Overture

|
At times it’s good to be surprised
So fortune tellers all must die
You wouldn’t want them to decide
It takes a lifetime to get through
The generation subterfuge
You wouldn’t care less than I do
I couldn’t care less than I do

No Guidance
03:38
|
|||
|
The sovereign is up to break
A civilized era to pieces
Now the fear is guiding the hands
Of the coward
It doesn’t really shape up well
It’s not even written in the stars
Like a guidance provided for then
Now or later
Is it weighing on your head
Like it’s someone else’s mind
Floating in a world of quicksand
Nothing is written in the stars
And the sacred can just go fuck itself
For the record

It’s strange
How you’ve grown old
Before you rearrange
The story told
Is there a way
That you could ever let it
Unknown
It’s true
You never had it all
No wonder marble-hearted
Folks overcome
But who’d want to sell
“I don’t believe it myself”
Oh no
You don’t stand a chance at all
You don’t stand a chance at all
It’s way too long
It’s way too faded
It’s way too far
It’s way too complicated
You don’t stand a chance at all
You don’t stand a chance at all

Fingers Crossed
02:38
|
|||
|
The portrait is dull and inaccurate
The vision won’t match with the whole
Tomorrow has failed to return the favour
And all that we’re left with is borrowed from the old
There’s poison in almost anything
It’s rusting the core of your soul
Your fingers crossed
But your hands are tied
What makes you think you can walk away at all

The Trap
03:53
|
|||
|
Everything comes and returns to us
It's a trap, it's a con
It's a motherfucking bother
That circles around
In a strange world
Still a long long long way to go
Was there something else to remember ?
Ever since it was your turn to act
You decided to opt for a pretty solid never
Your faith to the ground
Of this strange world
Still a long long long way to go
Was there something else to remember ?
Everything comes and returns to us
Now it's time to decide which one bothers
For the others
Asleep safe and sound
In a strange world
Still a long long long way to go
Was there something else to remember ?
Was there something else you remember ?

5 Seconds

How many stars have you been counting
There has been just one missing today
It only takes 5 or less seconds
Then you’re blown away
What was the tale you kept on reading
The one that would make no sense at all
The one with the girl who could see things
And the boy who don’t
Lost in the maze of a dream
Lost between evening and dawn
What was the song you went on playing
The one that had no lyrics at all
The one you’ll forget in 5 seconds
Yeah it’s gone
Lost in the maze of your dream
Lost in the deafening sound
Lost in the waves on the sea
Lost in the chills down your spine
Lost in the front of the scene

My Mistake
06:56

This eye is alone
But it’s trained to be wise
When the sirens are gone
It will leave with no sigh
It might as well be blind
An alien horizon
And you’re free to decide
You can sail all you want
But you’re not coming back
Cos his story’s a lie
The ocean’s a blamer for all of your kind
And the lines on the map
Could show nothing more
Than they already have
There is no land in sight
The signals we captured made us stray around
Some answers were meant not to be ever found
And we’ll fire the captain as soon as we drown
And when the chapter is over, release the next one
And when the story is over, we’ll leave with no sigh

Noble Reasons
04:42
|

You could build some legend, write heroes songs
Retell the story to suit you from now on
Keep your noble reasons , your hollow heart
The childish voices, whispering in the dark
Boy your head is nowhere near where it should start
There’s this twenty something teenage boy
Hooked up deadly on rock’n, rock’n’roll
He’s been left connecting the dots alone
One number’s missing, the picture’s still undrawn
Boy your head is nowhere, near where you should start
You wanna have it all and you can have it all
It’s like a lesson learned, it’s gotta teach you something
You wanna have it all and you can have it all
You know the times are trying
…
You wanna have it all and you can have it all
It’s like a lesson learned, it’s gotta teach you something
You wanna have it all and you can have it all
You know the times are trying
You wanna have it all and you will have it all
And if you feel unheard, that’s just got to mean something
You wanna have it all, yeah you will have it all
And every time you’re trying

Eternal Ravings

Eternal ravings
I’ve been dying to find out
Am I hallucinating or what
Nature’s calling
Without a shadow of a doubt
You can feel it pushing its jaws
Who says we’re the hopeless ones
Well we’re not
Your saviour’s running
He must have given up
Now he’s back to ashes and rust
Nations rising
And then falling down
You can almost hear’em go “Bam!”
Who says we’re the hopeless ones
Well we’re not
Nature is calling
Without a shadow of a doubt
You can feel it pushing its claws
Eternal ravings
I’ve been dying to find out
Is there a modus to all this or what

Nothing comes out of nowhere
You keep repeating to yourself
We’re out of luck and missing occasions
Our worried thoughts caused random decisions
Again
Drifting in and out of consciousness
Do you remember anything
Who’s dealing with too much information
Who’s feeling without any sensation
Again
Who’s dealing with too much information
Who’s feeling without any sensation
Again

Merry-Go-Round
03:13

Sweetness and light
Where are you hiding ?
You play fast and loose
In a manner of speaking
I forgot what it's like to be breathing
Got to learn it from start again
And over again
We got stuck in our pride
With a list of excuses
And this merry go round
Isn't stopping
Merry Go Round
What's the point turning ?
You'll end when you thought
You were just beginning
I forgot what the song was saying
Got to learn it from start again
again and again
