We Burn 05:50
Tonight I'm out of control, tonight I'll fight for your cause, whatever it may cost Cus' lights burn, cars crash into the target of love where you hide your box of weapons And Pheonix feathers fall from the sky, reflecting the green light - it's making us shiver The will of thinking is lost at sea and the desert highway ruining us both I've been living in an absent world until now Cold lips are all that I've kissed. And though you're trying to get through the barricades We'll burn We are nothing more than runaways Flowers fighting the frost without no guns Too young to sign the contract of destiny and too old to give up the road But someday the sun will burn us out There must be someway out of here Some glowing exit sign somewhere A map to the vacuum atmosphere A blind transport to the end of time Where your heart is speeding next to mine And your eyes are closed by recalling pleasures I've been observing this old world from a window clear But I've never been able to react But our final destinies they are crucial We'll burn We are nothing more than runaways Flowers fighting the snow without no guns Too young to sign the contract of destiny and too old to give up the road But someday the sun will burn us out

Queens 04:22
I can't tell you that I will by your side forever more my queen Cus' I can't give you diamond rings, and I can't give you ordinary love There's so much in this world that you deserve Lights they shine, but all lovers remain blind The disaster of love is chasing me, right across the atlantic sea Her breath it smells of red wine, yeah, and her crown glows in the dark She tries to convince me that I'm her king But those tender words they mean nothing I know she'll never be my queen, I know it, I know it, I knew it a long time ago I've been trying to sleep at night, but that constant weeping gives me a fright I've never seen her crying away a pillow I open the window and set her free, Cus' a life in order isn't enough for a queen With a butterfly soul And she will fly, yeah she will fly The disaster of love is chasing me Right across the atlantic sea Her breath it smells of cigarettes and her crown glows in the dark She tries to convince me that I'm her king but those tender words, they mean nothing, I know she'll never be my queen I know it, I know it, I knew it a long time ago

Jazz Clubs 03:34
Are you alone tonight? Do you feel the temptation of the Chicago sight? Far from the jazz clubs we vanish slowly Hunted by morning For you I'm irresistible And far from the jazz clubs that you hate my darling Though you still find love there, just like I do myself Are you alone tonight? And do you feel the temptations of the New Orleans light? When you love you make noise And when you hate you fall apart, yes Far from the jazz clubs we vanish slowly Haunted by morning for you I'm irresistible And for from the jazz clubs that you hate my darling Though you still find love there, just like I do myself And I want you to know, how far I can go Without your heart-beats punching the wee boy that's left in me

In decline of solitude, as long as the sun stays out of this I know I'm safe And in search for past in blue A hollow signal from a steamboat shore and I know it's you Roses dried right before they landed in your arms And children cried while you drank your blood red tears And we just talk about hundred ways that changed architecture Observations on buildings we can rely our souls on And we just talk about hundred ways that changed architecture But what do we know about the anatomy of our human hearts? And I know it's too late to talk about our favorite colours Cus' you only give me a hint with those eyes And I know it's too late to mention your sarcastic faces, baby Cus' you walk right upfront to me and slap my cheek The pacific dried in the minute that you mentioned love And flowers died while you kissed the fading fog And we just talked about hundred ways that changed architecture Somber cupolas that we spend our time trying to figure out And we just talk about hundred ways that changed architecture But what do we know about the anatomy of our human hearts?

Who We Are 03:58
The city lights, they shine in front of me But still darling, it's just all too dark to see My love, I get scared when you act all panicky You claim it's all because of your youth And I will give you up someday Yes I, I will give you up It's who we are that kills us, it's who we are, the ones we become It's who we are that drive ourselves around You are now staring right at me With eyes filled of frustration and insanity And I can see myself laying on your couch again, yes Reading the news of yesterday And I will give you up someday Yes I, I will give you up I try to see through your glasses Oh from votre point de vue but I am leaving, I am leaving darling For the Portland View

Violet 06:22
How do you reflect something that isn't black? And how do you face existence, waiting for your life to begin? But I never hesitate my darling, to lose all what is human Winter is calling baby, hibernation is all that I long for There must be something in your blood A universe of energy You've got the strength to light me up Although I am your shadow honey Not even oceans could rip it apart; The anatomy of your heart When I ask you things, you look into my eyes and whisper I don't realise how years pass me by that quickly But I will never be able to face you as old or dead, no But I promise the black-holes they will swallow our ship someday There must be something in your blood A universe of energy You've got the strength to light me up Although I am your shadow, honey Not even oceans could rip you apart

Fall 02:15
I am searching through the streets of my life Through meadows, apple trees and crystals I'm swimming the oceans, you call lakes I am listening to the sound you call silence Did you really love it? Did you trust in hope? Did you tell them that you were leaving? Did you tell them that you were gone? But as long as leaves are green I know that you, you will be fine Your colours are too strong to erase And you are, and will always be mine
