It’s not my greed
It’s what I bleed
I need to dive into the dark
and come out clean
And if you bruise your knees
And if you bruise your knees
Hey, what’s wrong with you?
So while I wait, it’s running through my veins
Take me away and get me high
So while I wait, it’s running through my veins
Take me away and get me high
Your crooked teeth
Have crimson bleach
I’m fighting inch by inch
But it’s never in my reach
Hey, what’s wrong with you?
So while I wait, it’s running through my veins
Take me away and get me high
So while I wait, it’s running through my veins
Take me away and get me high
If my blood is shaking
If my mind is aching
Take me to my Avalon
If my heart is singing
If I can’t stop spinning
Take me to my Avalon
So while I wait, it’s running through my veins
Take me away and get me high
So while I wait, it’s running through my veins
Take me away and get me high

Bluebird

Sitting in a dark room
I´m tired of breathing this air
A man in a brown suit
Says ill see the light soon
It’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing yearning for the Mida’s touch
It’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing yearning for the Mida’s touch
I am the rolling thunder
I am your vintage hero
Will I survive tomorrow?
Only you know
All these words feel like barking
They don’t seem to make any sense
The bluebird on a branch is
Wondering when will it end
And as the lies come clearer
I’m convinced and I bury my head
Can I look in the mirror?
Bluebird, save me from the dread
It’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing yearning for the Mida’s touch
It’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing yearning for the Mida’s touch
I am the rolling thunder
I am your vintage hero
Will I survive tomorrow?
Only you know
The rolling thunder
Bluebird’s calling me

By Your Side
04:34

There comes a time when you know that it’s all over
Not dead nor alive and oh, so not sober
Mistakes have been made, the moments you’d trade to change your life
A smile she stole, this heart made of coal, black clouds in your skies
And though
Though you feel there’s no one
You’re not bare alone
On the edge of the knife
Running for my life
I’ll be by your side
I’ll be by your side
Time and time again you know there’s nothing you can do
To quit or play this game you know you can’t become a fool
Hear the voices of your friends but in the end there’s only facts
You wish that you could stay, your scars scream you can’t go back
And though
Though you feel there’s no one
You’re not bare alone
On the edge of the knife
Running for my life
I’ll be by your side
I’ll be by your side
And though, though you feel there’s no one
You’re not bare alone
On the edge of the knife
Running for my life
I’ll be by your side
I’ll be by your side

The Weight Of My Ways

If I could see what lies ahead
I’d dive right in and hope it doesn’t hurt
But the wait is burning my toes
And when I hear myself I’ll know
These echoes will just come back down my throat
Chances are your head is shaking
Can you see that I’m not wasting the fight left in my bones?
When the count comes down to zero
Was it a trance or just a… was it just a fever?
What if the rain just falls too hard?
What if it just isn´t in the cards for me
And when I hear myself I’ll know
These echoes will just come back down my throat
Chances are your head is shaking
Can you see that I’m not wasting the fight left in my bones?
When the count comes down to zero
Was it a trance or just a fever?
The in’s, the out’s, the silent shout
My hands are growing old but they don’t seem to know
A dire chance, the reckless dance of everything I do
I hear your voices, they’re only noises that berate my choices
If I could do it all again
One last time
Chances are your head is shaking
Can you see that I’m not wasting the fight left in my bones?
When the count comes down to zero
Was it a trance or just a fever?

Break
03:08

I’m getting tired of this situation
Controlled by my frustration
In innuendo as the days go by, grab on to a comet and fly
It’s the only way your problems can be solved today
No need to run, no need to hide
There’s no mistake, I need to
Break (break) to the end of the line
Fallen shutters always on my mind
(Break) what I can find
Fallen shutters always on my
What’s the use, no abuse, stabbing a man in the back while truce
Why do you feel you have no satisfaction, step on up to the main attraction
Run back to the scene of the crime just to find out no revolver, no nine
Insignificant and lonely will be the only feelings you’ll share
No need to run, no need to hide
There’s no mistake, I need to
Break (break!) to the end of the line
Fallen shutters always on my mind
(Break!) what I can find
Fallen shutters always on my

Hush
03:47

Hush, so you can hear
The storyteller’s splintered words
He speaks, you’ll see
Demons and pearls
Over the edge he drove away
The two thumbed surreal man
Flew away, on a canon babe
Hush, to loath and fear
The predator will soon appear
He hunts swine and typewrites
With guns on an acid craze
Over the edge he drove away
The two thumbed surreal man
Flew away, on a canon babe

Trouble With The Times

If I go back
To the place
Change the river
Of time and space
Start this tale at the very end
A landscape torn too much to mend
All the pieces you would have to change
Or watch it all go up in flames
Its seems to be so hard to make things brighter
Down in the mud it’s hard to run
And when you sleep my dear you’ll feel much higher
But always come back again
The river won’t stop for anyone
There’s no hope now
Press rewind
All the trouble
With these times
And I’m searching far and wide and blue
In an ocean that’s been bruised
From a fight we seem to have been scorn
Can’t turn back time or be reborn
Its seems to be so hard to make things brighter
Down in the mud it’s hard to run
And when you sleep my dear you’ll feel much higher
But always come back again
The river won’t stop for anyone
Smile darling don’t hide under your bed
It’s just an old story with a brand new end
Its seems to be so hard to make things brighter
Down in the mud it’s hard to run
And when you sleep my dear you’ll feel much higher
But always come back again
The river won’t stop for anyone

I'm Not Here
04:34

You walk through the forest
With wind in your mind
And lights shine upon us
But you never understand
I am not a painter
I’m an artist on trapeze
I fly trough the colors
I float on the breeze
And It’s hard enough to say that I’m not here
Even though it all seems so clear
Just to write another word my dear
I, I’m not here
And I, I’m not here
And it’s hard enough to say that I’m not here
Even though it all seems so clear
Just to write another word my dear
You scream behind me
As waves come and go
The sun on the horizon
Is melting to gold
But it’s hard enough to say that I’m not here
Even though it all seems so clear
I‘ll have to write another word my dear
I, I’m not here
And I, I’m not here
And it’s hard enough to say that I’m not here
Even though it all seems so clear
Just to write another word my dear
I, I’m not here
And I’m not here
And it’s hard enough to say that I’m not here
Even though it all seems so clear
Just to write another word my dear
Just to write another word my dear
My dear

Lost In The Maze
04:37

The smell of wine and fine cigars
Come to mind when I leave this filthy bar
My clothes that reek of bitter lust
You can’t sleep, but I lay I must
And when there’s no one, you feel that no one cries
A thought that holds you and feel that you can hide… in the maze
The wooden floors that I call home
Bleed with rom and see though stones
The fire I need to kill the cold
Took my money and left but not alone
And when there’s no one, you feel that no one cries
A thought that holds you on a rainy afternoon
And when there’s no one, you feel that no one cries
A thought that owns you as you pick up your stride (lost inside the maze)
Does it amuse you?
This silly blue tune?
