Wake up slowly I'd kiss you how'd you sleep
Tell me stories of monsters in your dreams

I know we can open 
I know we can unlock our hearts and
The skies above will open
The skies above will unlock inside you

There's an open door 
Here's an open heart 
that's Willing to take a chance
Maybe you can start
I'll just close my eyes and follow 
You in the dark

'Cause I know nothing 
Help me understand
And I'll tell you stories of monsters in my mind

L'amour In Ancient Greece

Have you fallen from the sky? 
Have you run away? 
Are you lost in any way? 
Should I call for help? 
Because your are so far down 
And you know you might get hurt 
I would show around 
But I am afraid I am lost as well 

I saw you fall 
I saw you shine 
You are the first ever angel in hell 
Trying to find a way 

Was it nice to be up there? 
Why on earth would someone leave? 
Is it true that there’s no pain 
No anger no blame 
Because you are so far down 
And you know people here do get hurt 

Don´t let yourself be fooled 
We people are not blind we´re just a bit confused 
So if you want to bring attention to you 
Well cover yourself in gold and you´ll be good to go

Angels In Hell

There's a soul inside and it wants to be found 
We're a social kind and we're born to be loved 
There's a world outside that’s wondering what the hell went wrong 
And you're fine fine fine… 

But you're so uptight and never feel alive 
Your thoughts consume your mind 
You slowly lose control 

I haven't seen you in a long time Victoria 
And if you do feel alone now come back to us 

We feel lonely struggling against our imposed needs 
We believe that it's in our nature to be weak 
We are so convinced that we're not in our hands 
So if you are free you freely accept that happiness won't come 

Decide decide decide…. 
I haven't seen you in a long time Victoria 
And if you do feel alone now come back to us 
I'll try to do what I can for you, for Gloria 
I'll fight for you and for me, now 
'Cause we've had enough

Victoria

Like baby tidal waves we take to the open sea 
As a falling tree that’s just been cut wonders what’s going on 

Shine, you’re beautiful won’t you shine 

Because you’re perfect in every way 
Hear the birds singing when you walk by 
As the world celebrates your every breath 
See this moment and make it your own 

Try to sing loud 
Try to jump high 
Try to reach the stars tonight 
Go and dance like it’s just you and the moon 

Like a full grown tidal wave we destroy everything we find 
As we search for happiness outside our very hearts 

Don’t try to paint the world with the colors of your mind 
Paint your mind with the colors of the world 

Let it inside…

Tidal Waves

Just close your eyes and stop 
Let time be time 
Let yourself be you 
Get some air inside your lungs 
Feel your body burst with life 
There’s something inside 

Something full of love 
Peaceful and yours 
That wants to get out 
So let love flow and don’t be just fine 
Do you know how long you’ve got? 
To be only fine

Stop

Shelter me oh mighty sound from my mind 
Cause when thoughts take over nothing seems alright 
Lift me with you into the night 
Let the stars come closer and twinkle if they want 

If you want to sing, sing to me now 
If you want to cry, I'll hug you so tight 
If you want to play, you know what I like 
If you want to love, begin with your life 

Take my hand and trust me now there's no greater thing than love 
It flows through us we breathe it in then breathe it out weather we want or not 
So shelter us from sanity oh mighty music 
Cause if love takes over all shall be as one

My Shelter

This peaceful melody will find its way to you today 
In your dreams where we can stay together everyday 
And possible is everything 

This peaceful melody will close the gap between 
Our souls so you can feel the love that’s pouring out of me 
And going to waist when you are away 

Away… 
Is my light of day 
Is my reason to stay 

I hope this song can bring some peace and joy to you my dear 
To wherever you may be, and however you might feel 
I hope this calm can make you strong 

When you are down and it’s too much 
And this world won’t’ do its part 
Well close your eyes and find what’s good inside you 
And let love guide your way when you are away

Away

A song inside my head 
Explodes in many colors 
My fault and I turn red 
My hundred good intentions 
I sing to you in bed 
I sing to you again 
And I want to save the day 
It's my human nature 

Uhhhh the signs too loud 
Beating fast 
Uhhhh the signs today 
We can't afford more time 
Uhhhh decide today 
And think no more 
Uhhhh decide today 

My fault and I let go 
My dreams to big to follow 
I know I can't be there 
But you'll be here for ever

I've been everywhere - feat. Analu

I used to complain a lot
Oh why does it feel so bad
And I responded back 
You deserve it so carry your cross x2

I used to be so afraid 
I even got scared to death
I used to talk way too much
To see if words coming out would silence my thoughts

Drag me away, take me apart, smite me down
See if you can, you’ll do your best, that is fine

In the darkness I am strong
In the silence I am gone
Not my soul just my bones
I seemed so fragile before

I’ve seen your light many times
I’ve felt your love burning inside
So I follow the crumbs 
That you left so I’d find my way back 

You dragged me away, you took me apart, you smote me down
But I am still here, you did your best, let’s be friends

Y encuentro vida en un árbol caído 
Así que no tienes que salvarme 
Porque estoy bien, bien, bien, no ves?
Bien asustado  
Bien asustado 
Bien y también muy bien asustado
