I'd Like To Remain A Mystery

Can you hear me calling, calling I’m inside that falling star I’m not human I am your belief I live inside whatever flies Yeah I’m the story survived I think I made a myth of my own life Make a wish it will come true If you become the author too Become aware I see signs all the time The life you’re leading now will be the story you will leave behind It’s all about the way you write it down They say I’m losing touch with what is real no one believes in what they feel My story will survive The myth of my life No one knows what is real or just fantasy I reject your reality It never made much sense to me No one knows if I’m real My life goes into history and I’ll remain a mystery I’m the myth you don’t believe in I’m forever disappearing Never found a way to live my life They will take me to the ocean Spread my ash across the sea My story will go on but was I ever really here? Definition of complete detachment Cause of death is not determined What am I sacrificing myself for? My story will survive The myth of my life No one knows what is real or just fantasy I reject your reality It never made much sense to me No one knows what I feel My life goes into history and I’ll remain a mystery Oh I can finally see what I was born to be Those things you think you need was never meant for me I don’t believe in us, or what we’ve come to trust ’Cause there is so much more than what you’re living for If you call this unreal then don’t give me your symphony for all the things I believe Oh I can’t wait to see all those who disagree You won’t forget, You won’t forget about me They say I’m losing touch with what is real no one believes in what they feel My story will survive The myth of my life No one knows what is real or just fantasy I reject your reality It never made much sense to me No one knows what I feel My life goes into history and I’ll remain a mystery The life you’re leading now will be the story you will leave behind It’s all about the way you write it down They will take me to the ocean spread my ash across the sea My story will go on but I’ll remain a mystery

The Haunted 04:00
Follow the river Run like a sinner Leave no track so I can’t turn back Words from my father Signs in the water Ignoring the facts Hurting to distract All this time I thought I was free I’m counting my bones learning all of me Don’t track me down I was born to leave Don’t bother my name it was never me I am losing my shadow the evidence of what’s real I run with the haunted detaching myself from me You’re chasing time you’re too blind to see Eternity lies in the hands of thee I’m the girl under water oh you will see When you hear the storm you will think of me Collecting my stories Tales of beginnings Leaving the endings Mystery The myth of tomorrow My art and my sorrow Detachment from circles of misery You’re chasing time you’re too blind to see Eternity lies in the hands of thee Oh touch my skin so that I can feel something more than what’s left of me I run with the haunted detachment from what is real I’m breaking the mirrors I can’t stand the thought me You’re chasing time you’re too blind to see Eternity lies in the hands of thee Don’t track me down, I was born to leave Don’t bother my name, it was never me I run with the haunted We’re called the unwanted Not part of a system, detaching me I’m made of tomorrows, I’m feeding on sorrows I’ll take all your morrow Lay it all on my me

Leave, come back again Lock and throw key out, I can’t swallow You’re my prison I call you my friend why do they keep telling me to fight you They don’t know Close off feelings Convince me to believe in you With all the glory Sweet desire Say they will admire me And one day I’ll be free But you won’t stop Now I give up You own me I offer you my soul, if you take me with you I swear I give my all, if you never let me go I hold my breath ’cause I don’t need it when I’m with you Just take me, breath me I give myself to you Your ghost lives in my shade Everywhere I go I hear you whisper All my secrets Think I’ve gone insane Felling something pouring in my veins A ticking louder I thought you said You’d help me be a better me So where’s the glory Sweet desire Said they will admire me But I’m to blind to see That you won’t stop I throw my hands up You own me

Consumed by you - The Glass Child I laid the devil’s curse on you for all those years you put us through I’ve been living with your words around my neck Now I always feel so wrong ’Cause you have shaped me for so long A heart of stone and all these things I have become I’m consumed by you You made me carve i my own skin Been on the outside looking in Oh I died so young I killed myself for you Growing smaller every day Like I’m always in your way And then blame it all one me You can blame on me Will you pull the trigger Tell me what to say I never learn Am I in your way? Been screaming loudless all my life I’ve had enough make sure this time I’ll be heard The payback that I deserve I’m consumed by you The glass I turned to While being crucified by you We play the skills that we’ve been dealt, and oh I played it oh so well Became a ghosts around this house Distant smoke, you closed your eyes The dead will dance for me tonight I’m lead into the light Will you pull the trigger Tell me what to say I never learn Am I in your way? Been screaming loudless all my life I’ve had enough make sure this time I’ll be heard The payback that I deserve And I need them all to know how you were valuing my soul That you made me think just 10 years old That I must be the devil’s child Convinced me with your lies A family of hidden crimes I won’t be quiet this time Been screaming loudless All my life I’ve had enough I just want to be heard The payback that I deserve

Oh I see you 24th just down the street You look up, our eyes they meet In my heads those words repeating I need to clear my mind up Chemics and I forgot To lock the door I cannot Resist, oh make his hands stop My stranger caught me bleak I was too drunk to speak oh can you feel the absence there’s a lack of me I am fallen with me starlight Making poems out of tears And the sky is way to close now Is anybody there Defreeze my soul, Lips so cold Whisper softly in my ear Flying high, close your eyes And just a silent sound when we will jump and hit the ground Two strangers shot each other down Oh who needs you? Does any one believe you? Are you too scared to show oh Does anybody know You disappear as he inhales you The angels are so near and you can hear How they all sing for you, two strangers who Forever will be ghosts inside this room I was waiting for the longest time I was lost but now I’m found The silhouette I’ve grown to be I watch as he’s inhaling me I am fallen with me starlight Making poems out of tears And the sky is way to close now Is anybody there Defreeze my soul, Lips so cold Whisper softly in my ear Flying high, close your eyes And just a silent sound when we will jump and hit the ground Two strangers shot each other down You disappear as he inhales you The angels are so near and you can hear How they all sing for you, two strangers who Forever will be ghosts inside this room I was waiting for the longest time I was lost but now I’m found The silhouette I’ve grown to be I watch as he’s inhaling me

Breathing in despair again and I’m crawling away from you Now my stomach hurts again And I don’t know what to do Spending my nights on the floor again Empty bottles all around I had a thought of where to go for a while But I lost track of it in the night Too old to be was strong Too young to move on To somewhere I belong I’ve been wandering here for too long So come and take me home Somewhere I feel like I can belong Maybe those things that haunt me From the past of mine They won’t go away until I find Until I find somewhere I belong There was a time when I packed all my bags Thought I left who I’ve been behind There were days when I travelled the world As if happiness could be found But I was born with this curse over me Like an omen I know I’ll always end up here and all my dreams die out with each smoke in the night Too old to be was strong Too young to move on To somewhere I belong I’ve been wandering here for too long So come and take me home Somewhere I feel like I can belong I cut all my roots I don’t where I’m coming from Scream my name and take me home To somewhere I belong I’ve been wandering here for too long So come and take me home Somewhere I feel like I can belong

Letdown 04:19
What if I change the things I say so it sounds better in your ears I can tell you exactly what you want to hear What if i change the way i dress So it looks better from your view I can pout my lips to fame and be pretty instead of true I’ve been trying to stay real and true and proud of who I am All those ideals of how to look I’ve been trying not to care But I’m still holding my breath I’m still watching every step I’m still tip-toeing away when I’m getting to ashamed of myself I don’t want to be your let down I’m scared like hell I’m not enough I don’t to be your failure anymore I don’t want to be your let down I’m screaming loud without a sound Have to find a way to be the best of me Failure scares the hell out of me And the music that they’re liking says nothing about the way That I am disappearing so I’ll keep it to myself Though I’m mostly quiet I’ve got a lot to say but nothing seems to please you so I’ll keep it to myself I don’t want to be your let down I’m scared like hell I’m not enough I don’t to be your failure anymore I don’t want to be your let down I’m screaming loud without a sound Have to find a way to be the best of me Failure scares the hell out of me If I’m not good enough for you Am I not good enough for you? Your expectations I can’t live up to, no I just want to be someone To mean something to anyone I’ve got to hurry up to be someone I am fading can you wake me up So I can be, all those things that I’ve been dreaming of I’m the fall, this is the cutting of my wings Oh you’re killing my belief to be myself and if I can’t make my own way I quit

There’s a story I once read and it’s been bugging in my head About this creepy little dancer called Sophie She’s so pretty, she’s so small but she’s tired of it all She just wanna close the door and go sleep You see this little creepy girl, she has some trouble making friends, she can’t seem to comprehend what life’s about So she’s saying creepy stuff like, being happy is a bluff She’s only ten years old but still she’s had enough Oh this little creepy girl She is stuck in this world She grew up just like me Oh this little creepy girl It turned out she was me And they’ve been teaching me to talk How to smile and how to walk But I’m still creepy little me Spoken words that have been said spin around like a circus in my head I’m still living in a dream Oh I’m still Creepy Little Me And in this creepy little story there’s another girl called “Ana” She’s living in Sophie’s creepy head She’s screaming words that no one hears Until Sophie’s skeleton appears Running hours every day to hide her tears And now we’ve come to the middle of this story there’s a boy Saying creepy little things to Sophie Oh they became best friends He used to sing her to sleep It turned out he was a creep He was a creep And they’ve been teaching me to talk How to smile and how to walk But I’m still creepy little me Spoken words that have been said spin around like a circus in my head I’m still living in a dream Oh I’m still Creepy Little Me Here’s the beginning of the end So did she finally get a friend, this creepy little dancer called Sophie? Oh no she gave herself away only her sola still remains She disappeared, but still grew up and became me And they’ve been teaching me to talk How to smile and how to walk But I’m still creepy little me Spoken words that have been said spin around like a circus in my head I’m still living in a dream Oh I’m still Creepy Little Me

Hold On 03:33
Hold On - The Glass Child Let’s find a way to be in this moment for eternity Don’t ever wake me up, connected to infinity Oh the passage of my time, do you see it like I do? As if this is my end, love like we’ll never meet again I push the sky away, I’ll be ghostly here with you If I died right now, this moment would never end Hold on to what you’ve got And I will never let this pass me by And if I hold my breath just long enough Then this could be the rest of our lives Am I holy now, singing loud, London is on fire We’re the endless searching souls if we don’t breathe, That’s my conspire Oh just let me be, every minute of my life And let them know that I was here, Written in the stars at night So not one little piece of my living fades away I could live as if I’ll never live again Hold on to what you’ve got And I will never let this pass me by And if I hold my breath just long enough Than this could be the rest of our lives Closer Don’t be afraid come closer I swear it’s worth the suffer I promise we can fly before we hit the ground One moment If you can choose one moment Where you would stay forever Where would you choose to stay into eternity Don’t question I’ll make a last confession I am so scared of losing what I gain that I’d rather have nothing at all

Oceans 03:49
Come with me I’ll take you to the ocean where we can breathe You and me together hand in hand just like it used to be The time of moon is right to scrutinize Free me We used to be the ones who never cared about the others Used to have another world, where nothing used to matter We had our wings and our broken little pills Bottle after bottle fighting gravity to stop this spin And I remember when we drove all night To find another place another time But you decided to be free from me You choose reality Reality instead of me No don’t let me down Don’t go, I won’t be fine How you can’t see You’re taking life from me Lover don’t speak You always disagree When we can’t see We’re learning to believe Believe in what we feel So close your eyes I’ll show you love tonight It’s started out so slowly drifting further from each others The violence every night and the silence screaming murder I tried to give you time to get used to my escape Every body down I will intoxicate And the piano full of blood From the songs that I’ve been bleeding A bottle full of wine I am standing on the ceiling I’m dancing here alone every night until you come I just wanted to be holy but please just come back Home, don’t let me down Don’t go, I won’t be fine How you can’t see You’re taking life from me Lover don’t speak You always disagree When we can’t see We’re learning to believe Believe in what we feel So close your eyes I’ll show you love tonight And I remember when we drove all night To find another place another time But you decided to be free from me You choose reality Reality instead of me How you can’t see You’re taking life from me Lover don’t speak You always disagree When we can’t see We’re learning to believe Believe in what we feel So close your eyes I’ll show you love tonight Forever dies tonight

When you're out of breath With nothing left to give When you're left behind Laying on the ground When all I see is sadness in your eyes When all you want is reasons you can't find This town is getting smaller ever day I'll leave with you, we'll find another way When you're left alone Just hold on I will lead you home again Aimless watching people passing by You're disappearing got lost in the crowd Leaves are falling slowly to the ground Lovers walking hand in hand without a sound This town is getting smaller ever day I'll leave with you, we'll find another way When you're left alone Just hold on I will lead you home again

Walking round in circels I don’t know where I am I keep looking back at the road that I ran Two steps forward, one step back Is there a way out of my mind I’m digging my own grave I can’t control my hands move I start to suffocate You can’t see me can you? I had it all planned out and written down now I’m held back by my own mind I’ve been reading books of wisdom quotes and thougths of who we are he said ”we’re all in the gutter some are looking at the stars” I have tried to find myself searched for answers in the dark sleepless everynight I’ve prayed to every kind of God Have to get out out of my mind teach me mortality my mind is killing me I’m so undone Have to go on I’m my own enemy Show me reality Observe me and keep me holy The ones who have been broken know they can survive Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com Though I may have fallen I grew stronger everytime I can’t find a way live Been walking dead for so long I read ”as long as you keep moving you’ll end up where you belong” Have to get out out of my mind teach me mortality my mind is killing me I’m so undone Have to go on I’m my own enemy Show me reality Observe me and keep me holy Is there a way out of my mind? Have to get out of my mind There’s a tree grabbing hold of my shoulders and a ghost flying over my head A monster is crawling from under me I scream, but in silence instead Can someone come figure me out I thought I was hidden so well, but they found me somehow They’re dragging me down they’re making blind Can someone take me out of my mind?

I learned how to build my home in my music and my words. When I sing or write, I'm not scared anymore. I believe in writing your own story,and that's what Im doing here. ... more
