Weekend comes and all we've said is done (weekend comes and goes) But we can't get past All the memories that we've pushed away All the feelings that we've led astray (led astray) And all the Saturday's and Sunday's someday I see heaven in the things you say And the devil when you look away And you breathe breathe like it's the first time And I feel feel like it's the last time I see heaven in the things you say and the devil when you look look the other way and I feel my heart resign with empty hearts here we both stand and the second hand... it goes tick... tock.. tick... tock... the culmination of our hopes and fears and all the minutes stretching into years I wanna make the circle stop every time I hear the Heaven in the things you say and the devil when you look away and you breathe breathe like it's the first time but I feel feel this is the last time I see heaven in the things you say and the devil when you look look the other way and our hearts beat out of time I wanna walk and you ask me not to you wanna talk with his arms around you you're holding to something... but 'something's changed.

Revenge 04:31
you’re never gonna take me alive devoted to demise you’re never gonna push me aside and in the twilight in falls apart under the half-light you kiss and sell your beauty goodbye like radio waves you pass me by video takes your thoughts online your sullen style it’s all pretend sinking in sentiment sublime all of your truths are laced with lies your violet smile kisses red... like revenge. are you ever gonna kill your disguise? the breath behind the lies will I ever see the whites of your eyes? and in this hot white light you fall apart it’s such a sad, sad sight the touch of dissonance and demise Where do we go now? eye for eye, and this for that you hit me, I hit you back eye for eye, and this for that if you kiss me, I’ll kiss you back

Flame 03:45
It’s a dark and lonely winter you say “this hell’s never felt so cold” yet there’s the faintest smell of cinders and a truth yet to be told and a sound surrounds your secret something I’ve heard, but can’t yet see like whispers in the twilight the secret now revealed to me... it’s a flame burning just behind your eyes I’m praying for rain but nothing will put out these fires that burn and blaze wait let’s not forsake all these years if you’d just stay there’s so much truth still to hear and I’ll listen all night to your hopes and every fear I won’t say it’s alright these things always end in tears you’re fanning the flame and everything is catching fire the things that you hate and everything that you desire are one and the same running to escape this pyre and cover the shame hiding just behind your eyes through green and grey we turn, turn with hearts on fire we feel it inside we’re steeling to die to burn, burn what we conspire we cast it aside to keep us alive there’s a flame the things that you hate the tears that you taste we burn it away there’s a flame.

The Huntress 03:19
you’re in my headlights with nowhere to run and I’m the huntress and I’m getting my gun I’ve got your eyes wide this is so much fun and we’ve just begun and when we dance I’m bringing hell in a dress and with a glance I’ll leave your heart in a mess with every word I’ve got a lie to confess your eyes are so committal this might hurt a little you take the worst of me and just make it seem like hell in the way you break the best of me and just shake the rest of heaven away this thing that we’ve become might seem like love to some all the lies you’ve fed to me they leave me standing empty with nothing to say and like a cross you give the weary a rest and like a vampire I take it right in the chest and every chance I’m putting grace to the test and I feel so numb it’s such a tragedy this violent love affair with vanity every stupid promise is a fallacy I’ll make you settle for less your end has come

Let's Go! 04:43
You're just in time so step right up to the starting line we smile and all the while you'll walk this mile in single file March like a soldier left foot first and right down the middle We'll give the order If you can make it we can break it and take it away!! we’re never gonna give our youth away it's not political everybody wants to give us words to say it's just so typical... watch your mouth when you're talking to me scrape your knees in disloyalty genuflect my audacity as I step on all your decency. We'll sit and watch you (I told you so) hold fast to virtue (I sold your soul) integrate or antiquate If you can turn it we can burn it and take it away!! let’s go!

Dead Hearts 03:12
our dreams seem far away before the sunrise will grace let us betray all the tears that I've cried I've cried I've felt so alone I've pled I've bled I've wondered why I'm lost we're lost but if we close our eyes we might see the light that we dream about hope still has a name and it sets on fire hope is still a flame that is burning inside hope has made a way for all the dead hearts to arise and our hearts ignite ascending though it feels like we're falling our dreams cast light like stars burning bright hearts held high ascending for the first time we're soaring like birds in flight the truth seems hard to say so far past sunset can grace still take away all the things that I've said you've said don't say it again... I've heard I've hurt I've listened to lies I'm scared I'm scared but I've a feeling that this could be the last time we fall apart

Crybaby 04:05
I just need some time to get this right you’re so hollywood so I guess you should be in the limelight sing high and swing low you’ve got the look can’t you put on a show? I’ll tell you why it’s gonna blow you’re a star and nobody knows shine so bright well come on, crybaby! I wanna take you, take you for a ride a cigarette in your mouth with lips that scream, now now they pout so take your last drag ‘cause the song you sing well it’s sorry and so sad watch you do - I’ve seen better but at least you’ve found an easy lover rock hard and scream louder but you leave me with nothing to remember and so you can’t stop crying about all this love you’ve lost at least you have your stories it’s just too bad they’re boring.

Suffer 04:02
with a moon half-empty and a sky that's gone to waste and the twilight offers cold embrace the amber of autumn fades and the greys of summer's mistakes and the dreams we try to replicate... they fall away isn't this world something wonderful that we were made to suffer both it's honesty and cruelty? today with a heart half-empty and a light I've yet to see and the sadness takes ahold of me and fire-white burns like... agony. entropy. we all fall apart to the cadence of our bleeding hearts they fall away isn't this world something wonderful that we were made to suffer both it's majesty and cruelty? they fall away... and is grace not something beautiful that we were made to suffer? the lucid touch of clemency. and our tears become a sanctuary we are made to suffer with tenderness and empathy. we are made to suffer.
9.
take naivety from me and leave me isolated all at once I feel so free yet so captivated you make the endless waves of time seem so temporary, you're my missionary... emissary... adversary. you define the line between human and divine in this empty place intrinsic grace so necessary see the skies divide when hope and fear collides from this cemetery offer me this sanctuary there is violence when you move yet I'm stationary devastate all my design and make it arbitrary you break my legs yet leave my knees my will penetrated I'm eviscerated.. consecrated.. lacerated! you define the line between human and divine in this empty place intrinsic grace so necessary see the skies divide when hope and fear collide from this cemetery offer me this sanctuary this heart you break it and make it sacred these eyes awaken this breath is taken from you
10.
Away 03:13
"I'm so alone" I hear you say I give my hand you push it away we can't decide on love or suicide through the great divide the earth, the moon, the tide if I had a way we could make it would you take it? if we could pray the words that endear us awake the vows inside the heavens sigh like the groom who sees the first glimpse of his bride... and takes her away. come take us away. sometimes we lie to make the truth seem kind we cast redemption aside just to make it go away well I'm done being afraid I'll kiss the wounds that I've made and let the scars remain come take us away. can you take us away? come take us away! away.

(music & lyrics by Mårten Kellerman) Warner/Chappell Music Scandinavia AB & Subspace Communications AB Guess I had to be kind of blind not to see How it was bound to be in vain Hung around for the plot to thicken While being stabbed again and again This time I'll burn all bridges leading back 'Cause I'm not sure I'm strong enough I simply have to bail I'm far to frail to be at the receiving end I feel torn apart and abused Battered and bruised I guess I'm stupid to nurture an addiction to hope But it's not my only vice I surrendered again thought things would change Now imagine my surprise This time I'll burn all bridges leading back 'Cause I'm not sure I'm strong enough I simply have to bail I'm far to frail to be at the receiving end I feel torn apart and abused Battered and bruised

Matter 02:47
words & music: J. Belville you can say the words to their faces they won't listen you can sound it any way you can and you tell your dreams to the world they won't listen your hopes and invention don't matter to them but they matter to me. and your whispers sing like sirens to me standing by like a hero with nothing to save up against all the water, wind, and the waves take a moment just to shield your face shut your mouth let your secrets keep their place you'll tell them to no one but you can tell them to me. and your sentiments are diamonds to me.

King Planet 02:57
back to the one time in space back to the first place when the orbits and lights shimmered true to the spin of the world back to the tilt and angle back to the former design, the mind you were king and all the planets aligned back to the shape of things before kingdoms all rise and fall along ancient shores, yeah before we built the walls you made the way before we dropped the bomb dropped the bomb before hate love was law, life, everything and you were king you are the mystic man you are the promised land you walk the silver sand of stars you're shining you are the atmosphere you are the music clear you are the golden tier and you are king planet we ride the wave, feel the force in fake course we taste the floors from the cup we dream color insidious drop one taste and you don't stop for planet save that we dropped the bomb dropped the bomb now centuries late, law is hate we wait for kingdom come! bring back the tilt and angle bring back the former design the time you were king and all the planets aligned

Here is the house Where it all happens Those tender moments Under this roof Body and soul come together As we come closer together And is it happens It happens here in this house And I feel your warmth And it feels like home And there's someone Calling on the telephone Let's stay home It's cold outside And I have so much To confide to you With or without words I'll confide everything Here is the house Where it all happens Those tender moments Under this roof Body and soul come together As we come closer together And as it happens It happens here in this house So we stay at home And I'm by your side And you know What's going on inside Inside my heart Inside this house And I just want to Let it out for you And I feel your warmth And it feels like home And I feel your warmth And it feels like home
