The more Gothic side of Alternative Experimental Rock
The more Gothic side of Alternative Experimental Rock
Sparkling when you sing is it a thing
Denim on your skin the sun is shining in
Leaves on this road waves are rolling in
Colours in the sky playing with my mind
Soon I'll be there found your place on earth
Warm lights the room candles burning slow
Light beams on the floor slowly close my eyes
Dreams like these do happen have I lost my mind
Am I chasing now raindrops falling down
Running for this train it always fades away
Never last forever these tears won't be mine
Chords like these will never sound like these again

Running down your street
Silence been unleashed
Save my Soul
Empty blindness from your eyes
Burden of your sin
Breath too shallow for a scream
Howling heartbeat no deceit
Save my Soul
Lies around your cruelest smile
Take my head on moss to rest
To rest
Running fast won't lust for you
Lay within your grounds
Save my Soul
Time enough to hate me now
Ghost of sorrow in my head
Join me in your puppet show
Stripped of all my happiness
Save my Soul
Weeping willows drowning me
Breaking branches over me
Over me
Witches casting spells on me
Take away my life it's been
Save my Soul
Stars are falling down on me
Darkness now surrounds can't see
Embracing this reality
No more traces to be seen
Save my Soul
Silence not much left to say
A thousand miles so far away
So far away

Dark Clouds ahead but I can't see it yet
Dirty windows make my vision so impaired
Apples from the trees lying frozen on the ground
Have to get my jacket still cold wrapped around
She said lay next to me and hold my hand
She said lay next to me and hold my hand
Clouds rising from my mouth breathing out
Heart filled with coldness can't speak muffled sound
This wide open web on my path got me down
Lonely I feel in this empty frozen town
She said lay next to me and hold my hand
She said lay next to me and hold my hand
Ice cold wind around the corner straight into my face
Secrets I can't tell you hidden in this maze
Distorted face reflection makes my street puddle sight
Visions from my home where I belong by artificial satellite
She said lay next to me and hold my hand
She said lay next to me and hold my hand

You laid your blanket on the edge of your knee
Sunshine cold breeze you could not foresee
Your heart dancing to your favourite song
Launching spaceships to the stars forever long
And when this road is long and the shops begin to close
And when the streetlights dim you start to feel the rain
So many nights have gone darkness knows your name
Let it be your dawn tonight
You build your castle hide your silent tears
Magic trees fighting your darkest fears
This restless mind racing through the night
Have you lost your key trapped outside
And when this road is long and the shops begin to close
And when the streetlights dim you start to feel the rain
So many nights have gone darkness knows your name
Let it be your dawn tonight
And when this road is long and the shops begin to close
And when the streetlights dim you start to feel the rain
So many nights have gone darkness knows your name
Let it be your dawn tonight
Everything is gonna be alright
Tonight
Everything is gonna be alright
Tonight
Everything is gonna be alright
Tonight
Everything is gonna be alright
Be alright
Tonight

Here I am back again
Do you know my name
Here I am back again
Always just the same
And if it feels alright
Look at the stars tonight
Falling down
Hold me now
Take me now
Here I am
Here I am back again
Do you know my name
Here I am back again
Always just the same
And if it feels alright
Look at the stars tonight
Falling down
Hold me now
Take me now
Here I am

Silence
Not a sound
I rise above my throne never to be found
Silence
Not a sound
I rise above my throne never to be found
Come with me you ghostly gleam
Meet me in your darkest place
Drinking from the mountain stream
Breath your soul deep into me
Silence
Not a sound
I rise above my throne never to be found
No escape from fables wrote
Swords are screaming at my throat
Standing up straight facing them
Never feel your skin again
Silence
Not a sound
I rise above my throne never to be found
Runes of Sorrow only left
Pushing through the past few steps
Thousand lifetimes I became
Was my honour just in vain
Silence
Silence
Silence
Silence
Silence

Waiting at the door
Running towards me
Quick hello no more
No more
Table in the corner
Laid it out for you
Are they staring now
Staring now
Painting is your art
Something non-judgemental
My life is a song
It's a song
Would you write me
Could you write me
A song please
A happy song
Just a happy song
Chasing all these moments
Writing down some thoughts
You said will finish later
Maybe later
Close but still so distant
Yeah that's what we do
This song nothing
Nothing now
Because our timeglass running out
Left your breath behind
I pay you go now
You go now
Would you write me
Could you write me
A song please
A happy song
Just a happy song
Would you write me
Could you write me
A song please
A happy song
Just a happy song

Yes I'm not okay
Thank you for not asking
As this won't make it go away
Thank you for not asking
Another night without you
A thousand Gods will tell you
Thank you for not asking
Escaping from my jail
Just like Jonah and the big whale
thank you for not asking
It will be over anytime
As you entwine the haunted climb
It's like a film you need to know
Without the sound of laughter though
This hopeless boat Hello my friend
Just stop it float and make this end
Your legs and arms around me tight
like Kraken holds me through the night
Yes I'm not okay
Thank you for not asking
As this won't make it go away
Thank you for not asking
Another night without you
A thousand Gods will tell you
Thank you for not asking
Escaping from my jail
Just like Jonah and the big whale
thank you for not asking
It will be over anytime
As you entwine the haunted climb
It's like a film you need to know
Without the sound of laughter though
This hopeless boat Hello my friend
Just stop it float and make this end
Your legs and arms around me tight
