I got this in my mail
I went to a party and remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mum, so I had a sprite instead.
I felt proud of myself, the way you said I would,
that I didn't drink and drive, though some friends said I should.
I made a healthy choice and your advice to me was right.
The party finally ended and the kids drove out of sight.
I got into my car, sure to get home in one piece.
I never knew what was coming, Mum, something I expected least.
Now I'm lying on the pavement and I hear the policeman say:
'The kid that caused this wreck was drunk,' Mum, his voice seems far away.
My own blood's all around me, as I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say: 'This girl is going to die'.
I'm sure the guy had no idea, while he was flying high,
because he chose to drink and drive, now I would have to die.
So why do people do it, Mum, knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me like a hundred stabbing knives.
Someone should have taught him that it's wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had, I'd still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter, Mum, I'm getting really scared.
These are my final moments and I'm so unprepared.
I wish that you could hold me Mum, as I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say: 'I love you, Mum!' So, I love you and good-bye.

Worth it
I know you don't wanna hear sweet talk right now.
You're fed up with the bullshit and would, somehow
rather be punching some face in a fistfight now.
Or doing right to his 'manhood', bustin his balls,
but would've rather had none of this happen at all.
Don't try erase or rebirth it;
the memory or thought,
cause it wont be worth it.
Just watch not to get caught,
in the past and regrets,
cause there'll never be safe bets.
Worth, is what they aren't
and what they never (should've) had.
But sooner or later, yeah, one of these days,
they're bound to fall down anyways.
They will drop to their knees first, he
will pucker up, to suck up so bad
to leave even the trees thirsty.
Then they'll faceplant; they'll eat dirt,
kiss our shame-full mother Earth with
nasty lips that aren't worth it;
that spoke untruths and made hurt.
However nice releasing may be,
how great punchin' their damned face may feel,
to shut up that big mouth with the little lies
and to stop the pig talk from those little guys,
don't let them get to you and burst your bubble.
Because folk like that are never your trouble
Here's a simple old saying; true, I found,
says that what goes around, will come around,
which means that all will get what they deserve.
So they're only their problem, to solve and to serve.
But a problem is never the same as a care,
so please don't forget that I will be there;
whenever you need me and when you don't, too.
And I'll try not to worry when you tell me to,
but I wont stop wanting to see you happy.
So with trust, I'll be patient, with trust
With patience, I'll trust, I'll be.
Since it's those things that shouldn't be rushed,
it's those things that are worth it.

Mommah
Dear mommah,
she's doin' her best, but she's bringin it wrong
she thinks we don't know, we don't appreciate shit..
but everyone's different, so some of us do:
We know, you just want what you think is best for us
and that you think we think you don't understand us,
that you treat us like kids, and it all sounds cliché.
But in every word there's a truth and a lie.
With your culture and background, your thoughts and life,
you got all experience, except in momhood.
It forces you to let go and now realize;
mothers should be teachers, impartial like a judge,
martial not to judge, but to love and let go.
Cause mommah,
well, we know we want to grow up
way soon for what you will and want.
You fear we'll fall for false pretensions that we will blindly follow,
to live our life of dreamy freedom, foolishly and fake.
A future into which we walk,
we race, in a pace full of haste,
into a future world with a past full of waste.
But mommah,
while we're laying in our beds,
you repeat the every day threads,
look at the back of our heads;
because we turned our backs your way.
Cause you have your same say, every single day,
the spoken words have even gotten gray.
And now we've stopped to pray, we to hope that
you would finally stop trying to control us,
stop prying and unfold us
Cause, because you cant see our eyes,
it doesn't mean that we cant see
it doesn't mean that we are blind
it doesn't mean we have no eyes
it means it's time to set us free
cause we have our own words to find
to come up with OUR truths and lies
We don't get through to each other;
me and my mother
she's doin' her best, but she's bringin it wrong
she thinks we don't know, we don't appreciate shit..

peacdove
she's sittin there, next to her love
floating, flying high, higher
into the clouds, into the sky
free like a bird, like a dove
promoting happiness and peace
and also love, piece by piece
everything little by little,
trying to not feel so brittle
ignoring the hole ahead
crashing, falling down instead
of living, then just being dead
no coma, no, just her last bed
she feels
the thoughts seeping in so slowly and
she kneels
brought down by the pain pulling on her
then she breaks,
still hopes she awakes,
from this bad dream
she wishes she could scream
and then she
pulls herself together again
floating, flying high, higher

Shield of Macho
This is the way you've come to be
and it sure as hell aint hard to see,
cause it really couldn't be more clear,
this place you're at, you don't wanna be here
I'd love to help you find
your way to better places
from this ghetto in your mind
Away from all the faces
that keep lookin with a frown,
they keep tellin you down
Just hang on, hang in there
I know it isn't fair
I'm askin you a favor that's impossible right now,
request of which I wish I could
make you promise, make you vow
I can only ask to trust me,
to believe me when I say
that it'll be okay
I only know how hard it can be,
and that it seems it's never easy
seems that's what life is meant to be:
those rotten childhood memories,
parents being hardly just that,
attention; only for nextdoor's brat
and askin for it never got you anywhere
but I can't help but ask you, to
Just hang on, hang in there
I know it isn't fair
I'm askin you a favor that's impossible right now,
request of which I wish I could
make you promise, make you vow
but I can only ask to just trust me,
just believe me when I say
that it'll be okay
we go back, way back when
we used to see each other every now and then
times we used to climb high to the cookie shelf
now we get high 'n munch the cookies down,
but I'm scared for you, I really hope you do
stop hurting and mentally killing yourself
and I don't wanna see you go downtown
Just hang on, hang in there
I know it isn't fair
I'm askin you a favor that's impossible right now,
request of which I wish I could
make you promise, make you vow
but I can only ask to just trust me,
just believe me when I say
that it'll be okay
This is the way you've come to be
and it sure as hell aint hard to see,
you can be more than what you're showing me
drop the armor, break down the wall
it'll be a weigh loss, once and for all
you refuse to, cause it's damned scary
like it would mean you ending
but you wont feel as weary,
and much less dready
You don't need this, not by far;
this cover-up ego and covered up shame
just realize you're not the one to blame
we'll accept you as you are
and it sure as hell aint hard to see,
cause it really couldn't be more clear,
this place you're at, you don't wanna be here
I'd love to help you find
your way to better places
from this ghetto in your mind
Away from all the faces
that keep lookin with a frown,

De duiven in de grachten
De wereld op zn kop
niets klopt
De eenden zijn de duiven op de dam en de,
de duiven drijfnat, ze dobberen in de grachten.
Vleugels fladderen niet meer, ze
zijn te zwaar, ze zijn verloren.
En iedereen die het ziet,
en niemand die het wil horen.
Niemand die ze helpt, want
'ze maken zichzelf van kant,
het valt niet te helpen',
'het zijn er teveel' en 'wat heeft het voor nut?',
Oh gut, grut! Wat een gekut.
Je krijgt ervoor geen kut,
zelfs geen zoen, geen poen,
niks.
Dus je zegt:
'We kunnen toch niets doen,
we zullen alleen maar onze tijd verdoen'
Maar heb je het geprobeerd?
Of heb je dat nooit geleerd?
Dan zal ik het je nu vertellen,
even rustig voor je uitspellen:
Zeg niet 'nooit' en nee, ook geen ooit,
want nooit wordt ooit en andersom.
Echt, het is een simpele som.
Ik noem je niet dom;
een kind kan dit nog niet begrijpen,
maar met de tijd zal het in je gaan rijpen.
Je moet eerst je puntjes kunnen slijpen
voordat je ze kan zetten op de I.
Wie? Ja die en die,
maar jij ook.
Je bent nu nog een spook.
Zo makkelijk te doorzien,
totaal geen karakter.
Je loopt zover achter.
Je denkt: ik ben een wachter;
je durft te hopen,
dat je er uiteindelijk wel komt,
de kantjes er vanaf kan lopen.
Maar je bent alleen vermomd,
verdomd slecht nog wel, daarbij.
Nou, je bent niet blij, je bent niet cool,
dus veeg die grijns maar van je smoel.
Maar we zien het zeker wel.
Ook al hoop je van niet,
hoop je dat niemand je ziet,
dat we over je heen kijken,
maar we zien je zeker wel.
En we kijken dwars door je driedubbele laag leugens.
je zit in onze geheugens.
Gegrift.
Als iemand zonder ijver, zonder drift.
Geen motivatie, nooit variatie in je leven,
al is het maar voor even.
Wat is dat voor reputatie?
Al is het een rotsituatie, eigenlijk miscommunicatie, dat discriminatie;
jouw presentatie is een associatie; een evaluatie van onze generatie.
Je behoeft een combinatie van inspiratie en rotatie
van driehonderdzestig graden.
Vergeet alle kwade daden en iedereen die je heeft verraden.
Gooi je wereld op z'n kop,
want niets klopt.

Mina sötnos,
jag älskar dig.
Du är rar och särdeles särskild
Sannerligen, en mycket ovanlig ras!
En kyss på din pannan.
Farvälen för nu
och söv gott.
Jag älskar dig,

Don't worry sweety, you'll be alright
There's no reason, no need to fight
It hurts, it's hard, but it's not your fault,
so bring those frowns and tears to a halt
I hate to see the sunshine be away from you
just remember everything's going to be just fine
just give it time, sweet, little girl of mine
and soon you will be smiling again too
I know it's painful and simply not easy now,
but look at the past, the future and the stars...
Though we may never know why or when or how,
it helps to close your eyes and listen to the guitars
You know life and love is everywhere,
just look around and see the world care
When you are crying, everything is,
though we all know, the loss is his
Just kick back, relax, take it easy and chill,
stay away from the stress and the happy pill...
I know it's not what you're aching for
but to see you happy, I'll give you all the hugs and more,
cause though I know,
we didn't meet that long ago...
you are a true, close friend
and I'll be there for you till the end
There's no reason, no need to fight
It hurts, it's hard, but it's not your fault,

I think, I get lost
I think and I gasp
I can't believe how happy I am
When I think of you, everything I do
seems more worthwhile and
when I'm with you, things make so much sense
I'm trying so hard not to
and to keep it safe,
but there you go and hack my mind
and run with all my focus
When I think of you, everything stops making sense
but it's alright, cause it's all just right... it's right
And when I'm with you, nothing's wrong.
No worries, no fears. No, nothing to fight.
My mind can never seem to let you go
but when I'm with you
and then everything comes together
I've got so much to say,
I want to tell you everything.
I've got so much to ask,
I want to know all about you.
But when you're there in front of me
I can only think of holding you
close to me
and then my mind goes blank
Then the world can just suck it
cause I'm with you
and it'll only last forever at that moment
All the time I think of you
And sometimes I'm scared
that it's all fake
And sometimes I'm afraid
you wont want me anymore
And sometimes I'm frightened
that this might be the real deal
cause the future is so open
it gives me no space
and I never wanna hurt you now
All the time I think of you
and every day a little more
I miss you just a little more
I think and I gasp
I can't believe how happy I am
When I think of you, everything I do
seems more worthwhile and
when I'm with you, things make so much sense
I'm trying so hard not to
and to keep it safe,
but there you go and hack my mind
and run with all my focus
When I think of you, everything stops making sense
but it's alright, cause it's all just right... it's right
And when I'm with you, nothing's wrong.
No worries, no fears. No, nothing to fight.

I've got so much to ask,

All the time I think of you

I miss you just a little more

You could be happy
**Personal edit of You could be happy - Snow Patrol **
You make me happy, I hope you know
I'm never too happy when I have got to go
And all the things that I wish I could just say
Are played in loops 'till it's madness in my head
Is it too soon to just tell you how I feel?
Is it just in my head and not even real?
Most of what I can think of makes me sure
I will never willingly walk out of the door
You should be happy, I hope you are
You've made me happier than I've been by far
Somehow everything makes me think of you
And sometimes fun times and moments, I doubt they're true
Do the things that you always wanted to
I'll be there *to support you/I've got your back* don't think, just do
More than anything I want to be with you
You make me happy, hope you know it too
You make me happy, I hope you know
I'm never too happy when I have got to go
And all the things that I wish I could just say
Are played in loops 'till it's madness in my head
Is it too soon to just tell you how I feel?
Is it just in my head and not even real?
Most of what I can think of makes me sure
I will never willingly walk out of the door
You should be happy, I hope you are
You've made me happier than I've been by far
Somehow everything makes me think of you
And sometimes fun times and moments, I doubt they're true
Do the things that you always wanted to
I'll be there *to support you/I've got your back* don't think, just do
More than anything I want to be with you
You make me happy, hope you know it too
