Aspirin

Unleash me and I'm a superhero
Set me free and I will fly away
My life has got me right where it wants
In a cell, underground, on a ball and chain
I'm sleepy-eyed, but I'm wide awake
Don't have to lie in bed for my wildest dreams
Living the nightmare to reach my goals
But it feels like I'm coming loose
At the seams
I know I'm gonna be fine
And I knew that it wouldn't be easy
Still I can't help feeling sorry for myself
Can't quit can't step out of line
Just a few more steps and I'm done
I got to get out of here - I need to work - and I need some help
So now I need another aspirin to kill the pain
And I'll be on my feet again
I'm laying low for now
But I'll get over it somehow
I need some kind of pill to cure my sanity
And stop this inhumanity
I got to be cool and strong
I gotta bring it back to where I will belong
Get me out of this cage because I'm running too late
All my emotions building up the pressure in my head
I need a (first-class) ticket right out of this hole
I need to get myself together or I'll end up dead
Got to act fast, got to meet the deadline
I won't let the world get the best of me
I'm going to fight and I'm going to win
Get this straitjacket off me and start being free
I know I'm gonna be fine
But it feels like it's taking forever
And I don't know what the future has in store
Can't quit can't step out of line
Got to grind it out till I'm through
Cause I know what I'm doing - and I know who I'm doing it for
And now I need another aspirin to kill the pain
And I'll be on my feet again
I'm laying low for now
But I'll get over it somehow
I need some kind of pill to cure my sanity
And stop this inhumanity
I got to be cool and strong
I gotta bring it back to where I will belong
I really need another aspirin to kill the pain
And I'll be on my feet again
I may be laying low for now
But I'll get over it
Somehow I'll cure my sanity
And stop this inhumanity
I got to be cool and strong
I gotta bring it back to where I will belong

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

On an island, I’m smiling
The sun is shining
The sea is passing by me
And the birds are singing in the sky
But this morning I’m mourning
And tears are forming
You might think that I like it here
But I can’t swim and you can’t fly
So keep the party going
Till the break of break of dawn
I will stay here I will pretend
But in the morning I’ll be gone
Don’t be fooled by my happy face
Don’t think I’m funny when I smile
And please don’t let me be the one
Who'll be there when you die
Don’t reach out for my heart and soul
You’ll be scared of what you’ll find
And never let me be the one
Who'll be there when you die
I try to ignore you
Or at least try not to bore you
Don’t want to stand before you
The confrontation’s killing me
I know I can’t make it
Cause I don’t want to fake it
I’ll have to give up now
Before I will break down and you will see
How I’m to scared to walk away
Too scared to run and hide
How I’m not strong enough to cry
While the pain is building up inside
Don’t be fooled by my happy face
Don’t think I’m funny when I smile
And please don’t let me be the one
Who'll be there when you die
Don’t reach out for my heart and soul
You’ll be scared of what you’ll find
And never let me be the one
Who'll be there when you die
Be there when you die

I’m leaving now
But trust me I’ll be back someday
Promise me you will recognise me then
Promise me things can be the same again
I’m leaving now
Like I left before another time
Then I came back it was great to see
You made me smile like only you can do
Or am I dreaming and isn’t this for real
If this is fantasy please tell me why I feel
Alone
Now I can’t change the way you are
As I have realized by now
I hope someday you will understand
You never changed me anyhow
You have cut a piece of me
But I won't stop until I die
If you can't live life on your own
Then I can't help but say goodbye
You make me feel alone
The closer you want to be
The harder you try
You leave me on my own
Or am I dreaming and isn’t this for real
If this is fantasy please tell me why I feel
Alone
