PRO8L3M - Forever

Verse 1: Oskar
It's different between us, I hit the void with words
Also with feelings, I'll definitely be late today, I say it with tears
Tons of tears with you or without – I choose the latter
And those people with their advice again, it hits me right
Once love, today I don't even really like it
Once it smoldered, today it doesn't even flicker
You don't ask how the afternoon is
I'm also too proud to find fault in myself
There's money but life stinks
We were supposed to be married when you took the bouquet away from the bridesmaid
In that second, I'll step back and get mad at myself in solitude
Lack of patience, lack of presence, we artificially try to stay in this mess
Thoughts bristle like poodles
I'm locked in this box feeling like I'm going to explode
I take the crumpled letter in my hand and crumple it again
Cruel crumbs are all I have left

Chorus: Oskar
I already have a few scars like this
You too, so we'll dream the same
Someone has to stay, someone has to leave
In any case, there are the doors
I already have a few scars like this
You too, so we'll dream the same
Someone has to stay, someone has to leave
In any case, there are the doors

Verse 2: Oskar
Is it possible for me to be with you for a lifetime?
The future sometimes dreams to me
The picture is like cheap sketches
You come to me, and for me it's drugs, drinking
Though in the heart it's still smoldering that broken thing will mend
Mistake after mistake, hence the urge to spite each other
I know my hidden thoughts, easier to write than to say, so I write
I drowned in booze, not to drown in hope
My fear closed deep somewhere where the scream is silent
That can't utter a word, only finds silence
Let me capture our last moments together, what's perfect today
Tomorrow will witness the most messed up battle
Nothing will remain of the letters, I'll remain alone going wild
Possibly building a noose for dreams with a scream on a thickening cloud
Burn old clichés, erase from memory your face with them

Chorus: Oskar
I already have a few scars like this
You too, so we'll dream the same
Someone has to stay, someone has to leave
In any case, there are the doors
I already have a few scars like this
You too, so we'll dream the same
Someone has to stay, someone has to leave
In any case, there are the doors

Verse 3: Oskar
Drunk I scream something at strangers on the street
The knife opens by itself on my chest, that unbearable grasp
I'd like to tear them to pieces, not wake up sweaty
From an unknown fear that chokes me in the middle of the night
"Why?" I ask myself for probably the hundredth time
The most beautiful day becomes ugly
Blood boils in my veins like Etna's lava
The red glow surrounds the silver moon
I throw a bottle at the concrete, it shatters like Lego
I'm angry like McGregor, looking to please the ego
Nosy eyes just watch for the worst moment
To level you with the ground
Blood flows from the shattered face and nothing tastes like it
Seeing me every day in this state, neighbors think it's my favorite
Days pass - outside all's fine, inside there's a scar

Chorus: Oskar
I already have a few scars like this
You too, so we'll dream the same
Someone has to stay, someone has to leave
In any case, there are the doors
I already have a few scars like this
You too, so we'll dream the same
Someone has to stay, someone has to leave
In any case, there are the doors
