Meteorite

It's hard to make sense of how far one can drop, before you've taken the fall
And while my voice is a tremble and begs for attention, you're staying completely calm
The fighting, the crying, the hurts and the lying, the quarrels that end with a brawl
But those plain understanding, emotionless words, they really beat them all
And hope should be last to leave a soul
But yours must have left long ago
The last verse been read, the message is clear, the sentence is just a few words long
But the head is in turmoil and synapses in tinfoil, are reading the future all wrong
So your words coming down on me, like a ten-thousand feet, life-ending meteorite
Turning the forests to ashes, the ashes to clouds and the clouds into blinding light
And hope should be last to leave a soul
But yours must have left long ago
And here's to your steps into the unknown
While I fall right back to where we first came from

Petals
03:01

From your house you watch the farmer reaping flowers with his scythe
And overhead, colourful petals climb the wind into the sky
But when the rain starts falling down, your old god's left this town
And what's inside your praying hands, is too hard to understand
Like the sound of a thousand candles going out all at once
And the white noise from the silence keeps you sleepless for month
And then the rain starts falling down, and your old god's left this town
And soon the gutters overflow, with still no answers around
And what's inside your praying hands, is too hard to understand

Teeth
02:58
|
|||
|
The counting down when all's been set
Before the sharp teeth bite your neck
Before the curtains pull aside
And all your feelings take the ride
Before the bell will ring above your door, to find you floored
Now is this how you thought it'll end
When you applied for lifeTM
That when you got the papers right
Your big mouth takes a too big bite
But not before they'll drag you by the feet, you're feeling incomplete
And repeat your past of blinking lights
And rapid kicks through out the night
The thrilling beats of the unknown
The life you've gained, the life you've thrown
The drunken kiss, the playful acts
The late night talks, devoid of facts
And you think, you'd learned by now, but you never learn somehow
Is it meant to be like this
Between the small and bigger fish
Between the ocean and the rocks
Thoughts that flow to mental blocks
To drive with speed into the cul-de-sac
And face the facts
Again your flame is burning fast
Lighting bridges as you pass
Kicking pebbles on the glass
Towards your vision of green grass
And not before the end of all known life, you'll open up your eyes
And repeat your past of blinking lights
And rapid kicks through out the night
The thrilling beats of the unknown
The life you've gained, the life you've thrown
The gentle strokes of human touch
Acknowledgement you crave so much
Those old words reaching high and far
Your wishful thinking pulling hard
The drunken kiss, the playful acts
The late night talks, devoid of facts
And you think, you'd learned by now, but you never learn somehow

Coming Down
02:50
|
|||
|
The sunless months return
And now the faint lights slowly burn
Last year, your parents house
This time, we didn't even write
There's something out of tune
The gap between one's words and what they do
You cried your heart out
As I calmed you down and held on tight
But I won't let it show
Cus I already saw everything there is
To know
Seven days, not more
To throw remorse and go look for more
I want to understand
But I've been wondering lately if I even can
If all there is
A rampage of impulses in a mist
Then what are words? What could
possibly be left to learn?
So I won't let it show
Cus you gave me all the signs one will need
To know
No, I won't let it show
Cus I gave you every chance I still had left
You know

16 Days
03:10
|
|||
|
I take the cue, those big print news
Still try for 16 days
Your ghost by my side, solidifies
And walks around my place
Sober up, but into what?
Formally yours, contracts and clothes
We throw it out
While your ghost and I, take turns to lie
Into each others eyes
Sober up, but into what?
A time and place, you longed to escape?

Creatures
02:06
|
|||
|
It's close to midnight and the screens still lit bright and everyone keeps to themselves
And you're scared of the news from across the atlantic, I'm scared of everything else
As our star goes down, the planet walks around, turning our days to month
And we still look so bright, in our synthetic light, but we start to forget the small things we like
As the night overtakes
The creatures it makes
Project themselves on the walls
So we stay in the spotlight
Distracted and locked up
Apart from everything else
As our star goes down, the planet walks around, turning our days to month
And we still look so bright, in our synthetic light, but we start to forget the small things we like

The Salt
03:27
|
|||
|
Lick off the salt, the blame and the faults
I don't know for how long we've just talked
And of course I'm afraid, I've pushed you away
But for now it's so quiet and calm
And tell me your dreams, as true as you please, that always kept you alive
And I'll open my jar, all packed with my scars, I always intended to hide
Begone you earthquakes, you've shaked me for days
But your last words just made them stop
And I know you're afraid, I'll just go away
But my love's for the things that we're not
And here comes the day, where the walls start to sway, and you no more know what you feel
We should brace for the storm, that's coming up strong, but first, let's just lie here still
How far can you walk, before your old heart, tells you, you won't make it back
And the doubt in your head, is beginning to spread 'til your old ways are starting to crack
And there goes the floor, the roof and the door and all we built up over time
And the things we put in, get lost to the wind, but love, we'll one day be fine

Capsule
01:49
|
|||
|
Put me in a capsule, for month and month on end
Revolving the planet, the one place you understand
And wrench your mind as tight you can
But something's leaking through
And dead generations are now screaming at your door
Tell me when you're hurting, and I'll tell you it'll be fine
That soon we'll be landing back home, down on solid ground
And we bring up our rutines of joy
Again postpone our fear
That we've changed more the last days, than we did the last three years
