1. THE MORNING AFTER

This morning was a hell of a day
Didn't know just where to start
This morning was a hell of a day
I thought I'd fall apart
Couldn't face you to face me
Couldn't face anyone else
I needed to hide myself
Behind the books on the shelf

I'm looking for you
To help me through
I'm looking for you
To show me what to do

I needed a guiding hand
From someone who is true
Lets open a window
Just look at that view
That's when I jumped out of bed
Just couldn't find my head
That's when I jumped out of bed
Would've rather stayed instead

I'm looking for you
To help me through
I'm looking for you
To show me what to do

I wish I hadn't woke up
Couldn't think of what to do
I can see this is not my day
This time I know I'm through
Sit back and just relax
Take time to contemplate
Don't start to start your day
You know it's much to late

You feel it's cold out there
Why should you really care
Don't fret your life away
Tomorrow's just another day


2. MILES AWAY

You wanted to talk to me, but I couldn't hear
There's things you wanted to say,
But I wouldn't understand
I'm blind to the things that go on in your mind
My mind is blind to the pains of the heart

There's a wall between you and me in thin air
I look right through you as if you're not even there
A sad situation, an individual affair
A burden in my life and I don't think it's fair

I'm miles away
From you today

You're trying just too hard to get to know me
But I'm telling you,
You're not getting through.
It's not your fault and it's not even mine
Another time or another day it could be fine.

Can you picture the future or remember the past
Life is so short we grow so old so fast,
You've got the right idea but the wrong approach
I'm not your jewel, a pendant or a broach

I'm miles away
From you today

There's a wall between you and me in thin air
I look right through you as if you're not even there
A sad situation, an individual affair
A burden in my life and I don't think it's fair

Can you picture the future or remember the past
Life is so short we grow so old so fast,
You've got the right idea but the wrong approach
I'm not your jewel, a pendant or a broach

I'm miles away
From you today


3. TORN

If I tried to show my world to you
I'd destroy yours
I'd make you cry.
I feed a rising urge to do so,
But I
Don't want to hurt you

You blindly trust in others words
Without a doubt
To keep this world of beautiful illusions
And everything all right

In your perfect little world
You're truly happy,
Always careful, always considerate
Oh, you behave so well

Sometimes you're disguising me,
I want to scream and shout
Reality straight in your face
Want to cause you pain,
Tear down your seventh heaven

But looking at you now,
I know I'll keep these thoughts,
As thoughts not words,
Because I love you...

In your perfect little world
You're truly happy,
Always careful, always considerate
Oh, you behave so well


4. DESIRE AND RUIN

Guess I remember this soul
I recognize through these eyes
And I desire the touch
That makes me feel like at home

I know the taste of your skin
Need the heat of your touch
Oh, I desire the touch
That makes me feel not alone

Sometimes I believe to scent you
To feel your tender lips
There's nothing I can do about
You're always on my mind

You're my desire
And you're my ruin
That kind of desire
That's eternally unfulfilled

Yes I remember your soul
And I remember your touch
There's nothing I can do about
These memories of a life
Long passed by

You're my desire
And you're my ruin
You're some kind of desire
That's eternally unfulfilled...


5. I HATE FALLING IN LOVE

All those cunning bitches
Spellcasting witches
Strip me down to the core
Twisted little cuties
Coldhearted beauties
These are the women I am falling for
They are what I'm dreaming of
That's why I hate
Falling in love

All those drama queens
And gorgeous teens
Pretending it's time to get laid
Lovley lolitas
And faded stars
I tip my hat to their parade
They are what I'm dreaming of
That's why I hate
Falling in love

All those pinup girls
With golden curls
Armed with razorblade smiles
And the wicked whores
Everyone adores
And stops by just for a while
They are what I'm dying for
A threat one can hardly ignore
A nightmare you can't stop dreaming of
I hate
Falling in love


6. VIOLETS FOR A DEAD GIRL

'Don't stray from the path', the good people say
Well she never did but in a grove she lay
The snow it was falling as a stranger passed by
And gazed right into her lifeless little eyes

'There was something about her', the good people say
Rumors start spreading, once started, they'll stay
'She went with the wolves', a whisper goes round
Her skin was ripped and torn the night she was found

And on her bare breast a frozen flower lay
'It was a violet', that's what people say

Violets were your favorite flowers
You always smiled when I gave them to you
Now I stand at your grave, trembling for hours
My numb hands clutch at frozen flowers
But flowers won't do
No more smile comes from you

She was that kind of woman man loves to adore
But her tender kisses left me longing for more
I tried to be humble the best that I can
But there's a wolf hiding in every man

It lays there waiting and when the time's right
Love turns to hunger in a dark grove at night
What difference does it make if you run, scream or cry
When a wolf has scented the blood all that's left is to die

Even if I placed a violet into a cold hand
Some things had to happen, there's no way to pretend

Violets were your favorite flowers
You always smiled when I gave them to you
Now I stand at your grave shaking for hours
My numb hands clutch at frozen flowers

Violets were your favorite flowers
You always smiled when I gave them to to you
Now I stand at your grave and grief devours
What's left of my soul and frozen flowers
These flowers won't do
There's no more smile coming from you


7. MOONCHILD

See the stars
Feel the wind that blows
Listen to the
Trees wisdom

She's my precious
My moonchild

Take a breath
Feel the energy within
Listen to the
Symphony of life

She's my precious
My moonchild

Mighty mother
Lay your arms around this child
My moonchild
And let her dream
Let her sleep becalmed

She's my precious
My moonchild

Sleep becalmed
Feel the warmth around you
Listen to the
Earths heart beat

She's my precious
My moonchild


8. SLEEP, SWEET SLEEP

Woke up in the morning and she was gone
Finally she'd found another one
Someone who'd listen and who'd understand
My woman's mind and needs

Maybe I was kind
Of ignorant and blind
Maybe I just didn't want to know,
Didn't care
...And I drank myself to

Sleep, sweet sleep,
Come on over me,
Come all over me,
And wash away the pain
Of these darkened days

Then I lost my job, my house and my car
Got hurt as I've never been hurt so far
I was down as a man can be
On the edge of our society

Maybe I was kind
Of ignorant and blind
Maybe I just didn't want to know,
Didn't care
...And I drank myself to

So I met up with the guys at another bar
Where we drink to remember and drink to forget
The good life and the cruelty of it
Trying to deal with what's left of it...

Maybe I was kind
Of ignorant and blind
Maybe I just didn't want to know,
Didn't care
...And I drank myself to


9. AMORUS

A magical lady crossing my path,
Driving me mindless and half brained again,
Jammed by desires and weaknesses.
Unknowingly she touched the vent...

Oh god, it's such a shame
I'm losing control and then
Turning into a total jerk again

Being pretentious
And acting foolish
Being awkward
And acting childish...
A stupid old man
Radicalising himself
The best that I can

Enduring solitude, god knows how long
Spending time with those, unsuitable and wrong
Forgot all those human desires
Till her smile made me stupid again...

Oh god, it's such a shame
I'm losing control and then
Turning into a total jerk again

Being pretentious
And acting foolish
Being awkward
And acting childish...
A stupid old man
Radicalising himself
The best that I can
Being pretentious
And acting foolish
Being awkward
And acting childish...
A stupid old man
In love is more
A woman can bare


10. SET ME FREE

Don't look at me that way
I know you can't believe that it's come to this
But I've told, I've shown
And you've ignored, that I can't go on like this

How many times do I need to hurt you
How cruel do I need to be
For you to set me free

Please, set me free

I promised you the truth
Even if it hurts, and now I'll tell you.
My love for you has changed.
If I stayed it's only because I'm used to you

Wondering if id like to stay and grow old with you
Hey, honestly, the answer's no
That's why I've got to go.

Please, set me free

You it tortures me to stay
And it tortures me to go
And even though you cry
I now if I'd stay I'd die
In this golden cage of a love gone by
To ourselves be true and say goodbye
Say goodbye...


11. SOLITUDE

Solitude, I've feared
And adored,
Welcomed as my attendant,
Let myself drown,
And create out of it

Your tears like blades,
My heart in thousand pieces,
My blood shall heal your wounds,
Though I've feared this day
I know it was to come
Now, that I'm gone.

Never to old to rebel
Never to old to desire
Never afraid of solitude
The lone wolf's still biting

I don't want to be a part of you!
I don't want you to be a part of my life!

I've got no need
Of your entertainment
Neither is your success-society,
Your house, your boat, your car
Your wife, lover, business
Of any interest or value to me

Is this solitude self-determined
Or simply a result
Of my mean character
Or my incompatibility
With this brave new world?

Never to old to rebel
Never to old to desire
Never afraid of solitude
The lone wolf's still biting

I don't want to be a part of you!
I don't want you to be a part of my life!


12. WASTING MY DAY (... VERY RELAXED)

Laying in the soft green grass
Beneath the southern skies
Watching clouds pass by
Listening, singing seabirds fly

Ocean and wind telling me
Tales of wisdom,
Glory and the grace
Of times gone by

I'm wasting my day
My mind drifting away
Enjoying this mystical place
Feeling it's divine embrace.

Licking a tear of joy's salt
Off my happy cheeks
The sun keeps me warm
In my meadow bed, under the trees...

I'm wasting my day
My mind drifting away
Enjoying this mystical place
Feeling it's divine embrace.

Forget all the worries,
Oppression of greed and needs,
Leaving concepts of innocence and guilt
Spread your wings and fly!
