premonition
03:36
|
|||
at last, that fateful day
the lights go down, the curtain's drawn, this life's a stage
it's my charade
too fast, that ghostly shape
it comes and goes like rising smoke it starts to fade

floater

roamer, where do you come from?
floater, you've got your head up above
but how close can you be?
just visiting the feeling that you seek, envisioning
dreamer, are you a lost cause?
schemer, you got some dirt on your paws
let the river wash you clean
let the boat rock you to sleep
and when you dream do you witness the void or can you see?
wide awake clinging to a voice, a constant stream
shimmering ripples fall from behind
an echo into the back of your mind
from the base you started to climb to the lofty peak of the shrine
open my inspiration
golden just like the rays of the sun
but the sun don't always shine
still afraid of what you'll find
lurkers on the horizon
nervous to think they already won
tormented by the living, you forget to keep on giving
drifting free like a ghost in the night
shed the mask you were hiding behind
yeah i can tell from the look in your eyes
you lose yourself, lose your grasp on this life
floater please show me how to rewind
can't we both meet again at the shrine?

tiger statue (ft. stavi)
05:36
|

just as i'm walking along
see you blocking my path
dead in my tracks
i played right into your hand
i fell square in your trap
and firm in your grasp
the tiger shifting its weight
getting ready to pounce
in anticipation
you pin me down with your pause for dramatic effect
then on to the next
the judge and his jury
you're the one who's on trial
i was raised in captivity, released in the wild
these lines in my eyes
like stripes on your shoulders
nine of my lives
spent getting closer
to you
and when i'm moving too fast, i might take a step back
lay low and cover my tracks
quick catch me out on the prowl
i'm a gal about town, no one keeping me down
nineteen, chasing me down in a dream
dressed in skin, bathed in the light of a screen
still, feeling safest alone
standing frozen in time or set into stone
when i look back on my life
was i free all along, or could i ever have known?
you shall know my fury, feel my wrath, fear my strength
wind through the valley, golden sun, holy trek

match
02:51
|
|||
the chance to see that i'm a perfect match
this one was made for me
now i can't take it back, no i'm in way too deep
let's get it on then, get it over with
a fantasy
you make a valid point but they still disagree
a fateful evening
i've known you all my life, it's nice to finally meet
we got it on then, got it over with
if what you see is what you get
then what you're on to, what you're up against
is killing me and all i wanted was something better for you
but you were always one step falling behind
she said "i've been sick for a while now, honey
and i ain't gettin better no matter how hard i try"
been thinkin bout a life spent running
and it sure as hell beats sitting round waiting to die
decided i should leave
forward motion puts my mind at ease
transparent in your strategies, your motives, i could read them all
dismissive in your own way, try to fight the feeling, try to shake it off
the signs made clear to me
the cosmic map, the burning of the wreath

thru the wringer
02:22
|
|||
the refuse of forgotten youth
yeah we were all in hot pursuit
these boys were dyin to get free
confusion spread across the land
and outstretched like an open hand, the blood red sunrise in the east
an omen missed that spelled out death
like letters sent but never read
a whisper from a shadowed tomb
from the corner of your eye you catch a glimpse of me
cross the borderline, heed my warning
trace your memories
there came a time in both our lives when it felt nothing worked out right
yet nothing gained, nothing lost
as the waves call to the shore, just like my life calls to yours
a shrouded figure beckons forth

left
02:10
|
|||
you got everything i need
i'm so confused why you'd ever want to leave
nothing but the voice in the back of my brain says i should leave it alone
never thought that i was causing you pain
guess you'd better leave us alone
but you've got six feet underground
gone in flames, left us feeling down and out
never met such a babe in my life, boy you got a hold on my soul
must have been hard to shine so bright
burning like you're out of control
doomed to oblivion
watching all the stars and planets fade away
you moved to a different one
wish i had the words i knew could make you stay

shortcut
01:51
|
|||
you wanna take on the town?
or find another way back out
you set it up to knock it back down
through the mess and the crowd
your friends have all gone home
by now you're just a bitter taste in my mouth
now i'm not a hopeless wanderer anymore
a new love will let me in
made peace with the past and now
i'm looking for secrets that hide within
i want to know of my hero's love
is she still sweet? caught in between?
you've got it out for everybody else
you got a problem with me? you'd better say it to my face
you've got your apathy, you know a shortcut left to take

jaded
02:52
|

you're never actin your age
your momma say you been actin deranged
and i been gettin the shakes
i hear your name i can picture your face
so where will i go when i'm older?
will i be standing here next to you?
maybe i'm just a little bit jaded when it comes to lovin somebody new
you're never catching a break
but it's okay, every day ends the same
you've been lying awake
you can't complain
dreams get washed down the drain
so where will you go when you're older?
will you be standing here next to me?
cuz i think you're probably my favorite
and i know i want your soul to be free

spirals
02:03
|
|||
can't see cause there's smoke in my eyes
the night filled my mind it turned me darker inside
drawn close, slowly circle around
you're pulling me in and you're dragging me down
but i knew where i wanted to be
the rest was a lie i couldn't start to believe
i repeat, "not again, not again, not today"
it happens the same and i'm spinning away
it's too late
i'm falling in spirals once again
keep tightening blindfolds round my head
the telephone, call me up only to say you gotta go
there's a law break in my head, i'm laying low
there's a nightmare in my bed, i'm not at home
but you're falling in spirals once again
keep tightening blindfolds round your head

jewel eye
02:31
|

so another was born in the eye of the storm
he came down from the clouds and said to me
"i could see in your eye, believe it or not,
there's no one alive who could take what we got"
well i was raised in a land where working by hand was better
than wasting time for free
but i was ripping the bong and mowing the lawn
with no one around to tell me i'm wrong
here in the eye, facets like seasons
i was arriving as they were just leaving
here in July, take to the streets
and past all the houses away for the weekend
you were the last one here
i was the last one waiting, hoping i could see
the northern lights

help me! you're the only one
selfless, here for all of us
bending by the water's edge
lend me to return again
keen to meet you, i'm the face of death
separation is your final test
my dear friend i leave you dressed in black
'til the day we meet again at last
show me, take me back a way
remind me brother where i was that day
bending by the water's edge
lend me to return again
strange how a feeling fades away
yet we never find relief
you're still carrying that weight,
see you struggling underneath
well you say you will change
do you wanna make a trade?
would you rather play for keeps?
you're a mouth without a face
i'm the hunger of the beast
i'm not smiling your way, i just want to show my teeth
safe in my hiding place
you can stay while the others wilt away
in my camouflage i might change
but will i remain unseen?
for what's yet to come
what's always been
this setting sun has left a life we're damned to wander through
shades of eternal night

oh and it's been years but i could be right there
that bone you broke
long time ago
began to ache again
pressure system's moving in
