We found our stepping stone
Over darkest hours We left no trace at home But saw our footprints ahead It was a dream stone Stardust would shine our way There was a beautiful vision that night All shades were bright With hope to catch the sight Of northern lights And touch a cooling star We watched the moonstones Swim in brightest colors Reached for horizons To touch the line that separates earth from sky Stardust would shine our way With hope to catch the sight of northern lights With hope to catch the sight Of northern lights And touch a cooling star 03. All You Are
I sit scared
Your eyes blend into me and then I take in the room Dark and cold, you are atmosphere I wonder who you are, where are you from? And I watch All that you are I want to hide How did I end up here alone? I sit scared I dart my eyes about pretending I don't care Time and place I embrace the sanity I'm wondering why am I still here? I lose the race Your eyes meet mine, a fleeting glimpse And I watch All that you are I want to hide How did I end up here alone? I've heard every word you have ever said, every story told And I watch all that you are I want to hide How did I end up here alone? I've heard every word you have said, every story told I lose the race Your eyes meet mine, a fleeting glimpse 04. The West Pole
As the late evening sun
Slides her way through copper clouds Golden leaves from autumn Play over a dusty breeze I slide my way through the empty park Weary eyes Your memory fades Like dust wake the shades The still night comes breaking in Dry raindrops on summer wind As the late evening sun Shines her way through aging sky Closing in on autumn As I watch the miracle Of seasons changing I saw the leaves die Your memory fades Like dust wake the shades The still night comes breaking in Dry raindrops on summer wind But I can still see you and I can still hear you You're spinning around in my head I can still hear you and I can still see you Tide is down I thought I heard the perfect note I thought I heard you call my name Your memory fades Like dust wake the shades The still night comes breaking in Dry raindrops on summer wind 05. No Bird Call
Once there were beautiful trees
Now there are concrete seas An eerie calm has befallen the land Cacophony of wonderful sounds Is replaced by a symphony of silence Fading letters of comforting words She never had time to say goodbye When there were beautiful trees She's been alone She's been alone for some time, now It's been a while Quite a while A miracle has befallen her land Cacophony of wonderful sounds Is replaced by silence She had it all What's left is there to fall 06. Capital Of Nowhere
Before the morning wakes
Night's gone up in flames Of the neon lights A siren calls my way Don't easily fade away In between the height Light travels through black winter skies Unravels pieces of the mind And slowly the heart opens Before the morning wakes Night's gone up in flames In the northern lights It's more than you can take To carry all the way I know you've tried Light travels through black winter skies Unravels pieces of the mind And slowly the heart opens I need, need I need your light Light travels through black winter skies Unravels pieces of the mind And slowly the heart opens I need, need I need your light 07. You Promised Me A Symphony
It is 1 P.M.
School bell's ringing My heart beats fast I better get on running She shouldn't be alone I should have been at home Your guns, your lies, your cigarettes, your war She kept us safe Our hearts were filled with fear Your prints left messy stains But who was there to clear? She shouldn't be alone I should have been at home My hope, my faith, your ignorance, your loss 08. Pale Traces
When did you loose your smile?
Were you walking all alone at night searching endlessly for a way to join the pieces of what you used to be? Let me hold you for a moment When did you loose your smile Was it all too much to take at once that suddenly you felt you had nothing left? The coldest winter can't freeze your heart one day you'll see that even the longest winter passes by that through the years I'd still give it all to hold you for a moment When did your dream fade out? Did it seem it wasn't worth it at all? Then I'll try another million ways to make you understand The coldest winter can't freeze your heart one day you'll see that I'd give it all to hold you, that even when all hope is gone I'd still give it all to hold you for a moment One day you'll see those heavy clouds will soon make way for brighter days One day you'll see I've been here for you all along and I will never let go of your hand One day you'll see... 09. No One Spoke
How did we get here?
Where is the silence? We need to breath in How can you sleep when war is all over? We are walking on fire We were sinking desire I am leaving my past You are changing at last Why did we go there? What were we thinking? We need to breathe out I need to break through 'cause war is all over Shiny hours seem far Seem so far away We are walking on fire We were sinking desire I am leaving my past You are changing at last We talked and talked but no one spoke We laughed and laughed but no one smiled 10. A Constant Run
He has a taste of anger
And it's oh so sweet He likes to make it linger And he pulls in every single string We get a warm welcome wrapped in frost He'll give her every little thing Sings the sweetest songs to me She is his favorite little thing You will be wandering through some beautiful moments I hear the bluebells ringing With touch of cooling winds His sore throat's screaming out of his angry mind These melodies of softest cream heal her skin He says we will be healing And it's oh so neat I shall repaint the picture And dye it into abstract art I need a cloud to jump on, somewhere to dream to pick my own sparkling sun Tunes of velvet, breaking in Into my heart on a constant run He can provide a safe place when thoughts get heavy He will be carrying them, oh all of them for you He will be poisoning her still growing mind These melodies of softest cream will heal her skin I'll try to catch the sun beams They'll be for you my girl Let shades away, be shining You are my brightest little pearl You will be his princess, in his land He'll give you every little thing Scented cherries of finest brand He'll do it all to make her cling |
