lyrics

My dear little diary
Would you like a slice of my life
As I'm confined to my bed waiting to blow the candles out
There is a bird of ill omen over my shoulder
That is looking forward to celebrate a long lost season

The sun is shining but I feel so cold inside
Youth happens only once in a lifetime

I'm having a psycho beach nightmare
Trapped in a white straightjacket
Another endless cruel scummer

Every day is like a Sunday turning in decades
Where regrets and guilt keep me tightened by the legs
I have been dreaming of a world where there was no one around
But while I'm wasting my days I am missing all the fun

Won't someone rescue me from my self-made tower?
If you look beyond the trees will you catch my fall?

I'm having a psycho beach nightmare
Trapped in a white straightjacket
Another endless cruel scummer
I'm having a psycho beach nightmare
Sleepwalking in a casket
Another useless cruel scummer

I'm staring at them passing by
They are running scared but I wonder why
They cannot see me through my window shades
Just like I'm not even there

I have been dreaming my life instead of living it
But the dreams have turned sour because frogs don't make princes
I have been counting my hours instead of making my hours count
But when your hours are so long you can't help but see them pass

I can't wait to get old to finish this once for all
But if I ever get there will I be alone?
