Puzzles

So why do we still return
From the burden of life?
We have been kept in bound
With all the aching muscles
With no comfort to be found
And no friendly face around
We were just hanging out together
All buried by the hustle
Come on, go find some trouble
When the tides were formed to turn
In a cradle of lies
You were built to burn forever
And not to solve the puzzle
Then time after time
You'd be travelling through hell
From that grave you once have risen
Only to face the puzzle
Come on, go find some trouble
Fight the puzzle
Fight the puzzle
Come on, go find some trouble
Learn how to fight the puzzle

Avalon Heights
03:08
|
|
||
We almost tried to say goodbye
But off she went
And then the tears learned living
Was only learning how to die
And hardly ever changing sides
Teaching the infants how to cry
Oh, Avalon Heights
And there we go, so heavy
Out to a show that's deafening
Cause we all know we gotta run forever
We hurt each other in the light
So off she went
When her legs learned moving
Was only learning how to die
And hardly ever changing sides
Deep in the prison of mind
Who knows how dark is the night?
Oh, how dark is the night?
And there we go, so heavy
Out to a show that's deafening
Cause we all know we gotta run forever
And there we go, so heavy
Out to a show that's deafening
Cause we all know we gotta run forever
And there we go, so heavy
Out to a show that's deafening
Cause we all know we gotta run forever

This Love
02:22
|
|
||
I'm still a stranger to this town
One day the ocean spat me out
Became the ghost who wants your crown
Can I please have your scepter now?
I will keep it safe and sound
When will I learn to free myself from this love?
We have been hiding underground
Until the ocean spat us out
Forever waiting to be found
So can I have your scepter now?
I will keep it safe and sound
When will I learn to free myself from this love?
When will I learn to free myself from this love?
When will I learn to be myself and forget about you?
Will I ever learn to be myself and forget about you somehow?

Cherry Pie Cream Double
03:21
|
|
||
I've got my sins and you've got yours
But we can come together and join the shutlle
Let's make it double
A cherry pie cream double
We shall be diverse
Yes, we can reach the bubble
It's craftsmanship and brings only trouble
To the shuttle
A cherry pie cream double
Cause it's better, it's better
It's better to believe
It's better, it's better
Way better to join the shuttle
Oh, what a shuttle!
Such a large space shuttle
A cherry pie cream double
Cause it's better, it's better
It's better to believe
It's better, it's better
Way better to join the shuttle
Oh, what a shuttle!
Yes, we can reach the bubble
A cherry pie cream double
Yes, we can catch the shuttle
A cherry pie cream double

In Company of the Sirens
03:31
|
|

Hello, are you still waiting for me?
The war has come, the curtains fall
Give all your heart to the ones you're lovin
And lose your soul if the empire calls
Hello, hello - I'll never let you go
In the outland, I am dreaming of home
Deep in the bunkers
Buried by the mainland they hear a voice
And still they're screaming at their gods
Still they are stumbling in the field
Hello, hello – I'll never let you go
Hello, hello – They gonna let you know
It's shithole
Yeah, it's a pile of shit
I'm in a shithole
It's all in the grit
Hello, hello – I'll never let you go
Hello, hello – They gonna let you know

Black Coats
03:06
|
|
||
I was walking under red skies
When everyone got tired
I begged for a single clue
But you were sleeping tight
So still I miss you
They will mistreat you
No one shall love you
Like I do
I'll follow black coats hunting the lies
They gonna take you by surprise
I'll follow black coats hunting the lies
I was floating under red skies
Out of a dark night
Out of a sick life
We had to make a sacrifice
So still I miss you
They'll only hurt you
No one shall love you
Like I do
I'll follow black coats hunting the lies
They gonna take you by surprise
I'll follow black coats hunting the lies
I'll follow black coats hunting the lies
They gonna take you by surprise
I'll follow black coats hunting the lies

Kingdom of Mistrust
03:11
|
|
||
When I was boy, just a boy
I didn't know what was real
You were my bride, so devine
And you did know how to feel
Damn, we're lost
In the kingdom of mistrust
Slowly turning to dust
In the kingdom of mistrust
I had my toys, plastic toys
I didn't know what was real
You had a voice, had a choice
And you did know how to feel
Damn, we're lost
In the kingdom of mistrust
Slowly turning to dust
In the kingdom of mistrust
We got annoyed, so annoyed
With everything that is real
Building our home in the void
Once you did know how to feel
And damn, we're lost
In the kingdom of mistrust
Yes, die we must
In the kingdom of mistrust
Yes, die we must

In your arms the brave must shiver
And give in to the storm
The ghastly gift shall be delivered
To those who can't be warned
Your lipstick trace sleeps on my pillow
Your tricks can't be undone
The ghastly gift shall be delivered
To those who can't be warned
I need some poison and oh I need your loving
Just give me some poison and show me how to dance
Fearlessly on the battlements
The wind is rushing through the willows
The crows don't stand a chance
A ghastly gift shall be delivered
To those who cannot dance
I need some poison and oh I need your loving
Just give me some poison and show me how to dance
Fearlessly on the battlements
Oh, I need your loving
Just give me some poison and show me how to dance
Fearlessly on the battlements
Fearlessly on the battlements
On the battlements

Bad News
03:33
|
|
||
Form another bold world, my dysfunctional tongue
Oh come on, run into your own trap!
It has got to be done
You know it has to be done
I saw you walking down a thin line
You dared to rule out the sun
Bad news for the primetime
Where did it go wrong and what the hell have we done?
All the silhouettes are falling apart
And here it comes: the cold age of science
We must have had the greatest of times
Tell me what the hell have we done?
Tell me what the hell have we done?

The Passage
03:35
|
|

Darling, what have you done?
We are sailing nowhere
With no choice but to run
To fight the weather
I try to lay my arms around you
I try to bring your bones to bed
For the very last time, for the very last time
Don't get fooled by your heart
It's still a warm november
They are tearing us apart
Until you won't remember me
I try to lay my arms around you
I try to bring your bones to bed
For the very last time, for the very last time
I try to lay my arms around you
I try to bring your bones to bed
For the very last time, for the very last time

Hideout
02:49
|

This place looks quite familar
But they don't have the time
To settle down in your wastelands
If there's no one else around
But you need someone who pulls you through the nights
And you need someone who brings you home alive
Someone's always waiting there for someone to arrive
Someone's always waiting there for someone to arrive
The giants were born to shimmer
Their heads rest in the skies
While you're running out of water
You are running out of time
And you need someone who pulls you through the nights
And you need someone who brings you home alive
Someone's always waiting there for someone to arrive
Someone's always waiting there for someone to arrive

Finishing Move

Break the spell!
You know you've got to teach her well
She escaped from a foreign school
Fled into your room
There's a monitoring moon tonight
Life is hell
If people ain't what they tell
And everytime you hear them talk
Get safe, go out for a walk
There's a monitoring moon tonight
Allow yourself a finishing move
Allow yourself a finishing move
Break the spell!
You know you've got to treat her well
She was raised in a foreign school
Get rid of your gloom
There's a monitoring moon tonight
There's a monitoring moon tonight
There's a monitoring moon tonight
There's a monitoring moon tonight.
