4. Picture yourself in your bed dreaming
Do you see a boy
You as a child by the sea
Leaning up against the wind
Water is always cold to begin with
‘til it numbs the skin
Pick up a stone, throw it in deeper
To wash up again
I’m a driver stuck inside a big truck
Driving with no breaks or gears
I can’t explain why
Maybe it’s ‘cause my system is driven by fear
I fly straight for the sun
In a capsule of paper
And all day long I rerun
What I can’t undo, what’s already been done
Nothing remains when I glue these parts
And the pain is real
I picture myself with one arm broken
You know how I feel
I’m a driver stuck inside a big truck
Driving with no breaks or gears
I can’t explain why
Maybe it’s ‘cause my system is driven by fear
I fly straight for the sun
In a capsule of paper
And all day long I rerun
What I can’t undo, what’s already been done

5. I’m on the outside
Far from any place that I know
I used to tolerate
All the very difficult codes
I am not a buyer
I’m looking for a space to hire
And systems I can follow
4 thick walls and a window
I’m never happy until
All is well that ends well
And every other day I’m feeling
The end of everything coming
Stone walls are crying
This is a welcoming house
I wash all the windows
And wipe all the dirt from its mouth
I am on the outside
A river of dreams all night
Some day, some day
One day, one day
I’m never happy until
All is well that ends well
And every other day I’m feeling
The end of everything coming
Tell me something to ease my mind
You’re the only one who can
The only one who can
Sometimes there’s no meaning found
Anywhere around
Who can say things are going to be okay
What I fear are dinosaurs
dying, falling
And though I see clear what I fear
It still comes calling
Chairs and tables and rituals
That can keep us here unchanged
Keep us here unchanged
Sunday comes
And noone wants to feel alone
Like always bells ring melody calls all day
What I fear are dinosaurs
dying, falling
And though I see clear what I fear
It still comes calling
And I can’t hide my weaker side
my disposition
Oh please stay with me
I know it’s not my decision
What I fear are dinosaurs
dying, falling
And though I see clear what I fear
It still comes calling
And I can’t hide my weaker side
my disposition
Oh please stay with me
I know it’s not my decision

6. In the night
through the day
every day
on our own
moving over the plains
always home
In the night
through the day
we run free
endlessly
over open fields
always
home safe
Big cats don’t fear
if the hunters are near
the heart beat’s steady
Big cats don’t fear
if the hunters are near
Not like a house cat
the big cats know better than that
Not like a house cat
like a house cat
the big cats know better than that
We can stay
it’s okay
secrets are
unrevealed
You are you
I am me
whereever we
roam
And in the night
through the day
every day
on our own
travelling overground
always
safe and sound
Possibly there never will be reason
Maybe the whole thing is absurd
An irreversible wave is rolling
And up ahead the whale’s mouth is open
Irreversible wave
Oh, there will be sorrow
Oh, there will be sorrow
Granting me the finder’s fee was crazy
I see no reason for it all
The irreversible wave is breaking
And up ahead the whale’s mouth is open
It won’t close it again
Oh, there will be sorrow
Oh, there will be sorrow
Oh, there will be sorrow
Oh, there will be sorrow
Big cats don’t fear
if the hunters are near
the heart beat’s steady
Big cats don’t fear
if the hunters are near
Not like a house cat
the big cats know better than that
Not like a house cat
like a house cat
the big cats know better than that

8. If I sit right here
‘til lights have gone down
I’ll disappear
Into a far away place
A spascious sphere
And still be right here
Where the moon is mine
Before it takes off
To rise and shine
It’s returning to
A softer spot
In the purple blue
I write it on a piece of paper
Write down what I saw
The purpose is to spectate
Not create and explore
What am I then
What am I then
What am I then
And people wear moody overcoats
And heavy boots
And people wear moody overcoats
And heavy boots in the cold
It is my sole purpose in life
It is my sole purpose in life
It is my sole purpose in life
It is my sole
If the roads have cleared
Inside my head
I will reappear
From a hole in the wall
The atmosphere
Will be waiting here
I write it on a piece of paper
To remember it all
How your world appears
Looking through a glass wall
What am I then
What am I then
What am I then
And People wear moody overcoats
And heavy boots
And People wear moody overcoats
And heavy boots in the cold
It is my sole purpose in life
It is my sole purpose in life
It is my sole purpose in life
It is my sole
And People wear moody overcoats
And heavy boots
And People wear moody overcoats
And heavy boots in the cold
It is my sole purpose in life
It is my sole purpose in life
It is my sole purpose in life
It is my sole

9. Every conversation is a bomb
Every conversation is a bomb
There’s no consolation in a bomb
Every conversation is a bomb
Someone I don’t know is at the door
Someone I don’t know is at the door
Every conversation is a bomb
Someone I don’t know is at the door
Guess I could have walked away
Guess I chose to stay
I don’t remember
Guess I could have walked away
Guess I chose to stay
I don’t remember
I am alone
and it’s easy
Lonely always is for me
All the angry dreams will stay the night
All the angry dreams will stay the night
Even if the door is shut tight
All the angry dreams will stay the night
I can’t throw my thoughts away
They would stay afloat
in deep water
I can’t throw my thoughts away
They would stay afloat
in deep water
I am alone
and it’s easy
Lonely always is for me
I am alone
And it’s easy
Won’t you leave me be
No where near
No resemblance to the actual intention
A dictaphone with hopes for something more
To be something greater
To be dictator
A Madeleine
Or just a bisquit
The men opposite the mice
Enter here, this is the real world
It’s sure to make one woozy
It shows no mercy

10. Higher and higher
Yeah, you spin around
So many calls and no news as such
And it’s never over
No, it never ends
You mingle with shadows and dream too much
And I’m on a beach in a no man’s land
I flip through the contract and sign in the sand
I never want to feel like this again
The weight of the world lingers for days and days
There never was a better time to draw a line
But no water’s edge is a safe place
I need to hold up, yes it’s understood
But sometimes I feel I can do no good
My jurisdiction is nowhere to be found
I can’t just plant a flag in the ground
I’m on a beach in a no man´s land
I feel like I burried myself in the sand
I never want to feel like this again
The weight of the world lingers for days and days
There never was a better time to draw a line
But no water’s edge is a safe place
In the night I am rocked around
On the sea long ago
Sometimes
My heart is sinking down
With my precious cargo
Diving in a monster underworld
Giant fish float like planes
Inside
I can breath again
Take my seat and remain ‘til the break of day
You’re the sadest music ever made
You’re the band that keeps playing
You’re the one who always knew a way to cross the water
I am gonna love you no matter where you go
How can I get back up again
This is no place to be
Maybe
If the anchor chain slowly would let go of me
You’re the sadest music ever made
You’re the band that keeps playing
You’re the one who always knew a way to cross the water
I am gonna love you no matter where you go
