Rachie - Unknown Mother Goose

★ verse 1 ★
What if i tried showing you a love that could be?
In your eyes, what’s the love that you see?
I’m stringing words, full of lyrical melodies
As the music ripples right out of me
Until i try painting you with love that could be
All these colors are just a fantasy
When i’m alone, swallowed by the sounds in the air
It’s a sensation nothing else on this earth can compare

★ verse 2 ★
Inside a life, drowning in monotonous noise
That was the life of every girl and every boy
They sound the same, every song recyclеd again
Oh, plug my ears and let it end
What if you triеd showing me a love that could be?
In your dialogue would you answer me?
But if you shut me out, pretending it was enough
Then hopefully this song will cause you to wake up!

★ pre-chorus 1 ★
A forgotten story, of stardom and glory, is now all that haunts me
Before doors, it’s got me right down to the core, i can’t take anymore, see?
If even a freudian slip of the tongue is permitted in lyrical melodies
If ever i cannot enjoy spitting verses i like without swallowing back tears
If meaning the void in my heart’s gonna tear me apart when it finally breaks free
Then let me scream out!

★ chorus ★
If this world casts me aside to die before i’m through
I just wanna know if i could sing this song of love to you
One more time, i’m gonna try and find the voice to bring
All the feelings that nobody really cares enough to sing
Honestly, tell me can you see me through the screen?
Honestly, tell me can you see me through the screen?
All anyone has done is shoot me with a gun
While claiming that it’s all in good fun
Even so, i keep wishing i could love it so
Even so, i keep wishing you would love me so
Ah, that would mean the world to me if you could give me meaning

★ refrain ★
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

★ post-chorus ★
Pick me up, pick me up again
Pick me up, pick me up again
Pick me up, pick me up again
Pick me up, pick me up again

★ verse 3 ★
If you told me of a love that could be
Somehow, tell me now, who’s the person you see?
Tearing apart the box in which you’re guarding your heart
C’mon and let me see the you in your fantasies
What if i could become the love i wanted to be?
Somehow, tell me now, what are the colors you see?
The grey and white symbols that you see on the screen
Won’t get across the loneliness that i feel!

★ bridge ★
Imposters and copycats
Swarming in this site like rats
Finally are slinking back
(lie-le-lie-lie)
Half-heartedly making things
Forcing a program to sing
Now throwing the towel in
(bye-buh-bye-bye)
Even so you stayed behind
Fighting back the urge to cry
Even after all this time
(why-wh-why-why?)
I know the answer now
All of you out there stood your ground
So all the boys and girls in town
Shout loud and stand proud!

★ pre-chorus 2 ★
The pain and shame, and sorrow and rage, the delight and the heartache
Feelings i can’t escape, tomorrow today, no, we won’t ever part ways
But if there’s not anything else on the planet that can keep me smiling through all my tears
Just what would it do to the feelings inside me that’s carried me through all of these years?
Would that be the end? would i give it all up just because of some dumb stupid fear?
No way i’d like that!

★ chorus ★
Tell me how, how i can love the world i left behind?
Will i have to keep on rolling on until the end of time?
No, i think, i might as well write you a simple song
All the feelings that people have long ignored will now live on
As for you, tell me what would you want differently?
As for you, tell me what would you wish differently?
Though only barely breathing
My heart is living in the moment like it’s just the beginning
Honestly, tell me can you see me through the screen?
Honestly, tell me can you see me through the screen?
Shining so bright before my eyes, will it light up the future?

★ refrain ★
(ohh!) oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(oh-oh-oh-ohh!) oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(oh-oh-oh-ohh!) oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(oh-oh-oh-ohh!) oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

★ outro ★
Hey, if you’re gonna scream of your love
I’ll be here to listen no matter what
You’re stringing words, full of lyrical melodies
Though it’s a lot, we still continue to dream
What if i tried showing you a love that could be?
All of these lyrics would flash by on the screen
Oh, that forgotten story known to everybody
I’ve been humming it out for the world to hear it seems
