When the paint chips off the aging wall
It may be time to look at it, without a sound
When you find balance in being small
You may tell your loved ones that you were profound
When the day turns out to be white
And they blindfold all your senses into the night
When the moon is your only light
And you feed your hopes with tomorrow’s lies
I don't trust you
yet I want, to meet you
I don’t love you
yet I want, to hold you
I can't stand you
Yet I want, to see you
I don't love you
Yet I want, to feel you
I don't trust you
yet I want, to hold you
I can't stand you
Yet I want, to love you

Prejudice

They don't know you
But they'll do anything
To make you believe that they do
They are confused
‘Cos they can’t label you
Let them learn how to love
They believe they are liberated
Don’t let them turn you around
Don’t let them turn you around, anymore
They don’t know you
But they won’t give you a chance
To grow up, to be the change
When we're forgotten, we become the face of the lost.
Don’t let them turn you around
Don’t let them turn you around, anymore
They don't know you
But they'll do, anything

His Buried Life
02:53
|

The southern suburbs
The stone-colored light
On the way to work
Feeling not quite right
Day after day
The bitter strife
A stranger to himself
His buried life
The deaths he's suffered
And it always can be much rougher
The soundless dark
The empty street
The way back home
After another defeat
All he's ever wanted
Is to be at ease
He's eager to hear
Next, please
The life he never expected
You know he feels neglected
His eyes filled with tears
Who are you after all these years?

Thrusting Forward

When he sat down the page was blank
He did not know how to make it spark
And even though she is not here to help
He couldn't believe that she was gone
Each sound made a word
Each line gave him hope
She didn't stop to say goodbye
She turned off the lights and went to the west
She put her love against the ground
Hoping to never come around
Each darling fade away
Each sugar was a rainy day
And he´ll meet you there
Please hang on tight
Cause he won´t let you down
And he won't let you fall
He won't fool around
He wants you safe
Every word makes a sound
Every line gives him hope
Everyone roots for you
Every time you say you're done

So you said you wanted to be a part of this
It wasn’t like we were going to the moon
And now the little timer has gone off
Suddenly there is nothing we can do
He was looking for ten years of gravy in his life
She was looking for a place where a thought might grow
Then the sun came down over the starving ground
Too many days spent inside an empty home
And now the little timer has gone off
Suddenly there is nothing we can do

Why don't you take me home?
Why don't you take me home?
Please come and take me home
Why won’t you take me home?

A world Full of No Ones
02:59
|

Everybody needs someone
But not that someone
Everybody loves someone
But not that someone
Everybody needs someone
Everybody loves someone
Everybody hates someone
Everybody loves someone
But not that someone
It’s hard to be no one in a world full of someones
Harder to be someone in a world full of no ones

The Better Me
03:26
|

Some days are better than others
He cares for another morning he can see
Maybe we are falling under
the impression that we don’t count at all
Some feelings are worth living for
But you don't know how to try
And you don't know when to stop
you don't know how to breathe
And you don’t know how to give
You are working on it
No one will ever tell you how
To see what’s going on you’ve got to carry on
Lazy, slowly getting crazy
About the little things that you can’t control
Some feelings are worth living for
But you don't know how to try
And you don't know when to stop
you don't’ know how to give
And you don’t know how to live
You are getting it right
Please say you will do what you can
To make me see the better me
For every word, there is a smile / Just show that you care
For every penny, there is a hand / Pretend it’s ok
For everyone, there is a castle / You know that is right
For every man / You feel it inside
For everyone / You make it alright

I Understand Why
03:54
|
|||
I didn’t forget,
you are still on my mind
I’m not afraid
of what you can find
This is what it seems
The same old refrain
We used to dream
It’s not all in vain
So you`re not impressed
I understand why
There’s no better word
For the hard goodbye
I can clearly see the signs
There is no escape
Remember the times
When it wasn’t late
You left a mark on me
Humble as an autumn song
Now you’re free
You light my way

Shoveling Snow

I was raising the kids
That I still don’t have.
Falling for signs
I whisper so loud
I’m heading north
I’m heading north
I was assembling the parts
Of a dismantled man
Learning how to smile
And how to fall apart
It’s so cold outside
It’s so cold outside
I was drinking my time
Smoking red wine
I got nothing to do
But someone to be
Letting the winter pass
Letting the winter go
When I turn off the lights
I’m by my side
Dreaming my life
Living my past
Shoveling snow
Shoveling snow
