Fake Reality

Another drama in a country I don’t know
Still the news takes a hold of me
Want to feel lighter so I turn to my phone
But the screen swallows me
And I get confused feeling all these feelings
From happy to sad and then all the way back to the start
Wish someone had warned me
We’re living in a fake reality
Blindfolded at the start, unable to see
That it’s all scripted by the big guys
They don’t mind feeding us fat lies
No, we’re living in a fake reality
Now it’s clear to see
Woke up this morning and I felt like I was older than I actually should be
Sad for a second but then I remembered it’s just society
And I get confused feeling all these feelings
From happy to sad and then all the way back to the start
Wish someone had warned me
We’re living in a fake reality
Blindfolded at the start, unable to see
That it’s all scripted by the big guys
They don’t mind feeding us fat lies
No, we’re living in a fake reality
Now it’s clear to see
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Now it’s clear to see
Hmm, hmm, hmm
And we blame ourselves for being lonely
If only we could see we’re not alone
(and we blame and we blame and we blame and we blame and we blame ourselves)
And we blame ourselves for being lonely
If only we could see we’re not alone
(and we blame and we blame and we blame and we blame and we blame ourselves)
And we blame ourselves for being lonely
If only we could see we’re not alone

Golden

Too young to know when I met you
You’d be a constant without question
Like a shadow I could lean on
As we learned to grow and belong
Too young to know when I met you
Too close to hold back our secrets
Cause we thought we’d burn bright forever
Like the flames that kept us talking
Through the night into the morning
Too close to hold back our secrets
Sometimes it seems like you were made up in my dreams
Distant memories and words on my screen
Like time and space froze all the things we used to be
All I want is to hold on
Cause we were golden
Cause we were golden
Too old to take it for granted
All that we’ve kept and what is changing
Now our timelines never match up
But knowing you’re there is enough
Too old to take it for granted
Sometimes it seems like you were made up in my dreams
Distant memories and words on my screen
Like time and space froze all the things we used to be
All I want is to hold on
Cause we were golden
Cause we were golden
Too young to know
Too close to hold
Too old to take it for granted
Too young to know
Too close to hold
Too old to take it for granted
Too young to know
Too close to hold
Too old to take it for granted
Too young to know
Too close to hold
Too old to take it for granted
Too young to know
Too close to hold
Too old to take it for granted
Too young to know
Too close to hold
Too old to take it for granted

All Time High

I felt a little lost til my phone lit up with your name
Wondering how I’ve been ask me all about my day
Say I’ve been looking for happiness in all the wrong places
It’s right in front of me, all I need is your voice to feel okay
So hold me close while the moment lasts
It’s all I know, all I’ll ever ask
Cause with you I’m at my all time high
Don’t remember feeling so damn fine
A tornado couldn’t wipe my smile
As long as I got you
As long as I got you
I felt a bit broken til you opened the door
Glue back my pieces with your words like you did before
Say I’ve been looking for happiness in all the wrong places
It’s right in front of me, don’t need much it’s enough to just be yours
So hold me close while the moment lasts
It’s all I know, all I’ll ever ask
Cause with you I’m at my all time high
Don’t remember feeling so damn fine
A tornado couldn’t wipe my smile
As long as I got you
It’s like we live in make-believe
But I guess that’s how happy feels
Could get used to this reality
As long as I got you
As long as I got you
As long as I got you
As long as I got you
As long as I got you
So hold me close while the moment lasts
It’s all I know, all I’ll ever ask
As long as I got you

Slowing Down

You hold my hand like it’s yours
Know we’ve had brighter days before
And I can’t stop blaming my mind for slowing down
You say ‘hold up, wait love, time needs to pass by’
But I wanna run through the red light
It might make me feel alive
I am sick of being tired
I don’t wanna waste our time
Know you’ll come home and hold me tight
But it’s just another night
Where I don’t feel like I’m myself
I’m scared to lose you in this hell
Oh all I really want is to be better now for you
I am sick of being tired
I don’t wanna waste our time
Know you’ll come home and hold me tight
But it’s just another night
Where I don’t feel like I’m myself
I’m scared to lose you in this hell
Oh all I really want is to be better now for you
For you, for you, for you
You pull me through
With you, with you, will you?
You hold my hand like it’s yours
Know we’ve had harder days before
And I can’t stop smiling, ‘cause you’re still by my side
I say ‘hold up, wait love, I’m fine slowing down’

I hear your voice in the background
But my thoughts are way too loud
I’d swear I answered the question
But you say I’m awfully quiet
Now I can hear myself talking back
The words leaving my lips don’t sound like me
Pull me back to the present
I’m way too high up in my head
Hold me close for a second
Before I slowly drift again
And get stuck in my thoughts,
Stuck in my thoughts
I no longer know where to go, so
Pull me back to the present
I’ll try to stay with you instead
Overthink the conversation
As I replay all the scenes
Did I use the right phrasing
Did I say what I really mean
Know I should go easy on myself
Close my eyes and slowly count to three
Please somebody tell me, I am not the only one
Please somebody tell me, I am not the only one
Oh please somebody tell me, I am not the only one
Oh please somebody tell me, I am not the only one
Pull me back to the present
I’m way too high up in my head
Hold me close for a second
Before I slowly drift again
And get stuck in my thoughts
Stuck in my thoughts
I no longer know where to go, so
Pull me back to the present
I’ll try to stay with you instead

Afterlove

Your heart will never stop growing
Love is filling the whole room
Your art is colouring our days
We are endless, you’re my moon
Complete me in my dreams
Balance on the edge of real
Embrace me like you used to
And our bodies entwine
I’ll live for the two of us
When morning comes
I’m made of afterlove
You made it
I’m made of afterlove
You made it
I’m made of afterlove
Cause you make it through the night
Still feel the way you used to kiss me
Touch is imprinted on my skin
Still fingers linger in the distance
My eyes drown when darkness arrives
Complete me in my dreams
Balance on the edge of real
Embrace me like you used to
And our bodies entwine
I’ll live for the two of us
When morning comes
Spring is leaving, you’re still there
Summer ends and you’re still there
Autumn falls, winter breaks, you’re still there
Spring is leaving, you’re still there
Summer ends and you’re still there
Autumn falls, winter breaks, you’re still there
I’m made of afterlove
I’m made of afterlove
I’m made of afterlove
