Music 03:20
In a different city in a different world We were running ‘round And that was when we heard music What we had in common where we thought we’re going In a misty morning Just overflowing with music On the answering machine there’s a familiar voice so easily recognized Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up And I’ll be there Music on the windscreen of my dreams Music in the dark end of the street Every time there’s music It’s gonna be all or nothing at all Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up And I’ll be there You can breathe it in you can breathe it out When you're out for the count I'll stick around like music They say what you do is coming back to you With a different view it’s all connected When the dots projected through music On the wave of notes we ride And live forever through a melody Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up And I’ll be there

In the evening, lost in conversation without deliberation We're like windmills, never learned the lesson of this passive aggression We have a lot of common ground now But I'm still addicted to your know-how You have no reason to be reasonable I have no reason to be terrible And though it's getting kind of comical We're gonna get it back babe We're gonna make it happen! In the morning when I don't wanna wake up and you don't wanna make up It begins to dawn on me, if we fuck it up completely, I still recall it fondly Lost on the highway route to nowhere But let’s enjoy it 'til we get there! You have no reason to be reasonable I have no reason to be terrible And though it's getting kind of comical We're gonna get it back babe, We're gonna make it happen! Ooo, they say you don't choose, you just know Ooo, I always knew, hate to say I told you so Sometimes I hate to love you though but I love you so When we're older, stare into the fire, our limbs worn out and tired I don't wanna fight you baby, we'll always stay connected, no point trying to reject it Maybe by then we both have found out That this is it! It's for life! You have no reason to be reasonable I have no reason to be terrible And though it's getting kind of comical We're gonna get it back babe We're gonna make it happen!

Drama King 03:46
Been a saint, been a sinner Been a punk, been a rebel Been a fool, been a smart-ass I was your friend, now I’m a stranger I’m a Drama King Baby! I’m not half the man that I could be when you’re not next to me Gotta work through the pain To a stale yesterday I’ve been blind, I’ve been tortured From dot to dot, from us to nowhere I’m a drama king, Baby! I’m not half the man that I could be when you’re not next to me Drama, drama, drama king Drama, drama, drama king Drama, drama, drama king Drama, drama, drama

Rusty Nail 03:05
I can’t stop, forgot Now it’s nothing but a, a hard knot I keep thinking of it I can’t stop and now it’s all my life I knew something but it’s all wrong I had answers but they’re all gone But I keep working on it I can’t stop and now it’s all my life I keep getting that rusty nail again all the time I had dreams I had dreams where I wanna be All my life I never knew how much it meant to me All the time I had dreams I had dreams where I wanna be All my life A self taught, soft spot Now I know I tried it full stop Didn’t know about it but I know I like it all my life I’m tangled up now I know its never just black or white I can’t stop now, its gonna be all my life

When the ocean never ends Meets a blue sky just like heaven You know it's just a haven for your dreams And so, it's never really all it seems Red turns into blue Green just want bleed through Guess you'll have to do without it When old lovers stay best friends Life’s on tap, a bird ascending You know it's just a story seldom told Good poetry sometimes make out with frauds I believed in you What else could I do? Now I have to do without it The naive stands prosecuted If there's truth it's soon diluted Run for shelter when the earth quakes Build a fortress round your heartbreak Still the waves comes crashing in Sun set for the new beginning Looks like luck is one thing ourselves can't choose But it’s likely hope's the last thing that we lose Red turns into blue Pink comes bleeding through Might as well just live and love it This is all there is That is all there was I am up for endless reruns (Equal all in love and loved ones) I am up for endless reruns

Idiosyncrasy 02:48
Behind the wall of modesty Comes the sound of my poetry I call out twisted lies, Words that rhyme Life is a waste of time in your state of mind Got a tremendous ability, A narcissistic ebriety I’m too vain to be insane It’s not you, it’s not you it’s me Idiosyncrasy Live to let myself free Egocentricity Superficially I’m all that matters to me Hear me laugh like a maniac When I glide through the cul de sac I stab a hole in the everyday With the needle from a haystack Step aside my borderline It’s not you, it’s not you it’s me Idiosyncrasy Live to let myself free Egocentricity What you think of me is all the same to me Idiosyncrasy Got my Skeleton key Egocentricity Superficially I’m all that matters to me

Pull your dress on cause were going out, going out out of nowhere into something Hurry up now cause it’s time to go, time to go out of nowhere into something Up and around the bend Out of our heads again See it in my sleep I can’t explain it, can’t explain it I know I want you, to know what I’m on to There’re a thousand things we need to do we need to see Out of nowhere, into something Up and around the bend Out of our heads again Let’s go looking for it Hard to see hard to find Let’s go looking for it We got nothing but time Call it what you want it’s always better than it sounds Just remember everybody needs to go out Out of nowhere into something Out of nowhere into something In the city we’ve been hanging out and running ‘round A humble beginning, the bubble we’ve been in If it’s going wrong it’s something we can call our own On to something out of nothing Up on the swing again Look it is happening

Light is fading, winter is calling, summer is falling down Autumn shape my senses sharp Like I'm feeling, all of the people, all that is painful now And it's making this so hard What if the song I'm singing just pretends? Wrapped around the finger of contempt But I'm gonna change that tune This shtick is wearing thin It's my voice You dial and dig in Your choice A Simple Song of Sin All the days that builds to a lifetime looks swell in hindsight but Struggles in the present tense Eyes wide open, all that you see can be hard to carry through Into imagination Shadows growing taller every night Self-reflection smaller and uptight But I'm gonna drop that look This shtick is wearing thin It's my voice You dial and dig in Your choice A Simple Song of Sin When you're restless and easily upset it's hard You forget to remember to forget What if the song you're singing just pretends? It's not even beginning and it never ends? But I'm gonna change my tune This shtick is wearing thin It's my voice, You dial and dig in Your choice A Simple Song of Sin But I'm gonna drop that look This shtick is wearing thin It's my voice, You dial and dig in Your choice A Simple Song of Sin

A Week-End 03:39
A broken glass in a swimming pool A fall in a dying afternoon A breath on one last cigarette You leave me scrolling on your telephone Fading footsteps down the stairs Trembling branches in the air A whisper in a megaphone We’re only good for a weekend Through a gap in a broken wall Half asleep in a new-built mall Like Charles Darwin in a Disney world I spot you scrolling on your telephone You lick your gums, you itch your cheek I’m moving back to the exit The sun beats down on the city street We’re only good for a weekend Only good Only good for a weekend Only good, only good We're only good for a weekend A broken glass in a swimming pool A fall in a dying afternoon A breath on one last cigarette

On The Brink 04:12
On the brink of my eternity A well I almost fall into I've been thinking 'bout what's called destiny And the things you never do I've been trying hard, yes, I've been trying hard I've been trying hard to do them too Like the things you never told me then Did you try too hard to please? Did you ask yourself; "what if and when?" Did it fly off in the breeze? I've been trying hard, yes, I've been trying hard I've been trying hard to catch those dreams These things matter more than we know These dreams send us to the stars This life is the only one and Your luck is my guide In the hour of our confession In the times we fear the most We get judged beyond dimension for our silly little faults I've been trying hard, yes, I've been trying hard I've been trying hard to make it right These things matter more than we know These dreams send us to the stars This life is the only one and Your luck is my guide We all carry guilt and burdens So a back gets crooked and bent And we rarely never mention The forgiveness, heaven-sent I've been trying hard, yes, I've been trying hard I've been trying hard to let it in

about

Endless Dream is the band's eighth full length and follows 2018’s Darker Days – an album that found the trio taking it back to where it all began, just the three of them striping away the outside noise. They started working on the new LP almost immediately after Darker Days. “We were in a good place” said Peter adding “it’s the light to the darkness – the day to the night.” Eriksson adds, “This time the tone is bright. It’s about people trying to find colors in this dark world.”
