Empty streets are humming softly
like a Silent symphony
I sing along as I lie here
Cause it's my own melody
I'm breaking through the silence
I'm peeking through the dark
I'll never need no guidance
Now it's time to light the spark
Dusty clouds fill the alley
as the city comes to life
The first rays from the new sun
cuts right through it like a knife
I'm howling through the silence
Setting fire to the dark
Now it's time to end the violence
Now it's time to light the spark
I hear the sounds of distant laughter
as I'm lying here alone
And though the world keeps spinning faster
I am safe now, I am home
I’ll recover from the tension
I’ll recover from the pain
I will rise up from the ashes
Like a phoenix from the flames

Hall of Shame

The bar was lowered
She hit it straight
Opened a new tab
But closed it too late
A match made in heaven
Was played out in hell
The outcome was given
She knew it too well
Bridges crossed but never burned
Lessons taught but never learned
Bleeding hearts and blown-ut flames
Side by side in the hall of shame
She lost her grip
Her face as well
Love turned its back on her
As she slowly fell
The descent was indecent
they usually are
But from the gutter
She saw the stars
Bridges crossed but never burned
Lessons taught but never learned
Blurry faces, forgotten names
Who is who in the hall of shame
Bridges crossed but never burned
Lessons taught but never learned
Broken glass and mascara trails
Side by side in the hall of shame
Queen of romance lost her crown
Fucking up and breaking down
Who's to judge and who's to blame
Quarter to three, it’s a new inductee
in the hall of shame

Can you feel the change?
Time to rearrange
The old words on a new page
A chance for me and you
To finally get a clue
No shelter from the wind
A storm is coming in
We'd better look ahead
Start burying our dead
Put our heads out of the clouds
The future's here and now
Could you guide us home?
Lead us to our own
Abandon where we came from
Would you take control
When distance takes its toll
Steer us through the waves
And a thousand rainy days
The skies all painted black
Still carried on your back
The children of today
So they can find a way
A way to find the lifeline
A way out in the sunshine
A way across the border
A way to part the water
A leader of distinction
To avoid extinction
There is a new day dawning
This is the final warning

He comes around
Without a sound
The air is passing through
No suggestions
Asking questions
There's no answer to
Soon the walls are
coming closer
Candles blowing out
Rising higher
Fumes and fire
Without smoke somehow
Always feels that someone’s coming after me
Never seem to find a cure for this anxiety
Every day it stays the same, I fear tomorrow’s call
Would be better if it never came at all
A full eclipse
The magma drips
A thousand centigrades
Darkness falls
Through these walls
While I disintegrate
Hear him screaming
My own demon
As I slowly melt
I cannot win
It's all within
Cannot Escape myself
Always feels that someone’s coming after me
Never seem to find a cure for this anxiety
Every day it stays the same, I fear tomorrow’s call
Would be better if it never came at all
I'm in the corner
Waiting for the
Final line to fall
The parasite
Just one last bite
The one to end it all
Always feels that someone’s coming after me
Never seem to find a way out of this misery
Every day I stay the same, I fear tomorrow’s call
Would be better if it never came at all
