"We're All Going To Die"

Wait up, don't you close your eyes
Breathe life little flower
You've got 20 t-cells left to burn
Please choose life with its sweet and sour

Don't sing your last lullaby
I don't think it's time

We're all going to die
But we're all not meant to die young

Wait up, don't you close your eyes
Love has been hidden in the shadow
You've got the rope already tied around your neck
One voice whispers life through your sorrow

Don't sing your last lullaby
I don't think its time

We're all going to die
But we're all not meant to die young

This is not your lullaby
Don't go to sleep
Not yet

We're all going to die
But we're all not meant to die young
Wait for the sunrise
Cause we're all not meant to die young

"Yamkela"

Wasted disposable dying scum
Two months tops before silence replaces your small beating drum
Isn't that what we're all waiting for
So we can go home and celebrate our good life

But i feel gun powder
Burning under my skin
Don't say another word
You might set off a spark
Cause i've got gun powder
Burning under my skin

Take me back to tv-land
Numbness is a safe zone
They never trained me for reality
I'm a reality-tv clone
Now did you say your 10 going on 11?
Something is terribly wrong
Somehow i'm dying with you

But i feel gun powder
Burning under my skin
Don't say another word
You might set off a spark
Cause i've got gun powder
Burning under my skin

Yamkela
Don't leave now

"Put Back The Stars"

Put back the stars
I'm out of shape tonight
Pinhole black velvet
Navigation-skills got lost with the fading light
It was there not more then a second ago
Now what do you know, what i do know
Is just not good enough to make things right
Put back the stars
I'm out of place tonight

Ain't it something to know your lost

I hoist my sail
Through there is no wind in sight
And i close my eyes to feel the fresh breeze
Paint the inside of my eyelids bright
Fill the sky with your breath
Cause you know im out of mine
Let the sky burn and i will inhale
Without a fight
I hoist my sail
And i'll just wait for you tonight

Ain't it something to know you have lost

Black tar surrounds me now
But life is the next door neighbor
On the outside there is just absence
But when i close my eyes
All i see is your face

Ain't it something to know you're lost
Ain't it something to know you're lost
Ain't it something i know i've lost

"Fell In Love With The Game"

Put the knife in the table
Deck of cards fly across the room
This game has ended someone need to die
Cause i put my life on the table but forgot the risk i assume
Now it's going down

Fell in love with the game
But i forgot your name
Go ahead please fight me
Cause i'm not scared
Though you stayed the same
I forgot from where i came

I put my life on this table
This is me and i'm lost for words
Now is it me who needs to die
Say something then
Cause i'll be dead before dawn
If your voice comes unheard
Now i can't find ground

Fell in love with the game
But i forgot your name
Go ahead please fight me
Cause i'm not scared
Though you stayed the same
I forgot from where i came

And we both stand tall on the table
You take me by the hand and i grab you by the throat
And we came crashing down through the window
On the dirt ground below
And we wrestle in the mud and the blood and the beer
Break my jaw i don't care
Just stay with me, stay

Look my arms i don't want to move
Hold me still teach me how to weep
If it's ok with you i think i'll stay here
For a little while

Fell in love with the game
But i forgot your name
Go ahead please find me
Cause i'm not scared
Though you stayed the same
I forgot where i came from

"City Lights"

I took a walk down 4th avenue when i saw it
A red line in the concrete
Leading somewhere out of sight
Something compelled me to stop
So i jumped over the fence
Started following from what appeared to be
The trail of a leaking tin can
Leading into the alley away from the light

Now this is what needs to be done
Blacklight shining in the dark
Brings out brightness more than in the sun
Do i dare to stay
Cause somehow i want to

Trade love for the city lights
You chose me to stay
Trade light for the city love
You chose me to stay

So now what if i continue this walk
The red line is taking me down trashcans lonely street
Yes the streets have neames but the people don't
Or are they forgotten
And i'm starting to smell something beautiful
Though these streets are rotten

Trade love for the city lights
You chose me to stay
Trade light for the city love
You chose me to stay

"We Are To Follow"

These streets are as cold and wet
As my eyes, flesh and bones are longing home
I was taken out of context
And to think you had me not speaking for a month or two
But it's not you i know
It's just me waiting
Waiting for the sun to come out

We are to follow
What if i could stand still and get moved

We are to follow
We are nothing running blind
We are to follow
We are so sick of it now
We are to follow
But im scared to be left behind
We are to follow
Nothing now

The TV dies more and more for each day
And the beauty of your eyes (in my hand)
Makes the flashing lights behind me on the wall look even more pale
Four o'clock and the sky is getting red
And here i am, just me waiting
Waiting for the sun to come out

Im throwing myself at you
And i'm holding on for dear life
Can i scream out of tune in this choir
God help me scream

What if i would stand still and get moved
By you

"You Must Be Bleeding Under Your Eyelids"

Her pain is a fog that he inhales
Puts down the phone, neck suddenly stale
It's just another night with a sad different song
Heard from somewhere now she sings along
Turn the car-key, back out of the driveway
He sees her face and he closes his eyes
She still believes the lies

Pretty pretty eyes with a darker tone
Another hour in front of the mirror now all the cars are shown
They say lets have another toast lets sing another song
She tries but the vine is bitter and the words wrong
She still believe the lies

When you see yourself you're seeing red
And it makes you blind
You must be bleeding under your eyelids tonight
You wait for something to break the mold
And all i can do is wipe the blood from your eyes
You must be bleeding under your eyelids

One tear in the sink, swallow the next one
Now out of sight but not really gone
I put the key in the door don't walk to walk through
Hang on the handle for a second or two
As the door opens i feel your sadness from across the room
And now for your beauty i'm lost for words

When you see yourself you're seeing red
And it makes you blind
You must be bleeding under your eyelids tonight
You wait for something to break the mold
And all i can do is wipe the blood from your eyes
You must be bleeding under your eyelids

Wait for something to break the mold
Before your eyes fros old and cold
Keep your ears close to the ground
Don't move until you hear a sound

"My Alibi"

My feet felt light for the first time in months
It was like you came walking across the room
Straight at me and then straight through me
And then stopped and stood still for awhile
I knew then that i'd been lonely for quite some time
And as we started to dance you gently took off my tear soaked coat
And let it fall heavy to the floor and then
We danced some more

When all is said and done
When all is gone and still just begun
I will be asked what i did with my time and why
Can you be my alibi
Cause i know i spent it dancing with you

I have been here before
These emotions are relived
It's like a joy deja vu
You have been walking along
With me for quite some time
But me with my deaf ear and blind sides
Both of these i turned against you
We all know that you're there
We all know

When all is said and done
When all is gone and still just begun
I will be asked what i did with my time and why
Can you be my alibi
Cause i know i spent it dancing with you

Said and done
Now all is gone and still just begun
What have i done with my time and why
You are my alibi
Cause i know
I know im dancing with you

"Come To Rest (Hesychia)"

Sit down in the carousel
Up front like a brave boy
Don't scream like a little girl
Shut up boys don't cry

Come to a rest that flows
From a spring unseen
Cause honestly you're scaring me

Keep up with the schedule
Shape up, have to perform
Hold out for everyone
Dont fail, not now

Come to a rest that flows
From a spring unseen
Cause honestly you're scaring me

Failure is not a option
Have to keep on trying

So much to live up to
So many expectations
Tring so hard to be a approved
A straight A student with yet another F
Oh no gotta make daddy proud now

Come to a rest that flows
From a spring unseen
Cause honestly you're scaring me

Failure is not a option
Have to keep on trying
So much pressure
Can't take this no more
The cause of death
Suicide

"This Time"

All seems wasted now you comb your hair
While your eyes search for a backdoor to get out
All you could do was to leave your deeds at the door
As you entered this room of sickness and doubt
But i saw you put down the memories in your coat just before
Now you want to drink but need someone to pour
To pour your heart out

This time
You know this is real
When you're scared to reveal
This time
Could you leave this now
Even if you knew how
This time
Looking over your shoulder
You have become older
This time
Are you afraid to die

With nothing left the pressure is off
To become all you needed to survive
With a color black you would not be blessed
In a church that decides on color and puts a price
On a paradise you now seem to know so well
But i knkow
I see jesus in your eye, so kiss the sky... and leave this now
Now i have seen what grace looks like

This time
You know this is real
When you're scared to reveal
This time
Could you leave this now
Even if you knew how
This time
Looking over your shoulder
You have become older
This time
Are you afraid to die

We had an intimate talk
With god you and i
Me with my words and you in silence
All you said was
I like that
But i saw jesus in your eyes

This time
You know this is real
When you have nothing more to reveal
This time
Would you leave this now
Even if you knew how
This time
Looking over your shoulder
You have become older
This time
You're not afraid to die
