Can’t find the words to begin With all the things I hate to say There’s no need to believe that This is the time to live in Has to be more bizarre than being Something very unique And even if we decide to die You know this won’t be for real We don’t have much around, just an ordinary rain There everyone looks alright We force ourselves to stay apart I see you started to hit back Don’t leave now, don’t give in With all these things you thought to me Years in a box of memories You can’t believe it, we can deceive the past Here comes the feeling, if there’s a light it’s ours It can’t be real, this God seems too kind I can’t believe him tonight When the world decides to hide Strain your voice out of loud It needs more than we thought, we can go on again Miss the words to seek help, we’d better off tonight Prepare to lose all you have, we can redeem the light I gasped for closing that door To leave all my dreams behind Although I can hear the sound It’s like a buzz in my mind You can’t believe it, we can deceive the past Here comes the feeling, if there’s a light it’s ours It can’t be real, this God seems too kind I can’t believe him tonight

You First 02:12
If I only had the chance, I’d like the both of us To see how it is far from the dark Remember this won’t be forever Everything would feel like a dream We’re part of something that means a lot more Just for who decides to care Welcome back, now you can let your eyes Rest before seeing the light Wish I could find what there’s behind These thoughts we kept so tight Unveil the curtain and walk like only you can do Here’s the sole morning left to be saved Does it feel better now? You don’t need to say anything To relieve this time, it hurts you no more Why don’t you understand that we are the reason The very real explanation in the end? Wish I could be there Where’s the knob that moderates the pain? Where does it start the circle of life?

Let’s face this to avoid another fight Remind me what you’re aiming for I wake up every night to apologise Glad that you know more than I How to say goodbye When there’s no way home I’ve slowly figured out a plan to stay You know you’re right, what they say it’s wrong Dissolve the light and show me what you need I guess there’s something in the air A sign that you can’t deny You dropped the key as soon as You saw where I was hiding There’s no window and no sound Other than nowhere to go I’m trapped in a space where Time resets every time you’re here When there’s no way home I’ve slowly figured out a plan to stay You know you’re right, what they say it’s wrong Dissolve the light and show me what you need A plan to stay Sorry for loving you so much When I look back it was obvious that you didn’t care When there’s no way home I’ve slowly figured out a plan to stay You know you’re right, what they say it’s wrong Dissolve the light and show me Dissolve the light to show me

Brush your teeth with a smile It doesn’t mean much to me You say things that make me insecure About my life, about the fuck you are! My brain hurts I’ve got too many thoughts to break apart A bottle was shattered over the place When you were screaming nonsense With the knuckles not far from my mouth You broke another mirror You’re clearly going out of your mind But this is something that I like Which makes the both of us fucked Splatters of pride merged in a pile of shit The slightly sense of humiliation overwhelms me And I cannot find a way to end this Whatever surrounds me Is what remains from our wreckage Tiny pieces floating nowhere, too light to go down Overly small to be found A perfect picture of my head right now Brush your teeth with a smile, you said it twice today Someone is standing outside these walls We don’t know who it is or what we have done

In My Lie 03:07
Happy? Are you happy now? The first look that I've got from you It's all I have in my mind Shaky? Are you shaking now? Too loud the silence I hear from you It is something that I can't deny And here we go, I'm sorry but I'm here to go 'cause I'm in my lie Happen? has it happened now? My heavenly denial, I couldn't really go that far Is it me? or are you cracking up? On a face fell into disgrace which Still can't be recognised And here we go, I'm sorry but I'm here to go 'cause I'm in my lie Dancing under my skin I was the captain of this vessel There goes my joy on its long way home It'd be good to have you here Happy? Are you happy now? The first look that I've got from you It's always been in my mind Shaky? Are you shaking now? Too loud the silence I hear from you It’s something that I can't deny Here we go, I'm sorry but I'm here to go 'cause I'm in my lie Dancing under my skin I was the captain of this vessel there goes my joy on its long way home It'd be good to have you here And here we go, I'm sorry but I'm here to go 'cause I'm in my lie

Leaves 02:48
After what I thought to stay, it will take me a while Blame me too, it sounds so cool, just the way you are You're coming with another plan So clear you want to have a fight I read between the lines, you read my eyes I feel so alive but it's not about live or die You don't know what scares me, I imagine you Pull me into this creepy game, don't be surprised I think you're right but I can't believe in you I'm driving away and it seems so okey I won't just say goodbye or maybe not There's always something new to do for you Who leads me it's not, it's not your love It's not your skin It's not that you own me, it's not true It's not so plain Hey hey, down the road, hold me tight! Dream at full speed Dream while I'm still in your mind Film our day today I feel so alive but it's not about live or die You don't know what scares me, I imagine you Who leads me it's not, it's not your love It's not your skin It's not that you own me, it's not true It's not so plain

Astray 02:13
Sorry darling if I sneaked away Without putting the kettle on It’s getting colder outside And our little box is struggling with the heat Believe it or not I put the jumper on Even though it makes me itchy Like every Wednesday by the time I’ll be home you’d probably be out Expecting me to follow your simple rules Rubbish out, food shopping, roast some veggies Check the post, stay awake and smile I left a cinnamon bun in the cupboard On the second shelf in between packs of tomatoes After eating one I felt sick, I’m not sure That cardamom agrees with me anymore I bought you a Christmas card But I didn’t quite make it to bus The card got soaked and so did I The paint came off on the left side The rest is still intact, I hope you like it I hope you like it, I hope you do

Space Frame 03:30
I talked you once without saying a word I talked you twice but still with many whys My way is “not believe”, my belief is not a swear Out of my town I feel home But I have to pay my way in pain The wonder is a man who finds a place My wonder is a shame The wonder is a turn into the wind My wonder is grimace I stared that face, that face I've known Right here is even more dark, more than I've thought God bless my wife and my children in the playground For two years I’ve seen that tree And I was there but I couldn't say hi The wonder is a man who finds a place My wonder is a shame The wonder is a turn into the wind My wonder is grimace

Last gaze into the starlight and I’m done One of these nights I’d rather go blind No need to shelve a dream to find a way to react We expect to sense a shiver running down our spine We can’t ever feel sorry again To do it on rebound to feel good Time to share our sad sides to repair these scares Now that our stereo chose to play again No need to tame your mind, just be there off guard ´Cause what to fear after all, it can still be inside But only happens when you’re asleep And you wanna back down Both we know what it takes to change It takes no time On the way we need to walk There’ll be stars in your eyes too The lady has reached her place But the shape looks like a cake The piper has lost the rights to stay and He doesn’t seem to depart not even to try No one else will find this place in their minds Mermaids and knights play chess meanwhile You may try to run but the coin says tails You’re going downstairs, don’t touch or peep doors Lay down, don’t play dumb, don’t aim to have fun Do not be afraid when a rug can fly the sky Do not be afraid when even you can ride a cloud
10.
People are passing by But they’re speaking in signs The emergency room lighting Makes it hard to see through the walls It’s late in the eyes never soon For somebody’s life Fast decisions every time A shadow appears by the door Few hours here and I keep chasing my heartbeat The reflection from the screen The needles on the sleepless machines Fading out of sight when It’s so late in the night Here and I'm still scared
