Silence Kills
05:09
|

Night comes and I break the ice
I make a bold move
I need to get a better grasp
Please tell me who you are before silence kills
Crying over failure, hoping for the best, oh it takes patience
Holding in the answers for later when it’s too late
they were buried in your mind, they were deep
Your words die inside your mouth
I hang onto your lips
So much we have left unsaid
We fathomed our hearts
Oh dear, I wasn’t waging war,
I came to you in peace, but your silence kills

The Rats

What about the rats ? What about the mice ?
What about the bees ? What about the wasps ?
What about the worms that eat our meat ?
What about the rats ? What about the mice ?
Anything I see, anywhere I go, I ask myself
What about today ? What about tomorrow ?
What about the king ? What about the prince ?
What about the nights we spend alone ?
What about the girls ? What about the boys ?
Anything I see, anywhere I go, I ask myself

I AM, YOU ARE, HE IS, SHE IS, WE ARE
INSIDE, UNHARMED, SAFE FROM THE RAGING STORM
HE IS UPTIGHT, UNSURE AND ODD
HIS EYES ARE IDLE IN HIS SKULL
SHE STAYS INDOORS, SHE KEEPS IT COOL
HER YARD HAS TURNED INTO A POOL
EVERY WALL HAS BEEN WASHED
THE SWEATING ROOFS EXUDE THEIR STEAM
CLOSED DOORS OPEN ONTO THE STREET
PATIENT PEOPLE ARE RELEASED
HE WALKS HIS DOG ON A LEASH
SHE GOES TO HER RENDEZ-VOUS

Riverside

Walk down to the riverside
walk down to the bottom of the sea
Don’t you fear to drown,
your heart will always save you
Don’t look back to the past,
your eyes have never helped you
Walk down to the riverside
walk down to the bottom of the sea

Far Away Now
04:52
|
|||
Around this place,
There’s plenty of homes.
Where you are fine
I will go.
Among the crowds
Of people in town
My voice bounces
On the walls.
Now that you are far away
That you are far away, now.
My rage to live
Takes me forward
When morning light
Hits the clock.
No need to please
The one who came first.
Those you dislike
I will scorn.
Now that you are far away
That you are far away, now.

A Bird's Eye
03:30
|

Seen from a bird’s eye
all the treetops look the same.
Seen from a bird’s eye,
ponds and lakes stains on the plain.
Seen from a bird’s eye
streetlights burn without a flame.
Seen from a bird’s eye
busy heads dots in a maze.
We walk on earth, we are made of earth.
