The Balloon's Boy
04:14
|
|||
I remember the clouds floating over me
the storm chaser driving his car patiently.
All the pain is mine,
the boy fills his homemade balloons.
We are neglected and frail over a faraway sea, where we meet,
where we fall,
here we meet, then we fall.
Real life is nothing but the strings in your hand.
I remember them flying
above our heads,
the policeman
didn’t shut the car door properly.
All the colors were freed.
The boy follows them in the clouds.
We are neglected and frail over a faraway sea, where we meet,
where we fall,
here we meet, then we fall.
Real life is nothing but the strings in your hands.

Circus Days
02:37
|

You see me walking, yearning nights.
Watch my steps, watch me,
dance along the rope.
There’s a shadow in my dress
there’s a hole I’m gazing in,
it fades on me.
Look up and follow me down,
Look up and follow me down, in a long and cold desire.
Every time they follow me,
I guess I’ll dance alone.
I have been the main star indeed.
So many people under me.
Tonight I left my dress below
while my body flies up still somewhere,
towards the other Big Show.
Look up and follow me down,
Look up and follow me down, in a long and cold desire.
Every time they follow me,
I guess I’ll dance alone.

Closer Doesn't Mean Near
03:16
|
|||
We stop each other at the door, don’t you see?
I figured out
how closer doesn’t mean near.
I put my ear on the ground, can’t hear a sound.
I figured out
how closer doesn’t mean near.
I’ve seen this movie once before I know the closing scene:
She needs to please her heart.
I need it ever since.
Now we are left so cold and sad through the pleasures and the pain. I figured out
how closer doesn’t mean near.
I’ve seen this movie once before I know the closing scene:
She needs to please her heart.
I need it ever since.

Human Noise
03:21
|
|||
Painting figures
black and white
thinking about how long we’ve been alone.
I’m drawing lines
around the meaning of this blue,
thinking about
a burning out desire.
So help me find out more
how to face another day
help me to escape again
from this anger that surrounds me.
Final words
of letters sent to no-one
fill the blackness,
melt and turn
into human noises.
Too many fool illusions
tears fell from your side
just to drag me down to the beginning.
How long does it take
to get out of this cage?
...though I’ve gone away
I cannot be so far.
So help me find out more
how to face another day
help me to escape again
from this anger that surrounds me.
Final words
of letters sent to no-one
fill the blackness,
melt and turn
into human noises.
Rub the bloodstains out
and clean what’s left behind
by the silence of my heart.

Junkyard

Another cloud has gone
the rain has passed.
I cut this picture in two,
lost the side with you on.
Walking backward
through the city’s greed,
share the sunshine with me
before my tears may hit the ground.
Watching the afternoon sun
I dig inside of me
till I remember who you are
I don’t remember who you are.
Another day has gone
the rain has passed
So people pass me by,
no smile is given.
Buildings surround the path of my wayward life.
Maybe I’ll disappear again, I will lay no longer
Watching the afternoon sun
I dig inside of me
till I remember who you are
I don’t remember who you are.

Flesh and Bones
04:23
|
|||
Fall upon the days never ending rain,
passing through the time that slips away.
I cross the waters now,
let me go.
I heard the speaker say:
“somebody closed the house of God, somebody slammed the door”
I know I will be stuck here
but leaving just my flesh and bones
I know I will be sitting there
beyond the Trail.
Walking through the day
when September ends
when my shoes are full
of a different kind of rain.
Across the neighborhood, just let me go.
For I heard the speaker say: “somebody closed the house of God, somebody slammed the door”
I know I will be stuck here
but leaving just my flesh and bones
I know I will be sitting there
beyond the Trail.

Somebody Must Fall
03:25
|
|||
Don’t fade away in the crowd
when everybody stares at everything that’s broken.
So don’t get me wrong
all is still the same
I see everywhere
maybe
I need to lift off the ground.
Don’t walk away in the crowd when everybody shouts
and keeps on their cheating...
So don’t get me wrong
I am still the same
I don’t feel a thing
maybe
I need to lift off the ground.
I guess
if something is missing, somebody must fall. I guess
if somebody is missing, somebody must fall.
I’ve been where nobody is around I’ve been asleep
Misled by my selfness.
So don’t get me wrong
all flowed endlessly
I’m still loving you
maybe
I need to lift off the ground.
I guess
if something is missing, somebody must fall. I guess
if somebody is missing, somebody must fall.

Listen To The Soul
02:49
|
|||
Listen to the soul that's speaking,
coming through the brightest places, down to me.
Listen what's racing through a timeless feeling
Listen what's racing through a timeless feeling
everybody’s love
seems to run away
Listen to my soul that's speaking
I will share the same intention starting from the scratch
Listen what's coming through a timeless feeling
Listen what's coming through a timeless feeling everybody’s love
seems to run away
Listen what's coming through a timeless feeling
Listen what's coming through a timeless feeling
everybody’s love
seems to run away

Untitled Waltz
03:07
|

How could I ever be far from you?
Such a deep way for hiding my memories
Blinded by the rage
nothing worthwhile
can you open your sad eyes?
Mistakes in my every day
uncertain ways to shoot our movie
hidden in my brain
there’s nothing worthwhile
can you open your sad eyes?
Nothing can go wrong
today
can’t go wrong
nothing can go wrong
today I can’t be wrong.
I thought I might have been someone else
no name, my drawings
suddenly vanished
buried in your mind
nothing worthwhile
can you open your sad eyes?
Getting over
Getting over my days
aware
nothing worthwhile
can you open your sad eyes?

The Way She Knows
03:32
|
|||
From a window
her memories and a trace of doubt.
A trace of sadness,
she’s standing here,
standing wide awake.
Trace of shadows
all along the barricades
and from a window
I recall my memories again...
That’s the way she’s calling
that’s the way she knows
leaving all the pain behind
the drops bend the flowers
so she never knew
she gave up to the meaning and the face.
She’s a flower
seeding smiles across the field.
Again the sadness,
she’s standing here
standing wide awake.
I am sleeping
all along
the harbor’s place
and form this window
I recall my memories again...
That’s the way she’s calling
that’s the way she knows
leaving all the pain behind
he drops bend the flowers
so she never knew
she gave up to the meaning and the face.

A Lost Spring Song
03:11
|
|||
I need to know what’s going on, I need to know.
I see a smile upon your face
I’m in a room filled up with words
I need to hold you tight
when you dream the things you get
when you get what you deserve
it’s me?
who’s really dreaming all of you?
I see that nothing changes
even when it’s getting better
nothing even after
stuck inside a deeper state of mind.
I need to say or to scream and shout, I need to be.
It was a pretty dream about our life,
like in a book without a cover
I can show myself
when you dream the things you get
when you get what you deserve
it’s me?
who’s really dreaming all of you?
I see that nothing changes
even when it’s getting better
nothing even after
stuck inside the deepest state of mind.
