As the thread of the past pains to come undone. And the web where I rest turns me inside again. Stony hands mark the line that I reach one day, But your face pales and fades on the other side, right. I hang low, low, low Hanging low, reaching out for your timid hands. Fairytales, candy rocks, sheltered by the old sea. No control, no comfort in a future tense. Not a word, not a dash that would reconcile us. I would show you the life we’ve always had, but I can’t recall. We are the children that never came back. We are the nice lies that everyone likes. We are the distance ever so large. We are the same. And the lights, are always on... I gotta see you again…

All For You
For your world,
Is a day in love in a world,
Blind to see.
Inner healing.
Integrity.
You know what I mean?
For your world,
Is intending eyes that wander,
Across the sea.
Always feeling.
Intensity.
You know what I mean?
In this world,
So separated.
So evolved.
And I told you,
Come, come, come
It’s all for you.
For your world,
Is a quality of reflection,
Longing to see.
Pure being.
Necessity.
You know what I mean?
In this world,
So separated.
So evolved.
And I told you,
Come, come, come
It’s all for you.
It’s all for you.
It’s all for you.
It’s all for you.
It’s all for you.
It’s all for you.
It’s all for you.

The travelling one
02:48
|
|

Come on home,
Oh, you travelling one.
Today is best.
Tonight is fine.
And it’s not too late by tomorrow.
It’s so hard,
To take it easy.
It’s not enough.
It’s oh too much.
But not as much as I’d like to.
Are you reaching out?
To touch what the cosmos is saying.
Are you reaching out?
Are you seeking out?
Are you seeking a way outta seeking?
Just why can’t you be you with me, see,
I’m burning,
I’m reaching out for you.
Watch me reaching out,
Sense me reaching out,
Out, around,
To be reaching out,
Want to reach for the sea in the night,
Can’t you see by the light, that day will be found.
I’m growing old,
But I am still game,
I’m patient, but I cannot hold,
I never save for tomorrow.
Need to use you today.
Need to amuse you tonight.
Pull your strings that twist you around,
Have you fall like a landslide.
Are you reaching out?
To touch what the cosmos is saying.
Are you reaching out?
Are you seeking out?
Are you seeking a way outta seeking?
Just why can’t you be you with me, see,
I’m burning,
I’m reaching out for you.
Watch me reaching out,
Sense me reaching out,
Out, around,
To be reaching out,
Want to reach for the sea in the night,
Can’t you see by the light, that day will be found.
Come on now, come on now.
Ooooh.
Come on now, come on now.
Ooooh.
Come on now, come on now.
Ooooh.
Hey you travelling one.
Ooooh.
Hey you travelling one.

Grey sky
05:25

In a second. The things I knew where blown away, But now I’m learning. Of all uncertain. Of careless waiting just for you, Always for you. I try to walk faster, But the decaying leaves of fall, Just drag me down, deep underground.
On one of these ordinary days, A grey sky will deliver what’s in store for you, And I think that you may see. But I don’t know.
Thinking it twice, Just a tiny bit of sunlight would be enough, To turn all things upside down. As we all can see, Lightning after lightning, Must have sealed our weary fate, As it breathes firebranded on those darkest clouds.
Found a new way, Run people, run, The first raindrops touch my forehead, And it looks it’s gonna pour, pour, pour. Oh, please someone take me home.
Cos’ I don’t know.
Taking your fat chance for granted. Has given us more misery than you could ever think. Just open your eyes and look around you. All that life that felt so good, Is quickly retreating, beaten, By a bloody cobblestone. The one we liked to sit upon. And if you ever leave this place alive, Don’t forget to spread the news, That the storm is here to stay,
But I don’t know...

No one ever told me
03:16

I said, really, no one ever told me.
I was told nothing.
No one ever told me.
If it was written in the stars, baby,
I never reached out to read what they had to say.
No one ever told me.
Ain’t nothing that’s truth.
It’s just word of mouth.
It’s so hard to make the reasons play.
Got a feeling, of what’s going on.
Sense that you’ve been away too long,
Oh, too long.
I was fooled, by the light.
I was fooled, by enticing lights.
I was really just waiting for the sun,
To give me some direction today.
I was just waiting for some real sun,
To give me look at today.
Ain’t nothing that’s truth.
It’s just word of mouth.
It’s so hard to make the reasons play.
Got a feeling, of what’s going on.
Sense that you’ve been away too long,
Oh, too long.
In the window, the diamond’s been sold.
But what you got matches, everything (glittering) gold.
Oh, we can take a short cut.
We can take a short cut.
Oh, we can take a short cut.
Ain’t nothing that’s truth.
It’s just word of mouth.
It’s so hard to make the reasons play.
Got a feeling, of what’s going on.
Sense that you’ve been away too long,
Oh, too long.

Seen it all
02:19
|
|

See her jumping up and down
Across the tiles into the lawn
So much for begging for some live
Make sure I won’t be touched again
Been caught skating for some food
But now it’s hot like eating gold
But oh I’m empty I have seen God
Now please don’t touch me because I’m old
My looks are gentle like the blues
But can you tell me what you see?
Uh, uh, uh
Seen it all…
Inner blindness is a trip
that’s safe to take when you’re alone
The night is short, the music’s there
I reach the shore, the monster dies
Living creatures of the night
With make up face you’re here to stay
So hear my friend, take what I say
because only a gun will blow your mind
Uh, uh, uh
Seen it all…

Racing easter island
05:31
|
|

Have you heard them scream at night?
Just another rock to climb
May the anguish let you sleep?
Just another rock to climb
Hiding your head so deep in the sand
To run from the names you’re spelling in dreams
Dames that rape, names that make you still
The morning sun, caged in your bar coded wrist
Drenched in the life force of millions for whom there is no next day
There has to be another place
a high land for the fortunate ones to make it there
Scream your way up to the top
Just another rock to climb
I know well you know what’s going on
Trading your life for soothing holograms and plastic perks
But we gotta run, move on, head on towards the surface
To reach for that one world, one thought, one sword
Swiftly, stylishly, raising our arms
Easter island’s on the rise
Just another rock to climb

What I know
04:01
|
|
||
All the faces turn my eyes,
Inside, there’s something on my mind.
And love’s the blue inside my veins,
Do nothing, but feel the pain.
Of what I know,
What I know,
Is everything I’m willing to show.
What I know,
What I know,
It’s like I can’t see it somehow.
She’s the celluloid sunshine,
I see, when nobody’s around.
And night reveals the sorrow in my eyes,
One more tear to magnify the might,
Of what I know,
What I know,
Is everything I’m willing to show.
What I know,
What I know.
I’m the man that understands,
In time, there’ll always be an end...
To what I know,
What I know,
Is everything I’m willing to show.
What I know,
That I’m sure,
The faces in the dark won’t go away.

Sea drown
05:00
|
|
||
Turn around,
The sea’s in sight.
Sail,
See yourself.
When you’re washed away,
Floating alone,
You’re sat on the waves,
Feeling you’ve been sold.
I prayed,
For good times.
For me and you,
Again, that’s why...
I gave,
All the way.
But the final dance,
Tipped the balance like a devil on a soul trail.
Why do we compromise?
These feelings we have inside.
You said what you said, I said what I said,
When the storm clouds shout about it.
All the good times kept in a shrine,
For rainy days to keep their shine.
I’m leaving behind the fields of fears and a rather deep spell,
Gonna find me a way back home.

Conquerors
04:26

Hey you, hear me well: there’s nothing to do but you gotta do it
In these darkest times integrity rises above fallen towers
In the darkest moments we hear the calling of mother Isis
We’re conquerors
Crush the snake in time, their power is futile when hitting the bottom
-take a loving gift
In this seamless hour we hear the calling of mother Isis
We’re conquerors
The sound of my guitar goes rising below the deep of the stars
In the raging war we hear the calling of mother Isis
In the wildest cities we hear the calling of mother Isis
We’re conquerors
We’re conquerors
