Tombs Without Stones 03:22
lyrics

I’ll see you soon In a red cocktail dress With covered knees I'll see you shine brighter than sun And I’ll lose my sleep again And I’ll lose my sleep again I'll see you soon So careless, hovering above The strangers starring in movies With no main characters You're a ghost I owe nothing to you You are the past that I forgot I carry this weight and wait the day When I can finally be free and get rid of it Till the day you came again to my foggy head Ashamed of your nudity and my heart melted Like on the sea bottom sinking caravel slowly began glowing But would never sail again I’ll see you soon In a red cocktail dress With covered knees I'll see you shine brighter than sun And I’ll lose my sleep again And I’ll lose my sleep again I'll see you soon So careless, hovering above The strangers starring in movies With no main characters And winter comes after the long hot summer And warm days turn to cold nights May be we'll turn these pages to spring Where the valleys will turn green I've been up all night Watching the tail lights On highway... Winding away Lights form the other stories Where fates ain't so grey And heartbreak will be so easy to forget When the waves collide with black clouds New city will grow above old graves We are the ghosts of love that still have bodies We are the tombs without stones We'll never ever meet again

Every Single Room 02:59
lyrics

I come to terms I accept the wrongs And I don't feel regret All The stones I'd thrown Met the other ones From the same causeway With no direction And we roam This last road alone To the end Endlessly I feel I feel How days go by You wait rebirth of wonders I feel I feel How waves of times collide My bare feet leave no traces And morning air hurts my lungs Never looking back It's all I want It’s all I wanted But unable to stop screaming I hope I have enough strength to bear this cross When we are gone Who will live in our home? Will they remove what we loved? Will they throw away All the boxes full of memories from the closet? Warm wind still plays in their hairs And dances with curtains In every single room What's gonna fill the hollow When hollow filled it all The every single room The every single home What's gonna fill the hollow When hollow filled it all The every single room When we are gone All I ever wanted To accept the illusion I live

Furnace 01:28
lyrics

Light a fire, and let it burn And another road turns to the dead end Hopeless men find themselves in the embers Of their last night In their last sleep Where the wreckage of young dream Sinks in everyday's routine Keep the Home Fires Burning, While your hearts are yearning, Though your lads are far away They dream of home,there's a silver lining Through the dark clouds shining, Turn the dark cloud inside out Eyes open wide If you can read between the lines We’ll find a bridge across the endless sea Of misunderstanding But we'd better lock all doors and block our ears Fill up our illusions with the honest Honest, honest, sonnets Keep the Home Fires Burning, While your hearts are yearning, Though your lads are far away They dream of home,there's a silver lining Through the dark clouds shining, Turn the dark cloud inside out

All Nighters, MD 02:24
lyrics

“Roll down the window What's mine is yours” The waitress is down The café is dead We hide our tracks In flaming foliage And leaden lakes We’ll start all over again Somewhere at the end of the earth I came out of Marshalls I walked down to the Movie theatre I turned to the right and I was sure I would find him smiling and smoking And my bicycle in the utility room We were the best of friends I would never know another you We were the best ones I found a home away from home I found myself So happy So welcome I found a home away from home I lost the key I hope you still wait for me If you swim fast now, Does something still hold you back? Does it make you sometimes Stop and stare Sinking slowly Then talk to someone But this one will never be me? I hope you know I tried to find you man Confide, I'll give anything to get it back I found a home away from home I found myself So happy So welcome I found a home away from home I lost the key

Loving Son 03:14
lyrics

Stay outta line And finally I’m sinking by your side Burn yourself empty In the fear Keep our faithfulness alone "I fell out the hole that's now your heart Baby And stuck in another one" Mother looks at the kids Kids look at mother’s tears And finally father says “So many hopes and ways for you to walk, careless son, little son, faithful son Life will bury your dream deep into the ground, my loving son” Fuck these beautiful shelters Money-based family values And whorehouses filled With respectable fathers And never the twain shall meet But befall in the same way Rose faded in garden and Rose wrapped in cellophane “So many hopes and ways for you to walk, careless son, little son, faithful son Life will bury your dream deep into the ground, my loving son” We all deserve the warm only from drawn sun by black-eyed boy
