Inside The City Of Glass 14. Wait Outside 01. Ghost Of The Sun Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
The thin darkness here
Not strong enough to make you appear I once changed my style When they said hello I said goodbye I once played a role I was out there marketing my soul The city of glass that I live in The coldness from my brothers skin I trusted you you lied It's all I hear a fucking lie I don't give a shit it's over now It's all I know you broke the vow Truth is I have seen it come Seen the ghost of the sun Can't have it undone In time we all call out for relief See two lovers meet Pass you on the street 02. Sleeper Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
O my your fever's high
I lay my hands upon you O my haven't you heard The truth is untrue Now I'm breathing I could not breathe until you did I'm one second after you Just a second after you Someone inside your room Who is it there behind you What does he want from you Sleeper what did you see I close the window to the street Parents died and left their child Unattented for a while Sleeper's song will you listen to me sing The bird is here I can see the edge of his wing If you die now how can I then live on Don't give up you must live on 03. Criminals Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
The way the light hits the road
The way I am unable to protect you Oh I'm running away I will never forgive myself For running away from you He came back to our house I didn't take it as a promise Always thought it was a lie He went too far the fucker It's not like I owe him money This is different So gather your strength and break free Or you will surely die Gather your strength don't follow me 'Cause I will surely die The way my eyes cannot move The way I hope to be protected And for one moment I thought That I was lost among the lights of houses My dreams of violence See them coming true 04. A Premonition Music by Fredrik Norrman, Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
Stand aside now no one will survive can't tell you how I know
In some time I will change my name and lay low In the light you can see me walk down by the way The one who did this to us well he got away Keep it quiet here I will not tolerate your noise This is where I listen for the forgiving voice It haunts my dreams 05. Will I Arrive Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
Bypassed the day I can hear them coming
They walk round my door and speak of their coming My trial awaits got nowhere to run My only words how soon you have come And I think about what you told me When I was about to join in Defy only if you have a way to resist the lies Decline only if you have the intention of taking this advice Apply only if you're not afraid to see your spirit die Retreat only if you dare not hear yourself say goodbye Who brought me here this place is familiar Where houses are black under the sun Strangers pass on streets with strange names All I can think is how soon they have come Look at me now they have cut my hair It's a long way back They kicked me down and I could not rise I will never arrive 06. Burn The Remembrance Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
Old light and new colours your picture hangs in the night
Is this the right time to set one free and go away In the emptiness behind you I will walk about Surely you'll miss me but long live the doubt What will replace us What will be our memory of this time Second hand impressions Hand them over so we can let it die I remember one time when we were abroad I was laughing at a book I had bought But you were standing against the hotel wall Frozen in an unknown thought 07. Wealth Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
Cool night gave my thruth for a lie
Will you be here when I try I'm not set cannot do it yet Will you be here when I try Our wealth breeds emptiness Another day to compress My lips are dry when you gave me drugs to try Hold me when I die The sky has frozen to a wall We die we all 08. One Year From Now Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
One year from now will I be strong
Will I stand up for what I've become Everything I have I will give you And everything I own I owe you One year from now dare I call you mine A year ahead from now it's a different time 09. Walking By A Wire Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
I could not breath against the wall
The clash of light against the floor They held me up against the wall Too young to be ignored Standing by a building Leaks out information Passive death of freedom gets me Where's my security Behind my back it goes Early morning's coming The risk that I am taking Recall a song that I heard as a child No more false immunity Inside the blistering cold My youth unknown to me I'm walking by a wire What's left for me to breathe Cold smell of fire One day I will be free I was born to be no one My youth unknown to me I walked behind the sun Emptiness within me Exit signs within me The one you're looking for is not here Had no security He will not come back 10. Complicity Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
I have no name my face a blur
I speak only to answer them White noise becomes a voice I hear it constantly I dare not break the circuit I rest only for a short time This time I promise I won't give up I have no right to let it go I have no right to do so My vision now is incomplete I am affected by the warmth A change of tone unusual sound Is this the time to decline They control the circuit The embodiment of what I've done If I waver from this circle A second pass and then I'm found But he who walks behind me He once saw the morning sun 11. Evidence Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
I hold my breath and check the time
One minute no collapse If you only knew what I would do for you One thirty breathing lapse We're going in my voice is thin When I tell you to remember That no one will find you My promise from the heart If we part my pulse will guide you through Be still for a moment Everything depends upon you If you die I will die too Once we were heroes But everything has changed since then Now they recognize you too I stay too long something's wrong You walk out of the picture I hold my breath and check the time One thirty I collapse We went in my voice was thin When I told you to remember I'm the evidence You passed the test and that's so good for you O love will you read the letters I will send to you Will I come along Will they let me out to take the test O love is the score enough for me to pass the test 12. Omerta Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
Come by you have come far
All I had I lost in the flood Come sit with me at the bar Tell me of progress strengthen my blood No one here knows my name I have traded my memories for things But I remember you clearly Do you remember that I used to sing Why have you waited so long Come by you have come far Long since I saw you so how have you been Come sit with me at the bar How long since they told you that they had found him No one here knows my name I gave up my worries for one good thing But I remember you clearly Do you remember that I used to sing Was it because I never told you I was going away That you waited so long Was it because your fucking dreams Meant nothing to me That you waited so long It runs from the top of my fingers Into my hands What is it I have been drinking I do not understand I thought I'd lost you my brother I'm so glad you came My regards to the ones that I love I miss them Tell them I love them I miss them 13. Inside The City Of Glass Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse
[Instrumental]
14. Wait Outside
I burned all the bridges behind me
Can't tell you the truth so I lie I'm waving at someone behind you I filter my eyes when I look to the sky Time to lose Tell them everything Say I lost my light Your word means everything I cannot say it right Time to lose Tell them everything Say I lost my light I withdrew Lost my everything My vision is unclear I burned all the bridges behind me Can't tell you the truth so I lie I'm waving at someone behind you I filter my eyes when I look to the sky Time to lose Tell them everything Say I lost my light Your word means everything I cannot say it right Time to lose Tell them everything Say I lost my light I withdrew Lost my everything My vision is unclear Wait for me outside Will you hold on Can you hold on I'm waving at someone behind you I filter my eyes when I look to the sky Time to lose Tell them everything Say I lost my light Your word means everything I cannot say it right Time to lose Tell them everything Say I lost my light I withdrew Lost my everything My vision is unclear |
