Caught on the Run
04:10
|
|||
Let's suppose that all i thought was wrong
let's suppose that's true
let's suppose that everything i touch
turns blue
let's suppose you really are a friend
let us just pretend
let's suppose you will want to see me
again
i dare you to find me
while i'm hidden between the peaks
the last thing i need now
is to wait seventeen more weeks
[chorus:]
caught on the run
away from the sun
caught on the run
am i the only one?
caught on the run
just me and my gun
caught on the run
i'm not the only one
let's suppose i'm never coming home
and let's suppose you care
let's suppose i'm making my new home
nowhere
let's suppose i didn't run away
let's say i got lost
let's propose a remedy,
no extra cost
will someone just tell me
how much louder do i have to be?
i'd blow my lungs out
just make sure that you heard me
[chorus:]
let's suppose that all i thought was wrong
let's suppose i'm never coming home
let's suppose that all i thought was wrong
let's suppose i'm never coming home

I Kid
03:36
|
|||
I was just joking
i kid when i'm around you
to hide the sickness
that keeps me bound
those were the times i
dreamed in colour
you spoke in riddles
i didn't bother
can't move
can't move
and when i gave up
bringing the laughter
you stopped appearing
i stopped soon after
i was just joking
i kid when i'm around you
to hide the sickness
that keeps me bound to you
can't move
can't move
i'm too tired
too much work
please just let me sleep
now
i'm too tired
too much work
please just let me sleep
i'll do it tomorrow

Supervillain
03:45
|
|||
I saw myself in you
all i can see now is darkness
the kind I find deep within me
I guess we're still not so different
I can't seem to find the reasons
why I'm stuck in a vicious cycle
should I keep my aimless searching
looking all around me
and it's written on your back
[chorus:]
"I will save the world"
"I will save the world"
"I will save the world"
for you
can you be my superhero
instead of just my supervillain
you may be the spawn of evil
but I can't help wanting you
I will stop my faithless wonder
why'd you want to keep me captive
this is where I'll remain sitting
waiting for a signal
and it's written on your back
[chorus:]
my sky is empty but I'll still be
holding on to you
if you're the ruler of my world
what else could you want
all this doubt I'm wallowed in
has left me in distress
and it's written on your back
[chorus:]
and you can save my world
you can save my world
you can save my world
if you just hold me too

Post Scriptum
03:58
|
|||
Something left unsaid
it's covering up inside
those words within my mind
so many words in my head
and you can't hear them all
in a land where loving stands
as something sad as grief
in this social claustrophobia
i'll remember you
is anyone forgettable
until they say their name out loud
so they can give just what they take
there's something else to say
these words i cannot hide
but i just can't seem to find
i know they must be in my heart
while living in the dark
they're tearing me apart
[chorus:]
and i can't wait for better
while i'm lonely you know why
'cause i can't hand out the letter
to you
there's something left unsaid
everyone has their share
of thoughts sealed in their heads
and when they get to speak out loud
the words take another feel
when surrounded by surrender
i will see right through
all the sorrow that tomorrow
comes for me, not you
i'll give you all my innocence
as long as you deny
that our feelings will soon die
[chorus:]

Lifelike
03:55
|
|||
I take pictures of the sky
for the world is so empty
i'd climb further to the stars
where no one can forget me
the ideal of the mind
it can't last forever
all utopias subside
'cause history knows better
we shook our hands
enjoyed the show
stayed together in the afterglow
but this i know
it gave me hope
it was a paradise
the stars aligned
and brought two months
we never were apart
my whole world felt as lifelike as a dream
no stars
two months
was all it took for us to fade apart
as lifelike as a half remembered dream
a wall of tears
a cyanide pillar
time the healer becomes
time the killer
the world hasn't ended
like it was supposed to
so i go on searching
for somewhere to return to
i'm feeling tired
i can't let go
i may be caught in the undertow
but this i know
i just can't cope
was not a paradise
the stars aligned
and brought two months
we never were apart
my whole world felt as lifelike as a dream
no stars
two months
was all it took for us to fade apart
as lifelike as a half remembered dream

Scapegoat
03:27
|
|||
Throwing the blame
pitching the demons
from inside the game
hoping they land over me
yet i'm surprised
i'm always the scapegoat
prancing in the fields
pastures and mountains of gold
my mind said
my mind said
my mind said
my mind said
i'll swallow you whole
nonsensical
words spat at my face
not chemical
just a reaction to guilt
horns stuck in rock
hooves sunk in quicksand
stray baphomet
lost on his way back to hell
my mind said
my mind said
my mind said
my mind said
i'll swallow you whole

The Point
05:19
|
|||
If every small piece has its place
don't let this fragment go to waste
and disappear without a trace
into air
i dare to step out from the shell
so many times i cannot tell
ends always in a long farewell
and goodnight
give me money or let me be
i want some money to set me free
and i learned to read between the line
i became too numb to join the fight
so what's the point of it all?
my fortune was rigged from the start
all i can do is play the part
what you call sorrow, i call art
take a bow
and give me money or let me be
i want some money to set me free
and i hoped these walls were built to last
i forgot all bliss stays in the past
so what's the point?
give me a reason
show me some purpose
go waving your white flags
until the pin drops
how can i wait for something
when all i get means nothing?
are we not all lost?
so what's the point?
what's the point?
what's the point of it all?

Alicerces
04:12
|
|||
Suporte do fulgor
de versos deslumbrantes
terreno acidentado
esconde desfiladeiros
fecha-se o ser
quando o léxico falha
perdido outra vez
nos labirintos do tempo
[chorus:]
então, então
derrubaram os meus alicerces
acerta devagar
o meu olhar volátil
abranda o pesar
que a dormência desperta
o brilho é fugaz
por muito que cante
invólucro atroz
rodeia os meus dias
[chorus:]
sem lembrar
sem fugir
sem entrar
[chorus:]
é peça de museu
algo inalcançável
subir ao pedestal
por escadas infinitas

I feel my heart
confiscated
you hid it deep
inside your fortress
you have destroyed
fantastical
kingdoms
our kingdoms
[chorus:]
i found the sun behind the moon
i flicked the stars again too soon
i saw the world behind your eyes
it wasn't bright, it brought me doom
everything you are
everything i see
i wish you'd be
everything to me
but we're the sun and moon
so far apart
you live in me
through the pages
specks of light
arranged in faces
going nowhere
but going backwards
getting there fast
we're getting there fast
[chorus:]
everything you are
everything i see
i wish you'd be
everything to me
but we're the sun and moon
so far apart
i wish we'd be
back at the start

Birds of Excuse
04:06
|
|||
The birds
they sing
the rain
will bring
a pause to eyes
a cloak to the skies
two moons
decay
a bird
of prey
will always kill
to feed the thrill
whoever sleeps too soon
will hear a different tune
wings flap with all their might
and lonesome they take flight
without
within
beyond
begin
to feel alone
birds have flown
always failed to see the flock
see the aerial pride
maybe the lone needs less feathers
to glide
always failed to see the clouds
until the sky turned bright
wings may be tarnished, broken
still lonesome they take flight
