Are we eternal?

Take back your life
Oh no, it's not too late
We're all standing in the shallows,
waiting to be saved 
You can’t undo everything but you can start, 
you can start again.

Everyday I fight a war against the mirror
I can't take the person staring back at me

I'm a hazard to myself
Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
It's bad when you annoy yourself, so irritating
Don't want to be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else
I wanna be somebody else

LA told me,
‘You'll be a pop star.
All you have to change is everything you are.’
Tired of being compared to damn Britney Spears
She's so pretty
That just ain't me

So doctor, doctor

won't you please prescribe me something?
A day in the life of someone else

It might hurt you but it's KILLING me.

Should've kissed you there
I should've held your face 
I should've watched those eyes instead of run in place 
I should've called you out 
I should've said your name 
I should've turned around

I should've looked again

But oh, I'm staring at the mess I made
I 'm staring at the mess I made

I 'm staring at the mess I made
As you turn, you take your heart and walk away
Should've held my ground 
I could've been redeemed for every second chance that changed its mind on me 
I should've spoken up 
I should've proudly claimed 
that oh my head's to blame 
for all my heart's mistakes

O T O T W.

And I need you tonight
I'll fall asleep and it's alright
Close my eyes and I'll be by your side

We could pack up and leave all our things behind

No fact or fiction or storyline

Cause I need you more than just for tonight

You're oh oh oh like air

I can't stop my breathing in

I'm weak and you were my medicine

I won't stop till I am under your skin

We're on our knees

with our fingers in our throats

to fit into the smallest jeans

We're on our knees

~

Counting carbs and calories

Slaves to this routine

It's such a shame

~

Diseased, this city is, spread by magazines

and movie scenes that almost could

welcome you to Hollywood

Diseased, this city is

~

We're flying high on hopes and dreams

and crash land to reality

Killing yourself is an addiction

We starve ourselves 'till our next audition

~

Dreaming of beauty

I'm dreaming of seeing them

Dreaming of beauty

I'm dreaming of being them

We all want something

more than just a

simple life

The first time staying out all night. The last that we got away with lies. I can hear it in the back of my mind. Over and over again. I want to do it again

'Cause I was there when you said forever and always
and you didn't mean it baby, I don't think so.

And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop

Do you believe in hallucinations, silly dreams or imaginations?
Don't go away cause I feel you this time
Don't go away cause I need you there this time.
