• Lyrics • A boy met a girl when he rang a little bell in a lullaby… The girl raised her hand, singing “catch me if you can,” and they both disappeared in the ringing of my ears. They laughed and they played, and they treasured every day of the summertime. And just as they kissed, she withdrew into the mist and the boy stayed behind in the caverns of my mind. And you’d never even know that he was there, but I whisper to him softly and take him everywhere. And the years went by but nothing ever changed. He forgot about the girl and let the laughter drift away. Then one sullen night, he perceived a little light in the corridor. The girl raised a lamp and she took him by the hand and we both disappeared, yeah we both disappeared… we both disappeared, yeah we both disappeared… we both disappeared, yeah we both disappeared…

• Lyrics • I’ve been bad and didn’t let you feel the love that you deserve. Let me give you what you need, I promise I’ll do anything. Just don’t run away, cause I’m ready to believe in you; don’t run away, cause I’m ready to believe in you now. This is more than I have ever wanted anything forever. Don’t run away, cause I’m ready to believe in you; don’t run away, cause I’m ready to believe in you now. You’re the best friend I have ever had and I just want you back.

• Lyrics • Portrait of a life in bloom; pretty now, forgotten soon. Growing now but quickly fade away. Fortunate and fancy-free, happy with our company; Knowing that it’s only for today. Is it even real? I don’t trust anything I feel, but I’m happy to believe it anyway. Pictures of a perfect you, post ‘em cause you wanted to own a thing that isn’t really there. Look around and see your friends; open up and be with them cause maybe this is all you’re gonna get. Is it even real? I don’t trust anything I feel, but I’m happy to believe it anyway. Painting of a golden moon; pretty now, forgotten soon. Move the world and vanish in a day. Echoes of an ocean song; listen up, it won’t be long; Loving us with nothing left to say. Is it even real? I don’t trust anything I feel, but I’m happy to believe it anyway.

Get a Life 02:59
• Lyrics • Get a life and watch it burn. Forget the point of no return. You’re never coming back, so keep on walking down the track. Suck it up and get a job, cause that’s what everybody does. Nevermind the pain, you’ll never come this way again. And isn’t is easy to stay on top of the world when no one’s looking? And isn’t it easy to sneak away when you’ve been left behind? So close your eyes and wring your hands; You never even had a chance to show what you can do, even though you wanted to. And isn’t is easy to stay on top of the world when no one’s looking? And isn’t it easy to sneak away when you’ve been left behind? Isn’t it easy to elevate the things you should be doing? And isn’t it easy to make the plan but never get it done? So get a life like everyone.

The Moment 03:48
• Lyrics • Save my face and drain the features from it. Turn my faith and send the preacher running. Let me go because the moment said so. don’t ask why we live and then why we die.

• Lyrics • Never mind the broken crystal mirror; We tried to fix it but we don’t know how. So paint a mirror image on our faces; The past is impossibly gone now. Never mind the children in the window; We tried to raise them but we don’t know how. So turn around and dance with everybody; The past is impossibly gone now. Look into the picture of your body; We tried to see it but we don’t know how. So paint a little circle with your finger; The rhythm is about to begin now.

• Lyrics • Hello. It’s just your conscience. I’ve never done this before, but you took it way too far and I can’t hold back anymore. You’re not a rock star. You’re flying solo but you’re not a one-man show. Oh, oh oh So drop the caution and groom the inner face. The entire human race was just painted on the wall. You slammed the window. You locked the only door. And you lost the Holy War. Oh, oh, oh The truth is coming. There’s nothing I can do but try to make some room to catch it when it falls. Take me over, take me by the hand and make me understand. Is it so? I’m not a scarecrow. I’m not a broken man. I’ll make it if I can, but I can’t see straight anymore. I’m swinging at my shadow. I’ve never sung this hard. and I’ve never jumped this far.

• Lyrics • Be careful what you wish for cause you’re gonna get fucked eventually. Whatever it is you wanted, chances are you don’t want it, actually. Cause the grass is always greener and the lips are always sweeter in a dream. But you wake up in the morning with nothing but a painful memory. Be careful who you’re chasing cause you’re probably just wasting your time. And even if you get her, baby, nothing is forever, and you change your mind. Yeah, yeah. Cause the grass is always greener and the lips are always sweeter in a dream. But you wake up in the morning with nothing but a painful memory. Cause the grass is always greener and the lips are always sweeter in a dream. But you wake up in the morning with nothing but a painful memory.
