1.	The Parrot's Dance 02:49	lyrics	buy track
Cleaning up this mess Of what we may posses I know what I want And you want it too If one of us would give in What an exploding release it would do Funny little dance we ought to do I smash you pride You break my wall Can never hide You crush my peace I tear apart what makes you stand Funny little dance we ought to do I know what I want And you want it too Funny little dance we ought to do
2.	When The Road Becomes A River 03:36	lyrics	buy track
I use to play games with everyone around me I use to pretend I could be anyone A spoiled generation in a golden time Where every battle has been fought for us Is a part of us Cause we know When you play games with the road The road becomes a river Drifting away from the shore So fast and blinding We look ahead never aside To see what might hit us We want to get there We want to know We want to crave And off we go A whisper comes through, through all the grounding We listen for a while but get caught by the current A spoiled generation in a golden time Where every movement has a consequence Is defining us Cause we know So fast and blinding We climb ashore The ladders falling We want to know Dive in the water And climb ashore For just a moment And off we go
3.	The Mermaid 03:52	lyrics	buy track
Waiting for the tide Won’t help you I won’t change my mind It’s set and done I’ve seen it in your eyes Those eyes that hunt me She tells me to leave it all behind Tell me to change my name Move away while there’s time Deep deep she lives Finds a way to the heart Light light she speaks And her words touch you She’s a mermaid of a new kind Hides inside tells me to be quiet She sings for you Till you think you know me well (Now you think you know me well,…) Deep deep she lives Finds a way to the heart Light light she speaks And her words touch you She tell me to be quiet, then she tells me to roar She tells me how to survive, and she tells me when to go She calls my inner core and she tells me alone She tells me to roar She tells me to roar She tells me to roar She tells me to roar
4.	You Against Me 03:20	lyrics	buy track
You against me A city, a spine, a core, a shine A shadow on the wall? Perhaps it’s how you’ll fall We caress, we crave, we scratch, we give There’s a line we cannot pass For our chase is not to last Flames are dancing in your eyes Is it me or is it you That wants to be the one who chooses I feel you close, you let me in My love is stronger then my fear You against me
5.	Walk Down 03:54	lyrics	buy track
You are the guiding light that keeps me going You are the illusion that lives in my head You are the frozen encounter that turns me down In times of hunger hunger Then you walk down to the side of the crowd You remember to let go of pride You reach out for the ticking of time You walk down Down to the side of the crowd Jumping on a trampoline Human voices shouting across the stars You cry cause the music is the sound of the warmth The warmth you are missing inside In times of hunger hunger oooh ooooh
6.	We Will Never Be Friends 04:32	lyrics	buy track
Soft hands on my eyes Finger by finger, realize We will never be friends, never friends, never friends After all we’ve been through After all we have shared, realize We will never be friends, never friends, never friends And I salute us for trying in any way we could And I refuse to deny it, I was happy with you After the apple got bitten there was nothing we could do Acting like it never happened, wouldn’t bring us closer We will never be friends never friends never friends As I am sitting at my table where we last said goodbye I hear the horses running, I see our painting on the wall As you’ll be standing at your window looking right on the park Take a minute to be thankful. You know it’s better if we part
7.	Lost And Found 03:49	lyrics	buy track
Lost and Found Looking for Inner Ghosts
8.	Brave And Bold 03:21	lyrics	buy track
Five little emotions walk down the street Euphoria and fear go hand in hand, so do guilt and regret In their shadow trails jollily, naive and sweet Hope, our old friend, in the shape of a pet. Now I'm standing here with you, chaining our dreads Now I'm holding on to you as we're emptying our heads Now we're lifted up and shout with the thunder While around us the world breaks asunder Euphoria proclaims: I'll roll the dice you can hear fear whisper some opaque truth Guilt recites from the codex, in a monotonous voice while regret keeps on sobbing about the vanishing youth Now I'm standing here with you, chaining our dreads Now I'm holding on to you as we're emptying our heads Now we're lifted up and shout with the thunder While around us the world breaks asunder (He comes closer, I can feel the frozen shadow Be ready for the unseeable) Please let me hide in your arms Be the brave and bold
9.	I Love Her So 05:22	lyrics	buy track
Well my friend People are dancing and smiling in the sun It’s like water under the bridge When you smile Dangling feet from a window sill Will I reach the ground It’s like fire to which I am bound When you’re sad She wants a new beginning far away from here She doesn’t trust in time anymore to take away the grief She wants a new beginning but she doesn’t know That despite of her great sadness I love her so Little one The thought of leaving acts like a sunbeam on your face When will I ever learn to see the things That are happening right here right now When will I ever learn that I’m the only one Who will remember her She wants a new beginning far away from here She doesn’t trust in time anymore to take away the grief She wants a new beginning but she doesn’t know That despite of her great sadness I love her so
10.	The Land You Belong 04:00	lyrics	buy track
Your mouth is full of words, sounds no one will be able to hear Your head is full of hopes, fears no one will be able to heal Free is the one by choice, free is the animal or man by free will I will give you the chance to break these chains I will give you fire to light your candle You’ll fall asleep and I will rock your dreams I'll make a map to the land you belong You see danger from afar, there is nowhere you can hide Free is the one who dares to feel in the center of the battlefield I will give you the chance to break these chains I will give you fire to light your candle You’ll fall asleep and I will rock your dreams I'll make a map to the land you belong Breath in, breath out I will give you the chance to break these chains I will give you fire to light your candle I'll sing until the tears come running down Escape, escape to the land you belong I will give you the chance to break these chains I will give you fire to light your candle You fall asleep and I will rock your dreams I'll make a map to the land you belong
11.	Better Times 03:35	lyrics	buy track
I am here on the safest place on earth But still your melodies come to haunt me I wake up in this warm bed But still my fingers and my toes are frozen,… I can see the traces of your battlefield But I will step the other way I will walk towards loneliness I believe in better times ahead I believe in better times ahead The light reminds me of your hair The birds remind me of your name When I love and create your voice is in my head But the spell is breaking It’s breaking I can see the traces of your battlefield But I will step the other way I will walk towards loneliness I believe in better times ahead I believe in better times ahead I believe in better times I believe in better times,…
