Architecture

Recording we did by ourselves on an acoustic arrangement of our song RFX, featuring Elin Olsson on flute and Ida Aggeborn on some singing harmonies. 

RFX - Acoustic

Lyrics (written by Joseph O'Leary):

I am searching through the streets of my life 
Through meadows, apple trees and crystals 
I'm swimming the oceans, you call lakes 
I am listening to the sound you call silence 

Did you really love it? 
Did you trust in hope? 
Did you tell them that you were leaving? 
Did you tell them that you were gone? 

But as long as leaves are green 
I know that you, you will be fine 
Your colours are too strong to erase 
And you are, and will always be mine

Fall

Lyrics (written by Joseph O'Leary):

How do you reflect something that isn't black? 
And how do you face existence, waiting for your life to begin? 
But I never hesitate my darling, to lose all what is human 
Winter is calling baby, hibernation is all that I long for 

There must be something in your blood 
A universe of energy 
You've got the strength to light me up 
Although I am your shadow honey 
Not even oceans could rip it apart; 
The anatomy of your heart 

When I ask you things, you look into my eyes and whisper 
I don't realise how years pass me by that quickly 
But I will never be able to face you as old or dead, no 
But I promise the black-holes they will swallow our ship someday 

There must be something in your blood 
A universe of energy 
You've got the strength to light me up 
Although I am your shadow, honey 
Not even oceans could rip you apart

Violet

Lyrics (written by Joseph O'Leary):

The city lights, they shine in front of me 
But still darling, it's just all too dark to see 
My love, I get scared when you act all panicky 
You claim it's all because of your youth 

And I will give you up someday 
Yes I, I will give you up 
It's who we are that kills us, it's who we are, the ones we become
It's who we are that drive ourselves around 

You are now staring right at me 
With eyes filled of frustration and insanity 
And I can see myself laying on your couch again, yes 
Reading the news of yesterday 
And I will give you up someday 
Yes I, I will give you up 

I try to see through your glasses 
Oh from votre point de vue 
but I am leaving, I am leaving darling 
For the Portland View

Who We Are

Lyrics (written by Joseph O'Leary):

In decline of solitude, as long as the sun stays out of this I know I'm safe 
And in search for past in blue 
A hollow signal from a steamboat shore 
and I know it's you 

Roses dried right before they landed in your arms 
And children cried while you drank your blood red tears 

And we just talk about hundred ways that changed architecture 
Observations on buildings we can rely our souls on 
And we just talk about hundred ways that changed architecture 
But what do we know about the anatomy of our human hearts? 

And I know it's too late to talk about our favorite colours 
Cus' you only give me a hint with those eyes 
And I know it's too late to mention your sarcastic faces, baby 
Cus' you walk right upfront to me and slap my cheek 

The pacific dried in the minute that you mentioned love 
And flowers died while you kissed the fading fog 

And we just talked about hundred ways that changed architecture 
Somber cupolas that we spend our time trying to figure out 
And we just talk about hundred ways that changed architecture 
But what do we know about the anatomy of our human hearts?

Architecture (2015 re-mix)

Lyrics (written by Joseph O'Leary):

	
Are you alone tonight? 
Do you feel the temptation of the Chicago sight? 

Far from the jazz clubs we vanish slowly 
Hunted by morning 
For you I'm irresistible 
And far from the jazz clubs that you hate my darling 
Though you still find love there, just like I do myself 

Are you alone tonight? 
And do you feel the temptations of the New Orleans light? 
When you love you make noise 
And when you hate you fall apart, yes 

Far from the jazz clubs we vanish slowly 
Haunted by morning for you I'm irresistible 
And for from the jazz clubs that you hate my darling 

Though you still find love there, just like I do myself 
And I want you to know, how far I can go 
Without your heart-beats punching 
the wee boy that's left in me

Jazz Clubs

Lyrics (written by Joseph O'Leary):
	
I can't tell you that I will by your side forever more my queen 
Cus' I can't give you diamond rings, and I can't give you ordinary love 
There's so much in this world that you deserve 

Lights they shine, but all lovers remain blind 
The disaster of love is chasing me, right across the atlantic sea 
Her breath it smells of red wine, yeah, and her crown glows in the dark 
She tries to convince me that I'm her king 
But those tender words they mean nothing 
I know she'll never be my queen, 
I know it, I know it, I knew it a long time ago 

I've been trying to sleep at night, 
but that constant weeping gives me a fright 
I've never seen her crying away a pillow 
I open the window and set her free, 
Cus' a life in order isn't enough for a queen 
With a butterfly soul 

And she will fly, yeah she will fly 
The disaster of love is chasing me 
Right across the atlantic sea 
Her breath it smells of cigarettes and her crown glows in the dark 
She tries to convince me that I'm her king but those tender words, they mean nothing, I know she'll never be my queen I know it, I know it, I knew it a long time ago

Queens

Lyrics (written by Joseph O'Leary):

Tonight I'm out of control, tonight I'll fight for your cause, 
whatever it may cost 
Cus' lights burn, cars crash into the target of love 
where you hide your box of weapons 
And Pheonix feathers fall from the sky, 
reflecting the green light - it's making us shiver 
The will of thinking is lost at sea 
and the desert highway ruining us both 

I've been living in an absent world until now 
Cold lips are all that I've kissed. 
And though you're trying to get through the barricades 
We'll burn 

We are nothing more than runaways 
Flowers fighting the frost without no guns 
Too young to sign the contract of destiny 
and too old to give up the road 
But someday the sun will burn us out 

There must be someway out of here 
Some glowing exit sign somewhere 
A map to the vacuum atmosphere 
A blind transport to the end of time 
Where your heart is speeding next to mine 
And your eyes are closed by recalling pleasures 

I've been observing this old world from a window clear 
But I've never been able to react 
But our final destinies they are crucial 
We'll burn 

We are nothing more than runaways 
Flowers fighting the snow without no guns 
Too young to sign the contract of destiny 
and too old to give up the road 
But someday the sun will burn us out
