A million steps that separate the dots on a map are
Like dynamite wick, not the obstacle to blame
The way it burns with swelling sound keeps rising on and on
Until it fades we'll keep the motion sustained
This city sleeps but I will not
"Keep walking down the pavement"
My hair got soaked and feet are tired
Of the streets I've wandered through and through
Rain incinerates
A million steps that separate the dots on a map are
Like dynamite wick, not the obstacle to blame
The way it burns with swelling sound keeps rising on and on
Until it fades we'll keep the motion sustained
And this one brings me down with sun
Raving my face, blurring my sight
Between my sleeps, feel I should leave
Dust gets me used to hold my breath
Keep this in mind
This is the one
Spotlight is on
The curtain's off
Those million steps
The longest shaft I've made
It's here in front
Of me tonight
Could you ever dream of this?
Could you ever taste
The bitter side of the medal?

Lift me up as that's the thing that you do best
To hunt me down was not an easy path to take
I've been wandering here for years
To get a glance of silhouette
The shell we both tried building up so well
Under your feet the gardens bloom
And I have noticed everything
Tonight we shine and again we will
What I want to say is I'm lucky that you stay
I know I swear too much, I drink too much
I work too much and sleep much less
You know that either way, you're a shrine for me to pray
A star that lightens the thing inside my chest
And maybe
I'm the hero for you, baby
Just don't let me slip
Still melting
Everytime time I see you, crazy
I hope it's not a dream
Oh I fought so well
To stay alone
To stay alone
What I want to say is I'm lucky that you stay
I know I swear too much, I drink too much
I work too much and sleep much less
You know that either way, you're a shrine for me to pray
A star that lightens the thing inside my chest
No chance here to resist
For me to win this one
As when I knew it, I was willingly and humbly going down
Have you seen her smile?
Oh, have you seen her smile?
I dream it every night
That's love

Changes
Well, everything changes
With weather too unbearable for this bear to bare
Kiss my lips, and fly them to a final wish
'Just to live like our ancestors did'
I will never swim again
Nothing will occur to me as another salty ocean

Have you ever thought
Just how many times
Did I want to run?
Or ever wondered you
At least if I'm still hurt
After all those fights?
Everything you said was 'I'm sorry, son'
And I did swallow them
Every bitter word, every hit you land
Who is your moron now?
Am I am a moron still
To you?
I
I am not
I'm not afraid of you
Not anymore
Nor I'll ever be
A fucking copy of yourself
Oh do you still recall?
Do you remember
The only bitter day
I gave you the second place?
Did you ever try
Just to figure out
Or get a single hint why?
Did you ever care?
Did you ever notice
The others beside you?
Do you want to know what I do everytime you hurt me?
I just try to imagine that 27-or-something guy, yeah
Who takes me into a snowy night or evening or whatever it was back then
And gets me down the slope
Yeah, on that wrecked sledge
Then he says: 'Don't worry, mom is soon to come back home
Just when your brother comes along
Yeah, mama's soon to get back home
When your brother comes along
Yeah, when your brother comes along'

Writing way too many songs about myself these days
So here's another one
About being drunk, about staying up late
About missing friends on the other side
About running circles and consequences
Of coughing up the insides every morning
The hindsight is 20/20
But we won't remember it anyway
I'm staying off of bending elbows too much
And the echoes die away
The girl who saved me, I even called her
So why is everything in a key color?
Buried in the sheets again, won't look out the window
Or find the spark that fires me up
In the corner of my eye there is a blurry spot
And I've spent years trying to make it out
My go-to jokes are Pilgrim quotes
And toaster bathing, but reality is
I'm just scared that if I jump off
I'll change my mind before I hit the ground
And that's the whole story
The hindsight is 20/20
But we won't remember it anyway
I'm staying off of bending elbows too much
And the echoes die away
Singing along to our favorite songs
Without my voice cry breaking
Mom's getting better, today I called her
So why is everything in a key color?
(Everything, everything)
Follow me into the key color
(Everywhere, everything)
See us crying in a key color
(Everything, everything)
Another summer in a key color
(Everywhere, everything)
It's hard to make it through the key color

Just like the midnight rain I'll stop
Don't wonder, we will have it all
Just see us coming young and wild
Setting the station
Life would leave me on a shelf
There's no expiration
You can march me through pavement
Just try to give me hope
(Just try to keep me whole)
By the swings you used to spend all days long
I'll help you through the stroll
Got so slick
Follow, shallow
We are hollow
And sewing myself again
What if we put on the scratch I got
Those some shall join us both as well
Changing the station
You're done, I hardly could tell
Should we still come in sharp and wild
Selling the patience
Life would leave me on the shelf
There's no expiration
You can march me through pavement
Just try to keep me whole
By the swings you used to spend all days long
I'll help you through the stroll
Hollow, we'll try
Shallow we are
Hollow I know
Follow, follow
We got so slick, so rude, so perfect
Will or should or can we go on?

We're just lonely polar bears
And oh dear god we're so sick
Getting fucked like dinosaurs
And it doesn't take a scientist
We're getting fucked like dinosaurs
And it doesn't take a scientist
To help us, dear god we need this now
I'm scared I'll let all my cubs down
I'm scared I'll let all my cubs down
I'm scared I'll let all my cubs down
I'm scared I'll let all my cubs down
I'm scared I'll let all my cubs down
I'm scared I'll let all my cubs down
I'm scared I'll let all my cubs down
I'm scared

So you smile in your sleep
In the hospital east wing
I'm still holding your hands in mine
Cowardly
So you smile in your sleep
Through the monitor beeps
And the raindrops patter
Goodnight, goodbye
How you noticed that the ice'd cracked on the lake
As we were walking along the shoreline
Then the kids came to hang the christmas lights
Oh the pictures you took that time
Shovel the snow at the nightfall
Get some wood for the fireplace
You hum along to a song we both
Know so well and I hold my gaze
Pinch me, I'm dreaming
Of our life worth living
So you smile in your sleep
Naps are few and far between
Kids run wild asking questions all the time
So you smile in your sleep
Half-awake in a daydream
With our hands entwined we're going to
Make it through
With each and every heartbeat missed
With every mile a memory of you
Within the books and the pages turned
And every calm and every storm
Sure we'll lose some on the way
But we'll carry on
Share our scars and split our roads
Together for the rest of it
'Will you?'
And your glance lights up the street
'I do'
We hold it from this day forward
Pinch me
So you smile in your sleep
While I'm struggling to find you
If I ever will, oh if I ever will
So you smile in your sleep
As I'm thinking of ways
To think of ways to find the сourage to
Say hello to you

I know you always feel so down
So reckless and aside
You're always wasting every weekend
Just to prove it's right
And every tear you give away
It makes my heart to hush
And every take that you pretend
Would push us off, could you just
Stay awake?
Yeah, I tend to generalize
We're gonna take it again, don't get suspicious
Let's leave all of these sheets unfold
Inside the nerve now and then, the cogs are missing
It's not the way that I was told
The bitter drinks are what is left
Inside the chest it dwells, I know
But thrills shall pass
I know it feels so simply straight
I'm gone it took me far beneath
But there's a time for me to bring up
This little star of mine
And none of love was ever spilled
You know the things we fear
But there's the...
Ah, there's no buts, just what I'm about to say is
Stop crying all the time and simply say again
Thrills shall pass
We're gonna take it again, don't get suspicious
Let's leave all of these sheets unfold
Inside the nerve now and then, the cogs are missing
It's not the way that I was told
The bitter drinks are what is left
This fucking year has gone so mad
I'm just glad for the couple of things I had
The things that made it a little bit brighter
Just, just a little bit easier for me
The thing is I was just not alone
No, I was just not alone
All I wanted was to thank
You for everything you tried to do
We're gonna take it again, don't get suspicious
Let's leave all of these sheets unfold
Inside the nerve now and then, the cogs are missing
It's not the way that I was told
The bitter drinks are what is left
Inside the chest it dwells, I know
Thrills
Shall
Pass
