It's a struggle. I'm always fighting with my mind, I get in trouble walking blind, looking for dreams I can't find. I'm over-focused. I lose track of everything around me... Make a man out of me, And if I could only see What life was supposed to be… But all I needed was my dreams Cutting like a butcher knife right through my mind, now I'm so wrapped up in time. Losing sight of my life, my destiny… An obsession, an obsession, see I got my own confession, I have lost my confidence. Wrestling with my heart, it's been a battle with my mind... I'm so torn apart, that I can't even find myself. Oh I'm a winner, But sometimes I just act like a beginner. And nothing I can do brings me back to there… To that place where I know I can conquer my fear. Then I'm a hero. And for one split-second I am not a zero. But even then I can't be very cheerful, Till I move past everything. I'm moving on. Losing sight of my life, my destiny… An obsession, an obsession, see I got my own confession, I have lost my confidence. Wrestling with my heart, it's been a battle with my mind... I'm so torn apart, that I can't even find myself. Can't find myself! Wrestling with my heart, it's been a battle with my mind... I'm so torn apart, that I can't even find... Wrestling with my heart, and been a battlin' with my mind... I'm so torn apart, that I can't even find myself. Can't find myself! An obsession, an obsession, see I got my own confession, I have lost my confidence. Wrestling with my heart, been a battle with my mind... I'm so torn apart, that I can't even find myself. Can't find myself! Can't. Find. Myself. Can't. Find. Myself. Can't. Find. Myself...

Your stories change, And places are rearranged. The characters in your tales Are too tall to tame. Fibs stacked on white lies like sweet hotcakes A rolling pebble moves on to a snowball mistake. Hey, this will never fade. Your choice is ready-made. When you lie, you lie. Damn girl lie. When you lie, you lie, and still you lie. Countless endings chase away the beginning. A foundation strayed from truth. Say "I love you" cuz I do... (baby) Then you sing it too. Yeah, say it too. I know when you get defensive, your mind's on the run. I know when you're aggressive, the truth will never come... 'cause you lie. You will never change. Your choice is ready-made. When you lie, you lie. Damn girl lie. When you lie, you lie, and still you lie. Damn girl lie. And I need clarity. I need clarity. Fibs stacked on white lies... Mmhmm

melba 04:08
Wings part the clouded sky. Early morning coffee rise. Shining lights reflect your eyes. Oo-o-oo-oo-oo-o-ooo Birthmarked arm, Freckled palm and cheek. The language when you speak to me... Melba. Longing for that smile. Aching for your laugh, you've taken me for miles. You've waken me up from the wrath, Oh Melba. Oh, Sweet Melba. Oh, Sweet Melba. That vintage thrift store door... Where the tight jeans cost 10 bucks more. A 'U-turn' rendezvous in a rainstorm. Oo-o-oo-oo-oo-o-ooo A gentle exchange from a magnetic face And then I walked away, but couldn't stay that way. In my mind, this was fate. Melba, Longing for that smile. Aching for your laugh, you've taken me for miles. You've shaken me from the Devil's grasp, Oh Melba. Oh, Sweet Melba. Oh, Sweet Melba. Changeover lingers, We're touching fingers... Hold my hand Let's make our plans And daydream of white sands, yeah, Majestic peaks, and the snowy breeze & dance. (Oo-ooooo) Melba, Anhelando tu sonrisa Deseando esa risa, me has llevado por millas Me has despertado del caos Oh, Melba. Oh, sweet Melba. Oh, Sweet Longing for that smile Oh, Sweet Aching for your laugh You've taken me for miles and miles and miles and miles, Oh Melba. Oh, Sweet Melba Oh, Sweet Melba Oh, My Melba

Time is a thief It's cheated on me. It's stolen my life & shaken my pride, It's robbed my energy. Time takes the days. Empties my dire ways To survive, to be alive... Time robs my youth When I strive to find the truth Time is a thief... and it steals from me. Yeah it steals from me. Time is a thief (yes it is) It takes my memories (yeah she did) It knocks me off track & It breaks my back It's ruined my dreams. Time is a machine, A living-breathing-thieving being... It's surrounding me. Time is a thief. Time takes the days. Empties my dire ways To survive, to be alive... Time robs my youth When I strive to find the truth Time is a thief... and it steals from me. Yeah it steals from me. Yeah-yeah-yeah.
