Patterns

First step: get your breathing right
If you count in twos then you’re doing it right
I’ve been sitting in this driveway for quite some time
Forget why we trust in lies
Can we find some space for some piece of mind?
I’ve been sitting in this driveway losing time
I can’t move, oh
Let it unroll
Before I grow old
I can’t move, oh
He holds me in his arms
And I feel like a child
He forgets how to smile
And I feel like a child
I can’t move, oh
I can’t move, oh
What do I know about the world I’m in?
Let it unroll before I grow old
So I can remember all I know
Thoughtlessly we tread
I’m counting numbers instead
Laying in my bed
I’m seeing patterns blue and red

Mindless Consumption

Mindless consumption
Of the things that we want
But we just can't have
Is taking its toll
A simple erosion
Of the way that we think
Is all we know
We look towards the shadows
To things we can't perceive
We try to find the answers
To things we do not need
We don't need to worry
For things we can achieve
'Cause other things are coming
The things we do not see
We consume the words we don't understand
And we tell the world our unknown plans
Losing all the time what we once had loved
Repeating all the trends from the ones above
We don't need to worry
It'll fall into our arms
Just take it as it comes
Oh, we don't need to worry
It'll fall into our arms
Just take it as it comes
Oh
Westernisation of civilisations
A so called sophistication
Is taking a rise and we'll never know
What life would be like
Qualifications
Are ruling the nation
So what's your role?
We look towards the shadows
To things we can't perceive
We try to find the answers
To things we do not need
We don't need to worry
For things we can achieve
'Cause other things are coming
The things we do not see
We consume the words we don't understand
And we tell the world our unknown plans
Losing all the time what we once had loved
Repeating all the trends from the ones above
We don't need to worry
It'll fall into our arms
Just take it as it comes
Oh, we don't need to worry
It'll fall into our arms
Just take it as it comes
Oh

Losing Control

Losing control
You have taken over my senses
Will you let me go?
No, ‘cause I don’t want you to
Break these walls down
Will you set me free?
Cast my cage out
Will you let me be?
Oh, ‘cause I don’t want you to
Where’re you from?
What’s your name?
Don’t tell me you’re the same
Burn up my flame
Run away, fly away
Get me out of here
Take my open wounds and heal
Run away, fly away
Give me space to breathe
Spread my open wings and feel
Stand on the shore
Look across the water
And see you
Tightly grip my torch
Turn out the light to help me
Find my way back into reality
Open water
I swim out to sea
No, too hard to stay afloat
Losing control
Throw me a rope
‘Cause I just can’t cope
Leave me alone
Just let me go
I will be back
Just give me time to revive
I’ll ignite the fire
And burn desire
Away, away, away...

Feel It Again

Solid gold's the only way to go
Young or old
You wanna feel good that's for sure
Garden green or so it seems
All these people make life easier for me
I wanna feel it
Feel it again
And I wonder, I wonder
I wonder how
Ooh yeah, there are many things
I'd rather be, I'd rather see tonight
I swear all I see is me
And all that's real is hidden by disguise
Ooh yeah, there are many things
I'd rather be, I'd rather see tonight
A world in black and white
Can I see through more than just these eyes?
Rose-coloured glasses
Help me filter out the light
A walk down there has a lot more to show
Without the lenses I can feel myself grow
A world in black and white
Can't see the light
Rather be where I can feel the high
I wanna know
I gotta go understand
I don't know
I wanna feel what it's like
Wanna know
I gotta go find myself on my own
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder
I wonder how I can feel it again

Closure
04:58
|

|
Speak out, I’m listening
Step close, you’re out of focus
Stop holding back all the pieces
Can’t we have closure?
Don’t tell me another story, don’t lie
I wanna know how it fell out of reach
Take me to the forefront of our history
We can relive all this misery
To see where we went wrong
And I won’t let it change me
I won’t block out all the memories
Even though these thoughts are killing me
I need to know my faults
Or I won’t let this go
Try not to take notice
Of all my corrupt decisions
I’ve made so many
I’ve lost track of where I’m going
I can’t focus on the future through the haze
I wanna know how it fell out of reach
I won't let it go
(It's taking over)
I need to know
(I need your shoulder)
To give me closure
So I can gain composure
And look towards my future
As the past is swept away

Memory Trees
04:20

First glance causes no connection
No chance I will see your face
In any of my dreams
No chance it seems
Time flies and I’m overwhelmed with your eyes
Which I saw for only seconds at a time
Suddenly you’re mine
Who knew you’d step into my dreams?
Tears drop from the sky
You were right by my side
In a whirlpool of seas
Swaying memory trees
Do you dream about me?
We were lovers you see
Faces swirl and I drop
I remember, I forgot
Since when did you wander by me?
Back then I was walking, too oblivious to think
Caught you with a blink
I dared
Believed imitations fooled and cared
Now the haze is fading away
Will we meet one day?
Who knew you’d step into my dreams?
Who knew you’d step into my dreams?
Who knew you’d step into my dreams?
Slowly leaving this place
Let me stay!
Please let me stay!
I can’t keep leaving this place
Let me stay!
Please let me stay!
I dream of you and me
I dream of memory trees
