Time to celebrate
Time to mourn
Time to live
Time to die
...

I am inside a room
I touch the walls
I stare at the ceiling
I stay like this for days
...

The girl of my life
The girl full of life
Will you be my wife?
You are the person
...

What happens to people when they die?
Do they go in pain
Or they go in peace?
Do they seek forgiveness
...

There's still time
It isn't too late
Board the train
Settle in another town
...

The girl I loved
The girl of my dream
The road you chose
The road I chose
...

It's been like this for so long
Almost like a forgotten song.
They think I'm the clown,
Easy smiles and quick jokes,
...

I saw him and he saw me
In a land so faraway,
At a place neither of one us should've been.
I was faster.
...

Why did you kill me?
I killed you because I had to.
I killed you because they told me to.
Why did you kill me?
...

You want me to tell you
Words from within
You want me to tell you
Those empty eye sockets
...

I am a fish put in a bowl.
They let me eat, they let me sleep,
They watch me grow.
But I am a fish trapped in a bowl.
...

I wanted you to be mine.
I wanted you to know that you were my sunshine.
My friends told me you were more like a landmine.
I didn't care.
...

Whatever happened to us?
We were close
We were inseparable
We used to talk about things
...

You showed me warmth
When the world was cold.
You brought me light
When my road was dark.
...

There's so much pain
There's so much bitterness
Tears keep falling and falling
...

Life is brief.
Life is precious.
Life is precarious.
Life is right in front of you.
...

How many times do you have to fall
To realize what you've been searching for is in front of you?
How many times do you have to be hurt
To realize who you actually love has always been beside you?
...

The early sun is behind my back
Then it climbs over my shoulders
A fiery ball burning
Like it's been burning for the last millions of years
...

Lying there
Staring at the walls
Breathing the sterile air
In and out
...

Don't let the clowns keep you down.
Don't let Negativity make you frown.
When they sing aloud, 'You're done! You've wasted that one chance! '
You have to make them understand.
