Adios

Adios
Adios
Adios to your afternoon
Tonight i will be forever following the colosseum moon
into a certain room
Adios
Adios
I am sorry for quickly jumping into the train
I waited but no one came
You just a little bit too late
The decision is mine
The decision is mine
So let the lesson be mine
Let the lesson be mine
The decision is mine
The decision is mine
Cause the vision is mine
The vision is mine
Adios
Adios
Adios to the little child in me
who kept on blaming everyone else
instead facing his own defeat in Edmonton
After All, why should have no regrets
For if it wasn't for the mistakes I made yesterday
where will I had been by now
The decision is mine
The decision is mine
So let the lesson be mine
Let the lesson be mine
The decision was hard
The decision was hard
Cause the vision is mine
The vision is mine
Lest the trees cease breathing
Lest all the bees cease breeding
And all the salts in the dead sea ferment to honey
Until then, I will be forever
Chasing it all till the very end
The decision is mine
So let the lesson be mine
Cause the vision is mine
The decision is mine
So let the lesson be mine
Cause the vision is mine

Condolence

I swear, that you've seen me
Yes, you've seen me here before, before
And so don't tell it, don't tell it otherwise

This voice, this particular voice
Yes, you've heard it before, before
And so don't you dare tell it
Don't you dare tell it otherwise

No wonder, why the road seems so long
Cause I had done it all before
And I won

You felt this feeling, tell me don't be ashamed
You felt it before, before
And so don't tell me
Don't tell me otherwise

I almost forgot, foolish me, I almost forgot, forgot
That where I am from we see the rain
Before the rain even starts to rain

No wonder why you've been buggering me
This walk, it's a previous journey
And I won

Before I was born there was a storm
Before that storm there was fire
Burning everywhere, everywhere
And everything became nothing again
And then out of nothing
Out of absolutely nothing, I, Benjamin, I was born
So that when I become someone one day
I will always remember that I came from nothing

No wonder, why you've been buggering me
Cause this walk, it's a previous journey
And no wonder why the road seems so long
Cause I had done it all before
And I won

I'm sending my condolence
I'm sending my condolence to fear
I'm sending my condolence
I'm sending my condolence to insecurities

You should know by now
You should know by now
That I just don't care
For what you might say
Might bring someone downhill

I'm sending my condolence
I'm sending my condolence to fear
I'm sending my condolence
I'm sending my condolence to insecurities

I Won't Complain

It's a wonderful life, it's a wonderful life
Traversed in tears from the heavens
My heart is a mellow drum, a mellow drum in fact
Set alight by echoes of pain 24-7, 24-7

I dream, I smile, I walk, I cry
I dream, I smile, I walk, I cry

You might not say that it's a wonderful world
And it's a wonderful life
And it's a wonderful day
Just as yesterday

But I won't complain
No I won't complain

Though my good days are far gone
They will surely come back one morn
So I won't complain, no no

My mind is a mirror
A reflection only known to me
And for those who hate me, the more you hate me
The more you help me
And for those who love me, the more you love me
The more you hurt me
When I go to bed in the night, I see some children in the light
Fighting unknown shadows behind my mother's back
And although I don't understand my dreams, I know somewhere
There is hope, theres is hope, somewhere there is hope

I dream, I smile, I walk, I cry
I dream, I smile, I walk, I cry

You might not say that it's a wonderful world
And it's a wonderful life
And it's a wonderful day
Just as yesterday

But I won't complain
I won't complain, no no
No, no, I won't complain
No, I won't complain

Though my good days are far gone
They will surely come back one morn
So I won't, I won't complain
