Hey, Boy 04:20
Hey, boy, those hard times you’ve been through They’re never wasted if you chase the blues Away and then embrace tomorrow Sure is, you may fool yourself again By painting pretty pictures in your brain You sense so much but not a thing Hey, boy, listen! Time is running, and love’s not coming Waiting, waiting... Half-empty glasses, irrational flashes Waiting, waiting... But all you’ve got to do Is step outside your box or two See that window? Let the wind blow inside You’ve got to search before you find Hey, boy, your longing is too deep You’re walking on the rope while you’re asleep A game of chance, o play of whim So frame your question, please, define That fiction of your soul that keeps you blind To the necessity of crime

I’ve been to those dismal places Give me your hand and come with me I’ve taken the dive right to the bottom Close your eyes and sink with me Walking on the ocean floor and playing with those creatures That one I find delightful, this one I abhor A shallow pool, yes, I know, I’ve been fooling Myself before I hit those solid rocky shores I have been living life in vain I have got to be dead or born again I just don’t understand who the hell I am Banish the memories I have! Those hard times when I cry and then I laugh I just don’t understand who the hell I am Staring at the moonlight, soaking all the hazy stardust A breathless rupture when I fade away like this And all those tremors that run through my body A joy of leaving all behind except for this Come home Painful, I know Full of doubt and misgiving Come on, come on, come on, come on Shake, baby, shake all what’s fake You have got your mind to make You have got your bonds to break Shake, shake

Love Is 04:21
That feeling I resist That yearning I cannot escape from A prison for my soul A trap for every move I’m making Ooh, ooh, ooh Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Ooh, ooh, ooh Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah So pointless to go on So meaningless to build a future A groping time to come A sense of inner dissolution Love is killing me, oh brother Love is taking me apart Burning me within, oh sister Tempting me within so hard No one to tell I’m wrong No arms to catch me as I’m falling You question - I am numb It’s in my eyes you see I’m calling

I want to vanish Like Autumn’s rain To fall unhampered Kiss the ground So unashamed To roll across the scattered leaves The skies unwashed and bleak Forget and sleep The nights get longer No stars, no moon The city lights Make shadings glide across the room I’ve hid myself beneath the trees So naked and so meek Forget and sleep A promise broken No traces left I’m pleading guilty to the charge of selfish death I’m quiet and aroused at once Yet not a single ounce Of shame at all And then I pondered I racked my brain How come this world so intricate looks like a cave Too many broken hearts around Too many voices shout Time for a change A cry from heaven Unsettling growl A time of shivering and trembling in the now A sense of lost and found again

Sage & Fool 04:15
You may wonder if the stars You may wonder if the moon Made you just the way you are Like a sage and like a fool (Hush me, hush me, no one can hush me) (Crush me, crush me, no one can crush me) Say a word, yes, draw me an image So I can read what’s on your mind Climb the mountains, swim ‘cross the river Till I can reach the shore inside I am knocking You are blocking I am locking you from outside You have got a chance for another one Falling down and rising up I’ve been watching you going round and round Nothing seems to make you stop The stars - you may wonder The moon - you may wonder A sage - you may wonder A fool - you may wonder

I just want you to be happy with me, babe But it’s no easy thing when I don’t know what you think If that’s not love what I’ve done for you then How can I make my way through to the bright side of you, how? I’ve seen your tricks a thousand times before, babe I guess this life is too short, you can’t simply ignore All that we’ve built, all the dreams we’ve made real, babe I won’t let you steal from me, I won’t give them all up Run the way you’ve run before Can’t escape me anymore I’m gonna get you, baby, I’m gonna get you, baby Hide your feelings if you want Deep inside you can’t pretend I’m gonna get you, baby, I’m gonna get you, baby
7.
I am willing to embrace Lonely nights and crowded days All that noise and solitude fill up my space Just as long as you are there I feel comfort and your care Walking barefoot on the snow, still far to go (I’m willing to embrace Those lonely nights and days As long as you are there Feel comfort and your care) Shredded pictures of the past Some will vanish, some will last How come words I've spoken once can't be undone (Can’t be undone) Things have changed but you're the same I have missed the point of the game Never mind the crooked path, I'm walking fast (You always stayed the same I think I lost the game Those pictures of the past Will vanish, some will last) I can never touch the sky Insignificant and shy All those places I've deserted on the run... I can whisper, I can shout But there’s nobody around Till you speak to me at night that lovely sound (Yes, a long way, a long way, a long way to go)

Memento Mori 03:19
In the forgotten days Beyond the murky shadows of oblivion (I) was looking for a place To hide my unrelenting pain and sorrow A ray of sun cut through The dome of my asylum, so violent It was burned to ashes The urge to run away was gone Wake up, my love, it’s not the end of story Wake up, my heart, and sing memento mori
9.
Go-thick 07:29
Somebody in search Somebody to fall Feeling cold, feeling blue That’s all I have, that’s all I do Stain glass windows crashing On my iron face Something I’ve been given In a cruel race Battles with no winners I have fought inside myself. Go astray, drift away! The place I seek has got no name I am just a guest here Somebody in search For the love supreme and For the sacred touch Speechless at the moment Ready to step down and fall I can do the trick Of making you sick Of all you love No matter what I can screw your fate And turn you inside out Go scream and No one ever finds you (ever) Looks like salvation Just hallucination Can’t trust my senses Can’t shake off the lenses Too hard to swallow The rules I must follow God help…God Help...! Swept by the wind of The past without future Caught in the moment Of timeless illusion Nothing to wait for Nothing to pray for God help…God Help...!

America 05:12
I have left behind my childhood fears Lonely with a suitcase in my hands Waiting for the shores to leave no trace In the cloudy past I’ve just erased America, you have known my joy and sorrow America, you have seen my shame and glory America, I have traveled miles and miles To see your face, in sleep I stayed awake I was heading for a promise land Driven by some inmost hidden plan I was staring at the ocean’s face, without a name Having lost all sense of time and place You have known my joy… You have seen my shame… Miles and miles away… Just to see your face In sleep I stayed awake
