Melancholia 03:37
lyrics
buy track
Verse Looking back you find that time has been unkind You look for the reason and the rhyme but it cannot be found A melancholia that starts deep and ascends ‘til it’s out of reach A sharp spiral of woes and fights with foes you had not foreseen You try to look keen but the walls inside crumble and you begin to stumble Chorus They say chin up darling, give us a smile But how can you smile when all the while You know it’s a lie and all you want to do is cry And rest… In Melancholia... Melancholia… Melancholia… Melancholia… Verse You get up and paint the beauty on Fill in the cracks from where you’ve been broken Breath in the melancholia that burns and yearns within For what they see is not you at all - a mask of war used to settle scores You try to live up to what’s expected of you - but to hell with that, you do you Chorus They say chin up darling, give us a smile But how can you smile when all the while You know it’s a lie and all you want to do is cry And rest… In Melancholia... Melancholia… Melancholia… Melancholia… Bridge How can they know What you should and should not show Your emotions are your own How dare they say Their way is the only way You’re not there (just) to brighten their day You feel the pressure broil inside You try to leave but can’t escape this ride You toss and turn from side to side Chorus They say chin up darling, give us a smile But how can you smile when all the while You know it’s a lie and all you want to do is cry And rest… In Melancholia... Melancholia… Melancholia… Melancholia…

The raindrops fall and pool in your soul What happened to the sun and all the fun that joined along Those were the days we loved and saved But now it’s just raindrops dropping in the hole that is your soul You search for love and companionship, but that side of life is on the blink We’re pretty when we smile and ugly when we cry That’s why we cry alone in closets of despair that we call home The tears that join the raindrops of pain we know too well Inside you feel hollow - that’s caused by the sorrow The joy you can’t borrow, you’re at the end of the line The time that you had to spend is now gone It’s joined the raindrops in the crevasse, the place that once was your soul You’re feeling insecure cause the future is unsure Who knows what you are, what you may be, what you will see Hope lost at the cost of love, life, and some kind of lovelife People looking in think they see, but as they watch you don’t swim but sink All meaning seems gone, the seams of your heart undone The dark void, endless, gazing deep Death watching, waiting, getting frustrated The rage burns alive, why oh why won’t I end my life? For the small things life’s worth living When looking into the pools of despair, remember the people who care You may be alone, without a home But you need not go on with life on your own

Hold my Hand 03:37
lyrics

Hold my Hand Verse Sat staring at the deep dark blackness Avoiding the response of fear from within Feeling the beginning of the helplessness From life’s love - a Summer fling Chorus What you need to understand Is there’s no one there to hold your hand You come into this world All on your own and that’s how it will end Why can’t you see There’s nothing here for you and me Verse Where does the pull come from? The drive to do, to live and conform Removing each and every face Automatons all over the place Chorus What you need to understand Is there’s no one there to hold your hand You come into this world All on your own and that’s how it will end Why can’t you see There’s nothing here for you and me Bridge AI is what we’re taught to fear It’s meant to be scary from what I hear But where it is no one knows I’m beginning to think it’s in our souls Chorus What you need to understand Is there’s no one there to hold your hand You come into this world All on your own and that’s how it will end Why can’t you see There’s nothing here for you and me
