Shortest Day 04:40
He's in a rush run He has to hurry dash He's in a rat race Never at a slow pace Forever dangerous And never serious Up on your energy Expect no sympathy Appreciation is overrated Resting is for fools He wants his blood boil Always in turmoil Blasting his every way Throughout the shortest day Forever dangerous And never serious Swimming against the stream And steal all of your dreams Aggravation is appreciated He'll use you like a tool Association is overrated Friends are for fools He's in a rush Fever round his eyes I do not dare and cross him He'll smooch you with his lies Ever so dangerous He'll haunt you seriously I wouldn't go within a mile radius of him

In Between 04:34
We ride along the great riverside Ever so wide The giver of clarity She will be wise enough To make us understand The moment we reach heavenly land Heavenly, heavenly We focus on We follow faithfully Faithfully, faithfully Slowly and surely we'll find our way [Chorus:] The ever present unexpected life is All that we wanted And all that we choose to lead We will rise and fall And all the chances in between I try to move you to open up your mind These barren city grounds Make you never look behind You'll be wise enough And you will understand The moment you reach heavenly land Strong winds on desert ground Release the tendency And hold it like a cloud Enlightened and breezy Hence the strain it brings If only we understand Strong winds on desert ground Foresee our lives

Liberty Bell 05:29
No brainwaves or activity while the craft is in the air It's getting dark, it's getting light we are sitting in a chair We have fastened every belt we cannot float out of our seats It's so enormously frightening When our tail reaches superheat Another timezone a change of season it is turning dark again We're getting ready for yet another orbit around our planet It is time for the galactic cruise To come to an end One last view on the world and the time we have spend

I might be moving to the east to part my ways And I will try to get something I don't have yet If I do, I will look at it for days and days Untill I will never forget I have heard this mental search has made them all take a look along the border Having the urge For their minds to be lifted to something new I'm running to meet my higher self I trust the speed Untill I have no need to run anymore Miles and miles I run I hear my feet And I hear myself breathe heavily I trust the speed Untill I have no need To run anymore Miles and miles I run

You think you were earning Burning the church of your god You were yearning Learning the birth of your dirt Did you think you earned it Burning your god That you thought messed up your life? You spill red On my cloudy carpet You think you were earning Burning the church of your god You were yearning Learning the birth of your dirt Did you think you earned it Burning your god That you thought messed up your life? You spill red On my cloudy carpet Your skin turns dust On my cloudy carpet You think You were earning Burning Your skin turns dust No more you were yearning Burning Burning Your skin turns dust Your skin turns to dust When holding it close to the sun And it burns the skin from you're your precious sun It burns the skin It burns the skin It burns the skin

Saturnine 04:24
The day you went away You had to screw me over I guess you didn't know all the stuff you left me with is way too much to handle But I guess you don't care You don't need to preach you don't have to love me, all the time Whatever on earth possessed you to make this bold decision I guess you don't need me While whispering those words I cried like a baby hoping you would care You don't need to preach you don't have to love me, all the time You don't have to preach all the time
7.
Monsters 05:32
All you need all you need All you need Is all is now All you need all you need All you need Is not what you're getting All you live all you give All you live Fits in a teardrop If you come closer I'll show you how it feels All you need all you need All you need Is all is now All you live all you give All you live Fits in a teardrop Give what's worth remembering Give what's worth dying Give it al Oh, back for more You just give it all Oh, back for more If you come closer I'll show you how it feels High is high Low is low Love is gone The best ones are the first to If you come closer I'll show you how it feels High is high Low is low Love is gone

Alone 04:47
Now you see me getting better I'm right here on display And i'll make it a bit heavier By going all the way Did you find it much easier So stoop to where I was With your power and your knowledge To leave me here Alone... I'm all alone Now's the time for being humble By holding you down on your knees I suspect you'll stay there and crumble Rather so then to be alone Do you believe your heart? Trying in all around to find to find your way back inside I will be there For you to care And you will find Peace of mind
9.
I feel it slip Slip away From my hands All the way My heart pounds like mad I feel it slip Slip away Why am I? Why am I here? So distant from My old life My heart feels so sad What am I doing here? Doing here You see I'm riding endlessly What will become of me This higher power knows You see I'm waiting patiently And what this means to me Nobody ever knows You see In all the warmth I feel Is this the end of me? Only I should know
10.
Leaves 05:41
I close your eyes with my mouth now you don't see anything but you feel my breath all over I can feel you too although I don't really know you I don't really care cry with me, make my day tomorrow all will be gone all the sweetness and all the fun no, I don't wanna know... although I don't really know you I don't really care now that you're gone I don't know how to really feel inside baring the hope to see you again I guess i never will now that I do really know you yes, I really care!

Eleanor 06:42
underneath the mask you've buried yourself into it's coal-black I am tired of the gulping that you do every day a new face what if I unscrew your own identity wouldn't you guess there's nothing left of you? the quicksand of life drags us down into the circle one day, we might not catch you I feel sorry for what you try to do breaking others down. to try and to pursue your own selfish interests I am starting to get sick of you whatever happened ever since you left you make yourself and me look like fools
12.
kill me with your thoughts use your mind hand me over to this world into death... make me cry in vain leave one tear touch my face with your sigh leave me against the stream one hundred worlds will see me passing by...

Waking Hour 06:01
The eyes are made to see They see the path of our lives The heart is there to feel It feels the energy of our time I can see it I can feel it This is my waking hour This is my place I can hear it I feel the power in my heart And it's my moment It is right there And it's staring me in the face Disguise and make-believe I see the end of all demise The only way to heal Is in the honesty of your eyes I can see it I can feel it This is my waking hour This is my place I can hear it I feel the power in my Heart And its my moment It is right there Staring me in the face The fight is done And who are we To judge what will become All the iron armour is laid down away Followed by the heroes Who belong on rested earth We pray, We feel the rescue coming near Within the walking soul to hear We sense the calm all wrapped in fear And all the while we heed The senses way too vast to see We beg of you to not let go Our names will provide us with a soul I can feel it Falling down Start again Life can bring you down The monumental truth Of elegance in you Falling for A part of who you are And makes you shine inside

The frost hits me in the eyes and wakes me these are blury winters and I cannot see I walk into the white light of the snow when the sun comes I break it with my shadow which tales me where I go The frost hits me in the eye and wakes me I am the snow falling down on you I tear up your face with my frost And make you run to somewhere warm When I come I see you get away I burst out about your emptiness The frost hits me in the eye and wakes me these are blurry winters and I cannot see
15.
It has always been in the back of my mind Dreaming about going to the corners of time I always wanted to fly in strange machines I wanna do centuries in a lifetime And feel it with my hands Touch the world war II and Cleopatra Flying... Could it be that my dream would come true Building a machine that would actually do What I want it to do Russian revolution, let's do that in one day Beethoven and Gershwin I think that would be o.k. More than anything I wanna fly in strange machines I wanna do centuries in a lifetime And see it with my eyes Watch Jesus rise, if he ever did Flying... I wanna do centuries in a lifetime And feel it with my hands Touch renaissance and Chaka Khan Flying...

Adrenaline 04:34
What makes you forget is the structure You're in, all your life Can't you feel there is the animal inside Growing roots, still, inside your mind Suppress your underbeing and let them rule You don't care, yeah you don't give a damn As long as you've got your car Do you actually go so far, as giving in your Adrenaline away
17.
Third Chance 04:58
Fear and sweat, my muscles ache I smile but it's just a fake I fade away it troubles me, what you're gonna say just a day away and you will be here to stay I wait and I wait and what i really hate is the panic that stops me from breathing my knees hit the floor and I panic more until you open my door

Blaming global infection for the illness in him Little knowledge of the non-affection between him and his kin Old, grey, bitter, anxious and collapsed Like a wallflower once blooming Withered to apparent death Blaming the guilt Crying the tears Torture the pain Leaving the emptiness behind Apparently he had no reason To harbour the trust He'd forsaken inside. Apparently he left his reasons Forsaken the trust that harboured within Walk, I cannot walk For I am blind, blinded I am By the pitch of dark, so dark is it The narrow street, never ending narrow Clogs my throat Silently I try, Try to walk, blinded by the pitch The narrow darkness, clogs the street I am speechless I am speechless Fear puts a rush on my steps As I stare into the spinning depth The end is not near the sight that I am hoping for And all the light that paves the way for me Is the wish and will for the end to see The bright light is the end of the black light district
19.
Travel 09:43
Melodic stanzas are symphonizing their way through your weary head To feed your distrust And fill its mouth with the desire to soulfully be one with your creation Not a subject to control you call upon a higher power for help and inspiration The crowd waits and turns their faces towards you expectantly you give them what they need But their useless criticism makes you die a bit more inside Not a subject to control you call upon a higher power for help and inspiration Oh, I swoon while loudspeakers play soft music Leaning over your fortieth masterpiece You must have loved the colour of these violins I wish I knew you Your fit of insanity makes me sad I wish you knew your music was to stay forever And I hope... I have no clue if you know how much it matters And I hope...
