Slow moves
A compromise between honesty and lies To lead me past, their sly disguise My moves are slow but soon they'll know Behind the scenes they grow their schemes Hiding intentions, revealing only fractions Their moves are slow but soon you'll know They'll keep on whispering their mantras We'll keep on whispering our mantras My moves are slow but soon they'll know Their moves are slow but soon you'll know
Remain
We'll remain after everything's been washed away by the rain We will stand upright as we stand today
Lovestain
You left a lovestain on my heart And you left a bloodstain on the ground But blood comes off easily
Heartbeats
One night to be confused One night to speed up truth We had a promise made Four hands and then away Both under influence we had divine scent To know what to say Mind is a razorblade To call for hands of above to lean on Wouldn't be good enough for me One night of magic rush The start: a simple touch One night to push and scream And then relief Ten days of perfect tunes The colours red and blue We had a promise made We were in love And you, you knew the hand of a devil And you kept us awake with wolves teeth Sharing different heartbeats in one night | ||

Crosses
Don't you know that I'll be around to guide you Through your weakest moments to leave them behind you Returning nightmares only shadows We'll cast some light and you'll be alright for now Crosses all over, heavy on your shoulders The sirens inside you waiting to step forward Disturbing silence darkens your sight We'll cast some light and you'll be alright for now Crosses all over the boulevard The streets outside your window overflooded People staring they know you've been broken Repeatedly reminded by the looks on their faces Ignore them tonight and you'll be alright We'll cast some light and you'll be alright
Deadweight on velveteen
Deadweight on velveteen It's retained emptiness It's not what it seems Uncover the mystery Tell everyone what you see It's not what it seems Vulgar when brought to light Betray the image There's nothing between the sheets It's not what it seems But deadweight on velveteen Vulgar when brought to light Vulgar the lie
All you deliver
On the verge of ruin You'll see it all clear How steep the fall is How long the way back is On the verge of success It's all white and fluffy Horizons are blurred By the time you reach your goal Tongues will be twisted To the point where you'll lose track of your soul Distorted pictures is all you deliver
Stay in the shade
Stay in the shade until you reach the grave Hide from yourself and see how you fade You'll see how you fade Love moves on Life goes on You'll see how you fade See how you fade Move on or you'll see how you fade | ||

Hints
While the crowd is waiting for the final kiss The one which allows them to sleep well We'll walk along our own path The one which will lead us to our own bless But we need hints before we get tired We need speed before we lose pace We need a hint to know we're on the right track
Save your day
Poke the body with a stick roll it down Ignore the moaning as it tumbles to the ground Be brave and save your day These days are cold Numbers rula I've been told The pattern is clear better fit in the mould Be brave and save your day To cough up sympathy isn't hard but it costs Hold tight to your life savings You have to do what you must To save your day So poke the body and roll it down The grave looks cold but we're still young
Broken arrows
Broken arrows along the shore Seems you intended to come back for more It was summerlove leave this town It's too cold to bathe and the leaves are brown Summerlove left this town It was too cold to bathe and the leaves turned brown The sun went down And with it the love we found That's the way things are sometimes Most of the time | ||
