Millencolin Album

Everything will soon turn black,
so here's my letter.
To get it off my chest.
Promise father, don't look back,
it's not for the better.
I know you tried your best.

[Chorus:]
Everybody seems so happy like they all share
something I haven't felt for years.
For long I've tried to just hold on but now I don't care
I'm closing down my thoughts and fears.
Forgive me, life is cruel.
I'm leaving you.

Hear you little brother me,
you know I'm sorry,
for every high hand.
Give my love to mother,please
tell her not to worry.
I hope she'll understand.

So long, don't wait for me in vain.
What's wrong with being free from pain?
Be strong and live your lives like I never could.
Farewell, let the memories be nice.
To hell!? Don't think you go there twice.
I'm well off right here, it's more than good.

Everything is up to you, oh that you aware
yeah you know just what you gotta do, the heart must be fare
you got your advance
forget about your worries now, we all make mistakes
you gotta make it anyhow 'cause you got what it takes right

now here's your big chance
you gotta make a move now

'Cause you're free to be all that you want to
So never let the days pass by
There's not a thing in this world that you can't do
All you gotta do is try
And you want to, yeah, we all want to

You know you gotta have a goal, before it's too late
So come on, you just have to be careful
just make your own fate now
You gotta make an effort, you gotta make your move now

'Cause you're free to be all that you want to
So never let the days pass by
There's not a thing in this world that you can't do
All you gotta do is try
And you want to, yeah we all wanna learn to fly

Yeah I know it's not an easy mission
To keep your goals up and so high
'Cause I know you've got ambition
So don't deny, now all you gotta do is try

'Cause you're free now
Yeah, you're free to be all that you want to
But let it be now
So never let the days pass by
'Cause you're free to be all that you want to
So never let the days pass by
There's not a thing in this world that you can't do
now all you gotta do is try, and you want to

I shouldn't live in this part of town.
Human nature sure has let me down.
Segregation! Does it rign a bell?
Well, I've gotta name that you can't spell.

Oh yeah, I know I've said it all before,
that I don't care where I belong no more.
Well, I'm just amazed cause when I look around around,
there are only rich, blond kids at the near playground.

At the Wellpark Tramstation they get in and you get out.
It's a modern world sensation and it makes me wonder.
Yeah, it makes me wonder what it's all about?

I say it's fear, it's fear, for all what's queer.
If it's strange we panic. Yeah, we won't come near.
And this, this fear, won't disappear.
No, the problems organic. Yeah, it will stay here.

I know I'm here cause I've got the cash.
Yeah, once you've got the money there won't be no clash.
Yeah, money is kind of sweet, it solves a lot for me.
God bless A.Smith and the economy.

So what's a citizen to do?

Even the smallest thing could be enough for you,
Still it was too hard for me to give.
Even the smallest thing could break your heart in two,
No wonder why its hard for you to live.

Just like I turned you down,
I always shut you out.
No matter who I blame you're not around,
I cannot turn back time, I cannot change a thing.
No matter what they say, I shut you out.

Even the smallest thing can make your day complete,
I've never seen a bigger smile that yours.
Even the smallest thing can wipe you off your feet,
When no ones catching you, you hit the floor.

Just like I turned you down,
I always shut you out.
No matter who I blame you're not around,
I cannot turn back time, I cannot change a thing.
No matter what they say, I shut you out.

Just like I turned you down,
I always shut you out.
No matter who I blame you're not around,
I cannot turn back time, I cannot change a thing.

I had a dream last night, a dream about a bear,
dancing in a trenchcoat, hat, and vest.
It didn't take me long to get me well aware
of who was hiding underneath that dress.
For twenty six long years I've known that guy
and I would say his limit is the sky.
I know he would say that it's no big deal.
Humbleness is not needed, you're for real.

Tonight, you turned into Supernova
The Pepper will soon be in clover.
You got your signs right down at Rover.
Yeah, you turned into Supernova.

He'll show you how to pull the trigger on a gun.
I've heard that he's in such a rage.
He'll show you more cause his career have just begun
so watch out for when he will hit the stage.
For twenty six long years I've known that man
and I'm proud to say that we're from the same clan.
A third one just like me and that's alright
but a star like Supernova is way more bright.

I wouldn't say it's over.
You got your signs at Rover
and soon you'll be in clover.

The Dude is out there tonight,

I thought the hard times were well over now.
Brighter days would come and stay.
I guess I'm just not that lucky somehow,
cause you are standing in my way.
No matter how well I do,
I know I'll never be good enough for you.

[Chorus:]
You'd love to watch me breakdown.
You'd love to watch me go insane.
You'd love to watch me breakdown.
I am a fool and I remain the same.

My name is golden, but you call me pale.
Your heart will never let me in.
I know you curse, but smile inside when I fail.
Your jealousy is kept within.
No matter how good I play,
you only focus on the blunders I say.

Yeah, I remain the same.
You hate me cause I'm strange,

Hey, what the hell do you want me to do?
hey, does it look like steady to you?
you might look twice, 'cause I'mim moving

O.K., you see that i can walk where you stood
but still your trying to make me talk like you would
your attention's nice, your improving

for all you know your doing fine
but i guess it shows
that even you'll lead our rays to shine

[Chorus]
so shut your mouth now big boy
I'm just myself not your toy
its in my nature to be changing
now listen, so hard to say
you cannot make me to be
someone who never will be changing

so what the hell do you want me to say?
another half ass rhyme, another cliche?
you might be right for this one time

you take for granted "..........."
it doesn't make sense to leave after you
so this one last line makes it rhyme

So how would you know?
I'm just a fool
But I guess that shows
You can't judge a dog just by it's drool

[Chorus]

and I'm loosing you, makes a smile on my face
nothing new, not hard to replace
I'm loosing you, but I'm not loosing ground
pik-a-booh, you won't be around, you wont be around
no you wont be around

[Chorus]

"cause I'm changing with time
that's not a crime
someone like you cannot be changing me
i change with time
that's not a crime

Looking back on what I've done
Regret is all I see
I miss you
And the way it used to be

My selfish ways have put me here
Alone I feel ashamed
And I know
That I am the one to blame

I know you feel the same
I don't believe that a future day
Will make it go away
I don't believe that a single try
Will make me see the light

I start again back on square one
Forgot what I've become
Now I am looking back on what I've done

I have to trust my guts this time
To believe that I'll be fine
I have to trust myself
I'll be okay

But I was fine today
Because I believe that a future day
Will make it go away
And I believe that a single try
Will help destroy the light

A single try
A single try
A single try

Will make me see the light

Because I believe that a future day
Will make it go away
And I believe that a single try
Will help destroy the light

Because I believe a... (future day)
Yeah I believe in a future day
Will make it go away (future day)
Yeah it helps it go away

Destroy the...
Destroy the light
Destroy the light

I'm on the bottom, deep down. Yeah, in fear is where I stay,
cause penalization and bullying have made me what I am today.
For too long I've been pushed around and my scars still burn.
Now look at my reaction, for the worse I'm gonna take a turn.

So here I come with violence and me you can not stop.
Get out of my sight cause it's time for payback.
I'll fight whoever, yeah, I'll hit them 'til they drop.
Cause this time I'm gonna be on top. Yeah, I'm gonna be on top.

It's bottles up inside of me, I gotta let it all out.
Since the day that I was born I've taken shit, so I'm mad no doubt.
But I'm a victim, you see. It's always been my role.

You say you wanna leave me,
say you wanna be free
from everything you hate.
Get yourself together,
we'll always be together.
Love, you just can not rate.

Been so long since we hooked,
been so long since we took
time to get things right.
But I'll be here forever,
I'll lie to you forever.
Now, it doesn't look bright.

[Chorus:]
Nobody is killing more time than you and I.
Everybody's willing somehow to say goodbye.

I think we're getting used to,
used to be abused to.
Doubt is all there is.
We can not spread out wings out,
can not do a new thing.
Drought on what we miss.

When everything is falling,
it's like we both are crawling
around and around again.
Every fight is too long,
every word is too strong
Bound to end it all, but when?

The stalemate's on and what we had is dead and gone.
It's like we just don't care. We're going nowhere.

I wanna say goodbye. Yeah, I wanna say goodbye.
Goodbye to our big life lie, nothing's gonna be alright.
You know this is our best white lie. Nothing's gonna be alright.
Doesn't matter how we try, I wanna ask you why we can't let it die?
Even though we both have tried, you know I always question why.
Why we just can't let it die?

Take warning, Boxer, I threw it all away.
She, Tag's along, I'm only sleeping, Can't make me, Stay.
Time of her time, Bob, Get it rite.
Let's go, Duncan, Dress you up, Blindfold.
Talk to me, Shandi, The first part, As we're told.
Oh sister, Panic, One more night, Rip it out.

[Chorus:]
Cause I believe in Kingwood days.
Help me hold my feelings longer.
Kingwood days, make me stronger and alive.

Down in the valley, Old friend, Microphone.
Change of ideas, My poor brain, Monochrome.
Rats in the hallway, Soul on ice.
Only in dreams, Mindgames, Live to tell.
There'll be no teardrops tonight, Wheeler, Sliverbells.
Ten minutes, Welcome to paradise, Paralysed.

So all these words do they have a meaning?
It's all in vain to try to read between the lines.
But here's a hint, S-T-E-R-E-O.

When you are winning,
when you are winning I'm with you.
I'm sun and springing, yeah,
sun and springings what I do.
And I'm your best friend,
I'm your best friend, I pretend,
just like a new trend.
You know this friendship will soon end.

Cause when the hard times are coming
my true colors show.
And what I give you is nothing,
I say you're on your own.
Cause when the hard times are coming,
I'm the first to run.
So for the hard times,
you know you're on your own.

You made a bad stroke.
You made a bad stroke you should have known,
cause I'm all for smalltalk.
If you want smalltalk then pick up the phone
and I'll be your best friend.
Well, at least now for a little while,
but don't go around the bend,
cause I can only stand you when you smile.

Cause when the hard times are coming
my true colors show.
And what I give you is nothing,
I say you're on your own.
Cause when the hard times are coming,
I'm the first to run.
So for the hard times,
you know you're on your own.
Just like a sinking stone.

A friend in need is a friend indeed
that's what I've been told,
