plastic child
04:33
|
|||
i came into your world
it's too late for words
my head has become a ghost
with no one to hold me
so it should be
but through your eyes I see
there are no words to describe this
everything you're telling me
you're saying I want you
i’m only here to escape
life is beautiful like an ocean
on a shooting star
life is beautiful like an ocean
on a shooting star
i’m a dweller in the ordinary world
i’m a plastic child trying to find peace
and meaning in all these plastic reaches
i’m not made of anything less than ordinary people
all this psycho-celebration and races for greed
no no no I want to see me alive somewhere
I've come to find you my friend
In your little corner of this world
I've come to find you my friend
So far away from ordinary life
Life is beautiful like an ocean
On a shooting star
Life is beautiful like an ocean
On a shooting star

whisper love
03:26
|
|||
the day is shining for you
on the way and we will run
it’s the morning of our hearts
and we are still learning
though we can’t stop and start anew
we can fill the void
with all the tears
from children of the past
drop the sun into my eye
s
catch the moon and throw it high
stay aloft to drift above
merge the voices whisper love
just one breath and some holy water
just a kiss of folly from your heart
that we may live again
we need the darkness together
there isn't any space left
to hide yourself in shame
a blaze of lightning could burn it out
for all of us just one breath and we'll be gone
the earth our minds are at war in the night
with hunger everywhere
we cannot reach that star
drop the sun into our eyes
catch the moon and throw it high
stay aloft to drift above
merge the voices whisper love
drink the rain until we’re done
bath in light then come undone
all to see and all to hear
many facets jeweled tear
drop the sun into our eyes
catch the moon and throw it high
stay aloft to drift above
merge the voices whisper love

half past the light
05:19
|

sunrise in your window pane
rising and tumbling down
would you like to watch me leap the sky
dreaming of you at night
feeling only right in my sight
seeing the stars laughing
as they shoot across the sky
in a world beset with anger
close your eyes no more tears
say that you are mine
from the shadows to the moonlight
a ray of sunshine on a far night
love the light
that caresses the sky
love the magic
that lights up your eyes
love the dawn
and the sunset shines
love to be alive
in the shimmer of your smile
your name is like the rain
you fall from the moon
into the night
the sky was blue
the stars were high
they burned like fire
your wings are strong
with the pain inside
the fear of knowing too much
the shape of a heart
these hands may never hold
that which life has torn apart
the rain is falling in my house
half past the light in your eyes
shake the dawn across the room
shake the ground before it falls
love the light
that caresses the sky
love the magic
that lights up your eyes
love the dawn
and the sunset shines
love to be alive
in the shimmer of your smile
love the light
that caresses the sky
love the magic in your eyes

bright divide
04:07
|
|||
i dreamed I saw a house at sea
with silver and snow
lights of gold and burning red
in every grain of sand
in all its beauty and charm
you are there you are there
when you call to me my love
the air is soft it tastes like heaven
and you are there
when your eyes ignite
in the early morning
i am in my light
shadows of the evening sun
are written all around me
i climb the stars
i swim across the sky
i go where no one goes
beyond the bright divide
little bird of heaven
in tune with a thousand things
here in flight
all my senses have come to you
here with me now
each day that dawns
your fragrance fills my dreams
i wake up into the sound of clouds
i can hear the soft refrain
in the early morning
i am in my light
shadows of the evening sun
are written all around me
i climb the stars
i swim across the sky
i go where no one goes
beyond the bright divide

turn into you
03:46
|
|||
a reverse attraction
something stirs up this conscious state
in its splash shooting through
never been so completely shattered
this couldn't be a first let's say
it's a mystery just a trick I keep
and no one is safe from the fall
my heart beats as we shout
the colours scatter in the sky
when I turn into you
i’m out of my mind
and i’m out of time
some come face to face
with the demons that you feel
if you don't then there's no time
to reason why you're here
cause you're not alone
i don't need to be cool
i just wanna be alone
in a cage with my toys
in this world of ours
there's tension everywhere
we all live in a bubble
i just can't turn my head away
the colours scatter in the sky
when I turn into you
i’m out of my mind
and i’m out of time
as an undertow with my radio
with all its colored aglow
everyone is saying so

sky step
05:17
|
|||
the words are floating through my head
i feel a pain in my heart
and it feels so strange
like the ringing of an iron bell
the angels are rising from the sky step
its the sound of children crying in vain
turn out the sunlight and bring the thunder
your first mistake was an opening
now there’s only us
in two different worlds
but there’s no other way
so come on let’s tell the girls
you're one too many million miles from home
and there’s no magic
except the life inside of you
all the warning signs
remind you that you’re breaking
you're one too many million miles from home
and there’s no magic
except the life inside of you
here comes yet another day
true they may break the dawn
in the east and the rising tide
of thunder lightning and rain
a warning to anyone
reminding you that you’re breaking
a warning to anyone still living in fear
in the first flush of sunlight
out from the half-glow
the children run for cover
in the morning the moon is rising
climb into the sky come into my arms
let me know what it means to let you fly
touch my face touch my body
in your own way out of sight
you're one too many million miles from home
and there’s no magic
except the life inside of you
all the warning signs
remind you that you’re breaking
you're one too many million miles from home
and there’s no magic
except the life inside of you

liquid stranger
04:37
|
|||
close my eyes don't move
tune me small for this bubble
it's out it's out of order
like a liquid stranger
dripping in and out of love
out of sync like an ice cream truck
on parade
our friends are at ease
there is a place
through darkness and fear
star and flame
sparkling here
when it isn't there
i will turn
all my troubles away
and find a rainbow
silent face
a pillowcase in the rain
and i’m not alone
no one knows there's someone else
map a path
collect the fire
you can follow my lead
i’m underground
i’m looking for my mainline
this information couldn’t get through
i’ve had enough
there is a place
through darkness and fear
star and flame
sparkling here
when it isn't there
i will turn
all my troubles away
and find a rainbow
i know something waits for us
here across the universe
though a million miles away
there were worlds where you were born
and your birth was born
of sea and sand
and sand and sea
if you decide to dance
then dance with me
along the overgrown path
together all the world to see
dance with me
dance with me

you know this place
03:45
|
|||
there's too much static in this world
i can feel your pain
you're already there
you're the voice of innocence
you're the fire
you're here and you’re shining
shining on and on
every breath is an invitation
to come back again
if I live to fly
i will take you with me
the sky is full… it’s filled with life
and love shines for everyone
sometimes I feel like I could fly
I feel like i’m coming home
something tells me I'm not alone
in my mind there's no doubt
i would found you here
we were born to walk inside the shadow of doubt
i see you through the doorway of my heart
with clouds in my eyes i see the world’s come undone
give me love and the stars appear
the color of the moon
is in your eyes
the light is so bright
you know this place
and I'm in too deep
the moon shines over me
you know you lift me up
when I need it most

upside and down
04:18
|
|||
i’m the man who can't answer
why no-one cries when you leave
in all this sexual noise
there's always hell to hide
i don't deserve my karma
like an animal up a tree
to give me more attention
than a number one hello
Oh-ooh oh-ooh-ooh
there is upside and down
each night alone
you can count on just one word
in the eye of a stranger’s eyes
and when you're lonely
there's nothing to remind you of
i’m not just another toy
a far cry from soft skinned boys
the game that I crave
is to get back unscathed
when did we all become the same?
who did it somebody said
get a life and keep what you have of yourself
i’ve been around
i’ve been out and right through
and in the end I couldn’t find myself
i’m always looking for love
there is upside and down
each night alone
you can count on just one word
i’m not just another toy
a far cry from soft skinned boys
the game that I crave
is to get back home unscathed
the walls wrap around my disguise
i break in two and then I close my eyes
i’m always looking for love
these rooms are made for make believe
that we never needed anyone else

falling forward
04:45
|
|||
in the morning
i’m still on this cloud
in the evening
i’m still coming down
something's happening
here inside of me
it's like there's no way around
i’ll just keep on moving along
you look at me
and you and then
the feeling starts to set in
and i know nothing to complain about
in the morning sun will go
when we're apart
everything has changed
the stars at the window
the moon at the door
the heavens in the sky light
then and before
the sun as it’s rising
never making a sound
the day falling forward
the night coming down
here comes a cloud
it's only a warning
and the mist covers you
but there's only one thing
holding you back
from climbing up the stars
to knock on heaven's door
even though it’s coming and going
been summoned by you
the stars at the window
the moon at the door
the heavens in the sky light
then and before
the sun as it’s rising
never making a sound
the day falling forward
the night coming down

only the world
04:24
|
|||
no stranger to love
no mortal softness to reason
there's no need for words
to make sense
no need to caress
no tenderness to make up
for the silence
that drags your face away
so you're running so you're looking
you're hanging from the sky
how did we get here
how do we leave here
how do we be here
let my light in
it leaves a trace behind
so you can find me
by the darkened seamless dream
and it calls to you
the moon is bright
and tatters the night
your face is cracked
this day the world is sweeter
than all these words
as you stood in the shadow
of imaginary lights
on your face you were a child
i know that you’re no stranger
vanished orphan from a crowd
how did we get here
how do we leave here
how do we be here
is it only the world
each face is an open door
is it only the world
for a soul that drifts along
is it only the world
innocence filled with rhyme
is it only the world
well… don't be surprised

under a star
04:54
|
|||
i’m walking on water
while others swim in the sea
their dreams are like pictures in black and white
they bind them to me
and their shadows bring me down
our knowing of each other goes
i’ve seen the lightning in the sky
led me to see where I can be
you walk on eggshells in your own parade
oh you're never free
there's a place in my heart
the same as it was yesterday
when we fell asleep
there was only a cloud in our bed
if I wish to be where you are
i will find you under a star
when they tell you can taste the bright lights
but if they control you
you let them cause the chaos
then they’re going to break you
make you go insane
there comes a time when all your treasure
must surely be found
you can hold out your own hope
don't let it slip away
call the autumn into your room
the day it saw the month it had become
I can picture you here with me
when my eyes are wide I see
cause I'll never be the same
i’ll always dream that you're in my arms
the stars are following me around
there's a place in my heart
the same as it was yesterday
when we fell asleep
there was only a cloud in our bed
if I wish to be where you are
i will find you under a star
