You and I got the same background
We're from a derelict town
Life was kind, but by 25
We chose different paths
I still remember the night
you gave me what I couldn’t to keep
I wish you’d squeeze me in sometime,
but you don’t even get to sleep
Winter with the Thai
By April at the Nile
I don't know what you seek
i kept my end of our deal
I'd like to see you while
you run to catch a flight
If you only stayed with me
I could get my reprieve
What’s the point in a compromise
If we’re taking sides
But who am now I to criticize
Your superficial life

This is a story of one kid
Empty in his chagrin
who was born in the wrong country
left Denver for Berlin
You sold millions, you’re admired, you’re loved
there’s nothing you have to prove
You’re someone I can’t diss,
you’re called the Red Elvis
the world’s at your left foot
yes, we’re all very sorry
but we accept your vote
you’ll be missed by the Party
yes, we have found your note

You wanted to see what’s on my mind
so I packed and waved goodbye to sobriety
those were days of many lives
warm winter days, no anxiety
but I’ve just come to say
I am leaving now
I just don’t want to wait
til I have to lie
And I won’t stay
I still remember the first time
late night, a public park it felt exquisite
Those were days without surprise
Bright light fades as we fail to go through it
but I’ve just come to say
I am leaving now
I just don’t want to wait
til I have to lie
and I can’t stay
my breath runs out
there’s no other way,
I am leaving now

In pursuit of the dream chord
not going to fail x2
In pursuit of the dream chord
I cannot fail
Writing is a real chore
isn’t that shame, isn’t that shame?
writing is a real chore
At times a strain
Reaching for the thrill boy
You can't escape
Aching for the thrill, boy
There's no escape
well now it might seem that way
As if I!d nothing to say
while it’s all words I exhale
that you mistake for disdain
where did my sentences go / where do my expressions go
the vowels, the verbs / those precious words
that expose my core?
I can’t believe the lengths I go to play this game with you again and again
I dress it up as victory but before I know, it slips out of my hand

There goes another day
with no monsters under the bed
Like a knight in a fairytale
slaying monsters in my head
how could I let you go?
when without you i’m nothing
my heart is on a plate
that you tossed away again
I hope it’s still not too late
for me to be a man
while it’s not a love song, no
I admit, without you i'm nothing
