Lyrics

Table for One

A long and narrow hallway
Shining brightly in pale green
«What might have been?»
He’s staring at the exit sign
A journey through the inside
«What might have been?»

 

Bloodshot eyes, warning signs
No consolation
«What might have been?»
Eyes meet eyes, they realize
There’s just one shot in this life

 

Table for one
Can he feel that I think of him now?
He’s on his last legs
Is there someone who speaks of his name?

 

Worn out hands, the emptiest plans
A search of atonement, no second chance
«What might have been?»
He’s staring at the exit sign
A journey through the inside
«What might have been?»

 

A long and narrow hallway
Shining brightly in pale green
«What might have been?»
Worn out hands, the emptiest plans
A search for redemption, no second chance

 

Is it light at the end?
Can you feel that I think of him now?
Where have you gone?
This thought is as close as I get

Spirits in Need

The brick in the guts, the dark side within
Will never ever draw back
Unless you let someone in
Come madness and pain, more speed in the veins
I miss communication
I miss everything

 

A lifelong escape, a wish to break free
A song of unfulfillment
As vast as the sea
The core is the aim, let’s poison our veins
I miss the conversation
I miss everything

 

There are spirits in need
Everything’s been on hold
Not a day left to waste
On the search for a soul

 

An itch I can’t scratch
A mind on the run
A search for balance
A search for control
Can’t find the words, the cat got my tongue
I miss the conversation
A place to belong

 

There are spirits in need
Everything’s been on hold
Not a day left to waste
On the search for a soul

 

It’s the last day I waste
I’m ready to roll
Come on madness and pain
Everything’s been on hold

One of those Days

They say it’s thicker than water
How come it feels like you’re light-years away?
How come we cannot talk to each other?
You’ve been there through all of my days

 

You sense there’s some kind of darkness
I claim it’s just one of those days
How come it feels like I don’t even know?
You’ve been there through all of my days … so far

 

Must one of us die before we get close?
We’re stuck on each side
One day we’ll wake up, when we are old,
and see clear without being told

 

They say it’s thicker than water
I’m sorry for not being part of your days
I’m sorry for being some kind of stranger
I fight this cognition to show in my face

 

Must one of us die for us to get close?
We’re stuck on each side
One day we’ll wake up, when we are old,
and see clearly without being told

 

And still we are strangers
Still strangers
After all these years
We’re stuck on each side
One day we’ll wake up, when we are old,
and see clearly without being told

Even Dead Things Feel Your Love

You have walked on this planet long enough to share
A thing or two
Altough everything was taken away
You still give

 

Shivers on the inside and tears
Are always haunting you
You are brave no complaints you will never quit to try

 

You’re always giving
Without getting in return
Your comforting eyes are like beams of love
And tey’re telling me
«You can always come to stay here anytime you like»

 

And i think to myself that i hope
You’ll never leave this world
It’s a much better place to be
With you around

 

Even dead things
Even dead things
Feel your love

 

Even dead things
Even dead things
Feel your love

 

Even dead things
Feel your love

Built to Last

Although everything will change
I know that this will never be just history
It’s an everlasting flame
And this thought remains the same

 

If you hadn’t found me I’d be lost
Every day I hope you’ll hold on
I can’t lose you, not at any cost
I’ll hold on as hard as I can

 

All could change today
«Never quit» the old man said to me
He saw clearly when I failed to see;
That this was built to last

 

Although everything will change
I know that this will never be just history
It’s an everlasting flame
And this thought remains the same

 

If you hadn’t found me I’d be lost
Every day I know you’ll hold on
Hope is here to stay
And this was built to last

 

If you hadn’t found me I’d be lost
Every day I hope you’ll hold on
I can’t lose you, not at any cost
I can’t lose you, not again

The World Can Wait

Vanish into stillness
A world of my own
to be
all alone

 

Longing for the night
to take me
in its hold
to leave
to be alone

 

The world can wait
I searched the days, I searched for calm
but there it wasn’t found
I found it in the night when there was no
one else around
Sometimes it’s rigt to be alone

 

Space between the curtains
is all it takes to make me change
to change both time and place
The world can wait
The world can wait

 

I searched the days, I searched for calm
but there it wasn’t found
I found it in the night when there was no
one else around
Sometimes it’s rigt to be alone

 

I searched the days, I searched for glue,
for some way to belong
I found it in the night when there was no
one else around
I’m at my best when I’m alone

A Simple Reminder

A blink of an eye and you twist your life around
A blink of an eye and then madness comes to town
Their eyes, sharpened knifes, aiming, piercing through
You’re well aware the monster is you

 

You spend all your days searching for something
To tell you that you’re still alive
With fear in your eyes you try hard to discover
Someone who could make you feel love once again

 

A beautiful mind with so much good to give
The fear wears you out but still you love to live
This is for real
A simple reminder is all that I need

 

You spend all your days searching for something
to tell you that you’re still alive
Sometimes all that I need is a simple reminder
to still be in tune with my life
with my life

 

This is for real
A simple reminder is all that I need
You spend all your days searching for something
to tell that you’re still alive

Cornerstone

(no lyrics)

Home

Don’t you ever feel like going home?
Don’t you ever feel that need?
Don’t you ever miss the smell from the house where you’ve grown
Then you can sleep

 

Wander down that old street
Seeing everyone
Don’t you ever feel like going home?

 

Passing every old house
Seeing everyone
Don’t you ever feel like going home?

 

Don’t you ever miss the old house, the green garden, the ones,
who made those first and clear memories?
The friends next door, the days before
The lack of thoughts about days in store
The stickers on that old fridge
The smell of yesterdays
Don’t you ever feel like going home?

 

Wander down that old street
Seeing everyone
Don’t you ever feel like going home?

 

Would it all change the same days your loved ones were gone?
Or would it stay the same?
Now it’s coming clear to me
From now I’ll always know
Home is not the darkness and the snow.

 

All all would change the same day
the ones I know were gone
Then this place was no longer home

 

Waiting in the Wings

You’re quiet on the fence and I am king of drama
Locked up by suspense I fear for your return
Every moment you are everywhere around me
You can’t stop laughing while I live and never learn

 

You’re waiting in the wings to end my days
You search for ways
I know too well that I …
I waste my strength on something I can’t change nor rearrange
But still I try
Yeah still I try

 

I think of childhood years, days before I met you
Before I knew you’re somewhere waiting in the wings

 

You’re  waiting in the wings to end my days
You search for ways
But I’ll come clear again
There’s more in store for me and way too soon
To be your friend
Don’t waste my time
I choose to live

Live to Fight Another Day (Bonus)

Love is stronger
than all this hate together
We will rise, stronger than
we’ve ever been before

 

One reminder
Never more forget
the strongest force
we’ll ever feel
is love

 

Can’t change the days in store for you
can’t change the past, what’s done is true
What else is there to say or do
I pray for peace and mind for you

 

Let’s live to fight another day
cause clearly it’s the only way
No matter what we do or say
Love will always be the one
and only way

 

One soul’s failure, a hopeless act of hate
so meaningless that all of us
fail to understand

 

A search for answers
there are no one here
still everywhere and everyone
finds hope

 

Can’t change the days in store for you
can’t change the past, what’s done is true
What else is there to say or do
I pray for peace and mind for you

 

Let’s live to fight another day
cause clearly it’s the only way
No matter what we do or say
Love will always be the one
and only way
