Moonlight And I
03:30
|
|
||
Wandering through lightly buzzing evening streets
City lights are staring blankly back at me
Faces flicker by - the slideshow of the night
Fragments of the world in question reach my sight
Random bits of conversations in my ears
Someone else's stories don't belong to me
Someone else's glances never linger here
I pick up my pace to flee eternity
These are the samples of my dreams
Caught in the wire
Moonlight and I make a perfect team
Reflecting the fire
Older versions of my freedom nag at me
I've gone through all twenty seasons of the year
Trying to remember why I'm so afraid
Of losing what I've never ever really gained
These are the samples of my dreams
Caught in the wire
Moonlight and I make a perfect team
Reflecting the fire
These are the samples of my dreams
Wretchedly tremble in the wind
This wind is laughing in my face
"Here you are, it's all the same"
Where am I gonna run from here
Dragging a bag of mutated fears
It used to be a fairly simple game
But here I am and it's all the same
These are the samples of my dreams
Caught in the wire
Moonlight and I make a perfect team
Reflecting the fire

Endeavor

|

We stood in the park
Talked in the dark
You asked me to be here and see you
I looked at the stars
Searching for Mars
Thinking you don't want to hear it
I had it all ready
I had it all figured out
The earth wound up another round
Birds took once more off the ground
The colors fade the textures thin out
And I here still begin
You didn't agree
I set myself free
And promised it won't hurt forever
You stared at the trees
Said "Wait and see
I hope that it's worth the endeavor"
But I had it all ready
I had it all figured out
The earth wound up another round
Birds took once more off the ground
The colors fade the textures thin out
And I here still begin
The earth wound up another round
Birds took once more off the ground
Your colors fade your textures thin out
And I here still begin

Swayed
02:54
|
|
||
Pardon my intrusion
I believe I have something to say
Too many conclusions
I chaotically reach every day
Binding your excuses with my prudence
Leads to sleepless nights
Not sure who is losing I'm confusing
This is not my fight
Should have never stayed
Should have never swayed
Swayed away
If that's how you play
Should have never stayed
Stayed
Swayed
These fleeting resolutions
Briefly clear up my polluted mind
I'd give up illusions
If I knew what was on the other side
Should have never stayed
Should have never swayed
Swayed away
If that's how you play
Should have never stayed
Stayed
Swayed

Hollow
03:18
|
|
||
Give me
Give me a reason to follow
Follow your dreams
This rings hollow
It echoes too loud in my heart
My fostered indifferent heart
Show me
Show me your world of illusions
Brittle, infused with confusion
Oh, tell me, have you ever felt
So alone, so irrelevant,
Small and so bent?
Help me
Help me unveil hidden meanings
Years I have spent
Busy weaving
Old memories into my skin
To keep me safe from the future
The passions within
I listened to the wind
It told me nothing
I argued with the sea
Proving nothing
It’s time to shred this fantasy to pieces
I am safe now, safe is easy

Simple Dreams
04:21

|

Very simple dreams
I've been always dreaming before I met you
You have touched my skin
And I flowed through your fingers
Please catch me
Tired angel
You're the last one who still flies
Oh, would you circle
Once more through the night
Where have you been?
I didn't even know
That all this time I'd waited
Where should I begin
Telling you how I spend my days pretending
Tired angel
You're the last one who still flies
Oh, would you circle
Once more through the night
You say I need to sleep
I know I know I can't
The tide now recedes
Time and again
Tired angel
You're the last one who still flies
Oh, would you circle
Once more through the night

Nothing's Wrong
03:39
|
|
||
Woke up at night
Stare into silence
Next to you like a spy
Hard as we tried to pretend it won't find us
I think I will let you fly
Into the skies
And be done with this endless fear
To lose sight of something so clear
Waving away
The scents of defiance
Though seldom they grow too strong
Day after day
With surprising compliance
We quietly tag along
And nothing's wrong
As long as we seem sincere
We would belong somewhere else but we're here
We did this alone
Clung to the stones
To hold our fragile visions
If I were to let go
Would I deny myself a chance to reason?

Stay With Me
04:36
|
|

Wait
Don't you just go
Don't leave don't fight
Don't wash your tears into the night
Stay with me
Stay with me
Monsters of the dark
They wait outside
Once you're out there
You cannot hide
Stay with me
Stay with me
I will cover
Cover you from harm
I will hold you
Hold you in my arms
Let me shield your
Strange and tender heart
You won't fall apart
Words
They used to matter
Long ago
Now they scatter
Melt like snow
Stay with me
Stay with me
Screams or whispers
Tried them all in vain
My thoughts are ripples
In the rain
Stay with me
Stay with me
I will cover
Cover you from harm
I will hold you
Hold you in my arms
Let me shield your
Strange and tender heart
You won't fall apart
You won't fall apart
Strange, strangest of hearts
Strange, strangest of hearts

Room
04:39
|
|

The same old story on my mind
The same old pictures in my head
The same reflections on the walls
And there's no difference if I get up or I stay in bed
There's dangling world outside my window
There's varnished flaws inside my room
Inside my face
Behind my blinds
And question marks in their full bloom
The same old glued-on stars and skies
The same excuses run in loops
And nagging conscience in disguise
Still makes no difference if I get up or I stay in bed
Oh, sweet recoup
There's dangling world outside my window
There's varnished flaws inside my room
Inside my face
Behind my blinds
And question marks in their full bloom

Can't Heal
03:43
|
|
||
You see
The miles that lie between us
A hundred thousand minutes
Stretch away
You see
The gap is growing bigger
The memories deceive us
They turn gray
But you can't heal
What you can't feel
It's a sad and simple disillusion
You can't heal
What you can't feel
It's a sad and simple disillusion
How did we become
An empty name
A background hum
Avoided talk
Hammering clock
Bottled regrets
That pull us down like rocks
How did we let
The winter set
Into our hearts
Into our heads
We can't go back
Cannot retrack
All that has slipped away through the cracks
And no I don't understand
Why the hole is my chest still expands
I don't understand
With whom I am making amends
You see
I thought we had no limits
I thought time would forgive us
Anyway

One Day
02:51
|
|

There's light outside
And I will see it one day
I won't have to decide
If I should run or stay
I will feel no shame
For the breeze on my face
Won't have to explain
Until my lungs ablaze
I'll breathe out and wait
For the wind to change
I will stay up late
And I won't feel so strange
There's light outside
And I will see it one day
There's light outside
Light outside
Won't have to decide
Won't have to explain
