Melodious Day 


Glowing in the stardust
Jump into the fray
Bursting like a comet
Madly spurred away
Beating on a trumpet
Shy, melodious day
Go ahead and lump it
In the world's dismay


Burning specks of magic
Touch the atmosphere
Swaggering and tragic
Like a breathless fear
Void of wit and logic
Joy of dark and drear
All we can imagine
Slowly disappear...


The Phantom Saint (feat. Because We Can)


See that twist of fate?
Hell...
Tell mother to come back, father
Before it's too late
Hey
Tell mother she left me smother

How
Can you say that - hey!
How
Will you thrash out the settlement?
Hey, can I tell her?
I gotta walk with a phantom Saint, shake me off the taint

Who
Will pull back in dull spark
Who
Will try it, keep quiet
Who
Will crawl back in pure dark
Who's
controlling, keep rolling...

Betrayed by hate
Hell...
Don't bother, you'll find another
Before it's too late
Hey
Don't bother, we've hurt each other..

How
Can you say that - hey!
Wow,
now I'm out of my element...
How do I tell her
I have become like a phantom Saint, I'm growing faint..

Who
Will pull back in dull spark
Who
Will try it, keep quiet
Who
Will crawl back in pure dark
Who's
Controlling, keep rolling...

Got a wound, I'm forever doomed
Got a wound, got a wound, yeah
Got a wound, got a wound to heal
You'll forsake me, too
Got a wound, got a bruise
Don't tell me I'm playing to lose
On the day I loom...
Yeah


To the Moon

I will wear your sins
Say you will come back
Have I been so damn naive
Don't let me blunder
How you've slipped beneath my skin 
Love (a) little harder, don't turn me down
Let me wane 

I still count the days
Dreams getting colder 
Dance it all out to the moon
Riveting wonder 
We will rise till dawn
How can't you see that our kingdom's gone
Devils reign 

This is how the end begins
You want me to turn this light 
Into pain
Count my losses and your wins 
We stand in the drizzling rain, 
Smile and feign 
Feign


I Don't Want Your Romance (Feat. Sugar For The Pill)

Trying hard to stay awake
As I ponder
Clean the dark wards of my brain 
Do you wonder? 
Willing to hide my limp
I could climb a cliff
I got madness in my head 

And I miss you already
I got caught in a trance
I don't want your romance 
And I wish you were steady
But I'm not feeling my heart
I just need to be sad

On my feet, on the road
Still I wander
Strumming on an old guitar
Growing fonder
Of absence, ignorance 
Do I stand a chance? 
Well, we've got the rain... 

And I need you already
Got me with just a glance 
I don't want your romance 
And I wish you were ready
Let the sun sweep beneath
(pause) to breathe... 

I want to hear you in my head
I want to chase that dream I dread
I want my craves to leave their shed
I want to walk and hold your hand
I want so bad to lose my breath
I want to live beyond this death
Your breath, my breath
Last pause is death
Forever


Lost in My Dreams

Sing me my favorite lullaby
I'm lost in my dreams but I wanna dive
Don’t make me wake up in my mind
I still wanna dive, I still wanna dive

Maybe I'm learning to fly

(If) I would have known your name
Before I got left heartbroken - broken 
It wouldn't have been the same
Cause you are what I would have chosen - chosen 

​Maybe I'm learning to fly

I already made that mistake
Oh, if it was fate
Why did you show up too late, show up too late?


I'm Real
​

- Will you come and find me - you're in it?
-I got nothing you need
Got no limit
- Can you follow my lead?
It's what I do
I go far
And I live

Darker than you think
Come drip on me
Like immortal ink
into the sea
All is gone in a wink..
For all I know, you're no.. you're no enemy

- I don't like your tattoo
- I know,
Hiding my scars from you
- Need to go..
- Can I still make you bleed?
- I wouldn't know.. Will you find out for me?

- Tell me what's your dream
- Well, I don't know...
Nothing's like it seems
I want to go..
- Won't you follow me?
I know you know
You know, you know...

Who
Has got what you need
You're
Moving in breakneck speed

- Is it in my genes?
- Well, I don't know
- Pushing to extremes...
Think it's time to go
- Makes you wanna scream...
I know you know
You know, I know you know...

- Tell me what's your dream
- Well, I don't know...
Hooked to those wicked beams
Just let me go..
- Why won't you follow me?
I know you know
You know, you know...

You know me
You feel
I'm singing
A thrill
You know me
I'm real
Do you
Love me still?
You know me
I'm here
I'll always
Be near
You know me
I'm real...


Fire

How long to wait
While the game's on
Let it be won
Silent comes to retain
You'll be fine
You'll be fire
You..

Say
You won't stray
Come revive now
Come rewind


White Rose

Why can't you see?
What will the story be?
Find you anywhere you go
Just give me that death blow

You keep it small
Under control
I'm all at sea
I'm out of true
I'm all at sea
I can't go through
The void within

Little candle burns
Just like a flaming torch
Still, my heart remains
Don't give me up for lost

Well, will it be
Our waterloo?
The bogeyman
Will find you too
- I want a name,
I need to know
- I'm fellow foe

Red streaks of war
Just remember what you're living for
Now your spirits are rolled up,
they're stuck in a tiny ball

A sunny day,
I stand in awe
The moment's passed
I have to go...
There's no regret
Nothing to shame
Burnt my own way

Last human sounds
Of pain and woe
Such a fine day
And I have to go
Let's make a start
Over my heart,
there's a flame that glows

White rose...
​

Among Wolves

I'm keeping what you need
With eyes and sharp teeth
It's night what you needed
It's night what I need

I don't wanna hide but they bite me
From the white to black, you should watch your back
I'm running from my wolves when they're hungry
I'm running from my wolves till they don't call

I don't wanna hide but they bite me
From the white to black, you should watch your back

It's night what you needed
With eyes and sharp teeth
It's night what you needed 
It's night what I need

I don't wanna hide but they bite me
From the white to black, you should watch your back
I'm running from my wolves when they're hungry
I'm running from my wolves till they don't call

From the white to black, you should watch your back
From the white to black, you should watch your back


Sick

Ain't gonna tell you.. 
You're like a spot on me
I'm only kinda wally - 
know what I mean? 

Don't wanna call you
To get you mad at me 
I should be "very sorry!!" 
Same old routine... 

You wanna taste, you wanna feel
I want you, now my wits are keen
tell nobody! 
You wanna live, you wanna thrill
You know, we stand
on the edge of fantasy 

You gotta mean it;
"it's all on me!" 
We gotta mean it;
"We're sand and sea" 
Just linger in it, 
The silent breeze
Cause in a minute
We'll be sick of this

We gotta mean it
Let's cut a deal
Ain't even seen it
None of this was real

You wanna try, I wanna turn
-into darkness- 
You wanna cry, I wanna yearn
are you heartless?
You wanna live, I wanna burn
You know, we stand
On the edge of sanity 

What's wrong?
Are you sad?
You make me sick
I'm feelin so sick of this
I think you should stop

Upside Down

I’m blowing you a kiss
But ain’t getting back 
I thought that I miss
Too light I had attacked, baby 
Knowing that you touch
A little bit stressed, honey
Making me some mess
But I can’t live without it, 
You turn my life upside down 
And I found that I lost my mind
Lost my mind
You turn my life upside down
Your choice to leave me did hurt
I don’t hope, cry, change

You turn my life 
upside down
You turn my life 
upside down 


Nothing Like Them 

Gossip and romance
People condemn what I’m doing
Don’t mind it, heard that it’s envy
Doesn’t even cost a penny
Gossip and romance 
People condemn what I’m doing
So sick of toxic relations
You probably can’t change situations
Sometimes I just wanna feel 
Sometimes I just wanna need
All your thoughts when you tell me that we ain’t like them
that we ain’t like them 
Dedicate distance, cover your ears
Him I must try to listen 
That in it you felt like empty existence
They’re wasting no time
But we have a mission
To not be like them 
To not be like them 
We have a mission to not be like them
Nothing like them​


Nea Kypseli (Sad Girls)


Please don’t be such a heart-breaker
She belongs to you - and do you want the truth?
Please don’t be a poison-maker
‘Cause she loves you back and don’t wanna be sad 

‘Cause nobody needs sad girls, sad girls, 
they’re falling for the bad ones, bad ones
Nobody needs sad girls, sad girls, 
they’re falling for the bad ones, bad ones

​
Women on Waves


Sinner
Turning white like a saint
Leave them,
You're gonna do well
Dark secrets
are smiling away
I feel mothering too, my way

Calling sirens
Women on Waves
Feel the silence
Women on Waves
Desert islands
Women on Waves
I hear my heartbeat swarming from dusty caves

I've been running down
You should - should find me
I need to break through
All the walls that bind me

Sleeping lions
Women on Waves
Bleak horizons
Women on Waves

Kiss her
We'll dance on glimmering waves
Whisper
You're like the ocean that raves
Round me..
Women on Waves

I'm still feeling
Women on Waves
Can you reel it in
Women on Waves
I'm still feeling
Sailing away

Can you feel it?
Women on Waves
How will you find your ways?
​


Deceivers (feat. Astyplaz)

You're saying you wanna color me nice
You're down, you're in the dark
Keep counting beat
And now, my dying ember,
you'll color me black
And wake your throes
Like you can escape..

And how, those two fevers,
they're blurring my mind
You're reaching for me
Grab me, feed the night
Oh no
In chains..
Oh you pull me
Full underwater
Come over
Want you, bad...

You (feat. Georgia Hurd)

Ties are torn
Tonight
I know you've been high and low
You tell me not to ride on..
You're riding for me
A weeping spell
You call your prey
Don't wanna dwell (just)
Keep in mind I'll save you
Let me down, all the way
Breaking in two
My heart serenading (you)

I know you do
You pull me down...
You made me fall to knock me down
I know you do
You pull me down
You do
Perfectly flayed, I know what you're made of

Crown of thorns
Your eyes
I feel your electric glow
You tell me not to thrive in
Thriving with me
Your crystal shell
"Above the fray"
You played me well (but)
Keep in mind I'll save you
Shut me down, walked away
Breaking in two
My heart serenading (you)

I know you do
You pull me down...
You made me fall to knock me down
I know you do
You pull me down
You do
Perfectly flayed, I know what you're made of

I know what you're made of
I know what you're made of
You
You

 Neon Glare

How will the air reach the sea
Halos over all the heads in weeds
Find your path inside autonomy
Gotta multiply the fear in underwater neon glare
Choral ties
When the birds fly in reverse
Wings in tinted waves hold down all the silent woes,
the lies will wake
You'll never find the path within autonomy
Multiply the fear inside neon glare
​glare, glare.


I See In Your Mind

How did you realize
on the train
how to fight an owl
Do you ever cry
lead our side
maybe start the raid tonight
You know the deal
to raise the bar
at the second mile
Come to us
ride your fears
hide your dears

​And now you know
flip the dime
we aren't at all civilized, civilized
I see in your mind
now you're dazed
drawing out the day now, day now
You know the deal
to raise the bar
at the second mile
I'll hold you my love
roll the steel
to the reel
You know the deal
to raise the bar
at the second mile
Come to us
ride your fears

hide your dears

Hold Up

oh why wait, yeah
when I gotta dream to assign wings
oh why wait, yeah
even in a hold up

Won't stop playin'
when this life is meant for having fun
won't stop playin'
even in a hold up

You're my main man
but you won't be cocking your gun
I can do this
even in a hold up

It's overrated
to bottle up all this fake fear
just let it go, man
and write song
hold up

Defy Me

As I swim through wet terrain
can you defy me?
I was sent to steal the steam
we all encounter
in my mind I feel the sea
ripple in my skin
I'll return to give you heat
but I only live in rain

I only live in rain
defy me, defy me

I'll return the magic field
hide your power now
don't return to grab your shield
or preserve it
torn between our hell, you swallow
all your memory
in the meadow you'll see why
I only live in rain

I only live in rain
defy me, defy me

Can you
define me?
you have not the time to defy me
Does thunder
pursue you?
You'll travel a long way to find the rain

Oh I know you'll find the rain
Come find me in rain


Mirror

The world wasn't invited
into my mind
the lurking is fire
not a desire to be my friend

I am not your mirror
or reflection

Will they pull the curtain
over my mind
before the destruction
of the body that holds it in

I am not your mirror
I won't shatter me
but all the love is rotting
in my reflection

A dream could build a ladder
out of my mind
and still I'd be haunted
by the strangers hugging me

I am not your mirror
I won't shatter me
but all the love is rotting
in my reflection



​You've Got A Kitty On A Timer

Hide your debris
in the powder
you've got a kitty
on a timer
you cannot fool me
with phoney kindness
whenever I feel
grey and lifeless

you'll walk on water when I, say entertain me
you'll fashion silver and gold, until you fail me
you'll fall in love with a ghost, I will not hide her
you'll beg me for the belief, that death is safer

The end is lighter
when you're higher
take me home now
you idle spider
you've got a kitty
on a timer
you're not witty
your fun is lifeless

You've got a kitty on a timer
You've got a kitty on a timer
You've got a kitty on a timer....


Horizon's Glow

A hundred miles away
I'm taking it day by day
Intensions are high with hope
I will not be your prey

To want to
To make do
To lay there
a small dare
I fooled you
to find me
You'll lay there
in my dare

Nothing's left here
caught up time and time again
Nothing's left here
the horizon's glowing

Under the stars I gaze
decifering the maze
I'd live in outerspace
Imagine your heart race

To want to
To make do
To lay there
a small dare
I fooled you
to find me
You'll lay there
in my dare

Nothing's left here
even walking in the rain
Nothing's left here
Oh to feel emotion stain

Nothing's left here
caught up in time and wound in the maze
Nothing's left here
the horizon's glow is running through my veins


Steady To Go

You'll never know
the hope that shows
thread them in
steady to go

Rise the sail
die randomly
ride the wind
you'll take the fall, take the fall

Cry for love
for many more
try to be
one who has it all, who has it all

Don't fear the night (ride the wind)
don't drown at sea (just feel it)
don't fight the flow
be incredible, incredible

Touch the dead
feel before
your head decides
the meet the floor, of shadow's core

Feed the soul
untie the rope
leave this life
be exceptional, exceptional


I Won't Cry

Close your eyes and see me in your woe
I'm the one-man band with beats real low
Take the melody and soar real high with soul in shadow

Underneath the ground I weave the pride
that stitches up the wounds I dare to hide
it's only in the night that I can heal the soul in shadow

I climb and climb
through day and night, oh yeah
I want to thrive
but I can't find my mind

I'd reach the sky, hmm hmm
and understand all the highs
Could I change?
I'd change the way I fly

As I plant the seed to destiny
I take a hold of fate and set it free
There's nothing like a day without this weight, you're not on my mind

There's a road less lived, so I won't cry
It's dark and empty now, but I will try
To see the birds and trees before they sing and sway in spite


Highs And Lows

In the shadow on the wall
I die in water
a river fountain
and without power
I already count me dead
I know I'm foolish inside my head

Tell me to go
I can't let go
of highs and lows
Tell me to go
behind the wall
to hide alone

Living in the dark
in a haunted tower
and a tinted window
Can you promise to pull me through the tide
leave me on the water
and hypnotized

Tell me to go
I've gotta fight
the highs and lows
Tell me to go
beyond a dream
and hide alone


Tonight

tonight, tonight
tonight, tonight

let it go - now
here we are - now
trick me in - now
give me more - don't
cut me loose - now

can you let it go,
can you make it up, make up
your mind
silence seems to flow,
can you let it go, leave all
behind




Human Stars
 
Love
holding each other
Take
heat from the other, and grow
Carry me
discover in colour
Trust in me
your river, your lover
Hey
we will recover, I know

Holding each other
Taking
heat from the other

Flying
as light as a feather
human stars for miles
leading us higher
no dying here

Loving each other
you know, by now
ready, gonna recover
yeah we know
there's fight
discover in colour
I know, yeah we know
Leave
our river, our lover
together


Frantic

Couldn't help it
'Cause I meant I
wasn't ready before

When I told you
didn't want you
round me anymore

All the crying
and the trying
what is it all for?

This is frantic
not romantic
we were fine before

You do not fit with me
no matter how you're feeling
and I don't fit with you
I don't know what you're seeing
Your fierce list of lies
there is no chance of healing
Please stay away from me
your actions are demeaning

Don't you call me
or use your key
I won't answer the door

I will find a
way to stop you
starting another war

This is frantic
not romantic
we're not fine any more

Said I told you
didn't want you
round me anymore

You lost your mind and me
you gotta stop this stalking
I have no mind for you
This thing is way past talking
Your fist won't hit my face
There is no way I'm falling
Into the grave you dig
your actions are assaulting


Late Summer

Fading memories
Your delusive kiss
Living in the past
Days go by so fast

Driving through the night
Late summer light
Felt like this before
Losing all control



Fight

The crowds are coming
hundreds of bodies
with their heads held high not down

The crowds are running
toward their dreaming
and their hoping for a gold playground

The rules are bending
'cause we're sending
all we're feeling
towards power
in numbers, oh yeah
we will win, right now

Fight for everything in your heart
Fight for family, fight for art
Don't let anyone in your way
Fight for your right to stay

Fight for everything in your heart
Fight for family, fight for art
Fight the grey, every day, 'cause
we're here to play
in numbers, oh yeah
we will win

Sunny Day

I saw you running
through my home town
all without a care
proudly wearing your invisible crown
we can't get in your way
a lust for life you'll have until your dying day

Instead of falling down
you fly around
not a stone in your heart
every smile is like a bright bouquet
the good will outweigh
there's no negative feeling
'cause every smile is like a sunny day

a sunny day

and there's no walking away
from a sunny day
with you in my life
I can wash the bad away

And when you're laughing
with that tender sound
I can't help but feeling
proud to know the girl who breaks highground
we can't get in your way
a lust for life you'll have until your dying day

Giving

We're helping each other
be kind to those in need
Don't live undercover
to set the people free

A mother and father
to help dissolve the fear
Loving each other
the children need to feel us near

Hold onto giving
show that good is here
Mistakes are forgiven
your heart is full of cheer

We're helping each other
be kind to those in need
Loving each other
the children need to feel us near

California Tears

California tears
tell me stories
of the sad years
you endure

You ain't gonna live
avoiding
the water
you won't go
to waste
you won't
erase
the California tears, tears, tears,
California tears

Horizons
above our heads
we aren't liars
we aren't liars

to wonderful
mournful days
to wonder, and fall
to wander, and fall

Embrace
California tears
they're gifts from
the ocean, oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh)

Your face
tells me stories
of the sad years
you endured

Hold the centre
of earth
and cry its ocean
to California

To taste
your calling
to feel
your falling
it's all inside me
your sadness rising


I Don't Need You (feat. Ocean Hope)

Now I am running high 
I wonder why
I’m ready to move
I could start a fire
And I’m getting through
over you (or lonesome too)
I gotta a reason to care for.

Give gotta give, gotta hold you down
Say gotta say, gotta hold you down
Give gotta give, gotta hold you down
Say gotta say, gotta hold you down
You’ve got something for me, for me, for me.

And I wonder why
I watch the sky
I couldn’t decide if I’m going home
I wonder why
I’ve got a star
what is it for, baby tell me
a killing thought 
You’ve got something for me

Give gotta give, gotta hold you down
Say gotta say, gotta hold you down
Give gotta give, gotta hold you down
Say gotta say, gotta hold you down
You’ve got something for me, for me, for me.



Bendable

I've been hearing sounds
that I find
incredible
If I'd realized
the world was so
bendable
I'd be on the way
and without a doubt
regrettable
I'd feel alive
and I'd be less
cynical

You won't feel blue
Push through
​
So you offered a ride
and it wasn't too
forgettable
I wanted to cry
coz world is so
bendable
Said I wouldn't try
to be too three
dimentional
I wanna be alive
in this world

Coz you won't feel blue
It's time to be true
To all things old and new
Oh Oh
Miracles are choices too


Glistening

Sky to water
I’m no longer small
Over the sea
Come see me

Across the border
The world is mine
Over water
Come and find me
The waves are talking to me
The sea is glistening for me
The water listens to me
The waves whisper me free

Hope is given
To all the souls
In the water 
Come feel it
Reach for the leader
Of the spirit dolls
In the water
Come and see them

The waves are talking to me
The sea is glistening for me
The water listens to me
The waves whisper me free ...


Livin'

When you see the
way the boys treat her in the locker room
you wanna punch their livin' day light down
but you hold back again
and you regret again
coz love is not a thing, that comes so easily

You hide behind the door as the boys leave
and watch her crying down on her knees
you think of sneaking out
but that is copping out
breathe out, breath in, this should come easily

Has she heard me? Has she seen me? Come in?

When she turns her
head around and sees me staring at her tattered hair
she wipes her tears away and shoots me a worried glare
"What are you doing here?
I thought you were a queer.
This ain't a place to be, hanging round with me."

"If they come back I'll knock them down.
Or they can chase me way back home.
Coz I ain't gonna watch
them try to bully you
no way, no way, I'm gonna protect you."

So you take her
by the hand and lead her to the corridor
you're gonna find the boys and even the score
someone has gotta stop
the bloody beating up
And if it's not you, then who's it gonna be?

You gotta take control and nurture your own
You have friends, no you're not alone
respect the life you lead
for love you only bleed
livin', livin', is your priority

Livin', no you're not alone
Livin', to fight for your home
Livin', to holding your own
Livin'

Livin', you are in control
Livin', to nurture your soul
Livin', you are who you are
Livin'

Livin', no you're not alone
Livin', to fight for your home
Livin', to holding your own
Livin'

Celebrity


I couldn't dream of fame now, I've seen
All the blue that it throws, down on me

There is more to life than being, a clone
You can fill your heart and soul, on your own

Chorus (+harmony):
I gotta wonder
what is under
all the need for
being younger
You're still not free
from the "me-me"
living like a celebrity

All the plastic faces seem, so mean
And all the judgements crush our dreams, and make routine

There is more to life than being, a clone
You can fill your heart and soul, on your own

Don't Need 'Em


Don't need 'em
gun breedin'
Don't need 'em
gun breedin'
don't kill your child

Forbid 'em
we don't need 'em
don't let 'em
see bleedin'
please save your child

8th Grade student in Brazil
the thought gives me a chill
4 kids injured, 2 shot dead
with a handgun to their head

Parkland, Florida, Feb 14
kid shooter, just a teen
Injuries and 17 fatalities
Never Again MSD


Vegas, Orlando, Columbine
15 more than 109
Camden, Atlanta, Virginia Tech
San Bernardino and Quebec

Rifles, pistols, a shotgun
A semi-automatic might kill your son
one bang, two band, three bang, four
list goes on, how many more?

It started in 1764
At Enoch Brown school in the Pontiac's War
kids beaten and scalped, Schoolmaster shot
200 years and it still hasn't stopped

Kenya, Thailand, Pakistan
Russia, China, Azerbaijan
Finland, Germany, United States
just ban firearms, and screw debates

Gunman opened fire
College in Oregon, gone haywire
killed eight students, a teacher too
nine others hurt, blew own head through

Rifles, pistols, a shotgun
A semi-automatic might kill your son
one bang, two band, three bang, four
list goes on, how many more?

Firearms
Ban them all
Why live in fear?
Don't neem 'em, no


Denial

It never felt real to wait
or watch all my choices fade away
and I need to know
are you taking off, again?
or feeding my sorrows in your head?

Do you think it's time to play?
and watch all the rainbows turn to grey?
'cause I need to know
are you turning off again?
or letting me throw my life away?

Denial
This is denial
denial, I know
all our flesh and bone
is denial, we know

We've tried to take the test
It's time to put this thing to rest
'cause we need to know
are we gonna scream again?
or let fear crumble our stairs?

Denial
This is denial
denial, I know
all our flesh and bone
is denial, we know

We don't need to toe the line
'cause the world is running
it's what it means to be alive
to be the thunder

You don't need all the lies
or the crowd to wonder
how to swim through your mind
and be the thunder

I don't need to waste away
or the crowd to wander
I don't need them in my way
to be the thunder

What I need is a lighter grey
and the world to wonder
what it is that makes me stay
and be the thunder

the thunder, the thunder, the thunder, don't walk away
or wonder, or wonder, or wonder, what it's like to stay
don't wander, don't wander, don't wander, don't get in my way
I'm thunder, I'm thunder, I'm thunder


Tokyo Lane

Behind the wall
Outside my home
In Tokyo, oh
By the dance hall
The ghosts will call
the creatures of lore
In Tokyo, oh
To feed us all more

Go running
Beside the non-living
They’re calling
When birds go soaring
I will
Hold onto the dream
Hold on to being

‘Cause I know
To mould and grow, oh
In Tokyo
Feed me more, feed me more
Pull from your core
Discover all
‘cause Tokyo, oh
Is the city of more

When birds go soaring, oh
Turn around and break your cover
It’s Tokyo
Call the ghosts of Tokyo
Tokyo, oh
By the dance hall, oh oh

The ghosts will call
creatures of lore
In Tokyo, oh
To feed us more, feed us more



Eternal

In the tune of summer
there is no end
to songs you sing her
or dreams you send
’Cause you believe
the spirit lives on
when we leave

There’ll always be a part of her in you
it comes alive when you live true
’cause we’re eternal
we’re eternal
we’re eternal
we’re eternal
we’re eternal

Out at sea
You wait under the black glass shore
and hand her the key
to a forever summer
and reverie
you won’t be lost in sadness any more
you’ll be set free

There’ll always be a part of her in you
You’ll know when you live true
A part of her in you
You’ll feel it when you live true
’cause we’re eternal
we’re eternal
we’re eternal
we’re eternal
we’re eternal

There’s a part of her in you (we’re eternal)

On The Road
 
Out on the road
where the eagles sing with the tide
 When I'm driving through my mind
I forget
all the lonely sounds
of the sun
 
I can't circle the world
I must glide through the air
in shadow time


Leave In Silence 
 
Don’t make a sound don’t even worry
Your heart and mind will forget all the hurting 
Don’t look so down your bad luck is turning
I’ll sell out now and leave in silence 

Forget me now don’t even be sorry
It’s meant to be this way so we stop burning 
Don’t ask me how long I’ll be mourning
I’ve made up my mind,  despite all the yearning


Marionette  

Is it time, for my feed? 
half a leg, bound by a lead 
dirt in my hair, cuts in skin 
in the cell you’ve trapped me in  
This is no way to keep me eating concrete, 
lips bleeding skylight glowing, 
spotlight glare bruised all over, played your dare  
Chained to fire, burn my heart I am not your Joan of Arc 
Chained to fire, witches sin throw my ashes in the bin 
Che-che-check your mind, you can’t hide dripping poison in my wine 
Marionette, lead the way use your strings to make me play  
You move, I move one leg or arm, you choose One step, over Are we a him or her? 
Voodoo, you move, voodoo, I move, you move,  my arms, around, my arms ... 
Marionette 
Marionette 
Marionette 
Marionette 
Marionette 
Marionette  
Rolling round with flaming hair one-eyed 
Chucky likes to stare 
With eight toes and eight fingers 
smell of burning flesh lingers  
This is no way to keep me 
stitching wounds and hard breathing 
blackened walls and smoky grins 
broken bones and lanky limbs  
Chained to fire, burn my heart I am not your Joan of Arc 
Chained to fire, witches sin throw my ashes in the bin 
Che-che-check your mind, you can’t hide dripping poison in my wine 
Marionnette, lead the way use your strings to make me play  
You move, I move one leg or arm, you choose 
One step, over Are we a him or her? 
Voodoo, you move, voodoo, I move, you move, my arms, around, my arms ...

Hello, 
darling 
you lead, the way 
use strings, to make me play, highway

Game Over (Daniel's Scene)  

Heard a woman 
in my mind  
‘(you’ll) lose your keel,’ yeeeeeah 
‘withered spirits 
cannot fly 
above the wind’ 

Tell them ‘worry 
bout the words 
that won't heal,’ yeeeeeah 
Hold the greater, 
your only, lie 
More than I  

I’m a moron 
I’m alone in this strife, yeeeeeah 
Holey creatures 
we come to life 
Come to life  

Un-tell my heart (x8) 
Under my heart (x4) 
Can you wreck me? 
Holding steady now  
Turn me red from my heart 
Game over 
Time is ready now 
Turn me red from my 
Time is ready now 
Turn me into stone


​Seattle

Stars around
Colored sins of misty haze
they hooked me down-dazzling chains
Take me home
Take me to your secret place
No, we won't let time erase

And I see through your sunken eyes
shooting like a fiery dart
Still I miss those bitter lies
and I can't let you depart

Hold me close
Dance in purple-shedding streams
Reach across the moonlight beams
Hold me tight
Now you're running down my dreams
We're bursting out at the seams
​
And we stare at the city lights
Shine upon the seven hills
And we love those gleaming nights
in a maze of music thrills
Don't let yourself go, don't cease to glow
Hold me tight
As we reach the edge of floe
you and I, we're beating right

Philokalia  

Love, of the beautiful 
will rise, once again  
Lie, beside the beautiful 
for the good, in us all  
​
Sigh, into your simple thoughts 
heal, all your wrongs  
Here, is the spirit of pure kindness  
Cry, for the beautiful 
and the good in us all


 We Want More  

Our waves of fear 
are gonna drown the moments we earned 
before they lied Are we for real? 
When we beat our souls on the walls 
of the earth?  
Let's mute the rain 
till we find the sounds we can feed 
to lonely words 
Don't lose the pain 
'cause it's the only thing we can use 
to really see ...  
Where our hearts are crying, 
and bleeding out, in the hope we fall away  
We want more, we won't fall 
We want more, we won't fall  
The road is long 
and the shards of time floating by  
won't be caught 
My shoes are gone 
Stones and glass are piercing my skin  
just to show ...  
Why our hearts are crying, 
and bleeding out, in the hope we fall away  
We want more, we won't fall 
We want more (retaliate) 
We won't fall (regenerate) 


Dark Light

Beguiled..
Got me in the veil
Two wild
pretty eyes in grey
Would I
let you come my way, 
my way..

Cause when you sing my heart is weathered
Cause when you sing my heart is weathered
Cause when you sing my heart is weathered
Like the ropes that keep you tethered

I'm dripping poison from the moon,
we're sinking in a swoon
Two shadows in a naked room,
we hide and loom

healing me, protecting me
as I cling to normalcy
beating in a harmony
scarred by your perversity
killing me, infecting me
crumbling in diversity
heal me...
Running about
on a dreamline
down with the shine
I'm dying to see you come, you come around
Breathing aloud
are we lonely?
well, if only
if only we were bound on silver clouds

healing me, protecting me
as I cling to normalcy
beating in a harmony
scarred by your perversity
killing me, infecting me
crumbling in diversity
heal me...
Twining a streak
from the dark light
breaking the night
that's how your voice is sleek, your flesh is weak
Running around
are we lonely?
well, if only
if only we were found on a silver cloud


 Believe  

So many times you’ve walked away 
from all the words that sound the same as ‘I love you.’  
I never notice when you hide  
or all the times you beg and cry and fail me  
You might yell and scream at me 
But there is nothing I can see but ardour  
Suffocate your rebel flame 
‘Cause when you push, I will pull on the reigns  

Believe, you’re the one.  

Every word you utter now 
I will twist it into gold to save you  
’Cause my soul is in your veins  
When you push, I know to pull the reigns   

Believe, you’re the one.  
Believe ... Believe, you’re the one.  

‘Cause my soul is in your veins) 
(No walkin’, no walkin’ away) 
(Suffocate the flames) 
(No walkin’, no walkin’ away) 

Blue Rooms

Oh my love, allow me... 
take what you have left 
ravel it out 
"are we darkling alone?" 
you know it's been this way too long 
thought we weren't 
growing strong 

are we locked in blue rooms, 
like we're meant to sail? 
end the tale... 
are you ready? you're on... 
I know my lines, I'll play along 
if you hate me 
I'll be wrong, 
so don't... 

are you ready? 
are we locked in blue rooms? 
oh my love, allow me...

Fractals

fading distant memory
times that we borrow,
to wallow
inside...
to come back in glow
to come back in sorrow
tomorrow...

lay down
we're silent
frozen fractals,
now we're shading our way...

my threads are worn
my words are broken
broken
spirits reborn
feelings awoken
unspoken

lay down
we're silent
frozen fractals,
now we're fading away...
lay down
we're silent
frozen fractals,

now we're voices still shiverin'...
Fractals
Fractals
   Fractals...

Silent Rain

down the dark of life
colours growing rife
and everything relates
mysteries and fates

raining over
raining over me

still within the light
self-deluding sight
don't you mind the pain
now we've learned to feign

raining over
raining over me 

Now I'm Ready (featuring Ocean Hope)

No...
Did you notice she's gone
with a dream to dream upon
She knew it all along
n she wouldn't belong

Yeah..
It's a brand new goodbye
but I'll draw us a smile
Real eyes' zest for life,
shine on me

You're my savior
Whisper to my soul

Now I'm ready...
 
Line 4 (Orange)

lame dissenter,
years before,
we found each other
growing sore..

"redhead!", I try to shout, "don't you leave!"
redhead, I wanna dare you to breathe
but I'm too far behind
already sitting on fire..

we're scattered over
traced in every moment
what is yours and what's mine
at the end of this line

Benighted 

 Lost in the boundless sea
my peace will come to me
(I'll) follow the beams of night
and I'm never getting lost again, I saw your face, it's flaming
bright
benighted

"talk, talk,
let it, let it
all go,
liberate your 
foe, foe",
I can feel no
woe, woe
I can't feel a thing...

Did it matter? 
It should have mattered...

Your eyes, they're all aglow
I guess I should forego...
Maybe you'll set me free
but I'll never leave, you know the tide of time is flowing back
with me
with me, yeah

"Talk, talk,
work it, work it
all out,
beat your brains 
about, ('bout)",
Can you live
without (out)?
I can't leave you

Did it matter? 
It should have mattered... 

Hollow Man 

Hollow man, you..
You're rising over me
Once a lost soul
Now the killer bee

You're my shadow
My internal rhyme
Breathing fire
Set the scene for crime


Smile a welcome, 
Smile upon your fate
Can't you see me
Rising to the bait?

Nobody

Till we fall out again
we'll stay undercover
all the way..
Tonight
I will meet you again
I'm a dead man walking
down your lane..

Now we can be honest
Why did you start it?
I'm nobody
rotting inside your head

I will gather up my faith,
dark beneath 'n bright above
Dimming in a trembling ray
none of us is formed to love
Like a stranger, shoved away
worrying that you might be right
when you say I have been played,
lying 
like a siren fighting,
now I'm addicted
over 'n over
singing inside my head..
I have no face
I have no shame
Hide, kill and roll,
pervading soul
I read your heart,
I won't impart,
Don't be afraid..

Thousand little shafts of flame
hanging on a hope alone
Got to give myself a name
Cause everything
Cause everything is breaking down
What did you hope for?
I'm nobody
rotting inside my head

Save me tonight
my little pride
Well, if you do,
I'll save you, too
I have no face
no other fear
I'll disappear..
I have no face
I have no shame
Hide, kill and roll,
pervading soul
I read your heart,
I won't impart
Don't be afraid..

Hunter

Out, on my own
On the way I've been shown
With a spell cast upon
Always keeps me in thrall
Go, lose it all
Ain't so bad being alone
You forgave, I forgot
Now we're trapped in a thought

I can't recall..
I don't get it anymore
I feel, look, so small
Where's the thrill of the fall?
Moved down your wall
Like a shadow needs to crawl
Am I mad? Wonder not
There's a twist in the plot

Hide, run into my arms
In the shade of hunter,
she' ll come alive
Can you fight it?

Run, hide into your lies
This war is over
I need to find
Another hunter

trapped in
I've been hunted
trapped in
I've been haunted

Time Exists Only To Betray Us

Time is spent
to forget forget-forget-forget

time is spent
to regret regret-regret-regret

time is here
more than late late-late-late

you came now

to betray how safe-how safe-how safe!

Oostende

Sunlight falling down above us

We belong to all that we asked for

You do talk about the signs with passion

Your soul I discovered at this shore


Stick with me forget the sorrow

And maybe tomorrow we'll shorten the distance

Get on the train to embrace this chance


Your soft hands covering my ears

City sounds growing my fears


Stick with me erase the sorrow

And maybe tomorrow we'll embrace this chance

Get on the train to shorten the distance, the distance

We'll shorten the distance

Distance, the distance

Distance

Recollection

Crossing the skyway
All shown
Miles away
From home

True recollection of what we were
Light reflection to fade

The road now surrounds me

True recollection of what we were
Light reflection to fade
So sweet complexion, you bade:
"Show me affection"

Ahh it's too late- oh!

The road now surrounds me

Flyway

I- I am closing up
you-you fall apart
now we've got to run

Hope burns like a match
we've got to find a way to catch
God-they run so fast
God! God!

I know I've got
something to fight for
I know I've got
some things to sort
and somehow I feel
oh so alone and

I am the last of the flock

Higher  

Up feeling
How can i get over that again?

When I left I thought I
Was easy to get through another end

What it makes me feel alive-
it makes me tremble and whine

Higher I can-higher i can

Maybe
I am ready
To find a way to make a new start here

Tomorrow or tonight
I'll reach the higher, I'll bang the door to "may"

What it makes me feel alive-
it makes me tremble and whine

Higher I can-higher i can

Madmen Love

What color is love?

I'll say why I ask for
Rustle air words
Comfort my depth vaults

Madmen love
Till they fall

Let's dim the lights,
I need to see your eyes, yeah

Beautiful eyes
Smiles under conscious minds
Craving for fond
Kissing in nightfall

Till they fall
Madmen love

Turn off the lights,
Sweet blossoms bloom at times, yeah

Color explosion into your hands
Silently moving over new lands
Amethyst hovers under your lips
Sky blue veils lead us in trips

Their real love
It can’t be wrong
Soft voices roll
Through magic flow

Madmen love

Stay Away 

Roaming a smile
Walking on your lie
I'm wondering
I'm wondering
Writing off you now
Dropping off your crown
I'm holding
Keep falling

Stay away
Away
Away

Acting skills have won
Game is on,
Though, love is gone

Sweet and dear face
A mirror embrace
You're trapped in my cage
Trapped in my cage

Stay away
Away
Away

I'm holding
Keep falling

Room 14 (I'm fine)

Here I am in hotel room 14

I'm calling you to ask you how you feel

My rocking chair is going back and forth

tomorrow we will travel to the north

And you know I'm fine

well I'm not alright

I miss my home

I miss you all

And you think it's fine

But it's not alright

I lost myself

I kept my breath

Till the time I thought

I untied the knot

I felt I'm free

breeze of the sea

But it was that late

ain't no stars to rate

yeah, show was tight

have a good night

Still I am in hotel room 14

I cannot sleep I wonder "what's my deal"

Do I get What I really worth?

I'm done from here, that's my pay off

DIY

Ye that think that all is well
Throwing fires here and there
All get in the same path
'cause salvation will not come

You forestall last train
Vain flares are the constraint
Please get real somehow
'cause salvation will not come

Oh you, miraculously get tidied up Take off and do what's right, now

You may dream of glory
Shabbiness is your story
You may don't know otherwise
Well, at least you should try

You see, the chains are breaking
Even life is counterfeiting
You should think it over
'cause salvation will not come

Oh you, miraculously get tidied up Take off and do what's right, now
Nah, it can't be worse
Nah, you must be false
Nah, pathetic me
Nah

Knife

Night
You chastise
"Astonished
With your eyes"
How little do we live our life?
Why to the bone is the knife?

Why to the bone is the knife?

Sails

Shyly,
Sails open in my heart
To take me
To take me farther from
Far from what I loved

Rain keeps falling on you
No one does have to suffer
Sail,my worries, in gloom

Shyly,
Traces not left in your heart
To burn those
It took me
It took me, love
Took me precious time

Rain keeps falling on you
No one does have to suffer
Sail,my worries, in gloom

The sails thereafter
The sails thereafter
Were ruined by me

Say you'll look after
I'm devastated

Sails thereafter were ruined by me

Hover

Hover!
Hover around
Faces-
Faces and sounds
Together, to burn out now
To burn out now!
Falling-
Falling in and out
Hover!
Hover around!
Together, to burn out now

We'll burn out now

Back to Kresnas Street

Hey little boy hurry up
hurry up its your day today
your eye is reflecting tomorrow
and you-you are going to shine
there is nothing to feel sorry tonight, son

it is all a matter of time

Addictions (Japanese bonus track)

Walking across the line
Wandering into This
Addictions are to fight
How dark is abyss

Dreams are to intertwine
With what the pure bliss it is
Addictions are to fight
A tendency to remiss

My youth cries out "Inspect me!"
Beaten, broken and bruised-OH NO!
As the dawn's cracking up, near the sea
I end up all abused- ooh NO!

They whisper "Her Ripper"
All whisper "The Ripper"

Running Out Of You

Turning off
Turning back
I got codes I don’t you to crack

Turn away
Turn me down
Just a scum, still I wear the king’s crown

Closed my eyes, bend is tight,
But this face is not used to the light
Looking round, like a stray,
Then I woke ‘n it was already day

Tell me, what d’ ya have to say
Tell me we’re not gonna fray
I’ m running out of you
I’ m running back to you
Again

Going off
Going bad
Happy thoughts have been driving me mad

Shut the door and let me stay
Shut the nightmares away
I’ m running out of you
I’ m running back to you
Again

Hauntin’ Me

Nightmare you woke me up
A rainy Sunday there's no one around
Juliet is cryin' now
she's dyin' she says, but nobody cares

Sunday please rain on me
Clear the air of that vaporous she
She's hauntin' me, she's cryin' a sea
Juliet you are chasin' my dream

Nightmare-you woke me up
Romeo come take her hand

Nightmare-she's hauntin' me
Juliet-she's cryin' a sea

Song To Cheer You Up

when your toys seem too lame
and there's no way out
clear your mind of useless frames
here's your helping hand....

sunny day on earth today
a new era is dawning
sing that song follow the ray
it is never too late

Yellow Man

you are sittin alone
and your colour is yellow
full of dos and do nots
cannot give you what i want

and i m still here i m tryin
can you see it
look at me in the eye
i am pretty
you should do sth now
or forget me
i am leavin you love
you re the kind of man
whom s the colour is yellow
yellow eyes yellow smile
yellow time when i left ya

now the days are gone
and its too late
you are callin me home
said i ve changed
but it's there in your voice
when you re talking
you re still a yellow man

Lazy Noon

seaweeds on your hair
sun and sand on your knees
summer dreams
all set-up in pairs
lazy noon by the sea
thus it seems

you look good at this moment
this lazy noon by the sea
you 're with me
i'm in love with the sea
i'm in love can't you see

summer, bright summer
summer, you bring summer

Our Own Dream

when you look away
in the sea
you see the sea in the sky
while she swims

you want to go
to their feast
you cannot reach them
you don't fit in this twist

there 's no place for us there, darling
though we 're here by the sea
let me join my eyes to yours now, baby
and build our own dream

Fairytale

The lighting is lowering...
Here comes the fairy!
She's dressed up in silk-
her beauty is stunning!
"Please come with me!"-
that's what she is saying..
"There's something to see,
it's a bit away.."

She gives me her hand-
I am holding a fairy!
We 're flying like birds-
our heads up in skies!
I wonder where we go-
"to the fields of the berries!
This is a wonder
and you are part of it,my good"

Believe in what I say to you!
'cause everything is true...
Believe in what I say to you!
'cause everything is true...

The Rogue Superhero

You’re walking away
How to feel?
I am now on my way
To forgive
You turn pain to fire
How can it be?-
You’re a rogue superhero
There’s no battle here
As you won the league
One less one makes a zero

You turn pain to fire
How can it be?-
You’re a rogue superhero
There’s no battle here
You won the league
One less one makes a zero

The Chains

we 're passing
through the light
we 're facing
the same sight
and you say
"let's go now"
but the chains
hold us down

we 're passing
through the light
we're facing
the same sight
then you say
"it's my way
there's nothing
to keep me"

Struggle With Yourself

Need gave birth to life-
Anger gave birth to smile-
my brainwash tale

Dust surrounded us
We will hide and you'll find
He's chasing us
RUN

Is that the smell of distinction?
Are you dreaming of the ideal whim?
Well i don't know if it compatible or not,
you know, with your state of mind..

Struggle with yourself
Then loose then win
in short term you feel abused
you think you can ask for something else
then look at the sky

You will never be free
There's no good, there's no mean
Phobic syndroms on screen
Are we slaves of our sins?
