meet me by the sea at midnight if you belong to me they will cease fire looking for the signs that I’ve left behind first, turn the tide then turn to the right there’s dust upon your shoes don’t you wipe that away you know, a piece of home can take you a long way meet me around the hour that halves the night defences fall down as we cease to lie looking through the dark will you sense the charm please, forget to die that ain’t what you are i trust in your hands they can wipe right away all that may have hurt and the scarves start to fade, fade... i trust in your hands as they show me the way look me up and down as we dance stay close

Now we know the way to trust that flame They ceased fire and now it’s reborn in our veins We lift stones against gravity We do appreciate insanity This is how we grow young Day by day Yeah, now we know the way to trust that flame They ceased fire and now it’s reborn in our veins We lift stones against gravity We do appreciate insanity This is how we grow young Day by day Meet me by the sea At midnight If you belong to me They will cease fire (Ceasefire!) I trust in your hands They can wipe right away All that ever hurt And the scarves fade, fade, fade (Ceasefire!!!) I trust in your hands No, I won’t run away Just wake me up When we’ve learnt to discern

Bruises 04:48
I've shown you rainbows But you're color-blind Who only sees the rain Well, I don't blame you But most of the time I don't like it that way Why do you want to Know what I have? Why not what I need? It's Damocles' sword above our heads? And a million mouths to feed... I tap my fingers as the world goes by I would love to live but this life ain't mine Yeah, sure, mess dissipates And it's all right If I get bruises I've shown you thunder But you're deaf and blind At least you feel the rain You know what, I don't care about How high we climb I care about all that remained As my head runs Free of those bugs I cultivate my needs I dip my toes in Beautiful mud And my pillows are Soft as silk I tap my fingers as the world goes by I would love to live But this life ain't mine Sure, mess dissipates And it's all right I tap my fingers as the world goes by I would love to learn But that life ain't mine Sure, mess dissipates And it's all right If I get bruises From you

Sally, what you want is good for me Believe or not, now I believe in You and I, I and I... I'll follow, follow you through this hollow Because I know, you know what we're here for But tell it to me loud (I listen, I listen) You must tell me IF SHE SAYS, IT CAN BE DONE IF SHE SAYS, THE BATTLE IS WON PLEASE TELL ME WHERE THE HELL DO WE RUN If I don't hurt nobody And I love everybody Do I MEAN IT!? Sell me, if you need money, don't delay If you've got secrets, well, I can keep them from coming alive, I , I... Love you so, but I'll never let you know Because I know, you know what we're worth Human 2in1 Together we should run IF SHE SAYS, IT CAN BE DONE IF SHE SAYS, THE BATTLE IS WON PLEASE TELL ME WHERE THE HELL DO WE RUN If I don't hurt nobody Do I love everybody Do I MEAN IT!?!? Do I?

In Another 05:14
believe or leave now that’s all I’m saying our strong heart cannot fail love that helps you out that’s what you’ve waited for yes, one day, we all break away... this life you may choose to stay in another you’d break away in this life you’re a slave of time but in another a kiss slows you down in another... in another... i don’t know why it takes so many lives to live live, love and give always wonder how we people get stuck for so long see, the fireflies, they don’t give up on burning all night, though their days end soon, God helps them out, as the tiny sparks make love until dawn in this life you may need to pray and in another you’ll loose your way this time you can tame the wild and in another you’d blame God and fight i don’t know why it takes so many lives to live live, love and give always wonder how we people get stuck for so long no, I don’t know... this time I may choose to stay to live as one

Going back to when your life felt so deadly that you wished it to stop there, it hurt so much... Well, returning back there is precious time wasted as the ropes of self-hatred could gently tie you up... GO BACK TO WHERE ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE GO BACK AND FEEL THAT SMILING’S IRRESISTABLE JUST FIND THE TIME AND SPACE WHERE IT FEEL UNQUESTIONABLY FINE, IN LINE, GET OUT OUT OF YOUR MIND! Going back to when you're baffled When creepy creatures grabbed your back for any faults they could find So why would you go there? Is that a rifle held against your head? Well, no-one knows but you're holding onto that... GO BACK TO WHERE ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE GO BACK AND FEEL THAT SMILING’S IRRESISTABLE JUST FIND THE TIME AND SPACE WHERE IT FEEL UNQUESTIONABLY FINE, IN LINE, GET OUT OUT OF YOUR MIND! Go there for joy Go there for relief Go there for all For all you need...

There is Mercy in a Fearless Womb There is Cruelty in long-lasting Gloom I felt defeated when you left my Room But I’m the kind that heals very soon... For there is Bravery in all high-heeled Shoes And there is Freedom in a poor man’s Purse There’s a Prayer we once knew “Whatever shall be given, we thank You!” And when the days become too calm Thoughts subside, except their overtone When the days become too quiet You feel a raging inner riot And it’s true what We always knew... There is Mercy in a Heartfelt Roar And there is Freedom in a chained man’s Soul Danger and Frailty in all Right and Wrong But I know we all have a seed to sow And when the Days become too calm Thoughts subside except their overtone When the days become too quiet You feel a raging inner riot And when the Minds become too small Thoughts collide and start to swing and roll When Fine Words become an Achievement Offering Trophies you never believed in There is Mercy in a Fearless Womb And there is Patience within a Cocoon...

reStart 04:20
Oh, dear Love I don’t know how the story unfolds You’ve used all the hot and left me cold I am a fool And too grateful Though, it’s fairly simple Like misbehaving for a child Oh, why can’t I? How could I...? Darling, do we dare to live better? Let’s do it fast, it’s almost December Now a wise man would not Cast that first rock But when I enjoy the turbulence I can’t conceal that So when I do not wanna pay attention You’re free to pull my hair Should I become too obedient Don’t leave me like that Let me draw again, Another card or Hang me upside down I count 3-2-1-0 Just find my RESTART!
