lyrics

So, this is the sound of giving up...

I'd try again but I'd fail because I've lost faith in everything.
I'm losing touch with each passing day.

And I tried.

Round and around and around we go - there's nothing else.
I've got nothing to report,
I lost touch with Kflash.
In my stupid days, I knew I was everything.

Don't rely on me, I'm a criminal - bad bad criminal!
Just decry me, I'm the bad one had bad bad times.

And I lose myself because I know I'm growing old

Attack attack like Spring Heeled Jack!

I alive.

There's a longing pretence to reach for that state of emptiness.
If you see yourself, you'll never reside in that peaceful place.
Jung lied!

I gave myself away, I'm falling.
You gave yourself away, you're falling.
We all gave ourselves away we're falling.
I've come to far.

Here I am on the street - you see I'm out of reach.
(so so far away).
And all the kids they say I'm out of touch.
If it's peace you want, put your head on the block.
