My love must be a kind of blind love,
I can't see anyone but you
And dear, I wonder if you find love,
an optical illusion, too?

Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright cause I only
have eyes for you.
The moon may be high,
but I can't see a thing in the sky,
cause I only have eyes for you.

I don't know if we're in a garden,
or on a crowded avenue.
You are here, so am I.
Maybe millions of people go by
but they all disappear from view,
and I
only have eyes for you.

Billie Holiday
I Only Have Eyes For You

In the sea completely real
you can always swim from the fish
and hide yourself.

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed unto the sun
Till we found, the sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine.

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

The harder I push the further I fall
Well you don't mind me being headstrong
But you don't want to sing along
Maybe it's trite but I can always,
always,always,always,always be wrong

It's just like you to contest
you wear it like a label on your breast
don't you see what this takes of me?
A certain callousness complies
in your charm and in your pride
a hopeful look draped in despise

I want to give you whatever you need
What is it you need? Is it what I need?
I want to give you whatever you need
What is it you need? Is it within me?

"I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rinds
but the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt turn it inside out find nothing but faith in nothing
want to put my tender heart in a blender
watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion
rendezvous and im through with you"

I am nothing more than
A little boy inside
That cries out for attention
Yet I always try to hide
Cause I talk to you like children
Though I don't know how I feel
But I know I'll do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed

Day after day, alone on a hill
the man with the foolish grin is standing perfectly still
and nobody seems to like him,
they can see that he just a fool
and he never seems to notice
but the fool on the hill
sees the sun going down
and the eyes in his head see the world spinning round

You've only so many roads to choose
Sooner or later the ones you use
They all look the same
Someday you might feel the need
Someday when you're tired of bleeding
For someone else
You're gonna want it for yourself
I ain't saying it's the only way
But wouldn't you like to know

The heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stony ground
But there's no room, no space to rent in this town
You're out of luck and the reason that you had to care,
The traffic is stuck and you're not moving anywhere,
You thought you'd found a friend to take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace.

It's a beautiful day, the sky falls
And you feel like it's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

Do you believe in a miracle
Or just the things that you heard
Do you believe in a lover
Or just the curve of the world
Another stab every morning
To make sense of it all
Now you can go home
To nothing at all
There will always be something to believe in

Hey, all I want is what's real
Something I touch and can feel
I'll hold it close and never let it go
Said why
Why do we live this life
With all this hate inside
I'll give it away
because I don't want it no more
Please, help me find a place
Somewhere far away
Yes, I'll go and you'll never
see me again

Well every person you can know,
And every place that you can go,
And any thing that you can show,
You know they're nouns.
A noun's a special kind of word,
It's any name you ever heard.
I find it quite interesting,
A noun's a person, place or thing.

A Noun is a Person, Place, or Thing

Broken dreams are screams to me
The difference I can't see
The way you look and talk to me
You're cursing me, I freeze
The combination of loss, control, loss of soul
I weaze
Just give some ease to me

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay


Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence
and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are


On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are

How many time have your friends let you down?
Just open up your heart
Just open up your mind
How many times has your faith slipped away?
Well, is anybody safe?
Does anybody pray?

Oh, Life is waiting for you
Its all messed up, but we're alive
Oh, Life is waiting for you
Its all messed up, but we'll survive

Another nightmare about to come true
Will manifest tomorrow
Another love that I've taken from you
Lost in time, on the edge of suffering
Another taste of the evil I breed
Will level you completely
Bring to life everything that you fear
Live in the dark, and the world is threatening

Let me enlighten you
This is the way i pray

I don't want you to give it all up and leave your own life collecting dust,
and I don't want you to feel sorry for me, you never gave us a chance to be.
And I don't need you to be by my side to tell me that everything's alright.
I just wanted you to tell me the truth, you know i'd do that for you.

I gotta go make my own mistakes
