Mute Conversation
We’re sliding down the snow hill
Sliding down
Sliding down the slow hill
Sliding down
Our hands bending back
Our mouths full of dirt
Sliding down the snow hill
Sliding down
And I find it hard
So hard for us to speak
And you find it hard
So hard for us to listen
We’re sliding down the snow hill
Sliding down
Sliding down the slow hill
Sliding down
Voices keep on growing
The vision blurs to white
We are sliding down the snow hill
Sliding down
And after all we’re just snowflakes in the sky
And all we know is how water turns to ice
And when your heart is ready to explode
Open your mind come on let it show
We’re sliding down the snow hill
We’re sliding down
And I find it hard
So hard for us to speak
And you find it hard
So hard for us to listen
There’s no reason for speaking
There’s no reason for sleeping
There’s no reason for breathing
Blank nation
You’re looking for a few
I am standing next to
you
Your skin like ivory
the skin like ivory
You, carving a statue
I am posing like an
idiot
Just a blank white
paper
A black pen at my
back
All this talk about the change and
alteration
Of how you are going to change this blank nation
This boredom, monotony
An endless, lonely
grey
Now I knock, knock, knock, knocking on your door
You are too true
I am hollow I am empty
Just a plastic, tiny, grinning, action man
Now I knock, knock, knock, knocking on your door
You are too true
They are hollow, they
are empty
Just a plastic, tiny,
grinning, action man
We’re building a brick house
Against the big bad
wolf
That fur of silver
and gold, that fur of silver and gold
We try to lock the tiny doors
Checking the hallway
and windows
But it huffs, and it
huffs and it puffs
And all is blown down
All this talk about the change and
alteration
Of how you are going to change this blank nation
This boredom,
monotony
An endless, lonely
grey
And now I knock knock knock, knocking on your door
You were too true true true you were too true true
I am hollow I am empty
A plastic, tiny, grinning, action man
You say it is ok, but nothing’s ok
Knockturnal
Lover's sleeping bag
is warm against your
chest
Your father's cadillac
is nothing but the
best
And all your mental cigarettes
Are burning in your
lungs
Your heart, your heart is beating
And screaming run run
run
This night is getting cold
You have to hold her
tight
Tonight you have to
show
That you are old
enough to know
And the city lights are far behind
Stlkrs
Listening to some old
songs, listening to some old songs.
There was a bright light,
it never went out.
I’ve been listening to you
too long.
Our flame is waning, it is
waning too fast.
Our flame is waning so
fast.
‘Cause I wasn’t tough
enough. I wasn’t tough.
You were too strong, too
strong.
And I was just playing at
your backyard out of tune.
And I was just playing at
your backyard out of tune.
Taking a long way home.
You were against me from
the first time, first time we met.
I’m taking care of you, I’m
taking care of you.
Slam the door in your face
again and again and again.
‘Cause I wasn’t tough
enough. I wasn’t tough.
You were too strong, too
strong.
And I was just playing at
your backdoor out of tune.
And I was just playing at
your backdoor out of tune.
You stab me in the
back with a pocket knife.
Try to talk to you but
you won’t listen to me at all.
Don’t you follow me,
don’t you follow me through these streets and lanes and corridors. Through these lanes and corridors.
Don’t you follow me.
Distances
Throw away your database
It's filled with
painful pictures
You are too far
It’s easier to disagree
Than to agree
You are too far
Small motels and motorways
Neon lights and
sandwich boards
You are too far from
me
Paper cups, instant coffee
Cheap muffins and a
real TV
We are divided there’s a wall
We are separated there’s a well
And you are there
I burn my books of hatred
I destroy my grapes
of wrath
You are too far
I sell my rotten houses
Throw away my vulgar
paintings
You are too far
I crash my father’s hummer
Rip down my neon
curtains
You are too far
I destroy and destroy and destroy
We are divided there's a wall
We are separated there's a well
And you are there
Cause you destroy us
We are divided there's a wall
We are separated there's a well
We are there
Car Crash Daydream
So you won’t see me anymore
My body leaves the Earth
Melting snowflakes
On my windscreen
Flaming car seats
Broken windows
Empty highway
Who’s screaming?
You didn’t see the
true face
Of my hidden mind
All papers that I wrote
All promises I made
All in vain
There
are no words left to say
I’m saying something anyway
What is vain?
So you won’t see me anymore
My body leaves this Earth
But don’t you forget feed the dog
And wait for my rebirth
Screaming ladies
Weeping children
So deaf to all advice
Just like me
Lost lullabies
Without melodies
You know, I won’t
forget you
I’ll forget myself
All papers that I wrote
All promises I made
All in vain
There
are no words left to say
I’m saying something anyway
What is vain?
All the quiet kiss goodbyes
All sorrow when she dies
All in vain
There are no words left to say
I’m saying something anyway
What is vain?
So you won’t see me anymore
My body leaves this
earth
But don’t you forget
feed the dog
And wait for my
rebirth
Sandcastles
Sandcastles in the sky
High above
We try to reach the
stairs
There’s a mistress, waiting
She wears a silver
cloak
Nightmares from our
head
You dance under dim light
Waiting for gods to
smile upon you
And all your lies
And your whole future
Will be revealed in
the end
All
that we are
All
that you are
It’s
not for us to blame
It’s
not for us to name
All
that we reach
All
that we hate
It’s
not our task to say
It’s
not the reason to stay
Please
take these words take these words away
We dance under dim light
Waiting for gods to
smile upon us
And all our lies
And our whole future
Will be revealed in
the end
Sleeping Lights
Sleeping with you?
It´s not a
question
But there´s a
question mark hanging over you
And when I dream, I dream about you
Until I wake
And
when you bleed, you bleed without me
Until you wake
Wasting the youth?
It’s not an option
Causes there are more
options to choose
Than throw this all
over you
And when I dream, I dream about you
Until I wake
And
when you bleed, you bleed without me
Until you wake
When the lights are sleeping
I smash your head
against the wall
But your eyes are
closing oh too soon
I want to open you
The First Stone
Who’s the monster?
Who are these vermin
under your skin?
Who’s the monster?
Who’s the dull blade
under your skin?
What are you thinking?
Are you thinking that
your life stream is ready to come out?
So I threw the first stone
And you’re the target
So what are you staring
Well,
it’s my only lifeblood
And I’m addicted to it automatically
So what are you waiting?
Who’s the monster?
Who’s that sharp
blade under your skin?
Who’s the monster?
Who’s the rebel under
your skin?
What are you laughing?
Are you laughing ‘cos
your life is as empty as mine?
Who’s the monster?
Who’s that sharp
blade under your skin?
Who’s the monster?
Who’s the addict
under your skin?
Walk Straight
All these clocks are merely ticking backwards
Empty rooms are
spinning
Too much words
Quiet voices calling
me again
The taste of ashtray
in my mouth
Barclay?
Where are my foes and my dear allies?
I need you now, I need you need you now
Dreaming? Am I
dreaming am I sleeping?
This desperation, that’s
my present home
But you will take you me out of the dark
And you will guide me, guide me through
No
need to walk straight, walk straight
No
need to walk straight when I’m with you
Your restful voice is streaming through my ears
It’s shaking my iron cage of fears
And there you are -
you hand me that key
To unlock this iron,
rusty cage of fears
And you will take you me out of the dark
And you will guide me, guide me through
No need to walk straight, walk straight
No need to walk straight when I’m with you
Hold on, don’t fall
And you will guide me, guide me through
No need to walk straight, walk straight
No need to walk
straight when I’m with you
