Event Horizon

As we drift along our random course
And we look for ways to make it worse
All those blurry lines, all your hidden worlds
Swim behind my eyes while the peace unfolds
And push me to a sudden change

Vagabonds

Well I’ve taken my time
But it’s never enough
Every footstep is mine
Every shout, every laugh
You may have a lot to lose
But there’s many more to share
If you found a soul to use
Make sure you let it take you there
Together alone
Like ships out of sight
We’re vagabonds
That race along the edge of night
Flesh and bone
From water and light
Summers are gone
So find a song to make it right
Can we raise our hearts against the odds?
Can we take the truth that hurts the most?
Together alone
Like ships out of sight
We’re vagabonds
That race along the edge of night
Flesh and bone
From water and light
Summers are gone
So find a song to make it right

Lay your soul on me
Stitches and burns are my game
Do what you please
All the stars explode today
Oh, my love would you say
Εvery word lost its way?
Give your heart, let it bend
The precious art of getting hurt
Dive in the fire
Like none of us ever had a face
Higher by design
Leave your mark in this place
Oh, my love would you say
Εvery word lost its way?
Give your heart, let it bend
The precious art of getting hurt

Strange world
You never find a soothing word to spell
And I can tell
Every time you meet it feels like hell
You could be an open shore
Or you could be a shell
Strange fate
Every number says you’re running late
And I shall wait
Until your pale horses find their way
You could be an open door
Or you could run away
I’ve seen your eyes shine lately
Sinking in the sun gently
Taking in the joy, taking in the pain
‘Cause you could be the endless night
Or you could be the day
I’ve seen your eyes shine lately
Sinking in the sun gently
Forget all hope, but always dream awake
‘Cause you could be the frail step
Or you could be the way

The Long Run
05:32
|
|||
|
A ride on the waves
For a look to the shore
What do they know?
We’ll never get old
Get off my star
And I’ll land on yours
Together we are
The fear of gods
Please stay awake
The waters are rough
And how much you hurt
Is how much you’ll laugh
Carry a knife
In a generous hand
Treasure the child
But murder the son
One day we’ll be beautiful words
On lips that burn
And keep the cold nights awake
One day we’ll be lovers and friends
Flowers and birds
And trees and clocks running late
Well is it so hard to set a fire?
Is it so hard to set a fire?
It shouldn’t be hard to set a fire
It should be hard to put it off!

This city bends
Between my hands and I can twist it
I wouldn’t miss it for the world
We walk alone
Your blood is cold, and you are the best
So I threw my vest on a road
So pull out your gun
My ghosts are gone
And there is nothing dark inside me
Just spare the sun
And when you’re done take it with you
‘Cause it was meant to belong
I had a friend
Who couldn’t stand the crying children
Raging within him ‘til the end
You look alike
But keep in mind there’s always something
Next to nothing to hold on tight
So pull out your gun
My ghosts are gone
And there is nothing dark inside me
Just spare the sun
And when you’re done take it with you
‘Cause it was meant to belong
As we run out of love
As we run out of hate

Mermaid Soup
04:58
|

|
I’ve got no soul he said, and he walked out of a burning room
A million eyes stared as he swept the sweat off his forehead
She took him by the hand, and they flew up to the edge of the moon
Where everybody could take a good look as she pushed him over
Now your eyes are burning
It shines like a light but it fades too soon
Now your eyes are burning
Throw her back in the mermaid soup
I don’t know what you’ve seen there
But take all your turns if it feels as it looks
And if you’re planning to meet her
Beware of the corners this city is crooked
There’s an arrow for every ten hearts
Cuts through the feathers and tears them apart
But if you feel like you know where to start
Beware of the wonderful scars
Now your eyes are burning
It shines like a light but it fades too soon
Now your eyes are burning
Throw her back in the mermaid soup

The room is flooded with your scent
My ears are dancing to your laughter
Strangely I'll never understand
How to be happy ever after
I don't know you
You’re not here
Don't know you
Don't come near
Red clouds are floating through your hair
Six seasons passed without a summer
And we're still hanging in dead air
Alone, in love and well distracted
I don’t know you
You’re not here
Don't know you
Don't come near
I don't know you
You’re not here
Don't know you
Disappear!

Avalanches
03:47

Safe and sorry
Endless mountain
Sees them climb high
But never dare to run
Clouds dissolving
Through the dark eyes
And with the sunlight
Avalanches come
See them tear down the walls
Hear the windows shutter
And as they cover the floor
Taking over everything, stay!
Stay, watch the white unraveling
And the trouble will go with the snow
Distant voices
Plant the violence
Keep your balance
You never let me down
Cut your roses
To feed the lions
And in this silence
Avalanches come
See them tear down the walls
Watch the windows shutter
And as they cover the floor
Taking over everything, stay!
Stay, watch the white unraveling
And the trouble will go with the snow
Hear them tear down the walls
Watch the windows shutter
And as they cover the floor
Taking over everything, stay!
Stay, watch the white unraveling
And the trouble will go with the snow

Waters

I stole some time
To sit by, unchallenging
Your breath and mine
Our prime, so deafening
Pull back the waters
‘Cause I know their song
I've crossed all borders
But I found no home
Ten stars align
Pale lights, we’re following
Black sails, bad sign
Cold mouth will swallow me
Pull back the waters
‘Cause I know their song
I've crossed all borders
But I found no home
Unleash the waters
‘Cause I sung their song
My happy daughters, my sons
Are gone

Ten Years Ago Today
04:17
|

Ten years ago today
We wouldn't have it any other way
Than go astray
We'd ride the open sea
And wouldn't stop ‘til everywhere was spring
You and me
You and me!
Who put your hand to draw that map?
Who's broken your back and tore you apart?
Ten years ago today; too late
Ten scars on your fate
And you're out of faith
Don't have this empty look
Our days are fish that flounder on the hook
Just like you
And in the morning breeze
We make them promise they will die at ease
When no one sees
No one sees!
And it's been too long without your bloom
But the walls ‘round the room let nothing through
Ten years ago today; too soon
Ten ghosts in tune
And they're right after you
