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 | ||
