Everything 03:10
Everything i could possibly want is here with me All so familiar and yet like some strange land Everything excactly as it appears to be And I know my own mind, like the back of your hand. I love this - maybe too much I cant contain – I’m full up Inside of me - pressure builds I feel - so fulfilled My cheeks they hurt from smiling But this is not enough So I have to disengage for a moment and get up And get out - let it out Or im gonna explode This is not enough - this is not enough So I have to leave you for a moment and get up And get out - let it out -Or I’m gonna explode This is not enough This is not enough So I have to leave you for a moment and get up And get out Let it out Or I will explode

Disengage 03:45
Ready - Set - Disengage One mind - one heart One body - one wish Too close - for too long Separate beings - fusioned Melting together - breathing eachother Loosing sense - of where it ends and begins Nothing else - in the world Seem to matter - at all Fulfilled - complete Nothing left - to achieve Come back - to the real world

Tapestry 05:16
My memories Weave a tapestry Of faded colours Some are beautiful some are dark But all a part of me, my history All the madness it harbours I would change so many things If I could do it all again Erase mistakes and doubt and fear Wont be given one more try Not a chance to make it right Still then I would not be here And I don’t mind No I don’t mind At all I’ve commited crime The ones I called mine showed me love I stole and ran I have shown poor sense of judgement I’ve traded truth for lies, friends for time Led the way for the fall of man With my past before my eyes I know if given one more try I would not waste it Make it up to everyone Still the person I’ve become Is who I must stay with And I don’t mind No I don’t mind At all I would love to learn to let go of all of these regrets Or I will keep collecting til the hour of my death They break my back they weigh me down They’re no good once you have reflected On what went wrong and why and how It’s possible to for it to be corrected In the same situation another time another town Once you’ve chewed it up, learned what you could You spit it out I know I should Not dream of change what can’t be changed You can’t go back and rearrange All the chances you didn’t take All the sceletons you kept hidden All the things you said and done you wish you didn’t It’s wasted wasted wasted

Peace 03:05
I don’t feel like dancing I don’t feel like talking much I don’t feel like plaing wild or sweet games Or go hunting For a strangers thrilling touch I don’t feel like being loud Only wish to enjoy all that surrounds me I don’t feel the need to paticipate And disturb this peace That has found me I don’t need to turn no heads I don’t crave to be seen at all I just need to feel the beats and feast my eyes On everyone Moving to the same call

Girls in love’s got nothing to live for There’s nothing you can do to help Girls in love ’coz they’re in love and only love can make them happy only love can solve all their problems only love can make everything ok but oh no not just any kind of love will do for these girls they think they need the kind of romantic love sexual love intimate love that only their special loved one can provide that special someone who they’re in love with don’t come to girls in love with ideas on how to make this love go away don’t come to them with suggestions of diversions don’t come to them with your own love you feel for them don’t tell them how much they’re loved by how many amazing people that kinda love doesnt measure up at all to the kind of love they think they need when they’re in love hey

This time 04:17
This time you need it to be true this time you need that something to save you there was never any option but to believe that you finally had arrived into that perfect place this time you can't afford to lose this time there will be no afterwards for you it's the only way you think you're able to survive so you cling on to this feeling and just pray it stays this way if it all falls through this time there will be no more emergency recources as you prepare to hit the ground you know you'll take the full force of the impact this time You didn't learn enough to understand it should have taken yourself some more time but when it felt so far from right there was no way you'd ever comprehend the time misspent in life it wasn't really worth the fight there was no way you'd ever win this one although you like to claim you’re always right there was just no way you'd ever win this one to make a major decision you gotta use the clues that you're given choose your destination, give it all stand or fall and arrive

Mood 03:23
Forvildede løber vi rundt Jager skyggerne af alt formange drømme Uendelige valg og muligheder Gør det svært at dømme Kroppe der er som ramt af slag og skud Findes bedst tilrette i et mørklagt rum Hvor vi ikke mærker andres øjne Øret er lukket og talen stum

There is one thing you should know I’ll be honest before we go - any further I get in such terrible moods and I will probably take it out on you But if you’re ok with that Let’s carry on this chat There are two things you should know I’ll be straight with you before we go – any further I cannot bear to be critizised If you do it I will start to cry But if you still agree You can be my cherí There are three things you should know You might as well before we go – any further I like to have my fun You wont be the only one If you can’t live like this We better give this thing a miss There are four things you should know Get it outta the way before we go – any further Nomatter how close we’ll be I’ll let you down when you really need me So only if you understand We might stand a chance There are five things you should know I’ll admit it before we go – any further The second you look at another girls face I’ll fly into a jealous rage But If you can live with it We could be a perfect fit

Scars 05:04
You trace my scars with your fingers You don’t see unsightly twisted ugliness But something as much a part of me As the beautiful curve of my lip You see me for who and what I am You know it all and still accept Without trying to twist me or cut me or mould me Into a more suitable fit When you speak - The light of compassion and acceptance -Shines through your words And I still find it hard to believe Anytime I need Validation and reassurance Or when it really hurts - You always give your time to me. You don’t mind my dark at all - You hold it like no one could I’m not used to not having to hide - The face of my demons I don’t ever feel I wear you out Or outstay my welcome with you I know you don’t keep score -I know I don’t owe you anything You - have helped me Grow so much - and taught me to trust I am not worthless - I am not unwanted I am a much greater person than I ever knew

Stronger 03:16
I know a part of you died But you are still alive I know you’re stronger than you think You are So when you’re ready to get up And your spark has lit again We’ll go dancing til the sun comes up over the water
