Bliss
03:45

my father
and my mother
they raised me so well
that I don't need to
nor do I wan't to
raise any hell
life is a chance you shouldn't miss
if you eat right and sleep right
it's bliss
my brother
my dear brother
he put me through hell
yet I trust him
yet I love him
I think that he is swell
life is a chance you shouldn't miss
if you eat right and sleep right
it's bliss
and if I fall out of grace
I'll remember the place
where I used to be
and land on my feet
life is a chance you shouldn't miss
if you eat right and sleep right
it's bliss

from now on it's all out war
trying to make a sound
out of beliefs in which I ground
what tells me what is wrong
in this picture, in this song
about soul, and where I long
right when you can't turn around it's there
I won't believe in them
or at least I won't care
right when you can't turn around it's there
I won't believe in them
and for sure I won't care
about this breath of gold
of letting myself go
of silence and rain
sunshine and someone to hold
coming back to expect more
out of who I've known
myself to be, a sickling gone
to the other side of right
for this I will fight
and it won't end this night
right when you can't turn around it's there
I won't believe in them
or at least I won't care
right when you can't turn around it's there
I won't believe in them
and for sure I won't care
about this breath of gold
of letting myself go
of silence and rain
sunshine and someone to hold

Sickness and health
03:53
|

when you were down
you asked will you help me my friend
then I said I'm not your friend, I'm your soulmate
then I said I'm not your friend, I'm your lover
but you said
you can crawl through shit
but you will never fit
in to my life
you can try hard
but you'll never have my heart
because it is mine
then you grew old
and in your sickness and health
you felt lost and alone
then you said I'm not your friend, I'm your soulmate
then you said I'm not your friend, I'm your lover
but I said
I did crawl through shit
but you said I don't fit
in to your life
I did try hard
I could have given my heart
but now I don't give a damn

A rock n roll song
02:38
|
|||
|
walking home
to melt my face
I wrote a song
a rock n roll song
at home
in the shower
I sang a song
a rock n roll song
whatever you say will prevail
after all
I was wet and happy
that's why I sang
a rock n roll song
whatever you say will prevail

To withstand the blow
04:10
|
|||
|
there will be no rain cloud hanging where we've been around
there will be no sound banging our eardrums so loud
cos nothing here will remain
and nothing here will have a chance
to withstand the blow
so be glad if you don't care about anyone
and no-one really cares about who you're trying to be
oh no
there will be no doubt of who is who and who's the ground around
there will echo no shout out of the heretic mouth
cos nothing here will remain
and nothing here will have chance
to withstand the blow
so be glad if you don't care about anyone
and no-one really cares about who you're trying to be
oh who you're trying to be
to withstand the blow
so be glad if you don't care about anyone
and no-one really cares about who you're trying to be
oh who you're trying to be
oh no

In comparison
03:56
|
|||
|
all these so called graces
are wrapped in faces I don't know
lucky I know yours
so all these faces I don't know
seem so lame in comparison
oh they do
seem so lame in comparison
I'm running away
from deep traces
of all the unknown faces
I'm running away
from deep traces
all I taste is
wrapped in faces I don't know
lucky I know yours
so all these faces I don't know
seem so lame in comparison
oh they do
seem so lame in comparison
I'm running away
from deep traces
of all the unknown faces
I'm running away
from deep traces
oh they do
seem so lame in comparison

The rain on this day
04:15
|
|||
|
I walk out the door
a smell makes me adore
the rain on this day
I remember the way
you explained
and hey
today
we'll fall
we'll crawl
but hey
today
we're also more than we can know
I step on the ground
I say it out loud
the rain on this day
I'm scared come what may
so I say
and hey
today
we'll fall
we'll crawl
but hey
today
we're also more than we can know
I'll make things right
by leaving tomorrow
and hey
today
we'll fall
we'll crawl
but hey
today
we're also more than we can know

I dug a hole
04:24
|
|||
|
drawing pictures of my dreams
is like carving dead old trees
the faint smell of sawn off wood
to stop dreaming I think I should
cos all I care of
is going to hell
in those dreams
from what I can tell
cos in those dreams I've been lost just like a seed
on rock solid ground where nothing grows
for crying out loud
and I try to merge with the ground
some time ago it was not like this
then with madness I shared a kiss
I lost control of my poor soul
to be exact
I dug a hole
where I sit
and ponder like hell
about those dreams
of which I tell
cos in those dreams I've been lost just like a seed
on rock solid ground where nothing grows
for crying out loud
it sure is hard being asleep cos I've been lost just like a seed
on rock solid ground where nothing grows
for crying out loud
picture me with you
does it hurt your brain too?
does it seem insane to say
I'd be a father one day?
I don't think I ever will
not because I lack the skill
but because I'm all messed up
hanging around just to rot

I will not change
03:29
|
|||
|
I've built my home
on solid ground
still I'm afraid
I'm so afraid
that I say
I will not change
in any single way
even if you smite me down Lord
I will not change
I've built my home
on solid ground
still I'm afraid
I'm so afraid that I say
I will not change
in any single way
even if you smite me down Lord
I will not change
I won't change my faith
I won't let go this grace
cos in your hands my Lord
I can't say
I've ever been afraid
I won't let go this grace
I won't grow out this phase
cos in your hands my Lord
I can't say
I've ever been afraid
I've built my home
on solid ground
still I'm afraid
I'm so afraid
that I say
I will not change
in any single way
even if you smite me down Lord
I will not change

Hit the brakes
04:35
|
|||
|
hit the brakes
and stop this moment
the blood on my face
is getting cold and I've
never been
so happy and I've
never seen
such light in my life
this is what I have been waiting for a long time
oh how I taste
my withering soul and
oh how I feel
more and more and
my every single cell
is now on fire
I've lost control
I think it's my time
this is what I have been waiting for a long time
now everything I've said
is long forgotten
everything I've done
is long forgotten
everything I've been
is long forgotten
my every single sin
is long forgotten
this is what I have been waiting for a long time
