Welcome Mere Bastard 01:32
lyrics

A slice of earth Note to self From ash to ground From here to hell If quiet? Then calm? I like old things as now I'm becoming one I like old things as now I'm becoming one

The Gift 04:06
lyrics
buy track
Rest and let me rest and let me feel my hands Sink into the body that floats above my head Wrong? I could be wrong until I'm right again Waltz and let me waltz and let the midnight in Fall and let me fall into reality False intepretation of the world you see? Do you mind? cause I don't mind if I waste my time Leave, you always leave And then you come back as a lie Take a little piece of me Take a little piece with you now Take a little piece of me Take the last piece and get lost in the night that gave birth to you Who do I have to thank for this gift? To who do I owe the pleasure?

Blade Runner 04:40
lyrics
buy track
If I can not live through you Then maybe I'll crash inside you If I can't get over you I'll play it as if nothing has changed If I can not taste the air If I can not outsmart my luck I'll drink all the rain instead I'll sleep with the wolves in my head It's more than a memory An image of youth so fragile Reminder of all that's fake The saddest among the scarecrows If I can't believe the truth If I cannot be as worthy I'll drink all the lie instead I'll sleep with the wolves in my head Then maybe it'd be enough Then maybe the silence Could help me understand How nobody died for nothing While it rests... While it rests... While it rests... While it rests... on you "All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain...Time to die"

A Dinner With Ghosts 03:54
lyrics
buy track
Why the long face? Why the bad manners? Wasn't it you that said? That nothing's forever and ever we sink into a sea of hollow goodbyes, of cheap imitations, Strapped to the mast of a ship that was never meant to hold, that was never meant to anchor So I say goodbye I look at the sun I'm ready to go I'm ready for bottom So why the long face? Such a sore loser Wouldn't you die for us? With us? Then why did you come here? Why did you come here? A look at the clouds? A look at the stars? Why did you come here? Why did you come here? We're too far gone now We're too far gone now We shouted for God and nobody cried We shouted for luck and everyone laughed The ones that we save we lose in the ocean Our forgotten hope echoes in the night

The Great Unclear 05:06
lyrics
buy track
The sea is blue The sea is blue unless it's black The trees are green The trees are green unless they're not The earth is round The earth is round unless it's square (but of course it's flat) The flowers bloom The flowers bloom unless they sting You know it well You know it well Everything's not always what it seems The silent sky It's only nice until it screams The midnight dream It's always real or so it seems The children laugh The children laugh unless they cry The future's bright The future's bright unless it's not You know it well You know it well Everything's not always what it seems Always pretending everything is fine (Unless you're dead, Unless I'm dead) Always lost in memories that were never mine (I guess I'm dead, I guess you're dead) All our years, deep buried into the sea (The sea is black, the fish are gone) Promises we hung, up high on the trees Never to be reached again

The Burglar Trap 03:14
lyrics
buy track
Kiss the night good luck Set up burglar traps The mouse must have hidden a cat The music's too loud The neighbors are up Play the creepiest song On and on and on If there is a heaven in us all There must be a hell There must be a devil's horn! Set your wings on fire No more mute desire Violent is everyone Violent is life You should learn to always knock twice There's a child in the garden and he's hungry for blood There's a fire in the sky and it's joining the sun There is right in the hand of the burglar tonight There's a darkness beheading the stars while you're living the lie

The Drawer 05:52
lyrics
buy track
There is a drawer behind this door Where all of my memories lie Magic tricks, alarms and bicycles Mistakes that knock more than twice I've got a place for the happy days Even the bad ones are there I've kept a place for the dinosaurs I've kept a corner for you But I lost the key to the lock I can not find it inside this mess I'm just too tired, that's all Around here, somewhere... Always the world slips out of my hands Why these things happen at all? Is there a reason for anything? Or is there a wall in the fog? All answers have their when, where and why But they sleep most of the time Next to the dinosaurs, close to our fights Inside the drawer they hide But I lost the key to the lock I can not find it inside this mess I'm just too tired, that's all Around here, somewhere... Dreams that we had Ended up in nightmares People move on So why do I bother? What can't be found Should be forgotten Forget the questions Forget the answers Seas never freeze from one day to another Fires can't start If you never light them Choices can't be If you never make them Words always hurt Cause I always let them So keep that in mind Tune out the noise and Remember the truth For now and for always For all of the times I sank to the bottom For losing my sleep For what I held sacred For all of the pain For all of the anger For every word stuck Inside me forever For now and for always

The Purple Night 03:58
lyrics
buy track
This is just a part of me The one I really hate It's who I never wanted to be Exactly like you These were the worst of words I chose To make it work Cut the head of the snake and the body dies I should've let it rest in peace In the swamp of history I should've buried it too deep In the darkest corner I should've looked the other way A slave of impulse, A pet of circumstance, A mere coincidence "I shall grant you a moment of eternity So you can cry forever I shall let you have your own tail to chase Until... you become somebody" The purple night will crash you You never had a chance The purple night emerges As sudden as the rain The purple night is mine I'm where I've always been The purple night is mine The way it's supposed to be

In The Soft Light 04:33
lyrics
buy track
The regret of the evening The revenge of the storm All the drinks couldn't make up For the murder I bought It's not enough They're coming back It cannot hold anymore I will relapse I'm not enough For you I know how to sedate you By making fool of myself While my words are destroying Everything in the world They're coming back They're blind at heart They need you more than I do I will relapse I'm not enough For you or nobody else All these weird creatures stared at us Through smoke and nightmares guided us All these blind creatures dreamt of us They ate the stars and shined afar And we stayed there All alone and Uninvited In the soft light In the soft light

Weightless 07:12

So weightless life you found So weightless So weightless heart you drag So weightless So weightless laugh you spit So weightless So weightless hate you scream So weightless So weightless...

You Were Bound To Disappear 05:53
lyrics
buy track
You were bound to disappear Like all the others did before you You were made to shed no tears And i'm not wasting anymore of mine You were bound to disappear Like lucid dreams when morning comes Always prone to flood and fear If only I was stronger than this You are bound to disappear Like every dog forgets the dead Like every drop into the ocean Like everyone does in the end You will always disappear When I'm killing every joke When I'm messing up my words When I'm reaching out for you
