Be My Mirror
03:11

Be my mirror
Be my mirror
Be my mirror
Be my mirror
A bog of my own I sink, I freeze
Defence or yielding drowns me deeper
I split off, as always
It's melancholy that lets me laugh
And saddens me
It's melancholy that flavours my world
And embitters me
Be my mirror
Be my mirror
Be my mirror
Be my mirror
Memories, indivisible from me
Inexplicable to you
A bitter taste proves I was there
It's melancholy that gives me hold
And shakes me
It's melancholy that blends all matters
And separates me
Be my mirror
Be my mirror
Be my mirror
Be my mirror
It's melancholy that flavours my world
And embitters me
It's melancholy that blends all matters
And separates me
It's melancholy that moulds my art
And inspires me
Be my mirror
Be my mirror
Be my mirror
Be my mirror

Allure
02:24
|
|||
|
I walk on clouds of stones
Lightness and downfall
Filling my bones
Shadows chasing on guard
Action and numbness
Throwing me hard
A maddening threshold
Freedom and cages
All uncontrolled
Letting go the allure
Flying or crashing
One will be sure
Let yourself fall
Into the trees from above
Enjoy how you float
On the blankets of love
Until you slowly descend
To the soft cushioned ground
And rest in sweet dreams
Until wakening sound
I walk on clouds of stones
Lightness and downfall
Filling my bones
Letting go the allure
Flying or crashing
One will be sure

Sweet Echo
03:05
|
|||
|
Been to millions of wharves
Sat in empty ghost towns
That are begging for steps
To be pressed on their grounds
Sweet echo I call for you
Repeat my screams made of pine trees
Sweet echo I call for you
Repeat my screams made of pine trees
Keep dying through seasons
Wait every single year
Been like I've always been
Waking up is my fear
Sweet echo I call for you
Repeat my screams made of pine trees
Sweet echo I call for you
Repeat my screams made of pine trees
I am alone when they come
Always alone when they come
Loyal in my loneliness
I am alone when they come
Always alone when they come
Loyal in my loneliness
Sweet echo I call for you
Repeat my screams made of pine trees
Sweet echo I call for you
Repeat my screams made of pine trees
Sweet echo I call for you
Repeat my screams made of pine trees
Sweet echo

What If
06:39
|
|||
|
Oh my, you give, I take
What if I cannot hold to live?
What if you cannot forgive?
What if we end up in a song like this, this?
Noise of today
Rushes through my head
Leaving behind voices
Of those I had met
What if I cannot forget?
What if they are all I ever said, said?
What if all shall be eternalised like that, that?
Oh my, what if?
All traces spoken
In the light of time
Turning into matter
That soon will be mine
What if I cannot ever shine?
What if they destroy my shrine, shrine?
What if all shall die with me in time?
Oh my, what if?
Oh my, you give, I take
What if I cannot hold to live?
What if we end up in a song like this?
What if we end up in a song like this, this?
What if?

Story of Stars
03:07
|
|||
|
Echoes of crows in the air
Travelling to my soul in despair
Setting free a gloomy feel
Of the things that might reveal
I listen to nature so I can hear
Look at the stars to see me clear
Grey shades of daylight
Descend upon me
Ease me softly
Hear my plea
Sprinkle the sky with my sad glory
Look at the stars that tell my story
Sprinkle the sky with my sad glory
Look at the stars that tell my story
Things my soul kept locked inside
Now no longer can abide
Burden for my soul I face you now
Hidden wells no longer can allow
I listen to nature so I can hear
Look at the stars to see me clear
Grey shades of daylight
Descend upon me
Ease me softly
Hear my plea
Sprinkle the sky with my sad glory
Look at the stars that tell my story
Sprinkle the sky with my sad glory
Look at the stars that tell my story

On a Bird's Wing
03:31
|
|||
|
On a bird's wing
I rode to a magical shore
We flew to a place
A place I've never been before
When I returned
I was the same no more
When I returned
I was the same no more
When I returned
When I returned
Longing to fly
Next time the black bird came
But the bird passed by
Cause I was not the same
When I returned
When I returned
When I returned

Today
04:38
|
|||
|
Most days I'm swimming in my mind
Hoping to discover new shores
Always, I end up where I started from
My path is yet to come
Most days I walk along with you
Hoping to discover you
Always, I end up on my own
My path is mine alone
Today it seemed the day did not wake up
Just as I did not awaken
To my life it seemed
Today it seemed the day did not wake up
Just as I did not awaken
To my life it seemed
Today
Most days I'm curled in piles of faults
How I long to stretch out on you
Resting on cooling ground
My life started when I had drowned
And now calm air will come
How I crave that peace
Leaves me in tune with you
My life started when you withdrew
Today it seemed the day did not wake up
Just as I did not awaken
To my life it seemed
Today it seemed the day did not wake up
Just as I did not awaken
To my life it seemed
Today

Train Window
02:38
|
|||
|
Like the train rushes through the land
So my mind passes by all that stand
Sometimes I catch a being or a church
Even graves resting under a birch
When my thoughts overwhelm
Leaping in my head
When my thoughts overwhelm
I step behind my mind
When my thoughts overwhelm
In stillness they embed
My mind drifts to peoples aims
What they might feel even their names
When that old church was put in place
Who took rest under the birches space
When my thoughts overwhelm
Leaping in my head
When my thoughts overwhelm
I step behind my mind
When my thoughts overwhelm
In stillness they embed
Like the train rushes through our days
Please get off to explore what stays
When my thoughts overwhelm
Leaping in my head
When my thoughts overwhelm
I step behind my mind
When my thoughts overwhelm
In stillness they embed

Metamorphosis
04:39
|
|||
|
Have you ever shed yourself
The way a snake sheds its skin?
Leaving behind a shell
It is no longer comfortable in
The ultimate end
It can leave a mess
The ultimate end
It can leave a ghost
But probably no one knows
Or will even notice
That I am going through a metamorphosis again
That I am going through a metamorphosis again
I'm changing like a butterfly
I'm changing like a butterfly
I'm changing like a butterfly
I'm changing like a butterfly
Imagining you the way I do
I remake your world
Til I'm an image to you
I wait for the light to crack in
I wait for the light to crack in
I wait for the light to crack in
I wait for the light to crack in
I wait for the light to crack in
I wait for the light to crack in
I wait
Are you afraid for the crazy
That hides deep inside?
Listen to the news of what they did
Will you lift your lid?
The ultimate end
I think too much
The ultimate end
They think I'm fine
But probably no one knows
Or will even notice
That I am going through a metamorphosis again
That I am going through a metamorphosis again
I'm changing like a butterfly
I'm changing like a butterfly
I'm changing like a butterfly
I'm changing like a butterfly
Imagining you the way I do
I remake your world
Til I'm an image to you
I wait for the light to crack in
I wait for the light to crack in
I wait for the light to crack in
I wait for the light to crack in
I wait for the light to crack in
I wait for the light to crack in
I wait
I wait for the light to crack in
I wait for the light to crack in
I wait for the light to crack in
I wait for the light to crack in
I wait

Always Never
04:13
|
|||
|
Parallel lines never meet
But we did so I took my seat
Our street was long the pace aligned
Tight together forever confined
You said always, I said never
I said always, you said never
You said always, I said never
So we fell apart together
Always, never, together
You look at me
But do you really see me?
You hear me, you understand?
You look at me
But do you really see me?
You hear me, you understand?
Touch, feel?
Drove through storms, went on missions
We spoke less about turning point ambitions
You turned left I turned right
Split in half crashed in flight
You said always, I said never
I said always, you said never
You said always, I said never
So we fell apart together
Always, never, together
You look at me
But do you really see me?
You hear me, you understand?
You look at me
But do you really see me?
You hear me, you understand?
Touch, feel?
You said always, I said never
I said always, you said never
You said always, I said never
So we fell apart together
You said always, I said never
So we fell apart together

Light and Drum
02:31
|
|||
|
Let me follow you into your dream
To understand where you have been
Into your darkest place I come
To give you light and play the drum
Let me follow you into your dream
To understand your silent scream
To be the net in case you fall
To face your ghosts and fight them all
And fight them all
Let me follow you into your dream
And fight them all
To understand where you have been
And fight them all
Let me follow you into your dream
And fight them all
To understand your silent scream
And fight them all
And fight them all
And fight them all
And fight them all
