4

It’s for all the days when you’ve said it all
And no one seems to hear
For all the days when truth won’t take your side
No matter what it’s gonna be
And all the days when you are caught up
In life’s stupid symmetry
Those days that repeat

For all that has been
For all that has gone
For all that will be
For all that can never be

And it’s for the times you know we had
And that never will be back
For all the things that just went wrong
And couldn’t be set back on track
For all the friends that went away
That never were here to stay
They've all gone away

And it’s for the days when you are caught up
In life’s stupid symmetry
Those days that repeat



ALONE

So now it’s late, they’ve all gone home
And silence sinks so deep
And all the candles have burned out
And yet I cannot sleep
And it makes me think

Another glass and then I’ll go
A song to keep me here
I know it’s been like this before
Won’t make it disappear
And it makes me think
Just what went wrong
And it makes me think

Just why I always have to end up
Here all on my own
But at the end of the day I say
It’s okay to be alone

The colours fading till they drown
With all that’s left to see
Outside the world may have come down
Won’t mean a thing to me
And it makes me think

So here it comes, I’ll shut the door
I’ll make it go away
If I don’t dream of you no more
I know I’ll be okay
And it makes me think
Just what went wrong
And it makes me think

Just why I always have to end up
Here all on my own
But at the end of the day, it’s okay
And even if I’m meant to stay
Forever on my own
At the end of the day I say
It’s okay to be alone



AWAY FROM ME

And I watch them go by
Yet never see
Anything but the outer side
And the make-believe
The crying died away
Million years ago
Nothing left for me to say
Nothing that I know

Take it all away
Make it go away
From me

In the absence of time
We all get lost
Even if there’s no reward
There will always be the cost
Beneath this frozen shell
Nothing could have stayed
Wish I was in hell
Burn this cold away

Beneath the stains of time
Feelings disappear

You’ve got to take this away from me
Why don’t you take it away



BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG CITY

So it's about three in the morning
And do you know just where you are
Looks like some stupid game that you're caught in
One that won't get you far
If you could stop your mind from spinning
Like some sick revolving door
But all you see has lost its meaning
What did you come here for

So it's about four in the morning
And do you care just where you are
Say hello to the ghosts that are haunting
All that you are
What you want is someone to believe in
Shine a light in your blackened sky
But you don't understand these feelings
They just don't seem right

If you fall down don't make a sound
And it might all just come around
But if you fall you'll lose it all
So better keep your head down

So now it is five in the morning
And you don't care where you are
There's nothing left to keep you from falling
From what you are
And you don't know what made you come here
Search for something you could not find
A simple plan made out of longing
But two wrongs don't make a right



COLOURBLIND

Lost inside of what you think
Is bigger than your own small mind
Stand apart from what you fear
Is some mistake you’ve made to last

What was red turns blue
An empty space that’s you

Go and finish all your stories
There’s no help from me this time
I have sailed my boat
Off this shore

Feel so proud of what you claim
Is something never done before
Feel so free of what you know is
Just the thing you’re gonna be

What was red turns blue
An empty space that’s you

Go and finish all your stories
There’s no help from me this time
I have sailed my boat from the shore
I’ve made it just in time
Time for me to tell a story
Bout when you went colourblind
and I sailed away from this shore



COME TO ME

What I need to know
Is will you come to me
You see it’s getting dark
And who knows what will be
I wish that I could tell you
There’s not a thing to fear
But I don’t know the way
Or where it’ll lead us from here

Thought I’d lost it all
My nights had turned to day
And I was on my own
In this universe of grey
So don’t care if I wonder
If you might be just a dream
In this nightmare world
Too good to me to be real

When I’m with you
There’s always something near
Trying to get a hold
Trying to kill all that I feel
But I will make this promise
That I will not get scared
I will find my way
Through all that's in my head

So please tell me
Will you come to me
Cause I know I do
I wanna come to you



FEEL IT COMING

He who looks an angel
May not be a saint
Let your eyes mislead you

And you feel it coming
And it caves you in
Much faster than you think
Your strength expiring
Consuming all those vain hopes
No one cares
No one cares for what you

Feel it coming
The exit door is shut
Feel it coming

Sometimes you wonder
Has it ever been this bad
Will there be another time
Floating on the surface
Thinking other people’s thoughts
No one feels
No one feels for what you

Your lucky star has fallen
Your inner child’s a brat
Now the water
It is rising
To your chin
And it won’t stop

If you believe in something
Now's the time to pray
Asking for a fair trial
And you beg forgiveness
Though you’ve done nothing wrong
No one feels
No one feels for what you



FLYING

Tonight I will dream
Of what I long for
Will see it with my eyes
And I will fly

No longer any tears
No need for them now
It all seems far away
As I fly

No more any pain
Just what I wish for
Departed from this world
Flying high



GET LOST

I saw you watching me
And yeah I watch you
I guess it’s plain to see
That you think about your move

I’ve seen you here before
Oh yes it’s true
You’ve been around before
But never knew just how to move

And I just wanna say
It’s safe to stay away
That’s where you wanna be

I know you’re closer now
Than you have been
Well it’s just funny how
I can read your mind don’t you think

I guess you oughta know
A thing or two
Oh yeah you really should know
That what you see just ain’t true

So we're talking now
And I tell you
There's just no way how
This could ever lead to any good

Cause all the things you see
Are not what you get with me
There is so much more
And that is why I say
It's safe if you stay away
That's where you wanna be



IN DISARRAY

The waters of this stream
Have dried up recently
And it feels much safer here
Since I ran away
Somewhere else to lay the blame
The crying and the shame
Like finding a new name
On a new day

Keep it all at bay
Let it hold and sway
And I hear them say
I’m in disarray

Alone on this empty shore
Soiled down to the core
And I was here before
But couldn’t stay
The currents in my mind
Let it all unwind
The tales from another time
Another age

Lying in the shade
This twilight that I’ve made
Some things just won't fade
No need to pray
I had to realize
Nothing there to find
No one of this kind
All gone away


Today I’ll fly my kite
Ten miles high
Let it die in the light
And no disarray



LIAR

Your pain makes you beautiful
And the things that you do
How you love to lose control
Whenever it feels right
See the world through jaded eyes
And all those walls inside your mind
How it seems there’s every right
For you to be this way

And it’s always been the same
And will always be
See through your disguise
And you turn away

It’s never painful when you leave
You've never been the one to grieve
Burn the bridges while you can
Before somebody does
So you’re always on the run
And if you want there will be someone
If you just wear that haunted face
That works so well

And it’s always been the same
And will always be
See through your disguise
And you turn away
You will always play this game
And will never see
The last laugh is on you
As you turn away



LOGIC WILL DEFY YOU

So you got it all worked out
Strapped a corset 'round your heart
To keep your love from spilling out
Ever again
And you got it all scaled down
To silent figures on a chart
Adding up to some amount
And that's all
So bright - The only limit is your head
So free - inside of your head

But logic will defy you
Show the world just what you are
There's no benefit of doubt
In the arts of love and war
Logic will defy you
It's stronger than you are
It makes your charts and maps explode
In technicolor harm

So you got it all worked out
Move the pieces on your board
And never take into account
The heart of the pawn
Cause you got it figured out
The perfect fraud
Let them think you got a soul
Though we both you you don't
So bright - The only limit is your head
So fee - inside of your head



PRISON OF ME

What goes around will come around
And what goes up will come crashing down
Some things they break
Without a sound
And things will change yet stay the same
And I am scared of what remains
And there are things I can't escape

And I can see
That I’m locked in here

I’ll move too fast and go to slow
Try to avoid the final blow
And there are things I’ll never know
And if to see is to believe
Then what I feel just can’t be real
And nothing is what it seems

And I can see
That I’m locked in here
And I don’t want to be
In this prison of me



RAIN

It's true, I thought of you today
Built a bridge of thin air
To get to you
From out of nowhere
But it's been raining here for days
Summer's promise has been drowned
Beneath these darkening clouds

But I don't care
Just let it rain

Sometimes, I'm not sure that I
Should spend so much of my time
Thinking of you
It doesn't seem right
But it's been raining now for days
And I fear that I might drown
Beneath these darkening clouds

But I don't care
Just let it rain
No, I don't care
Let it wash away

I only wish that I could hide
Stay in bed till the water's dried
Pull the sheets up to my ears
Wait and dream till you are
Here



SO SURREAL

Lights are low
The curtain’s drawn
Music roars
From here to dawn
Hide behind
What you want them to see
Plastic pride
And fake ecstasy

Does it have to be so surreal
What am I doing here
Why always so surreal
What am I doing here

Feel the walls
Come closing in
No more room
To breathe it seems
Bodies swaying
Hypnotic trance
High and vain
In this senseless dance



SPACE

My mind lives in the dark
A far-off quiet place
Where no fires are
And no one leaves a trace
My faith has gone to sleep
To rest a tired heart
And bury it so deep
Beneath an angry star
My hopes will sail the seas
To find the distant shores
Cause they long to be
Where no one was before

And I wait in silence
For a turning of the tide
I might never see
When all the fear comes to and end
And leaves a little space for me

My dreams they are the waves
Crashing at my feet
With their fairy-tales
Of all that I could be
My hopes are lost at sea
Shaken by the storm
Too weak now to be
Ever coming come



THE REMAINS

Wandering, I find myself
Coming in on the last train
Stumbling, led astray
Suffocate on this way
Wandering, I see myself
Or the little that remains
Wandering, I lose myself
Coming in from the rain
Stumbling, Led astray
This will go all the way

Once again

Wandering, I find myself
Coming in on the last train
Stumbling, led astray
Contemplate what to say
Wandering, I see myself
Can’t get rid of the stain
Wandering, I lose myself
Coming in from the rain
Stumbling, Led astray
This will go all the way

Wandering, I find myself
I will leave on the last train
Stumbling, but on my way
I know now I can’t stay
Wandering, I see myself
In what little will remain
Wandering, I lose myself
Never see you again
Stumbling, I'll leave today
This will go all the way



THIS BEATEN TRACK

Please let me be
I need to breathe
To fall so deep
To go unseen
Can't stop the light you shine
And it hurts my eyes
It makes me want to cry

So here we go, another round
Another fight that will not end
Another trip down the beaten track
With my old friends
And I know that I am
Cosy with the darker gods again

I'm not here
This can't be real
Maybe I'm asleep
Lost in a dream
It hurts so deep inside
And I don't know why
But it makes me want to cry

Too long before
Can't take much more
But there'll be more
There's always more
And I will never shine
To hurt your eyes
I'll never make you cry


TIMES LIKE THESE

In times like these you're gone
In times like these I am the one
Who's talking to a shadow on the wall
I pretend that you can hear me
I pretend that you're still there
And it only goes to show how far I've come

But the bubble bursts
And the pain returns
Like it all happened yesterday
Will it ever go away
But I can still feel you
Even so far away

In times like these you're gone
In times like these you are the one
Who told me you're in love with someone new
I know I should stop pretending
And it's not like I don't try
But old habits, you know they just don't die

And the heart it breaks
Sanity's at stake
Like it all happened yesterday
Will it ever go away
But I can still feel you
Even so far away



UNTIED

And it's your words that make me
Fall back on my feet
A cycle, never-ending
And there's a void that's opening
Where we used to meet
Now it's all pretending

And now here I am tongue-tied
Tongue-tied
There is not a word left inside
Cause all our strings have become
Untied

Think of the times our thoughts
Would bleed back into one
A vision, single-handed
Think of the lies we shared
We built this thing upon
So wrong, so wrong



WASTED MORNING

Do you know the sun is shining
Or are you still stuck in bed
Drowning in the darkness
Last night left inside your head
Can you move a finger
Or can’t feel a thing down to your feet
And if you open your eyes
Are you scared of what you might see

And you swear
That there never will be
Another wasted morning

Is your head exploding
Blood beating drums in each vein
And your mouth an endless desert
Without any hope for rain
Has memory turned to something
You’re not sure you ever had
And you know that right here right now
You’d be much better off dead

And you hear some kind of breathing
So close to your ear
Of someone right beside you
You never really wanted here
And you open your eyes
Take a glimpse at what you’ve done
Then shake your head at yourself
Promise this time was the last one
