How Does It Feel?
05:03
|
|
||
When you're ready to resign
The feeling goes away but you're almost blind
When you're on the edge of time
And all the things you've said are not worth a dime
How does it feel?
To be less than real...
How does it feel?
When you're out there in the streets
And no one sees you stumbling on your feet
When you're bleeding off the walls
And your beating heart is out of control
How does it feel?
To be less than real...
How does it feel?
When you're so invisible
What do you do in the title role?
And when you know it's far too late
To take your place again in the human race
How does it feel?
To be less than real...
Less than real.

The Love in Your Eyes
03:49
|
|
||
Out of the blue I felt your absence
And into my heart an empty place
I reached for your light, I couldn't find it
What would I give to see you now!
And I had to say goodbye
When I knew it would be for the last time
However hard I tried
I couldn't see all
The love in your eyes anymore
The love in your eyes anymore
The love in your eyes...
I travelled so far, I felt so restless
And left you behind, forgotten trace
I wish I was back again at your side
What would it take to get back now?
And I had to say goodbye
When I knew it would be for the last time
However hard I tried
I couldn't see all
The love in your eyes anymore
The love in your eyes anymore
The love in your eyes...

Gone
04:51

|

Gone the days of endless joy
Gone the days of old
You changed your ways, no longer a wonder boy
You learned to play your role
Time goes by, you feel the weight
You cross the lonely gate
Longer days and colder nights
You clench your fist so tight
Whoever you are now, I wanna be
Whatever you own, I'll claim
Whenever you fall down, I'll pick you up
You know I care
You know I care
Gone the laughs, and gone the smiles
All your blood ran dry
You're out of breath, you ran so many miles
You'll won the race some time...
Whoever you are now, I wanna be
Whatever you own, I'll claim
Whenever you fall down, I'll pick you up
You know I care
You know I care

Night Train
05:20
|
|
||
We were strangers on the night train
Riding in the dark
Going nowhere, to speak of...
Just escaping from the past
I saw you sitting there, motionless
While the train was speeding fast
Then a tear started falling down
Was it yours or was it mine?
Taking the night train
Riding the long way home
As the train was heading North
I thought of all I've left behind
Who knows what crossed your mind
When your eyes crossed mine?
Did you leave someone dear?
Were you having second thoughts?
Out there, somewhere,
Was there someone calling your name?
Taking the night train
Riding the long way home
We never spoke, and never will
It all happened in a dream
During that fleeting moment
And the world had passed away
In retrospect, how we connect
Is like that sparkle in the night
We leave so little trace
But a memory in the dark
Taking the life train
Riding the long way home
Taking the life train
Riding the long way home

Let Go
05:08
|
|
||
I've been flying...
It felt like flying when you were in my life.
Forever I've been lying.
And now I'm done, I can't go on anymore.
You've earned my love and now it's gone and I keep thinking, drinking
No! Of all the past I can't let go...
I'm dying!
It feels like dying now you're out of my life.
No matter what I'm trying
Don't seem to matter in your life anymore...
You can't pretend we've been the same and we're still growing, loving
Oh! Of all the past I can't let go...
Now that our passion has just withered away,
I see no reason why I can't let it go.
But now... how...
You have much to do, you run away with your life.
It seems that you
Have turned the page and headed right out the door
I cannot bear to see how far apart we've ended, faded
Why? Of all that past I can't let go...

It Doesn't Matter
04:25
|
|
||
A suitcase in the hallway
A taxi at the door
It's such a rainy day
You know she wanted more...
The window's steamed
You see
The shadow of a dream
You see it all
And then you look away
Oh it doesn't matter really
It doesn't matter at all
That's what you say to yourself, how silly
It doesn't matter at all
Oh it's all for the better
Anyway... anyway
Now that the place is cleared
You find her bits and pieces all around
A sense of comfort
In a funny kind of way
Oh it doesn't matter really
It doesn't matter at all
That's what you say to yourself how silly
It doesn't matter at all
Oh it's all for the better
Anyway... anyway
It doesn't matter
Doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
Oh it doesn't matter at all

9 to 5 (Barely Alive)
07:43
|
|
||
Nine to five
You leave your soul behind
And trade your worried mind
To earn your place back in the line
Another time
In the hive
You can't get by until
You fit right in the middle
To help your pain die just a little
From nine to five
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You're barely alive
Just another day
To make it through
All you do is
Give your light away
You play another play
To muddle through
But you do need to
Get back to older ways
Never ever
Turning around
Never ever
Looking back
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nine to five
How will you find your way
And flee out of the maze
When you're still living in a haze
Of petty crime?
You won't survive
Unless you face yourself
And deal with all the shadows
Of all your failures, your denials
And lay them down
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Home at last
And now you're left to fight
The battle in your cage
That leave you breathless, out of rage
And broken down
You reach the end
You feel the burden growing
Curtain falling down
Your last attempt, a final draw
Another chance?

Let It Rain
04:02
|
|

You never had to break my heart
You never had to tear me the way you did
I'll never trust another one
I need some time to be the same again
My whole being out of hand
Entire world just turned to sand
I stay at home to watch the rain
And play along, the day is ending again
I hear your song but I remain
I sing alone this time, I fight the pain
My whole being out of hand
Entire world just turned to sand

Going Away
04:25
|
|
||
Monday, Tuesday, hard to say what happens everyday...
We gotta hurry, gotta work, be ready and smile along the way
Then time goes by and blood at last is rushing through our brains
Who knows what's waiting for us? The time is right again.
I got a good feeling... We're going away
Got a good feeling... We're not gonna stay
Got a good feeling... We're going away
There's something waiting in the air, we can feel it in our heart
It might be calling us under there, I hope you're ready for that
our pulse is rushing, heartrate racing, we're waiting for a sign
We're gonna ride until the end of the road, until the end of time
I got a good feeling... We're going away
Got a good feeling... We're not gonna stay
Got a good feeling... We're going away
