hey there reverse lullaby
wake me up dont calm me down but make me cry
throw the mockingbird back to the broken sky
these hymns are not colorful
the right decisions only leave me feeling dull
the good times are too silently wonderful
no new joy and the sorrow's stale
if I feel something once then the second time will fail
and the dog won't bark
and i cant straighten my question marks
hey there reverse vignette
im scratching out the words that you made me forget
even though you know that I don't want to yet
i dont wanna learn from mistakes
i just want to live inside the chaos they make
even if its only for a fleeting day
no new joy and the sorrow's stale
i think im gonna fail
cause the dog wont bark and i cant straighten my question marks
you say hi to me different now
no laugh-cry kisses now
but that don't bother me...
