Closer 03:16
I'll touch the angels tonight Days pass still our hearts remain thrilled There's nothing left when you start coping with fear My mind's like a bullet and I'm feeling closer and closer I'll come and get it You know I need it Come and get it You know you need it I wanna touch the air around I wanna feel the shock and the bleeding I'm not insane I know what I'm screaming for My heart's like a razor and I'm feeling closer and closer I'll come and get it You know I need it Come and get it You know you need it I wanna feel the fire and life I wanna see the fire tonight Cause I will fall if you don't help me out, but if you do then I won't make it x2

You now make me see What I need to believe You now make me feel My love is real The rain pours down my face And I lose the ground beneath my feet It is all around me baby All your sensations are here and with me The sky is falling And the show is calling And so well I wander And I ponder Will this road get me home I'm in the interzone Day is soon and I'm running scared Cause I failed to mark my true intent What should I do now baby Can you please, please help me The sky is falling And the show is calling I'll follow you back home Love is a setting sun I'll share the night with you, with you
3.
I feel a hundred Though quarter old skin Wandering away a no mans kin Dead queen ruling Once proud lovers Heads are turning And I fear Time And we have yet To count the bodies baby As widowed are hearts As empty our trail Dusk still dawns your face We have yet to see Our true colors A kind ending violence plays And we have yet To count the bodies baby As widowed are hearts As empty our trail Dusk still dawns your face And I still wonder, when I hold you tight Where you lay your bones for the night And I can still remember, when I held you tight Where you laid your bones for the night

Modern Times 05:20
I'll take the good old days I'll take that fire and restore my faith Standing on this memory lane I"ll find the strength we left and single it out Dont fear, sun's here It's like the edge of the knife It's a view to kill Just close your eyes and follow The modern times I'll take the good old days Through all these years Travelling far and wide Coming down through wondrous fields I've seen Forgiveness I've seen loss Don't lose the heart and soul Don't fear, sun's here It's like the edge of the knife It's a view to kill Just close your eyes and follow The modern times

Found Here 03:17
In the darkest hour I feel the warmth But that shortest road still feels too long Trying to reach it but my hands are tied By nerves and feelings that just come on by (They say) Best to stay inside where no one flies Best to stay inside where no one Lies This time I feel my eager soul This time we can't go wrong Love for it Keeps me holding on On and on Darkness take me you're my leap of faith You leave me breathless as I go on In this cloud that blurs dreams and desires It's a new haven for the lost I'm found here x3 You're here This time I feel my eager soul This time we can't go wrong Love for it Keeps me holding on On and on

After Hours 04:02
I see your eyes now inviting me in In through the looking glass I fall Now my mind is a freeland it's a sonic ride One glance and it's a high speed chase I'm all out of love I'm all out of love, out of feelings I'm all out of love I'm all out of love, can you feel it? I need to go where love grows Can't you see I'm in the cold now darling? Cause right now my mind is slow I love the place it leaves me lying I dont know who I am anymore I'm on the edge of falling for you honey In the end it's just the romance of the streets I'm in and I ain't got no aces up my sleeve Will I say what I want to say? You run, you run but you can't hide You run, you run but you can't hide From yourself I'm all out of love I'm all out of love, out of feelings I'm all out of love I'm all out of love, can you feel it? It's just a shot in the dark But on these night hours Don't run cause you can't hide Don't run cause you can't hide
7.
I wrap the night around you Feeling the shiver in my guts Trying to fall asleep With you next to me, I am hollow But still I've followed you Tonight my stranger Let's walk the streets of silence Tonight my lover We'll pretend we were never here I wraped my lust around you My love of lies surrounds me As the evening falls I'm trying not to feel love even more And so I follow you Tonight my stranger Let's walk the streets of silence Tonight my lover We'll pretend we were always here I'm still searching for my home Behind the edges of your eyes I'm still searching on my own Behind the shimmering lights

In Lines 03:50
From Here on now I'm only breathing You by my Side I am seeing In this time My faith is healing See you in The Dreams inside my head One night Last time One sign Last time Lost in lines Like those forgotten times We were free Like words we'd always fear Now are you Finally seeing Me in the Dreams inside your head After dark my sweet I don't need a way from here Will you finally hear All the secrets of the world I fear One night Last time One sign Last time
9.
How many times can you bleed Through How many Doors can you flee When the silence succeeds Under the ruins love unveils Underneath the time You can find My intentions undefined My intentions unidentified If I were to say I was gonna leave you And if the words, the words are gonna bleed you How many times can you fall so low When everything's broken your sigh lifts me up Underneath the time You can find My intention undefined My intentions unidentified
10.
Are you feeling alone Can you see the lights in the back room Are you all by yourself Close the curtains behind and come on in Can I guide you home I'll drive you through this pitch black screen And should I pretend I am leaning on the edge of forever Now it all comes crashing, it's gonna blow you away If it keeps coming don't just run away My heart is pounding It's all in motion I'm being cornered in this place of dirt In the dark streets below I lost the vital piece I'm being cornered in this city of dirt Check mate the game is over Still I wont crawl in need I will find my way Inside the viper room Are you feeling alone now darling Are you feeling alone Now it all comes crashing it's gonna blow you away If it keeps coming don't just run away My heart is pounding It's all emotion I'm being cornered in this place of dirt In the dark streets below I lost the vital piece I'm being cornered in this city of dirt Check mate the game is over Still I won't crawl in need I will find my way Inside the viper room
11.
Riptide 07:29
Now I see the world turning And I see the days just fly on by Are we Running out of time to say? Are we Running out of dice to play? Once I saw the night dance Well I smiled with faith Neon hearts painted the city life We walked through life on high skies The blood rush The clothes all black The pictures won't hold the times we had Shattered glass and broken hearts One-time loves and a kiss in the dark The jazzhouse, the nightlife We will change but memories will stay And those people, those people won't fade Riptide's coming
12.
Autumn City 03:36
The rain and the sea shape who we are Music keeps us going and we are lightly flowing by With those times and sounds that shape on our future Words used to mean more before They faded away somehow We're living so fast now Slowly losing parts of who we are It's five in the morning I am riding in my car Radio fills the silence for the lonely that pass us by Music keeps us going and we are lightly flowing by Words used to mean more before They faded away somehow But always from those rooftops I'll see The rain falling on our secret garden On those autumn city nights we will live forever We are here to stay and for a while now we are free
