SHIVERS
04:20
|
|||
Call to me, draw me in
Rekindle my touch on burning skin
Snakebite me deep
From my blindside in my sleep
Bite my lip, give me shivers
No lone candle but a wild fire
Scare me, make me doubt
Feelings racing in and out
Hush the word, dress to kill
I surrender my free will
Strip my soul until I shiver
Heart and mind caught in the crossfire
I push and pull, I'm burning out
I push and pull then ask for more,
Drifting away South of no North
Shake my world to the core
I check my conscience at your door
Eat my heart, bite my tongue
I'm losing my sense of right and wrong
Shaking off these shivers
My hands are tied with live wire
I push and pull, I'm burning out
I push and pull then ask for more,
Drifting away South of no North.

IT'S BEEN TOO LONG
06:04
|

It’s been too long
Since I’ve felt grass under my feet
Days are heavy
I need a break from all this concrete
I spent too long in a world
Without natural light
Let’s catch early birds
In full morning flight
It’s been too long
Since I got lost in new silence
Show me a sky where I’ll see
Dead stars go the distance
Show me that sun in you
No matter what you carry behind
I’l split my moon in two
And relearn to be kind
Show me a way
To borrow this Earth with strangers
It’s been too long since I saw
The moon from under water
I’m trying to chase
The evil twins who claim my body
Leave with me, let’s escape
Skin to skin faraway
Show me that sun in you
No matter what you carry behind
I’l split my moon in two
And relearn to be kind
I can’t see
What you see in me
Let me see
What you see in me
Let me hear
What you see in me
in broken whispers
(It’s been too long)
(It’s been too long)
Show me that sun in you
No matter what you carry behind
I’l split my moon in two
And relearn to be kind
I can’t see
What you see in me
Let me see
What you see in me
Let me hear
What you see in me
in broken whispers
(It’s been too long)
(It’s been too long)
(It’s been too long)
(It’s been too long)

MAN ON A MISSION
04:42
|
|||
This is a man on a mission
With a chip on his shoulder
No need to call him “brother”
It’s better left unspoken
Needing some way to feel alive
Where boy and man collide
They could chase us around for miles
We may be losers but we’ve got style
Who needs blood
When there’s one road
Who needs words
When there’s one soul
Joined at the hip against the world
This is a man on a mission
He carries love like a burden
Slamming doors with primal screams
And a fistful of teenage dreams
Crossing paths and splitting roads
Follow an unspoken code
Gloves are off, the bottle dry
Lies by day but truth at night
Who needs blood
When there’s one road
Who needs words
When there’s one soul
Joined at the hip against the world
With dangerous intentions
And no real world ambition
He won’t take yes for an answer
Happiness is way too bitter
Who needs blood
When there’s one road
Who needs words
When there’s one soul
Joined at the hip against the world
We’re burning the morning after
We’re burning the morning after

NO WORD FOR GOODBYE
04:22
|
|||
A state to shake
Nothing left to fake
Just another skin to shed
In my own bed
Too many nights in a row
I need a new town to borrow
Rootless and free
This old soil under me
Barefoot on a foreign cloud
Sing out loud
Make the last mile
Like some pilgrim with a tired smile
No word, no word for goodbye, no, no, no
Walking, letting life happen and take over
and take over
One more short stay
And long goodbyes
I am just a passerby
Bluffing my way
From town to nation
I am lost in translation (with)
No word, no word for goodbye, no, no, no
Walking, letting life happen and take over
and take over
Until we meet again,
Until we meet again,
With no past, no future
Until we meet again
Until we meet again
I’m just a passerby
With no word for goodbye
I’m just a passerby
With no word for goodbye
With no word for goodbye

NEW WAVE DRIVE
04:00
|
|||
There are no friends on the road
Just the good, the bad and the broken
Racing to break even
But no friends on the road
You can walk, stroll and run
Under pressure to have fun
You can use, reuse and discard
But don’t you be too hard
No, don’t you be too hard
We’ll split and sever
And I’ll run forever
Like a night-hunter,
A restless drifter, a lonely driver
Watch me, watch over me, take me anywhere
I won’t ask, you won’t say
But that smell won’t go away
Pretend that you care
Pretend that you care
We’re all friends at this hour
Now’s your chance to whisper
Your own unspeakable
Mercy for the feeble
Watch me, watch over me, want me if you dare
One more late escape
Watch me escape fate
Pretend that you care
Pretend that you care
I’m speeding solo
Nose glued to my window
I’m burning mean streets
From the edge of my seat
Drunk losers out for fights
Cross-dressed angels light up the night
Sidewalk prophets
Quote holy books like men possessed
So I drive past the docks by the riverside
I drive, drive and drive up the mountainside
And you scream from the other side of the universe
Relive your whole life in reverse
And you scream from the other side of the universe
Relive your whole life in reverse
So I drive and I drive,
I drive and you ride,
I drive and you ride
On this New-Wave drive
On this New-Wave drive
