a small matter

a small matter of fact
a lie is all there is
no space to breathe
i want to hear the laughter
laughter flying like a ship
out on dry land
out on dry blood
there's nowhere here
tying the tower
tower watching tower
fire's gone there’s no time left
an old familiar song
the tune that filled our house
the music at the top of ever
with laughter everywhere
there the sound goes
coming down from the ceiling
another star lit purple
the rising sun is setting fire
i’m so full of rumors
reality is gone it's turning
words are flowing through my veins
searching truth myself
into believing I saw your face
dreaming something here
remember the day
an old familiar song
the tune that filled our house
the music at the top of ever
with laughter everywhere
there the sound goes
coming down from the ceiling
another star lit purple
the rising sun is setting fire
to the place we look for love
call a never ending light

drop of everything
04:49

the night is over the sky is blue
blue so bright it will break your heart
you are the light we look into
take from your eyes the reasons to cry
face each wall and turn to sky
before tomorrow there will be the sun
i’m going up the hill
to the rose trees and the wind
everyone can see who you are
there's no distance your soul will shine
in the fourty red suns the moon aligns
in your magic voice call to be free
our worlds are tangled with moonlight shining through
in your smile I find a heart that is new
we are twisted our eyes collide with light
in your touch it must be right
love the light come tune the sorrow to laughter
in your dream sleep come hold the peace
dance the dream lift the sky
open cloud raining eyes
sounds return haunt the mind
no horizon ocean sign
drop of everything bring the night
hold the starlight crack the sky
reach the stars and angels find
what you need
for the starlight climb

keep it between us
04:31
|
|||
|
take a deep breath
keep it between us
here we are
dance on the ceiling
the music is sweet
we have a new scare
but I want you
be there in the morning
and your precious heart
you'll be there in my dreams everyday
in my arms I will hold you tight
you're there in the morning
take my hand
don't let it slip away
we were lost in a world of noise
we're here for the night shine
and love only a sound
touch the break
see the light
let me feel the water
take a deep breath
and maybe baby
feel the heat
just like our love song
one breath away
i want you here in the night
just an out of tune
shadow on the way

people in grey
05:24
|

|
when the clock has run out of time
somewhere in the ether world
out of touch out of mind
between the madness and the light
between the fact and the pain
I think my body is a joke
running around inside my head
waiting for my ship to come
too late now for the tears
it’s alright
shine a light
it’s alright
shine a light on me
it’s alright now
shine the light on me
it’s alright
the dawn will come
you will see
let it shine love
the sun is out
but still we shine for the day
you're only beautiful
in your own way
and the way it shines
come let the children fall
into happiness
the city sleeps with a queen
we're only here to make that feel
what no one else can bring
the new morning
the sun has come
it's been lost and won again
tune up the sound of the rising tide
shake the sky another minute on the rise
let the people in grey feel all right again
feel it in the air as they go along

until your eyes
05:35
|
|||
|
there comes a shadow of the heart
that wants to be beside you
when the night is dark
you will need no one
to lend a helping hand
chambers of light
need the sun need the night
come on wings spread yourselves
and prepare for the fall
for the rising when night is cold
there comes a cloud on the shore
of a new day
let us know the moon
is it light is it not
we are here
no one else is in its reach
here marks the ground
you can hear it in the distance
a million miles away
and out of the rain
as your shadow crosses ground
when the new day breaks
a magic carpet
the children laugh
the life that won't end
when the last day's caught up with their lives
It will be too much crying
you won't help them anywhere
all of the world is waiting for you
so leave all your fears and meet their eyes
one thing just make sure that you stand right by me
when the shadow comes along for the first time
does the passion die
when the shadow comes along for the first time
take hold of me until your eyes see what it means
on the face of it all
as we run across the sand
find me starry-eyed
and i will stay with you
stay with you
stay with you

as it is now
05:34
|
|||
|
we love your face
here in the doorway
as you lay sleeping
you stare closer and laugh
don't care if it rains or it falls
love is just a blossom on the trees
that's why I know what we need
i’m in love with the sky above
and the bottom of a well
there is only sunshine, only stars
follow me I feel the need to climb the sky
to touch your lips and feel your warm skin
everyday it's the same
you're here to protect me
from the sadness in their eyes
i see you once again
rise and then fall away
in dreams I wake up in my darkness
but I feel the earth in my arms
I'm holding you so close
but giving it away
crack the sky and here comes the water,
let me dry off in the flood
but there's nothing to take
cause all of us can see this through
nothing to break the fire in your smile
or the chaser in the rain
you're here to teach me about the path
i feel you when I'm feeling blue
i’ve been here all along
you're here to protect me
from the sadness in their eyes
i see you once again
rise and then fall away
in dreams I wake up in my darkness
but I feel the earth in my arms
i’m holding you so close
but giving it away as it is now

deep down a stone
06:33
|
|||
|
take me to that place
where no one knows
where no one goes
and is that not enough
she sits alone at home
on her own late afternoon
until she’s contentless
her fears all disappeared
her voice in its anger
she’s becoming a ghost
and there's none for her
she’s left alone with her dreams
and her world is no better place
in heartache and hurt
at last the pain is gone
you come to me with innocence
and in my mind there’s no sorrow
your face is just an emotion
and the words you say don’t take
oh, her beauty’s in it
the clouds of cruel rain
the little girl getting older
she’s looking through the tears
her laughter’s full of splinters… oh
please don’t wake her up tomorrow
the tears are falling everywhere
she’s silent in her sleep and in her head
it’s hard to understand everything she says
the streets are not for any restless soul
just the clay between her hands
that are longing to learn
instead of growing old
her mind is somewhere else
it's gone somewhere
along with all her feelings
and what you find
has been found in you
what you find has been found in you
oh it's sad that all she has is hurt inside
cause your story's played upon this
only the dead were able to see her face
the cities of desire are drowned again
on the street of dread it's quiet underground
and silence is gone and there’s no one left
when she smiles my heart turns cold
you can look but you won’t see
you’re just too deep down a stone
too deep down a stone

lost
05:14
|
|||
|
you are who you are
all come back for me to see
watch me fall to pieces
even though i know you'll never let me go
they leave me in a blizzard of emotions
but it makes me feel like I’ve got nothing new
something's happening that's familiar
she says "when you're young
and there's no money"
how is she so blind
a blind and narrow heart
weaves tears into my eyes
i can't understand it must be hard
keeping love alive
but all lines there lead back to me
i’m here every day… just let me go
i know starlight is shining through my window
it's even brighter than the sun
and all this love to find and feel for me
no substitute... vision inside my head
a stairway from tomorrow into yesterday
i never dreamed this place would be so right
take a train ride on the way
come with me my love is here
there is no river running
it's already sea and sand for all the years
you're the river flows as I listen to a song
they call my name and I’m so glad
there's no one here so love the light
so love the light
strange to be alive in this place
something takes my breath away
it's calling for help from someone
we're lost in our own world as soon as we arrive
i know starlight is shining through my window
it's even brighter than the sun
and all this love to find and feel for me
no substitute... vision inside my head
a stairway from tomorrow into yesterday
for you are here beside me tonight
i never dreamed this place would be so right

ruby chandelier
03:43
|
|||
|
it was a ruby chandelier
never white with snow on her cheek
like the flowers on autumn trees
and someone left her there
in the coldest room off the floor
she is a mirage
golden child with all the things on her mind
she is still hidden
inside her wildcat eyes
she is still believing
my tongue is growing thin…
growing thin
in a haunted heart
there is nowhere to go
where anyone can see her
and there are no words
there is no space
no mercy beneath the face
forbidden to say what it isn’t
but in the silent night of her four eyes
it’s going down
in restless days
through the strange
there are many walls put up
when people need answers
when god is just a name
and underneath the smiling face is known as freedom
and she’s allowed to walk on her own
and when she gave them shoes
to go where the road took them
one hundred percent of this is all she would need
if something ever comes between
in a haunted heart
there is nowhere to go
where anyone can see her
and there are no words
there is no space
no mercy beneath the face
forbidden to say what it isn’t
but in the silent night of her four-eyed sons

broken stars
04:28
|
|||
|
my clothes are overgrown in my head
the noise it makes me think
and the glasses that you wore
there’s nowhere for me when you’re not there
there was no mercy in my words
now absence is all that holds
the flowers and the trees all gleam
all the joy and all the pain it brings
i see the world in black
with all its red lights burning
but there's an open door
and there are hidden graves
among the broken stars
and in the haunted sky
we've been here forever
on wings of light
a place of no return
on wings of night
just looking back at all our mistakes
too far away to start again
just you looking down it’s waiting for you
you’re never touched by an angel
buried in a pool of bones
all the joy and all the pain it brings
buried in a pool of bones
we might grow through this instant
this feeling is happening
we can see our birth
all the fruitless children
asleep in the day
and their mother
i see the world in black
with its red lights burning
but there's an open door
and there are hidden graves
among the broken stars
and in the haunted sky

nowhere near
05:10
|
|||
|
you wanted to see my face
but you never got the chance
in a room crowded with violent words
and shadows everywhere
all along it was just a blank
i stood in the crowded room
another lost heart
finished the day
in my nowhere near
everyone is missing
everyone is crying
everyone is lying
but I’m wanting you
so don’t go away
everyone is missing
everyone is crying
everyone is lying
saw it all there in your eyes
i don't want your honesty
i just need your company
when you’re pretending from your mouth
i won't say a word but I'm not pretending
all along it was just empty words
and vacancies
stood by as I cried
took my breath
I choked for you
you changed my life completely
so here I am
and you're nowhere
i walk alone
through this house
everyone is missing
everyone is crying
everyone is lying
but I’m wanting you
so don’t go away
everyone is missing
everyone is crying
everyone is lying
i saw it all there in your eyes
everyone is missing
everyone is crying
everyone is lying
but i’m wanting you
so don’t go away
