Erase 03:23
Remember when past was present Remember when life was pregnant And erase, erase, erase it Now suicide is taxiing along your inner runway Then ask the mirror why dreams can’t swim And look at it laughing Then the moon asks you wether you learned humour or not You didn’t... so you’re knocked out Erase, erase, it’s easy erase, erase it Erase, Our kisses, erase, stop rewind erase, erase it. And now you try to fill the void of life with the void of vice Pain has been paid Corpses been laid Tears have been shed, then erase Erase , it's easy, erase Stop rewind erase Erase it Erase Our kisses erase Stop rewind erase erase it erase it I feel so much better since I've been puckin my soul Live and leave it, and erase me You’d better erase – O c’mon erase me, erase me stop rewind erase.

Skin 03:35
There's a woman in the mirror and she's looking at me There's a woman in a mirror And she's sure damn pretty There's a woman in a mirror Now she looks rather angry So I come closer, and tryand make her feel better Then I find out that woman here is me If I could take her place, crossing gently through the surface If I was given the grace to become who I am As I look at her face, well the difference getting thinner We have come so close, I feel her lips on mine And I'm gonna change that skin I'm gonna shed that skin I'll let the butterfly, spread its wings I'm gonna shed some tears I'm gonna face my fears I'm gonna start to blossom let the, let the woman, in. Oh my body is a prison, and I want to break free Society will call this treason, and they will be hunting me Why not shave my legs, if that helps me feel still Why not wear a dress, if that makes me feel free I will walk in the streets, like a queen with her crown Up from my high heels, I will ignore their frowns And I'm gonna change that skin I'm gonna shed that skin Ill let the butterfly, spread its wings I'm gonna shed some tears I'm gonna beat my fears I'm gonna start to blossom let the, let the woman, in.

Sorry if those big words You’re craving so much for they just don’t flow out anymore Sorry my lips are burned I hope they can still kiss But if you’re after spoken bliss I’ll tell you this: I don’t need your love I just want your company I don’t need your love I just want your sympathy but I don’t need your love I don’t need your love This thirst I can’t quench I would only raise your worsening fever If I were to give you salted water I’d like to give you comfort I’d love to keep you warm But I just can’t forget last time I opened up the door So if you judge of my feelings cause I won’t tell Then go find yourself a liar That’ll make you live in hell But believe me I don’t need your love I just want your tenderness I don’t need your love Just moments of happiness But I don’t need your love – I don’t need your love I don’t want it, I don’t need it Keep those big words beyond your teeth I don’t want it, I don’t need it Serve someone else this ugly speech I don’t need your love – I don’t need it Love... love.

They spring in my head these pictures of you reminding me of times I didn’t live They float in my head these pictures of you memories of places I’ve never been These memories sting – It’s the power of dreams I see you by the lake you grew up near but I’m the one you’re smiling at that’s clear Now you’re in a train so full of fear but I’m your guardian angel, I’ll get you out of here I feel like a thief – Your mind’s my crime scene Call me a freak call me a liar If that makes things easier But there are stars in your eyes And you know I don’t lie Cause you know we’re made to be lovers Let me be your lover I see you in a car, dressed like a queen, but your hands will never touch the wheel Now your face is tense and stiffened, as you reluctantly walk towards sin Pale as a cobra before the hit, broken mirrors under your feet Who’s invisible? Undetectable? Call me a freak Call me a liar If that makes things easier But you know I don’t lie And we’re about to cry Cause we know we’re made to be lovers Sweet soul sister

Lost 03:28
First time you opened your door I glanced at green grass, and roses Outside, thin rain poured Inside the music was wavin’ Oh my little drummer boy Stepping out into the night It’s a big wild bear you’re riding Facing fears under the lights How high the flames you were throwing Are we lost, are we lost, are we lost, ô my little drummer boy Are we lost are we lost, lost Are we lost, are we lost, are we lost, ô my little drummer boy Are we lost are we lost, lost Too young to realize How deep the poison was hitting Too stupid to analyse All the signals you were sending Are we lost, are we lost, are we lost Oh my little drummer boy A Are we lost are we lost, lost (X2)

You could feel it in the air Like a taste gettin bitter words drying on my tongue everything i'd do turned wrong Babe i just wont climb those stairs I'd rather wake up in an empty bed again You'll be elsewehere, And I... I 'll stick with the pain You know I waited for a sign You know I waited for a sign Some nights are colder than others some fears, never sleep And you keep staring at me How could you realize your sexy body sounds like a lie You know I waited for a sign You know I waited for a sign You know I waited for a sign I'm still waiting I'm still waiting There's a light, then a sigh I wanna run out of sight I'd rather die than tell you why Not today be Okay Please go away and stay safe Before I open my heart to you Before I open my heart to you Before I open my heart Open my heart

Flying river 04:46
I am bending. Stretching slowly I am flowing, gently The water is shining, in this room full of shadows The stream is shimmering Color drops splash by On the wooden floor And now i've seen, my soul I would never have thought That such an ugly man Could be so beautiful The circle is wavin' It's a flying river Turning and whirling and dancing In the air The chant is rising The vibration's amazing The circle's gettin wider it opens And it's me again And now i've seen, my soul I would never have thought That such an ugly man Could be so beautiful And now I've seen my soul flowin free, that's all And now my heart is full I'm a flying river I'm a flying river
