1 - ALICE IN AFTERLAND

You did not deserve her 

Alice is the worlds cure 

Projecting strength but fragile 

she was more than meets the eye 

Now we never get to see 

What a girl could hope to be 

I hope Alice haunts your dreams  

I would pay to hear your screams 

-----------------------------

Is it right or is it wrong for you 

to think that alone she couldn’t do it 

Did you ever stop to think she could 

do this being on her own 

Where do you get off when you objectify  

all the things that made her stronger 

If only you had realized  

what alice needed you to say 

----------------------------

She gave you her all 

You gave her only the means to fall 

Self loathing, with your lies, 

tipped over the lever in her mind 

---------------------------

Guess we’ll never know what could have come to pass 

If you’d only been her pillar 

Just a little bit of positivity and she might still be here 

I guess technically your hands are clean 

but mentally you’re morphine 

So in the end to kill a mockingbird 

all you had to use were your words

2 - COOL KIDS

Can you hear me? 

Hear me through the noise? 

Can you see it? 

Through the girls and boys 

It’s never what you thought  

or you could quite derive 

It’s hard to picture this 

as somewhat less contrived 

What does it even mean for you  

to say you’re cool 

Performing for the idiots and fools 

-------------------------

Can you touch it? 

Does it make you rich? 

Can you see it? 

You’re a little kitsch 

What are your goals in life  

why don’t you read a book 

You might explore the world 

and take a different look 

Your popularity and fame will fade 

So why not give your brain a free upgrade 

---------------------------

We’re the cool kids 

We don’t give a shit 

Won’t regret it  

like those hypocrites 

Oh God I see it now  

I’ve wasted all this time 

To not explore the world on paper is a crime 

A finite time to search not ramble on 

Let’s try and fill my brain before I’m gone

3 - THE FALL

I could pull those shackles tight 

I like it better when you fight 

Please won’t you try to resist 

I will slowly break your wrist 

I love the taste I love the smell  

My new heaven is your hell 

I’ll remember you were brave 

While I’m digging up your grave 

-------------------------

You can run but you can never hide 

I could make it look like suicide 

You’ll fight back but I’ll still take it all 

Dance the dance before you take the fall 

-------------------------

When I pull away the blind 

you can look into my eyes 

Then it’s back to solitude 

You will learn some gratitude
