Do you wake up in the morning
And wonder “what’s the use?”
Do you feel like playing games
You’re always bound to lose?
Do you long for solitude
And curse your lack of friends?
Do you crave a new beginning
As you want it all to end?
‘Cause that’s
What I did
Every day of my life
So I donate my brain to science
And let them check it out
I donate my brain to science
To see what it’s all about
Because no one
Must endure
What I endured
Will they find what drove mw
Will they find out why?
Will they know what stopped me
Before I even tried?
If they find out what was broken
All those years ago
I only wish that I could be there
I’d really love to know
What went on
In my head
Every day of my life
Everything is beautiful
Gets better every day
It only takes a mind like mine
To throw it all away
So I donate my brain to science
And let them check it out
I donate my brain to science
To see what it’s all about
Because no one
Must endure
What I endured

How to Be like Me
03:38
|
|||
|
Here’s how to be like me
If that’s what you want to be
Never admit to your pain
Let it slowly drive you insane
Never ask for help
Just fail again
Fail all by yourself
Abandon every hope
You know you’ll never cope
Don’t believe in love
Pretend that you
You can rise above
Here’s how to be like me
If that’s what you want to be

There’s no reason to feel bitter
There’s no reason to feel low
There’s no reason to remember
Every reason to let go
You remember everything
She did and said and think she feels to same
She’s forgotten everything about you
Soon she will forget your name
You think that you’re the only one
Who finds it hard to face another day
You should know by now
That nothing stays the same for that long anyway
There’s no reason to feel bitter
There’s no reason to feel low
There’s no reason to remember
Every reason to let go

Rendered Obsolete
03:14
|

|
Now you went a bridge too far
You’re never coming home again
You know exactly where you are
But never could remember when
What hasn’t happened yet
You can’t forget
Rendered obsolete
Rendered obsolete
It was only there and back
But you went another hundred miles
And when in the end you crack
It never seems to be a smile
And turning back
You fade to black
Rendered obsolete
Rendered obsolete

Slip
03:25
|

|
It was not important
What you forgot to do
Now it sticks forever
Like a bad tattoo
You let it slip
Slip right through your fingers
Slip out of your life
You let it slip
You let it slip
From the first time that I saw you
I knew our love would last
We used to have a future
Now we don’t even have a past
I let you slip
Slip right through my fingers
Slip out of my life
I let you slip
I let you slip
I dreamed of great achievements
Triumphs never stopped
I dreamed I could do anything
Then I woke up
And found
I let it slip
Slip right through my fingers
Slip out of my life
I let it slip
I let it slip

Still Young
02:50

Did you ever wake up feeling bold
Never ever doing as you’re told
Do you feel like dancing in the streets
Hugging every stranger that you meet
The way we should have done
When we were still young
Did you ever want to get away
Pretend we can do anything we say
Let’s go around the world in 80 hours
We’ll smell the coffee, then we’ll pick the flowers
The way we should have done
When we were still young
We had the time of our lives
Just think about it
Or if you doubt it
Just think again
Do you ever think of stopping by?
I don’t believe I ever heard you say goodbye
Let us speak the words we left unsaid
Then let me take you to my bed
The way I should have done
When we were still young

I Hate My Mirror
04:46
|
|||
|
As I walk into this cold and empty hall
This is all there is to see
Inside a gilded frame hanging on the wall
I find him staring back at me
I hate my mirror
I never liked that guy
I never liked that guy
I hate my mirror
I’d like to kill that guy
I’d like to kill that guy
He tells my secrets – even those that I don’t know
I hear him whisper as I pass
I try to speak to him – I curse him as I go
But he can’t hear me through the glass
Still I keep thinking there must be a reason why
I see this too familiar face
And though I watch him age, I’ll never watch him die
He’s all set to take my place
I hate my mirror
I never liked that guy
I never liked that guy
I hate my mirror
I’d like to kill that guy
I’d like to kill that guy

Memory

Each day goes by
Like the one before
But not like the one before
At all
We’d like to think
When we are here no more
We’ll meet somewhere and talk
About before
So we pretend
Though it makes no sense
Oh, how we believe
In memory
Oh, how we believe
In memory
In memory
We have it all
All there ever is
But still we like to think
There’s more than this
So we have heard
Though it’s just absurd
Oh, how we believe
In memory
Oh, how we believe
In memory
In memory
