"Madness Takes Its Toll"

(2000-2001)

The Period Before

Has banishment

Finally corroded my reasoning

And destroyed my faith in mercy and love

Like a disobedient child

I played with fire

The reward tastes sour


Others become so unscrupulous

So numb

So brainless

So lifeless


And please

Don't let me speak

In the language of hate and fear

I seek peace


The period before

The thief of love

The period before

The theft of my love


Have our instincts

The will to forgiveness and fairness

Possessing an inherited nobility

Like a star in the sky

I find this in you

And the whole caresses you


Do others act so unwillingly

So powerless

So soulless

So despondent


And all is overshadowed

By the behavior

Of an inexplicable nature

I seek peace


The period before

The thief of love

The period before

The theft of my love


I apologize

But this will hurt


My soul burns

At the thought

Of those indescribable horrors


The period before

The thief of love

The period before

The theft of my love

The Brute

A light wind breeze

Veiled my young face

With a fine rain

Looking for someone special

To play with for a while

Then I saw you standing

On the grounds

At the top

Of the mountain next to the hotel


In the rain a brute

Was surgically carved

Into a loving boy

That you'll never see again

As a friend

Seeing as a friend

After that day's kiss

But always

In my dreams

Your beckoning lips

Come to kiss me goodnight

The Ninth Day

After an evening like the first

After the temptation of the second

After the lovemaking on the third

After the question on the fourth

After the reflection on the fifth

After the addiction on the sixth

After exhaustion on the seventh

After the decision on the eighth

On the ninth day

I broke up with you


But you haven't lost me

You will never lose me

The past is only past

And I am no longer required

I'll always be there for you

'Cause I love you too much

But then as a friend

After your betrayal

With the other one


After an evening like the first

After the temptation of the second

After the lovemaking on the third

After the question on the fourth

After the reflection on the fifth

After the addiction on the sixth

After exhaustion on the seventh

After the decision on the eighth

On the ninth day

I broke up with you

What Is On The Other Side Of Izegem

Life

Leads you to forgiveness

Through a side street

Away from evil


Being able

To survive life

Is an utopia

That never stands still

And always continues


Drives on the main road

To what is on the other side of Izegem

To find

A detour there


Life

Can give a strange journey

If there is no one

Who can show you the way


Life

Is learning to experience

Wherever you are going

Or how you get there


Drives on the main road

To what is on the other side of Izegem

To find

A detour there

Say Something

The afternoon grows old

And the evening is still young

With a glass on the table

I laugh at the events

Before me

Rolling and crashing out of control

With that result of the spheres


The evening is getting old

The night is still young

With a glass in hand

I look at the bodies

In front of me

Jumping up and down in a trance

To the beat of the music


Say something with tenderness

Say something sweet

Say something out of love

Say something with feeling


The evening is old

The night doesn't get any younger

With a glass at the bar

I talk with a sea of time

In front of me

Listening and questioning in balance

At the pace of time


The night grows old

The morning is young

With the last glass

I search for the words

For me

To step out with her

In beauty the fantastic night


Say something with tenderness

Say something sweet

Say something out of love

Say something with feeling

Break Of Hearts

You don't want to be alone

I don't want to be alone

You want

I don't want yet

And no

I don't prefer loneliness to you


And I am powerless

The feeling is too powerful

Where did the arrangement go

To take it slow

I'm falling head over heels for you


Oh God please

Insure me against

The break of hearts

Give me some assurance

Break of hearts

Stay away


And I am hopeless

The feeling is too hopeful

Where has the agreement gone

To take it slow

Head over heels I run to you


Oh God please

Insure me against

The break of hearts

Give me some assurance

Break of hearts

Stay away


You feel rejected

You may feel cheap

You feel something for me

I feel uneasy

I feel inexperienced

I feel something for you


And now I'm sorry

For what I just didn't do


Oh God please

Insure me against

The break of hearts

Give me some assurance

Break of hearts

Stay away

Just Like It Never Was

I find no words for it

But I feel security with you

I discover my certainty in you

And yet I have no words for it


I can't find words for it

But I feel I can trust you

I discover that I can rely on you

And yet I have no words for it


Just like it never was

Exactly as it should be


I find no words for it

But I feel kinship with you

I discover the next step with you

And yet I have no words for it


I find no words for it

But I feel that I will worship you

I find out that I will be with you

And yet I have no words for it


Just like it never was

Exactly as it should be


I find no words for it

But I feel protection with you

I discover glorification in you

And yet I have no words for it


Just like it never was

Exactly as it should be


How can one

Describe the indescribable

How can one

Pronounce the unspeakable

How can one

Measure the immeasurable

How can one

Know the unknown

How can anyone

Explain the inexplicable

How can anyone

Be unhappy with you

Eclipse

Night falls outside

I gotta let you go

And I don't want you to go


Night falls outside

I have to take you away

And I don't want you to leave


Eclipse

The light goes out

The fire must be extinguished

Total blackout

After the last embrace

After the last hug

After the last touch

After the last kiss


Night falls outside

I have to say goodbye

And I don't want to cry


Night falls outside

I have to stay alone

And I don't want you to say I'm sorry


Eclipse

The light goes out

The fire must be extinguished

Total blackout

After the last embrace

After the last hug

After the last touch

After the last kiss


Eclipse

The light goes out

The fire must be extinguished

Total blackout

Total devastation

After the last embrace

After the last hug

After the last touch

After the last kiss

Eclipse Divide Two

Night falls outside

You think I'm so sweet

And you see in me a sweetheart


Night falls outside

You find me so soft

And you don't want me to wait for you


Eclipse

Divide two hearts

Not in two

I want to survive

And my head is dead


Night falls outside

You like me so much

And you don't want to piss me off


Night falls outside

You think I'm so weird

And you don't see us together


Eclipse

Divide two hearts

Not in two

I want to survive

And my head is dead


And yet you lie down with me

And yet you hold me

And yet you caress my hand

And yet you kiss me softly

Claws On You

It's nice to see you

Then I see the hunger

There in your eyes

I feel as weak

As a pussy


You are like an angel

Devil talkative

You talk about the pain

That leaks

From your dark secret


And I discover I discover

Suddenly his claws on you

I discover I discover

Suddenly his claws on you

The claws carve deep

Into

The fragile center of

Your soul


And if anyone ever makes you sad

Call me

You deserve better

Don't pull away

I am all you have


No, I won't preach

Don't give you pain

Forgive yourself

Alone


And I discover I discover

Suddenly his claws on you

I discover I discover

Suddenly his claws on you

The claws carve deep

Into

The fragile center of

Your soul


I discover I discover

Suddenly his claws on you

Old Acquaintances

When I think back

To what once was

To the silent hint

That life gave us

Together

And hand in hand

As lovers

In the summer that was

In the woods

In the summer that was

Where people went hustling

Where the light forgave us

But our world has

Not continued to move on

Old acquaintances

Is all that remains

That's all we have become


When I think back

To everything that was beautiful then

Remember

We would never ever

Forget each other

And we promised

To marry together

But the passage of time

Worn out everything

And our future was

Never known

But our world has

Not continued to move on

Old acquaintances

With too little homesickness

Old

Estranged acquaintances


When I think back

Create Media

I'm now walking among the swine

Ready to be killed

And forgotten in the crowd

On the table with some bread and wine

At the table with some bread and pain


Then we make the media

Then we get the media

Then we create the media


Fortunately you are no longer here

And you will be spared the suffering

I only bear the sick sore

When everything clears up with darkness


Then we make the media

Then we get the media

Then we create the media


Killing is happening in Africa

In America, it is murdered

Being interrogated in Belgium

Truth and justice not heard

And the common little man smashed into the ground


Then we make the media

Then we get the media

Then we create the media

Feel The Rush

Nobody has time yet

Everyone makes time

We still have to go to the hairdresser quickly

We have to go to the bakery quickly

We need to get to a buddy quickly


Feel the rush

It's going fast

The world moves faster

Than it revolves


Nobody is resting yet

Everyone lives in turmoil

We still need to know something

We have to eat quickly

We have to hurry before we forget


Feel the rush

It's going fast

The world moves faster

Than it revolves


No time

No time

Worldwide

A shortage

To peace

To food

To courage

To equality

But above all to time


Feel the rush

It's going fast

The world moves faster

Than it revolves


And we do it slowly

We'll see where we end up

Under the spell of desire

On The Edge

On the verge of madness

On the brink of hatred

On the edge of self-control

On the verge of excess


Tell me where we are now

In this life

In society

In the future


On the verge of the end

On the edge of the beginning

On the edge at the horizon

On the brink of alienation


Tell me where we're going

With ourselves

With our problems

With our disputes


On the edge of truth

On the brink of turmoil

On the edge of openness

On the edge of lust


Tell me what's happening

Between the people

Between day and night

Between the countries

Between us

Back On Target

Back on target

I'm back on target

On the road with the past

Alone with my sinner life

Only with my niggling

I'm coming out of a huge fog bank

And I'm sailing out

Raise the anchor

With my compass of sorrow

With my yacht of dreams


Back on target

I'm back on target

On the road in the present

Without my sweetheart

Without my dearest

I'm heading for nowhere

And I'm sailing on

Turn the helm

Away from my mountains of pleasure

Away from my cave of love


Back on target

I'm back on target

Towards the future

Together with my candy cat

Along with my pleasure spool

I'm heading for my harbor

And I dock

Drop the anchor

By my cavern of glory

By my urn of life

Hero Of The People

You see in me

A hero of the people

But I am not

A hero of the people

It is you

Who lives in a cloud


You are unhappy

With him uncomfortable

But you see an escape

He trusts the caress


You fall in love

Not with your friend

But it's not allowed

He still lives with grief


You see in me

A hero of the people

But I am not

A hero of the people

It is you

Who lives in a cloud


You want to seduce me

Your friend is going to suffer

But you don't care

He is not who you love


You force yourself on me

Not we're breaking

But I'm not an offer

He's got a rotting heart


You see in me

A hero of the people

But I am not

A hero of the people

It is you

Who lives in a cloud


You think I'm great

You think I'm heroic

I'm a rebel

You think I'm tough

But you see what you want to see

And you hear what you want to hear


You see in me

A hero of the people

But I am not

A hero of the people

It is you

Who lives in a cloud


You kiss me

And everything is too late

The future is murdered

Hero Of The People Part Two

And we played tag

In the woods of the domain

And we played hunter

In the meadows of the domain

And we went on an adventure

On the grounds of the domain

And we went exploiring

In the sewers of the domain

Hero of the people part two

And you loved me

No One Will Get Out Of Here Alive

After the months

Of fighting

You gave yourself to me

Finally, you gave in


But the reward

Does not show

Conquest

Requires a great deal of sacrifice


No one will get out of here alive

If we keep going


Weakened by sleep

And irritable

By closedness

And by suspicion

Of the secrets

Dr. Jekyll becomes

The Mister Hyde

The beast dominates

No one

No one gets out of here alive

After the shutdown


So, what is left for us

To do

Than find our happiness

In a moment

Than find our happiness

In a moment

To Concentrate

Is all then lost

For there is no way out

Our hearts hurt

Our souls bloodied


Then was it all for nothing

The war for some love

Kills two lovers

With pain

Their suffering is accompanied by

Time


To concentrate

Conversation

Until the answer shows itself

And the doubt

Pushes the button

Forever


People see that the two don't belong

Together

There is always something

And

Our hearts ache

Something strange is

Going on


These two can't live without

Each other

Then hope lurks in death

The color of

Love and hate is red

Like blood

That flows in both


To concentrate

Conversation

Until the answer shows itself

And the doubt

Pushes the button

Forever


To concentrate

Conversation

Until the answer shows itself

And the doubt

Pushes the button

Forever


Then all is lost

To concentrate

The Camera Doesn't Lie

Where is the beginning

That I need

To see you as you are

Open and close

Playful and serious

You have donated your

Heart


Incredibly real

Is what you are

Wonderfully beautiful

My Valkyrie


The camera doesn't lie

You are a delight to the

Eye

The camera doesn't lie

He makes proofs

Of what you do not see


The dark side

Can't compete with the light

That you bear witness

Of appearance and

Character

And I still forget

The sound

Of your smile


The camera doesn't lie

He captures a beautiful

Image

The camera doesn't lie

I can't live without

Beauty anymore


You have a lot of value

And I freeze

You on my retina

An image of splendor

A showpiece of the gods

A work of art of nature


The camera doesn't lie

Everything is what it is

The camera doesn't lie

There's nothing wrong with you


The camera doesn't lie

Everything is what it is

The camera doesn't lie

There's nothing wrong with you


The camera doesn't lie

Déjà Vu All Over Again

She was sexy

And the prettiest in class

She was always in the mood

For things that weren't allowed

Easy

Is what suited her

Let her think of pleasure

And she relapses

Let her taste pleasure

And she falls again

Déjà vu all over again


When the sun shined

And her body then

Warmed

She only got one thought

That burned within her

Flesh against flesh

And the blood that rose

With sweat

She longed

For me back

She longed

For me back

Déjà vu all over again

Déjà vu all over again


At the window frame

She suddenly took me tight

And pressed her forms

Affectionately against me

I want to make love to you now

Is what she said next

But not tomorrow

Then there's someone else

For no money I gave in

To her

For no money

For no money I gave in

To her

For no money

Déjà vu all over again

Déjà vu all over again

Madness Takes Its Toll

Afraid of what moves

Are you sometimes

If you then panic

Am I the victim

What you respond to

So merciless


And then follow

The words of pain

Make sure again

That there can be no future


Madness takes its toll

In uncertainty

Madness takes its toll

With unreasonableness

Madness takes its toll

For carelessness

Takes its toll


The price is paid

The reward sours

A strange taste

Spoils it in the long run

Anger is what I vomit

Before an attack


When I think of you

And I know

What I feel

And I see

Who you are to me

Forget


Madness takes its toll

In uncertainty

Madness takes its toll

With unreasonableness

Madness takes its toll

For carelessness

Takes its toll


Where will this go

Are we growing apart

Or is there still hope

'Cause I care about you

Because I love you

Because you have value

More than what you suspect


Madness takes its toll

In uncertainty

Madness takes its toll

With unreasonableness

Madness takes its toll

For carelessness

Takes its toll


Madness takes its toll

Madness

Lives At Stake

I see you slipping away

Farther and deeper away

And I can't help it

You are on your own

Friends stand aside

And you see no way out

Out of trouble

Out of this mess


Everything keeps changing

Do you also feel the race

Against the hourglass

Let us hope

That luck

Assists us


With many lives at stake

Don't think of yourself

But of her

Lives at stake

Time is far too precious

Though pain often comes

To take away my sleep

She is worth everything


Why does everything

Have to be so hard

With the lies

Hidden in the truth

Does our love dry up like

Drops in the desert

Or do we form

Oases


Everything keeps changing

Do you also feel the race

Against the hourglass

Let us hope

That luck

Assists us


Lives are at stake

Don't think about yourself

But to her

Lives at stake

Time is far too precious

Pain comes though

To take away my sleep


Lives are at stake

Don't think about yourself

But to her

Lives at stake

Time is far too precious

Pain comes though

To take away my sleep

She is worth everything

Surrender To The Dark

Sunshine and storm

Between us

But what you did for me then

Darling

If the definition of

Getting true wisdom is

Knowing how much one doesn't know

Then I turn out to be the smartest


But pay the dark

Pay the miracle

Warm affection

Pay to the dark

Pay the miracle

Warm attachment

On time


Of light and dark

A cell with soundproof

Walls

And no matter how loud you sing

For someone

There's no one there anymore

Who knows what you still want

Or desire

And the questions are on

Your face


But back to the dark

To the miracle again

In all sincerity

Passes

Pay to the dark

Pay the miracle

Warm attachment

On time


The fire still glows

Just now

Couples in love walked

Over the busy streets

Looking for their time

Which is indivisible

You clung to my arms


The Angel and the Devil

This fascinates you

Well indeed

And you fascinate me

You seem so fragile

When the tears flow

I feel their impact

So cold

The lost innocence

Is there


Because surrender to the dark

Surrender to the miracle

And the servitude

Goes wide

Surrender to the dark

Surrender to the miracle

Warm attachment

In time


The fire still glows

For the lovebirds

On their way to their nest

Things change

You know


I went up to the wall

For you

Withstood the fire in the

Apartment building

Stood face to face with

Your claw

I played along with the

Show

Let everything stop

Very soon now

And continue working

On the faithfulness

Show each other all the

Repentance

The proof of man

And woman


'Cause you were all

I wanted

No Sleep Until Stasegem

Do not forget it

No sleep tonight

No sleep until Stasegem

Because tonight is


Night of the dead

Night of the monsters

Night of the monstrosities

Night of the Living Dead

Night of the demons

Night of the non-living

Night of the undead

Night of us


Dance their dance

Sing their song

And you are

In the middle of it

Softer than soft

Warmer than warm

More beautiful than beautiful

More real than real

Neater than neat

Quieter than quiet

More faithful than faithful

Cleaner than clean

Sweeter than sweet

And temptation hovers between us

No sleep until Stasegem

From The Rich To The Poor

I saw you standing

On the span

Of the tennis site

We started talking

Although we spoke another language

This was not my place

You were not at your place

So, we agreed

Where we could be together


I wanted to kiss you

On the remains

Of the ruin

With the wrong words

Of a bad translation

You had misunderstood

Even though my words were banal

You let me commit

But that is an other story


From the rich to the poor

Love has no street value

Love has no money value

From the rich to the poor

Love gives people warmth

Love gives hearts warmth

From the rich to the poor

From the poor to the rich


At the end

Of the days gone by

We said goodbye

On the outskirts of the city

Above the highway on the bridge

You took place I drove past

And I saw you standing

With your hand in the air

You disappeared from view


From the rich to the poor

Love has no street value

Love has no money value

From the rich to the poor

Love gives people warmth

Love gives hearts warmth

From the rich to the poor

From the poor to the rich

The Photo

You were for me

What the Mona Lisa is

For a painter

You were for me

What the Venus of Milo is

For an artist

You were for me

What a discovery is

For a photographer

Love makes blind


As the photographer

I take you in my lens

And I will record you

For the centuries that are still coming

The photo

A snapshot

As a photo certificate

Which shows

That I spoke the truth

When I said

You could not be trusted

That you were after me

That you were planning something

The Conspiracy

She had a crush on me

And I was free at that time

She was the most intelligent of all

And I spoke to her with charming language

She was the most spoiled of all the girls

And I knew something about flowers and bees


This was the start of the conspiracy

The malice of girls

With the two of us as cannon food

I felt like dirt on the floor

And tried to help you

But there was no escaping it

The saving of humiliation

Was not forthcoming after the unveiling

Of the conspiracy


When reading your vulnerable feelings

When reading your love sentences

When reading your found happiness

And you shouted it from the rooftops

Told every listening ear

To every member of the conspiracy


This was the start of the conspiracy

The malice of girls

With the two of us as cannon food

I felt like dirt on the floor

And tried to help you

But there was no escaping it

The saving of humiliation

Was not forthcoming after the unveiling

Of the conspiracy


I'm sorry

Everything went like this

I understand

If you still hate me 

To Go Underground

Who is she

She bears the name of the water

Who is she

She lives in the city on the water

But who is she


She wants to go underground

Show nothing to the world

She wants to go underground

Nobody can know

What's going on in her


Who is she

She knows me from the mainland

Who is she

She sold her heart to the mainland

But who is she


She wants to go underground

Show nothing to the world

She wants to go underground

Nobody can know

What's going on in her


Who is she

She's in love

Who is she

She's falling in love

But who is she


She wants to go underground

Show nothing to the world

She wants to go underground

Nobody can know

What's going on in her

Nobody is concerned about it

It is her love life

And the dream that escapes me

Straight Under It

At the birthday party

Where we have been together

I gave the mind

For whom do I give the most


Straight under it

There is thunder

And no wonder

I can do without


On the dance floor

Where our ship was passed

I was lurking

And was at the helm


Straight under it

There is thunder

And no wonder

I can do without


During a ritual dance

Where we were together

I saw an opportunity

I died by a lance


Straight under it

There is thunder

And no wonder

I can do without


It's not fair

To you

I still easily think

Of that other woman


Straight under it

There is thunder

And no wonder

I can do without

Illegal Foreigners

It couldn't be

It should not be

You belonged to the snake

To all the temptation

You tasted the forbidden fruit

And were lost forever


We

Illegal foreigners

In the garden of Eden

Friends for life

Forgot in the past


It couldn't be

It should not be

But your heart was not silent

As Sesame it opened

And showed me your treasures

Yet you continued to crave the reptile


We

Illegal foreigners

In the garden of Eden

Friends for life

Forgot in the past


He will ever drop you

He will once abandon you

Someday he will betray you


We

Illegal foreigners

In the garden of Eden

Friends for life

Forgot in the past

And lost in dreams

Powerless

I dreamed of milky skin

And golden hair

Of a voice like a songbird

And a smile that illuminates the room


Powerless

I still have feelings

Powerless

Only a weakling gives up

When it momentarily gets difficult

I was powerless

When you exchanged my heart

For another


I dreamed of a gentle girl

I loved

And who would have loved me

If her life was not wiped out that early


Powerless

I still have feelings

Powerless

Only a weakling gives up

When it momentarily gets difficult

I was powerless

When you exchanged my heart

For another

Growing Pains

The eyes spoke volumes

And I was instantly lost

I took a step

You took a leap

And before we enjoyed it

We became friends


Growing pains appear

On the way to adulthood

Growing pains disappear

Give it some time

But what you did to me

Caused me a lot of anguish


The deeds spoke volumes

And I began to dream of you

I was looking forward to you

You longed for me

And before we knew it

We became inseparable


Growing pains appear

On the way to adulthood

Growing pains disappear

Give it some time

But what you did to me

Caused me a lot of anguish


The words spoke volumes

And I wanted to share everything with you

I asked the question

You procrastinated

And before we knew it

We became strangers


Growing pains appear

On the way to adulthood

Growing pains disappear

Give it some time

But what you did to me

Caused me a lot of anguish


It wasn't until a few months later

That I read the true facts between the announcements

In the newspaper

Your marriage

Imitatress

You want to be like me

You want to act like me

You want to be with me forever


You see strength in me

You want to be strong

You see love in me

You want to be in love


But I'm not looking for an imitatress

So, stop the chatter

Your life becomes a blunder

When you deny yourself

And finally offered yourself


You just don't want to be alone

You just don't want to do anything yourself

You want eternal security


You see courage in me

You want to be brave

You see in me freedom

You want redemption


But I'm not looking for an imitatress

So, stop the chatter

Your life becomes a blunder

When you deny yourself

And finally offered yourself


But I won't go wrong

If I keep you at a distance

I know what you don't know

When I make the decision


But I'm not looking for an imitatress

So, stop the chatter

Your life becomes a blunder

When you deny yourself

And finally offered yourself

Unusual Suspects

Let me help and you'll make it

Fleeing solves nothing

When you least suspect it

See what happens

And solve problems together

Is what you want too

But now I don't believe in it anymore

The wind stops


And the more I try to understand

Of what lies before me

The permanently more confident I am

Everything is tight

A better day will come

Just keep believing

The sun rises over the city

To promise

Unusual young suspects

Farther


How can I answer a question

If I don't know them

I kept telling myself

That I really know you

Maybe I'm reading the signs wrong

I knew who I was

And how everything around me is

In the puddle


For unusual suspects

Unusual suspects

Unusual young suspects

Because tonight I'm back

Because tonight I'm back

Arrived at the start

I can't see anyone now

Life has no meaning anymore

Makes no sense anymore

The Betrayal

Why will I never be good enough

For you

Why do I misunderstand everything

About you

Why can't I be happy

With you


Why don't I have decent manners

For you

Why can't I work with pleasure

From you

Why can't I sleep

With you


But I see the betrayal

Love then becomes hate

When you stand there in front of me

And your soft voice spills

Into screams and hard deeds

Because of the road you're taking

I'm going completely out of my mind too

Protection has no benefit

Everything is already much too late

For you don't listen to advice


Why do I have so much patience

For you

Why do I try to do everything

For you

Why should I be wary

Of you


Why do I have to prove myself

To you

Why am I not wearing the right clothes

For you

Why can't I be myself

With you


But I see the betrayal

Love then becomes hate

When you stand there in front of me

And your soft voice spills

Into screams and hard deeds

Because of the road you're taking

I'm going completely out of my mind too

Protection has no benefit

Everything is already much too late

For you don't listen to advice


Why is my haircut not good enough

For you

Why can't I ever do anything right

For you

Why can't I be quiet

With you

Why can't I talk to others

From you

Why do I have to wait only

For you

Why bad things happen

To you


But I see the betrayal

Love then becomes hate

When you stand there in front of me

And your soft voice spills

Into screams and hard deeds

Because of the road you're taking

I'm going completely out of my mind too

Protection has no benefit

Everything is already much too late

For you don't listen to advice


I felt hunter and hunted

And the madness took its toll

Somewhere in the battle for you

Somewhere in the perseverance for you

I lost myself

I am no longer who I was


Why are you afraid of everything

Why do you feel so weak

Why are you acting so cowardly

Why don't you enjoy the little things

Why do you feel abandoned

Why are you chasing everyone away

Why do you think you're so bad

Why don't you allow yourself happiness

Why do you blame yourself so much
