The Fall of Hearts

You wait by the river Days are long and melt right into nothing You wait for my eyes And who else is waiting For the summer sky? Your still voice drives me further under now No tomb or blessing, buried in the poisoned ground Unbearable, to have the beast untied The coming of my ruin Age tears the spine And the devil inside, comes back to escort me I burn, this fever drives me straight into your arms again Unspeakable, drop your withered pride Come back and forgive me Freezing in the blue light Hid my plan under a blanket of dust The pressure of the years delivers me back into your grip I am pledging my love to you, still waiting Breathing under siege, oppressed by the dreams I have to feed And crushed by the flood, I won’t let you go Born unwise, seeking trust, in a broken creed Crushed by the grey, I’m waiting for color You wait by the river You wait for my eyes And who else is waiting For the summer sky? Your still voice drives me further under now No tomb or blessing, buried in the poisoned ground Unbearable, to have the beast untied The coming of my ruin Age tears the spine The Devil inside comes back to escort me I burn, this fever drives me Come back and forgive me Come back and forgive me I burn, this fever drives me straight into your arms again... Breathing under siege, oppressed by the dreams I have to feed And crushed by the flood, I won’t let you go Born unwise, seeking trust, in a broken creed Crushed by the grey, I’m waiting for colour

Leaving the choirs behind to sing Of anything fair, of lilac spring A dream of truce behind my eyes A life of journeys will unwind Emerge through idle air Born under a troubled sign Will it hurt to see me find the long lost peace of mind? Darling, you had me here for a while It breaks my heart to see you cry, in the wake of incomplete time Darkness overthrows! Map of nowhere is in my hand The roads are blurred, sojourners land So take however long you want But don’t forget my love You’ve pledged yourself to come along You’re lost in reveries, holding back the tears Faint sound of the wires, the butterfly is in the fire now Lost in a memory, you’re holding my hands One heart is in the ground, the other is veiled in silver all around Born under a troubled sign Will it hurt to see me find the long lost peace of mind? Darling, you had me here for a while It breaks my heart to see you cry, in the wake of incomplete time

Bring on salvation I have a way to find mine I swallow light And what if I move, lapsing into failure In the lowering night, in the lowering night I... had waited for you Though I was certain, you wouldn’t come back, no Into the after-hours! Smudged my heart for all to see! But it’s so quiet now, makes it harder to shine Had a dream about tomorrow! But with nothing more to think about, I fade out (fade out) Bring on sedation I have waited a long time and dragged myself a long way There’s a flight to Medellin – twelve hours of drinking gin Awakened by summer Sever the ties that were once unyielding Packed my money, under night’s neon curtain Smudged my heart for all to see! But it’s so quiet now, makes it harder to shine Had a dream about tomorrow! But with nothing more to think about, I fade out (fade out)

Rid my mind of residual thoughts until knowledge will arrive, they closed my eyes and cold stars would align. In the city the lights are many but I can’t find it amusing anymore. I watch the night unfold and vanish, stood on the highway So hey, let’s celebrate, there’s no need to cry. No one can comfort you, there’s no one around But baby, can you hear the sky blowing at night? It’s our wealth! And I’m ready to go if you’re already there. Saw your trail in the snow, did you find the way to freedom? It’s the last day I’m here! So can you hear the sky fall down, collapsing over ravaged ground? The sickness rising, the towering wall, going for the fire. Found the signs on the road I was looking for, bend my desire and fade from their sight. The dents in all that I had, the tidings from our fading sun made me wiser. Take your time, everyone will want to go step by errant step. Degraded my heart, that’s what you do when you have nothing more to find. Degraded my heart, that’s what you do when you have nothing more to find. The dents in all that I had, the tidings from our fading sun made me wiser. So hey, let’s celebrate, there’s no need to cry. No one can comfort you, there’s no one around But baby, can you hear the sky blowing at night? It’s our wealth! And I’m ready to go if you’re already there.

Well, these are the words that you won’t find This closure is not what you had in mind Commemorate and relive the harm The treason conclude Lest we forgive what did bring us here This closure is not what you had in mind I try to remember you as it was... fragments... Ghost of different shades, cold day up ahead I glide away into the dark, two hours till morning’s due And I wait here for you! To see you rise like the tide, graced and admired I fall away across the dark It will inspire, fell inside! Touched upon deadened virtue Made it burn through weights of courage Conformed to all those already hidden, their crystal ground Steel made wall – see the barrier stand tall (stand tall) Ascend through the air and find a heart yet undefined Well, these are the words that you won’t find This closure is not what you had in mind Commemorate and relive the harm The treason conclude Lest we forgive what did bring us here This closure is not what you had in mind Try to remember you as it was... fragments... Source of withering code, of dust, of deceit Can’t proceed without a guide Intuition abandoned you I’m clouding the view! To see you rise like the tide, graced and admired I fall away across the dark It will inspire, fell inside! Touched upon deadened virtue Made it burn through weights of courage Conformed to all those already hidden Conformed to all those already hidden, their crystal ground

My memories like deleted film Awareness of this fire, kerosene Ignite the trial of my mind Above the horizon now Upon the freezing tracks Grasp for the embers of my life You came back but so did I Who’s in control? Spite, so cold in this light Reflective summary froze me in a frame My time had run out before the future came Depart from insight, breach was made How could I ever forget our days? I drown in silver, set to go unafraid Into the blue, blue waves Though I had hoped to hear your voice there Last song before the fade Who’s in control? Spite, so cold in this light Arise to other heights now! Make me transcend into your still heart Beyond this world of stone! Let me surrender to the streams of nought Last song before the fade! Sick days behind me now Winter wails through the chest Dim the lights as I pass – will be no harm Arise to other heights now! Make me transcend into your still heart Beyond this world of stone! Let me surrender to the streams of nought Last song before the fade!

Spiraling nights in the void Weathered coat and a dagger If I dream back my youth I can still hear you sing A voice that will die on a mountain And I fear that I’ve stayed here just a little too long I had to go where you couldn’t follow... In my weariness I still hear you singing in my mind All the fortunes, they took away The shifting earth beneath us (nothing to observe) The clouds at our feet (nothing to observe) The sun was made a jewel (nothing to observe) When at night it did sleep – nothing to observe Cast in a trench of fire I can see the sky is a ceiling And when my heart dies down I am long gone on the fields of summer’s green Away from fall and famine In my weariness I still hear you singing in my mind All the fortunes, they took away The shifting earth beneath us (nothing to observe) The clouds at our feet (nothing to observe) The sun was made a jewel (nothing to observe) When at night it did sleep I am in every season The one you have always known Life did not reward you So find your way to the river and let go The shifting earth beneath us (nothing to observe) The clouds at our feet (nothing to observe) The sun was made a jewel (nothing to observe) When at night it did sleep – nothing to observe The shifting earth beneath us (nothing to observe) The clouds at our feet (nothing to observe) The sun was made a jewel (nothing to observe) When at night it did sleep

I am ready to find the lost way to vanishing days. I write words void of worth, in my youth I will always stay. There’s room for every lie they put on my shoulders, I let it inside. Inseparable growth marks us still, abundance won’t come purge our will. Cut out and resign, overtaken and left behind. It's in our racing hearts, the things we never let go of. They spill into my love! I'm thinking if torpor had left my soul voices would sing, I would submit my heart to the sentiment within and let go of the night that is abiding here. Old songs lost their grace, send some light back to this place. There’s room for every lie they put on my shoulders, I let it inside. Inseparable growth marks us still, abundance won’t come purge our will. It’s in our racing hearts the things we never let go of. Cut out and resign, overtaken and left behind. It’s in our racing hearts, the things we never let go of. Abiding here! I'm thinking if torpor had left my soul voices would sing, I would submit my heart to the sentiment within and let go of the night that is abiding here.

Our burden fell down Once shared but waged war on my mind So told my love farewell now No loyalty to find When you vanish over the skies I am forsaken, 'neath the ground I lie Was banished from this hurtful life I am forlorn, all dreams have turned to strife Winter winds take flight Circling over my grave A haunting voice amidst the trees Rising up across the sea You vanish over the skies I am forsaken, 'neath the ground I lie Was banished from this hurtful life I am forlorn, all dreams have turned to strife (Survival, it was destined for your name) You vanish over the skies I am forsaken, 'neath the ground I lie (Compassion brings you here when the rain falls on mine) Was banished from this hurtful life I am forlorn, all dreams have turned to strife

You came in to my circle of trust, arriving late You could have done better, but it’s ok Contemplating summer and what could have been Who knows? But I fear you took the words from my drunken heart And they’re vanishing with you Closing down, leaking my inactivated mind, into you Memorial! Let’s put everything underground now Your void eyes! How long until, you come back around? 5 a.m. I’m fading, ghost on the pavement I celebrate futility within I am wretched, all colours blur to one You did well to make me believe! It was a way to survive, to run a scar inside Ascend now as your chain of rust has swayed me Observing dead air, so worn out Contemplating summer and what could have been Who knows? But I fear you took the words from my drunken heart And they’re vanishing with you Closing down, leaking my inactivated mind, into you Memorial! Let’s put everything underground now Your void eyes! How long until, you come back around? 5 a.m. I’m fading, ghost on the pavement I celebrate futility within You did well to make me believe! It was a way to survive You took your gear and hit the trail I was there by the runway Above spires and buildings now You have passed the horizon In time another star will rise Dissimulation On the wind comes the message now You have passed the horizon Divide like wings!

Du är vakaren, dina tankar går bredvid hand i hand med ljuset. Att se klart, att aldrig vara sen. Jag hör ditt namn i bruset. Kylans port, dörren utan lås, dygnets cirkel runt dig. Alarmet om det nåansin gåar, håll dig intill mig. Rikedom, domen kommer. Det är så dom gör affärer. När man inte har nåt kvar att ge dom, då kommer dom tillbaks. Ta det som ett löfte genom åren. Det finns ingen med en tanke som är klar. Bevakar ni mig nu? Jag har ett vapen i mitt hem, i det tysta huset. Men lämnar staden, landet? Kommer aldrig mer igen! Min hand kan snudda ljuset sen. Spegeln står vinklad så man ser, snö och sedlar falla. Jag dansar tyst, bara två steg till höger och sen vänster. Man orkar inte mer! Men hade du gått förbi mig i staden där vi var, Innan jag hade åkt. Våra hjärtan hade lyst upp gatan då... Rikedom, domen kommer. Det är så dom gör affärer. När man inte har nåt kvar att ge dom, då kommer dom tillbaks. Ta det som ett löfte genom åren. Det finns ingen med en tanke som är klar.

In the last rays of the setting sun and the past days, that's where our memories run. And all of those times, still race through my mind. I'm shattered inside to find. When the night comes down, and I'm here all alone. When the night comes down, and there's no place to go. Call me and I'll wait till the summer. You never understood. Call me and I'll wait forever, for a love that's only good. As the light starts to dim. The fear closes in, and the nightmares begin. When the night comes down, and I'm here all alone. When the night comes down, and there's no place to go. Oh no, you won't be there tomorrow. Oh no, say it isn't true! Can't take this pain and sorrow. Can't you see my heart is broken in two? When the night comes down, and I'm here all alone. When the night comes down, and there's no place to go.
