lyrics

Om sanningen kom fram, att jag stannade
Att jag stannar I din famn
(if the truth comes out that I stayed in your arms)
Kommer du få vara min, eller lämna ingenting
(will you ever be mine or leave nothing behind)
I din vaka sorgen blir instinkt
(in your wake grief becomes an instinct)

Jag kommer ner och ser dig
(I'm coming down to see you)
Jag kommer ner och ber
(I'm coming down to beg)
Sakta faller säkert
(surely falling slowly)
Sakta faller jag
(slowly I fall)

In the palm of your hands the story began
As many before, your sentences ran, I wanted it more
Ooooh
In the back of my mind, the emptiest line
Is how I define, a meaningless rhyme that dances in time
Ooooh

Aim for empty
Fill it, sell it.
Ground beneath me
Stutters, shudders, scatters.

Kameelah:
Once Needy I was greedy for the love for the love,
I gave free for a buzz.
When it ended, I was leaning for the drug,
had to learn true meaning one love

I aint sure if It’s need or I want I ignored all signs reinvented myself
can’t heal because I miss you its official going numb
now I’m here resurrecting my wealth

In the palm of your hands the story began
As many before, your sentences ran, I wanted it more
Ooooh
In the back of my mind, the emptiest line
Is how I define, a meaningless rhyme that dances in time
Ooooh

Aim for empty...

As many before...

In the palm of your hands the story began
As many before, your sentences ran, I wanted it more
Ooooh
In the back of my mind, the emptiest line
Is how I define, a meaningless rhyme that dances in time
Ooooh

In the palm of your hands the story began
As many before, your sentences ran, I wanted it more
Ooooh
In the back of my mind, the emptiest line
Is how I define, a meaningless rhyme that dances in time
Ooooh
