Trigger

Spining through the day
Waiting to ascend
The present is a present
Confusions and mistakes
Emotions poured all over
But balance is the key
Sometimes you can’t control them
Deciding makes me weak.
There isn’t a soul in the things that matter to most.
(I pull the trigger oh no!)
Sailing the void there is no notion or current that pulls.
(I pull the trigger oh no!)
Withered bent over the vase is the new way to pose.
(I pull the trigger oh no!)
Seek for a way to be free liberating your soul.
oh...
Spining all the way
I thought of yesterday
Waiting to be made
A choice decides the fate
Sailing the void there is no notion or current that pulls.
(I pull the trigger oh no!)
Seek for a way to be free liberating your soul.
(I pull the trigger oh no!)
They say all comes back to you.
They say all comes back to you.
Digging up the grave
For memories to lay
Withered bent over the vase is the new way to pose.
(I pull the trigger oh no!)
Seek for a way to be free liberating your soul.
(I pull the trigger oh no!)
They say all comes back to you.
They say all comes back to you.
They say all comes back to you.
They say all comes back to you.
There isn’t a soul in the things that matter to most.

Blunt
02:51
|

Breaks in,
Tearing up the skin.
Can´t run.
While splitting open,
Bells will start to ring.
Blood will stain,
It won´t restrain.
The bleeding of your veins
Won´t wash off with the rain.
Alone,
It won´t be how I´ll end.
In their company,
My thoughts
Will allow me to pretend.
That someway,
(Chorus)
I´ll remain not ravenous for pain
Or passionate for the sharpened knife.
No cutting through the way.
Breaks in,
Tearing up your skin.
Can´t run.
While splitting open,
Bells will start to ring.
Alone,
It won´t be how you´ll end.
With their company,
Your Thoughts
Will allow you to pretend
That someway
You´ll remain not ravenous for pain
Or passionate for the sharpened knife.
No cutting through the way.
Contained under the skin there is a Universe.
To spill it´s parts just means that you have
Lived your day.
Stained your white shirt.
Bleed!

Bigfoot
03:28
|
|||
Under the burning sun
Is where I’ll shed my skin.
It’s insatiable,
My thirst for heat
Makes me forget
That I might end up burnt.
(Chorus)
Dank from where I climb,
Searching for sweeter rhyme,
Standing firm. Playing part,
Defined by a broken line.
Is it all really true?
Under the crescent moon
Is where I’ll comb my fur.
It’s the intractable might
Of it’s pull that is enticing
To my dancing feet.
(Chorus)
Dreaming with the view
It’s when I thought of you
Standing firm. Playing part,
Defined by a broken line.
Is it all really true?

The Waters
03:47
|
|||
Oh,
It´s been fun this week
To play around
I simply didn’t get much sleep
And just enjoyed the ride
Through all the steady waters
Yeah
Stuck with dependency
The way fogged
I might as well blind be
I’d rather wait it out
Than travel stormy waters
Yeah
All aboard
Of the only plan in mind
Breathe in
For this time
We won’t surface
More for air.
Dance to a techno beat,
But play it loud
Cause that’s the way
It must be
For it to celebrate
The voyage through these waters
Yeah
All aboard
Of the only plan in mind
Breathe in
For this time
We won’t surface
More for air.

A Haze
03:22
|
|||
My mouth moves to the thoughts in mind
A tribute to what’s mystified
A bridge between what is yours and mine
The pen used as a simple tool
In favor of spreading the news
Embrace the talent to get consumed.
Watch what you’re going to say
They’re carefully linked in a chain
Setting in line a combination of all the wrong words.
The may come as borderline
Even if the sound like the sweetest rhyme
The simplest verses are hard to find.
They may even modify
What’s taken time to clarify
Unveiling what really hides behind you.
Watch what you’re going to say
They’re carefully linked in a chain
Setting in line a combination of all the wrong
Words are the feet of my day
So walk me out of the haze
Setting in line a combination of all the right ways
To follow you over there.
Watch what you’re going to say
They’re carefully linked in a chain
Setting in line a combination of all the wrong
Words are the feet of my day
So walk me out of the haze
Setting in line a combination of all the right ways.

Fool
03:26
|
|||
There was a dream I one time had
It wasn’t good. It wasn’t sad.
But there was so much fear
And so much death
A battlefield over my bed
Now all awake I feel like a fool
With no idea or even a clue
About what life in a city
With millions would be
Or breaking out into monstrosity
If I knew something about
Why grey is the color of clouds.
When you crash a car
Into the wall you’ve built
Your bring down everything
Down with guilt
I thought it was all in the blood I bled
It appears their all ideas inside my head.
There was a pill I one time took
It wasn’t happy it was the hook
That pulled me out of the river
Pushed me out of the nest
At times I dream what might’ve been the end
Now all awake I feel like a fool
With no idea or even a clue
About what life in a city
With millions would be
Or breaking out into monstrosity.
If I knew something about
Why grey is the color of clouds.
When you crash a car
Into the wall you’ve built
Your bring down everything
Down with guilt
I thought it was all in the blood I bled
It appears their all ideas inside my head.

Sound Of The City
03:19
|
|||
Find yourself before hand,
And the way will simply sort out,
It's the truth,
The truth.
Payed attention to the calling,
Even though they all were lying,
So confused,
Confused.
I hear the sound of the city,
I hear the sound the city,
And i think of you,
Of you.
A certain romance now begins,
Hope the sunset never ends,
Like that afternoon,
Afternoon.
Paint your body with some color,
Can we do that just for hours?
Breathe honestly,
Lost in me.
I hear the sound of the city,
I hear the sound the city,
And i think of you,
Of you.
I felt the communication,
The moon and all the vibrations,
And I thought of you,
Of you.

Don´t Wait A Lifetime
02:51
|

It's ok, it's alright,
If I feel alone,
It's ok, it's alright,
Life keeps going on,
It's ok, it's alright,
I wanted to be free,
It's ok, it's alright.
My life was passing by,
I didn't care,
Stuck up with many thoughts,
Inside my head,
Now the pain is slowly leaving.
It's ok, it's alright,
This is just a phase
It's ok, it's alright,
Confusions be erased,
It's ok, it's alright,
Mommy never left,
It's ok, it's alright.
My life was passing by,
I didn't care,
Stuck up with many thoughts,
Inside my head,
Now the pain is slowly leaving.
It's ok, it's alright,
If a rock n' roll,
It's ok, it's alright,
To liberate my soul,
It's ok, it's alright,
The best is yet to come,
It's ok, it's alright.
It's ok,
it's alright,
It's ok,
it's alright.

Red Carnation
05:12
|
|||
Insane’s been the weather these days
No forecast could ever anticipate
How I’ll feel for you
Somehow I still do.
So long I’ve been waiting for rain
Have longer and harder restrained from
How I feel for you
Should I run from the truth?
Summer days are over
As everything gets colder
And I think that they are just frowning
As everything grows older
Already survived the drought
More green will not ever lead far from
How I feel for you
Somehow I still do
Summer days are over
As everything gets colder
And I think that they are just frowning
As everything grows older

Stepping Stone
03:12
|
|||
There´s something wrong ´bout my timing
Cause I´ve been late
There´s something dull ´bout my words
Cause they get old fast
I´ve learned I must leave behind my pride
Cause time and words are what grime
My immature past.
So hear it cause it´s coming loud
Feel it as it´s getting hard
It´s all about controlling the crowd
I´m stepping on to jump of the wall.
I´ve felt the kick and the shame
I blame my own self
It took some time to embrace
What lied on my shelf
I´ve learned I must leave behind the hive
This breath I took full of smoke is for a long dive.
So hear it cause it´s coming loud
Feel it as it´s getting hard
It´s all about controlling the crowd
I want for you to feel me.

Caffeine
03:14
|
|||
I feel the hairs on my back
Stand when I see you
And all along
I had no worries to
Analyze or fight
To get through out my day
I simmer down
By smoking out the blues.
I now realize how
I misplaced my feet
By stepping on
To what I thought might be
The simplest math
Where I’d add
My desire for the
Wonders of your body
To my core.
A pity
You’re not impressed
By my abilities
My loud laugh
And sort of yellow teeth
It’s not a magic trick
What you have failed to see
It’s something stronger
Than my morning coffee.
|

12. |
||||
Oh,
I can’t say to you that it’s gone.
It went away some time
So I’d explore the new.
I was shy of experimenting the truth
I knew this wasn’t for you.
It’s a sign that I fell for you,
It was time that I rammed
My feelings cause soon
I might’ve fallen off
My feet hit the floor
So it’s time to say
Goodbye to you.
|
||||
13. |
||||
I gazed upon those big blind eyes
And saw a bit of the future
A thousand times I’ve tried
To not fall for that illusion
It’s like the French book I just can’t read
And every rule that I follow blows
It seems the more I believe
The deeper grows this whole.
Smile in vain
While it rains
I won’t stand here waiting for much longer.
It’s so pathetic I’m a romantic fool
Firmly believed in never getting screwed
I’ll where black to my own vigil
When will the planets float aligned
My stars have started to fade
Patience is not my ally
And as a foe I hope he won’t remain
Smile in vain
While it rains
I won’t stand here waiting for much longer.
It’s so pathetic I’m a romantic fool
Firmly believed in never getting screwed
I’ll where black to my own vigil

Helm's Deep
04:09
|

Breathe until you’re there
Bear the intentions that you wear
Will we have to travel far?
Or is it right here where we are?
Is there a way for us to get there quickly?
Is there a way that will make us get there right on time?
Miss what isn’t here
Forgetting always what is near
How deeply shall we dig?
Or often feed desire’s needs?
Is there a way for us to get there quickly?
Is there a way that will make us get there right on time?
I might understand it all
Forget it all
I’ll leave it out there
I might understand it all
Forget it all
And leave it out!
