You said that simple thing
I’m sorry I couldn’t be everything
It’s a sad story now
And I’m at fault
Going my own way isn’t easy
I’ve found a new place in my heart
Tell me what you really mean
I won’t be afraid of what’s unseen
Seeing you here in my room makes me wonder why
Your angelic presence came twice
My woman’s not a knife but she cuts through my life
Tell me what you really
I won’t be afraid of what’s unseen

Modern Art
03:53

I’ve got no alibi
No reason to cry today
I'll be a long while
I’ve got some important things to do, to say.
I’m going away, to see the whole wide world
When I'm back again
I'll tell all your friends we're together
And all at last I have found the pieces of my broken heart
Strewn on the table like some modern art
Now im going around again
Taking a survey of all the pretty people around me
You seem to care about my little insecurities, why oh why?
When I call you out to meet for a brunch, you come right by
I've seen better places, better faces and better times
And all at last I have found the pieces of my broken heart
Strewn on the table like some modern art
Now I'm going around again
Taking a survey of all the pretty people around me

Northern State
03:07
|

|
I’m coming down the mountain again
But the trees are no where to be seen
Fires burning up this native land
And the smoke is choking all the green
What have we done now?
There’s CO2 and poison gas
The worlds burning up all over
And we just keep on keeping on
We just keep on keeping on
Life is just a memory
Fading out in sympathy
Every summer I return to you
And I look for the better days ahead
When this land is calmer, we can grow older
We’ll build a house on our native land
We’ll protect our ancestral band
Life is just a memory
Fading out in sympathy
This whole country’s a joke
Not even worth a second toke
When we figure out, what it means to be
A northern state under decree
From the rich, wealthy and free
And we just keep on keeping on
We just keep on keeping
Life is just a memory
Fading out in sympathy

Good Place
03:29
|

|
I hear the particle on your face
It screams for joy in tow, pull from this place
We are the wounded folk, everlasting
In this immortal cloak, I am a ghost, I am
Waiting for our worlds to collide
We are inside you, inside us
I’m checking if there’s space in the universe
And I’m done with lies, I won’t be hypnotized again
I’ve seen wounded soldiers, so what
They left their bodies broken, smoking
Now I will go to join them
No reason why I run to die so soon
Waiting for our worlds to collide
We are inside you, inside us
I’m checking if there’s space in the universe
And I’m done with lies, won’t be hypnotized again
Birds will be singing sweet songs,
About the battles fought
I’m in a good place now, don’t worry
This is a goodbye for now

Seething
03:47
|

|
The asphalt lining is interspace twining
I seem to be back again
Driving on those black bends
It’s killing me, and my friends
This concrete jungle is categorically funded by war
And the deeds of all the men
The goals, the reasons from them
We are past our due date now
Fleeting, building, to nothing
Seething, at the sight of it all
Though I’m at odds, I see it’s more even than God
Even He couldn’t quite see this
That I, am alone in the weight of
I, am alone in the weight of it all
Fleeting, building, to nothing
Seething, at the sight of it all
At the sight of it all
At the sight of it

Wednesday
03:31
|

Pull out my soul, grasp it all at once
From here to there, we’ve seen the bounty now
Ash will fall, but only if we leave
Our forefathers to their own devices
Man made machine is questioning our choice
It wants to believe, but we won’t let it voice
We’re going on Wednesday now
And our spirits are linked by the mouth
When you open the door to me
I come bearing gifts from the south
I am in your debt, you gave me everything
Sworn by blood, we will bind with rings
You could hold me tight and whisper through the night
But I’ll never leave, as long as you believe
We’re going on Wednesday now
And our spirits are linked by the mouth
When you open the door to me
I come bearing gifts from the south
I come bearing gifts from my mouth

You told me I was grey
You said you were a colour
You mentioned we could go
Forever through the snow
You’ve picked the apple tree
And found that it was rotten
I’ve tasted fruit before
It never was a bore
I will wait for you here
Through the rose hipped bushes you look positively clear
And I will see you ‘till the end of our years
With you here
It’s gonna be a while ‘till our friendship breaks apart
And with the new dawning there’s a love that wants to start
I’m seeing double mirrors reflecting their true light
Inside of every apple is the core of every night
I will wait for you here
Through the rose hipped bushes you look positively clear
And I will see you ‘till the end of our years
With you here
With you here
With you here

Sheep
03:03
|

|
What am I supposed to do?
You’re counting all your sheep
I’m not listening
To you
To you
Anyone else can know the difference,
Of all the place and times we erased
It makes no difference
To me
To me
I’m not awake anymore
With you
With you

Gasoline Love
03:10

|
Give me all you got and don’t hold back when I’m in your arms
I’ve reached the end of my track, so don’t hold back when I’m in your arms
We’ve come too close, we’re touching the sun
I don’t know how much longer I can stay
With you here
We’re basically a room to be cleared
Empty inside, but full of gasoline love
We like to catch up on nights
When theres no one around
I’m watching your face
You seem to follow my laugh
And it echos until sunrise
We’ve come too close, we’re touching the sun
I don’t know how much longer I can stay
With you here
We’re basically a room to be cleared
With you here
We’re basically a room to be cleared
Empty inside, but full of gasoline love

Downfall
04:19

|
Pick up all your things, I don’t want to see them
Close the door behind you, say goodnight or something
I don’t want to be a part of this
Something’s not right in the back of my mind
Take your hands off my back
I need some slack, some to room to breath
Find another soul to squeeze, just say please
You’ll get what you deserve
Life is so much better since you’ve gone
Now I have the time to analyze our downfall
You always knew that actions speak louder then words
So it’s done, we’re gone, and we’re not going back
I don’t want to be a part of this
Something’s not right in the back of my mind
Take your hands off my back
I need some slack, some to room to breath
Find another soul to squeeze, just say please
You’ll get what you deserve
