For myself
Random destruction, in this prison I called home
I built my heart from what the tide washed away
My shadow’s weight
is sinking me
The sea recalls me every night I dream of leaving
I dug this grave for you
so I could sleep here too
A spell in grains of sand
"They died, for you"
Taste the salt’s kiss on your lips
feel the sunburst on your skin
and keep pretending that there’s an anchor
you can lift to escape
you're a man without a name
we are all inside your head
spread your wings, jump and just pretend to fly
I built this boat for you
so set sail and let me go
YOUR SOULS’RE TRAPPED IN MY SONGS
I'll burn them all
For a fighting chance
I’ll write down all our memories in my skin
For a chance to escape
For a day away
And someday I'll reclaim my name
Before I can forgive myself
I'll write down all our memories in this sand
For a chance to awake
For a day away
I'll bury this
For myself to escape
For myself this fate
I wrote this song
For myself

I was born blind and deaf
and sick within
I never felt the cold
‘cause I was never fully awake
I grew mad at you
for not showing your face
I could see the stars, not their light
so unaware…
I’ve never seen lightning this close
and I’m haunted
Channel through my chest
I will feed you my bones
your touch turned a man into a God
now I’m the storm and I’m never alone
Failed attempt at man
I see all your skins inside out
I can’t fall asleep
I breathe through holes in my spine
Too easy to forget
so painfully aware
a body so numb, lifeless limbs
until we collided
I’d never seen lightning this close
and I’m haunted
Channel through my chest
you can feed off my bones
when you touch my hands
I feel like a God
but I’m the storm
it’s time to blow
I’d never seen lightning this close
now I’m doomed
Strike in my chest
you might find room near my heart
I will stop pretending I was made to tame this storm
but please stay with me
and don’t let me go

Miles away
I saw the enlightened and their mirrors
fighting for a god that lost her faith
and faded away
they can burn our cities down…
but they will never see the sky!
The beggar spoke
“we built walls to hide the clouds
we sell souls in exchange for blood”
May pyramids hold safe your name
‘Cause we will not
We’re dead inside
but we can save our own lives
We’re stardust’s sons
ready to fight this war we’re meant to win
We blamed the horizon for our tiny eyes
unfit to see beyond
we screamed to fill the space inside our bones
Just give me one last chance to change what’s not me
Give me one last chance to fight for us tonight
We’re dead inside, but we will stay together
and these scars will rise us from below
‘Cause we won’t live to see a Brand new day
but we can change our own lives
we found the meaning in the fall
There was a void in our hearts, but we filled it with songs

She wrote a letter for me
‘cause she know I could give in
The boy with the skin of leaves
with the girl of the sparkling eyes
Don’t you look away
‘cause I’m what’s left from my mistakes
Welcome to the place where my dreams died
It’s all inside my head
I’ll find you wherever you’re going
‘Cause I will find my way back up to the start
and I will learn the words to say goodbye
We will rise through the remains of the sky
If I could only turn my words into daylight…
She drew a smile on my hand
‘cause she knows I’m losing it
the girl who’s afraid to dream
and the boy too scared to sleep
Don’t you look away
‘cause I’m what’s left from yesterday
Welcome to the place where they all left me
Here, I’ll build my nest
I see you wherever I’m looking
‘Cause I will find my way back up to the start
and I will learn the words to say goodbye
We will rise through the remains of the sky
If I could only turn my words into daylight…

We woke up late
I found my place inside your head
I stretched my body
and I drifted away…
I fell within
the dragonflies, your drawings and their dreams
the way my name is smiling on your lips
I’m not afraid ‘cause I found in your ribs
The million ways we love losing sleep
You always said
“let the words define themselves
You’re big enough, I love the way you sing”
You make me feel
like I could reach the storms and be back
with a better song
the only one for you
But don’t let go…
Sometimes to fly
all you need is to fall
And I know the stars look scary
when you’re close
I wouldn’t change your flowers
for the world
your tiny smile
when you’re feeling small
I’m not afraid ‘cause I found in your ribs
the million ways we love losing sleep

I’m spitting blood again…
but I still hear you breathing
mumbling “you know this won’t be enough”
From under my bed
I can feel we’re giving up
My stomach hurts more
the higher you fall, the deeper these cuts get
when you pretend that if you see me I can’t hurt you
Look at me, we are who we want to be
‘Cause I won’t sleep tonight
until you let me burn this body down
We’ll be brighter when our lungs give up
You have to take my hand
and cross the path
You have to count the cracks that lead to your heart
you just take my hand
I´ll find my way to you (breathe me in, I’ll breathe you out)
What can I do with this severed head
that won’t stop hurting me?
I haven’t seen you in the last 6 months
your echo fills the void but I can barely breathe
On this beautiful day, what a bright blue sky
to be trapped inside this body
and the lights are, they are too bright
come get me out
‘Cause I won’t sleep tonight
until you let me burn this body down
We’ll be brighter when our lungs give up
You have to take my hand
and cross the path
You have to count the cracks that lead to your heart
you just take my hand
I’ll find my way to you (breathe me in, I’ll breathe you out)

You float, untouchable
unreachable, dividing light beneath your wings
My breath shatters in particles I can’t follow
How can I move, my eyes are too shallow
Wait for me
These frantic lungs can’t take this fire
I lost control of all the crops I burnt
while landing on my feet
you know I want to learn to change my skin
just leave me here and run
far, and one day I will set me free
Don’t let the darkness in your heart destroy you
my hands are weak, for all the times I hurt your dreams
Just teach me how to sleep
What if I go?
Would you let me go?
Don’t let the darkness in your heart destroy you
my hands are weak, for all the times I hurt your dreams
and if I fall, don’t let my heart destroy you
my hands are weak, for all the times I hurt your dreams
Broken
Hopeless
Headed
Nowhere

Black snow
Don’t cover my tracks
Black snow
These stars won’t come back
I’m sorry I couldn’t write you this song…
How can I look back
when all I see is the ghost of you
turning into me?
Your graves will hold my name
The bridges I’ve burned
will light my way
Would you stay awake?
long enough until I can sleep…
Shivering hands, I can just pray
this dawn will never leave me here
You carved your mark in my back
but I won’t forget
my fire-heart, my hand-made wings
I cannot see the end anymore
But may shadows behold
my way back home
Would you stay awake?
long enough until I can sleep
I’ll keep fighting for a dawn that never comes
keep holding on to a song that’s worth losing it all
‘Cause I know
The sky has shores
and I will find them all for you
‘Cause where do you go
when I face up the light
I saw mountains crumbling down on me
but I’ll stand
like shattered glass
forever lonesome
You may’ve won but you will never take my heart
I’m sorry I could only write you this song…
