  1. 1. In the times of despair
    I sit and retell
    Those times that we had
    This can only be so much
    So much pain that you put me through
    I only sit and think

    I look around to my surroundings and think
    Then the thoughts come of despair
    I get put through
    I have to be put through the pain to retell
    The pain is so much
    But it’s all we had

    Too many memories we had
    It just makes me think
    It’s just too much
    It’s a rollercoaster of despair
    I now have to retell
    Too much to go through

    Too many things to go through
    It’s all our painful memories
    I feel like I have to retell
    Leave me alone and think
    I’m filled with despair
    The pain and joy is unbalanced by so much

    There is too much
    I know have to go through
    My world is now filled with despair
    It’s just about everything we had
    All day I just think
    I have to now go and retell

    Tell me these stories to retell
    I can only handle so much
    Leave me alone to think
    Let me go through
    There is so much that we had
    Let go of the despair

    The despair is to retell
    The things we had is so much
    Let me go through and think

  2. When you escape from reality you feel peace
    You feeling is freedom
    When you don’t care what others think that is joy
    Don’t be afraid to dream
    Hold your head up
    Don’t give up on yourself

    You are the only one who cares about yourself
    Always stay at peace
    The only way to go is up
    Don’t let anyone disturb your freedom
    Live your dream
    That will be your only joy

    That is so important joy
    Don’t let yourself
    Down, always have a dream
    Sleep will bring you peace
    When asleep you will have freedom
    No one can wake you up

    You can’t wake yourself up
    You can always feel joy
    With deep sleep you find eternal freedom
    Freedom is where you find yourself
    With freedom you gain peace
    Sleep is when you dream

  3. When she thinks about it, she doesn’t even know how she would function if she lost everything
    But she still remains to be greedy
    As much as she wants to, she just can’t change
    What she’s doing to everyone around her just isn’t right
    What she has just doesn’t seem to be enough for her, she thrives to get more
    This all needs to come to a stop

    It’s as if she’s addicted to getting more, she can’t come to a stop
    She’s blind to the fact that she is going to lose everything
    Why is it that she still needs more?
    As much as she gets from everyone, it’s still not enough, she’s extremely greedy
    As much as she knows that what she is going is wrong she just can’t do what’s right
    The problem is from deep within her, it reminds to get bigger, but that just isn’t enough to make her change


    She wants to change, but she just can’t change
    Sooner or later, if she wants to or not it will stop
    What’s going on just isn’t right
    It’s as if she wants it all to be gone, but what she’s doing, it’s only a matter of time before it’s all gone; everything
    She’s almost lost everything, but that still doesn't stop her from wanting more, she continues to be greedy
    She’s at the point where she doesn't even know why she’s craving for more

    What she is doing is becoming a habit to her; she needs to think things through more
    It’s almost to the point where it’s going to be too late to change
    She just doesn’t see herself stopping, it’s always about more, she’s can’t help but to be greedy
    The risk of quickly losing everything still doesn’t make her stop
    She’s not understanding that she can’t have everything
    Maybe deep down she does understand but just can’t do what’s right

    As much as doing the right thing is better, she just doesn’t want what’s right
    She tries to take in less much she just can’t, it’s always about more
    Sadly, as much as she wants it to, it will not end with her getting everything
    It’s only going to work out if she comes to a change
    This cycle will not come to a stop
    It’s as if she will always be greedy

  4. My love,
    I’m so sorry you have to live with this pain
    my heart rips as I see your suffering
    It hurts that there is not more happiness
    It truly is a disaster
    But why do I feel peace

    Even though I do have peace
    the tears fall but don’t dim my love
    why did it have to end in this disaster
    it was replaced with pain
    where did all that go, all the happiness
    and much suffering

    So much suffering
    No peace
    Why is there no more happiness
    Why is there no more love
    So much pain
    the whole place, a disaster

    Why did this happen, this disaster
    torture and suffering
    I hate seeing you in pain
    to see you without peace
    why love?
    You were ripped out of happiness

    you have no happiness
    no one is safe from the disaster
    no one has any more love
    everyone is suffering
    There is no peace
    My heart, the pain

    There is pain, there is disaster
    There is no happiness, just suffering
    There is no peace, so why do I keep trying to safe all the love?
