Days Become Ages.
The burden is light weight when friends are gone, drunken roams.
Later then, we touch the ground,
When lights go on, they close the bar.
Suddenly, days become ages.
Silently, shades become blurred ghosts.

The Lower You Fall.
Days go by and we think it’s alright to be on our own,
We throw our vows to the fire ‘cos we know we have had enough of to have and to hold.
We’re cursed by our mistakes yet we go on,
We’re landlocked souls we know, yet we keep on taking off.
At night we dream of lives where we don’t pretend
The breaking sun decides we still have to wait.
The lower, the lower you fall.
The deeper, the deeper you choke.
We’re living on the silence of the people we decided to let go.
We chase the steamy shapes of all the people we were made to let go.
We’re living on the silence of the people we decided to let go.
We’re dashing through our lives so every knows we learnt how to let go.

Wolves.
I can let you down, I can blur the lines,
And your wolves would lose my tracks.
In the deepest woods, in the Owl Realm,
You’ll never see in the dark.
Your eyes are idle here.
Your arms are raw clay here.
Don't you know there's no way out when lights are glowing bright?
If you fall for silver sparks, for golden chains you'd die.
The wolves are howling…
In the end we all pretend to love the way we fall.
How can I lean on you, dear? what can I learn from this?
How can you look at me, love? what should I learn from you?
How can I lean on you, dear? what can I learn from this?
How can you look at me, love? what should I learn from you?

Norman, Oklahoma.
Norman, Oklahoma. I found you the day we faded away,
It was snowing all the way back home,
But I was melting. All winter long.
I still wake up every now and then,
My limbs are mountains.
Feel the mud heaving through my veins,
Feed the trees that hide me away.
I can't recall when we blurred the lines,
He was a friend, he was a friend of mine.
As the seasons turned, we learnt to lie,
and never spoke again.
We were not that sure, but the road went on and on, and on
We drove across the State.
While we ran late, the days got paler,
And memories erased.
Memories faded away.
Memories fade away.
Summer kills my pride.
Autumn sets the price.
Winter drowns my hopes.
In Spring time we are born.

Departure.
As the moon pulled the waves offshore,
And the sea turned its back on us.
We were walking home on retreating tide.
I felt the cold, I felt the sand.
It was the first time we went back home,
And we knew not for how long.
Now, if you tell me here I don’t belong,
Then I’m done, I’ll be gone.
If you want me to leave this room I will quietly go.
Just let me pack my things,
And I’ll silently be a fading memory.
But we know you said quite a lot of things to me,
And all I believed, all I believed.
As the moon pulled the waves offshore,
And your church burns down to the ground,
We were walking home through the restless smoke,
I felt the fire, I held your hand.

Falling.
Well, I don't belong to the place that you call home,
All these flatlands and the valley, and the barely open doors.
And I won’t resist to be one of those who missed all the chances they were given,
I will harvest every sin.
So don't you fear, everyone is here
We're all swimming in the mud
If it is, so be it. I just need to feel
I am not the only one.
So if you shiver, come on up, just breathe in… the game is over soon.
If it is, so be it. We all need to feel we won't be all alone.
We're falling. we're falling, we're falling, we're falling.
We're falling. we're falling, we're falling, we're falling.

Black Times.
Then I said something I never intended to say,
I came up with something I could hardly bare myself,
Could not hold my ground, I laid down all my guns.
I obviously don't know, I know you are so sure,
What it's like to be a man in black times.
What it takes to have a life in dark times.
Now my old revenants re starting to haunt me again,
raising their hands to the sky, now they don’t need to pretend.
I cursed every ghost but my children were lost.
I obviously don't know, I know you are so sure,
What it's like to be a man in black times.
What it takes to have a life in dark times.
I obviously don't know, I know you are so sure,
What it's like to be a man in black times.
What it takes to have a life in dark times.

Transfixed.
There’s a light in the woods I don’t know how to deal with.
All the patterns are blurred and I can’t believe the signs.
I see girls, pretty girls, all around pretending to be wise.
I see boys, little boys, standing proud, transfixed by their thighs.
I am empty, strengthless, dull
As the eternal pain in the chest grows old.
Our summer is cruel and burns down the lawns.
As you empty I grow cold.
I never tell the truth to those who break my heart
And after all we’ve been through you should know me better than that.
You never chose my path so all this wild weed grew,
And after all I’ve been through you should trust me better than that.
We never give our hearts, we keep them safe inside,
And now the stones in the wall crumble down like castles of sand.
We never tell the truth to those who burns us down,
And after all we have burnt you should keep your word upon that.

Backwards.
Failures are result of what we are at heart,
I hadn’t felt before the weigh of the words I spoke.
I never tried to hide the monster that I grew inside,
I never wished before death to the friends I’ve known.
We dumped it all to flames,
We waited for them to raise.
I never burnt before as hard as fueled by my own hopes.
I never tried to hide the monster that I grew inside,
I always tried to hope that we were something else but
We are someone else’s lullaby.
We ran out of time, oh, way to fast.
