Sometimes the road does seem long
and sometimes the rope does hang low.
The sign says stop,
but I can't go slow.

So hold me,
hide me,
remind me,
tire me
and lay me down.

Sometimes the room has no ground,
but somehow the song keeps me around.
We must be close,
though it feels so far.

So hold me,
hide me,
remind me,
tire me,
keep me around.

Sometimes

I wish you well,
can't join the journey.
It's too soon to tell how strong I am.

No souvenirs
and memorized letters.
Your voice is gone,
but still I see you dancing on.

Dragging your feet in a sea of sand,
if you only ask me, I'll bring the rain.
10,000 miles of desert land
and you won't give up, you don't give in.

You said the road to heaven was straight through hell,
you're on your way and it pulls you in.
Miles and miles of desert land
and you won't give up, you don't give in.


See You Dancing

Lying Still

The more I tried to give, the less she took.
The eyes refuse to see what the stomach knows.
By now I know by heart every shape on her back.
Lying awake in the dark,
there's no shape to the world.

The more I tried to squeeze, the less she spoke.
The sunrise wouldn't come and I knew the rest by heart.
I'll be still, she'll be still, lying still in the dark.
There's no shape to the world.


Lying Still

Dedicated to Katerina Gutman. I miss you 

Any Sense

Tell me, does it make any sense?
Trying to find the sense ever since.
They said that words can change. Where's the change?
A day chasing a day chasing a day.

I'm sad to see you took all of the bait
by trusting only what you see when it's not even half of it.
You wanted so bad to believe, you never even stopped to check.
I hope it starts and never stops raining.

I know you want to have a name, I know you want to have the name 
of every new addition to this game.
To track the ones who hurt you long before you stopped to care.
Tell me do you no longer care

The longer you refuse to wake up angel
you'll  trust in what is but a dream, when you know that time is running
I wish it wouldn't stop, I wish it never stops raining,
because you're not allowed to give up yet.





Any Sense


Rerecite

When I think I'm right and I know I'm wrong,
when words only serve as a limit,
I can re-recite just like everyone knows
and in time I might come to believe it.

It could end right here or take all day long,
but I'm further away by the minute.
Yeah, it seems my mind has a mind of its own
and it knows what it wants and how to get it.

No pain is lost,
it will find me when I'm tied in a knot.
No pain is lost
if I ride it.

Blind Man

The blind man said I'll be leading, we'll be fine I know.
The boat man said we are leaking, and we're a long way from home.
The old man said I will go willing, if I could find my coins.
The wise man said no one's leaving, but let's just see how it goes.

But either way I go.
Either way I go.

The tired man said the wind ain't speeding, we are far too slow.
The young man said I must be dreaming, I never did no wrong.
The proud man said don't keep us hanging, tell us what you know.
The sad man said I saw it coming, it's every man on his own.

And either way I go.
Either way I go.

Some offer promises but I feed on magic
and either way I go.



Blind Man


Out Of Luck


I'm done with the papers,
I've come so you'll check my marks.
Clearing my desk now,
holding my fingers crossed.

Out of luck
and out of my mind.

I know you can hear me,
I'm not gonna raise my voice.
I gave my own verdict.
Enough used to be enough.

Out of luck
and out of my mind.
Let's skip a day, wait on the night.


Out Of Luck


Wake Me Up

You will not get any higher by standing on a rock.
You will not put out the fire with a single drop.

It will not get any brighter by wiping off the dust
And by counting down the hours, time will not get lost.

Come wake me up.

You will not get any lighter by coloring the rest.
You are only getting tired and you've had your rest.

Come wake me up.



Wake Me Up

Meet Me Inside

Meet me inside,
where I start and the city ends.

We're in-between the memories 
and what is yet to be
and where we are.


Meet Me Inside

Where Do We Start


I know it's not the first time,
I know what keeps the hunger.
Why am I being on time
when there is no arrival?

Where do we start and when do we stop?

Floating in an ocean,
trying to store some water.
We are storytellers
trying to reach an island.
