1.
Dim lights in empty shapes Smiles washed by the rain People just fade away Past times escape this place Feelings like cords in landscapes Pending in passageways And it’s getting cold inside Failed in the taste of life Deceiving time And it’s getting cold inside Failed in tasting life Walking in dusty roads Slow steps, just wasting time Senses in heavy coats Confined, waiting in line Hiding his queer modes Pretending he’s doing fine But it’s getting cold inside Failed in the taste of life Deceiving time But it’s getting cold inside Failed in tasting life Desires behind the door Covered with concrete blocks Counting tiles on the floor Red lips that never talk Changes not any more Caged in a broken clock And it’s getting cold

Dream Pilot 05:07
Talking figures With no voice Silence Distance Noise Square heads Without eyes Night – everywhere lies Marching on Walk hit fall Always crashing Against a secret wall Like a dream pilot At a misty dawn Είμαστε όλοι χαμένοι στο σύμπαν Αναζητώντας συντονισμό Romantic figures Helpless, however bold Marching on Walk, hit, fall They never see The secret wall Walk, hit, fall Like a dream pilot At a misty dawn
3.
So close and yet so far away from me Nothing left to say no need to disagree Words fail the couple of the magazine Mouth and ears filled with lies and nicotine Needs build a room between the happy two A cold place with no doors and without a view The other room haunts their lives devours every joy The other room haunts their minds it’s here to destroy The other room the other room made by girl and boy Hopes and demands in a role-play Grow inside; they’re always getting in the way Fingertips struggling in a lost game Hollow dreams piled in a narrow frame Trapped in this room not knowing what to do Only white no more red and green and blue The other room haunts their lives devours every joy The other room haunts their minds it’s here to destroy The other room the other room made by girl and boy Dust covers smiles and affinity Nothing now reminds of how it used to be Sealed hearts die off in clinical glass tubes Ego walls cannot fall down, it’s no use The room is impervious and feeling-proof Living in a black box with a gloomy roof
4.
Tin Man 04:23
Tin man starts again Sounding like a metal can Auto-moves make it last Repelling shadows from the past Plans, dreams put on hold Another dropout of this world Free will that he craved Toasted in the microwave Oh it’s rude to stare Really? Nothing to declare? Are you one of those The system’s trying to expose? Don’t you already know You have to go with the flow? Don’t speak fake a smile Always keep a low profile But Tin man laughs and says I’d rather do my rusty dance My rusty dance, my rusty dance I knew it all in advance Eat, sleep, go to work Warning signs of a stroke Calm down, don’t react This is life, it’s a fact Ease and consumerism Cover and defeat your scream Stay home, nice and warm Still refusing to conform? Feeling safe and sound In a bit you will come round These ideas that you had Will sleep tight in your bed This is common sense No use building up a fence You need to integrate No more worries after eight But Tin man laughs and says I’d rather do my rusty dance My rusty dance, my rusty dance I knew it all in advance

6.
Hidden there behind the drape Dreaming up means of escape Transparent sounds of distant times A lighthouse that still reminds This sense of loss is made of clay An empty gaze gets in the way Trying to learn how to let go Reflections kept under the snow Spiral moves inside a square Vain attempts that steal the air This sense of loss
7.
Shelter 04:30
I’m falling deep and hide In a secret place inside A shelter, a silent shelter Far from devious eyes Protected from the lies In this shelter, your shelter A hidden place in mind Where you can always find Shelter, a soothing shelter No harm can be done No more need to run Away from shelter, this shelter Finally a place A quite familiar face A shelter, like a welcome letter A shelter, a secret shelter
8.
Looking for the secret letters No one dares to spell Smiling faces seem to have them It’s easy to pretend You paint the letters just to see them Melt inside your hand Always on their way to absence Hiding in a well What happened to those secret letters? What have they become? What happened to the sound of choices? Who knows? Anyone? I know there is a letter stealer With a selective taste He always takes away the finest Words that leave no trace He steals the sound of our choices Locks it in a case The keeper stands before my eyes But he has no face What happened to those secret letters? What have they become? What happened to the sound of choices? Who knows? Anyone?
