Thomas, Du Lugter

Round in circles i go again, What am I doing here? Voices echo, their eyes follow me.. I wish that I could be more. I strum and i strum, I dont know where im going. Am i brain storming or a storm in my brain? Oh im so tired my heads killing me. Im surrounded by people, but i know they cant see.. Everything, everywhere all at once, I dont know what to do. Right or wrong? I dont know anymore- But i really wish that i knew. Make a ring around the daisies, Oh my heads’ going crazy. Around and round my thoughts go I feel high but im so low. Oh im so tired, my heads’ killing me, Im surrounded by people but i cant let them see.. Run and run and run and run Around and round and round my thoughts go, Times fast but its so slow. Oh im so tired my heads’ killing me Im surrounded by people Round in circles i go again, What am i doing here?

[Verse] Well I rode that old trail thought I knew every mile Had my boots had my hat I was walkin' with style But the dust kept on risin' the wind never slowed And I kept on believin' in stories untold [Verse 2] Saw a shadowy figure in the twilight's last gleam With a gaze like a wildfire it shattered my dream Said “The heart is a highway not paved in pure gold” And the tales that they whisper will leave you so cold [Chorus] Killin' my darlings they fall in the night Swept by the river washed out by the light Each memory forsaken each promise I cry In a land of forgotten where lovers must die [Verse 3] In the silence of moonlight where secrets reside Love and despair like fast rivers collide I held to your echo it's slipped from my hand Wanderin' the wasteland where heartache is planned [Chorus] Killin' my darlings they fall in the night Swept by the river washed out by the light Each memory forsaken each promise I cry In a land of forgotten where lovers must die [Bridge] Through the thorny briar where wild roses bloom Even the fairest will meet darkest doom Lyrics and heartache are just part of the show In the theater of shadows we'll reap what we sow

[Verse] Bajo las olas Donde el sol no brilla Navega la sirena con su voz sombría Canta sus historias De amores perdidos Devora la noche En sueños vencidos [Verse 2] Ojos de abismo Reflejan desdén Corazón roto En la marea sin tren Lleva en su canto Tristeza eterna Navega en soledad En su corteza tierna [Chorus] Llora la sirena Sus lágrimas de sal En la cueva oscura Su voz mortal Cuentos de naufragios Y almas errantes La oscuridad la abraza En la marea tan grande [Bridge] Susurra a los vientos Su melancolía Sus gritos se pierden En la infinidad Un canto mágico Que rompe el día La sirena solitaria Sufre en la mar [Verse 3] Las algas la enredan En danzas sin fin Silencio de océano Donde no hay jazmín Canta en su pecho La esperanza quebrada En las profundidades Siempre tan callada [Chorus] Llora la sirena Sus lágrimas de sal En la cueva oscura Su voz mortal Cuentos de naufragios Y almas errantes La oscuridad la abraza En la marea tan grande

“Strangers in Pieces” I’ve got this feeling, it’s hard to explain, Missing someone I’ve never met—what a game. I see them in faces, in people passing by, A smile here, a laugh there, yeah, I get by. I’ve got puzzle pieces, scattered and torn, Borrowed bits from people like patches worn. Building you up from everyone I see, But oh, what a joke, you’re just haunting me. I don’t know if you’re real or just my mind’s little mess, But here’s to the stranger I miss best. Your eyes are in the barista who doesn’t know my name, Your laugh’s in that old friend who moved away. I’m piecing you together like a DIY dream, While the world watches me come apart at the seams. Maybe you’re out there, or just a trick in my head, A ghost I created, a friend I never met. I’ve got half a heart for a face I can’t find, And sarcasm fills in the blanks you left behind. I’ve got puzzle pieces, scattered and torn, Borrowed bits from people like patches worn. Building you up from everyone I see, But oh, what a joke, you’re just haunting me. I don’t know if you’re real or just my mind’s little mess, But here’s to the stranger I miss best. So here’s to the strangers who bring you to life, For now, they’re my crutch, they’re my joke, they’re my knife. And I’ll keep searching, sarcastic and blue, For the missing piece… that’ll probably never be you.

[Verse] I roam the streets of distant lands But my heart's in the soil where I tread A flag that waves above the sands Echoes stories that we've bled [Chorus] Winds of my homeland call my name Across the seas we are the same No matter where my feet may tread I'll find my way back home instead [Verse 2] In crowded cities far and vast I carry memories of our past A melting pot of laughs and tears We’ve built a legacy that endears [Chorus] Winds of my homeland call my name Across the seas we are the same No matter where my feet may tread I'll find my way back home instead [Bridge] Borders may divide us wide But in our hearts we coincide Under skies so vast and blue Our spirit flows Forever true [Verse 3] Embrace the cultures Hear the sound In every corner We're renowned But when the sun sets down to rest I feel my homeland is the best

[Verse] Half past midnight on the road Take another sip of my drink Streetlights blur the heavy load Got no time to stop and think [Verse 2] Radio static fills the air Take another sip of my drink Eyes are glazed but I don't care Rubber burns on highway's ink [Chorus] Don't know where the lines all went Take another sip of my drink Promises broke the hearts I sent Life unravels in a blink [Verse 3] Speeding past the warning signs Take another sip of my drink Red and blue lights on my mind Consequence is on the brink [Chorus] Don't know where the lines all went Take another sip of my drink Promises broke the hearts I sent Life unravels in a blink [Verse 4] Morning comes with heavy guilt Take another sip of my drink Bridges burned but not yet built Regret in every clink and chink

(Verse 1) We met beneath that old oak tree, Where laughter danced, just you and me. You said forever was our song, But somewhere, love went all wrong. (Chorus) Our past love, like shadows in the night, Whispers of dreams that once felt so right. Even though we're worlds apart, I still hold you deep in my heart. (Verse 2) Remember that rainy Sunday vibe? We made a fort, our love was alive. Sharing secrets and midnight snacks, Now those moments fade, they won't come back. (Chorus) Our past love, like shadows in the night, Whispers of dreams that once felt so right. Even though we're worlds apart, I still hold you deep in my heart. (Bridge) But in the echoes, I find some peace, Hope in the memories that won’t cease. Maybe someday, we’ll cross that line, A chance to heal and redefine. (Verse 3) I walk the streets where we once roamed, Haunted by the love we called home. Your smile still lingers in my mind, But I know it’s time to leave you behind. (Chorus) Our past love, like shadows in the night, Whispers of dreams that once felt so right. Even though we're worlds apart, I still hold you deep in my heart. (Outro) So here's to us, the good and the bad, The moments we shared that still make me glad. Though we’re not together, I'm sure we’ll see, Our past love shaped who I’ll come to be.

(Verse 1) I never thought a friend like you I'd find Someone to leave the world behind Just talking for hours, beneath the sun A friendship like ours, second to none (Chorus) Thank you for walking into my life Easing all the sorrow and the strife A friend forever, that's my hope, my plea Just you and me, eternally (Verse 2) Days turn to weeks, weeks turn to years Our bond grows stronger, banishing all fears No barriers between us, open and free You share your secrets, confide in me (Verse 3) Through thick and thin, I'll always be there A shoulder to cry on, a friend who cares Your comfort with me, a precious thing The joy and the laughter our friendship will bring (Verse4) Forever and always, that's my vow With you as my friend, I'll take a bow So grateful for you, it's plain to see My dearest friend, eternally. (Verse 5) We can laughed together, we can cry together Shared secrets whispered, year after year A friendship strong, a bond so true But something's missing, and it's you (Verse 6) Tell me your dreams, your hopes, your fears Let me wipe away any falling tears Unlock your heart, let it unfold A story whispered, never to grow old (Bridge) Don't hold back, let your feelings flow Trust in me, let your true self show I'll be your anchor, your steady guide Through stormy weather, side by side (Outro) More than a friend, that's what I crave A closeness deeper than words can save A confidante, a soul mate dear My closest friend, forever near So let's be closer, let's intertwine Our hearts and souls, forever combined More than a friend, that's my plea My closest friend, forever you and me.

**Verse 1:** Lately, I’m measuring each word I say, Tiptoeing softly, trying not to stray, Afraid to breathe, afraid to voice my heart, Holding on tight as the daylight starts to part. Lost in the silence that we’ve built like walls, Can’t find my way through, can’t hear my own calls, It’s a delicate dance, love’s a tightrope we try, One misstep and it all could say goodbye. **Chorus:** I’m walking on eggshells, terrified to break, Dancing on landmines, praying it’s not too late, These battles wear me down, chipping at my soul, But I can’t let go, because you make me whole. **Verse 2:** I used to know just how to make you smile, Now I’m treading carefully, every step’s a trial, Feels like we’re strangers in lovers’ disguise, Holding to memories, afraid to say our goodbyes. These whispered goodnights feel empty and cold, Holding on tight while the pressure takes hold, I’m fighting for us, pouring out my heart, But the weight of this love is tearing us apart. **Chorus:** I’m walking on eggshells, terrified to break, Dancing on landmines, praying it’s not too late, These battles wear me down, chipping at my soul, But I can’t let go, because you make me whole. **Bridge:** If I could find the words, I’d speak them so clear, If I could read your heart, there’d be nothing to fear, But we’re buried in shadows, scared to lose, I’d rather fight for you than have my heart bruised. **Chorus:** I’m walking on eggshells, terrified to break, Dancing on landmines, praying it’s not too late, These battles wear me down, pulling me apart, But I’d rather hold on than lose this aching heart. **Outro:** Yeah, I’d rather hold on, even through the storm, 'Cause love like ours—it's where I feel warm. So I’ll keep walking on eggshells for your embrace, To stay by your side, through every heartache we face.

Saying goodbye isn't the hard part Filling the emptiness she left is the challenge Am I too sensitive? To vulnerable? To dumb? Every girl who makes me happy seems to leave and hurt me as quick as they arrive I gave you the key to my heart, thinking I could trust you I was wrong How many times can the world hurt a man before he hurts it back Why does it feel like I get crushed by every girl Maybe it's my fault Did I do something wrong? Is it the way I sit or the way I act Is it my own doing that gets me hurt? A boy like me in such a big world can never know Was it your dark curls or you're hazel eyes that I liked Maybe it was your kind persaniltly How you remind me of sweet, sweet candy But I'll never taste that candy again From now on, we are like two strangers Strangers with lots of memories, some good, some bad Some I wish I could forget, though I know I cant Others memriose I hope to keep with me my whole life

[Verse] Morning sun on the dusty trail Coffee boiling in a battered pail He loves his brew strong and bold Like the stories the old folks told [Verse 2] Under the stars he rides alone A gaming console by his side Modding worlds till the break of dawn Pixels glowing where dreams reside [Chorus] Coffee cowboys drinkin' deep Double shot to help them keep Riding through their pixel dreams Where everything's not what it seems [Verse 3] High noon showdown in a digital town Quick draw challenges pixel crowns In the saloon he takes a sip With every mod he lets creativity rip [Bridge] Code and caffeine dance in flight Transforming night into a vibrant light They mix like whiskey in a storm Brewing warm in tales new born [Chorus] Coffee cowboys drinkin' deep Double shot to help them keep Riding through their pixel dreams Where everything's not what it seems
