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
