Shoegaze or Die (free) 05:29
I wake up with a song in my head A tune so simple that they can’t understand The sound It’s dark and gloomy I go to bed with drugs in my veins Spend my nights getting drunk getting laid It’s true Dad thinks I’m a waste But every time when I close my eyes Every time when I close my eyes I hear music in my head, I’ll never ever let it go Every time when I close my eyes Every time when I close my eyes I hear music in my head, I’ll never ever let it go Music saves my life every day I am a self-destructive boy They say that youth is the scum of the earth If you listen to rock’n’roll you will do drugs So what? What the fuck if I do? But every time when I close my eyes Every time when I close my eyes I hear music in my head, I’ll never ever let it go Every time when I close my eyes Every time when I close my eyes I hear music in my head, I’ll never ever let it go Music saves my life every day I am a self-destructive boy

I close my eyes ‘Cause things are getting harder I close my eyes ‘Cause I don’t see what you see I just want to hold you tight And never let you go But you have won the fight I leave you tonight You’re so angry for victory And I don’t care to lose And it tears my heart apart When we are in a constant fight To destroy one each other And I don’t know why ‘Cause the past is the past Never meant to last Is it me, or is it you? Tell me what to do ‘Cause I don’t hear a thing ‘Cause deep down I’m dying And God knows I love you God knows we’ve tried But I don’t know how to move on Without hurting someone I wanna hurry home to you In your arms, where I belong There I need to be And forget about everything But if I’m happy, I’m wrong All the sadness inside I hope it’s gonna pass Some things last a song
4.
I’ve been there, I’ve been left behind I can’t stop thinking ‘bout your smile Every day, every time ‘Cause I am a fucked up child I’ve been abused, and I’ve been used to it I’ve seen your gaze turning away I know they say: “all things must pass” But I am a fucked up child You were my drug, my queen of nowhere I could have ceased making mistakes Now I crash myself as soon as I can For I am a fucked up child I walk on a dark path I try to fix my broken heart I can’t forgive, I can’t forget You know I am a fucked up child
