Yearning Kids
Your sweetness, your melancholy
You write all the time cause you’re sad
Your pessimism, your optimism
You cry all the time cause you’re mad
Your questions, your answers
Your pry all the time cause you can
Your grandeur, your self-esteem
You’re nameless, persistent, curious and not mine
And I’m impressed by the yearning kids of today
Your acceptance, your denials
You talk all the time cause you can
Your bird wings, your illusions
You dream every night and in the day too
You could thrive and fly away and never come home to me...
You write all the time cause you’re sad
Your pessimism, your optimism
You cry all the time cause you’re mad
Your questions, your answers
Your pry all the time cause you can
Your grandeur, your self-esteem
You’re nameless, persistent, curious and not mine
And I’m impressed by the yearning kids of today
Your acceptance, your denials
You talk all the time cause you can
Your bird wings, your illusions
You dream every night and in the day too
You could thrive and fly away and never come home to me...

Someone To Blame
I know it doesn’t work on me
I’ll never forgive you for the bruises in my heart
I guess now it’s open though it’s closed
The store where I used to spend my days
My blood is sure runs so slow
And the amount of pain is so high that it can’t scar
It might stay with me forever
Just to remind me of how wrong I used to be
The ghosts are delighted to be dead
The time you wasted was nothing more than that
There is no need to scar this wound
If you think it’s better to be reminded of how
Wrong you used to be
My pain it sure stays so...
I’ll never forgive you for the bruises in my heart
I guess now it’s open though it’s closed
The store where I used to spend my days
My blood is sure runs so slow
And the amount of pain is so high that it can’t scar
It might stay with me forever
Just to remind me of how wrong I used to be
The ghosts are delighted to be dead
The time you wasted was nothing more than that
There is no need to scar this wound
If you think it’s better to be reminded of how
Wrong you used to be
My pain it sure stays so...

Javelin
Had to carry you all the way
Had to carry to the end
I can't regret what I can't control
But somehow I find a way to do it
Now I'm loathing, now I'm loathing
Hanging only from the soffit
Hanging only from a ledge
I can't control what I can't regret
But this lonely place is getting old
And I'm leaving, now I'm leaving
(Every sigh a break, every sign a wave
Show me how your myriads break
Every cry a lane, every tear will gray
Show me how your myriads fade)
We're just another one that hits
We're just a couple of bits...
Had to carry to the end
I can't regret what I can't control
But somehow I find a way to do it
Now I'm loathing, now I'm loathing
Hanging only from the soffit
Hanging only from a ledge
I can't control what I can't regret
But this lonely place is getting old
And I'm leaving, now I'm leaving
(Every sigh a break, every sign a wave
Show me how your myriads break
Every cry a lane, every tear will gray
Show me how your myriads fade)
We're just another one that hits
We're just a couple of bits...

February/The Night We Sailed
Your friends, your letters
They can't be returned
And trust me when I say
You'll never make me better
Your bones, this weather
They won't ever change
And though I will resist, I'll be
Stripped down to wet leather
Sally, set me alive
I'm standing on glass
And I feel like dying
Sally, sail this night
Your winds, your calls
It's the night we sailed
And you'll hold a lighthouse
And wither as it grows
Higher pitch, the funny way we fell
We couldn't stop ourselves
Our skin and muscles entwined ...
They can't be returned
And trust me when I say
You'll never make me better
Your bones, this weather
They won't ever change
And though I will resist, I'll be
Stripped down to wet leather
Sally, set me alive
I'm standing on glass
And I feel like dying
Sally, sail this night
Your winds, your calls
It's the night we sailed
And you'll hold a lighthouse
And wither as it grows
Higher pitch, the funny way we fell
We couldn't stop ourselves
Our skin and muscles entwined ...

Lines Between Days
Ghost downswing, where I'll find me
Cause I don't where I will be tonight
Or tomorrow when things are different
I'd give away everything I got to be with her right now
I'd do anything to see the lines between days that keep us apart
What wouldn't I give away to hold you and chain you to where you belong?
I'd never let you go, I'd never let you go
Spirits realign, where is this going
Wherever I'm floating to tonight
Or tomorrow when things are not the same
Deathly sorrow, why am I this?
These echoes are tone grey tonight
Or in the...
Cause I don't where I will be tonight
Or tomorrow when things are different
I'd give away everything I got to be with her right now
I'd do anything to see the lines between days that keep us apart
What wouldn't I give away to hold you and chain you to where you belong?
I'd never let you go, I'd never let you go
Spirits realign, where is this going

What I Expected From You
Now there's no one to hear my words
And I've never really spoke too much
The waters they now cast out
My mouth from now on will be closed
Hope you didn't forget about my gifts
They were sent with too many care
I tried to make sure I wouldn't come out hurt
But life can be a bitch and so can you
My guts are pressing down on me
I can't stand this pain
Please just stop, dear god, stop this now
I can't stand this pain
You're gonna make me, you're gonna make me
Two hours now seem more like three
You'll never be the one for me...
And I've never really spoke too much
The waters they now cast out
My mouth from now on will be closed
Hope you didn't forget about my gifts
They were sent with too many care
I tried to make sure I wouldn't come out hurt
But life can be a bitch and so can you
My guts are pressing down on me
I can't stand this pain
Please just stop, dear god, stop this now
I can't stand this pain
You're gonna make me, you're gonna make me
Two hours now seem more like three
You'll never be the one for me...

The Trail
You float into people's heads
Because people will not like you
Because it's human nature
For you to be my shallow grave
Despair and rage, I love today
Hold em down as I keep rising up
Defiant lover, I've met you before
Defiant lover, I've felt your war
Defiant lover, I've seen you around
Defiant lover, I've seen you astound
I've seen the light, I know I have
When all is ending just like it began
I'm gonna show you around so you get to know this place
I'm gonna show you around so you get to know this mess
The trails of...
Because people will not like you
Because it's human nature
For you to be my shallow grave
Despair and rage, I love today
Hold em down as I keep rising up
Defiant lover, I've met you before
Defiant lover, I've felt your war
Defiant lover, I've seen you around
Defiant lover, I've seen you astound
I've seen the light, I know I have
When all is ending just like it began
I'm gonna show you around so you get to know this place
I'm gonna show you around so you get to know this mess

Green Lights
I sat outside and didn't care about the weather
The world was over and so was I
No birds flew over me, just like every other day
All I ever wanted was to get better
I know it's hard but I've waited too long
To get her
Broken hearted and a bit sad
Nothing can be this bad
I've been told that a heart can't be mend
But there's always love to lend
But there's always love for you
I knew that you'd go away sooner or later
Nothing worked, why should we?
The signpost's reflecting lights crash on
Green light means go and get her
I...
The world was over and so was I

Violet
I drink the rain when I'm cold
We're not that far from the core
We don't look like we did before
Back when I could act bold
I can't argue with a stone wall
And I can barely hold on, dear
I'm far when I should be here
And no, you can't have it all
Violet, close your eyes and just turn the lights off and dream
Let the bad things go back to where they've been
Cause the snow won't fade from here to there
The snow won't fade from here
Violet, all your fears float adrift in the lonely frosty sea
Don't let the bad things take...
We're not that far from the core
We don't look like we did before
Back when I could act bold
I can't argue with a stone wall
And I can barely hold on, dear
I'm far when I should be here
And no, you can't have it all
Violet, close your eyes and just turn the lights off and dream
Let the bad things go back to where they've been
Cause the snow won't fade from here to there
The snow won't fade from here
Violet, all your fears float adrift in the lonely frosty sea
Don't let the bad things take...

Swedish June
(I made the wrong call and this is the result)
In this cold Swedish June, I crumble
I'm not ready to walk out the door
You said "Fuck this city, let's go...
"But you gotta be ready for what's to come"
So we went on our way, without regrets
How many times does it take to care about loss?
It doesn't really matter anymore, my dear
This is as good as it gets
If I could, I'd burn the stone you're laying on
If I could, I'd stop the turning wheels in motion
But is this how I am destroyed?
Left the room, left you alone ...
In this cold Swedish June, I crumble
I'm not ready to walk out the door
You said "Fuck this city, let's go...
"But you gotta be ready for what's to come"
So we went on our way, without regrets
How many times does it take to care about loss?
It doesn't really matter anymore, my dear
This is as good as it gets
If I could, I'd burn the stone you're laying on
If I could, I'd stop the turning wheels in motion
But is this how I am destroyed?
Left the room, left you alone ...

Blue Velvet Margaret
Margaret, I've known you for a long time...
I am following your pulpit, or should I say culprit?
It reminds me I'm alive, even if it's a lie
And the green spots I walk on, seem to move on
And the merry blue velvet, melts and melts
They're just sheets, can't you see them?
They're just bells, can't you hear them?
They're just screams, why can't you feel me?
Walking on glass, in the other side it will pass
I thought you were married, or should I say buried?
Better things must come, I'm sure that they will come
Hanging hand in hand right...
I am following your pulpit, or should I say culprit?
It reminds me I'm alive, even if it's a lie
And the green spots I walk on, seem to move on
And the merry blue velvet, melts and melts
They're just sheets, can't you see them?
They're just bells, can't you hear them?
They're just screams, why can't you feel me?
Walking on glass, in the other side it will pass
I thought you were married, or should I say buried?
Better things must come, I'm sure that they will come
Hanging hand in hand right...

Technicolor Blues
Died a young girl, technicolor blues
Had a broken heart with no use
Kept me waiting at the front door
Wish I had known her more
Lived not so long, unmapping gloom
Had a fortress in a crooked room
And the white lonely settler
Wouldn't let me near her
It's an oddity, but she smiled
Had another one of em in mind
Touched her arm and got a burn
Guess this is what I've earned
Died a young girl, technicolor blues
Died a young girl, technicolor blues
Had a broken heart with no use
Kept me waiting at the front door
Wish I had known her more
Lived not so long, unmapping gloom
Had a fortress in a crooked room
And the white lonely settler
Wouldn't let me near her
It's an oddity, but she smiled
Had another one of em in mind
Touched her arm and got a burn
Guess this is what I've earned
Died a young girl, technicolor blues
Died a young girl, technicolor blues
