand I don’t really care though Not about humans or truth or the world or this life I hold, I don’t really care, no! Never giving a reply, just philosophic lines, is just an excuse right? Not that I care tho Everything is your fault Even I had dreams long long ago Now it doesn’t feel the same as it did before I’ve told you time and time again It didn’t really matter if nothing came of it, you know You do know, I know you know, now I can’t do it anymore So now you know why So now you know why I don’t do music anymore

These words whirl around my coffee cup like cappuccino A little too much foam Excuses are pointless So let's drink our cappuccinos And leave em by the window My heart whirls around my coffee cup like cappuccino A little too much foam Excuses are pointless Drink up our cappuccinos Pretending we don’t know… This wavering downpour that crashes and falls It brings a storm of flower petals drowning us all Your words are staining my memory, it won’t fade away I pray, I pray, I pray, so you don't, don't end up overflowing Waves caressing the shore framed By a picture perfect sunset Are all that I can see yet That August in Visby's With the loud roaring of the seas My hope dies with the breeze This evening time downpour that crashes and falls Will wash away the summer flowers drowning us all But saving one for myself, one that won't disappear Oh please, oh please, oh please Put it in my heart and let it blossom I've never been alright I just wanted someone else to tell me how to live my life Now everything I do, will never be enough to repay you If there's nothing you can say to me Anything is fine so please just tell me Hey could you tell me? Say something and just answer me This wavering downpour that crashes and falls It brings a storm of flower petals drowning us all These songs I write in your memory, so that you don't fade I pray, I pray, I pray, that these days don't fade out from my memories Another summer comes to a conclusion I hold this flower blooming in my chest and As I feel the tears spill over, I write This song with all of our memories, so that you don't fade I pray, I pray, I pray, so you don't, don't end up overflowing

It’s almost time With a bomb in my hand and a pair of empty eyes Good night people, tonight I… I’ll explode it all high into the sky I feel betrayed With a bomb in my hand, tears are streaming down my face I want to fill the sky with a light show Like the scenes in the dreams that I had long ago And yet, today was no good, I And yet, I couldn’t do it this time Blowing up the past is all I wanted to do Singing out memories I still have of you Take these days and make it all explode Take my heart so I can’t feel no more It’s not fair at all, when I still recall all the little things you did I can’t forget it! I just wanna watch this room explode I don’t wanna have these dreams anymore That’s why tonight I… I’ll blow it all up, blow it high into the skies It’s almost time With a bomb in my hand, and a pair of empty eyes Although it’s pretty crowded today too No one cares though this bomb is plain in view Back then, I didn’t understand it Back then, I took it all for granted But no matter what, you were always there by my side Whichever way it blows, these memories won’t die Take that summer, make it all explode Take my memories and what they hold It’s cruel, can’t you see? Without any word you just went and disappeared You up and left me! I just wanna watch this town explode I don’t want to feel this pain anymore That’s why tonight I… I’ll blow it all up, blow it high into the sky I wish I could’ve just smiled more I wish I could do it all once more Though they died that day, they’ll find their way back to you Those pink carnations are forever in bloom Take these days and make it all explode Take my heart so I can’t feel no more I don’t care at all, if no one at all feels the suffering I do, to hell with them too! I just wanna watch the world explode If you go away then I’ll be alright It’s now or never, get out of my sight! So I’m gonna make it all explode Cause with that I’ll never feel no more It’s not fair at all, when I still recall all the little things you did I can’t forget t! I just wanna make the night explode Not the memories of you that I hold That’s why tonight I… I’ll blow it all up, blow it high into the sky

Somebody like yourself, true and kind would never understand this aching heart of mine Cursing other people yes is what I do best, and so I Write songs to pass the time I’ve always dreamed of being on TV To hear the audience lovingly praise me For now I guess I’ll make this knife sharp as can be Hear the crash of glass being pounded at The tearing noise of a sheet of paper torn to shreds And the setting sun after “goodbye” is said is just so lovely… Even that much is plain to see! The birds cry out their song in the sunset This empty ache I feel starts to sing a swan song too And yet you linger still in the shadows Standing on your toes, sky a flaming red hue Slipping off my tongue, was my goodbye to you I wanted to be seen, I want to love Are these the “dreams” that people talk about? Just another beggar begging for it to be I’m lazy. Hurry and satisfy me! Somebody like yourself, wouldn’t get This ugly jealousy that simmers in my chest Always looking for an opportunity to hit and to strike them back Hear the crash of glass bottles striking lamps The blaring noise a guitar makes as it’s being slammed These regrets with no way to make amends Though it’s lovely Just the thought, see, that even that much is plain to see...! The words, relentless, beat down upon me December slowly creeps into my September heart And in the spring, the mist in the mountains Rises in the sky, summer follows behind Caressing both my cheeks, as the breeze passes by Somebody like yourself, true and kind would never understand this aching heart of mine I’m no good at living but I don’t wanna die, and so I Write songs to pass the time I feel it everyday, the words, the hate The sheer disgust of everybody as they look my way It’s why I only write songs that hurt other people now And songs without a soul like the one that you’re hearing now I wanna drink your words down completely I use my hands to hold them, nowhere to put them in One day my drought will no doubt diminish But until it does, waiting here until then The birds cry out their song in the sunset I beg this empty ache, to turn itself into a tune And say goodbye to you in this sunset Waiting for the night to come drown me in blue Slipping off my tongue, is my goodbye to you

Hey, hey Though I try to speak, all my thoughts will never come to light I’d just end up with my mouth hanging wide, that’s why That’s why Hey, hey Even in the silence I know exactly what you mean Eyes say all we really need to it seems Even now the buzz in my head Slowly eats away at all of the memories But I know the things that you said Every day was laughter when you were with me I just wanna jump off into the sunset High above the clouds and out towards the sky’s end And beneath it all it’s fading so slowly The town you had shown me… It seems so lonely Standing by my shoes a flower is blooming Fire flowers filled the night with their booming Maybe in the sky, I could leave behind my heart and its weeping Summer days are all that I’m dreaming Hey, hey Is there any way I could start to think the way you do? Hey, hey, wouldn’t it be great if I could? Calm, rest They don’t mean a thing, all my worries won’t just disappear That said, shimmering the skyline is clear Everything I’ve eaten away Came at the expense of somebody else’s life Even then I can’t find my place Dreaming of the nighthawk that’s high in the sky I just wanna dance away in the sunrise If I could I know I’d wish to the night sky Over time you’ve faded far from my sight But my eyes won’t forget you They just don’t want to Underneath it all the flowers are crying Fire flowers ringing out as they’re dying Even just the thought of hearing the sound, it brings me to weeping Summer pains are all that I’m hearing Hey, Hey Even if these wings take me far away into the sky I’d say That I still want you by my side, that’s why… that’s why… I just wanna jump off into the sunset High above the stars now, hoping to end this And beneath it all it’s fading so slowly The town you had shown me… It’s just so lonely In the summer sky the flowers are blooming Fire flowers filled the night with their booming Thinking that the pain will never subside, the tears never leave me Summer days are now but a memory

Now, I’m sure there’s not a thought in your mind Of shaded days in summer I sat by your side While sharing frozen cones that melt in the light A summer breeze lullaby Now, I’m sure there’s not a thought in your mind Of how we both had mocked the world and all of its lies We’d pack our bags and run away and find something exciting Building our own peace of mind Hope that you never forget I hope that you never regret I hope that things you’ll never touch or see with your eyes can still remind Let me hear your voice calling me to rest Tell me that the summer has come again As I paint a memory, an image haunting me, a pretty ghost--all that’s left Fluttering my skirt in the breeze and then I can not recall how the story ends Take another breath and find Summer’s coming fast; time to move ahead Now, I’m sure there’s not a thought in your mind Of shaded days in summer I sat by your side The puffy clouds had hidden right behind the lines Of the hills in the twilight Reaching out a hand you tried to call to the sky But nothing had felt your touch, though hard you had tried I drew a single cloud upon the canvas laughing sadly and Had held it so gently in mine Hope that you never forget I hope that you never regret I hope the things that never had their own happy end can still remind Now without a face that I call mine Every single word that I left behind I can see you laughing free, and waiting patiently, a pair of ghosts--you and I Let me hear the voice that I couldn’t find Everything you felt so deep inside Take another breath and find… Hope that you never forget I hope that you never regret I hope the things the older you has left long behind can still remind Let me hear your voice calling me to rest Tell me that our story is gonna end I can see it blossoming, within the summer breeze, now the ghost blooms again At a time where words all’ve been spent Emotions that live on in a single breath Take another breath and find Summer’s coming fast; time to move ahead I can smell the warmth in the wind I can smell the warmth in the wind Now, I’m sure there’s not a thought in your mind Of shaded days in summer I sat by your side While sharing frozen cones that melt in the light A summer breeze lullaby
