Winter (Coming for You)
04:36
|
|||
|
Old sores break open on my head
A life that’s hanging on a thread
The search for answers in the sand is fruitless.
There was a reassuring spark
A lighthouse flicker in the dark
The fingers clutching at the heart leave bruises.
The him that you once used to own
Dissolved into a stormy dawn
From love to love he’s sailing on so rushing.
I cannot tell myself from him
My usual me torn at the seams
The wall is high and I can’t seem to crush it.
Chorus:
October pitiless aurulent teardrops.
Cutting the bosom upon their descent
Wish someone told me how come I deserve this
So I could breathe easy as I comprehend.
With no one to share your dark meditation
The calendar pages give a bothering clue
As you go on with your lone lamentation
Tomorrow a winter is coming for you.
This wire I break with plans afoot
To leave it and forget for good
But I already can’t elude this downfall.
Now there’s no use to say a word
Or vision the forthcoming world
Perhaps he wasn’t fit at all to get her.

Artist
03:10
|
|||
|
Uninhibited artist, my road is the roughest
Adrenaline fills my vein
I’m a rose on the wayside, yogi’s trail of razors
I’m the genie gone unretained.
I’m the chip on the grass, the robin behind your glass
The runway toward the high
I’m the voice on the tape, your idol-featuring paper
But you will have to open your eyes.
Chorus:
You will need your eyes open wide
You will need your eyes open wide
You will need your eyes open wide
So you see all of me,
so you see all, you see all of me.
Cannot be taken hold of, cannot ever be chased down
I’m a rocket that lines your sky
Whatever I now possess I’ll take with me to my quest
And the costs will be paid off all right.
By the storm I am hardened, ever dazzled yet ardent
I’ll never accept demise
But if you have the guts and if that’s your desire
Please ever glance into my eyes.

Losing You
04:10
|
|||
|
Intimate notions you bear in your mind
For me to reveal, for me to reveal
I want to do my best, I want to know
What it is that you think of me.
And maybe I’m better off gone
One word – and I’ll conveniently flee
Dissolving at the start of the road
Forever apart from you – fine by me.
I’m losing you babe, I’m losing you babe
An apparition arose in the heat
To flicker with censure and thaw in the tar
It seems like you are still waiting amidst
The shards of a world that used to be ours.
And maybe I’m better off gone
One word – and I’ll conveniently flee
We’re spiraling down and it won’t be long
Till we’re left on the bottom all stained by our grief.
I’m losing you babe, I’m losing you babe
Your dear trail I’ve been trying to shroud
Fiddling flowers and billets-doux
Bottle by bottle driving you out
Forgot who sends me the letters and who brings them too.
And maybe I’m better off gone
One word – and I’ll conveniently flee
Dissolving at the start of the road
Forever apart from you – fine by me.

Cowboy
03:34
|
|||
|
The vermillion glow of the prairies
Like a razor’s edge to the eye
A man in a worn-out Stetson
Runs low on his meagre supplies.
A single bullet remaining
His horse is barely alive
The deepest kind of slumber
Delivered by a 45.
Chorus:
Old on his ranch, the cowboy
Lonesome the tune he’s singing
Tired on his ranch, the cowboy
Don’t care what the new day is bringing.
Coyotes run around in packs
With their fangs bare in hungry spite
The cowboy won’t die by their bite
He’d take you over in a fight.
But with his lasso he now can
Hardly seize any lady’s glance
His boots only tread the dust
The harness hurts his own hands.
Chorus:
Foul on his ranch, the cowboy
Lonesome the tune he’s singing
Drunk on his ranch, the cowboy
Don’t care what the new day is bringing.
Saloons, spirits, and gun-fights
The smell of bills, glitter of gold,
Those languid damsels are smiling
While the rivals must hit the road
Bitter whisky and savory tacos
Prone to tremendous blunders
He fears not many chances to rest
Belly-up, six feet under.

Time of July
04:52
|
|||
|
Now gone are the whirlwinds, gone are the mountains
The sun of July will set but once more
Bullets of silver race for a bounty
Funnily worth one’s destiny torn.
Treacherous redness burns on the eyelid
Salt on the sleeve, new thorns to the heart
Now I am faithless, my hopes were misguided
Choosing which evil rips me apart.
Chorus 1:
Now what was created becomes overwritten
Not easy to tell who we are, where we started
Yesterday’s truth now looks so made up and bitter
The image of us fades out disregarded.
Shutting the blinds tight and fixing them firmly
September marks the coming New Year
You dwell in the streamers and calendars only
Everything perfectly written in there.
Every word is exhausted and broken
Machine translations are of no use
I learn it all, reading into your cursive
But it’s all gone as I lie awake and confused.
Chorus 2:
As if our imagination betrayed us
And none of this happened, it’s all an illusion
The wave coming down on us was so tremendous
But the asphalt’s dry now, it’s safe and so usual.
Chorus 3:
Now somebody else paints on the canvas
My world lies around broken down into segments
Your whereabouts I don’t know anymore
A new heart has come to beat in my core.

Sorcerous Words
04:16
|
|||
|
Wild again is the rhythm, the pulse beats out my excitement
Mу delirious glare scorching those around me
With the sidewalks and the stoplights, empanadas and pizza
The city seethes, hazy the streets are.
‘Cause any one of them can make me violent
Be it a colleague, a boss or a client
A driver or a guard, or someone random
Too many to just lose it and come at them.
Chorus:
When I get sick so much it hurts
I’m salvaged by the sorcerous words
When life is grim, my only source of hope and light are
Sorcerous words
Rats are spinning their wheels, engines pumping with fuel
Here we stand on the verge, vision ever so blurry
Grin and bear it, hit or miss it, gripping on to our power
Sparking with energy, born to devour.
A handful of words so robust and corrosive
Discard the rest as the finest are chosen
Leaping right through is pointless and boring
Dare to begin – it’s a known path to glory.

Somewhere on Mars
04:38
|
|||
|
Lost in the intricate web of her very own lifelines
Finding a way through alternate dimensions, her emails guiding her step
But with her laptop and charm safe in a suitcase, she now seeks no guidance
She’s up for finding new ways on the amorous map
Being tired of having it out with her beloved ones
She let their addresses and numbers rest deep in the trash
While led by a cloud evanescing along the horizon
She’s so full of vigor and ready to dash
Putting away
all the books for the sake
of a brand-new journey
The bridges are cindered,
no smoke floating over the stream
A planet so distant
where sunny days glisten
with truth sempiternal
The sparks of her past
here are swiftly growing so dim, yeah
The good ol’ songs are becoming worn and distorted
The good old friends’ dear faces blurring away
It gets very frightening and sad – but just for a moment
The days to come are so blinding with beauty and grace
With beauty and grace.
A time will come, and somewhere on Mars
We’ll meet to share the days once ours,
We'll play those vinyls again, on and on
And leaving our past behind we’ll then carry on.

In the Teeth of Enemy
03:54
|
|||
|
Dusty roads and head-on airflow
Roaring engines go insane
And in every course there is to travel
There is something calling us again.
Mud or asphalt, doesn’t matter
Sand or swamp – the same for me
Dawn till dusk our wheels shall rattle
In the teeth of our enemy.
Chorus:
Whiskey got me outta my head
I can’t say if I’m alive or dead
All these bumps ensure the groove
Ride it fast so it gets smooth.
Hey come on dudes circle up
Rock it hard until you drop
Rock AND roll, well, that’s our job!
Changing cities, changing venues
We are ready, lights are out
Stunning tunes on today’s menu
Let that bass blow up the crowd.
Our feast shall not be ended
By whatever luck and means
Rock arising from its cinders
In the teeth of our enemy.
Chorus:
Whiskey got me outta my head
I can’t say if I’m alive or dead
All these bumps ensure the groove
Ride it fast so it gets smooth.
Hey come on dudes circle up
Rock it hard until you drop
Rock AND roll, well, that’s our job!

Far Away
04:06
|
|||
|
I can hardly breathe
for damned loneliness
All my thoughts are dark
and disturbed
Sun has turned to be
a black and endless hole
All my sleep has gone,
mind is blurred.
CHORUS:
On the other end, far away
I am alone burning away
All that we had now expired
I am an alien in your life.
And the lifeline got fully messed-up
I don’t know how to glue back the cup
Time has come to cut this knot and wake up
Miles of days and nights
turned to road dust
I’ve been waiting for so long
But with tears, you won’t
put the fire out
Gonna lock forever this door.
CHORUS:
On the other end, far away
I am alone burning away
All that we had now expired
I am an alien in your life.
And the lifeline got fully messed-up
I don’t know how to glue back the cup
Time has come to cut this knot and wake up

The Era
04:24
|
|||
|
Tiny pebbles
Are but relics of what
was once a towering cliff
Years they taunt us
They flow as we have
only so much to live
We can’t stop
The imminent course
of the hands on the dial
Hard to take it
Everything passes,
and this term will expire.
You and me,
Enlightened just before
an era would end
No veneer
Of wavering flags
may lure us again
Through fires and floods
We walk bold
and undisturbed
All will be gone
Will vanish the world,
but we are eternal
You and me…
Just you and me…

Dream is Over
04:08
|
|||
|
I see the power,
Changing hands
Rising from the streets
A self-made businessman,
Knows how the system can be beat.
Oh, we're the lost generation,
Have no place to go,
The road to destruction,
Is all we need to know.
Cause it's a rip off,
We're stripped, drawn, and cheated,
We're flat stone cold lied to
But we're not defeated,
Nooo, sir.
Easy money,
It's your way out,
Join the Family
No middleman,
No I.R.S.
Your ticket out of poverty.
Oh, we're the lost generation,
I hold fate from a string
Looking for direction
Reaching out for anything, so
Dream another dream,
this dream is over (oooh oooh oh)
Dream another dream,
this dream is over
(dream another dream)
Dream another dream,
this dream is over
(oooh oooh oh) oh
Dream another dream,
this dream is over, over yeah
So dream another dream.
Ah, Yeow!!!!
Oh, it's a rip off,
We're stepped on an' cheated,
Flat stone cold lied to,
We're not defeated, noooo.
Dream another dream,
this dream is over (oooh oooh oh)
Dream another dream,
this dream is over
(dream another dream)
Dream another dream,
this dream is over
(oooh oooh oh) oh
Dream another dream,
this dream is over, over yeah
So dream another dream.
