April/September
03:35
|

I remember last September
Don't worry you're just out of your mind
The lights were bright and you were forever
But still I woke up nowhere
The beauty of hindsight is now or never
I walk on water, I drown in air

Careless Word
04:02
|
|||
Nothing ever happens, yet nothing stays the same
I gave as good as I got
I gave it my all but it was a losing game
You were never mine to claim
Nothing is ever over if you don‘t really begin
An arsenal of excuses
This is not my world, it‘s just some place I live in
Dressed in someone else‘s skin
A careless word can do so much harm
So darling hush, hush don‘t say a single word
These walls have ears and these ghosts have tongues
So darling hush, hush don‘t say a single word
We we‘re born to run but we don‘t go anywhere
You only stand by me
When the night has gone and you can not find a chair
There‘s more to life than being there
A careless word can do so much harm
So darling hush, hush don‘t say a single word
These walls have ears and these ghosts have tongues
So darling hush, hush don‘t say a single word
A careless word
I'll build a bonfire from your broken bones
I'll dance naked in the middle of war zones
I'll be your shadow so you'll never be alone again

Quicksand (In the dark)
02:42
|
|||
All my thoughts are left in the dark
Now all that‘s left is truth
All my love is left in the dark
Now all that‘s left is you
All my past is left in the dark
Now all that‘s left is youth
All I‘ve had is left in the dark
Now there‘s nothing left to loose
Honey there‘s no need to understand
You and me we are both second hand
Honey there‘s no need to understand
You and me we are two lines drawn into this quicksand
All my life is left in the dark
In the lost and founds with you
All my dreams are left in the dark
With the nightmares that came true
All my songs are left in the dark
Now all that‘s left is the blues
All I‘ve done is left in the dark
Now there‘s nothing left to do

Parades
04:01
|
|||
Station to station and door to door
We all got something to answer for
The waves are going to a distant shore
Am I wrong for wanting more
The keyword is courage
In a thousand forms of fear
Sunshine follows
Fuck the rain that falls on your parades
Sunshine follows
If you just wait
Here we go again dancing in the dark
A broken neon light shines just for us
You were the future in the distant past
The present never seems to last

By the sea
04:24
|
|||
I know that it‘s over your heads off my shoulder
I know it‘s now where it should be
She said i look older and that‘s when I told her
These last nights are catching up with me
I‘ll always be right here waiting
Down by the sea
Just you and me
I know things are changing, it‘s all part of ageing
And death is just one way to cheat
The victims we‘re blaming and the sluts we are shaming
We‘re woke but still fast asleep
I‘ll always be right here waiting
Down by the sea
Just you and me
I know that you‘re gone
But I will be right here waiting oh so patiently
I know that you‘re crying, my brain cells are dying
And I‘m thinking of new ways to bleed
There is no point in hiding and I‘m tired of trying
When you‘re love is all that I need

Bright lights, dark city
03:03
|
|||
To all the hearts I borrowed
You were just a steal away
And if there‘s no tomorrow
Can I have any other day
Well I know, I know you are an unturned stone
But I still smile as you roll away
I know all the paths I followed
We‘re just there to lead me astray
Hold on, how did it all go wrong
Now hold on, how did it all go wrong
Hold on, how did it all go wrong
Hold on do bright lights turn you on, oh no
To all the drugs I swallowed
You were placebos anyway
And I know that come tomorrow
We‘ll just repeat yesterday
Well I know, I know you are an unturned stone
But I still smile as you roll away
If you think my heart is shallow
You should take a look at my brain

Out of the blue
04:08
|
|||
There is no need to panic
But you should worry a lot
A piece of meat on a fruit tree
All eyes on the blind spot
The past is on fire
And we‘re lost in the smoke
I‘m a ghostwriter for hire
A punchline to your joke
Out of the blue
Into you
A footnote in your story
Another face in the crowd
If you give god all the glory
You can give me your doubts
We are two oceans
And we‘re worlds apart
Your faith and devotion
Will never be enough

A Girl called desire
04:06
|
|||
She is faster than light
And she dances at the speed of sound
She is darker than the night
She's the only one alive in this ghost town
She got it made but I got it covered
She got it made for now
I know a girl that is called desire
But I still don't know how to feel
I thought I was keeping it real
She is bigger than life
She is the sea in which I drown
She is holier than any god in the sky
She is deeper than the underground

After the flood
04:05
|

Skydiving little Sister
We will never be bones again
Shit talking little mister
We never be bones again
After the flood
It will dry up after the flood
Stargazing big sister
We will never be bones again
Shit stirring little mister
We will never be bones again

Kensho
03:45
|
|||
Put on your oxygen mask
Before your reincarnation
But you know the beauty of the ride
Always tops the destination
There‘s still some meat left on my bones
And my heart is kind of beating
You can be a thrower of stones
Or the queen of the retreating
There‘s a light in your eyes
So why do I see darkness
Our ship has capsized
And they couldn‘t care less
Dance to the rythm of your own drum
In you my heart will keep on beating
You don‘t have to be number one
And there is nothing wrong in cheating
Einhverntímann verður allt fyrst
Líka síðasti dansinn
