LYRICS
Heaven
Child do you know
Do you know why the children
They don't get to go to heaven
Child do you know why
Child do you know
Do you know why we'll always wander
We're still looking for an answer
Can we unload what we keep on our shoulders?
​​​​​​​
The world is looking down

It's freezing and isn’t it a joke?
I try to listen but I can hardly talk
If only you could see the things in my head
If only you could read the words that can't be said
I wish you tried to understand
For you it’s easy to smile and pretend
But when I try my mind is empty
Can you hear me, my mind is empty
Please tell me exactly
How do you think you're helping me?
In your eyes I'm still the same
You know nothing but my name
I step forward but it feels like
Everytime you take it back
Please tell me exactly
How could you think you're helping me?
But where’s the end of all of this?
My brain is dying from exhaustion
I'm tired of those self-expressions
You may think I was left on the ground
Couldn't expect less, trust me I won't stay long
I'll just shut myself and be lonely
I'll go home and write shaky poetry
And you’ll hear me, in my poetry
Please tell me exactly
How do you think you're helping me?
In your eyes I'm still the same
You know nothing but my name
I step forward but it feels like
Everytime you take it back
Please tell me exactly
How could you think you're helping me?
Nobody knows
(Please try one more time)
All of them bitches

All of them bitches
See that girl who preaches
Been told “love everyone”
Bet she forgot someone
Surrounded by riches
Gone hunting for witches
All fighting for a throne
Don’t want to be alone
Some witches hiding in a hole
Well thanks, I’m well enough
But you’re craving for approval
And I watch you losing yourself
You think I can’t be the same
If I’m different, I’m insane
If only you gave me a chance
But what would they say about it?
Oh look at that weirdo
Oh, have you seen her hair?
She sold her soul long ago
We shall all do a prayer
All of them bitches
See that girl who preaches
Been told “love everyone”
Bet she forgot someone
Surrounded by riches
Gone hunting for witches
All fighting for a throne
Don’t want to be alone
I live in my own fantasies
No limits to the world inside of me
It’s the one good thing about me
So why should I deny it all?
And you’ve got your hideous fun
I know it’s nothing but a lie
You couldn’t even recognize
An ugly duckling if you saw one
Oh look at that weirdo
Oh, have you seen her hair?
She sold her soul long ago
We shall all do a prayer
All of them bitches
See that girl who preaches
Been told “love everyone”
Bet she forgot someone
Surrounded by riches
Gone hunting for witches
All fighting for a throne
Don’t want to be alone
And they keep saying that they’re not guilty, not of an invisible crime
And I hate to think they made me better than I could ever have been
What’s the point you say when I’m not sure there’s a heaven that’s waiting for me?
Oh look at that weirdo
Oh, have you seen her hair?
She sold her soul long ago
We shall all do a prayer
All of them bitches
See that girl who preaches
Been told “love everyone”
Bet she forgot someone
Surrounded by riches
Gone hunting for witches
All fighting for a throne
Don’t want to be alone
You know this is about you

Hey there, remember me?
Remember how it used to be?
You know we talked the most
Before you turned into a ghost
I know what you’re gonna say
I know what you’re gonna say
Green was the funniest color
Do you still know why I wonder
And now it’s over I can just bet
You don't remember when we met
I know what you’re gonna say
I know what you’re gonna say
You told me you lost friends
I’m not sure it wasn’t pretend
You are the one who gives up
On people who don’t have your luck
I know what you’re gonna say
I know what you’re gonna say
I know know know what you’re gonna say
I know know know what you’re gonna say
They think you’re still right there
In their mind we are still a pair
How could I tell them the truth?
I just lost some part of my youth
I know what you’re gonna say
I know what you’re gonna say
I know know know what you’re gonna say
I know know know what you’re gonna say
Sometimes I’m over you
Then you come and bring back the blues
You don’t answer the phone
You might as well leave me alone
I know what you’re gonna say
I know what you’re gonna say
Yes, this hurt for a while
All this time, was wondering why
What was so wrong with me?
Nothing, I just let the pain be
I know what you’re gonna say
I know what you’re gonna say
I know I was deceived
It’s not only lovers who’ll leave
They don’t warn you and say
The ones you trust will go away
I know what you’re gonna say
I know what you’re gonna say
I know know know what you’re gonna say
I know know know know what you’re gonna say
I don’t actually know
But I doubt you are listening now
There’s no way you’re still there
One thing I know is you don’t care
I know what you’re gonna say
I know what you’re gonna say
I know know know what you’re gonna say
I know know know know what you’re gonna say
I know what you’re gonna say
I know what you’re gonna say
I know know know what you’re gonna say

I know know know know what you’re gonna say
Dolls

First I didn’t understand

Cause I had never thought of it
I’m not your idea for perfect
But I’ll never be someone else
So take another look at yourself
Isn’t it funny how I’m always too young?
I’m not one of them
Although you think I am
I’d rather be free than fall into the trap
That turned so many into dolls
I have to deal with all of it by myself
I don’t need any of that false sense of help
I’d rather be sad than fall into the trap
That turned so many into dolls
Only one thing works for me
And no one can give it to me
Maybe it’s too expensive
And you cannot find your marks
Tell me, does she know about this?
Isn’t it funny how bad all of this sounds?
I’m not one of them
Although you think I am
I’d rather be free than fall into the trap
That turned so many into dolls
I have to deal with all of it by myself
I don’t need any of that false sense of help
I’d rather be sad than fall into the trap
That turned so many into dolls
I know but I can’t understand
I can’t see through that hazy wall
But I don’t want it, I can’t be a doll
Only when it’s real I can feel it all
In hope and misled, still can’t be a doll
Even if I want, can’t trust you at all
Pain will be there but I won’t be a doll
I’m not one of them
Although you think I am
I’d rather be free than fall into the trap
That turned so many into dolls
I have to deal with all of it by myself
I don’t need any of that false sense of help
I’m not sad enough to fall into the trap
That turned so many into dolls
When I leave
Will I just be another doll
Who lost her only face

See beyond the surface
When I leave
Will I just be another doll
Who lost her only face

See beyond the surface
S*rry

These words don’t mean anything to
Me, why do you need them so badly?
All the light in an honest smile
Means a lot more to me
But if all you’ve got are empty words
You are just part of the herd
You’re so scared of getting attention
You follow all these conventions
You don’t want to be in my head
You go back to your bubble instead
So until you find some kind of peace
Will you leave me the fuck alone, pl*ase?
Ire

There’s a poison running through my veins
And a loud scream banging in my brain
You hate that I’m addicted
It’s not hard to admit it
And if things don’t go my way
I’ll destroy everything today
When I’m on fire
Don’t you start crying over the ire
Won’t go away when you’re a liar
And all the things you know are dire
Everytime I turn to the fire
Yes I was made to feel the ire
Sure it’s a thing you don’t admire
When I decide to go haywire
So let me enjoy the firm crash
I need to see everything be smashed
Then you get to know the real me
And I know you think it’s ugly
Enjoy this bit of realness
This world doesn’t like the excess
When I’m on fire
Don’t you start crying over the ire
Won’t go away when you’re a liar
And all the things you know are dire
Everytime I turn to the fire
Yes I was made to feel the ire
Sure it’s a thing you don’t admire
When I decide to go haywire
You act like you will feel the pain
But tonight it will be forgotten
So right now spare me your wailing

Come to me rejoicing
When I’m on fire
Don’t you start crying over the ire
Won’t go away when you’re a liar
And all the things you know are dire
Everytime I turn to the fire
Yes I was made to feel the ire
Sure it’s a thing you don’t admire
When I decide to go haywire
No today

One last wave at my favorite harbour
And smells I didn’t know I would forget
One step towards such a blurry future
A mind full of colors not painted yet
Summer ended and we got thrown away
I sat on the couch and I had to yearn
Our place that was half-empty that day
That watched me grow and learn and cry and burn
And there wasn’t a today, and barely a yesterday
And nothing in these paths would lead me to myself
I knew there was a tomorrow, even if time stretched so hard
It would take 10 years to come but in the end, it would come
A princess in a new room tries to run
From a queen who’s singing a different tune
Wrapped in red under an earlier sun
Wish to remember her favorite perfume
Got stuck in my room that was kind of blue
'Cause I wanted it like the older one
Walking on a road that just felt so new
Reaching for these things I had never won
And there wasn’t a today, and barely a yesterday
And nothing in these paths would lead me to myself
I knew there was a tomorrow, even if time stretched so hard
It would take 10 years to come but in the end, it would come
And then I found my way, and I could tame the road
And there would be many other flavors to come
And other colors I could paint in different forms
And I would find older pains I tried to conceal
Along with these new ones that I would learn to heal
And there wasn’t a today, and barely a yesterday
And nothing in these paths would lead me to myself
I knew there was a tomorrow, even if time stretched so hard
It would take 10 years to come but in the end, it would come
Breathe

You say you want me to stay

Seems you forgot who I was
Did you take the time to listen when I said I’d leave?
Didn’t want me to grow up
And I tried not to get old
So we all tried to get in this fight we couldn’t win
I say listen to me
And you keep telling me
There’s enough for me in our home
But I won’t find the answers here
So let me breathe
Let me find out how far I’m allowed to fall
And let me walk
Let me go beyond this wall I find so small
And you may think it’s your fault
But it was always like this
Following a call that became louder through the years
'Cause if you don’t protect me
I’ll get hurt along the way
If you knew about my wounds I couldn’t go further
I say listen to me
And you keep telling me
Maybe there’s nothing where I’ll go
But if I stay how can I know?
So let me breathe
Let me understand what I am looking for
And let me fall
Let me figure out how I can break the wall
You’re not listening to me
I said, “please listen to me”
I know you’ll miss me when I go
But there’s one thing I want you to know
I said “I’m leaving now”,
Yes I said “I’m leaving now”
And if I’m back, it won’t last long
There was something else all along
So let me breathe
Let me chase these roads before they disappear
And let me try
Let me look away from that thing they call fear
So let me dare
Let me tear
Let me scare
You I’m in the air
So let me fall
Let me crawl
Let me call
When I feel so small
So let me fly
Let me try
Let me cry
And don’t ask me why
Let me leave
Let me grieve
And believe

And hope you forgive
Black Heart

My heart’s the only thing you can’t shatter
I’ve never even loved for that matter
You’ve got your feelings but I can’t share mine
You say I’m a goner, I don’t have a heart
Didn’t you hear? I’ve got a black heart
It seems I never cry, and guess what I’ll never die
And my heart is lacking sadness
Because it’s dipped in the blackness
It seems I never lie when I say life lets me fly
Nothing to gain in the pain, right?
Life’s easier with a black heart
I stayed in the silence so I could sleep
And I hated these nights I couldn’t skip
These days it’s because I don’t want to know
I couldn’t have woken to the sounds or the glow
So I go back to my Schrödinger’s heart
It seems I never cry, and guess what I’ll never die
And my heart is lacking sadness
Because it’s dipped in the blackness
It seems I never lie when I say life lets me fly
Nothing to gain in the pain, right?
Life’s easier with a black heart
You’re uneasy because of my death stare
I’m just looking for more people to scare
Yeah it’s just so people won’t think it’s easy to kill me
It seems I never cry, and guess what I’ll never die
And my heart is lacking sadness
Because it’s dipped in the blackness
It seems I never lie when I say life lets me fly
Nothing to gain in the pain, right?
Life’s easier with a black heart
(Only an) Inner Fire

The fire was burning everything around my body
A boiling wave hoping to fulfill one or two things
Then it stayed inside of me, igniting every inch
Couldn’t stop it, though I knew it was bad for you and me
And the sparkles also existed in his eyes
I never replaced him, I was filling the void
And I know that night I missed him for the last time
For once, the fire took a shape that seemed right
And each time it was dying I reignited it
I knew it was dangerous ‘cause I didn’t have the right
But it was helping me survive and ease the flame
'Cause the fire, cause the fire, was all I ever knew
And every empty part of my mind was waiting
For the wave to come and put the wrong fire out
And these times the ashes should have been wiped away
But they spread and they turned everything else dirty
I woke up every night, remembered through the dark
I wanted to walk til my legs would become numb
Til the air froze my lungs and stopped my breath again
And the fire, and the fire made sure to never leave
It’s always inside me and won’t leave me alone
I see the sparkles and they add even more ashes
That I can’t clean and they keep on smothering me
And they filled every part that I had kept empty
As a child, in the night, I was already right
I forgot the truth I knew for such a long time
Until you came and you reminded me of it
Old demons coming back to haunt my thoughts again
Telling me I shouldn’t hope for other fires
I will only ever get an inner fire
I think maybe I don’t need the inner fire
And I shouldn’t only have the inner fire
But I can only get the inner fire
Only when it’s ending I start being alive
