Animal

I’m laying on the shore, letting my head go
Silent waves around
Silent waves around
I saw the shipwreck, I heard the sea
And there was an animal
And there was an animal
I heard the curfew, saw the afterglow
The moon lights the path
The moon lights the path
I walk in its steps, don’t know where i’m going
She's dripping with blood
She's dripping with blood
I feel like an animal walking in the cold
your headlights are my only day
I feel like an animal walking in the cold
and your blood is guiding my way
I hope to see her shape, waiting in the snow
I know I will find her
But not in what form
For now i go insane, let the ocean glow
Let the ocean glow
I feel like an animal walking in the cold
your headlights are my only day
I feel like an animal walking in the cold
and your blood is guiding my way
She knows when i'm alone, when i'm alone, when i'm alone ...
that I'm an animal
I'm an animal
I'm an animal

you know it’s too hard to live with yourself
so you pass the time
you run away
you know it's too hard to do your best
so you lose your sight
and drift off the way
from ocean to ocean
from peak to peak
from mountain to mountain
from fear to fear
from island to island
from to sea to sea
my last opponent is me
you know you can try hard, and live with yourself
don't pass the time,
don't run away
you know you can try hard, and do your best
don't lose your sight
don't drift off the way
I am wading in the moon
I am locked into my room
I am wading in the tides
and I still don't feel alive
from ocean to ocean
from peak to peak
from mountain to mountain
from fear to fear
tell me what you found
so deep
tell me what you hide
and keep
you know that it’s too hard to live with yourself
so you pass the time
you run away

Clockwork
05:18
|

They say I’ve gone insane
they wonder about what my life has become
it’s for the lights that I wait
for the hours alone
They say i've gone berserk
I still wonder if they're right
I’ve been pulled off my own clockwork
I’ve been forced into a fight
And spinning in the darkness
in the utmost unknown
I made my own vortex
and dove into the flow
I’m searching for an answer
in the light of day
parallel lines and wide blue skies
the birds in the morning haze
so if you search for me
in moments of doubt
i’ll be chasing a flying kite
i’ll be wasting my time

let’s lose ourselves
in this strange dance again
to the place of no return
down the alley
a woman is stuck in the heat
the underworld awaits
with my hidden deities
deep inside my skin
there’s the sound of war drums
played by a million slaves
all my very own doubts
let’s lose ourselves
in this strange dance again
to the place of no return
the poison in the arrows
we are water monsters
trapped in this dark blue vault
in this desire
growing in the rivers
all your different monsters
all waiting to be free
just let go of your ghosts
let go of your fears
I want you
(The fire and the war)
but do I need you ?
(I’m lying on the floor)
oh I want you
(the one i secretly adore)
but do I need you ?
(is knocking at my door)
oh come on now
can we bloom now ?
can we bloom now ?
come on, come on, can we bloom now ?
let’s lose ourselves
in this strange dance again
to the place of no return
the poison in the arrows
we are water monsters
trapped in this dark blue vault
in this desire
let's lose ourselves
and lose ourselves again

here’s how we created a perfect lie
i saw you wandering through the night
and said “from now on i’ll live in the dark,
from now on i’ll fear the purest light”
noctyl
noctyl
i saw you through the window
sleepwalking in the cold
in the darkness of your home
were you alone ? were you alone ?
are you living inside your own ghost ?
winter in your heart with a shattered soul
in secret, do you dream of me ?
like i do
about you
here’s how we created a perfect lie
i saw you wandering through the night
from now on we’ll live in the dark
from now on we’ll fear the purest light
noctyl
noctyl
we escape into this secret world
loving in a place we won’t disclose
away from all the daylight fires
but now
night is falling
can you hear me coming ?

Dismal #2 (Secret Choir)
04:10
|
|||
|
I finally made it
I made it to the top
but something here feels wrong
and I can’t stop moving now
I’m circling around the pit with
a blindfold on my eyes
my treasures are not rare enough
I need her golden cave
to reach beyond death
fire coming from my mouth
a beautiful surprise
but I can't let it go now
this frail power that she might contain
this beauty undamaged
she's my secret choir
maybe we will reunite
and sing along every night
then let these secrets disappear
and we'll be like a flock of birds
we'll never come down to earth
one gun blowing us away

Departures

If I lay here I stay
my words are from the highways
I always wanted wide and blue escapes
but through the years they always said :
"listen to the mountains grow"
now I’m living by the sea
I forgot my old family
will I come back for them ?
and live with what happened back then ?
now we're all hoping for rest
I fall asleep
and dream of a tilted life
time travelling
under the palm trees
I will forget them
for real
until we spin into the colors
until we rip off all the layers
admiring what never went wrong
until we build a home and sing songs
until we find something inspiring under a loving arm.
