One for the Team
03:24
|
|||
It’s a dream, it’s a dream
and we’re gonna rein it in,
reap the rewards of what we’ve grown
It’s a team, it’s a team
I’m the keeper of the scene
but I don’t wanna play this part alone
Keep a close watch on the good thing you’ve found
clear out the cobwebs of the mind
We can rise above unwise and unkind,
leave all that pettiness behind
Ain’t all gold that glitters but it’s mine!
Decades in you wake up all in a daze
yet all of the goals so far away
Time’s a thief, a hardened act to defeat
but we’re built to last and run the course
This one’s for the team, this one is yours!
(A voice in the wilderness)
-There’s no one coming home tonight
I’m out here on my own tonight!
(Answer)
-It might be a bumpy ride
but we’re still here by your side

Every Other Night
02:47
|

Every other night
when the last light of your life hits your eyes
Every other night
there's a feeling that we're bound to make it right
But I need a ghostwriter
to make my words brighter
cause every single day
I lean over to the shadows
Don't slip in our footsteps
cause we're running with the devil
Don't slide into regrets
there's too much to unravel
I was brave and gave you a promise
from now on I would only be honest
Kicking myself in the morning
Kicking myself at night
Every other day
when you open up your eyes
and check your head
Every other day
when you wake up and regret the things you've said
I need a hard reminder
or the thickest blinders
cause every other night
I believe that we can make it
Don't slip in our footsteps
cause we're running with the devil
Don't slide into regrets
there's too much to unravel
There's a map, there's a path through the madness
but the dirt snaps back like a magnet
Kicking myself in the morning
Kicking myself at night

Gut Feeling
03:02
|
|||
Talk, I guess we need to talk
I didn’t know what I was doing
And I was doing it way too fast
It’s getting worse than I expected
You know how it goes now
I guess we need to talk about it
If we don’t wanna live without it
I guess we need to talk about it
Everybody knows why
You know how, you know how, you know how it goes now
You know how it goes now
Where the wind blows now
A gut feeling there’s something wrong
Woke up on the wrong side
We’ll be getting so tired
A gut feeling we’re not as strong
A gut feeling
A gut feeling there’s something wrong
I can’t complain when no one’s listening
Need to fix it like it used to be
Can’t understand what got into me
You know how it goes now

Living A Dream
04:27
|
|||
In the backseat of the car that you’re attempting to drive
Information doesn’t stick, you pick it up on the fly
So tell me, can you honestly say that you know me?
Can you honestly say that you’ve known me now for so long,
well..you don’t
Now you know,
no means no
This is the life that I believed
that I would lead when I was 5 years,
Living the dream
This is the life that I believed
that I would lead when I was 10 years
Mirror mirror in the morning, such a weary old sight
but I won’t back down on myself so easily without fight
So show me, you’re redrawing the map, how to sell me,
I don’t hold it against you but tell me now,
how long you think it’ll last?
Now you know,
no means no
This is the life that I believed,
that I would lead when I was 5 years,
Living the dream
This is the life that I believed,
that I would lead when I was 10 years
Living the dream
This is the life that I believed,
that I would leave when I was 12 years,
Living the dream
This is the life that I believed,
that I would lead when I was 15
Living the dream
This is the life that I believed,
that I would lead, when I was 20
Living the dream
This is the life that I believed,
that I would lead, when I was 22
Living the dream

Velvet Sky
02:53
|
|||
Down the street, side by side with a dust cart
Waking up but we never went to sleep
And we take a seat in a beat up city
There's a sign saying don't fear the reaper
Too many sun-kissed lies against a velvet sky
At the table, the sound is turning hollow
We dissolve, it's beginning to dawn on me
From a weeping smile to a broken vow
Looking up just to stare into your red eyes
Make it brief, just tell me it's over
It's over
There's a million ways to die
There's a million ways to die
Under a velvet sky

Wrapped Around the Axle
04:04
|
|||
Nothing we can do or say is gonna make it go away
It’s another time now
Even if you had my name we’d be feeling just the same
I don’t wanna be around, can’t be around, I can’t be around
When we're going down
Don’t wanna sing that song
Don’t wanna play along
Tell me what’s going on
We’re getting wrapped around the axle
Don’t know what we have done
Don’t know what’s right or wrong
Tell me what’s going on
We’re getting wrapped around the axle
Everything we ever planned everywhere we used to hang
It’s another time now
I know something's on your mind it keeps nagging all the time
You don’t wanna be around, can’t be around, you can’t be around
When we're going down

Dark Ages
03:20
|
|||
Now the dark ages are back
We all spread the disease,
brought us down to our knees
Now the dark ages are back
No world leader pretend,
could predict such an end
And in all my days of traveling on,
no it never crossed my mind
While I tended my garden, wool in ear,
from where I stood it seemed fine
but now the dark ages are back
All the prophets wear black,
love’s gone under attack
Now the dark ages are back
Ice is melting away,
we just shut up and play
Money, poverty, dignity
is a mix up hard to shake
We’ve been stomping this ground
for a million years,
now the earth’s about to break
I can feel it, I can see it falling apart,
it strays and bends
I can’t heal it, I can’t rip it up
and just start over again
Lend a friend a hand
Can you hear me?
We’re stuck in the dark here,
no light & no way out
Can you tell me?
Is it way too late or
too hard to make it right?
Lord, don’t let me down!
Now the dark ages are back
Corrupt kings in the wings
is what tomorrow will bring
Now the dark ages are back
The new mornings in mourn
how take care of their newborns?

Sick and Tired
04:01
|
|||
I'm sick and tired of the comical
It won't be funny for a long time
I'm sick and tired of the cynical
Because I'm always on the wrong side
You’re going on and on
Like only shadows do
And when you’re gone gone gone
It's getting black and blue
Is there a way to make it okay
Is there a way to make it right
Watching the tide come rolling in
Everybody's changing
Don’t wanna know why you're not around
Don’t wanna know why you departed
Don’t tell me where you been hanging out
I can’t do anything about it
Don’t need to fight it
You can't deny it
Nowhere you can hide
It’s getting overridden
Don’t get too excited
Heaven's getting crowded
Once you're inside it
You be feeling lifeless
Watching the tide come rolling in
Everybody's changing
Watching the tide come rolling in
Don’t need to find no medicine

Silicon Valley Blues
04:33
|
|||
You’ve kept it in the dark,
the secrets of the heart
but finally they will have you all figured out
What makes you laugh and cry,
they have it in their files
so they can add it up to your unique SP
After all is said and done,
you much rather be left alone
but someone’s got your number,
someone’s got your e-mail
Someone puts a name on your door
Someone knows the things you’ve been longing for
All those digits aren’t illegit
They got it all mapped out for you
Someone puts a price on your head
Someone’s making sure that you’ve been well fed
and that status in hiatus won’t stay like that for long,
not very long
This social psychopath,
all decked out in the bath
A shower head might well be a fly on the wall
I’m afraid to talk to you
I’m hoping that a text will do
until I have to meet you again eye to eye
Could call it Orwellian,
he’s begging to be read again
Collecting all the data,
they catch up with you later

Heaven and Hell
08:37
|
|||
Holding your hand while it's pouring down
Clouds letting go like a breathing spell
Learning to draw a line
Between Heaven and hell
Tear out a page from a magazine
Holding the eyes of a famous man
Pushing the envelope
Dragging us back
Painting myself with a trembling hand
Knowing it's not easy to be grand
A sunset in black and white
A pat on the back
Dreading the day as I used to do
(Himlen är nära)
History throws itself back at you
(Helvetet)
An untuned piano
Your voice in the dark
Drowning in a flood of memories
(Himlen är nära)
Sights getting dimmer from all I've seen
(Helvete)
Hug me when I'm too blurred
Shake me to sleep
Ignore a lost soul on the subway train
Facing myself in a carousel
In the burning daylight
Heaven and hell
