I’ve spelled it out, made no mistakes
I can’t go wrong, not even when I try
It took control, had to obey
My words are changing right before my eyes
Don’t pretend you know better than…
No, don’t ever say what you think
It pulled my strings and made me lie
Then showed me words I’d never dare to say
Identities are all at stake
The dictionary doesn’t know our names
Don’t pretend you know better than…
No, don’t ever say what you think

The Body of a Man

On that night when the stars lined up right
I decided to give you a call
I don’t care who’s right, I just thought we might
Give it another try, before we fall
But the look in your eyes came as a surprise
Now I realise there’s no way back
Years have passed by, now the boy’s traumatised
Trapped inside the body of a man
Whatcha trying to say, whatcha trying to say
He barley speaks, ‘cause talking is for the weak
Just keeps everything locked inside
Like a refugee, the boy longs to be free
But he’ll never be as long as he hides
Hiding in his room, safe in his cocoon,
He’s immune to all there is to fear
Feels like his mother’s womb, but he was born too soon
And now the crying is all we ever hear
Whatcha trying to say, whatcha trying to say to me
Though his arms look strong, his strength is gone
Can’t even lift his head
He moves his tongue, words come out wrong
I wish I’d understand
Whatcha trying to say, whatcha trying to say to me

Dragging you along, until the end of your song
I will run, always up front, if you can’t keep up, you’re done
Dragging you along
As long as you don’t trust me to come back when you release me
I will run, always up front, if you can’t keep up, you’re done
Dragging you along
Get off my back
Get off my back
If you don’t remove my muzzle, you will never ever solve this puzzle
Let me bark and let me howl, let me whine and let me growl
As long as you don’t feed me, understand me and believe me
I will run, always up front, if you can’t keep up, you’re done
Dragging you along
Get off my back
Get off my back
Get off my back
Get off my back
(Get off my back)
I will keep on running
(Get off my back)
I will keep on running
(Get off my back)
I will keep on dragging
Please get off my back

The Dream Eater

Show me the world through your glasses
Pink as cotton candy clouds
Through the eyes of the masses
Worming my way through the crowd
What do you see when you look
Or is it just an empty stare
One glance, one glance is all it took
For me to see despair
Dream Eater
When you’re beneath the starry skies
And you feel at ease
I’m patiently waiting in disguise
I’m like a slumbering disease
Dream Eater
I'm coming for you at night
This broken record keeps spinning in the back of your head
