[Verse]
And if I ever end up in the dark again,
I hope my family will care to understand
It is never anything I ever intend,
but when it hits I snuff a bit by bit and I don't wanna pretend
that I can crack a smile today,
when I can find my soul in the bottom of an ashtray
I use a quote to fill this place,
cuz "nothing is alright, but everything is okay"
So they say - you live and you'll be learnin,
I only found out that I was gift, but in German
All I know is that I know nothing yet,
I just go with the go, skipping ready and set
And it's gonna hit me harder than a pain pill
that nothing else can ever make me dance like the guilt will
And if I ever cross what I've been plannin',
it's cuz nothing but these notes and tones is ever granted
[Chorus]
If I ever told you what I mean,
my soul is free and I can feel.
Words come to me as a gift and to thrill,
I'm in this world not to kill!
[Verse]
Now I can see, I can see
I was all lost inside of me
And I felt like
the world was gonna smash me to bits
But I had to get up, you see,
no one could do it instead of me
I don't know when my brain got so sick
that the skin of a coward was beginning to perfectly fit
It's like there were shards of glass flying everywhere
And I was in the middle - vaguely aware
It's easier to just drop in a pool of crimson
I almost forgot - everything has its reason
The glass was always there - smooth and musty
It just had to break to reflect me and push me
No good lesson was ever easily learned
And to rebuild I had to first let everything burn
[Chorus]
If I ever told you what I mean,
my soul is free and I can feel.
Words come to me as a gift and to thrill,
I'm in this world not to kill!
[Break]
Words come to me...
I'm in this world...
If I (ever told you)
If I (ever told you)
If I (ever told you)
If I (ever told you)
If I (ever told you)
If I (ever told you)
Told you what I mean
And if I ever end up in the dark again,
I hope my family will care to understand
It is never anything I ever intend,
but when it hits I snuff a bit by bit and I don't wanna pretend
that I can crack a smile today,
when I can find my soul in the bottom of an ashtray
I use a quote to fill this place,
cuz "nothing is alright, but everything is okay"
So they say - you live and you'll be learnin,
I only found out that I was gift, but in German

If I ever told you what I mean,
