A Dedication

For all the victims, for all their pain
For everyone who takes the blame
For all the shadows of my past, for all the things that never last
For what I've found, for what I've lost
For all the ones that I love the most
For the new shape of days to come, for every second til I'm gone
For all the distance, For all the trains
For every tear melt in the rain
For I'll never see your smile again as long as these walls drive me insane
For you my lover, for you my friend
Cold are these days but warm our hands
For every fear we had to share, for every stick has hit my snare
When stars will touch the ground, when fire will burn the sky
When smoke will blind our eyes, I'll sing this song so
I'll be there with you
The hunt goes on, we carry our fire
Last sparkle of what keeps us alive
And if our past pulls it behind we'll find a better place to hide
But if they won't, then why should I
Count the regrets of my whole life?
And when the smoke will blind our eyes, I'll sing this song so
I'll be there with you

The Long Run

Stay with me just a little bit more
And I think I'll faint down on the floor
We sit around in this room on our own
I need to run and to do it alone
Cause I've got wolves, wolves howling at my door
And they've got claws, claws scratching out for more
I need to find a new place to sleep
Or I'd rather sleep no more
Will you step aside and let me cut my teeth?
Or are we just going to wait until the last light dulls?
Cause I've got wolves, wolves howling at my door
And they've got claws, claws scratching out for more
It's the long run I've been seeking
Peace requires physical labour
We've been dormant for too long oh my, oh my

Bricks and Stones

So I went out for a while, walked for about seven miles
All the cars along the track looked like many cadillacs
Do you see the same things too?
All the shit we've been through means more than each of these tunes
And I swear it's not a lie, I still need you by my side
Do you feel the same way too?
It's all in the bricks and stones of this city that we loathe
All over these streets and squares there's the scent of what we love
Will they still carry our names? Our foolish fancies of fame?
Cause despite all awful things, back here we'll always be kings
Dusting off our shoes anew

Consuming Us
04:00
|

|
We set ourselves on fire just to see how does it feel
And then we drank benzine just to spit it out and bleed
We locked our hearts so no emotion could come in
And threw away the key but still praying to find it
And now I'm here, waiting for my sun to rise
And watch it burn til comes the night
We killed our dreams throughout the night just to have more time to cry
And strangulate all those things that we love
We're all masochists and love is our fucking razor
We're all masochists but I won't cut my heart out
And you, my dear, our love's consuming us
So I'm gonna let time play its part

Puddles and Goodbyes

Gazing at the stars won't tear this world apart
Or heal these broken hearts
Screaming at the sky won't let this timeline die
Or ease these burning eyes
For all the victims, for all their pain
For everyone who takes the blame
For all the shadows of my past, for all the things that never last
For all the distance, for all the trains
For every tear melt in the rain
For I'll never see your smile again as long as these walls drive me insane
Trapped inside these empty walls until my strenght wakes up and calls
Even through the scariest storm, I will go on, I will find home
I'm writing you this letter, I hope things will get better and we could heal our scars
I'm writing you this letter, through the changing weather, this rain is my farewell
This is my farewell to you
