I could never walk away I could never even try to stay I could never even walk away Cause time will always feed the snake Time will always try to make me pay For the monsters I've created, babe So who are you And why are you through? Cause time is a rollercoaster When I end up feeling close to you Back to the ocean, back to the sea Where you mean everything to me Cause time is a rollercoaster With you Lose the forest for the trees Lose the only thing that made you see How to navigate this endless sea This will be my final straw This addiction will cease to haunt I will conquer all the pain that comes (You won't take me) Cause time is a rollercoaster When I end up feeling close to you Back to the ocean, back to the sea Where you mean everything to me Cause time is a rollercoaster With you With you Cause time is a rollercoaster When I end up feeling close to you

If I were to die soon I would sing a sad tune Away from all the world's mistakes If I were to find you Hiding by the old moon Afraid to die another day So hold on to life for me Don't lose your grip Cause you're my American dream Riding from the old moon into the sea I will not forget you until I am free Because you are my only American dream If I were to break free From the chains that bind me Hooray, I'd live another day How do we see clearly? When we feel so empty But hey, it's worth a shot to find your fate Cause you're my American dream Riding from the old moon into the sea I will not forget you until I am free Because you are my only American dream American Dream American Dream American Dream American Dream And if I were to die soon I would sing a sad tune Away from all the world's mistakes Cause you're my American dream Riding from the old moon into the sea I will not forget you until I am free Because you are my only American dream Because you are my very American dream Riding from the old moon into the sea I will not forget you until I am free Because you are my only American dream

How are we to bend this twisted fate Have some faith Have some faith How are we to break free from these chains Change our ways But don't forget your dreams and wishes When the light vanishes Remember who you are Remember who you are And through the empty faces Family so faithless Remember who you are Remember who you are How are we to find our way back home Don't let go Don't let go When this virus overrides our code Overload But don't forget your dreams and wishes When the light vanishes Remember who you are Remember who you are And through the empty voices Family so pointless Remember who you are Remember who you are I've got no use for you here I'm breaking this crippling fear How are we to bend this twisted fate Have some faith Have some

How do these politicians Get away with this shit I don't know How do these imbeciles Divide us Hell if I know Cause when Democrats and Republicans Fight until the very of time Oh, I will be alone in this Never-ending spiral of demise How do these unfit heathens Get chosen to make All our laws Politics and religion Are the root of all conflict and war All for money Democrats and Republicans Fight until the very of time Oh, I will be alone in this Never-ending spiral of demise In time, I'll find another way To color in the empty space With something more than promises of lies I've got nothing left My head's fucked up and I'm a mess I've got no one here Except for Emptiness and Fear Cause when Democrats and Republicans Fight until the very of time Oh I will be alone in this Never-ending spiral of demise In time, I'll find another way To color in the empty space With something more than promises of lies We are not alone in this We can choose to raise our fists And fight against the evil parasites I've got nothing left My head's fucked up and I'm a mess

Vallotton 04:31
Butterflies and phantoms Autumn forest lanterns Guiding me along to the sea Haunting quantum patterns Coloring the caverns Sanctuary of galaxies While I find my way To heaven's gates Through realms of archangelic grace Well I may bleed Into the sea Eradicate my habits Cause I can't say I tried my best And I can't say I fought the rest But I will change And find my way To you Vallotton Halfway through my journey I smelled something burning Only to discover the scene I left in the morning Violently aborning With silence taunting me of defeat While I face my fears To overcome The voices of my past mistakes And I will be An offering To paint your broken canvas Cause I can't say I tried my best And I can't say I fought the rest But I will change And find my way To you Vallotton Paint me an ocean Paint me a mountain Paint me a river Eternal fountain Paint me a house And then maybe some children Now paint me unblind So I can find Vallotton I can't say I tried my best No, I can't say I fought the rest But I will change And find my way To you Vallotton Paint you, la da da da da da da Paint you, la da da da da da
