Rubies & Blood
We’re walking through the city
drinking red wine the color of rubies and blood
One of those endless summer nights
covered in the smell of flowers and rot
We end up in streets who’s existence I’d forgot
Heartbeats in the night
We’re falling through the white
Heartbeats in the night
Your eyes in the fledgeling moonlight
We’re loosing track of time while the darkness slowly falls
The flickering shadows invite our thoughts to dance with them on the walls
Heartbeats in the night
We’re falling through the white
Heartbeats in the night
Your eyes in the fledgeling moonlight
I wonder what you see
when you look at me..
Some girl torn between the city and the sea..
Rubies and blood
Streets I’d forgot
Rubies and blood
Streets I’d forgot

Strayed Ashes
Desires and ashes
I can’t help being hypnotised by you and your eyelashes
You are one of those who burn, burn, burn
till they explode
I’m drawn to the flames and ready to hit the road
You burn, burn, burn till you explode
Strayed ashes falling on my coat
We disappear into the night
while the Earth circles around the sun
Some truths we only see in the corners of our eyes
Let’s dance like lovers in an old black and white movie till sunrise
till sunrise
till sunrise
till sunrise
You burn, burn, burn till you explode
Strayed ashes falling on my coat
We burn, burn, burn till we explode
Strayed ashes falling on my coat

Wires Cut Through The Sky
Autumn raindrops sliding down dying leaves
Looks like they are keeping little secrets
It’s easier to breathe after the rain
But she still feels like she’s falling from an airplane
Dissolving clouds slowly drifting by
Her eyes follow the wires that cut through the sky
That perfect moment right before the raindrops hit the ground
and disappear into the dirt without a sound
Walking through the falling dark
She follows the wires across the city, all the way to the park
A consistent feeling of unease
She wants to bury something in the mud beneath the dripping trees
That perfect moment right before the raindrops hit the ground
and disappear into the mud without a sound

Tiny Pieces Of Broken Glass
The tiny pieces of broken glass
shine like lost stars on earth
We follow their trail through the streets, not knowing where it leads
I want this night to last for ever
Uuh I think she’s falling in love with you
But when morning comes we might evaporate like the dew
Tomorrow is waiting just below the horizon
We need to find a place to hide
Can we make it to your hotel before night and day collide?
Pull down the blinds and avoid the sunlight
Uuh I think she’s falling in love with you
But when morning comes we might evaporate like the dew
Drunk to the bones, scared of the sunrise
I recognize the restlessness in your eyes
Always wanting more, just like me
Longing for something that might never be

When Massive Stars Explode
If you follow the river to the sea
That’s where I will be
Waiting for you under the stars
The waves will tell you where to find me
Did you know that black holes occur when massive stars explode?
what will happen to us when we reach the end of the road…?
I guess we all just wanna love and be loved
Love and be loved
Nothing, not even light, can escape the pull of gravity from a black hole
I like the way the lines in your face reveal some of your soul
I guess we all just wanna love and be loved
Love and be loved
I love that they’re so beautifully complicated and far from understood
They make us wonder, at least I think they should..
I guess we all just wanna love and be loved
Love and be loved

Fireflies
The ash from the fire falls like dead fireflies on your sweater
I don't think burning down houses will make you feel any better
Don’t you think it’s time to let it go?
You add more fuel to the flames
Smiling when the glass breaks in the window frames
You feel betrayed, I know
But don't you think it is time to let it go?
Don’t you think it’s time to let it go?

I’m Not Always Sure The World Is A Place For Me
I’m not always sure the world is a place for me
But how beautiful it can be
with all its frantic chaos and fragile stillness
Do you like my new black dress?
Tonight I’m ready to get lost
between the fierce dark hungers and drunken souls in the midnight streets
Dancing among those that some would call the bad seeds
I love this city to death
Though it’s like a vulture waiting to pick our bones
while we disappear down alleys paved with cobblestones
Tomorrow I’ll go for a walk in the white winter forest
and whisper secrets to the branches bowed with shining icicles
My breath will leave silent trails in the cold
while the afternoon is waiting to unfold
I love this city to death
Though it’s like a vulture waiting to pick our bones
while we disappear down alleys paved with cobblestones
I’m not always sure the world is a place for me

I Can't Stay Around

I Can’t Stay Around
I want a new pair of shoes
with really high heels
I'm not one of those girls who walks like a goose
when she wears high heeled shoes
I'll paint my nails red
and my eyes black
Then I'll start walking
and I won't look back
I've decided to leave the burning building
before the last tile hits the ground
and the vultures start to hound
I just can't stay around..
Till the last tile hits the ground
I don't know where I'm off to
But I can't stay around
I'll walk away in my new shoes
cause I can't stay around
I just can't stay around..
Till the last tile hits the ground

Forty Two Tiny Secrets
03:05
|

Did you know that your eyes get their blue color
because they reflect the light
in the same way as the sea and the sky?
Sometimes the edges of the universe appear to be incredibly close by
Forty two tiny secrets written on the wings of a butterfly
My love will always follow you
Just think of me when you walk home
through the city’s parks in the morning dew
Remember when we were catching each other’s shadows
until the sun disappeared into the sea behind the wildflower meadows?
My love will always follow you
Just think of me when you walk barefoot
through the forest in the morning dew
There are chapters
that I would like to keep unpublished
But when you smile like that
my heart feels almost as light as a butterfly
My love will always follow you
Just think of me when you walk home through the morning dew
Through the morning dew
Through the morning dew
