Half Time

Fantasy

Lyrics

Make a palace out of this dreary room
Harsh electric lights reveal a hidden allure 
Come, take your glass, let the grimness go
Fragile, unlikely charm at moments so rare
Old coat, a smoke, you say: “Let’s have one more”
“Good night” on the street, I make my way home
Lonely night, your image clear
The fog will lift by morning light

Dreary

Reflection

By The Hill (mix 2022)

Lyrics

Verse:
Smoky abyss, secret cave drawing me in
It’s the salt on my glass, glistening on the rim
There’s a darkness so sweet, caught in scent, caught in blue
When I take your pale hand you know that’s hardly a sin

Chorus: 
You can give it to me in feverish dreams
Tease the fiends in me, the devils and queens
I’m not pursuing you boy, you know that’s not what I mean
But the night is inviting and reveals the dark side in me

Verse:
It’s a slippery slope, and I’m not going down
Hurt pride makes me cruel - I tantalise you, make you frown
I would take all of you before the madness subsides 
But I’m not going to be the one to take you back downtown 

Chorus 2 x

Dark Side

Days

Dreary (original version)

Capturing you in blue light
Blue violet light
A finely chiseled face
A sculpted body

No turning back
Your reflection fair
Your shadow music
Vibrating in blue light
Air resonating, electric light
Caught in a time-lapse
Your skin ivory 
My vision blurry
Your image blurry
Caught in a time-lapse
In violet light

Blue/Violet Light

The wine makes you look pretty
You know we think you're sweet
It's all the same to you
Party those demons away

A butterfly like you
A bird in rainbow colors
You flutter and you charm us
Nectar flowing through your veins
The stage is your home base 
The night is your lover
The light of day is far away but closing time too soon

Abandonment makes us feel pretty
Anarchy keeps us young
It's all the same to me 
Let's laugh the night away 

A butterfly like you
A bird in rainbow color 
You flutter and you charm us
Nectar flowing through your veins
The stage is your home base 
The night is your lover
The light of day is far away but closing time too soon

A butterfly like you
A bird in rainbow color 
You flutter and you charm us
Nectar flowing through your veins
The stage is your home base 
The night is your lover
The light of day is far away but closing time too soon

Pretty

Fog descends over me
When you're arousing to me
Melt into madness
Desire so sweet
Intoxicating
Wakes me up at night
I bite your name into my pillow
Clouded judgement inspires touches
I can almost taste your lips
Would have kissed you then and there
Dreams folded in haze
Your eyes
Time warp
In the night a shadow descends over me
Hologram embrace
The light of day too close
I want to hold on to this moment
Taking in your beauty, inhaling all of you in dreams
Just be with me
Just a moment to imagine what could be and will not be
Just let me breathe
Melt into smiles and laughter, stroking your hair
Caught in a bubble, before I let you go
Imagination 
How soft your skin might be

Limerence

Lyrics:

Seeing you in this haze of smoke and poison
Closeness emerging, enveloped in bright lights 
Fingers briefly entwined
I'm loving tonight's little lie

Feeling you in this haze of empty promise
Little hedonist luring us away from silence and from the light of day
Your smile, your hand in mine
I’m loving tonight’s little lie

Refrain:

Bring on the magic, the sparkle in your eye
Opium to me - I know you’ll leave me high and dry
One more time, just one last time, relishing this thrill
Baby I can handle it - the solitude 
Tomorrow’s chill

Seeing you in this haze of lust and nectar 
Your scent 
Dig in the knife
Time passes, urgency fades
Embrace the night, leave a dent in the picture
I’m loving tonight’s little lie 

Seeing you in this haze of smoke and poison
Closeness emerging, enveloped in bright lights 
Fingers briefly entwined
I’m loving tonight’s little lie
Feeling you in this haze of empty promise
Little hedonist luring us away from silence and from the light of day
Your smile, your hand in mine
I’m loving tonight’s little lie

Refrain

Tomorrow's Chill

Limerence (choir remix)

Lyrics:

It's not so easy to make me lonely
It's not so easy to make me cry
Take your tricks and games and throw them out the window for now
I've got irons in the fire - put you on the back burner

You looked so fragile, looked so pale
Sweat on your brow, your hair a charming mess
Your eyes were kind but dazed

Clouded judgement inspires affection, inspires respect, inspires trust
Your eyes were dazed
This time I'll keep my sense, I'll keep my pride, I'll keep my distance
But you looked so fragile, looked so pale 

(Backing vocal, freely quoting "Blue/Violet Light": No turning back, your reflection fair
Your shadow music, vibrating in dull light
My vision blurry, your image blurry
Caught in a Timelapse in dull light)

It's not so easy to make me lonely
It's not so easy to make me cry
Take your tricks and games and throw them out the window for now
I've got irons in the fire - put you on the back burner

Easy (original version)

Presence

Lyrics:

Excuse me if I shed a tear
I’ve no right to do so
I might have picked up a scent
On cool summer evenings
On a cramped, busy side stage
On that ugly street they find solace in cigarettes and stale beer
Light hair framing a face with wild eyes
Fiery but kind

And now the street is deserted 
An empty space

An echo, where the scent of a muse still lingers
Still getting under my skin

Forgive me if I take a stroll
The wind and rain lured me
I close my eyes and inhale
Fleeting, thrilling memories
Energetic movement
Beauty burning behind my eyelids 
Immortalizing a fading dream 

Light hair framing a face with wild eyes
Fiery but shy

And now the street is deserted 
An empty space

An echo, where the scent of a muse still lingers
Still getting under my skin
