This girl, Carmen, my friend
Born safe, dead end
She used to talk a lot of, girl stuff
Her eager bluff, wasn't quite enough
So she defied the night, like a shooting star
Only to fall, with her unlucky charm
Giving away pieces, of her complete body
Little by little, no grace no glory
Giving away pieces, of her complete body
Little by little
Mary was born a virgin, and died a whore
Seeking solace to her soul
Comfort and money from men
Men who’d manage, to ignore
So she fell in love with that one son
Who already gave away everything
Giving away pieces, of her complete body
Little by little, no grace no glory
Giving away pieces, of her complete body
Little by little, no grace no glory
My friend Carmen, godsend
Born safe, dead end
She lost her challenge, she lost her charm
Lost hope, for her heart to mend
She's in love with a dead man
yeah she's in love with a dead man

The Resolution
03:52

This gut feeling has returned
You can’t ignore it while it burns
We’ve grown together as one,
Now a single cell, splitting up
You gave me all I desired
It took everything to get higher
It’s time to give the deep-six
When you don’t crave for that last fix
Oooooh
This eternal knot that we’d tied
Has loosened up, right on time
Cause I don’t want to hurt you no more
Seems all that I’m good for
Yes I’m biting the bullet hard,
And try to keep up my guard
This time there is not gonna be
A last one who laughs, alas we agree
Oooooh
Tone down the defense
Stop keeping score
Please believe me, we deserve more
Keep a memento,
Sweet memories,
Don’t you ever break our reveries
This dissolution
Don’t make me proud
Better to let go then keep up broken vowes
The resolution,
Beats the doubt,
I’m finally ready to say it out loud

Three

Three new souls, made by two.
They remain part of you.
Most of all, a trinity,
Whole.
Each on their own, the nest they've flown.
All three, the same, so free, they roam,
Through the Bermuda triangles
of love.
A ghost that haunts your holes,
She’ll fill them when you’re going
to let her unfold.
It's so much more than blood we share, a weight
So much more than blood we shed, we gain
So much more than blood, runs through these veins
Three strong seeds, and eager eggs
A petri dish, the biggest prayer
All they need are three wishes
Came true
X & X & X & Y
Similar shapes but different wires
Equal in their deep desires
of love.
A ghost that haunts your holes,
She’ll fill the voids with all you’ll
ever need to know.
It's so much more than blood we share, a weight
So much more than blood we shed, we gain
So much more than blood, runs through these veins
Hear me out, sister, the blood we share, red and warm
Listen in, brother, the blood we shed, a wet alarm
Birth to life and death, next of kin, don’t mean a thing, until
You’ll win, lose, forgive, and when all three is done, you’ll know
Three new souls, made by two.
They remain part of you.
Most of all, a trinity,
Love
A ghost that haunts our holes,
She’ll fill the voids with all you’ll
ever need to know.

Down at The Root
03:08
|

|
When all truths seem to be temporary
And youth slowly starts to lose it's headiness
I pursue, one last charm
Down at the root, where no harm is done
Cover your ears and eyes
Blinding
Infinite black horizon
Blind me
It takes two, to make it through the woods that we're all in
But you know you're on your own
When all you hear are your echo's calling
In pursuit of, one last charm
Down at the root, where no harm is done
Follow them way down
Hiding
The root of a true howl
Howling
oooooh when the wait was long
But now you found
Hiding
Infinite black horizon
Blind me

Late Bloomer
03:32

It’s been so long since we’ve talked
I’m trying not to stumble over my words
Your smile and your grin, hasn’t changed one bit
How I wish, I’d known that you would be here
To you, I’m still a child, while you’ve seen the world
Got lost in the wild, so you haven’t heard
I’ve started to bloom, late bloomer
Hour by hour, late bloomer
Flower by flower
I’ve grown
I’m taking my time, taking my time, honey
I’ve grown
I’m taking it slow, taking it slow, honey
I’ve grown
It has taken a turn, taken a turn, honey
I’ve grown
I’m taking my time, taking my time, honey
I used to let it all go to waste.
The world, got used to her bitter taste.
The thirst, the dust, I left my plants to die
But this seed has outgrown it shy.
I’ve started to bloom.
I’ve grown
I was a small town kid, and you’ve seen the world
Stepped out of the grid, so you haven’t heard
I’ve started to bloom, late bloomer
Hour by hour, late bloomer
Flower by flower
I’ve grown
I’m taking my time, taking my time, honey
I’ve grown
I’m taking it slow, taking it slow, honey
I’ve grown
It has taken a turn, taken a turn, honey
I’ve grown
I’m taking my time, taking my time, honey

Honestly

Honestly, we'll never see it coming.
Well I’ll keep watch, you keep the motor running
Such a waste of effort and you know it
It’s impossible difficult to disarm a bomb in disguise
So when it goes off, let it explode
Honestly, we’ll never hear it coming.
A sirens scream grows out of sweet sound humming
Followed by a blast so loud and numbing
There won’t be any time left to tell a fella why
So let it go now, it’s out of your control
People telling you the threat is ever growing
People believe that they’re really in control of it
People preparing for the things they don’t know and it’s
The oldest story in the book overtold, and the
People keep telling you the threat is growing
People believe that they’re really in control of it
People preparing for the things they don’t know and it’s
The oldest story in the book overtold, and the

No Sleep

Both eyes closed, no sleep
Counted passed a thousand sheep
But in and outside this head
Nothing will stop
And it’s all right
The early morning always comes through
And wakes you from your dreams to soon
I broke my clock
But the ticking will never stop
And it’s all right
These grey times, praised as golden
You and I, both know they are over
Honey, it’s over
Lights off, dreams on
Me, you, in a time-out zone
For as long as it lasts
Nothing beats this it’s the best
Yeah it’s all right
Deep in the night, forgot all I knew
And awoke to soft morning dew
For those with their eyes shut
Everything might seem new
Guess it’s all right.
These grey times, praised as golden.
You and I, both know they are over.
Honey, it’s over
These grey times, praised as golden
You and I, both now it’s an omen
Honey it’s over
Honey it’s over
Honey it’s over
Honey it’s over

Part of It
03:42

A Bar
A Church
A Place you’re finally being heard
Tell them
The truth
You’re a liar, is that so absurd?
Like you, wanna be a part of it
Like you, wanna belong a bit
Like you, I want to recommit
Like you, Like you
Old friends
Pass by
While you’re still waiting down that line
Too bold
Too shy
The errors left in our design
Like you, wanna be a part of it
Like you, wanna belong a bit
Like you, I want to recommit
Like you, Like you
Like you, wanna be a part of it
Like you, wanna belong a bit
Like you, I want to recommit
Like you, Like you
