By April I noticed the lack of attention
Attention
The tensions are rising between us

Once I believed in the stories that we are
Destined
To carry the burden it’s hurting

But we both knew that you would run
While I was reaching for the gun
You left me with no choice but to
Put it down
Down
Down
down

By august I noticed the lack of affection
Attention
The rumors are crawling through my fingers

Lovers I’m told have to live by a code
Oh what nonsense
This story is getting too boring

If you don’t mind I'd like to leave
Just promise me you’ll never breathe again
This poisoned air will only
Bring you down
Down
Down
Down

Young man look at yourself
I said young man look at what you have done
Young man look at yourself
I said young man look at what you have become

امشب تو باید بمونی، پیش من تو این تخت خواب

فردا یه روز جدید فراموشم کن، بسپارم دست خواب

خورشید اگه بتاب پاک می‌شه لکه‌های بوست

عطر تنت رو میشوره بطری الکل ، این روزگار

عطر تن من گم می‌شه تو دود سیگار، این روزگار

ساعت حوصله نداره انگاری به فردا برسه

تقویم مونده تو زمستون، یه مرد برفی تنهایی‌ می‌‌رقصه

عطر تنت رو میشوره بطری الکل ، این روزگار

عطر تن من گم می‌شه تو دود سیگار، این روزگار

من مثل یه لکه نم، تو مثل یه عکس فوری

می‌ مونیم گوشه دیوار

می‌ میریم گوشه دیوار

این رسم روزگار

When he wakes up from his sleep
They realize he’s gone too deep
There’s nothing left but empty seats
And hollow skulls with no teeth

Every now and then I see a sign of hope
And I try to keep it all together
Losing just a little bit of rope
That’s tied to the end of rotting dream

The tide is high and the moon is red
The best of us are left for dead
Well the bridges burn in the amber fire
And there’s no way back and no desire

The buildings have all collapsed
And all the saints are dressed as rats
The nomads have nowhere to go 
When the darkness starts to take control

Every now and then I see a sign of hope
And I try to keep it all together
Losing just a little bit of rope
That’s tied to the end of rotting dream
But everybody knows that the only way to go 
Is south of the border into places unknown
Where the stars meet the sands and the man 
Is burning bright

Every now and then I see a spark of light
That flickers in the shadows of the tainted minds 
While they’re slipping through the fingers 
Of the man in the silver suit
But everybody knows that the price was pretty low
As we sold what was left of our occupied homes
In exchange for a grave on a mountain full of gold

You can run you can hide
But in the end its all one ride
So we take and we maim
While we beg for another day 
This is all that we are 
This is all that we are 
This is all that we are 
This is all that we are


Best of Us

این یه ترانه ای مرده است
تعبیر قهوه ای تلخ
توی تفاله های یک کابوس

تعبیر خط خطی های
شعرای زخمی ِ کهنه
که زوزه میکشن تو گلوم هرروز

من اون ته فنجون
مثل مترسکی
که بین یه گله  
کلاغ گوشتخواره
دارم تکه تکه
می میرم
 
هرچی که مونده از سایه ام
می ریزه اون ته فنجون
دارن صدامو آتیش میزنن

ته مونده ی چشمامو
روی نیزه ها کردن 
گل می کشن بومیای قبیله

خاکسترم رُ باد
مثل یه لنگه جوراب
انداخته  رو صورتِ
ساعت دالی
دارم ذره ذره
می میرم

ته این فنجون
یه مرده داره میخونه
تو تفاله

ته این فنجون
قبرِ یه آدمک زنده به گوره

ته این فنجون 


Black Coffee - قهوه سیاه

روز و شب به یادتم عزیزم به تو بند نفسم

بگو به من چی‌ میگذره تو دلت که بگیره آروم دلم

احساس من به تو لطیف مثل حباب، نمی‌خوام بیارم به زبون بترکه بره به بعد

عمق این عشق من به تو هست قدر دریا، دل من به تو بند مثل جون ماهی‌ به آب

بی‌ تاب این دل‌ من نمیدونم که بمونم یا برم

ای کاش می‌‌شد باور کنم، عشقتو، که بمونه اینجا دلم

من بلند و فاش میگم عزیزم دلم مال تو است تا آخر عمر می‌‌مونیم پیش هم

روز و شب میگذره با فکر اون چشمها، می‌‌درخشن تو سرم مثل ستاره تو آسمونا

قلب من گرم می‌شه با نور عشق تو مثل آفتاب که می‌‌تاب رو موج دریا

بلند و فاش اینو میگم ، به تو بند نفسم

بلند و فاش اینو میگم ، به تو بند نفسم

تا روزی که من زنده هستم، می‌‌تپه قلبم

برات

به تو بند نفسم

به تو بند نفسم

به تو بند نفسم

به تو بند نفسم
