1. Få Pulsen Att Slå 03.22 Stod tom och grå, sökte en unison ton för en lätt väg att gå. Ingen ser då, spackla runt spackla på. Lustars hjärtan ska slå och när du tycker till ska hjärnan helst stå still, säg vad dom höra vill. En takt i fyr mot fem för att få höra hem. En själs ridå med spotlight på. När du har inga val och inga smaker samlas alla. Se dom i en dans där själarna står kalla, åh så kalla. Lev så spänt, länmad kvar sen med frågan om livet ens hänt. Samlad står hon still, vet ej vad som är rätt eller vad något är till. Men rädslan formas runt ett mantra byggt av strunt, att nån ser vem du är men många brister klär - snälla se de. När du har inga val och inga smaker samlas alla. Se dom i en dans där själarna står kalla, åh så kalla. Blot en kort sekund i världen, en utmaning total för moral. Önskar att det inte spelar roll när medvind går åt fel håll. Men vem kan klandra och vem kan anmärka, en första sten kastad kommer det stärka? När du har inga val och inga smaker samlas alla. Se dom i en dans där själarna står kalla, åh så kalla.

An Open Mind 05:32
2. An Open Mind 05.31 A new angle of something old, up past the stench of death id break the mold. When I grew up I was poisoned by friends, there rotten ideas viewed from there side made sense. Still I never feared the unknown, that which is the cancer-seed that gets sown, in dirt filled hearts where love should have its place. Its selfishness, fear and mankind gone to waste. If your mind stays open then you'll see it, you'll see it. Your duty in life is to weigh every word, not lock down the first thing you've heard. My friend, I think we'll never know how far we could go, I´d sense the hatred on a sigh. Don't need to go out of your way, stay open. Your duty in life is to weigh all words, not lock down the first you've heard. Every idea filters through, values from people who raise you makes you, but if there ideas are bad, you might not know. You need to stay open to ever grow. Id sing for those who base ideas on love, they reap the blessings from him above. If your mind stays open then you'll see it, you'll see it. Your duty in life is to weigh every word, not lock down the first thing you've heard. My friend, I think we'll never know how far we could go, I´d sense the hatred on a sigh. Don't need to go out of your way, stay open. Every side has levels of truth when viewed from it but which one in love does stand out. I think we'll never know how far we could go, I´d sense the hatred on a sigh. Don't need to go out of your way, stay open. We'll send all that hatred, so pointless outdated, to flames oh now wont you agree. If your mind stays open then, you'll see it, you'll see it. Your duty in life is to weigh every word and not lock down the first you've heard.

03. Bite The Hands Of Love 04.43 I've tried all my life to build some character to spare. Share with them I love and for some reason even those who led astray. Down the river to a sea of nothing, Where I bite the hands of love to leave me waiting there.. I've filled every void and as it fades, tried to show grace. Marks of age have built up on my face and I sing with the sighs of my soul and with some luck this will find you. And I'll bite the hands of love to leave me waiting there. Soon it might grow to something that knows you and I would find meaning, sonically blow you. I'll bite the hands of love to leave me waiting there. And memories build up, so important but I just forget. Why do I pay tears and sweat for something that runs out in the sand. Here's my fear, Im a driving force for meaning while I'll bite the hands of love to keep me waiting there. Much is held, in the time going past. Far to much to let it go. They say don't bite the hand that feeds you but some pain weighs more in time. In time I might learn to accept and be forgiven. And I'll bite the hands of love no more, be waiting there.

4. Lagerfeldskor 03.36 Sofia fick cykel stulen vid festen men hon stal Lagefeldskor. Ska tryckt upp mot vägen med tungkyss smaka hans själ av sten. När han då kommer, tar ett nytt steg, kom förvirring och som hon teg. Hon ville ju bara, ville ju bara någonting. Kullersten, högklackat, stormfart och Kristina skriker - fan va jag är snygg. Pojkar har olika beten på spön, släppas genom stan. Som framgång och hjärta, trygghet och charm. Kan du väl snälla ge mig ett svar, ska allt va så svårt eller får vi se nånting klart. Sofia har stulit ett hjärta på västra sidan av våran stad. Hon spelar snäll men vill bara ses som en gud ett tag. Och han ser inte vad han ej vill se, hon är som ett helgon gånger tre. Vi förblir blinda, drivna och blinda i desperation. Hör mig. För mig. Kan världen ge med sig, ska va så svårt? Jag sliter mig fri för att hålla om något hårt.

5. Ms. Submissive 04.35 Broke her soul with a camera. Young girl stands by, she's bothered but high. Craving pictures for sense. Dangling blindly a soul for free, passion provide new logic and lied She's a beauty but just a shell. Jonestowns bride, in a three-way with Wanda on the road side Wedding night lit by moonlight, pluck and corner the bloom. My bed is on fire and on the street stoned girls stager there spit tasting sweet. Glam dine, rare wine, spend time. Shot up silk catch the void. When will you stand back and see what's destroyed When will you, when will you ever see. My, my baby that song is not free, to bad miss submissive. Confused masses craving a voice, saving them from blame of wrong choice Here's the lane, lose your brain. Don't get caught with a though. Missing Wanda and Lolita a lot, When will you stand back and see what's destroyed When will you, when will you ever see. My, my baby that song is not free, to bad miss submissive. She's a beauty but just a shell. Jonestowns bride In a three-way with Wanda on the road side Wedding night lit by moonlight, pluck and corner the bloom.

6. A White Flag Canvas 03.35 I'll address a senseless cause with hollow norms and laws. Her savoir from confusion couldn't be an illusion. But souls feel the need to stick to sense and cause. I've grown annoyed with trying to figure things out. I'm longing for truth but stuck with doubt. It's studies from a biased source, sends the ship so far of course. So who can I believe in. Some day they'll see most logics free to be twisted to serve the needs of witch way you see it, witch way you see it. They don't know real issue grow behind the slight of hand that sends the flowers of evil thru the veins of time. A White flag canvas in a storm. Now every side has to much pride all sorts of war wont cease. Still most of us want same, a life of peace, and capitalism is a hex, and were all slaves. Serves and craves, lady justices scales hit the floor. Debts a dieing whore in your bed she'll snore and my harts crawling up my through to see, now its too heavy to swallow for me. So who can I believe in. Some day they'll see most logics free to be twisted to serve the needs of witch way you see it, witch way you see it. They don't know real issue grow behind the slight of hand that sends the flowers of evil thru the veins of time. My white flag got black from filth in this storm, came to watch the battle and my limbs got torn. Some day they'll see most logics free to be twisted to serve the needs of witch way you see it, witch way you see it. They don't know real issue grow behind the slight of hand that sends the flowers of evil thru the veins of time. A white flag canvas in a storm.

7. Grey Days And Black Moments 03.14 Morning lights truth to soon, this one in a vomit drenched bathroom. The thought that repeats forms a war and I can't retreat. Born on downhill roads to regret, sacrificed my mind to forget. Loan, push up the debt for a while. When I pay we'll see. Logic fails, forget for now the details. My yellow bird just flew bye, and colored my white flag canvas sky. My black and white mind, starved, brought to where angels dined. Grey days and black moments can fade slowly to be a picture of new life comes hardly for free. The lie entices but vices can draw pistols at dawn. As you yawn your brains splatters over the lawn.

8. Enlightened And Frightened 03.58 I built a world not made to last and that wave would break and draw back fast. A second time the crest caressed, some got stressed but I felt blessed to flout on out, from sense paved over doubt and I'll be there when you're life gets sucked out. And put it on the monsters face, when no lancome kit can scars erase. Down to the core of the machine echoes with my frustration of broken dreams. The wine on serpents tongue is entangled with the hearts unsung. I never knew the day that felt like there's a way. No light nor wall inspired me at all and then I must say I did pray for meaning or a way to find my place Enlightened and frightened set the pace. Now occams razors slit my throat, said the world's to sick for antidote. I'm forced to see the world like this - Go mad or see ignorance is bliss. In filth the world stood tall. I don't know if I should care at all. I never knew the day that felt like there's a way. No light nor wall inspired me at all and then I must say I did pray for meaning or a way to find my place Enlightened and frightened set the pace. Don't know what to do or say, feel or lead which way. I want to but think I'll be wasting my time. I never knew the day that felt like there's a way. No light nor wall inspired me at all and then I must say I did pray for meaning or a way to find my place Enlightened and frightened set the pace. I never knew the day that felt like there's a way. No light nor wall inspired me at all and then I must say I did pray for meaning or a way to find my place Enlightened and frightened set the pace.

Blek Låga 04:01
9. A Road Lament (Blek Låga) 04.09 She was a chord I couldn't match with my tongue, turned to my yellow bird, through my window heard song. And as I looked out, calculating my doubt, those aligned stars shined, took the stage from behind. She grabbed me and gave me a role I trip up on this stage of life and say hold.. Half way down the road my countenance disclose a lukewarm heart that blind love chose. Soon I strained the heart of the queen of dismay. Flipping love like a switch, bullets stopped the itch. And her hopes wedding dress was unstitched in mess by The same bullet song that drew her like a pawn So half way down the road her countenance disclose a lukewarm heart that blind love chose. När jag va yngre så brann längtan i mig, nu styrs jag av förnuftet. Ju äldre jag blir så bleknar min låga, för att va ung är förjävligt. Half way down the road my countenance disclose a lukewarm heart that blind love chose.

Climb Down 04:32
a10. Climb Down 04.41 Your to high, climb down, mommy told me at six. Your to high, climb down, my mommy told me at sixteen. But what can you do if you bleed in your sleep and your stuck to deep to bother and weep and you moan cause your simply to stoned and no one cares. Your in my sky. climb down, climb down and be with me. Your to high but your insured my daddy said six and sixteen. But what can you to if you dug your own grave and your stuck as a slave under constant wrong choices and follow the voices just to get your thrills tough it kills - get help. It takes time, to long time to get all the pieces in a box. Its to small to hold them all. Took the wine, broke the bread.

11. När Hon Kommer Förs Jag Med 05.06 En vind drog genom vår stad spred ditt hår runt axlarna. Vintern kommer. Hon blev kronad av vår av den krona som blir blomster. Vintern kommer. När den ser mig, andas jag svårt, vinterns lag stramar åt. När hon kommer, när hon kommer, förs jag med. Den som färgar världen med sin blick genom mina ögon fick världen med sig. Allt som finns dansar på din sfär. (ta mig igenom, ta mig där) Vintern las på din krona som sår fram det jag du förmår. När hon kommer, när hon kommer, förs jag med. Och sedan värmde min dag med sig, varm hennes slukande blick följde mig. Över själsliga träsk sprang och blomstra i sitt Rosa slingor och tröjan i vitt färga av sig och ekar i mitt. Sen varje gång jag besökte din stad levde du i dagen och natten va jag. Så då sakta men säkert, ner grad för grad, ljus från stjärnor lev kvar i spökstad. På världens scen bländar varje rad. Finns kvar i dig, så ta den längtan från mig. Ja jag finns kvar i dig så ta den längtan från mig. Jag faller ut ur fallna stjärnors stad. Brinner ut och kastar bördan av. Så böjd dig ner räck handen mot den grav. Jag står på tå, så blind är jag längtans slav.
