Storm Chasers
05:01
|
|||
|
Another trip into the wild
We’re both aware of the danger ahead
And right in the middle of nowhere
A dark, clouded unknown desert
Oh it’s out there
I can feel it building up and growing
We can’t help it
Could lose it all
We’re storm chasers
Into the cyclone
We couldn’t be better
We’re storm chasers
The cloud are closing in on us
Another step and there is no way back
Still we are thrilled and attracted
We’re losing control we can only let ourselves drift
Oh it’s out there
I can feel it building up and growing
Oh we know it
We should run and hide but the threat is captivating
We can’t help it
Could lose it all
We’re storm chasers

Crucial Matter
02:57
|
|||
|
Working day and night on the case
It matters to you, it weights in your head
Every cell that’s in your body
Is given to the cause, the crucial matter
You could live an easy life
Just surfing on the waves that others make
But you haven’t reached your goal yet
No you haven’t reached your goal yet
The only way to get peace of mind
You know you need to solve the crucial matter
Your eyes have changed you don’t act the same
You look tired and anxious, in need of fresh air
You tell yourself you should throw it all away
Leave it behind and shut your brains down
You could live an easy life
Just surfing on the waves that others make
But you haven’t reached your goal yet
No you haven’t reached your goal yet
The only way to get peace of mind
You know you need to solve the crucial matter

Define
03:51
|
|||
|
Defining is what needs to be done
For every action, words of your own
So leave all instinct behind and make it a fiction
Not what it is but what it should be
To fit in with the crowd and please everyone
Words keep spinning round and you need to define
Your thoughts and ideas and let them
Fall in line
So many stories floating in space
Waiting for one voice to put them in place
So leave all instinct behind and make it a fiction
Not what it is but what it should be
To fit in with the crowd and please everyone
Words keep spinning round and you need to define
Your thoughts and ideas and let them
Fall in line

Resilience
02:30
|
|||
|
Keep in mind that none of us will let you down
We can take another hit
Cohesion will prevail once more
‘Cause I know you will thrive again
Resilience always got you bouncing back
Every time it’s been a strike, we had to stand
We can handle one more trial
And all of what is coming next
And I know you will thrive again
Resilience always got you bouncing back
You know how hard we all believe in you
You’re the one who taught us how to cope

Spaceship
04:19
|
|||
|
Alone in the night time, the same night we all share
Yet yours is someplace else
You’re trying to meet us back so keep going
Wake up you’re sleeping, your night has been long enough
Like built up and forgotten, your story rewritten, I know
I can only wish that sometimes, you’re feeling fine, relieved and well
If you’re really going back home on your spaceship
Travel safe my friend, and come back sometime
I know that you never chose to brave this troubled sea
If only we had known about the storm there was in your head
But time is on our side and dawn will get here soon
So slowly you won’t notice
Until you look up and see you’ve made it
I can only wish that sometimes, you’re feeling fine, relieved and well
If you’re really going back home on your spaceship
Travel safe my friend, and come back sometime

Unsettled
04:33
|
|||
|
I know you feel you’re the only one
Who’s trying to build a sincere connection
I can’t really argue with you I’ve been keeping my distance
And I know I hurt you, I’m sorry for the bitter feeling
So tell me how I can, show you that you really matter
I know I tend to vanish in a far away place where no one goes
When I need to wander
Frustration growing from a lack of words
Leaving you uneasy, confused and concerned
But let’s just tell it like it is
I’ve had my issues
I’ll try to do better, I should have reached out to you before
So tell me how I can, show you that you really matter
I know I tend to vanish in a far away place where no one goes
When I need to wander
Think I need time for myself when I fail to keep composure
all my thoughts are unsettled
I can’t really argue with you, I’ve been keeping my distance
And I know I hurt you, I’m sorry for the bitter feeling
So tell me how I can, show you that you really matter
I know I tend to vanish in a far away place that’s hard to reach
When I need to wander
Think I need time for myself when I fail to keep composure
All my thoughts are unsettled

Syncope
06:50
|
|||
|
Doesn’t matter what I do
You’re always standing in profile
I’d let you change everything and make it yours
Hold off any dream for a while
Somehow you became my syncope
My lovely loss of pressure to keep it real
I could leave everything and everyone I know
Leave it all behind and let it fade away
If I could write my story
You’d have the lead role
Your name in every line
Every moment, the center of it all
But it’s getting late now
Waking up still lost in the dream
My deepest desires, slowly evaporate
I wish I could be part of it and make it real
Let the impulse guide my senses
If I could write my story
You’d have the lead role
Your name in every line
Every moment, the center of it all
But it’s getting late now

Shift
03:08
|
|||
|
The fraction of a moment to start it all
An unexpected spark, a chain reaction
That leaves no options
I’m running hard in both direction baby
I can’t decide what I should do
Move on or try to make this moment last
But nothing really stands
Nothing really stands
A sudden disengagement with no warning
Can stall or cut you loose, depending what you do
And where you’re coming from
I’m running hard in both direction baby
I can’t decide what I should do
Move on or try to make this moment last
But nothing really stands
Nothing really stands

Wildfire
04:26
|
|||
|
It all started abruptly
On a warm summer night
From our deliberate signs
To the burning outcome that fuses our body
And I can feel it through the night
I’m still alive
And we can share the wildfire
That we started
Yeah I can feel it through the night
It don’t matter to me
Where the impulse comes from
As long as we both agree
To move forward and leave our thoughts behind
And I can feel it through the night
I’m still alive
And we can share the wildfire
That we started
Yeah I can feel it through the night

Once and for All
06:16
|
|||
|
Once and for all can we decide
To liberate our minds and choose to make or break
I know it’s been some time since we spent the night just talking ‘’till the morning
With everything we lived, I know we should feel really together
And I can understand
I know that we know that the flame might burn
And then fade away, it’s just what bright things do
I know it’s been some time since we spent the night just talking ‘’till the morning
With everything we lived, I know we should feel really together
And I can understand
And the years they’re floating by
Until we have no more to spend
The world will be strong and young and pushing us out
Out towards another shore
I know it’s been some time since we spent the night just talking ‘’till the morning
With everything we lived, I know we should feel really together
And I can understand
