Cowboys
All Mine
Undenied
Half Day Closing
Over
Humming
Mourning Air
Seven Months
Only You
Elysium
Western eyes

 
Cowboys
 
Did you sweep us far from your feet
Reset in stone the stark belief
Salted eyes and a sordid dye,
Too many years.

But don't despair,
This day will be the damnedest day,
Oh, if you take these things from me.

Did you feed us tales of deceit
Conceal the tongues who need to speak?
Subtle lies and a siourd queen,
The truth is sold, The deal is done.

But don't despair,
This day will be the damnedest day,
Oh, if you take these things from me.

Undefined, no signs of regret,
Your swollen pride assumes respect,
Talons fly as a last disguise,
But no return, the time has come.

So don't despair,
And this day will be the damnedest day,
Oh, if you take these things from me.
Oh, if you take these things from me.
 
 

All mine
 
All the stars may shine a bright
All the clouds may be blind
But when you smile
Oh how I feel so good
But I can hardly wait to hold you
And fold you never enough, render your heart to me
All mine
You'll have to be

From that cloud, number nine
Angel stars shall decline
And such sad regret
Oh as those starry skies
As they swiftly fall
Make no mistake
You shan't escape
Tethered and tied
There's nowhere to hide from me
All mine
You'll have to be

So don't resist, we shall exist
Until the day, until the day, I die
All mine
You'll have to be
 
 

Undenied
 
You're softly spoken words
Release my own desire
Undenied, told to me
And so bare is my heart
I can't hide
Then so where does my heart
Belong

Release your tender touch
My senses can't deny
Oh so strong, my desire
For so bare is my heart
I can't hide
Then so where does my heart
Belong

Now that I found you
And seen behind those eyes
How can I carry on
For so bare is my heart
I can't hide
And so where does my home
Belong, belong
Belong, belong
 
 

Half day closing
 
In the days, the golden days,
When everybody knew what they wanted
That ain't here today

Through the times of last and low
And stop the things trying the past day
They don't feel the same

Dreams, so believe they come
Time, life it self goes on

From beyond the shoupion skies
The money talks and leaves us hypnotized
Don't pay the way

Underneath the fading sun
The silent song of a business man
Has left us choking

Dreams, so believe they come
Time, life it self goes on

In the days, the golden days,
When everybody knew what they wanted
It ain't here today

Dreams, I believe they've gone
Time, life it self goes on
 
 

Over
 
I can't hold this state anymore,
Understand me anymore,
To tread this fantasy, openly,
What have I done?
Oh, this uncertainty
Is taking me over

I can't mold this state anymore,
Recognize me anymore,
To tread this fantasy, openly,
What have I done?
Oh, this uncertainty
Is taking me over X2

To tread this fantasy, openly,
What have I done?
Oh, this uncertainty
Is taking me over X3
Oh It's all over, yeah,
Oh It's all over, yeah, oh oh oh.
 
 

Humming
 
Closer, no hesitation
Give me all that you have,
And it's been so long,
That I can't explain
And it's been so long,
Right now so wrong

Naked
My thoughts are creeping
Too late
The show has begun
'Cause it's been so long
That I can't confess
And it's been so long
Right now so wrong

Is it all as it seems
So unresolved, so unready
If I remain how will I know ?

'Cause it's been so long
That I can't be sure
And it's been so wrong,
Right now, so wrong.
 
 

Mourning air
 
Did I see a moment with you,
In a half lit world,
I'm frightened to believe,
But I must try
If I stumble, if I fall,
I'm reaching out in this mourning air.

Have I got the strength to ask?
Beyond the window,
I feel this fear alone,
Until we have,
Taunted on steel
If I tremble or fall,
I'm reaching out in this mourning air

Should I fear the moment with you?
To softly whisper,
I crave nothing else so much,
Longing to reveal
Taunted on a steel I can feel your touch
I'm reaching out in this mourning air
I'm reaching out in this mourning air
 
 

Seven months
 
How can I forget you
Disregard how I feel
Silently listen
To the words I can't see

As long as I have tried
As low as I can be
I will never resign myself
From a trial I see

Why should I forgive you
After all that I've seen
Quietly whisper
When my heart wants to scream

But as long as I have tried
And as low as I can be
I will never resign myself
From a trial I see

There's no time to rest
Or to reconsider
For this cruel unsafe
Won't conceive

For as long as I have tried
And as low as I can be
I will never resign myself
From a trial I see
 
 

Only you
 
We suffer everyday
What is it for
These crams of illusion
Are fooling us all
And now I am wearie
And I feel like I do

It's only you
Who can tell me apart
And it's only you
Who can turn my wooden heart

The size of our fight
It's just a dream
We've crushed everything
I can't see in this morning selfishly
How we fell
And I feel like I do

It's only you
Who can tell me apart
And it's only you
Who can turn my wooden heart

Now that we've chosen to take all we can
The shade of autumn will stare bitter end
Years of frustration laid down side by side

And It's only you
Who can tell me apart
And it's only you
Who can turn my wooden heart

It's only you
Who can tell me apart
And it's only you
Who can turn my wooden heart
 
 

Elysium
 
No one has said what the truth should be
I know undecided that I feel this way
If you feel desire
Would you betray yourself

But you can't deny how I feel
And you can't decide for me

No one should fear what they cannot see
I know once to blame it's just hypocrisy
It's written in your eyes,
And how I despise myself

But you can't deny how I feel
And you can't decide for me

And it's your heart
That's so wrong
Mistaken, you'll never know
You're feathered secret say

But you can't deny how I feel
And you can't decide for me

And you can't deny how I feel
Oh why should you decide for me
 
 

Western eyes
 
Forgotten throws at anothers lie
The heart of love is our own deny
Faithless creeds consolidating
Holding down sweet charity

With western eyes and serpent's breath
We lay our own conscious to rest

But I'll make it
At the view
Yes I'm breaking
At the seams just like you

They have valley's of a certainty
The innocent they can't hide away
To crucify infolidating
Turn into this honesty

With western eyes and serpent's breath
They lay there own conscious to rest
But then they lie and then they dare to be
Hidden heroes chandeliers

So I'll make it
At the view
Yes I'm breaking
At the seams just like you

I feel so cold
On hookers and gin
This mess we're in
