Stranger

Wake up, my dear,
We’ve gotta pack the dream,
Unfreeze the moment.
You’ll see: we ought to change.
Go on, my dear,
We’ve checked each word,
Balanced each movement
We’re walking on the edge.
Get up and look outside,
The sky is crystal clear,
We’ve gotta move on.
Nothing stays the same.
And you will know
That some walls are alive,
And so are moments.
Who are we to blame?
Will I hold on to your words,
Mysterious stranger,
My hidden danger?
Will I find you in those chords-
Mysterious stranger?
Have I known you at all?
Come, step outside,
The world is moving fast,
Now that’s a given:
Cannot trust this fate.
Must leave behind
And hope that we can
Also be forgiven
For having met.
Will I hold on to your words…
Have I known you at all?

Out in the Rain
04:08
|

|
I saw it clear the other day
So majestic what she said
She said those words I knew
But her eyes gave away the truth
She went out on a moonlit stroll
But no one was there to watch her
She finds peace being alone with strangers
And now alone she was dying
I won’t be here tomorrow
I’ll take this pain and relive it
I’ll become insane when she comes
We’ll go out in the rain till she breaks
I’ll have nothing to give her
And that’s exactly what she expects
I’ll become insane when she comes
We’ll go out in the rain
Till she breaks free
It was the coldest winter so far
And I had no fireplace
Surely not a beloved’s warmth
Was to melt the ice off my face
I remembered how it felt
To lose someone I trust
But now I know how it feels
To lose the only one I have ever loved
I won’t be here tomorrow…
And now you know
How she broke free
There was nothing I could do
To make her stay here with me
Now I’m sane
And she’s free
I won't be here tomorrow…

All In My Hand
03:21
|
|||
|
And now I'm wandering along the frozen moments, stuck in between;
I can't breathe.
And now I'm wondering what could have been, would have been, should have been;
Holding it –
In my hand
In my hand…
I think I used to know better, back when I had much less to know;
Ironic.
But if words do lead nowhere, tell me, where can we go?
Holding it
In my hand
In my hand…
And it goes on, and it goes on, and it goes on, and it goes on
'Till we no longer
See the lines.
I never wanted this to be so real.
I never wanted you to feel
so –
And it goes on…

Red Sun

You've found me
Lost in your complexion
You had me
Taken by your affection
Down we go
Down, don't you know?
What we need
Is what we want
Red sun burns
Give us your shelter
Our naked skins cry out
Red eyes turn
To see us in motion
The future is vague for us
Down we go
Down, don't you know?
What we want
Is what we need
Red sun burns
Forgive us.

Liquid Moments
04:29
|

Let me ride upon the autumn wind
I would ride forever
Past the open plains as night grows still,
Let this magic last till dawn.
Let the mountains know that I'm alive,
I would run forever
Through the inner silence of the night,
Let me hold it, before it's gone.
I see the fire in your eyes,
It won't
Ever be the same.
Beneath the endless skies
It's all
Just a game.
Liquid moments in a paper cup
Liquid moments in a paper cup
Just this once
I can feel it in me
Screaming out…
Let me ride upon the autumn wind
I would ride forever
Past the open plains as night grows still,
Let this magic last till dawn.
Let the passion fill me up once more,
I would stay here forever.
Let me breathe the air and know for sure
That the world's moving on.
I see the fire in your eyes…
Liquid moments in a paper cup…

Echoes
03:44
|

|
This is not a goodbye song,
This is no goodbye.
I've no words and you've no answers
Yet our time goes by.
And I'd still cross the deepest ocean
Just to make you smile –
This is not a goodbye song,
Be mine for a while.
Every second is a trial,
Breathing in the cold denial,
Hear me
Through the echoes of our loss.
Time grows beautiful illusions,
Thoughts like knives and no solutions,
Hear me
Through the echoes of our loss.
This is not a goodbye song,
This is no goodbye.
I've no words and you've no answers,
Yet we dare not lie.
And I'd still hold your hand all night
So you don't disappear –
This is not a goodbye song,
Hold your dreams, my dear.
Every second is a trial…

Go Ahead
04:08
|

|
Well you've tried it
Many times before
Did you really believe
That you would grow to be so bold?
No no, you're not mistaken
You have found a new home now
No no, there's no room
For doubts nor regrets
Do you believe in taking action?
Do you look at your reflection
And like what you see?
The sign says go ahead
But you're too overwhelmed
You have compelled the people around you
Well, you have passed the test
And if I'll say go ahead
Go rock the world, son
And when you're down
Remember to hold on
You've passed with flying bullets, baby
And it's the Friday magic feeling
It's best now for you to rest,
Now there's your chance
Oh-oh, it's you who stopped
Yourself all of these years
Go-go and lose all these chains
Lose all these chains
Do you believe in taking action…
The sign says go ahead…

Misplaced
05:54
|

|
The sunlight hits my eyes
It's been ages since I frowned like this
And I couldn't remember the day
I last saw their faces smiling at me
The dark room raises its questions
And I raise a few of my own
Does it matter who is right?
Is there a meaning to right and wrong
Now?
All this time
And all of our mistakes
Made us pay the price
We're all the same
We are
Misplaced
We fall from grace
When we don't accept
Ourselves
We take so many things for granted
Underestimate our love
I wish I had another chance to prove
That everybody's wrong
But we hold these thoughts to be
The fools and dreamers' fantasy
Well I think it's better to dream
Than live out the self-fulfilling prophecy
All this time…
We're all the same…
Misplaced
We lose ourselves
To fear and hate
We do
Then we pay the price
We're all the same…

In Your Light
04:05
|
|||
|
When the night falls upon us
And every breath is a lie,
Will you be there to capture the morning
When I stand in your light?
When the silence grows deeper
And we're gripping it tight,
Will you break it with only a whisper
When I stand in your light?
And when the night falls upon us
And every breath is a lie,
Will you be there to capture the morning
When I stand in your light?
'Cause I might have forgotten
How stars grow in your light.
But I Gotta keep on breathing,
Gotta keep on breathing –
I just Gotta keep on breathing somehow.
Can you hear me now?
And the pain, it fades
So fast
Do you remember just what
It tastes like?
In night's embrace
At last
You let me see
How light remains
Unreachable.

Night too long
You’ve renamed this fear.
Stay alone –
Draw all thoughts
‘Till they’re gone.
Have to crawl
Back into the pit
Of a soul
To tear all remains,
Absorb the pain
‘Till it goes dull.
Keep breathing slowly
I’m here
Keep breathing ‘till you see
The first beam of light.
Oh please
Make it go away
There’s so little
Left in me
Oh please
Please don’t go away
I’ve so little
Left …
(But the words go by
As the hours fly,
Is it just the night?
Am I still alive?)

Take It All Back
04:13
|
|||
|
I have called you down here
Just to ask
What would happen if we took it all back
Where would I be if I didn't insist on loving you?
And you are not the same
You are not the same
Did you forget all the words you said?
Would you take it all back?
If we take it all back
We'll do the same mistakes
Over and over and over again
And you're the one to blame
Why can't we talk anymore?
You say I don't listen
But your empty words just pass me by
How does it feel without me?
I got the best out of you
And saw you running away
And it's me who thought it was love
It's me who didn't care it was wrong
Did you forget all the words you said?
Would you take it all back?
If we take it all back…

From the Highest Place
03:46
|

|
I must be the only one,
I must be the only one
Who’s seen your face.
I must be the only one,
I must be the only one-
I know this place.
Come and take a walk with me,
In the moonlight you will see
It differently.
Come, for you have wished to fly,
You will see there is no lie,
You can be free.
I cannot be the only one,
No, I cannot be the only one
In this space.
Breathe the cold air of the night,
Soon you will see the light
From the highest place.
Come, I can only show the way,
The scar grows deeper every day,
I can't heal the pain.
But I know your great desire,
Come, you'll see I’m not a liar,
Nor insane.
You must be the only one,
Yes, you must be the only one
Trying to understand.
Your soul is hurt by this painful fate,
Come with me, don't be afraid,
It's not the end.
Don't you listen to their words,
They are frightened by your thoughts,
They don't believe.
I'm insane, that's what they say,
No, don't go back, don't turn away!
Oh, please don't leave...
I must be the only one,
Yes, I must be the only one
In this place.

Don't Wait
04:39
|
|||
|
It's late now,
Too late now; give in.
Come rest now
It's crawling on your shoulder
And it's burning in your eyes
And through your skin.
Don't wait for tomorrow,
Don't wait for the morrow…
It's late now
You still hear it breathing
In your sleep.
Come rest now,
Your words are slowly fading
In the deep.
Don't wait for tomorrow,
Don't wait for the morrow…
