Hold on,
to yr. fear
bring it out
to the new year
never was enough for you
always was your blue that held you down
that held you down
know that i'm not a criminal
like those who don't know the way out
breath until every inch of you
calms down and around
i tire when i cannot move
the light, underneath my tongue

Please

So was it true?
your soul left uncouth
take me by the hand
lead me through foreign lands
leave me at the top
to the world where it lingers off
to another world
that seas become learnt
from another time
always waiting in your line
won't you take my heart out, please?
let it all just ride
with the devil by my side
he just listens in
to the moments that i'm in
wretching at the time
when i fell into love sublime
if you could let him know
i know that he's watching so
won't you take my heart out, please?
i would say i'm sorry if I thought you would just let go
i'll be fine, don't worry, heading for the new year's snow

Over You

light
feeling my love from my second eye that takes me through the night
laying all the laws down that would empty my pride
breaking all the little chains that pull you to the sand
the beach of your pleasantry that i cannot demand
just where i'm going
nobody's knowing
just where i'm going
nobody's knowing
and i could divine the truth,
it's not much more than being beside you
or over you
hope
pulls me down to the second floor where i was talking wild
pulling out my arms that could have chased across the nile
breaking all my precious thoughts that never wondered why
never wondered why
just where i'm going
nobody's knowing
just where i'm going
nobody's knowing
and i could divine the truth,
it's not much more than being beside you
or over you
lord, you don't know 'bout me
and lord, you don't think like me
talking to the wind
tell me it's my friend
talking to the wind
tell me it's my friend

Down

hold up,
when you come around
breathe in,
when you hear the sound
what it is
more than you could know
what it is
never wants to show you
hold up, you wicked son
taking it away from everyone
and lord, won't you ease my mind?
taking me down the line
dig in,
let it grow for a while
you were more when you did not smile
let it all burn in your soul
let it all burn 'til tomorrow
oh, what i did for you!
keeps me away from the blue
and lord, how it eased my mind
taking me down the line
oh, what i said to you!
keeps me away from the image of you
and lord how that eased my mind!
taking me down the line
taking me down the line
