So insecure, so unassured, so ineffective, but we're shifting our perspective

Shifting Our Perspective

A guitar pop ballad with a latin feel that deals with the hypocrisy of religion gone wrong.

Down On Azusa Street

Wonderland (M. Cuneo / T. Zwarg)

Jumping up and down in circles
I've got no place to go tonight
Waking up in every sense of meaning
Wandering round the night

Laughing at my face, reflections on the floor
Wondering at the where and how
Oh the road is so uptight,
Silver and over now...

And I can see the tide is turning
And the night is so unafraid

Inside of me
Old folk songs and a marching band
I sit and I'm here
Holding on to the wonderland

Chisel up a face, run and drown
Holding up the here and now
Faces I can't reach and the story of my fears 
Covering up the ground

Wishing the light would feel like heaven
Wishing the sea was coming up

Inside of me
Old folk songs and a marching band
I sit and I'm here
Holding on to the wonderland


Wonderland

At the speed of life  (D. Gerstlauer / T. Zwarg)

I can’t find the reason why 
The words I speak sound so wrong
 By god, I try, but somehow I 
Can’t separate the singer from the song  

Just a little bit louder
Just a little bit longer 
Just a little bit more of this before I walk away 
Just a little bit harder 
Just a little bit stronger 
Can’t you see that we have so much left to gain?  

And you and I, we sympathise 
But that don’t make us okay 
We multiply our last goodbyes 
Why can’t I manage not to stay?  
And the more we step towards each other  
The further we’re apart 
I run, but I’m just getting closer to the start 
and at the speed of life it’s getting colder by your side 
While you reside  in what I’ve always been denied 

At the Speed of Life

Always (T. Zwarg)

I heard they're coming home today
Can't say I was surprised
As long as I remember
Ever since I've been alive
They've been reading out the headlines
And spelling out their names
One after the other
Till there's no one left to blame

When you feel the rain
I will cover you and
Through the deepest pain
We will always see it through    

They specialize in hope and fear
And maybe some regret
They'll show you some explosions
But that ain't nothing yet
All he pain we used to go through
I tell you what my friend 
And for all the life you give them
They'll give nothing but contempt

When you feel the rain
I will cover you and
When you call my name
I will run to you and
Through the deepest pain
We will always see it through 


Always

Right As Rain Again (T. Zwarg)

Well, I came to see the movies
But the night is warm and clear
And the smoke fills all of history
Real expectations, 
and fakers all around
But I can't hear a sound, but your're whispering to me

Moon stars and streetlights
It ain't winter anymore
Not that it ever was before, 
Your eyes among the stars
Your sky is raining down
The ice and snow your crown, and I'm listening to you
      
I thought I was riding on the wrong train
Running on wealth and fame
Coming on quite strange but now I'm
Right as rain again
I thought I was riding on the wrong train
But I'm examining my life again
Through all the loss and pain
Right as rain again


Right As Rain Again

This Is It (M. Cuneo / T. Zwarg)

As the sun sets, and the night falls
Where's the pain that I should feel,
Knowing all that I imagined wasn't real
Through the heartache and the sorrow 
Somehow still my eyes are dry
My surroundings quite amusing, I guess this is goodbye

And I've known for a while now, you can't always win
No sense in chasing after all that could have been

This is it, It´s over now
Nothing left to say , I´m done with you somehow
This is it, No turning back
My cards are played, I´m done with you somehow

There's a lifetime of fulfillment
with a cup that overflows
waiting for me at the door, holding a rose
And I know that you're expecting me
to keep on running after you
But, hey, it's getting kind of late And I have things to do

And so I take a last look at the crowd that gathered here
And they all fade into the night and disappear


This Is It

Lyrics:
There’s never been so much love in my life
And yet I never felt so much like throwing it away
For so long I lived a life of loveless freedom
Believed in the power of reason
But now I don’t know what to say

If you took all that away (I’m so ashamed of it all)
Would I disappear? (Would I disappear?)
Or would there still be traces of a soul that yearns for you?
Or is it all now said and done (I’m so afraid of it all)
Will I fade away (I will fade away?)

I’d give all that I have to give to somehow get a clue
I want to see love and faith and logic hand in hand
The place to go gives us the strength to stand
In a world pretending that variety brings choice
Fleeing from the spirits of abuse
There’s so many versions of the truth
It’s so hard to tell the silence from the noise
