Lucky As Mars

Junction 18
(album: This Vicious Cycle)

Awake again...hopeless as tomorrow
I found a way to gaze at her just dreaming
of the way it would be
if we knew eachother brain to brain
then there´s those days
I pass up chances face to face
So here I stand with my chances close to none
I know there´s no way you´ll be the one
I think too much of consequences

Empty again
Nothing is so trivial
I count the days upon my wrists with empathy
It´s just every day we bleed to let them know we´re here
We fall to the floor and their slight glances do us in
We choose the nights but we never make a sound
There´s got to be some way you won´t turn me down
Just one chance to turn you around

One more day it´s said and done
It´s been a while since I´ve had just one
Do you ever hear them say, "You do it to yourself"

And we must hide but keep our past
How can I go on here
With my face to the floor
It´s windy again
Felt the sickness cover me
I just had to leave
The party here just weakens me
I walked alone on the boardwalk filled with drunken teens
I cannot compete
With all these boys who get what they need

Don´t ever give up
It´s the life that you´ve won
But sometimes I think you won´t be the one
Be the one who resides in my arms
Who am I kidding?
To dream...never winning
It´s 5:00 and there´s no super or a star
They´re the mirrors who tell us who we are
It´s all so stupid
This game with cupid
We can never decide which route to fly
The streets are burning with our hearts inside

One more day it´s said and done
It´s been a while since I´ve had just one
Do you ever hear them say "you do it to yourself"

And we can´t sleep without your voice
Why don´t you just take us right into your soul
Then all this stuff would erase
