It doesn´t give us Sixes

Who is it
who knocks on your door?
Who says you don´t need it
but makes you want more
It has yellow eyes and serpent thighs,
it lingers through your fingers
as quick sand and silver
It smells your weakness and
gropes you by it
It´s lips plead your virtue
and licks your skin wet
It makes you sour and it makes me high
It tricks us the power to roll the dice
It doesn´t give us sixes, it always stops at five
but it´s the room for satisfaction
that time to time, makes us thrive

It sounds like 1993 as it yearns for you and me
It has a thirst that´s infinite
and it always buys the drinks for free
Though it´s never on the house,
at the latest the ice makes us bleed
It makes you sleep and comforts you in need
It gives you the hand and then smacks you on it´s feet
We confuse it with love but it´s just blood and meat
It doesn´t take us for granted
it just takes us, and that´s it

It whispers:

"You know you don´t want me
I know I don´t need you
But it´s nice to meet you
and kill you slowly
I´m the serpent
and I´m the wasteland
I´m your fate and I´m your dreamland
I´ll dance you wet and kiss you to death
I´m the one for you
and you´re my number one pet"

So who is it
who calls you at 3.16?
It reminds you of it
and you can´t go back to sleep
You don´t worry what it could do to you and me
You worry you won´t be missed or missed out on,
´cause you want to be the one to leave
You want to be the one to mean something
and believe when it breathes it´s lies to your ear
You want to be it´s only, the one and only
and listen to the songs together, feeling lonely
You try to deny that you´ve heard it´s invite
and for the next couple of lives
you pretend to forget it´s right
You belong to it
and it belongs in you
It´s the song you can´t forget
and it´s the one that´s playing you

The Canyon

I want to get drowned
in the canyon,
get lost in the wilderness
sometimes all I want is
to get lost in my own head
by myself
on my own
Heartbreaking suffocation
Coughing up the sand and tears
What a fucked up situation
I got tangled in my own web of fears

The other night I dreamt a dream of you
Yesterday I couldn´t figure out if it was true
I can´t remember your face when I´m down
I guess it´s ´cause you dont´t want to be found
You´ve grown so deep inside of me
that I can´t tell the difference between
You´re like the song I hear in my sleep
and awake I´m just moving my lips

I want to scream in to the canyon
that I want to drown in my sleep

I don´t want to get lost between the lines
I don´t need you to read me
When I close my eyes I just
I just hope that something breaks me
Something without a name, something un-known
Something that makes me cinder and bones
These dreams make me hate the reality
that tries to force me to make up my mind

I want to get drowned
in the forest,
sleep forever on the hummocks
Freeze to death so sweetly,
´cause all I really want is
to be left alone
without a home
Heartbreaking conclusion
Sinking in the dead leafs and tears
What a fucked up termination
to rot so slowly without any boldness
Isn´t it my dear?

The other night I didn´t know what kind of dreams
I was made to play
All I knew and all I still do is that
in my dreams I´m a stray
I´m so easy
and I don´t know what I want
Two bloods inside of me
struggling to get their parts

I want to scream in to the canyon
that I want to drown in the sand
I want the wind to cover me up
so I keep on dreaming of a helping hand
I could be one with the snakes, lizards and time
and my story could be a big old lie
You could be one with the engines, gasoline and fire
and your story could be buried with mine

Shattered Shells

Do you have anything to say?
Is it really going to be played this way,
you denying all that was there
me trying to show you something´s still here
We just won´t win
´cause it wasn´t meant to be

You were not meant to see inside of me
and I wasn´t a part of your plan to flee
We got caught in the waves
and the sea just got too deep
We were meant to lose
´cause we didn´t know what winning means

Isn´t this a foolish game to lose out at,
no rewards or stakes to win back
You got the closest to a prize I longed for
but you´ll never know why I felt that
You are never going to know the truth
You will never get even close

I´ve written our stories in the night sky
I´ve played all my cards quite right
as right as I could´ve in this state of mind
Do you have anything to say?
It seems like you don´t care that I got tired to play
One step forward, two back, closer to the grave

The salt of the sea burns our eyes
It´s like the sea wants to see us cry
Burning, aching, wanting to change our minds
It chokes and strangles
until we´re still and our heartbeats are bind
We´ll get lost in the sea
just as anyone else who´s like you or me

Your touch was so gentle
and so hard to leave behind
Through the power of the waves and water
the strenght could´ve kept us as one
But it was clear we were never meant to be
when the strain of a surge broke us in parts
So we were, just as before,
only two shattered shells so very lost

Something got Lost in the Forest

Oo, I´ve been haunted
by the crick cracks of the old house and I
I´ve been breaking
I´ve been breaking up in parts so many times
that I don´t know what to say anymore
I don´t know how to keep my cool
I don´t know is it me or you
but I´ve got myself some blues

I think I´ve lost my dancing shoes

Don´t you remember the whispers and lies,
how the old woman was rolling her eyes
As her hand in the fire
my hands are tied
And I know there´s a reason not to open my eyes
The nightmares come back like
they´ve never been left behind

O, I´ve got cracks in my mind
like somebody´s walking there
Like I hear the steps but nobody´s in the stairs
Light makes pretty shadows
but I like the dark more as you´re there
Sometimes I´m afraid of myself
painting with shadows that are not anywhere

I might be a bit scared
of losing my time and dreams
My heart is bursting and my lips are sealed
I don`t know how I could get on through,
get on through and get close to you
When my head is filled with memories
fear and fright left in my old room

Don´t you know my mind is haunted
and I´ll never know what I truly want
I´m chasing nothing but ghosts
Ghosts I left back home
And I don´t know how to keep my cool
And I know it´s not me or you
but I think I´ve got myself some blues
I just need to find my dancing shoes

Yesterday is just a day away

The taste of your sweet, sweet lies
drain on my lips as you make me close my eyes
By your side
it´s so much harder to remember the time
Remember all that´s worthy
remember everything´s fine

All the gloom of yesterday
wanders on my skin by your display
You don´t let me go insane
and that´s what´s wrong with this game
Give me all or nothing just
don´t leave me hanging on this way

I´m too tired to fight with you
or deny what´s growing here
You keep saying that I´m not a fool
but how you could be the one to know
You want to keep the control
and I just hate to hang around
We´re burning it up real slow
though the fire was never allowed

The taste of your sweet, sweet lies
burn my lips even when you´re not around
By your side
it was always so easy to forget the time
Let´s keep on forgetting
all the places we could´ve left behind

Let´s say
France and LA
London, Vienna and Spain
Route 66
all the way

Maybe I don´t want to wake up at home
maybe I want to keep on going insane

Sweet lies
keep me up
and keep me going insane
Let´s keep on forgetting
what it felt like the next day

Fire Inside

Well what are you dreaming of,
what did you have in mind?
She could touch your head slowly
and lose it all for life
Your hair smells like ocean
and some teen spirit and wine
Her finger tips painted as the eve sky
makes you grab them tight
Look her in the eye and say where to go
Is it your place or the city night or home
She could make you lose it all
if you´d tell her she should be sleeping alone

Well what does she want from you,
does she know you can not go?
Parts of you must´ve been left to 1992
when your lips turned old
You guess she wants you,
you wonder while touching her hands
Look her in the eye and ask
is she ready to have you as her man
Everybody else seems empty
or too full of liquor and lies
You ask her yet not wait for the answer
you get closer and qrab her thigh

You stare at her gasp
looking you into the eye
She must be living her dreams now
you so close to her she pounds inside
Love, she wants you
her lips are trembling and her gaze is fire
You don´t even know what you feel for her
is it pure or filled with twisted desire
She touches your hair and you know now
she made you lose the night and yourself
You cuff your lips on hers and it´s gone now
The past & the future´s gone and right this is right now

You dived into the ocean you cannot arise from
the waves hold you both tightly
and finally you´re not alone
It feels like both of you breathe through each other
and as you´d have shared your heart
as it pumps blood and glimmer and is hotter
at each detonation you share together

What it could´ve been or how it should´ve gone
doesn´t matter ´cause there´s no more time to run
She wipes her lips and you plan to let her go
You walk away like after an explosion
that you seemed to set up inside her
You made her glow
Now she crackles after your back
She rustles and falls to pieces behind
But now you know
You made her glow
and now you never need to go back
and you´ll be just fine in time

He´s singing pretty little lies
about fire and about time
when album covers on the floor meant
only sex and a good time

I´m looking at him and nodding my head
Thinking, and watching, and grinding my leg
Yearning, and waiting
Let´s get the fuck out and wake up in your bed

He´s so full of shit but he knows how to play it cool
I´m playing like I don´t know it,
I like to play by the rules
It´s just that sometimes I forget the book

He´s singing "ooh, baby, baby"
and looking my eye
Want´s to lick his lips I´m sure
but I got first to lick mine

Arise

Tell me a joke
I want to know
Just what kinds you like
And when it gets bright
and Sun´s about to rise
I´ll go and get home

Should´ve, could´ve, would´ve

I miss you, I´m missing him,
I need him to get under my skin
I need someone to know
what it feels like when there´s something
something that can´t be put into words
But something
something that can only get worse

It should´ve been love
It should be cry
There should be tears falling from the sky
It should be dark if it gets cold
and you should be near when I get old
It should be something else
than this
when cry doesn´t come and all I do is
miss

There´s memories in the air
but I still haven´t made that charm
and you´re not around
Like what the fuck
You should be right here next to me
listening to these sad songs and
laying your hand on me
Kissing softly my cheek and
tasting like dark wine
I should´ve not had

I need you, I´m needing him
I need him to kiss away this grim
I need someone to know
what it feels like to bury something
something that should´ve not been found
Under the smiles
under the laughter and being proud

It could´ve been fun
It could be sweet
There could be tears of joy falling
It could get severe and taste like sin
and you could be the one taking me in
When it gets rough and it gets cold
and I couldn´t fake anymore to be bold
maybe I could weep

Like hey, where are you now,
when I´m ready to fall and
I´m giving it all
to anyone who wants a part of me
A limb or thought, I know
word´s a sword
Fuck, open the door and kiss me to death
Love me and please take my breath
away

I know it´s you,
and it´s always been
You are too good to be a dream
You´re my lighthouse and haven,
you know it´s true
I was just born to be a fool
I dream and I want to sleep,
sleep with you next to me
Forget all that´s not us
and open my eyes to see
I do

Nobody Said Anything About Being a Fool

She wants to believe she got it right
at the first time,
like a guess in a game
when the branches crackled in the frost
and the heart flew a bit like a stony raven
just a bit by bit
but it still flew

He hates that she tends to think she´s right
like those times when she knew he wasn´t alright
even though he thought he played it quite fine
she made up her mind and decided to get under his skin,
playing a parasite within

Nobody said anything about being a fool
When there´s walls and faces you can´t get through
There´s some little rocks that drop between the teeth
and it would be so easy to break it all
Fracture it all that you knew was meant to do
so

So she believes what she wants to,
with hearing all the sounds but not much listening
And he forgets to tell what really made all the misery
All the softness of a good night kiss
and the pulse and beats of the trembling bliss
when they wait for each other to plead them dry
With the last goodbye

They must get stronger all the time
though the mornings get harder
and the sleep gets thin and slender
She refuses to wake up and he won´t go to sleep
They pretend to dream dreams
while the skin gets warm and tender

Small movement of a finger tip
plays an invitation
Well maybe they could reach each other
in this blue dimension
Dance away the dust of the time
and embrace like they once used to
before waking up

Something moved under it all
when they sighed right at the same time
Nothing was said, dreams didn´t get broken
Something in the corner of an eye told though
that something got left in the dream
and the dream could´ve not been remembered
Morning dust

She couldn´t get through
and he didn´t get enough
Nobody said anything about being a fool
Sometimes dreams just don´t come true
But what can you do than just
sleep on it and
sleep it on through
