We smile with folks around
But we all die alone
We all wait for the day to end
The evening comes, we always feel lost in bed
Those folks around
Life is just overflown
We all live in a satellite
We’re falling down, it always ends in tears
This is exactly why it always ends in tears

Maria
03:42
|
|||
I had a gun
With something in my head
I was lost when I met Maria
I was alone,
So crazy in my quest
I was ill, something like a coma
I don’t know why
But I had to go
In a church, in a cold area,
I don’t know why
But I had to faint
On the ground, when I saw Maria’s face
There’s a kingdom by the sea
Where wintertime
Is summertime
You’ve never gone away
My god bring her back to me
No wintertime
Just summertime
You’ve never gone away
I had a gun
I wasn’t at my best
I remember your name “Maria”
I was alone
So lazy on my bed
I was ill, something like hysteria
I don’t know why
But I had to go
In a cell, in a locked area
I don’t know why
But I had to fall
On the ground when I saw Maria’s grace
There’s a kingdom by the sea
Where wintertime
Is summertime
You’ve never gone away
My god bring her back to me
No wintertime
Just summertime
You’ve never gone away

An old polish heart
05:18
|

There’s nobody left in this white room
There’s no one but your lonely soul
Someone has sorted all your life
Picked up and put it in a bag
The glasses always on your side
The candies you used to provide
When we were kids, when you were young,
When you were here, when we were strong.
You used to say “I’m such a fool,
And I’ve got nothing else to loose”
You used to fight, full of warm blood,
When you’re a stranger, you can’t choose,
You used to tell us on the phone:
“What is the meaning of it all?”
The story of that german goon,
Too young, I didn’t understood well
The windows of forgiveness are closed
There’s a little box, full of regrets,
Hidden in Poland, laid to rest,
A little piece of happiness,
When your life was in such a mess,
Like a rule appealing itself,
Like an old father being blessed,
There is no law, no point of view,
You did the best that you could do
But the windows of forgiveness are closed
Closed

Until it hurts
02:31
|

Back in that same old place
Where you used to hang out
When you felt so bored
Back in the neighbourhood
Where you met her
Everything was open
Just before you signed on
With a smile
Let’s go for a walk
Just a drink
Just a talk
You’ve been fooled
Nobody told you how it felt
To be left
Just like anybody
Listen to me
You can never know until it hurts
Stuck with the same old words
That you used to cut in
When it was so boring
Stuck in the good old time
When you kissed her
Everything was open
Years before you broke up
On a whim
Let’s go for a walk
Just a drink
Just a talk
You’ve been fooled
Nobody told you how it felt
To be left
Just like anybody
Listen to me
You can never know until it hurts
I swear you will never know until it hurts

The party
04:40
|
|||
They’re in for a surprise, tonight
The classmates you despise, tonight
Some people that you never met
You know they’ll show you some respect
Your family are gone, tonight
They think you’ll stay alone, tonight
You hope to see her at the end
Maybe you could be her boyfriend
You remember well when you met
She asked you for a cigarette…
Over and over you checked
The cheap lights effects
You hairdressing, your new jacket,
You were so ready for fame
But nobody came
There is no police car, tonight
The music was not loud, tonight
The cider that you drink alone
Makes you cry with her on the phone
You remember well when you met
She asked you for a cigarette…
Over and over you checked
The cheap lights effect
You hairdressing, your new jacket,
You were so ready for fame
But nobody came

Above my head
06:27
|
|||
I see you smile
Above my head
I hear you spell my name
The tears go by
The pain remains
The flicker of my hands
You live
Above my head
Above my fears
Above my cares
I guess you smile
When you see why
I feel betrayed
I know that memory
Can't bring you home with me
Can't make you real at night
But sometimes it helps
You had to leave
I let you go
I guess you're happy now
You live
Above my head
Above my fears
Above my cares
I guess you smile
When you see why
I feel betrayed
I know that memory
Can bring you home with me
Can make you real at night
And sometimes it helps
I know that memory
Can bring you home with me
Can make you real at night
And sometimes it helps

The fire within

There was a place down below
Where we used to drink in summer
Talking life on sunny weather
It was a million years ago
But as far as I remember
Our lives were not easier
Something’s been well, something’s gone
Looking back as a reminder
Trying hard to stay a member
It didn’t worked that much
It’s cracking, cracking, don’t you know?
I am not ready yet to go I let my costumes going down
My body moves but I’m still lying on the ground
I see some shadows on the wall
I’m done but please stop telling everyone
Going fast, then being slow
When you’re far but you feel closer
When your body is a stranger
When did it all go wrong?
From my body to my soul
I feel nothing but a number
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
I’ve never been that strong
It’s cracking, cracking, don’t you know?
I am not ready yet to go I let my costumes going down
My body moves but I’m still lying on the ground
I see some shadows on the wall
I’m done but please stop telling everyone
So many shadows on the wall
I’m done but please stop telling everyone
It was a promise and a lie
Maybe it was just in my mind
It was an ascetic embrace
A museum of emptiness
So you turned your face to the sun
That’s when everything had begun
With your quiet smile on the run
Then you just said “I’m going home”
“I need a place where I belong”
Then my youth in front of the phone
I’ve waited for your call
Waited for your call
Waited for your call
But I’m not here anymore

Healing (interlude)
01:28

Do you feel the sun?
Don’t you feel it all around?
I can feel the warmness, it’s absolutely bright
It makes me feel alright
That smile on your face again
That smile on your face again

Beautiful alone
04:58
|
|||
You seem so lazy
You’re dreaming sweetly
You want to be alone
Life could be easy
You’re young and healthy
You want to stay at home
You’re staying lately
Those shows on tv
Where all is possible
Your life seems empty
You’re trying to be
So beautiful alone
You’re just listening to that song
“Sleep the clock around”
From your favourite band
We smile with folks around
But we all die alone
We all wait for the day to end
The evening comes, we always feel lost in bed
Those folks around
Life is just overflown
We all live in a satellite
We’re falling down, it always ends in tears
Life like a daydream
Such a lonely teen
You’re living on your own
You think so deeply
You shouldn’t be here
But you’ve done nothing wrong
You’re just listening to that song
“Sleep the clock around”
From your favourite band
We smile with folks around
But we all die alone
We all wait for the day to end
The evening comes, we always feel lost in bed
Those folks around
Life is just overflown
We all live in a satellite
We’re falling down, it always ends in tears

How to avoid people
10:18
|

Some people make friends with every human being
They ever just passed on the street
Looking for meaning and deepness, then buying goodies
Some novels they will never read
Trying not to live for themselves by making babies
Because they have to, on a whim
Nothing to do in the real world, I’m not connected,
Being what I don’t want to be
Like drinking water, when everybody’s drunk around
When everybody has an answer
If it comes to an end
Or getting older, while everybody just grow up
While everybody has a lover
A lover and some friends
I’m just not able to fit in with other people
I’ve never meant to make them smile
They seem to be of one species, I’m of another
I’m hugging myself very tight
“Two pills a day, call me next year, we’ll see how it goes”
What side effects can I expect?
New medicine for new disease, a cup of nothing,
I don’t believe in miracles
Like drinking water, when everybody’s drunk around
When everybody has an answer
When it comes to an end
Or getting older, while everybody just grow up
While everybody has a lover
A lover and some friends
Watching electric skies
I see the light above
Learning some basic science
Being about to fight
Singing a lullaby
Trying to sleep alone
One night and I’ll be gone
One night and I’ll be down / One night and I’ll be on my own
Some people make friends with every human being
They ever just passed on the street
Looking for meaning and deepness, then buying goodies
Some novels they will never read
Some people they will never meet
Some meadows they will never seed

You’ve never been as good as your heroes
You’re just a miner’s son, just one of those
Those people in distress
You tried to do your best
You had a son, you never saw him play,
A nice boy who grown up and moved away
No sand castles at sea
Stuck in the factory
You came back to work in the end
But everything had changed
There was no claim, no union,
The fever had gone
You just walked all day
In no kind of way
Then just fall away
You remember the trade-off you declined
Everything is well printed in your mind
A Life with union demands
With no sand in the hands
Now you’re retired, the job is never done
The picket line will always be your home
This is where you will die,
A fight as a goodbye
You came back to work in the end
But everything had changed
There was no claim, no union,
The fever was gone
You just walked all day
In no kind of way
Then just fall away

I was lying on my bed
With some drugs in my veins
Paralyzed in my fall
I was supposed to take time
At the end of the line
To recover alone
All of these drugs in my brains
But I still feel the same
I am stuck in that hole
I was trying to explain
It’s hard to deal with pain
When you’re left on your own
All of these holes in my head
Nothing left in my soul, nothing left at all
“It’s such a nice room” they said
But I don’t feel at home, no I don’t feel at home
