She, was a dancer from an antique land. A country born out of the sand. A jewel worth keeping for my own, A longing you have never known. We used to meet in summertime, Cicadas would chirp their endless tune. I don’t think I paid attention to, The passerby’s. But I, was never one to go and quit. On a broken hollow bodied shell, A mind worth keeping for your own and a longing You have never known. But she, would always hide herself in mountains. That we’d all like to live in. With vile endless bits of wisdom we’re now. She, wrote the new testaments. And danced around the zaplock. Learn everything that you are And everything you’re not. She, always thought we’d come again And so she kept on dancing, Brutally unaware of everything. Three doors down from me, There once lived a girl. And funny enough, We used to meet up each day. And we talked and talked about everything Wanted to learn. She said, “Why shouldn’t we always be this way?” So we gathered up all the courage, And now we have No regrets. She, was a dancer from an antique land. A country born out of the sand. A jewel worth keeping for my own, A longing you have never known. We used to meet in summertime, Cicadas would chirp their endless tune. I don’t think I paid attention to, The passerby’s. But I, was never one to go and quit. On a broken hollow bodied shell, A mind worth keeping for your own and A soul left all on its own But you, who hide herself in mountains. That we’d all like to live in. And everybody knows that we’re still living For everything we know But we, will never ever go and stay. To the rumors those around us spill. With vile endless bits of wisdom, The heart began to spill.

Life’s such a bore, In the end, what are we fighting for? The world flashes by in black and white, We’re living in a brand new world That’s filled to the brim with menial strife. So look around and you’ll see, That our lives were never meant to be. Something to put behind our minds, In the end there’s nothing left for those, Who try to find their very own way. Nobody understands, That the endless tides of time are. Pulling us back from the brink even though, Like to even think. Of a way to try and get back home. Countries in distress, Their dreams are plagued by everyone. Those who rely on them will find, Not asking for a state of affairs, In time, wills they all fade. Our flows been disrupted, By those who refuse to grow up. Children will laugh at anything, That they don’t truly understand. Only to find themselves half alive. So can you feel it now? Pretending that nothing, Has changed. The days are getting heavier, Life takes a toll any everyone. Whose ever come across their Way. And, I don’t want a reason to go on All I want is for today to end. Therapeutic sessions in my head, Let Sway With Your Soul Until the end.

Parade 03:22
The spirits who, Coexist on the other side Have some, Good news for everyone. And anyone, who’s ever lost Their way. If you so desire, You can jump in the procession. And follow coast to coast. And find yourself, Lost in your way. So jump in the parade! Find yourself in the parade! With second thoughts held in your pocket, And everybody, Wants to go the exact same way. But I ‘m not sure if this Is the right path for you. Anyone and everyone is Welcome to come along If you do so choose I’ve Got some good news for you. So jump in the parade! Find yourself in the Parade! Well I guess it seems that I’ve Lost myself and I’m still all alone. But times are going, For the best for you. And I don’t know how it feels to be, Or if I’m still traveling on my own But, I’ve got some good news for you. Jump in the parade! Find yourself in the parade! And with shadowed figures, Don’t be afraid! Jump in the parade!

At the age of twelve, I held hands for The very, first time. With a boy. And he said to me, Does this make us, the tiniest Bit strange? At the age of nine, My parents gave me, some very Important news. It’s okay to love, everyone, Just never let them know That you do. So as I grew up, With my mind full of Preinstalled fears, Hopelessness and doubt. I continued to move, on with myself And never gave, life a second thought. And, happy thoughts Dance around. My broken head, And I find that numbers, Go and dance to the light. And, do you, even understand Those, languages that you just cannot Comprehend, but, I don’t think there’s such a thing As wrong or a right. So as I grew up And went to different, places that all Seemed to become red. Imagine my, surprise at the fact that, There was nobody who gave me a second look So as I moved around, From person to person and Dwelled within their own, Self-made dreams. I found that it, Was rather hard, to move onto A new point of view. And, happy thoughts Dance around. My broken head, And I find that numbers, Go and dance to the light. And, do you, even understand Those, languages that you just cannot Comprehend, but, I don’t think there’s such a thing As wrong or a right. So keep thinking happy thoughts!

I find, that in time, Are you really one of them? But I know, this for sure, That I’m still going along. Are you even there? Are you really one of them? Are you even there? Left side, my brain, Occupied only by you. Right side, construction, I’m going to start anew Are you even there? Are you really one of them? Are you even there? My secrets, to myself, I keep them locked up alone. But I’m going to move on, I’m moving on that’s for sure. Are you even there? Are you really one of them? Are you even there? So save me from myself! Why don’t you save me from myself?! Leave your will at the door! And save me from myself! Have I said, this before? I don’t know what I’ve done wrong. But I’ll go, on moving, Just for the end of our song. Are you even there? Are you really one of them? Are you even there? Once more, won’t be long, Before I’m continuing. Going forward, never looking Back on the things that we’ve done. Are you even there? Are you really one of them? Are you even there? Blue moons, that convene, For that the times that we knew of. But I’m not sure if this, Is what I’m going to do. Are you even there? Are you really one of them? Are you even there? So save me from myself! Save me from myself! Leave your will at the door! And save me from myself
