The Wave

You know I can't find my way out
I know you can't find your way
You don't have to think
You don't have to
You don't have to think
You don't have to
Rush on to the beach
Rush on to the beach
No one is safe here
Cause it's a tidal wave
It's a tidal wave
Rush on to the beach
Rush on to the shore
Rush on to the beach oh
No one is safe
No one is safe
Stay
Out of the bay
Go and betray
Nothing but waste
Anywhere you look
And everywhere you go
Stay
Out of the bay
Where the night is gray
Out of the bay
For the rest of your days
After the panic and the wave
You don't know what remains
Who will take the blame?
Who will take the blame?
You know I can't find my way out
I know you can't find your way
You don't have to think
You don't have to
You don't have to think
oh
You don't have
No one is safe here
No one is safe
Cause It's a tidal wave
It's a tidal wave
Rush on to the beach
Rush on to Ohhh
Rush on the beach
Rush on to the shore
Don't run in circle
You know I can't find my way out
I know you can't find your way
Isn't it the right time for us to play?
Let's walk on the track with our feet of clay

Invisible Walls
03:10
|
|||
I woke up at night
Went to my window
Stared at the ocean
Then I saw a light
Beyond the skyline
Beyond the skyline
It was a boat
Arriving from Hades
It sailed over the Seven Seas
Looking for a shelter
Looking for a haven
Looking for a place
It smashed against invisible walls
It smashed against invisible walls
The wall of human nature
The wall of shame
The wall of humiliation
The wall of anthems and flags
I saw a boat
Across my window
Beyond the skyline
Beyond the skyline
Looking for a shelter
Looking for a haven
In the sun
Looking for a haven
In the sun
There is no light
Beyond the skyline
Just a shipwreck
Thousands of ghosts
Floating on
Floating on
Floating on the water
Floating on
Floating on
Floating on the water
They smashed against invisible walls
They smashed against invisible walls
The wall of human nature
The wall of shame
The wall of human nature
The wall of pain
Devised for the insignificant ones
Devised for the insignificant ones
Devised for the insignificant ones

I Threw it All Away
03:35
|
|||
I'm so pleased to tell you I was wrong
I'm so glad to see that I can run
Through the waves
Oh the waves
They'll never take me down
Here comes the bright light
Here comes the bright light now
Here comes the bright light
Here comes the bright light now
I'd say that the entire world has changed
And yet we are exactly the same
We have been
Left behind
Forgotten by the time
Here comes the bright light
Here comes the bright light now
Here comes the bright light
Here comes the bright light now
And then I threw it all away
I threw it all at once
Now I'm standing by your side
And I really feel small
Yeah, I threw it all away
And now it's been a while
Since we haven't raised our eyes
What a strange thing to say
But I threw it all away
And maybe
That was it
Oh maybe
That was it
We were on the shore
For so long
Clearing our souls
Hoping for nothing more
We were on the shore
For so long
Ripping our clothes
But everything
Comes and goes
And maybe
That was it
Oh maybe
That was it
I know I threw it all away
I threw it all at once
Now I'm standing by your side
And I really feel small
Yeah, I threw it all away
And now it's been a while
Since we haven't raised our eyes
It sounds like a strange thing to say
But I threw it all away
And maybe
That was it

Over the Raindrops
04:36
|
|||
Break
Alone in the dark
Wait
Wait one more time
In such a pretty way
I can touch you now
I can feel you now
I can touch you now
Stay a little while
Stay a little while
Just stay a little
Stay a little
Stay a little while
Minutes
Hours
And Days
Minutes
Hours
And Days
Stay a little while
Stay a little while
Just stay a little while
Minutes
Hours
And Days
Minutes
Hours
And Days
Minutes
Hours
And Days
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I've got memories for all the days
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I've got memories for all the days
I will run after you
I will run after you
Over the raindrops
Over the rain
I will run after you
Over the raindrops
Over the rain
Just stay a little while
Stay a little while
Stay a little while

There's a Riot Coming
03:53
|
|||
No I can't tell for sure
If there's a riot coming along
I wish I could tell, tell, tell
I could tell you now
What's wrong and what's going on
And on and on and on
Sun is shining
Through your window
Yeah it's shining
Through your window
And it's all right
It's all right
All right
Their lies are pouring down the street
Their lies are pouring down the street
No I can't tell for sure
If there's a riot coming along
I wish I could tell, tell, tell
I could tell you now
What's wrong and what's going on
Their lies are pouring down the street
Their lies are pouring down the street
Sun is shining
Through your window
Yeah it's shining
Through your window
And it's all right
It's all right
All right
No I can't tell for sure
If there's a riot coming along
I wish I could tell, tell, tell
I could tell you now
What's wrong and what's going on
No I can't tell for sure
If there's a riot coming along
I wish I could tell, tell, tell
I could tell you now
What's wrong and what's going on
And on and on and on

Take on the Best
03:15
|
|||
Sometimes you're right
Sometimes I get mad
Sometimes you lie
Sometimes we just hurt ourselves
And we never calm down
Anyway, Anyway
Sometimes I'm wrong
Sometimes we get lost
In a role play
But no one ever wins that game
And we never calm down
We'll take on the best
Take on the best
Take on the best
We'll take on the best
And leave out the rest
When winter comes
The water turns to ice
Long snowy nights
Just keep us in the midst of strife
And we never calm down
Anyway, Anyway
All seasons pass
Every river flows
And after the fire
Always come the ashes of hope
May we never calm down
We'll take on the best
Take on the best
Take on the best
We'll take on the best
And leave out the rest
Let's get to the bottom of things
Without getting tangled up in shades of grey
Of grey
Of grey
Then we could set things right
We could set things right
We could set things right
All right

Modern Life
03:25
|
|||
I see you now on the top floor of your tower
I see you now downsizing and delegating
I see you now on the top floor of your tower
Soon you'll be sleeping and others will be cleaning
Soon you'll be sleeping and others will be cleaning
Hey, ho, step out now
Hey, ho, step out
Hey, ho, back off
We don't, no we don't, live in the same world
We don't, no we don't, live in the same world
I see you now dividing and ruling
But beware... still waters run deep
Oh beware... still waters run deep
Hey, ho, step out now
Hey, ho, step out
Hey, ho, back off
Hey, ho, back off
You gotta pay for your modern life
You gotta pay for your modern life
You gotta sing some songs for the aftermath
You gotta sing songs to reverse the tide
And get away
And get away
Earnings, savings, profits and ties
Investments, rates, enterprise
Plastic bags, oil spill at night
Buyers, sellers, products and lies
Investments, rates, enterprise
Plastic bags, oil spill at night
Earnings, savings, profits and ties
Earnings, savings, profits and ties
You gotta pay for your modern life
You gotta pay for your modern life
You gotta sing some songs for the aftermath
You gotta sing songs to reverse the tide
And get away
And get away

Shut Your Eyes and See
04:02
|
|||
It seems you're getting somewhere after all
You finally found your way out
Through your silent eyes
All things looked hollow
Now candles and stars
Sparkle in daylight
You will speak
You will fly
You will speed up the tide
You'll be lauded and praised by hundreds of strangers
Hide from yourself
Hide from yourself
Hide from yourself
It seems you're getting somewhere after all
You finally found your way out
At the sound of the horn
You'll run away then die
Over and over
For a thousand times
You will speak
You will fly
You will speed up the tide
You'll be lauded and praised by hundreds of strangers
Hide from yourself
Hide from yourself
Hide from yourself
Shut your eyes and see
Shut your eyes and see
Shut your eyes and see

A Mirage of Us
03:03
|
|||
Five years
Since we severed all ties
Five years
Now you're on your own
Every once in a while your mind is drifting
Every once in a while you end up thinking
What happened to us?
To you and I
To you and I
A mirage, a mirage, a mirage of us
A mirage, a mirage, a mirage of us
A mirage, a mirage, a mirage of us
A mirage of us
A feeling of loss
Last night
I saw you by the weeping willow
You had a strange look on your face
Delighted and restless
Every once in a while your mind is drifting
Every once in a while you end up thinking
What happened to us?
To you and I
To you and I
A mirage, a mirage, a mirage of us
A mirage, a mirage, a mirage of us
A mirage, a mirage, a mirage of us
A mirage of us
A feeling of loss
