The Assurance Of Sinking
04:50
|

|
This old ship that he sailed
Was non-seaworthy and so it failed
As he floated all on his own down the ocean
Then it burst and he drowned
And it sank to the ground
Like cheeckles nightmare in slow motion
Give him the hope that he needs
For all that his heart still bleeds
The assistance they received, when they asked to retrieve
Oh this poor, scanty lifeboat from drifting
But each offer he refused, cause the journey he chose
Got its sense in the assurance of sinking

You Can Find The Answer
02:58

You can find the answer, you can have it almost clear
Never do look backwards, never handle things with fear
You can find the answer, you can walk a tightrope calmly
Just keep looking forwards, and your life is like a balm
But don't make any promises that you cannot keep
You can cross the river, you can swim through staying dry
Just don't break off moving, just don't always act that shy
You can find solutions, you can turn the world around,
Build the highest towers - jump but never hit the ground
Don't make any promises that you cannot keep

Give Me A Sign
03:57
|

|
You say that you're sorry now, but I feel inside, it won't help me out
You're polite, say that you worry now, how I'd stand the pain and 'll not drive insane
And I drank too much, because I felt alone, but I know inside, you won't come back home
Yes I drank too much of these poison drinks that remind me of all the ways I think
You overstate that you remember wen, how it was before, but now you are not sure
And you complain that I don't shake a leg, so lethargic, I remain instead
And I drank too much, tried to drug myself, but I know inside, as well that I won't help
Yes I'm sick of all kind of poison drinks that remind me of all the ways I think
Give me a sign, so I know if it's worthwhile to fight
Give me a sign, so I know if I'm wrong or I'm right
Give me a sign, so I know if it's worth it to fight
Give me a sign, so I know that I was wrong and not right

The place you loved is well, you said that all you were missing was some light
Has it always been that quiet
The day you left the flat you said that you ain't got no will no fight
Has it always been that quiet
I'm on losing street, I wonder if I've always felt this tried
Has it always been that quiet
It seems to be an endless street, I'm walking on by day and on by night
Has it always been that quiet
Have I always been that tired?
Has it always been that quiet

Blame It On Tomorrow
04:12
|
|||
|
I've collected so many things
Waiting for what tomorrow may bring
And I'm searching for the future in the past
You say that I select my friends
Like stones in the east coast sand
So it's certain that I'll be desolate at last
Blame it on the maker
Blame it on the one who invented it first
Blame in on tomorrow
That I felt so much sorrow
I know by carrying this bag of stones
I will never go and find my way back home
Do not put into a calming without light
With my forehead on the leaf
I will never catch confidence and belief
And the eco of this lament just makes me tight
Don't blame it on the maker
Blame it on the one who invented it first
Don't blame it on tomorrow
That I felt so much sorrow - in the past

A Waste Of Mind
03:55
|
|||
|
"Au revoir" sweet life and things that mattered, goodbye to all these things I've owned
Farewell to all this luck I wasted, all this gracious living I've known
Oh I ought to have known better, I will find out the hard way
The laugh is always on the loser and and you clever clogs will stay
And you say that all the songs I'm singing. It's just a waste of time
All the energy that I am spending. Is just a waste of mind, is but a waste of mind
Well I don't expect that you support me, but I want you to approve
So you might think that I am wrong for this stony alley I chose

Black Clothes & Rain
03:18
|
|||
|
So now try to forget the pictures of your past time - you know, it won't work
The children that you have left, just to reach the border - just to feel safe
A dog was barking to the sound of a train, listen to the pouring rain
Will you ever wear these black clothes again?
After some years you decided, to have a second springtime, to start a new life
But when your parents died, you retrieved your best clothes, booking a flight

Keep Me Alive
05:23
|
|||
|
Well the story he told of a man who didn't get very old
As an artist he lived beyond control
Look him in his eyes, see that the world has died
All that he wants to know
Look him in his eyes, see the tears he cried. Where does he want to go?
And the song he kept singing in my ears
Well, the message is almost so clear
And the voice that is spinning in my mind
Says "the world, it is very unkind"
Keep me alive, tell me some lies, all that I want to hear
Keep me alive, tell me some lies, before I disappear
And the story went on, and I know it went wrong as he turned away
As if they'd buried him alive he was dead long before he passed away
Look him in his eyes, never satisfied. All that he wants to know
Look him in his eyes, all the tears he cried. Where does he have to go?
And the song he kept singing in my ears
Well, the message is almost so clear
And the voice that is spinning in my mind
Says "the world, it is very unkind"

You Can Call Me Jerk
05:12
|
|||
|
You might call me, bitter or think that I'm not sane
So the bitterness remains
Wherever I will turn to, I always feel unsafe
A long time drifting waif
So you can call me jerk
And even though it hurts
After all that I have been through
You treat me just like dirt
The hand that rocks the cradle, no duck becomes a swan
Please wait from dust till dawn
If it was really nothing, if I'm unloveable
Then I'm no charming man

You can say all the words you didn't say before
Why worry to do that, when there's nothing you're waiting for?
You can go to all the places you haven't been before
Why worry to go there, when expecting the open shore?
Do not worry to go there, no do not worry to go
Because it all depends on the technique of breathing
You can think all the things that are on your mind
Why worry to think them, if there's nothing else you can find
You can be everything that you want to be
Why worry to take chance, cause in the end you will be free

River Flows
12:06
|
|||
|
You're searching for a world you say it should be far from here
The only thing you mentioned is you want to disappear
And so it goes, the river flows, the story goes, the river flows
You say that you were disappointed of my point of view
Because everywhere you go no one really mentions you
And so it goes, the river flows, the story goes, the river flows
You see darkness in my eyes, you see darkness in my eyes
You felt asleep and then you dreamed that you'd be far from here
You carried all your deserts all that you can hear
And so it goes, the river flows, the story goes, the river flows
If could take the chance to get another life that your own
You'll keep it all inside although you know it should be shown
And so it goes, the river flows, the story goes, the river flows
