Forever asleep

Asleep, asleep
You fall asleep
You're never waking up
I wish I could accept it
But I'm too young for you to give up

There's so much love and beauty yet to come
You are aware
But what about this fight for life
You can no longer bear?

Success, mistakes
Great jobs, heartaches
When I go down or I rise up
I will never get to know
If you will like me when I'm all grown up

There's so much life and learning yet to come
I am aware
I have to find the strength in me
Cause you can not be there

Asleep, asleep
You fall asleep
You're never waking up
I hope I can proceed to be
All you longed for me when I'm grown up

And when your soul is set free
And one day you look at me
I hope you like what you see

And when I turn out deadbeat
When I have to face defeat
Who will love me regardlessly?

Asleep, asleep
You fall asleep
You're never waking up

Now I know the truth
And must except this is my youth
I've got my heart on my sleeve
Is it so hard to just love me?

But it's not about me
It's about you
As it will always be
Cause that's the truth

I can't let you have control
Cause then you'll make me drown
I can't fill the hole in your soul
I can't fill up where life let you down

I've found what you're looking for
I've got everlasting true love
Despite all you've put me through
Something I am capable of

Fired

Suddenly I stood outside
With a box of papers and what was left of my pride
For months I dreamed of a glorious goodbye
I would give you all the finger and see tears coming to your eyes
Years of disrespect and then you'd realize

Now I'm fired and I've learned
I don't feel any need to watch you burn
It's a waste of my energy and I've learned
Chances are often disguised as hard work
So whenever I want it to it can be my turn

Grey

Grey, today I'm grey
I can be angry and sad
But I've already been through that

Nothing that I do will change the situation
No thought I have will be a liberation
So I liberate myself from thoughts

Nothing I feel will change a thing
So it's better to have no feeling
And to just be grey

I hear your sheer cries
Don't ask me your needs
Try looking inside
