When I draw my gun out And point it at you My hand won't be shaking And You won't shake too And the ground won't be moving And no wind will blow It would all be so perfect To finish this show But I'll miss my shot I'll miss my shot My bullets can't hit you And You've had your ways out God knows I've had mine But we locked ourselves in This broken old shrine Now should I try harder Or will you retreat? You lure me into danger And i'm still on my feet But I'll miss my shot... Birds will fly And only birds will die here I got it all wrong 'till now, my love Was it hidden in your smile all along? So as you get up now When all my weapons are gone Don't look back, don't think twice Maybe this is our song Birds will fly And only birds will die here We got it all wrong 'till now, my love But it's not worth even these birds anyhow And birds will fly Only birds can die here We got it all wrong But it's not worth even these damn birds anyhow

Requiem 03:15
The Angels came to see us at our home You offered them three different horns To play a requiem For our love Play a requiem for our love Entangled in their wings, the angels sat down A cup of tea first, then a cigarette Now brace yourselves, behold The creation of This holy requiem for our love Heaven knows Heaven knows We are changing For seven days and nights we’ve been sitting Memorizing, making sure i engrave it I would have drowned myself in a salty sea But I don't need your angels to save me Heaven knows Heaven knows I am changing Heaven knows So you should know I am changing Have you heard? Have you heard? I am changing.

Losing You 03:46
The sun is up, filled up my cup I don't really see it but I know what i've got I'm losing you The world is spinning, but sky is still I don't really see it, but I know, I can feel I'm losing you Don't you teach me Cannot hear you cannot reach me I've been touched by god Now I can fly, now I can lie Now I can do anything that I try I'm losing you I'm on my shore, I'm with my winds To take me to seas that I've never seen And I'm losing you Don't you teach me Cannot hear you cannot reach me I've been touched by god Lillis bloom, poets gloom All life goes on outside your womb But I'm losing you I'm losing

You are so sincere It makes everyone feel like liars It makes me feel so tired A sinner in your choir You are so sincere Everything's falling to place Nothing’s there to guess Nothing sets the fire Bless me now, mm hm, bless me now. You are so damn clear But I wanna feel dizzy I don't want it easy I want to fight Yes, you are driven by fear You can't switch direction You're there for perfection Well that's a cake I won't bite Bless me now...

If you wanna know, wanna know More about me Come here, come close, come close What do you see? That maybe I'm locked, Don't open Maybe I'm locked, Don't open And if you wanna show, wanna show me All your dreams I say - what's the cost, what's the cost? What's it to me? 'Cause maybe you're lost, and I won't find you You may be lost, I won't find I won't see you Fading away I won't see you Well, I know what you say You say that I am just too young to shut my doors But underground I'm digging for A different sun And now they wanna know, wanna know More about us They wanna talk, they want to unlock But to them we just dance And maybe we're lost, In our party Maybe we're lost, I don't mind it 'Cause everyone's lost In their party Everyone's lost And I don't mind No one sees us Fading away No one sees us And we know what they say They say that we are just too young to shut our doors But underground we're digging for A different sun Under the floor A different sun We're looking for Some other sun

Don't Stop 04:26
Don't stop Before you break Before you break me all apart Don't stop Before you crack Before you take my soul out It got in my way Don't stop Before I shake Before you make me cry Don't stop Before my heart Before my heart will die It got in my way Don't stop Before you break Before you break me all apart

Battleships 04:47
Tonight, my love Let's lay aside our ever growing starve To carve each other's scars Tonight, my love Helmets down, armours off, just for tonight we have To let old engines strive There is a battleship inside my chest And it won't cease, it won't rest We're like pirates now, Each eager to protect his own treasure In an aching strange kind of pleasure Anchors down, pulling to the ground. Tonight, moon rises pale Just let it float and say that you will sail Anywhere for me, your dove And I know, I see Tomorrow we'll be drawn deep down to sea But may we soar above? Cause all of these battleships inside my chest They won't cease, they won't rest We're like pirates now, Each eager to protect his own treasure In an aching strange kind of pleasure Anchors down, pulling to the ground. I know, I see Tomorrow we'll be drawn deep down to sea But may soar above, Just for tonight, my love?
