about

an anthem for ~those feelings~

lyrics

I have no more dreams
Just a puppet on strings
Being controlled by them(en)
on the screen
And everyone knows
the tone of my yelp
So there’s no point
in crying for help

everything I’m looking for
always is right in front of me
But I’m so used to looking,
that it shouldn’t be that easy
I don’t know how to spend my days
without wasting time
I don’t know how to write a song
Without any rhyme-ing

and wish I knew what to do
when I don't wanna do anything
wish I knew what to feel
what to think and what to sing
wish I knew what to do
when I know I have to entertain
I know I’m not that interesting
What do you find interesting?

I have no more hope
Just a crazy-eyed dope
With the best smile and
The worst jokes
Everyone beats me
To the punchline
So what’s the point
in trying
There’s no point in trying

I wish I had an itch to scratch
but can't move forward while looking back
The world is not as rosy as remembered
Like the fifth day of September
Twenty-eleven, I was sparkly eyed
Ready to eat that pie in the sky
A rainbow would come smiling through
To make a simple dream come true
And ready to do it all with the friends
That I thought I could turn to

and wish I knew what to do
when I don't wanna do anything
wish I knew what to feel
what to think and what to sing
wish I knew what to do
when I know I have to talk
No I'm not that interesting
I know it's not that interesting

and wish I knew what to do
when I don't wanna do anything
wish I knew what to say
what to feel and what to think
wish I knew what to do
when I know I have to entertain
I know I'm not that interesting
I know it's not that interesting

everything I’m looking for
always is right in front of me
But I’m so used to looking,
that it shouldn’t be that easy
I don’t know how to spend my days
without wasting time
I don’t know how to write a song
Without any rhyme-ing
