Take your time
I’m at your side
Travel safe
Your future’s bright
Don’t feel lonely
Smile and find
We’re just silent
This faded night
We will keep our
Dive deep and find us
Don’t be frightened
Loose your blindness
No need to fight
Go where you go
Your state reminds us
To let you go
And keep our silence
We will keep our

She Mumbles

Mum, she mumbles
What you told me last night
Still has me thinking
Now you’re out of sight
Mum, she mumbles
Have you seen dad
I missed him at breakfast
Is he still in bed?
Mum, she mumbles
May I marry this man
And go where he takes me
Do you understand
Will you come with us?
To sing away the affair
Until vapor vanishes
Revealing solid air
Mum, she mumbled

Sam

He only took the old piano
And left the rest behind
He painted and polished
Till it fit in his new life
With a brand-new telescope
In the mirror magnified
He watches himself struggle
In the past, losing his wife
Sam got stuck
In his shelter from the storm
Sam got lost
Trying to hide from home
There’s a room full of paintings
Parallels, morphing lines
Day after day he sits here
While his self esteem declines
With a colorful blindfold
He’s stuck in a maze
With the paper-thin woman
Who now rules his days
Sam got stuck
In his shelter from the storm
Sam got lost
Trying to hide from home

You’ve got to see it while you can’t see it
You want to see it but you won’t see it
You wouldn’t see it while you sure see it
You’ll never see it if you don’t see it
You say that you run and run and run and run
And chase what you’re after
Telling me to go and go and go and go
And go and go faster
Always wanting more and more and more and more
But not for the better
Hungry eyes that grow and glow and grow and glow
Until they will shatter
Always playing hide and seek
With no one to be found
Always playing hide and seek
With no one to be found
You say that you know and know and know
But know that I know you’re lying
You say that you don’t, you don’t, you don’t, you don’t
And still you keep trying
Always playing hide and seek
With no one to be found
Always playing hide and seek
With no one to be found

Can't You See

So you tell me your happy
Now tell me, who’s your real friend
Why can’t you tell me directly
That you had it all planned
Well, does it matter what I think
Does it matter what I do
Do you still notice there’s more in this world then just you
So you tell me you want it
Now you figured all out
So you take for granted
Know we won’t scream and shout
Well, does it matter what we think
Does it matter what we do
Do you still notice there’s more in this world then just you
No time to process
No time to think

Overdrive
04:05
|

Endless nights of desire
Blindly driving up a wall
With smoking wheels of fire
Wasted, wanting it all
Chasing lines
Overdrive
Every time
I, fly-by-night
Torn apart and reassembled
Driven by short skirts and tights
Disappearing in darkness
Looking for green lights
Chasing lines
Overdrive
Every time
I, fly-by-night
Look at yourself
Chasing lines
Tell me where you’ve been
Look at yourself
Who you are
You’re no mean machine
What do you do
When the mirror shows
A stranger took your place
Do you go?
Do you go?
Do you go?
Chasing lines
Overdrive
Every time
I, fly-by-night
Chasing lines
Overdrive
Every time
I, fly-by-night

Ten Years

Slowly we drop in
Morning, sunlit
To celebrate life and the loss of it
We will not forget
Ten years, incomplete
All our expectations, you did exceed
You got lost, did not proceed
We will not forget
You ask attention, cold feet
Memories turning up heat
Today history does not repeat
We will not forget
Words wander slowly through the room
From your chest and start to bloom
With warm regret, like sweet perfume
We will not forget
I do it for your love
I do it for our loss
Never crossed my mind to give up
I do it for your love
I do it for our loss
I still need your love
