Happy Birthday, Suleyman

Hung up here on a web of comfort
Taking off with nowhere to go
Standing tall with but your new cloak armor
Making out like it's all been done
It's harder than it seems
You slip but never fall

They'll take you, when you wont come back to me

Tearing down what we built up so well
Layin' low as you came my way
Look alive with your head on backwards, goin off when there's nothin wrong
It's only in your dreams, but it felt like it was real

They'll take you, when you won't come back to me

Hang loose, my friend dont walk away from me, because i really think you're cool
Is it worth turning back despite these open hands?
You're tearing me apart.

They'll take you, when you won't come back to me
(you need to find yourself).
