1. WITHOUT YOU
I arrived to an empty house,
I arrived to an empty house,
with an empty heart.
I didn't know, what to do, without you.
So I walked across the empty town,
So I walked across the empty town,
up your empty stairs.
And with a knock on your door, came silence.
Without you my heart is quiet.
Without you my heart is quiet.
Without you my days grow long.
I don't seem to get the point,
without you.
So I entered the empty crowd,
So I entered the empty crowd,
looking for my smile,
but I don't know, who I am, without you.
Without you my heart is quiet.
Without you my heart is quiet.
Without you my days grow long.
I don't seem to get the point,
without you.
Now I'm sitting behind the wheel.
Now I'm sitting behind the wheel.
Time is standing still
and I will go just as far, as to where you are.
Yes I will go just as far, as to where you are
Without you my heart is quiet.
Without you my heart is quiet.
Without you my days grow long.
I don't seem to get the point.
Without you my heart is quiet.
Without you my days grow long.
To me there is no point,
Without you my heart is quiet.
Without you my days grow long.
To me there is no point,
without you.
2. SURRENDER MY SOUL
I am so tired of people, telling me, what to do.
I am so tired of people, telling me, who I am.
2. SURRENDER MY SOUL
I am so tired of people, telling me, what to do.
I am so tired of people, telling me, who I am.
I am so tired of people, telling me, how to act.
I am so tired of people, well in fact.
I am so tired of people simply.
I am so tired of people simply.
So tired of people simply.
I've had enough of thinking way to much.
I am so tired of getting angry, all the time.
Had enough of reacting, so now I'm...
I'm gonna lay my self down, let my spirit dance into the sky.
I will surrender my soul and fuck without goal, like the gods,
like the gods do.
I am so tired of fashion, feeding us with needs.
Fed up with this culture, based on greed.
I've had enough of my ego, for joining in.
I've had enough, I´m full up, I, I´ve got to give in.
I've had enough of humans simply.
Enough of the whole society...
I'm gonna lay myself down, let my spirit dance into the sky.
I will surrender my soul and fuck without goal,
like the gods.
Like the gods do,
Like the gods do,
surrender my soul,
the gods do,
surrender my soul.
I'm gonna lay myself down, let my spirit dance into the sky.
I'm gonna lay myself down, let my spirit dance into the sky.
I will surrender my soul and fuck without goal,
like the gods.
The gods do,
The gods do,
surrender my soul,
the gods do,
surrender my soul.
The gods do.
3. LET ME COLLECT YOU
Take those broken fallen hands, caress them,
3. LET ME COLLECT YOU
Take those broken fallen hands, caress them,
give them strength to touch and hold on.
They used to be creative.
Find two legs and wake them up, support them,
Find two legs and wake them up, support them,
'til they the find the will to carry.
They need to bring it home now.
As I've always done it, and I do it,
As I've always done it, and I do it,
I will always do it for you.
This I can assure you.
You fell into the pitch black, headfirst.
You fell into the pitch black, headfirst.
You hit the bottom headfirst, rock hard.
Beaten and shattered and scattered around.
I will collect you a bit at the time.
Your weakness has become my strength
Your weakness has become my strength
for every time you fall I feel I'm needed.
It gives my life a meaning.
As I've always done it, and I do it,
As I've always done it, and I do it,
I will always do it for you.
Because I do adore you.
You fell into the pitch black, headfirst.
You fell into the pitch black, headfirst.
You hit the bottom headfirst, rock hard.
Beaten and shattered and scattered around.
I will collect you a bit at the time.
Will you love me this time around? Will you love me if i catch you?
Will you love me this time around? Will you love me if i catch you?
Will you love me this time around? Will you love me if i catch you?
You fell into the pitch black, headfirst.

Will you love me this time around? Will you love me if I catch you?
4. A FEW FEET UNDER
I had a mind, and you made me lose it.
4. A FEW FEET UNDER
I had a mind, and you made me lose it.
Opinions I had, they where faded out.
Left my own home and the people i knew.
I had a life and I gave it to you.
You became king and I became queen.
Went to a world I had never seen.
Somewhere in there you told me my plan.
Thank you my darling for taking care.
Needed a method to fulfill the plot.
I held the rope as you tied the knot.
I hesitated to jump but you gave me a push.
This is our secret my love hush hush hush.
All alone who can hurt me? All alone who can leave me?
Some grams lighter, a few feet under.
It is a lot more quiet here. It is a lot more peaceful here.

5. KEEP ON MOVING
Swinging my arms down the street, I am walking, walking again.
Left my own home and the people i knew.

5. KEEP ON MOVING
Swinging my arms down the street, I am walking, walking again.
Feeling the ground beneath my feet, I am running, running.
I´m gonna keep on moving, until the day I die.
Keep a moving mind.
Held by the sea weightlessly, I am swimming, swimming again.
Holding my breath, with strength and ease, I am swimming, swimming.
I´m gonna keep on floating, until the day i die.
Keep a floating mind.
Tapping my feet across the street, I am swinging.
Feeling the rhythm and the beat, I am dancing again.
I´m gonna keep on dancing, until the day I die.
I´m gonna keep on dancing, until the day I die.
Keep a dancing mind.
I´m gonna keep on moving, until the day I die.
I´m gonna keep on moving, until the day I die.
Keep a moving mind.
6. DON'T YOU KNOW
Don't you know, it's my time to grow.
6. DON'T YOU KNOW
Don't you know, it's my time to grow.
Don't you know, it's my turn to glow.
Please don't steal the show.
Please don't steal the show.
When I fall, don't catch me, don't hold me.
When I fall, don't catch me. don't hold me.
Just let me go, I will be alright, if you let me try.
Can't you see, there is nothing left of me.
Can't you see, I don't need you to agree.
On the count of three.
On the count of three.
When I fall, don't catch me, don't hold me.
When I fall, don't catch me. don't hold me.
Just let me go, I will be alright, if you let me try.
Don't catch me. don't hold me back this time.
Don't hold me back this time.
Don't hold me back this time.
I will land with my feet firmly on the ground.
7. SIMPLY LOVE
You no longer drag your feet behind.
8. HIDE AND SEEK
7. SIMPLY LOVE
You no longer drag your feet behind.
I don't recieve your midnight phonecalls, no more.
And when I ask you what is going on
you say simply love.
You come around more seldom now
and when I see you, you are lightheaded, high headed,
lost in your dream-state of mind.
And when I ask you what is going on
you say simply love.
You say simply love.
8. HIDE AND SEEK
Let's play hide and seek. We can meet up in the old oak tree,
where they can't find us, where they can't find us.
Watch them from above, continue to the highest branch,
where they can't find us, where they can't find us
Hiding together you and I.
Playing the same game you and I.
And what a beautiful attitude,
beautiful attitude, beautiful attitude you have.
And what a beautiful mind, beautiful mind,
beautiful mind you have.
Let's play a game of tag. Side by side we're taking off,
they can not catch us, they can not catch us.
Loosing track of time. Flying over unknown grounds,
they can not catch us, they can not catch us.
Run at the same speed you and I.
Playing the same game you and I.
And what a beautiful attitude,
beautiful attitude, beautiful attitude you have.
And what a beautiful mind, beautiful mind,
beautiful mind you have.
You make me happy very time I see you,
Still you put a smile on my face.
You make me laugh every time I see you still.
We played hide and seek. Hid up in the old oak tree,
they never found us, they never found us.
Carveing our names into the tree,
and that best friends forever we would be.
And what a beautiful attitude,
beautiful attitude, beautiful attitude you have.
And what a beautiful mind, beautiful mind,
beautiful mind you have
Mjau, mjau mjau. Mjau mjau mjau.
Mjau mjau mjau mjau mjau :)
9. ADDICTION
You have done our fathers in.
You've done our sisters wrong.
I've got you here beside me
as I'm writing you this song.
And even though I know
I really don't need you.
I find no other way
than begging you to stay.
For relief in you we trust.
Rely on you in vain.
We give you passion, we give you lust.
You give only and nothing but pain.
And even though we know
we really don't need you.
We find no other way
than begging you to stay.
And even though we know
we really don't need you.
We find no other way
than begging you to stay.
10. DEEP DARK BLUE
You will go down to the ocean tonight.
You will go down, down, down.
Wade into the water tonight
as you close your eyes.
In the deepest blue all your dreams come true.
In the deep dark blue you will dive into
your most precious fragile wish.
In the deep dark blue you will swim next to
all of those you once did loose.
There is a fire burning onshore,
fed by all your thoughts.
Your demons are waiting in line.
You have to face them one by one.
But on the other side, you will ease your mind.
In the deep dark blue you will dive into
your most precious fragile wish.
In the deep dark blue you will swim next to
all of those you once did loose
But through the fire I walk with you.
Through the fire I stand by your side.
No I will never leave you, I.
I will never leave you, I.
I will never leave you.
No I will never leave you,
you, you.
I will never leave you.
No I will never leave you.
I will never leave you, I.
No i will never leave you.
Through the fire I walk with you.
Through the fire I walk with you.
Through the fire I stand by your side.
I will never leave you, I.
No I will never leave you.
In the deep dark blue I will promise you, that I won't be one of them.
