1. Free
Free like a bird
Crossing the sky
Just a dream
I want to be free
Just want to be free
I'm burning because of you
My light like fire
Without the flames
Can't you see
Can't you see?
Please let me be free
Please let me be me
Can you forgive me
Cause I can't
Crucified myself
And cause I destroyed all this
The dreams we made
2. In Vein
Drear and dying sound
We hear the voice of weeping dawn
The light in dust
Lays death
The light that once
I beheld
In vain I sing to it
In vain I live for it
3. Fire
Hey
Hey you're mine
Or would you stay awake
Would you stay awake for someone else?
Waves of fire
I'm sunburnt I am in flames
You are mine
No matter what you say
Hey
All the mime
Would you stay awake
Would you stay awake for someone else?
Waves of fire
I'm sunburnt I am in flames
You are mine
No matter what you say
Ride the wave
And tear the walls with heavy breathing
A burning day
Ample sunlight after rain
Ride the wave
Ride the wave
All in flames
All in flames
4. Hurt
Like a hand of paper leaves
Stained from all the promises
That you never kept
All these dreams intensifying
That we dream
When will they come to something real?
But you go away
And you never stay
All these bitter years
That you leave me with
All these dreams intensifying
That we dream
When will they come to something real?
5. Ready to Cry
I don't want to fall in love again
I just want to avoid the pain
I don't want to be fooled again
I just want to avoid the pain
Stiff in my grasp through the endless embrace
Story goes on with no endless grace
Dark on my side, light is what I denied
Thank you for your body
Wasted time
Thank you for your secret
That will always be mine
6. Don't Forget the Planets
I'm holding up Neptune
On a raft that's not sinking
Maybe reach out to Venus
And feel it embrace me
I'm holding it hostage
On a raft that's not sinking
I should reach out to Venus
From a point I would rather not know
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
Like the sun through the blinds
I'm traversing the northern star
Driving stakes through the ground
Counting steps inbetween
Life passes quickly
I'm measuring the fathomless
Diving towards all the water around me
I dive but I'd rather not go
I feel it
Taking
Breathing
Down on me
Drowning
Diving deeper
All the water
Around me
The planets
They must be
Let in as well
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
Like the sun through the blinds
7. Crimson Shade
I went down one day with you entwined
The hard rains of another April day
Pouring on us strange shades
Unravelling the story of your grace
Wishing we both stayed
I went down one day with you entwined
The hard rains of another April day
Take these tears and make them yours not mine
Lay me down beside you and let me shine
8. Maservant
I want you chained to a bed
Widespread and open
Like the open sea
Let me be the river
To that sea
In my utter weakness
Why do we seethe
Hands over my face
Maybe I try
Maybe I'd rather be
In my own waves
Like the dawning of a new day I am free
But my hands are and my feet are
Chained and bound
And it's you behind the rust that's killing me
I want you chained to a bed
Widespread and open
Like the open sea
The feathers will fall and the wings will grow tired
As the summers make way for the autumn of your life
