you say whatever like a prayer oh my god, i don't care so guide it into being true deliver me from feeling moved and keep me cool, always cool you pursue the impossible when water gets hotter it's gonna bubble i can hear you whistling on the heat and you're frowning in the street so unimpressed, untroubled, unhumbled devil may care, but so do i devil may care, but that don't mean we're alike your hair is in your eyes you leave it there, i'm not surprised and every time i start to cry you move aside to keep you dry under your breath, i can't make sense of what you said it makes me sad, when life is cruel, you're always cool i got a lot in my heart, but so do you and you can hide if you like but i know it to be true

Froggy 01:33
am i a sucker if i believe it? will you be in love and never leave it? i'm fondest of dreams i can hardly achieve but this one's pretty close, it's right under my nose i forget to be frightened, you're just way too nice to be true and i just can't feel blue the way i used to really try to do i wrote you a letter, it's framed like a picture of brides-to-be kissing, their golden rings missing we're young, but we're growing there's no harm in knowing what you want and i want you, do you want me too? what's left to do? i think it must be you

All OK 03:23
the cloud inside your bedroom, it obfuscates hurt feelings so when the window opens, you quickly tire of sleeping you wrap the blankets tightly, cover up your body it's getting over your head, i knew that you would blame me you're never gonna be what you claim to be you never wanna see what is plain to see you make it go away, you make it all OK you always have the answers, but never quite remember it feels so very simple when everything is maybe and everyone's just crazy and desperate for attention i guess it feels that way sometimes when nothing's on the line and you had a real good time but now i only ever see you with your face wrapped in bubblegum sticking to convenient baby blue walls gluing your eyelashes to the ones on the bottom and you certainly can't hear at all and all i know is i never wanna talk to you again the only joke is i would ever wanna talk to you again the reason that you breathe like you need to breathe is you only believe what is easy you make it go away, but not for me i'd tell your brother i don't know him, but i don't think that he'll be asking anymore

Hello Idol 03:24
no more music today, cause i don't wanna do it today i found a pretty thing i wanna sing, i'm gonna lose it today and i quit poetry as soon as i learned to read and counted souvenirs inside my ears, the tunes were touristy hello idols, are you people? luv ya, writers -your friend, people you said to me from the wall, so 2D on the wall "we're not the same, not at all, you're a god-awful fraud so stop your staring and your weeping" i guess you thought that i was sleeping oh how i am dying to know that i'm alive to you the way a silly dream made me believe i had the right to hello idols, are you evil? liars, writers, perfect people you draw such pretty pictures, i can't even draw a map i thought i found a home, but i'm afraid i built a trap in you tape peels the paint, impression's faint but still remains, "we're not the same"

Haru (春) 02:53
there it goes, another day is over i didn't see it go by, caught it from the other side funny how i never tried i guess that i won't check the time until i have to there i go again, call me dramatic, you'd be right theatrics keep me happy for a while my vaseline smile feels just a little tight, i don't like the way it shines and i'm not lying, i'm still trying i'm just hiding 'til spring trying not to mix up words till nobody can hear them dress my feelings up like weirdos, no one will go near them but it's OK to speak up and to shut up and to choose so i wanna do it often cause i wanna see the proof it's fine a hundred times and forget why i've been hiding from nobody hiding from you, from me hiding just hiding till spring this is my stop, time to get off, time to go on and on what can i want now i don't want it all? time just goes on and on
