Happy Endings - Superimpose

SUPERIMPOSE

i'm known to be far away from everything

so hear me out

times are changing and so am i

i told you i feel so alone

was never one to lack control

the background's fading out again

i'm begging you to superimpose

i close my eyes

to really see what's in front of me

but too many times

i fall face first to the concrete

this time i feel so happy

to be back on my feet again

this time i feel so high

even though i'm back on my feet again

THERE YOU GO

you're so far away

you can't seem to find home again

where do you finally begin

and where does all this pain end

you've tried so hard to move on

yet victory seems so far beyond

but i promise it's coming soon

there you go i knew you could do it

it's back again, i'm so proud of you

it's losing pain, i know you're growing

and learning love

all these doubts you feel

are fading like the setting sun

and i think that healing has just begun

you have fought your fears

and now your fears are all fading,

and you have cried your tears

and the tears they're all drying

HINDSIGHT

it's been time, since i saw you last

i had to pick up the pieces

dust off the trash

i had to push you in the right direction

force you to make corrections

but who knows

it's been time since i saw you last

you're always slacking

no chance you'll ever pass

you're always blaming other people

for all the reasons you come in last

you just turn your head to sigh

you don't care if you live or die

you never ever once

spread your wings to fly

that’s when you said your last goodbye

you, i see inside of me

you i see inside of me

it's so hard to ignore the past

all the times that you thought you won

all the times that they pushed you back

you only wanted one thing

just one certain thing

you never got that thing

now you have no hope for anything

SKINNY GUY

i work all day, i slave away

i'm 22 but i look 38

my best friends son asks me for some gum

he thinks tonight he's going to kiss one

girlfriend's a nurse, carries a purse

she looks tight in a mini-skirt

but it bothers me, that at 23

she can still bench press more than me

life's not easy for a skinny guy

you’re first to be left out, thrown aside

left behind, don't ask me why

just yesterday, went to the YMCA

hoping maybe i could change me

tried to curl a 25, never left my thigh

all the guys laughed so hard they cried

but it's okay, i'll wait another day

you can't hurt my pride that easily

one things for sure, no matter what i eat

i will always have abs, fatty!

well, i'm 70 percent water

and 20 percent bone

10 percent muscle and zero percent tone

6 foot 2 at 130 pounds

my sister used to beat me up

and throw me to the ground

i eat a bowl of ice cream

every night before bed

in a regular day

i eat more candy than i eat bread

no matter how much i try

you know i can't deny

i'm a skinny guy

and fat implants would be superfly

SOLDIER

a soldier lies dead on the road

i never knew his name

as the rain falls down on the muddy terrain,

it washes away his memory

so still, so calm he seems

no expressions, no feeling

a single tear falls

the truth it seems

sets a place in my memory

and i raise my head so high

so scared but i better live tonight

as i held my breath

through the bombs and cries

i held my head up high

a sharp pain invades my side

i feel the breath of death inside

as look down to my surprise

i never realize my life

i fell to the ground

the sound seems to fade

a blurry soldier looks down on me

he reaches down to touch my face

and that's my last memory

SPOKEN

freeing up all feelings

that seem to be pouring out

of my unhealthy heart

leaving as fast as i can leave

and no time to turn

you'll see that question...

will i be, will i be spoken?

asking for direction

laughing and my introspection

pleading all the good i feel i've done

wanting a simple understanding

of this question burning in me

will i be, will i be spoken?

spoken....

when the time arise

when the time has come

will i be spoken?

GIVER

she gives up on herself

because she thinks that there's no hope

misused, abused, and used

yet all she asks for is a little luck

she says that all guys are the same

just one more lover today

lays down and closer her eyes

she's going to give it away

she looks for love

in places where love will never come

and wishes by doing this

that he would love her

just as much as she does

and all she wanted was to hold his hand

all she needed, he didn't understand

all she wanted was to have a friend

all she got was another man

LIFE FOR SALE

it's a terrible life to live

inside the body of a man

inside the vision of another man

i knew you wouldn't understand

i can understand

because i am who i am

in the vision of another man

in the mirror would i say who this is

could this be the same as yesterday

but today, anyway

i don't recognize, looking in my eyes

see too many lies

covering up all the good inside

and i take all i can

close my eyes and just pretend

that this flame will eventually thin away

this life of mine's for sale

forget the reasons

for my morals as well

it seems too many times i fail

this life of mines for sale

i try to change

doing different things

hoping maybe i could try

to buy my way

but step back, react

compact all the feelings

that i'm hold back

maybe ct a little different

than i was

because it does in the end help out when

i'm feeling left out

thrown about, too much doubt

running through my mind

i better make it this time

this is a plastic mask i've made

regurgitation things for fame

i've been molded but i'm to blame

for this game

SORRY

you're always telling me what to be

don't like what you see

not cool enough for you

not cool enough for me

do this, do that, too skinny or too fat

just let me be

you get that look in your eyes

i now realize

that i am the one you despise

goodbye

i'm sorry i let you down again

i can't believe i let it happen again

i'm sorry i let you down again

so sorry today

the times they change

i'll stay the same

i'll never hang my head in shame

you push me down i'll get up

you push me down I’ll lift you up

won't you let me be

HIP HOP HOORAY

too many times i look past what is mine

and ask why can't it be like this

why can't life be generous?

but i take life like it is

and hold myself in eternal bliss

and i take time

rewind and appreciate all that's mine

so could i say my life isn't worth anything

how could it be when i have all i need

so would i ask

my life be in cased in glass?

no, this is all i need

hip hop hooray

so maybe i'll win some, so maybe i won't

life's an endless roller-coaster

everybody knows

sometimes we at high, sometimes we at low

where we go from here, God only knows

so i will take whatever time brings to me

and i won't complain

about all the little things

and i'll take what i have

and be thankful for everything

this life means too much to me
