I was trying to give
You were trying to get
I was trying to prove
You were trying to guess
I was trying to give
You were trying to get
I was trying to prove
You were trying for less
In the middle of us
A generation fell
This is how I feel
This is how I am
May our love be true
Put my love to test
After all you've done
What did you expect
I was trying to prove
You were trying to guess
I was trying to work
You were trying to rest
I was trying to give
You were trying for less
As the flowerets
By nocturnal chill
Bowed down and closed
When the great sun hits
They 'll uplift themselves
Open on their stems
This is how my dear
We 'll ascend again
I was trying to prove
You were trying to guess
I was trying to work
You were trying to rest
I was trying to give
You were trying to get

Running Free
04:30
|

You drive away
You want some relief
The time has come
To choose how to live
But you know I’m as simple as it gets
Calm down woman
I’m just a man
‘Cause I know your past
And I do care
It’s got nothing to do
With what we'll share
Free
You're running free
You're hurting me
You're running free
You're never there
But you used to be
In time of needs
You gave me some peace
But now you’ve changed
I don’t know why
I’m always distracted
You don’t reply
I gave you my records
To hold on by
I’m really trying to get you outta my mind
Free
You're running free
You're hurting me
You're running free

Infinity

You come to me
Another dream
Infinity
Infinity
Are you gonna wait for me ?
Cause deep inside I wanna leave
There’s nothing that can hold me back
Now show your hand and pull me up
No matter how long it’s been
I’m still the boy you loved to kiss
And I miss you more tonight
The 58 stars aligned
You pictured all those movies scenes
A tall man walking at the beach
Looking only at the sea
And now I think that man was me
You come to me
Another dream
Infinity
Infinity
No matter how long it’s been
You’ll still be floating next to me
Speaking words of comforting
The universe is calling me
The tablet on your mortal mold
A faithful witness holds the score
Counting all my rights and wrongs
And we ‘re off to the eternal shore
You come to me
Another dream
Infinity
Infinity

No Shape
04:03

Got no shape
No ways to move
You've got no shame
To show the world
Artificial air for my
For my thoughts
Got no shape
Nowhere to go
You've got a place
For me to grow
Artificial air for my
For my thoughts
I've got no shape
No ways to move
You've got no shame
To show the world
That I'm nothing
But a form
There's no meaning
To ignore
I've got no eyes
to see you rule
I've got no will
to fight for you
I've got no love
to give to you
I've got no brain
to think this through
I've got no ears
to hear you mourn
I've got no teeth
To chew your food
I have no place
To go to
I have no mother
I've lost her too

Going Down
03:51
|

I was standing
At the bottom of the line
When I saw you babe
All this damage
I couldn’t manage
Now it’s driving me insane
If you need to
I can teach you
But you'll have to get away
From this hunt love
You ‘re apart of
We both know this place ain’t safe
You fight for nothing
I know there’s something
So let’s pretend that it’s not true
Escape the feeling
Maybe we’re dreaming
And today’s the day we'll get back home
I’m going down, down, down
You’re artificial
Somebody’s vision
With a mind that it’s not yours
Implanted memories
Replicant daydreams
Tyrrell will have another son
It’s never over
They’re getting stronger
Its been too long for me to carry on
I try to hold on
Don’t let me fall off
These moments will be lost like tears in rain
I’m going down, down, down

Emma

Emma had a child
Oh she had a baby too soon
Her dreams are not the same now
No horses in the wild for you
She married a broken man
A father by mistake
He had a tiny heart
But his hair looked great
She fell in love with him
She believed in everything he d say
The signs of time were there
But she did it anyway
Now look what you've done
(Oh what you've done)
You are all alone again
The kid got his grandmas name
So she had to act like her
A loving and caring lady
But she kept it all inside
It made her sick you see
The things you told her not to say
She kept it all inside
You only visit just to pray
Now look what you've done
(Oh what you've done)
You are all alone again

My Love
02:25
|

My love
You say
Is now gone
And I pray
To the sun
You'll be back one day
And I think of you
Only when then sun is dying
A circle of love
But the weatherman is crying
The eight on the side
Will define the afterlife
A Grateful Dead song
Will inspire my mood tonight

Someday
03:55
|

As the sun enters your room
You get up
And you feel like
It’s a waste of time
Now you're searching
Somewhere to move
`Cause this is the way
They teach us
How to survive
But,
Someday
When all of this hate will be gone
And our love will remain
The sky will be bright
And the children ‘ll go out and play
Forever and ever our troubles will go away
For us, we'll be one
To forgive all the sins that we've made
Oh someday
(There’s really nothing more to show)
(There’s really nothing more to wait from you)
There’s nothing that will do
I’m always in your fucking debt
You are always one step ahead (oh no no)
There’s nothing that will do
I’m always in your fucking debt
I know you wanted me as dead as I can be
But if Christ’s a myth
my mother will decide for me
No reason for your fuckin’ flattery
So I’m standing there
The river that was here is gone
The fire that you started
Burned them all
But this light will lead
It'll bring you down just wait and see
Someday
When all of this hate will be gone
And our love will remain
The sun will be bright
And the children 'll go out and play
Forever and ever our troubles will go away
For us, we'll be one
To forgive all the sins that we've made
Oh someday

Mirage

My mind is out there
But I’m stuck in a cage
I wonder what could happen
If I could just escape
The things you give me
Bring tears in my eyes
Your garden has some trees that,
That I wish I could climb
Maybe someday it happens
maybe someday I’ll try
Maybe I’ll walk the mountains
Maybe I’ll fly the sky
My mind is out there
But I wish I was too
Deprived from all the beauty
That is free and for all
You know it’s hard to say what,
What is real and what’s not
Sometimes I blink my eyes
When the lights are all off

Love Define
02:11

And I feel so tired
It’s been a hard hard year
And I feel so tired
Can you sing to me?
And I feel so tired
Can you change my sheets?
And I need to sleep
And I need to think
Can you read to me?
Can you talk to me?
Cause I’m so afraid
Of the afterlife
Is it real or fake?
Cause I’m so tired
And I need to sleep
Can you please not leave?
