Sharp Thin Blade
03:48
|
|||
When you walk in and talk
I can see time…melting under the shades...
and you fumble 'bout love like a mad cat
throw your jokes like a sharp thin blade
ohhh are you trying to kill me babe?
ohhh with your lips so tight
ohhh are you trying to steal my breath
ohhh when you dance like fire
and I can barely look at your silky hair
without having to cry my babe
I could spin this world in its reverse
just to have you for once by my side
ohhh are you trying to kill me babe?
ohhh with those lips like fire…
ohhh are you trying to steal my faith
I shall be cursed, you're my evil's prank
when you tear off my clothes
and you talk bad
I am glad I gave up to sin
you're a bliss and a curse can't escape from
I'm already drunk of you, damn…
when you walk in and talk I foresee a mess…
I can see time melting under the shades
when you fumble on love like a mad cat
ohhh are you trying to hit me babe?
ohhh I'm just trying to live
ohhh are you trying to steal my breath
ohhh you're my evil on earth
ohhh are you trying to kill me babe?
ohhh with your lips so tight
ohhh are you trying to steal my breath
ohhh when you dance like fire

Wolves
02:38
|
|||
I am feeling
burning down
wolves have found me
came somehow
would you dance this
dance it loud
oh my baby
calm me down
I can I hold you
feel you burn like hell
I will lay you
while you drip your whelming hair
wolves have found me,
I could feed them waste...
but my memories
are a low ceiling to my head
all in all it's a jam of thoughts
all I hear is a mess of sounds
all in all it's a crowded world
burning down...
I am feeling
burning down
wolves have found me
came somehow
wolves have found me,
I could feed them waste...
but my memories,
are a low ceiling to my head
all in all it's a jam of thoughts
all I hear is a mess of sounds
all in all it's a crowded world
burning down...

Cities Under Guns
03:09
|
|||
Take
a seat and watch me now
I am your god
your sins I won't make right
make
your move and let me sleep
you're pushing through time
like a needle deep
I've caught you reading shadows
on your palms
your brain like cities falling
under guns
I don't give a darnedest damn
I'll watch you become ash
and I won't care
ask your clock why, beg for rain
write your poem now, and for once
have yourself
I've caught you reading shadows
on your palms
your brain like cities falling
under guns
I don't need no viral compassion
just to please
a taste of bitter tears like candies
with-out feel
paint
my wish with your desire
I can't escape from me
I love both lives
rage
won't help you, not this time
swans they're drown in cluttered water
we call pride
I've caught you reading shadows
on your palms
your brain like cities falling
under guns.

She
03:44
|
|||
She's sketching a smile
she's happy sometime
when walking home
her dreams and fears
both lost in the horizon
the past catching up
but she's leaning to allow
and leave behind
memories, like sand,
they sink you as you escape them
And I start to be afraid all the sun
wouldn't be enough to dry
all she has to sweat
what the needle has brought in
its obvious the time wouldn't heal
but you can be naked under the rain
or shelter somewhere
she's now all one with the shadows
with whom she's painting her thoughts
with back and with grey
as if yellow and white had something wrong
Save yourself
don't let rivers of endless fear
drag yourself like rag
get yourself away from here
have you seen how all the guilt and the dreadful
is set to spread
what you blame is what you'll become
so you'd better warn yourself
She dreams every night
a thousands of lives...
all those she can't live
and the only she could
it's tough and it's real
so she can't….deal
she wakes up and makes up
the man from the dreams
so that he can't leave
since dad is not there
she's gathering all breath
in one single scream

Quit
03:10
|
|||
Quit, quit, I swear I'll quit!
the needle's down…
I'm mad enough to live with beasts
I'm highly strung, they're barely calm
Shit, shit, another hit
it's coming down
it got me mad it got me dull
it burnt the confidence all at once
And I see you now,
a glint and howl
of shame,
you'll come here now
to reach the time I saved...
Beat, beat, that guitar deep
unleash noise, and scream your heart out
and don't save any voice cause
the last scream, you better be loud
As I split, lickety split,
from the court and trial
consequences are already there
as the final sip before I dry out
Had myself the final denial, took my grave and set it on fire
as I lit my cigarette and make it the last
the wind makes it short, the wind makes it fast.
I see you now,
as a howl of shame
I'm done by now
to reach the time I saved…
oohhh…

Tonight
03:20
|
|||
The higher we fly off
the sooner we'll need our feet on the ground
The more we want freedom
the more we release, the more we're alone
In my memories
I am dragging you to me
And in my memories
we are blood and lust
Tonight I'll burn my memories
tonight I'm all of my enemies
tonight….
I am all dressed with idiosyncrasies
we're all the same, all…but the one I see?
are we some sense, or just a bladder filled?
I'm leaving somewhere, or I'm here to be?
Tonight…
The higher we'll fly off
the stronger our hands clench through the sun
And whatever will
we'll be as one, and dream
and if dark will reach
we'll beam our smile and live

Stone
03:38
|
|||
Never feared to hide behind the sun
but there's a way to catch rays and light
there's no reason holding your feelings away
and the falling shades now
smile 'cause I'm burning to love you.
What we'll live is less
than dreams can draw
but all the things end so
I've build a stone
that will keep these feelings
inside for you
and as the last nights are shaking
on mornings I'll still be there
And now I've faith again
I never felt this way so long
And what a rave when I'm feeling
way more than I hoped
I'm smiling to see you smiling
I see my soul at home
I'm happy I had you before
we've gone.
The rain will drop forever
to recall
how we held our hands strong
through the storm
And the way that we'll feel
when we reach at the dawn…
that we grew old together
and we loved.

Howling
05:58
|
|||
Howling the wind comes
as my sore guts burn
reminding me it's time to awake from a sleepless night
And I've seen all my enemies
but my hate has drained to a yawn
should I kill them before I forget why I'm here to fight?
And I don't know how long I would keep calm
just by twisting dreams to past
when it's laughing at my mistakes that's keeping me alive
I've been shooting my thoughts to the moon sight
I've been searching fears to break down
but none of this, nothing gets me fine
Then I feel like I'm slipping through time
And I'm riding all the wrong miles
And I feel I'm howling my eyes out
And lighting all the wrong signs
Backwash is cold now
as my think is moving prowl
and the night grins as tough as hell as I'm going down
And preaching the lie turned to safe path
bewildered the gaze through fraud of life
I'm standing as tough as I can
to unlearn to fight
I was walking in pools full of people
with no eyes that I could look at
Now I'm calm when I'm wrong and I'm caged when I'm doing right
And I feel like I'm slipping through time
I'm riding all the wrong miles
And I'm here to hold your fears tight
But I'm lost and I'm glooming inside
As we drip our dreams through
ceilings made of time, - it doesn't
feel like we were here now
but our shadows still spread out, - and I'm
testing memory poisons now -
I'm trenching out from sight,
I'm pissing spleen at dusk but I'm doing fine
I'm so fine…lying…dying….fine…

Miss You
05:01
|
|||
I will miss you on a very sunny day
the clouds they will cry and the sun
will feel cold when he'll figure your pale lips
are too late to warm
And I will look for you through words, and notes, and rhymes
until the hourglass is tired
and when your golden smile is needed somewhere else
I'll wave it goodbye
But until that day I'll love you...
But until that day I'll kiss you…
Had a dream where I was dreaming of you old
three pines and a lake of salt
had a dream of you while singing to this song
and jumping around
And in the dream you said I love you...
And until we dream I'll kiss you…
wake me up before you leave
somehow all we need is just be here and now
take my hand and run until we've ground
cause we're dreams to feed the sun
and when we love is what will make them real
But until that day I'll love you...
But until that day I'll kiss you…
And all this time we're given
is not enough to say goodbye
Do not let time past through your hands
but when it does just smile
And I will look for you through words, and notes, and rhymes
until the hourglass is tired
and when your golden smile is needed somewhere else
I'll wave it goodbye
But until that day I'll love you...
But until that day I'll kiss you…
But until that day I'll love you...
But until that day I'll kiss you…

Come Naked
02:41
|
|||
Come here and see what they mean when
they say I drove my head out bad
Stay here and I will be clear about I'm no man
but I've got my strain
Can I be what I need for myself or
Seek a place where I feel I don't feel at all….
And are maybe those words that you think true?
That I might need a…
"Come naked" , said the shrink,
"it won't hurt you, let me in…."
and I saw then a blaze, and I chased it, and I found
it was…me.
"You see", said the shrink
"he's still there, when you need"
as I poured the first drops…they were hot….they were lots….
on my knees.
But "Hey! Wait!", then I said,
"There's no child and no man",
"all I see is my mind and the things that I've done
with my hands"
Walked the door of my
thoughts
Shut the door on his
words
as the child that was me….now has gone
Come here and see what they mean when
they say I drove my head so bad
Stay here and I will be clear about I'm no man
but I've got my strain
Can I be what I need for myself or
Seek a place where I feel I don't feel at all….
And are maybe those words that you think true?
That I might need a shrink.

Again
04:08
|
|||
Empty pages of my soul
get spotted with black ink I draw
and I've seen my thoughts
like raining blades...
an un-sheltered mind
the body obeys...
Take me into you
for me to finally wait
and fall asleep…
believe my words
pain is true as rain,
as me, today…
tonight I'm pain
and I wish I'd love
I'd love again…
I fear to choose
a single path
through the endless garden of regrets
the boy who wants to be a man
the man who wants him child again
take me there
where I'm one
with the thoughts and choice I make
Take me into you
for me to finally wait
and fall asleep…
tonight I'm pain
but I'm here to stay
to fight my thoughts and fears
and I'll love again…
and I'll love again…

Beside You
06:47
|
|||
Don't....try to understand me
You're...just wasting your time
Smile... i m tryin to justify myself
Stay away from me...and live your life
All years you've lost close to me
wrinkles...that are now around your eyes
Are like scratches... on my heart now
if i could...I'd take all your pain in me
there's is no longer that shining light were in your eyes
turns it off when the house of cards collapsed down '
I cheated and I put into play both our lives
I feel a deafening silence, i feel it around me now...
You can look beside you
She'll always to remember....what we've been togheter
Hold her close beside you
She s just the perfect picture of
All love we shared
You can look beside you
She will stay with you forever
as the gift for stolen life and wasted years
you struggled with love and grief
against a cruel and invisible enemy
You knew that something was wrong with me
and I stole your soul like a thief
like a flower that withers and slowly dies
I stopped to feed and satisfy our love
was how to understand that I never won
you were me, i chase you away with my lies
our life was like a ship
safe sailing quietly in his sea
now floating in the dark
groping to find relief
it is in the human being
or maybe just in mine
look for something to
feel something alive inside
when you are so lost and cold
head in between your knees
you feel top lonely and old
you threw all away on a him

Consequences
03:18
|
|||
Consequences dry my
faith
that what I need is
what I want?
How we dream and how we dare
to walk the road with no one's load
hanging our thoughts
troubling our way home?
The years they rush and we complain
to stop the time we need to snatch
and breathe in now
what we'd bring to grave
And yet I see disgrace
to think of me as one, who strays...
with no bonds here to stay
with no bonds here to stay…
Consequences guide my
thoughts
that what I want is walk the road
within someone's thoughts
soothing my back home.

Dog Dreams
04:25
|
|||
say...the sky is too pale,
and dog's dreams work better
then flowers and rain.
say…
flames
burning your faith
in what seemed to matter
they're now lighting your rage
I don't have much to say
but want to make you
smile, run, let yourself cry
as birds they run to settle
but will just leave and fly again
there's a flat sound and silence
bursting out loud hey hey...
now you see we are proud
to be round
with our rules to be shared
when if fact
I'm done, I'm glad, I'm dumb
like an animal caged
didn't seem like much
still young…
with some dreams to be traded
when we spent all the nights
hiding under the waves
and keeping shut the sails
of what we thought to be saved
stay awake
no faults no shame
carry on, carry on
maze, you're
looking for a way
carry on, carry on
smile, run, let yourself cry
as birds they run to settle
but will just leave and fly again
hear a flat sound and silence
bursting out loud...
everything we have, and nothing
always early enough to die
and always too late…
always worth enough to try…
wave…dare…
slam all of your doors…make
yourself a little home
oh...you can hide in your past
or just walk and have it gone
I'm lost and
I'm drinking my thoughts
well I'm there, but not all the dreams I got, while I…
take time
to forget the right lines
to regret to be wise and just live again
fuck time and denying the sun
we'll be blind
if you don't reach out to…
smile, run, let yourself cry
as birds they run to settle
but will just leave and fly again
there's a flat sound and silence
bursting out loud…

Mothership
04:16
|

Mother will you try to mend your soar
no one seems to find his way to love
Mother ship is sunk and there's no shore
that seems like home
words we used to dream are sold in stores
you can't afford
Mother they will dress our fears with gold
that we don't own
will you take them down or buy some more?
wouldn't dare
Mother town sleeps now the rain has gone
corners of your eyes they're wet once more
won't you fall?
Shake all those fears off your head
and blaze like storm... it's been too long...
When you will make to forgive your Self from soul
to live once more…
|

16. |

I won't stare at the clouds of today
cause I'm gone before they're leaving
packed my thoughts tied them pretty clenched
so this time they won't show in my head
and all I ever was I've not been there yet
and wherever I'm going now that's ok
talk to all my friends that I never had
tell my name them and ask how they're feeling
and sorry for leaving you alone right there
did I mention that I wouldn't leave?
but all I ever was has not been there
and wherever you'll go I'll be changed
and wherever you'll go I'll be changed
sorry for painting our names without shades
all the days that we had to live
now they're burning in waters and drowning in flames
did I was wrong, or wrong was in me?
and all I ever was, has not been there
and wherever you'll go I'll be changed
and wherever you'll go I'll be changed

Pretty Rad
03:20
|
|||
Honey, all the money we saved
I'm gonna get a gun to kill some time…
Or I could shoot it twice in my face,
would you help me on the second fire?
I will drink some poison
and dance all night
drown into the river set myself to fire
when the death will show up
I'll be alright
And she will be ashamed 'cause I'm pretty rad
find me 'cross the river
grab my bones to feel 'em
give me a chance to be a man
or I will hang me now
hassle you somehow
jump under a train
or die in a big way….'cause I'm rad
I will drink some poison
and dance all night
drown into the river set myself to fire
when the death will show up
I'll be alright
And she will be ashamed 'cause I'm pretty rad
will you find me 'cross the river
grab my bones to feel 'em
give me a chance - to be a man
or I will hang me now
hassle you somehow
jump under a train
or die in a big way….'cause I'm rad
Rolling over, bending over
hang in over all
until I save my mind
And get things fine
Let me drive until the road is clear
then I will preach - and fear the sober God
and pour him scotch
Telling him the names of all
religions we made
the wars that we make
and lies that we ate
Rolling over, bending over
all this and that
I should hang me right now
but fuck, I'm pretty rad!
I'll drink poison
and dance all night
drown into the river set myself to fire
when the death will show up
I'll be alright
And she will be ashamed 'cause I'm pretty rad
Find me 'cross the river
grab my bones to feel 'em
give me a chance - to be a man
or I will hang me now
hassle you somehow
jump under a train
or die in a big way….'cause I'm rad.

Room 1
04:57

Do I remember stories
when I was child you told me?
will I remember colors
that once I saw on your face?
and it was bright,
and I wouldn't mind time…
cause I wouldn't know how it goes much too fast…
Never been so good with words
I'd never go much wrong than...
I emptied so many jars of white
that black came to my mind then
by the time you read this I'll be a man
I'll lead somewhere to unmake your regrets
by the time I sing this song would you
would tell me growing ain't so bad
and the sky was bright
of my lonely glare
and my cardboard plays
things other define I'm trying to understand
the room is crawling with the stillness
lights oh…make child's dreams better
do I still remember how to feel them
would you stick around until I make them…
by the time you read this I'll be a man
I'll lead somewhere to unmake your regrets
by the time I sing this song would you
would tell me growing it ain't so bad
now I am trying make things right…
now I'm trying…

Baritone
06:12
|

I've been a lonely boy
shelve your problems, you're so proud.
I'm pouring rain inside
just to tame my mind.
why don't you come around
why don't we start again from ground?
why don't you sip your plain pain
all your wit spills sour grapes
why don't you start again from ground?
and you now walk like that
with your baritone voice as a mask
but I remember when
we'd just dream and talk like friends
strip the world down
leave it bleeding on its own
we don't need no crown,
understand: we're time.
and these days they run away
all we need's to share
see, I've talked enough
take this bitter rants as the words I say last.
