"I know a girl, she lives in her head
World’s been cruel to her, she hides in her bed
Scared of the people, she stays on her own
Don’t try to reach her, she soon will be gone
She closes her eyes when she feels down
Tears that she cries are her night-time gown
She carries her favourite books, and by the way that she looks, you’d say she’s from a different planet
Quite full of wonders, she looks up the sky
Strange feels upon her, she soon starts to cry
So she flies up the cloudy skies
Where the lonely angels cry for her soul
‘Cause she reached her goal, and she will be gone
She reached her goal, and now she’s gone"

Of lost children

"I am marching the lands with hope in my hands, and the water’s flowing far
Saw a girl in the grass, said she’s growing too fast, she forgot her lullaby
Don’t rush it, little one
What are you going to do with the days ahead of you?
Don’t rush it, little one
What are you going to do?
The girl is standing now, she’s walking, looking in my eyes, she says:
“On the edge of the world, there’s a wise man to serve all the hopeless wandering souls
When I get to his side, he will rise up and guide me to find the path I chose
I’ll rush ‘til the morning Sun rises above the mountains, and then soon I’ll come back home
I’ll rush ‘til the morning Sun rises above the mountains
And you should follow in the morning, I’ll have a little talk with the great-old Moon”
She said:
“Follow”

Devils of the daylight

"Fear the devils of the midnight
Their voices lie
Fear the devils of the daylight
When the waters dry
(out-dry-out-dry)
Fear the devils of the midnight
Fear the waters, too
Though they seem tenderly
I see right through them"

Morning scars
03:52
|

|
"Tracing the scar on your fading soul
Over and over, in the sea of emotion
Nowhere to go when the morning’s cold
Chasing the light of the Sun, of the Sun
Never even noticed that you’ve got out of the sight (you’ve got out of sight)
Never even noticed that you’ve got out of the sight, sight, sight
Something that I never say
Something that I never say
Something that I never say
Something that I never say
Haunts me ‘til morning
Haunts me ‘til morning comes
I try not to breathe in all the lies you’ve said
There’s blood in my mouth
And the memories shattered
Everyone says it will go away
Bury them deep in the ground, in the ground
Never even noticed that you’ve got out of the sight (you’ve got out of sight)
Never even noticed that you’ve got out of the sight, sight, sight
Tracing all your scars (aah)
When the morning’s cold"

Interlude

"My desires have been listened to
And most of the butterflies stood by
And every day I change my point of view
On the way I visualise my tomorrows
And maybe I used to be much colder than I need to be, hm
But maybe times like these are over,
‘cause you let my cry on your shoulder
Whenever I want to
Whenever I need to
Whenever I try to
Show you all my emotions,
My tears come in oceans
But you sing them lullabies
With your love
With your patience,
Your soul
Your love
With your patience,
Your soul"

Tangled in webs
03:00
|
|||
|
"Dark clouds up the sky
Cold wind, birds can’t fly
Spider hanging on its web is swinging side to side, side
Gentle touch, words softly spoken
Felt too much, a heart’s been broken
Mind got lost, and eyes got watered
A body’s fallen down, and shattered in the air...
Found a hole in the ceiling
Crawled right in to lose the feeling
Wandered far, oh very far
The distance covered who we are
But do you care? Do you care?
Tangled in webs, in the shadows
Holding me down is a sin
Soldiers are far, but the little one knows
The battles are yet to begin, begin"

Suddenly
03:16
|

|
"Cast away all the memories
Let them be, somehow
All that we were was a misery
Leading us far away
Isn’t it funny how you give yourself to me?
Suddenly
And all your worries found a way to set them free
Suddenly
Make me sure there’s another way
To go over this, somehow
All that we were was a memory
Begging us hard to stay
Isn’t it funny how you give yourself to me?
Suddenly
And all your worries found a way to set them free
Suddenly
Going down…"

"Dark clouds up the sky

Over the sea
02:29

"Over the sea
I am rushing through, my love
Hoping that you'll find me, and that I’m enough
Over the sea, I heal
All the wounds I cannot hide from you,
All is with the wind, and in the sea, sea..
Sharp as the Sun,
That is shining through my heart (through my heart, through my heart)
Cast a light into the cold, blue night (through my heart, through my heart)
And over the sea, I heal
All the sorrows that I cannot leave behind,
And all the lies I cannot see, see..
Jealousy is the only one, that leads you in the dark heart of the sea.."

Bruises

"Put down my mirrors just for you
I cannot look at myself
I cannot look at myself
And afterall, those demons grew
I cannot stand myself
I cannot stand myself
Threw me on the kitchen floor
And hit me harder than before
I'm healing
I'm healing
And if the bruises tell the truth
I better watch my every move
I'm healing
I'm healing, too
It hurts to realize there’s been more like you
But people are hard on themselves
People are hard on themselves
Eating the lies, and relying on another fool
Are people aware of themselves?
Are people aware of themselves?
Pulled me back, and once again
There’s nothing coming slower than
The healing
I’m healing
And if the bruises tell the truth
I better watch my every move
I'm healing
I'm healing, too
But I’m never falling down again, again
I’m healing, too"

Masquerade
04:10

|
,,Maybe we don’t change at all
Hide it in, and close the door
And as the Sun is shining through
I’m reaching further, and further, and further for you
Are we there yet, on the Masquerade?
Colors ‘round in every shade
Who is here, and who is late?
Collect every single tear
You can have your souvenir
Final days are getting near
(ooh - ah)
Haven’t I told you ever since
(Told you ever since)
That you could cut of all my limbs, and I’d be grateful
And as the river speaks to you
You hear a lie, and it’s dragging you down
Are you really a fool?
Are we there yet, on the Masquerade?
Colors ‘round in every shade
Who is here, and who is late?
Collect every single tear
You can have your souvenir
Final days are getting near
(ooh - ah)''
