BURY YOU
​
People around me
They told me to bury you
The rush I feel inside
Something I barely knew
Tell me your worst lie
Tell me to let you go
Are you really here
Nothing feels so real
Days went dark when I bury you
Demon inside me I bury you
Come closer
Wake me up
WOODEN GIRL​
​
I’m not lost
This is where I need to be
In my thoughts
I’ll never set you free
They say I’m broken
Weak or inviting
Whatever you say
I know who I need to be
Close your killer eyes
My heart in pieces
Tell me if I still breathe
I can’t feel anything
Anyone hear me?
Close your killer eyes
Keep your hands off me
I’ll never set you free
Keep your hands off me
RAIN
​
Do you hear the thunder
This rain will never stop
When drops hit the ground
They burn like fire
You won't hear me scream
I won't stop running
This is not your world
Not the one you desire
You can't hear the thunder
You cannot see the sun
This world is drowning us
Hurts like fire
I can't make a sound
Cannot keep running
Life lasted longer
More than I desire
​
One last time tell me the truth
Will you one last time tell me the truth
EMPTY​
​
Rest your soul
This is the last day
Your sleeping mind
Will wake up once again
Endless run
To the sleepless nights
I will put your minds at ease
I'll tell you my best stories
At night when you sleep
With nothing on your mind
HATA​
​
Bir hata
Yok olmak gibi bi his
Binlerce kez düÅŸer düÅŸer kalkar
Son defa ona bak
Renksiz hayaller
Hayal kurmak istedi
Bulutlar geliyo üstüne üstüne
Bırak kendini
Bırak kendini
Elindeki taş aklında savaş
Son bir defa bak ona
Kalbi donuk, ateÅŸi soÄŸuk
Son bir defa bak ona
Bıraktı kendini sonsuza
TUZAK​
​
Uzun zamandır uykum yok
Geceler bana hep demir tuzak
Sessiz boÅŸluÄŸa doÄŸru bakarken
Siyah odaların duvarında
Kayıp o eski nefretler
Kaygılardan yoksun olsaydık
Yaklaşma yıldızlarım kayıp benim
Senin o yalnız dünyanda
Bıraktı kendini kuzgunlar
Kırmızı gökyüzü yorgundu
Yağdırdı bulutları birer birer
Senin o yalnız dünyanda
Fırtınalar dinmedi
Geceye doÄŸru yürürken
SusuzluÄŸun dinmedi
GüneÅŸe doÄŸru bakarken
Kaybolma o dünyanda
MIRROR
​
Look in the mirror
What's gotten into you
I know what's real
Nothing's wrong with me
Look in the mirror
What's gotten into you
I know what's real
Something's wrong with me
KING​
​
Golden crown is tossed
I'm the one who makes you king
Wooden throne is lost
I'm the one who makes you king
Eager eyes everywhere
I'm the one who makes you king
Take the heads of the different ones
I'm the one who makes you king
