1.
So many years Weaving new tricks to get away To get away But below the balconies Coins of pity seal your lips To make To make you stay From time to time You feel a shiver down your spine Oh, down your spine You lean then on the windowsill You close your eyes and wait until It fades It fades away Your voice is breaking Behind a smile Α smile You see the people come and go You hide behind a sightless door And stay Again You stay
2.
Distant Call 05:38
A threat is getting closer A sharp ring of the phone A cold breeze through the window A blackbird sings along I hear her breathing whisper All she never told Voiceless tales of sorrow Before my eyes unfold Sometimes I feel that something Somehow can change it all Sometimes I wait for something Maybe this distant call Sometimes, something Sometimes, nothing at all Her senses tear me down now Like a building made of sand Sunlight is never coming In this forgotten land The burden of existence Is weighing down my mind Life is winking at me But I just fall behind
3.
I will find in your head All these secrets Oh, just give me your hand This pain is needless When I look in your eyes All these omens Keep looming behind All past moments Hollow inside Hollow inside We just feel hollow inside I can’t show you a way Out of your furnace But I’ll stand by the swaying Of your awareness I can’t promise a lie Of blissful daylight But my vain lullaby Could soothe your dark nights Hollow inside Hollow inside Hollow inside
4.
Night Visit 05:04
Slow steps in the dark A stick tapping at the stairs A male shape with a lot of flair He’s walking up to me The wooden boards yield His breath like a misty field Reaching for his gift A used and broken kit My youth lost in it His cufflinks glisten in the night Like staring silver eyes I’m standing on thin ice He hides the kit away With grazing fingernails A faint smile on a wizened face All he leaves behind Before a callow moon It’s a grey clock out of tune Where used to be a heart There’s now a missing part A part I never had The visit’s coming to an end I keep still deep in there A dark, sinister lair Could the visitor be me? Just whispers in the bed A dream time in my head? The stranger looks away I’m falling The stranger walks away Death calling It’s time again
5.
You don’t know how many tried Surviving today, surviving today You don’t care how many died This day, died on this day You don’t know how many were Sent away, were sent away You don’t care how many cities Were, were burnt away You let the rulers Devour again your soul Your soul Your mouth is shut Your eyes can’t see this wrong This wrong Politics of lust they bring to you With glowing gold in their hands Politics of lust persuade you To put in them your trust
6.
You have a strange machine Inside you under your skin You walk like a strange machine Through the living beings A blind eyed In a human tide You haunt us like a strange machine This cold day in a bleak scene You seem like a strange machine Among the living beings A blind eyed In a human tide You speak like a strange machine Words unknown to the living beings A blind eyed In a human tide Your colours brushed aside In a dark place of a blurry mind Strange - Like a strange machine
7.
Healing cracks in the ceiling Life goes on life flows on Healing cracks in the feeling Years go by tears go dry A mirror with staring eyes If you blink, I die If you blink, I die A game of shade and light If you win, I lie If you win, I lie Someone has taken my place He’s sitting on my chair Someone is wearing my face I’m running out of air Watching cracks in the ceiling Faces leak out places leak out Watching cracks in the feeling Drugging me, haunting me My senses are wearing thin If I hide, you spy If I hide, you spy Shadows are blurring my screen If I speak, you die If I speak, you die Someone has taken my place He’s sitting on my chair Someone is wearing my face I’m running out of air
8.
Walking down these corridors So long this line of sight Looking back with eyes that hurt From artificial light Drifting into a grid of lines Where every feeling ends Somewhere near the last of them An imagined ship awaits Walking down these corridors Walking down these corridors We live but something dies inside The ship turns into shallow lies We live but something dies inside Illusions made of solid ice The ship turns into shallow lies Illusions made of solid ice
9.
Oh, I’m lying by a pond A black pond full of sighs Always aching for this bond But it always dies Joyful voices melt away Under a bleak light Your image sinks into the bay Passing out of sight Almost a song
