Track Name: Funeral
For the members of the crowd
that I´ve been listening:
the worried man´s inside out
aware it´s happening.

Land by land
where I was before the king.

For the members of the crowd;
wandering steps are to shape these inner plains
into forward landscapes.

Land by land
where I was before the king
Land by land
Whisper comes, lighting in

And there´s nothing left
in my homeland
there´s nothing old
you can hold on to
I´m falling in love with the wind
that rises from the east
begging for luck
almost in peace

And that´s the end of the funeral
That´s the end of the calm
Do you wanna take a walk in the fog?
I´ve been playing there for long
And that´s the end of the funeral
That´s the end of the funeral
And that´s the end of the funeral
That´s the end of the calm

And there´s nothing left in my homeland
there´s nothing old
you can hold on to
I´m falling in love with the wind
that rises from the east
begging for luck
almost in peace
Track Name: Ocean
I’m the lawyer, you’re the law 
How can you hold the swell? 

I’m the tide but you’re the moon 
Have you ever hesitated? 

Swimming on my drowning hopes 
Believing they would never sink 
They’ve just gone, gone, gone 
Gone, gone, gone 

I’m a dreamer 
And you’re the fucking nightmare 

Like the ocean’s 
Like the ocean’s 
To the rain 

I’m falling down cause you’re gravity 
Plucked the feathers off my wings 

Like one thought in the whole humanity 
Which never blazed its trail 

Swimming on my drowning hopes 
Believing they would never sink 
They’ve just gone, gone, gone my lady 
Gone, gone, gone 

Sail away, you better come back home 
Sail away, you better come back home 
You better come back home 

I’m the lawyer you’re the law 

I’m a dreamer 
And you’re the fucking nightmare 

Like the ocean’s 
Like the ocean’s 
To the rain
Track Name: My Shadow's Wall
And even if I start alone
Whenever I chase this sadness
I´ll be the echo against my wall,
My wall, my shadow´s wall
And even if I start alone
Whenever I chase this sadness
I´ll be the echo against my wall,
My wall, my shadow´s wall

I sit by the light the dust fills
The mess has returned, the glass is pouring with it
I hear twinning minds with broken links
Every time alarms go off, familiar tic.

And even if I start alone
Whenever I chase this sadness
I´ll be the echo against my wall
And even if I start alone
Whenever I chase this sadness
I´ll be the echo against my wall,
My wall, my shadow´s on the wallI´

and ll goI´ll go, go, go.
Wherever I ought to go
As far as I need it
And then I´ll tell you how it goes

And even if I start alone
Whenever I chase
Track Name: Lights
I´ll be at the back
Singing within echoes that burn
Counting down the seconds as seeds
Bringing angles and homes

The awnings mean
the fences fits the yard
where I balance my dreams
between me and the Sun

And it´s for both
It is for both
It drives to fall asleep
And it´s for both
It is for both
Ain´t no shores to drift?

I´m hearing the reaction
Meanings are becoming raw
Strolling hands in dance
Melting into matter
in the state that it´s been found

The awnings mean
the fences that fit the yard
where I balance my sight
under the timing of Sun

Light, hopes. Light, hopes.
I´m lying
Light, hopes. Light, hopes.
I´m lying
(It is so hard, It is so hard to chase you, to chase back)

And it´s for both
It is for both
It drives to fall asleep
And it´s for bothIt is for both
Ain´t no shores to drift?

If I lose your eyes
I don´t know how I´m gonna see
Track Name: Missing Bird
Home 
I got to go home 
With an enemy That I don´t know 

This is the second war 
Are you what I need? 
This is the second war 
But I got you 

Times of a half-way rising sun 
Doubts, sound familiar in your truth 
Tense calm outside 
Is blocking your mind 
But I got you 
Rocking mine 

This is the second war 
Are you what I need? 
This is the second war 
But I got you 

I´m a missing bird willing to fly 
Maybe to nowhere else 
Like a missing bird willing to fly 
Far from the lake 
I´ll wait for the instant 
Follow me, disappear
Track Name: Metaphor
And then will raise
My father´s arms
I know that every time I´ve been
A question held
that got to link
a kiss into the right welcome
that let me sing
above the rights
we´ve been using for so long
may we just take a while
and now winter around
some of my friends have been worried
Oh this guy is gonna fall again low
Be my grass up the stairs

I hope you can hold this metaphor
When I don´t at all

Is this smog or just delay?
Might be the bend´s fault
They ask questions about thoughts
While they blame
And no matter how loud do we shout

Cause after all, after all
All the words we never say
Are gold, are gold,
Our goal´s to remain

I hope you can hold this metaphor

When I don´t at all
I wish I could build up your case
Roll on roll on
Your case

But carry on with that
Cause I belong to what I feel
Track Name: Mindsmoke
I´m, I´m, I´m made by mistakes
And I didn´t even mind to lose

The war, the war, the war is over
The war, the war, the war is underrated

I could take a seat while you disagree about the rests
The spiral of light: lifting dust, awakening dirt

While I recall from my mindsmoke

The war, the war, the war is over
The war, the war, the war is underrated
The war, the war, the war is over me
Track Name: Chanticleer
As a mother I declare
It´s awful to see this ship still
what do you mean, mum?
I´m still standing up your knees

That girl flirts with the fall
She thought about
Lying to the thieves
Are you bored of me as a dog?
I could stop or just get thrilled

Three women up a horse
They might believe
It´s moment to retain
In the hands of time
Memories split

And I felt ourselves
pretty much containing
Rules are somewhere else
dividing the space
that we leave for nonsense

You´re the best that happens here
And I feel the disarming breeze (x3)

I could die in her arms
I could live in her arms
But it wouldn´t be dying
It would be an arrival
Track Name: Old and Slippery Sand
Lets sail,
let´s say I´ve nothing to say
Where is all worth, by the way?
Lets pray,
my eyes got stuck in the ground
No matter let me stay

While I left my home to discover
What´s out for now in this forest

Lets invert myself, surface is undefined as well.
This old and slippery sand
Ah, the horses won´t complain If we stop
Ah, all the light that I don´t keep
Might be a lover of the sand
Somewhere in the sun

Once I belonged to a tale,
That I don´t want to lose
I´ll do what wine does with blood
Even if it stains, no matter if it stains

Look at the sand,
grab the sand
by all accounts
old and slippery sand
look at the sand,
grab the sand
by all account
sold and slippery sand

Ah, the horses won´t complain If we stop
Luck, all the luck that I don´t keep
Ah, all the luck that I don´t keep

Might be somewhere there outdoors
Please don´t hide yourself my lord
Might be somewhere there outdoors, my lord
Might be a lover of the sand.
Track Name: Distant Stairs
Would you mind
If I lay behind the stone?

Cause there´s a tree
and snow is about to fall

there´s a tree
it grows up with calm

While I´m watching leaves
Spinning down from where they grow
They gather themselves fine
Then you´ll crash and step on

And I would like to check
What memory holds
This time, a year
This time, a year

But it feels all fine
Regarding all these homeless holes
where touch the bright
like anything could be blown
And it feels all fine
Regarding all these homeless holes

So would you mind
if I lay behind the stone?

We probably have
What others desire
We probably hide
When others don´t
I won´t be safe at all, after you.

And I call from distant stairs,
so did I get you now?
It takes time to descend
But here is all allowed

Maybe I,
I walk in circles
cause I don´t know where it ends.
Maybe I,
I walk in circles
cause I don´t know where it ends.
Not knowing where’s the end.
