No Need To
05:00
|

Don’t mind me, I have to go
Just let me, I need to know
No tears please, I told you so
Don’t mind me, it’s my time now
Try to be my friend, try to be nice
Please, don’t disturb me, I’ve thought of this twice
It’s late now, I have to go
Please listen, it’s my last show

Gifts
03:54
|

Your chance to be / a gift for me
Show me your / show me your place
I’d like to go / where no one goes
I’m coming out / coming out now
Try me, try me
Try to be, try to see, why me
The air is thin / it’s creepy thin
I cannot breathe / cannot see here
A waste of time / my precious time
I’m strolling back / strolling back home

Paradox
05:28
|
|||
In a changing stasis, my own paradox
I sit around unmoving, lost in my own thoughts
Times that we have passed, things are yet unseen
I travel through my shadows, lost, somewhere in between
Now, I should have seen my paradox
Should have seen it come around
You should have known
I view far off places, yet nothing do I gain
I look back upon my life, and I remember pain

Silence
03:34
|
|||
Thoughts from the past,
unsettling sadness
Makes me wake up with fear,
and I gaze around the room
There’s sounds of birds
but it breaks into silence
as dead as a grave
I’m out of control
A tiny streak of silver light,
lays its magic on my pillow
A tiny streak of magic light,
makes me tremble through the night
All I perceive is darkness,
visions which confuse me.
See you through the night,
see you out there alone
All I’ve got is missing,
won’t you stay for the night
Let me show you the passion
made of nothing but my dreams

A Childhood Memory
05:55
|
|||
Once I heard a story, it was a story about me
I remember being hung out, for a reason I could not see
Twice I’ve had that feeling, I felt it was not fair
I remember being lonely, without a version to share
They waited for a chance to see
the fool they all would like me to be
Never someone there, next to me
it seemed to me they all would agree
I guess it was on purpose, but still they couldn’t know
The pain was so intense, no, I wouldn’t let it show

Something New
04:28
|
|||
There was a dream
I’ve kept it days and nights
We’ve shared it, seen it, been there holding tight
Tonight
Something new, don’t you feel alive
It’s like I told you, nothing changed at all
They’re all my treasures
They are out of sight
But keep on searching, you will find them all
Tonight

Evening Star
02:54
|
|||
You’ve pulled the trigger, made me dance
You’ve been a fool
Too late to get a second chance
I’ve kept it cool
I’m sorry but you’re making me
Feel real low
You waste your evenings here
Won’t you leave me alone
Seems like you never even care
of what you did
These doors are closed, the bridge is gone
You’ve burned it down
|
||||
8. |
||||
Today I am down, I’m always down
But I’m not alone
Try to be happy
‘cause I would not dare, I should not dare
It’s awful out there
Try to be happy, all the time
What if I went, left you, ran out,
never came back again, could not return?
Just like you’ve died, she said, you could
never fail, yes I could, it’s not too late...
Oh, why is it me, it’s always me
I try not to be
Try to be happy, all the time

No Control
05:13
|
|||
Inside my head, a thousand thoughts fight for, fight for my attention
They struggle and fight each other to be on top
I can’t fight them, I’m not in control, they’re nothing but my secrets
If I only could I would most certain make them stop
Not in control, I’m left to watch my own descent
Out of control, what’s left when all spent
I can’t figure out
Late at night my favourite thoughts disappear, disappear in the tension
They scream, but get drowned and I get lost again
I can’t stop it, I am pacified, left outside the crowd
If I only could, I would most certain pull them up.
Morning rises, the first desperate thought, defeats my intention
It sneaks up behind my closed eyes and get out

Swept Away
07:47
|
|||
Far away, everyday, strangers are shot, frightened or not, I cry.
Tragedy, insanity, leave holes in the ground, strange as it sounds, I die.
I see blood tonight, in rivers of hate, someones fate
Try to realise, everyones gone, they’re just swept away
The lights go out, they’re swept away
The music stops, they’re swept away
Hope is strong, still it’s gone, tremble from fears, nobody cares, do I?
Close to fantasy, we can not believe, they’re just swept away.
The lights go out, they’re swept away
The music stops, they’re swept away
When someone cries, they’re swept away
Everyday, far away, they’re still swept away
