Light my way 03:44
Light my way in this night- I'm giving all for this. Can I run far from here across the fields? I've given all my faith to you so I can reach a star, But when it seems my eyes are waiting for my tears I'll be gone. Now my voice is clear enough for you to hear. Broken words I saved through all the years. Believe in things I never should I never should have done, But when it seems my eyes are waiting for my tears I'll be gone, I'll be on the run. Then who you are when you keep hiding from everyone? Do you still feel pale? This is your warning sign to find another way. I've been good for many years, but then I felt blue. I have seen my dreams just in my dreams. Memories are grain of dust, or maybe I'm just lost, And the only word I tell you is the only word you never want to hear. My fears are leaving me for now. Then who you are when you keep hiding from everyone? Do you still feel pale? This is your warning sign to find another way. Many roads in front of me and it might take long. Many ways to be free, But I'm scared, but I'm afraid To lose all this affection for you. I have no more confessions, no hesitations - it's you. I never had you for myself. It's just my tears. Then who you are when you keep hiding from everyone? Do you still feel pale? This is your warning sign to find another way, But now you have no one to call to.. it's just my tears. I'm waiting for my tears.

Crush 02:23
I always thought that I would know How to react when I get slow When I crush into the stones. I used to think I can reveal The secrets of my hidden drawers, But now and then I'm not so sure Then I become so insecure I wish I knew myself. Is it the rhythm of my life Or is it something else instead? There is no king and there is no crown, There's not so much of what I found, And there's no rainbow, no. And if there is, I want to know, But if there isn't let me go. This place is crazy, and so am I. I find it hard to define. I always need to go. Oh what a shame this is for me There is no place that I can be.

Whisper without a sound, leave with no warning. Claw your way to the sunset until the evening takes a hold of you. No, you will see no landscape, but your mind is opening a window To the ocean with it's hidden sun. But the eye sees nothing but miracles so inconceivable you'll see There's a beautiful place to be, and I wonder if you'll see it all. Now you're hiding beneath the sky and you walk on the water Stepping through the shadows, and the silence nearly gets you. But the stars are still shining and the sun is rising. When it sometimes seems the days end way before it's dark, But the eye sees nothing but miracles so inconceivable you'll see There's a beautiful place to be, and I wonder if you'll see it all. But somehow revenge was lost in this confusion No one seems to brace it They got tired of illusions, But the land is empty, and the roads keep changing. When you look back you see nothing but a cloud of dust. But the eye sees nothing but miracles so inconceivable you'll see There's a beautiful place to be, and I wonder if you'll see it all. Now you're dreaming of love to come aching for feelings To pull you out of madness out of sadness for a while. But in the end of all these crazy days you'll see no children play here. It's just the silence hidden everywhere. But the eye sees nothing but miracles so inconceivable you'll see There's a beautiful place to be, and I wonder if you'll see it all

Fool 01:44
Pull YOUR HEAD YOU FOOL STOP PLAYING DEAD YOU LIVE ALONE YOU LIVE WITH AN INNER VOICE THAT KEEPS patting ON YOUR BACK WHEN YOU'RE THROUGH WITH THE HARD TIMES THEN YOU CHOOSE TO OBEY THE GOD YOU CREATED FOR YOURSELF YOU FED HIM WITH YOUR HANDS AND HE'S THE ONE YOU CREATED FOR YOURSELF BUT NOW HE'S PUSHING YOU AWAY YOU FOOL

Farewell 03:54
Do you want to live? Do you want to breathe? Do you want to give me your soul? Do you want to be with me? Do you want to be at all? Cover my face with your hands, Cover me all. Why won't you stay? Why won't you turn away? Take me up, Take me back.

THE MAN IN MY HEAD Someone lives in my head I don't think that we've met yet We have no communication He moves it in his own way I want to meet the man in my head I want to see the man in my head Cynical words he says are causing me a headache He's forcing me to behave like I shouldn't behave Who is the man who sleeps in my head? And who is the man I should be afraid of?

Maze 04:27
It's a never out maze It's a never end piece of art Lies, in a safe we can't break. It's not giving us time To take the turn from the start, And to prepare for the long lasting night. We are getting close to the end of the light. It's a critical phase It's the meaningless ways we have tried To become something good, To feel when we fight Until the end of this ride. As if it really makes a difference Which might Turn us all for a different kind. Untie my hands Unleash the crowd, don't drop the bomb. We have lost all the power and trust We are kneeling on the sand now We're moving fast towards nothing We can have, But instead we're forgetting everything That we had. And I know how you feel Yes, I know how you feel about this, And how you truly believed There is no way turning back. "Are we there yet?" - you ask, But the look in your eyes makes a crack on the floor that I'm standing on. It's a critical phase It's the meaningless ways we have tried, To become something good To feel when we fight Until the end of this ride. As if it really makes a difference Which might Turn us all for a different kind. Will we ever rise again before we'll find our way back home?

I'm burning like a burning man I'm floating lighter than the air I'm counting every fucking minute Is this the life I'd choose for me Is it the truth or is it me? I'm carefully committed. I can confess just to myself I can't refuse to who I am But who I am is who I am Perhaps it's time to come clean, to move on The treatment might be painful. Dreadful. And where is my blue sky? And through the dark it's you I see into the night We'll have no fear. I'm getting easily diminished I'm giving up on you my friend I'm letting go 'cause you won't stand I'm not asking your permission. I must reveal the golden egg Before my luck closes its gate I'm asking for consideration. This twilight zone is not for me I move on The treatment might be painful. Dreadful. And where is my blue sky Give me some of this life Let me be Let me fly high

Hold on 03:32
HOLD ON I'm waiting for the black coated man To take me for a long walk. For so long it has seemed there's nothing real. How can I love myself this way? How can I be the ghost I am? The furious winter is on its way, And I need someone to save my day Hold on. I'm waiting for the black coated man I'm waiting until there's no one, No one to show me how it ends. I'm curious where I will end up, And how many soldiers have I lost. Maybe I'm locked inside my cage Or maybe I'm digging my own grave Hold on. ***********
