1. The Black Sea
There is dancing in the sea
Shadows move they just cannot be real
Shadows go and you are left with me
Take a step and feel the sea
Come flee, let the sea be sea
Come I know that you strive for me
Nothing here to threaten thee
Come inside and follow me
Let your breathe go and swim with me
Let your breathe go and swim with me
There is a fire in the sea
That pulls you close arbitrary
One more step don't waver now
Break the deadlock and avow
Come flee, let the sea be sea
Come I know that you strive for me
Nothing here to threaten thee
Come inside and follow me
Let your breathe go and swim with me
Let your breathe go and swim with me
2. Dread It
Round and round the rumors fly
Your promises were just a lie
The handshake made you shiver
that I could tell clearly I was standing right behind you
Today it all went up into the blue
Not quite far enough
You promised us the moon
Suddenly it became absolutely evident
A mocking bird, a pointed grin
The masquerade was growing thin
The laugh is always on the loser
Today it all went up into the blue
Not quite far enough
You promised us the moon
Hence with you away, your sun has set
Pack your things and beings, and never ever come back
Godspeed to the con man
Farewell!
Don't think we will beckon
You promised something you simply could not keep
3. Don't Go Any Further
Um... I saw you this morning... when you were ironing out all the... all the, y'know the stuff that we need, for--for ourselves. And you, you were cleansing it... and I know it's all... y'know it's all... it's all important, y'know. The seam and all, and keeping the lines straight or whatever. Anyway, what I wanted to say... what I wanted to say is...
...don't go any further.
Um... I saw you this morning... when you were ironing out all the... all the, y'know the stuff that we need, for--for ourselves. And you, you were cleansing it... and I know it's all... y'know it's all... gone... it's all over... yeah, I don't know... I don't know... just don't go any further.
Don't go any further!
Um, I know... I was, um... I was late... later than, later than expected... I mean.... don't go any further...
And I know it's all... you know it's all... gone... it's all over with... you know... yeah, I don't know...
Don't go any further!
4. Avalanche
Build me a tomb, a sarcophagus
Something to look forward to
In the end when all comes down
Take what you cannot take
And hide what you cannot hide
Then silence me forevermore
I can hear the hangman come
No delay
Build me something to look forward to
I have no regrets
No failure inside me
Weathered all intrigues
Reason comes when pity goes
The shades go down
Down in the lather
Lend me your tears
And we'll defy whatever
Why now should I feel ashamed?
Build me a tomb, a sarcophagus
Something to look forward to
In the end when all comes down
Weep with the call
With the fading
With the avalanche
I am going now
To be waiting
In silence
Forever and ever dreaming
Elevating
Fall for sweetest of dreams
Without awakening
No awakening
5. Gloria
It's warlike
In the streetlight
And we elbow our way through the pale night
It's everybody elses dream
But not mine
I'm not that kind
Warlike
In the streetlight
And things got a little impolite
What I said I won't remember
But the answer kicked the flame
The snap-lock
And the peacock
Librettos never promised that much luck
Push always comes to shove
And we're dancing in red and blue corners
The bomb dropped
And the horde rocked
Boom! They all know I got knocked
It's me against the seven dwarfs
Yea call it a setback
And you tie everyone around you
And you sing and pull the strings
And take 'em all down
You've tied everyone around you
Just a thing to mask the slain
You took 'em all down
Warlike
In the streetlight
6. Aerophobic
7. The Hole We Are In
A fire grew in the snow,
in the cold,
in the yard
will this be ever named in an appendix?
took some time to figure out
what it would mean
that maybe i was blinded by a sheen
smelled like me
smelled like you
smelled like the things that we've been into
the dare a leap off to sweep
to get rid of square
disbelief to have tried
to have lied
to have slipped and get back on your feet
we have it all down in your hole
dancing with the shadows
8. Save the Past
So here we stand the day has come
The hit was hard and long the run
As long as it might take me I want to come home
To the place to go
A note that said it's overdue
Had a thought but too much else to do
What's left now is all but quicksand
And I want to come home
The place to go
I knew It'd come eventually
The letter folded carefully
For all it's worth I missed you too and coming back home
The place to go
Here we go and save the past
Up the sails we are off at last
Here we go and save the past
Starboards on we are off at last
Is it true that she went silently
In the end that she went peacefully
For all it's worth
I miss her too and coming back home
Here we go and save the past
Haven't I saved it all at last?
9. Lava
10. Too Many Broken Cease Fires
Pounding sheep leaves
But keep the gun
While I'm dreaming in the sun
Some reasoning
Now tedious in
Now tedious in
I know they come for me
I chose this road now peacefully
I know they come for me and all I do is laugh
Our garden bears a morbid seed to grow
Nursed with tears and boredom
Uncounted broken hopes
I know they come for me
I know they will be back for me
I know they come for me and all I do is laugh
It is written in my eyes
Cast into my forehead
A smile just won't disguise
The end of all our pale dreams
The scent of mischief is sweeping through the room
The scent of joyful days but now they are in doom
I know they come for me
I see this one now peacefully
I know they come for me and all I do is laugh
It is written in your eyes
Cast into your forehead
A smile just won't disguise
The end of all our pale dreams
Our garden bears a morbid seed to grow
Nursed with tears and lies
Myriads of broken hopes
Whatever we have done it all came down to whispers
Forgotten, gone a long lapsed fierce embrace
What happened here?
What happened then?
The scope grew thin
Glares narrowed in
Whatever we have done it all came down to whispers
Now let me go and face the insult
It is written in my eyes
Cast into my forehead
A smile just won't disguise
The end of all our pale dreams
It is written in your eyes
Cast into your forehead
A smile just won't disguise
The end of all our pale dreams
11. Untiefen
This is not some stupid quest
Ciphers come in pairs, and nothing less
I wish I was second best
But I seem to be unlikely, and nothing less
This is not some stupid quest
The touch of inner gloom in the emptiness
I wish I was second best
But I seem to be unlikely, and nothing less
This is not some stupid quest
The hour has grown late, late at last
The line grows thin with every breath
A twinkle in the shadows, in the depth
This is not some stupid quest
I just want to fly beyond the crest
Take some time for a second guess
Time is running short, make me second best
This is not some stupid quest
A twinkle in the shadows, in the depth
The line grew thin with every breath
And then came to rest four seconds past
