Callout

Who will be there when I fade away?
Holding my hand as I start to pray.
Follow me down and I bide my tide
and promise me peace on the other side.

It really doesn’t matter if you know my name at all.
All that I lived for, the ones I loved, my memories...
...now everything is gone.
So is there anyone?

Oh, naked youth on the telephone
I’m too afraid to die alone
So say that you’re here, that you’ll hold the line
and I will lie, saying that I’m fine.

Cause it really doesn’t matter, if I know your name at all.
All that I lived for, the ones I loved, my memories..
...now every one is gone.
So is there anyone?

Will you stay with me?
Will you hear me?
I don’t wanna be alone
Just don’t say good bye!

No it really doesn’t matter if you know my name at all.
All that I lived for, the ones I loved, my memories...
...now everything is gone.
Just hear me anyone.


Believe

I believe in this crippled Earth
I believe in mistake of birth
I believe it has come to this

I believe in these great grey sky
And the power of asking why
I believe it has come to this

But I don’t like that look in your eyes when you tell me there’s no hope at all.
No, I don’t believe in that

I believe we’ve been here before
I believe we can do much more
I believe I can live with this

I believe we can walk again
I believe we’ll be stronger then
I believe I can live with this

But I don’t like the tone in your voice as you tell me there’s no hope at all
No, I just don’t believe in this


Desire

I did not dare to fly
Didn’t even spread my wings to feel the air
I’d commit my self to longing
Desire is the constant

I realized the short time
to get there I would have to climb
But all along my hands just felt too small
A leap of fait, just take a chance,
to go out there and join the dance.
Instead I stood there staring at the wall

Looking down I swiftly pave
a straight brick road into my grave
I had a life but did not live at all
I let the chances pass me by,
a frightened bird afraid to fly
Instead I stood there banging at that wall

It’s so frightening, staring at the gaping distance
Standing on the edge


Follow Me Down

Follow me down

Papers and chalkboards
Smell of the old books
clinging to these walls
Memories forever

Wanna go dancing?
Hold on to my hands
Do you like music?
Hold me forever

Out on the play ground
Up in the tree house
Running and screaming
Living forever

You, yes you, know me so well, know what to do.


Overwinter

If I count the days from yesterday to now
Guess it always seems much longer then somehow
But I won’t show no pain, no I won’t show no fear
And as Winter’s passed, Spring will come next year

It comes, it’s drawing near
I’ll stand just where I stand – I stand here

Life through my bark, this deciduous park
With my roots in the ground as the world’s spinning round...
shedding my years.

In a moment now the storm will turn to breeze
And these crawling drops of dew, to frost will freeze
And the warming sun that used to fill my crown
Through these bolding branches, slowly setting down

Heroes

Hands upon the grass
Feet up on a stone
Leaning ‘gainst the wall
Head upon my shoulder

‘Sunny Day’

I don’t need another hero
I don’t need another friend
What do I do with all these heroes?
What do I do with all these friends?

Sun is in my eyes
Air is in my lounges
Wind blows through my hair
I am everywhere

‘Sunny Day’


Save My Soul

Save my empty Heart
Save my heart
Save my wicked soul
Save my soul

All that I’m not proud to be
the choices keep reminding me...
...in my head

The things that I just didn’t do
the voices that all told me to...
...in my head

The places that I could have been
instead I ran out dry within...
...in my head

Hopes and dreams that I once I had
why did they turn out grey and sad...
...in my head

Never let my troubled mind to get out and redeem
Clock is ticking
caught between a nightmare and a dream


Story Ends

I came to see you
I came to hear you
You saw right through me
and you didn’t hear me

I guess you’ve got your reasons to go
But I don’t have those reasons to go
Guess you’ve got your ways to be
But I don’t have those ways to be

This is where we say ‘good bye’, my friend
and this is where the story ends, my friend

I came to see you
I came to hear you
But you wouldn’t see me
No I wasn’t welcome there

Guess you have your reasons to live
and I guess you have your roads to walk
But I have my own reasons to live
and I have my own roads to walk


Take Me Home

The road has finally ended, the river turned to sea
The storm drawn back its claw and the fields lie open
So turn back the time.

The skies have no limit, the oceans but depths
the forests no boundaries
So take me home


Living Soil

As the wind grows strong and the waves roll high
As the sun sets even deeper in the raging sky

As the ground gets colder, we grow older by the day

I dig deeper in the living soil Touching
healing, try to reconnect
I feel the dirt underneath my skin
Breathing deeply, I know that I belong

As the rain comes down and the thirst be still
As a seed, a restless slumber, slowly needs to wake
As the warmth returns to us she yearns to be alive

I stand straight up, hands up in the air
Feeling, touching, try to reconnect
Breathing, I know that I belong
