09. Losing Myself

Music by Dan Swanö
Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
Losing time
Counting hours
I'll never see myself again
And even though I'm alone I can't
Remember what I'm missing
So I leave it be

Closing down
I expect the hopelessness
And everything
And even though I'm alone
I can't remember what I'm missing
And that's all I need

I am lost
I feel I am sinking now
Like I was made of rain
Like a wave I roll into the endless night

I am not afraid
As the darkness starts
To make it's way
I breathe as hard as you
As I end my day
I sigh and shelter
As I try to sink that deep
As deep as you and make sure
That I won't fall asleep

Losing days
I Need no hours
I'll never be myself again
And eve though it's killing me
I can't remember what I am missing
So I leave it be.

I'm closing down
I expect the hopelessness again tonight
And even though it's killing me
I can't remember what I am missing
But it might be you

I am lost
I feel I am sinking now
Like I was made of rain
Like a wave I roll into the endless night

I am not afraid
As the darkness starts
To make it's way
I breathe as hard as you
As I end my day
I sigh and shelter
As I try to sink that deep
As deep as you and make sure
That I won't fall asleep

10. Better Safe Than Sorry

Music & lyrics by Dan Swanö
When I was young I thought the world around could see the vision through my eyes
Communicating through my melodies I knew the world would help me through
Then I grew up to find that all the dreams I had in mind required more then my gift
More of the pain than the pleasure

Better safe than sorry
And here I am losing everything again
I'll never have to worry about the game
I'll never win I'll never lose
I'm not playing at all
Never gamble at all

Many years ago I met the one, and all my dreams of angels faded away
I opened up and even let her in, to kill the enemy within
And even though she tried to keep her love for me alive
Oh it kills me to say, I let it wither away again

Better safe than sorry
And here I am losing everything again
I'll never have to worry about the game
I'll never win I'll never lose
Better safe than sorry
And here I am losing everything again
I'll never have to worry about the game
I'll never win I'll never lose
I'm not playing at all

Oh, that I'm lonely
Without someone by my side
I long for the only person in this world who's a part of me
I'm taking back of all the things I've been going through
You gave me strength to carry on
I'll do the best I can to make you want to be around
I really need you in my life

And maybe I was born to wander through this world alone
I left a good life behind where my heart beating night forever

Better safe than sorry
And here I am losing everything again
I'll never have to worry about the game
I'll never win I'll never lose
Better safe than sorry
And here I am losing everything again
I'll never have to worry about the game
I'll never win I'll never lose
I'm not playing at all
