_______________
It's 8am
And a darkest morning
That I've ever seen
Why the hell am I here?
The sky is pouring
A typhoon soaring
They say that Jonas
Has made it here
Then you smiled at me
And said: "It's fine, it's ok"
Oh, when I look back now
This rain and the cold
Did change this ordinary life
In a way I could not foresee
And set me free
With some sort of care
You said: "You're here now, not there"
Oh, when I look back now
This rain and the cold
Did change this ordinary life
In a way I could not foresee
You cried with your arms outstretched
Out in the rain:
"Oh how I love this goddamn land"
What better way there was to put it?

_______________
On this long and desolate road
One can hear his thoughts
I came here to let them show
I came here to break the noises
Loose yourself to find a hope
To cease control and believe that
You're in too deep to turn your boat from a waterfall
So believe that
Though you're still in my heart
(Long desolate road)
The mind is clear as this pond
(Can hear his thoughts)
No ripples on the surface
(To let them show)
No cloud will hide the sunset
Loose yourself to find a hope
To cease control and believe that
You're in too deep to turn your boat from a waterfall
So believe that
And go with the flow

No Sunrise

_______________
I woke up
Before the dawn
And drove down
To Portobello Beach to catch the rising sun
To see the miracle
I craved for so long
The sun stayed
Behind the clouds
And yet
I greeted that great day with a grateful smile
It seems all I needed
Was there within me

Your Stop
04:10
|

_______________
The morning tram
I get into
On the other side
There's you
I dare not look away
I see into
Your sad eyes,
Behind the blues
And the smile
We shared that day
It changed you
It changed me
Now here we stand again
But this time, I'm near you
And it's your stop
Quite soon
But our smiles
Hide the great things
That we've learnt
As we grew
We changed you
We changed me

Turn It Around

_______________
Hey, gotta turn this around now
I said hey, gotta turn this around
Don't let in your hounds
Take the lonely boy's hand
And let your drinks spin the world
Round round round round round
Like a wound up toy car
"You don't know what you want, do you?"
Well, I sure know what everyone else wants
Hey, gotta turn this around now
I said hey, gotta turn this around
I can't pass your red door
Cannot face your world of hurt
I can't do this dance
Of love guilt shame guilt shame love
The whispers in your mind
Can they be the ones I hear too?
So sick and tired of their lies
Just gotta believe
And turn it 'round now
Hey, gotta turn this around now

_______________
I see you but you're not really there
Shouting, your fist in the air
The smoke you hold is really how
You barely remain here and now
I followed you right outside
Unseen as you continued your fight
You were standing there next to a wall
Where a sign said "New world disorder"
These people, they run, pass you by
They can't look you straight in the eye
But voices you hear - they hear too
They just don't dare reply like you

She Said She Said

_______________
She said, "I know what it's like to be dead.
I know what it is to be sad."
And she's making me feel like I've never been born
I said, "Who put all those things in your head?
Things that make me feel that I'm mad.
And you're making me feel like I've never been born."
She said, "You don't understand what I said."
I said, "No, no, no, you're wrong.
When I was a boy everything was right,
Everything was right."
I said, "Even though you know what you know,
I know that I'm ready to leave
'Cause you're making me feel like I've never been born."
She said, "You don't understand what I said."
I said, "No, no, no, you're wrong.
When I was a boy everything was right,
Everything was right."
I said, "Even though you know what you know,
I know that I'm ready to leave
'Cause you're making me feel like I've never been born."
She said, "I know what it's like to be dead.
I know what it is to be sad.."

_______________
In cold light of day
You fade away
I never knew I
Cared for you
Nor how I should care
For myself
Godspeed, my friend
You won't go in vain
So godspeed my friend
I never spoke to you, to my mind as to minds of many others you were but a spark, an inspiration, a sonic impulse to the soul. In death however, that morning you became far more: a rock in the avalanche rushing to sweep my tomorrow and make space for today
Darkness descends
Above your grave
Fragile that we are
In stillness
I won't waste my time
I find my way
Godspeed, my friend
You won't go in vain
So godspeed my friend
