What if for this one time
It would all come true
The dreams of Mediterranean scenes
Of bliss and wistfulness
Where I'd close my eyes
And dance with the angels of light
And when the clouds collide
It will be like like church bells tolling far away
But if this time
The skies would stay clean
And the erratic steps we took
Wouldn't lead us here
I don't know what to do but remember that
Extra happy or super sad
Don't look back
But close your eyes
Dance with the angels of light
And when the clouds collide
It will be like church bells tolling far away
Soon, we'll be there soon
And when the search for happiness is done
I swear we'll both taste the sun

Raspberry

Summer on her side
A fleeting glance of a baby blue sky
The one that her eyes blend into all the time
Sooner come the rains before her smile
Here she comes again, here she comes again
Blowing raspberries
All of of earth's lost time
Entombed and loveless in her hide
The chirping of insects is always nigh
As she tells me tales of the, of the end of time
Here she comes again...
Lilies in her raven hair
Sing with the wind a song of utter despair
No matter what she says, she says that she's not mine
With summer on her side
Here she comes again...

Down
02:50
|

|
The grass is leaning East
Songs of birds in a gentle breeze
It's sad I'm going away
To a place where no-one else should stay
And I'll be there for so long, until all time is gone
And I'll be there for so long, until all life is gone
Through a wavy view
That's how I see you and I know it's wrong
But you're having fun
And I'm feeling bummed and I don't know if
Anything is worth a while, I wish that I could cry
I am so sad and alone, I dreamed that I could be I
Feel like fading away
To that sea of light see there, that way
But you're walking away
And I keep going down, down, down...

Amaryllis

If I were you
I'd travel around the world
To Paris and Tokyo
Why wouldn't you go
I would smell the amaryllis
In the evening air
And push my face to a pillow
And not breathe
But that's just me
If I were you
I'd travel around the world
To Paris and Tokyo
I've heard it's nice out there
This time of year
But you know that
I can't breathe
The air out there
But you shouldn't care (oh yeah)
And as I preemptively say goodbye
"Hey, when is your flight?"
To Paris or Tokyo
Well you could just go and fly
And I can stay here and lie down
In my grave of fireflies
I guess I'll see you in spring sometime

Apathy
05:30
|

Don't you dare to talk to me
I've found a friend in apathy
The last pearl of the seas
It took all this time to know
All that glitters is gold
Just out of my reach
And I will let you down
And I will let you down
If all is what I perceive
There never was nothing for me
Well what do I know
And I ain't talking about innocence lost
Or permafrost --- mere apathy
And I will let you down
And I will let you down
With now countless hours gone
It said "this here will be all, for all time"
And if not I, then the water of life
Will end it all, will end it all
And I will let you down
And I will let you down

Scythe
07:37

I saw a a picture of you
As a child in my mind
Your three-feet candy cane
Stuck out of the train window
All in black and white
Please bring on your cherry scythe
The shells are dropping from each side
Day by day, night by night
(mm-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-da-do-ow)
Give me colour show me light
Cause beauty is our master and not time
The silence falls hard on me now
And I remember, that the secret of this forest
Was only for you and me
When will we be alone my love
Please bring on your cherry scythe
Ascending towards the stars we ride
Hand in hand, you and I
(mm-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-da-do-ow)
Give me colour show me light
Cause beauty is our master and not life
