How Happy

On an empty street
You feel like you’re lost
On an empty street
You feel like you’re lost
You realize
You’ve gone astray
You’ve lost your core
You’ve lost your way
It ain’t your fault
Although that’s what you’ve been told
Don’t hurry up
Take your time
Don’t worry now
You’ll be fine
You’re gonna get it right
The moment you decide
If you loved yourself
Like I love you
If you loved yourself
Like I love you
If you loved yourself
Like I love you
How happy
How happy
Would you be
All the love you need
Is waiting on you
All the love you need
Is waiting for you
Don’t feel ashamed
To be alone
Don’t be afraid
You still belong
Into this world
We’re all here to learn
The things that you want
The things that you need
And now it won’t be long
Get ready to receive

Dark Girl

She don’t
She don’t want a hero
She’s fine
Alone
Out there in the wild
And she knows
She always knows better
So right
So bright
Pretty like a child
Dark Girl
You live inside of a dark world
Live inside of your memory
Give a little sign
Dark Girl
Is it true that you still hurt?
Is there a lession you did learn?
Shine your holy light
She won’t
She won’t ever tell you
If you
Don’t know
She won’t let you know
And she’ll go
She’ll go see the world
She’ll be
Nowhere
She’ll be everywhere

We live our lives
Don’t like to compromise
We like to think we’re right
To be better off alone
It’s called normality
The way it has to be
Petty controversies
Disconnect us endlessly
And we’ve wasted
Wasted
Wasted
Wasted
Wasted so much time
We’ve been missing
Missing
Missing
Missing
Out on all those smiles
This thing we had
Seems lost and gone
And has been for
Too long
There’s more to life
Than holy pride
I’d like to try
Again
We tell ourselves
We don’t need no one else
All of our former friends
All the relations that we’ve shelved
We’re fine with getting by
We’re too afraid to try
Why can’t we reconcile?
You know we’re running out of time
And we’ve wasted
Wasted
Wasted
Wasted
Wasted so much time
We’re longing
Longing
Longing
Longing
For the day to make it right

Our World
03:53

Devil he called me
Devil he called today
Devil he told me
To believe everything he says
The devil is sprawling
The devil is calling now
And people are falling
For all that he says somehow
But it’s high time we tried
To fight for what’s right
To stand up and unite
For our world
It’s our world
The devil’s assuring
The devil is touring now
The devil’s imploring
For we will ignore our doubts
The devil is dancing
On every screen today
He wants to be seen and
Make sure we look away
Now it’s high time we tried
To fight for what’s right
To stand up and unite
For our world
And they aim for our minds
They pawn and they bind
Lest we dissent and align
For our world
It’s our world

You
And me
Set out to see
The world
We felt the need
To proof
That we could write a song
That would be recognized
That could change our lives
We tried with persistency
Believed it was meant to be
Meant to be
But you don’t care
You don’t like anyone
You don’t like anything
And you’re never giving in
Oh, oh
You don’t dare
To step out of your comfort zone
Cynical to the bone
Now I’d rather be alone
You
And me
Brothers in arms
And on
A race to the top
From a place
Where we did not belong
Right before the dawn
This close to breaking through
You would be moving on
Did it work out for you?
Out for you

Left For Dead
03:20
|
|||
|
Underneath the ocean
Up in there in the sky
All across the stars and
Rallying the tides
We had become explorers
We were the chosen ones
We set out to do what
What no one else had done
But without understanding
Being too demanding
A dream abandoned
And left at that
The ship got stranded
The crew disbanded
Disassembled and
Left for dead
Driven by ambition
Music was our love
Though not every pirate
Knew how to tie a knot
We would climb on mountains
Walk those extra miles
All the while believing
It’d be worth our while
The ship got stranded
The crew disbanded
Disassembled and
Left for dead
But after all the waling
After all the failing
The gods are sailing
Once again

Supreme
04:54
|

|
Do you know what’s best for you?
In a way you do
Can’t help but sing the blues
Feeling so confused
In a world that’s upside down
You long to understand
The answer’s all around
Everywhere you stand
One day we will find
Deep within our hearts
There’s an inner voice
There’s a brand-new start
Dark days begone
For love reigns supreme now
What do you want from life?
Do you want the truth?
Without freedom in our time
There can be no truce
In this battle for control
The world is shrinking down
Will you do as you’re told?
Or listen to your soul?

Her Light Shines
04:19
|
|||
|
Something’s taken over me
A little voice that I’d like to
Give in
And dig in
And she revived a part of me
I’d buried deep within me
For too long
I can move on
Cause her light shines
Her light shines
Her light shines
On me
Her light shines
Her light shines
Her light shines
So bright
I love the way she’d given me
The opportunities to
Miss her
I did miss her
All those years we’ve been apart
Been waiting for a way to start
Over
This Ain’t over

Open Door
04:41

Do you remember the days?
Do you remember the ways?
We used to gather around
And used to play
The songs that
Saved our
Our day
In time, this darkness subsides
In time, we’ll open our eyes
Once we have cleared our minds
We’re gonna find
The sublime and
Divine are
At play
I
I
I see an open door
I
I
I see there’s something more
Now there’s no turning back
Now we can’t stay where we’re at
The course that has been set
Is very nice
But it won’t be
It can’t be
For us
So let the healing begin
Embrace the world that we’re in
Forgiven all of our synths
A revelation
Will come with
Patience
And trust
