The earth is my planet
Is too cold out here,
But they don't want me here,
They don't care about how I feel,
There is no love on there eyes,
Isolation towards me is written
All over them,
Cos they don't want...

You can't love me tomorrow
To your desire
I do your will
Not because
Am too good baby
It been a while

Care not


Oh baby love me now
For...

doing carwheels in multiples of three

our pockets are empty

our dreams are dieing
just for...

if the late 
still rest in peace 
when justice is 
never in existence
in our present existence

who really cares 
about those complains
you bleed 
ever wonder why

our dreams are full
