Patterns On The Panes
04:35

|
There is a boy covered in
A sheet of amber skin
It gets soaked by leaves an darkness
When he wades in the forest
This is a boy with eyes
Made of bits of sky
He lives up the hill in a house
Made of bricks of glass
And he likes it when it rains
'Cause he watches the water carve patterns on the panes
Oh he wonders where you are
Oh he wonders what you do
Oh he's still waiting... for you
Houhouhou
There is a girl with a hungry mouth
She needs to fill in with sounds
She lives in a nest perched on a cliff
Made of thorns and silk
And she likes it when a storm breaks
'Cause the thunder drowns out the pounding of her lonely heart
Oh she wonders where you are
Oh she wonders what you do
Oh she's waiting...
Oh where are you, I am waiting, still waiting
For you
Oh I wonder where you are
Oh I wonder what you do
Oh I'm still waiting

Before Our Lips Are Cold
03:35

If there's one thing one should fear in life
it's to miss a chance
If there's a second thing one should fear in life
It's what is left unsaid
I've walked through the blazing fire,
Walked through all alone
And I've come back
So you'd better forget about your twisted ways
Before our lips are cold,
And our eyes are blank
And our skin has dried out
Our spirits gone
We'd better not waste a minute, not even a second,
So we'd better know what we want
If there's one thing you should have learnt by now
It's to be fair play
If there is just one thing that I could teach you now
It's to say sorry
And if you'd walked through the blazing fire
Walked through all alone
If you'd come back
You would surely let go of all your wicked ways
Before our lips are cold,
And our eyes are blank
And our skin has dried out
Our spirits gone
We'd better not waste a minute, not even a second,
So we'd better know what we want

Blow The Horns
04:34
|

|
Come to me as you are
Come with no plans
Let's keep our minds open wide
Come to me just as you are
We'll make no plans
and keep our minds open wide
I've tried everything else
But nothing is this sweet
So let's play this little game...
And grant me the space you can,
I'll try to fit in the best I can
Know that trust is my only claim
For as long as you trust me
I can't feel any pain.
I want to be loved with inspiration
I want to feel the warm satisfaction.
So blow the horns, awaken my blood, let it rush
Strike a match and set fire to every one of my nerves.
Love me now !
I want to be loved tonight !
Now, now !
Right now, Tonight !

Back & Forth
03:28
|
|||
|
Right in the middle of town
hides a garden pierced through by a peaceful stream
I often come and lsit down by the water, resting.
I breathe in the stillness
Enjoy harmony
Till it fills me up
Till it soothes me
All around the town
Circles the ocean
Its violent waves keep clawing at the shore
I often come and stand in front of the water, observing.
I drink in the fury
Enjoy chaos
Till it fills me up
Till it soothes me
And I do this back and forth
Oh I do it
I breathe in the stillness
Enjoy harmony
Till it fills me up
Till it soothes me
Then I drink in the fury
Enjoy chaos
Till it fills me up
Till it soothes me

No Monkey
05:14
|
|||
|
I find it hard sometimes to protect my ground
All your fierce attacks, could knock me down
I will not drop my guard
Will not allow you in
Will not drop my guard
Will not allow you in
I'm no little monkey
So take back your narrow labelled boxes
I will not drop my guard
Will not allow you to strike
Will not drop my guard
Will not allow you to strike
Who do you think you are
Your grin wouldn't fool a child
I see the sharpness of your teeth behind
I wasn't born yesterday, think twice
How dare you ?
How dare you ?
How dare you ?
Think you know me better than I do
In the corner of my mind, there's a small arrow
Pointing in the direction that I have to follow
And it starts twinkling if I ever go astray
It starts twinkling, if I ever loose my way
I will not drop my guard
Will not allow you to strike
I Will not drop my guard
Will not allow you in

The Pool
04:18
|
|||
|
If I plunge my hand into this muddy pool
And let my fingers venture into the cloudy water
If I ever feel
shades exploring the
Whiteness of my skin
If I decide to let them drag me down
I wonder if I'll come out immaculate
Will I ever come out ?
I wonder if I'll come out immaculate
If I hold my breath before sinking in this muddy pool
Prevent my eyes from closing
My heart from racing
If I dare to stare
long enough
At the bottom
If I witness just half of the turmoil
I wonder if I'll come out immaculate
Will I ever come out ?
I wonder if I'll come out immaculate
Will I ever be back ?
I wonder if I'll come out immaculate
Will I ever come out ?
I wonder if I'll come out immaculate

Duet For Ghosts
04:36
|
|||
|
When I'm a little down
Thinking how fast time passes by
When I ponder on how much I like my loneliness
I dream of a wild embrace
Memories of a few nights of grace
And I find myself wondering
Whose is this breath on my neck ?
Whose is this hand running through my hair ?
When I'm a little down
Thinking how fast time passes by
When I ponder on how much I like my loneliness
I dream of a wild embrace
Memories of a few nights of grace
And I find myself wondering
If one day the wind rises
And your suitcases long for changes
Would you be ready to fill them up with golden sand
And pray for the wind to blow
Strong enough to bring you close
Then I'll catch you and I'll show you
Whose was this breath on your neck
Whose was this hand running through your hair
Whose was this heart beating loud and fast
Who was this ghost who would never ever leave you alone
If you're ready call my name
If you're ready call my name
When you're ready call my name
When you're call my name
Call my name and I'll, I'll catch you...

The Boy Behind The Man
04:23
|
|||
|
The gods try their tricks on you
While the white nymphs bustle about
Earthquakes happen day and night
You say I have the power to calm them down
That I just have to lay on your ground
I wish I could pray, but I don't know how to
ooh...
A tale is told, a secret unveiled
she sold off her soul and broke your bones
Since her many roses you've picked
But it could never satisfy your craving heart
Poor Sysiphus up and down the mountain
ooh...
Now I see clearly in your eyes
The boy hidden behind the man
ooh...

Protective
04:12
|
|||
|
I remember how the night was threatening
The long loud silence that deadened my thinking
I remember how the moon was glowing
How well its light reflected on the metal of the fences
And I saw myself running and stumbling and running towards the gate
And I wanted to hold your head and hold my breath to ease your pain
Would you let me take your hand and show you ?
There is a better way to go through all this
I remember how loud the men were laughing
The terrifying noise of their dogs barking
And I was so scared, so scared, scared at the thought of their fangs in my skin
And I felt so ashamed. It was nothing compared to your hurting.
Would you let me take your hand and show you ?
There is a better way to go through all this
Would you let me wash the mud of your face ?
Would you let me carry you home, safe ?
Will I run fast enough to rescue you ?
Who am I to think I can make it ?
Will I be strong enough to carry you ?
Who am I to think I can make it ?
I can make it.
Would you let me take your hand and show you ?
There is a better way to go through all this
Would you let me wash the mud of your face ?
Would you let me carry you home, safe ?

Holy Night

Silent Night, Holy Night
All is calm, All is bright
All around us the world's fast asleep
Oh my infant so wild and so sweet.
Silent Night, Holy Night,
All was calm, All so bright
Oh the way you...
Oh the way I...
And All around us was sheer beauty
Oh my Infant so lost and gloomy.
