(i could be) Ordinary

You want me to die while staying alive
And I don't want to be an exception
We're in this together, and we can survive
Our doubts with self-deception
The weight of the world is crashing down
But it won't be on my shoulders
I'll bow my head and hide in the crowd
While the fire around me smolders
I could be higher than the trees
Look down on you, look up at me
Be there whenever you may want me
To be ordinary
I could be black I could be blue
Beat down on me, look up at you
I could be anything you want
I could be ordinary
There's never a moment, it's never too soon
To learn that the light is fading
I dream of the stars but howl at the moon
Cause I'm overcompensating
The masses of people sliding by
Are only getting older
And like the ash on my head I'm turning grey
As a fire inside me smolders
But still I feel okay
I could be higher than the trees
Look down on you, look up at me
Be there whenever you may want me
To be ordinary
I could be black I could be blue
Beat down on me, look up at you
I could be anything you want
So fucking ordinary

The World

I'm staying awake
Dreaming I won't need sleeping
I sleep under my bed just to hide from the monsters outside
The world doesn't change
It's outside of my window
I look under my bed just to find I have nothing to hide
And night after night I'm lighting the fuse
A nameless crusader with nothing to lose
So raise me up and don’t let me go
I'll play you like puppets in my little show
Night after night – the world is mine
I'm nobody's fool
I think I'm just a jester
With the keys to your heart I am ready to come out and fight
A highway to hell
Built on your good intentions
I wake up in my bed just to find I'm the monster
The world belongs to me – it was never ours
I see you screaming but I raise my middle finger to the stars
Night after night I'm lighting the fuse
A brainless commander with nothing to lose
So raise me up and don’t let me go
I'll play you like puppets in my little show
Night after night – the world is mine

Backgammon

You kick me to the ground
You knock me off my feet
Maybe you are the one
I was afraid to hope to meet
I don't know what it is
I don't know what you do
But since the day we met
I can't stop thinking about you
So now I sit here all day playing backgammon with myself
Because you're in my head and in my heart but not in my bed
Maybe I'll share this wine with memories and no one else
And only when you're back I promise I'll stop feeling sad
Please feel my arms around you
And give me a hug like only you can do
Please feel the kiss I send you
Connecting all the dots between us two
You kick me to the ground
You knock me off my feet
Maybe you are the one
I was afraid to hope to meet
I don't know what it is
I don't know what you do
But since the day we met
I can't stop thinking about you
I can't explain how much I miss you but there is no doubt
That there is nothing about you that I can't live without
We shouldn't be apart this long not ever and not now
Because it shouldn't take this long to figure out
Please feel my arms around you
And give me a hug like only you can do
Please feel the kiss I send you
Connecting all the dots between us two
You kick me to the ground
You knock me off my feet
Maybe you are the one
I was afraid to hope to meet
I don't know what it is
I don't know what you do
But since the day we met
I can't stop thinking about you
