Struck by rays, out of place
Get out of bed, try to make it right today
Splash your face, pick up the pace
Tidy up the nest, the one that's in your hair
Earphones in, count every step
It all seems less grey, with your morning song he'll say : "It's ok"
Every car and passerby
They suddenly smile, they can hear your song
With head up high. Now catch the sky
The notes paint it with your morning song
Headphones on, count every breath
It all seems less grey, with your morning song I'll say :"It's ok"
Nitakupenda , nakupenda
When the night comes you go to bed
Waiting for the morning sun
The sun will rise, you'll do it all again
With the voice of your morning song he will say
Asabuhi ikifika, nitakupenda, nitakupenda
It's ok, it's ok, it's ok
It's ok, it's ok, it's ok
It's ok
Nakupenda

100 Steps
04:25
|
|||
|
It might seem that everything went down the drain
And you clean yourself again in the warm rain
Wish I could swear on everything to you
But I'll have to hide inside, I won't steal you
Away, just a hundred steps
All I can say is we'll see
You draw circles in the sand, round we go
Maybe this is all a trick, how will we know
Well at least I'll have your name frozen in time
Oh my sweet Gisele, I wanna make you mine
And take just a hundred steps
All I can say is we'll see
So run, run from what you knew
Keep on running to that tune
A 100 steps we both would have to make
A 100 steps for the next great mistake
Climb the tunnel in the dark, it will shelter us
Hide away with me from your past
Sweeter words were never said, it's true
And I can't seem to stop, obsessing with you
So take just a hundred steps
All I can say is we'll see
So run, run from what you knew
Keep on running to that tune
A 100 steps we both would have to make
A 100 steps I would gladly take

Child at Heart
04:54
|
|||
|
Ran away at seventeen
No one was surprised
You said you'll make it on your own
While you smothered your cries
You wear your heart on your sleeve
In you we'll all believe
A bright sun to lift us up
No time for you to grieve
So don't let it bring you down
Never let your spark go out
There'll be those who'll love you
And the child that's in your heart
So don't let it bring you down
Never let your spark go out
There'll be those who'll love you
And the child that's in your heart
Bow your head and take it all
You're at our service, you're on call
And when you try to cash it in
You stand silent, embrace your fall
When you just about had enough
Of mending and stitching others up
Settle down, silence it
The bright eyed voice acting up
Maybe you'll find someone too,
Who'll listen to it talk
He might be hiding just like you
Another child at heart
So don't let it bring you down
Never let your spark go out
There'll be those who'll love you
And the child that's in your heart
So don't let it bring you down
Never let your spark go out
There'll be those who'll love you
And the child that's in your heart

House in the Trees
05:21
|
|||
|
Not a word over the boards
That keep us afloat, sparrows at play
I sense this just might be right
In the silent embrace of night
We slide, deny, won't put up a fight
I was wrong , I acted strong
And this playground full of our breaths
I sense I built our house too high
Too high to catch with our eyes
We reach as it flies away
So I'll hold you for a couple of beats
Cross my fingers with yours
And with the first flicker of wings
And the chirping and smiling, postponing, denying
This is our house in the trees
This is our house in the trees
On the playground where we were free
This is our house in the trees
This is our house in the trees
On the playground where we were free
Keep my words to myself
My lips are sealed, they won't come apart
I sense with the silence we have
For everyone else we managed to quiet even ouselves
And it will slip away
Don't look back through the cracks
The walls won't come down
I feel as if in the wrong
We tried to make our right
We reached through but it was too bright
So I'll hold you for a couple of beats
Cross my fingers with yours
And with the first flicker of wings
And the chirping and smiling, postponing, denying
This is our house in the trees
This is our house in the trees
On the playground where we were free
This is our house in the trees
This is our house in the trees
On the playground where we were free

Denny is a Bubble Boy
05:32
|
|||
|
Denny put a bubble around our heads
He told me„ Don't you be afraid
There are no rules in here to live by
Just as long as you both stay inside“
We both agreed, for the time
Denny pushed and rolled our world
He told her„ Don't you dare let go
Cause if he sees you lose control
He will love you even more“
She nodded and smiled, for the time
Well Denny is our bubble boy, Denny is our bubble boy
When she fell asleep in her rocking ball
Denny took the chance to say it all
He told me„ If you let her in, you will fall
So stay quiet, just let me roll“
I looked at her, asleep, said yes... for the time
Denny rolled us around for some time
Three towns, long nights, he stood guard
Let no one tell us the truth
There is a way for us to live outside
But inside we're safe, for the time
Well Denny is our bubble boy, Denny is our bubble boy
Slowly as his bubble grew
I felt the time came to run away with you
Denny frowned and told me„ You risk it all
You'll lose her and your bubble world“
I smile and said to him„ I have to try“
Denny knew, he understood
He couldn't keep us in, forever lying
He said„ Then speak these words and it will burst
But remember, you'll have to deal with it all on your own“
I listened, looked at her
She was still holding on
I told her„ This is something I must do“
The bubble blew as I said„ I love you“

Next 3 Weeks
07:08
|

|
I put out my smoke
I put out my thoughts
If you only knew
I don't want it through
You smile with your eyes
Such a clever disguise
While you ache inside
Something you can't hide... you can't hide
I could promise you I'd be close
I could promise you an open door
But these are the words
That seem to be only mine
These are the words
That seem to be only mine
Just shut it out
If you won't shout it out
And your back will bend
Trying to keep it straight
Such a cruel lie
That we both kept alive
You could've never been
Never been mine, never been mine
I could promise you I'd be close
I could promise you an open door
But these are the words
That seem to be only mine
These are the words
That seem to be only mine
Maybe I'll stay
Just for a little while
The next three weeks
I'll try to make you mine, make you mine
I could promise you I'd be close
I could promise you an open door
But these are the words that seem to be only mine
These are the words, that seem to be only mine

Circus
04:51
|
|||
|
Dance, dance, burn your clothes
And seven cats make pirouettes
The chance to stand close
And I can’t seem to take my eyes
Of you
Of you
Of you
Of you
The flame licks your palm
An ivy hugs your naked back
The calm before the storm
We stand blind in its eye
For now
For now
For now
For now
Well I know we will try
To stay in the dark
Control is what we lack
In the circus spotlight
A place in our minds
And words that will remain unsaid
We feel the pulling binds
But we won’t try to break
The chains
The chains
The chains
The chains
In beautiful denial we nod our heads
Error and trial, invisible threads
It’s a puzzle box, we connect the dots
Will we have our luck
When time finally stops
Well I know we will try
To stay in the dark
Control is what we lack
In the circus spotlight
Well I know we will try
To stay in the dark
Control is what we lack
In the circus spotlight

Mailbox feat. Narmi
05:40
|
|||
|
Don't know how many glances it would take
I keep on peeking at our stories
Hidden in our secret mailbox
Waiting for a continuation
And yet if I leave you the pen
A dot is much too hard to add
Words run and fade away
Until we realize it's empty
And I'll take a deep breath and let go
Of all the stories that were told
Let them rest under a lock
Till you bring it back to me, till you bring it back
Till you bring back the key and open it
Well I'm glad we both signed them
I'm glad we both lived them
And I'm ready to wait a bit... more
(Back to me, back to me)
And I'll take a deep breath and let go
Of all the stories that were told
Let them rest under a lock
Till you bring it back to me, till you bring it back
Till you bring back the key and open it
And I'll take a deep breath and let go
Of all the stories that were told
Let them rest under a lock
Till you bring it back to me, till you bring it back
Till you bring back the key and open it
Back to me, back to me
Back to me, back to me
Back to me, back to me
Back to me, back to me
Back to me, back to me
Back to me, back to me
I'm glad we both wroth them
I'm glad we both remember them
And peak at the mailbox every now and then
I'm glad you let me
Say it all so frankly
And I'm ready to keep them safe
I'm glad you'd have me
Say it all so bluntly
But I wasn't ready to let you go

She folds you, stretches your mind
With the memories you left behind
Presses her feet in the gold
Already a million years old
She sets you next to the rest
She sets you both to rest
Pressed her camel to your grid
Already a million times, she did
Gift your ring to the starving sun
So it gifts a life to the paper one. Home
Set sail on the desert sea
With paper bedouins of the one that set you free
Your ship moves closer to Tortoise Shell
And the one that's ringing your bell
Gift your ring to the scorching sun
So it burns a life into the paper one
Your bedouin will call for you
The troubadour that saw through you
From paper to flesh and blood he will wait
Somewhere on Tortoise Shell, he'll be
Ringing your bell
A million times if need be
He'll embrace you, say :"Maggie, you are..."
Home
Home
Home
Home
You are home
You are home

Keep Smiling for Me
05:34
|
|||
|
We knew it, still did it
We blew it, but no regrets
For it's been said in the past
The most beautiful things aren't meant to last
Toe to toe, a running joke
And many more with a smile
You wrote it down, firm and sound
You planted a garden in this ground
So keep smiling for me, and I'll smile for you
But I won't let go of our time in the sun
I'll keep smiling for you though I knew
In the very end I never had you
And every note in your pitch
Every note with your words
A million of messages
Floating bottles lost on your shores
A promise kept, you're in the right
You haven't leapt, you're out of faith
And though I would leap with you
In the end I never had you
So keep smiling for me and I'll smile for you
But I won't let go of our time in the sun
I'll keep smiling for you, though I knew
In the very end I never had you
So keep smiling for me and I'll smile for you
But I won't let go of our time in the sun
I'll keep smiling for you, though I knew
In the very end I never had you

Musings of Muses
11:47
|
|||
|
The moment you stole from the mount, they raged, sending lightning and fire
First there were nine, now you're the tenth
Keep it with you, close to your soul
And as Hermes flies in search for the thief, you hid their rock under the Tortoise Shell
And appointed the scribe to watch and guard
The stone of the tenth muse
Every sundown and morn
The scribe is reborn
For your stone is his
And his stories are yours
Are yours
The moment you took from my mound, I could've raged, light us on fire
First it was mine, now it's been kept
Within you, mixed with your soul
And as thoughts fly in search for the tenth, you hid yourself under the Tortoise Shell
Appointed the scribe to watch and save
The soul of the tenth muse
Every sundown and morn
The scribe is reborn
For your stone is his
And his stories are yours
Are yours
Are yours
Myths aside, characters quiet
I've had it with keeping us alive in thought
I've had it hiding behind my own words
Just take it all 'cause I've no need
You're the tenth, you're what I need
And I plead, plead, please
If I had you, i could finally be silent
You're the tenth, you're the tenth
You're the tenth, you're the tenth
The moment I gave from my mound
I didn't rage when you lit me on fire
First it was mine, oh I didn't know
Without you and your soul, without you and your soul
It wouldn't fly in search for anything at all
And it will be gone, lost
On Tortoise Shell, on Tortoise Shell
We both knew
That in the very end
We could only
Meet there
A 100 steps away
From our house in the trees
Two children at heart
Hidden in a bubble
A morning song a day
An empty mailbox
Two circus acts
Lost in the vast sand
So for the next 3 weeks keep smiling for me
So for the next 3 weeks keep musing for me
So for the next 3 weeks keep smiling for me
So for the next 3 weeks keep musing for me
So for the next 3 weeks keep smiling for me
So for the next 3 weeks keep musing for me
So for the next 3 weeks keep smiling for me
So for the next 3 weeks keep musing for me
So for the next 3 weeks keep smiling for me
So for the next 3 weeks keep musing for me
You are my buddy for chaos, for chaos
Sometimes you need a buddy for chaos, for chaos
Sometimes you need a buddy for chaos
Sometimes you need a buddy for chaos
Sometimes you need a buddy for chaos, you are my buddy for chaos, for chaos
Sometimes you need a buddy for chaos, you are my buddy for chaos, for chaos
For chaos
For chaos
