Gone Forever

I've been dreaming too much, I've been thinking too much
I've been wasting my precious time
I've been dreaming of you, I've been thinking of you
Longing for your touch
I've been a foul for you, just for you
Wasting my precious time
And now that I know that you're gone forever
I'm sort of relieved as well
Makes me wondering why
I really thought that you would be here forever
Has it all been a ly
Or am I learning something clever
It's been quite a ride, I've had some lonely nights
But now I can't say I regret it
It's been worth the time, considering all
Although there've been quite some gruesome moments
I've been a foul for you, just for you
Wasting my precious time
And now I know that you're gone forever

Rat Race
02:52
|

The room is sliding
I am gliding
It feels like flying
There's a sense of dying
The walls are falling
My head is turning
The earth is shaking
Everything is breaking
Up into peaces
Tiny little peaces of junk
The weather is changing
My body is aging
The world keeps on spinning
The colours are melting
Birds are singing
My stomach is churning
The floor is shaking
Everything is breaking
Up into peaces
Tiny little peaces of junk
My senses are colliding
I feel like hiding
Sun is shining
There's no sense in whining
The walls are falling
My head is turning
The floor is shaking
Everything is breaking
Up into peaces
Tiny little peaces
Peaces of junk
Garbage all over the place
I wonder who I am I'm a mess,
I'm losing this rat race

Home Again

Home again
It's fine again
I'm gonna sleep again
Since I don't know when
I'm cleaning out the mess
That I find inside
When I left
Long ago
I left it all behind
The sun is shining bright
My life is feeling light
And I know that everything's alright
Alone again
I'm whole again
Free again
Since I don't know when
I'm cleaning out the mess
I'm working out the stress
And I know
That I will reach my goal
The sun is shining bright
My life is feeling light
And I know that everything's alright

Together Forever
03:19
|

|
There's trouble on the horizon
I see a dark sky building up
In a way I want it over and done
Regardless the consequences
Will this storm be a matter of days
I need to stop and find me a shelter
Are the precautions all in place
No use thinking of here after
There's a better world on the horizon
I can see it plain in sight
It is far more to my liking
Transformation into light
Are you in on it, will we be together
Can we be best friends forever
Tell me sweetheart
Do you see it as well
Can we be together forever

A Reason
03:31

You’ve got this way about you baby
Makes my heart go running wild
The way you smile drives me crazy
Start behaving like a child
Don’t care about what you might say
I’ll do it anyway
The risk that you will turn me down
Still I will be the same
Maybe I will ask you
Maybe I will not
There must be a reason why I care a lot
I spend my time thinking ‘bout you
Trying to image how you are
Tell you all about my feelings
When we’re sitting at the bar
I’m sick and tired of pretending
Want to scream it out so loud
The way you’re dancing and romancing
Makes it easy to let it out
Maybe I will ask you
Maybe I will not
There must be a reason why I care a lot
Maybe the reason is loving you
I start by telling you
You make me feel so fine
Now I finally decided to tell you all about
The way that I am feeling, I’ve been living in a cloud
There’s no reason anymore
Left this nonsense all behind
There’s nothing to consider
Only clearness in my mind

How Everything Flows
04:06
|

Life is a changing
I seem to lag behind
I'm defined by the circumstances
Can I re-arrange it
Can I find a way out
Can I beat the clock for just one time
I don't need this pain in the ass
I don't think that it is worth it
I am taken by surprise
I'm a victim once again
It's the way that it goes
It's the way how everything flows
It's a matter of giving in
And enjoying the flow of things
Can I accept whatever I feel
Can I feel without limits
Is there a me to take control
Or am I my own conception
Is there a person deep inside
It seems to be just my thinking
I can't find a person behind
The madness of my mind

The Knee Of Listening

Something better might just come about
When you've done everything you could do
It ain't no guarantee, so please feel free
To doubt the people that tell you
That everything will be alright
You don't need to worry
That the son of God will take the blame
That you just have to believe
What the holy men are telling you
And in the end everything will be alright
Does this mean that we're doomed to die
That the end is closing in
It ain't no guarantee, so please feel free
To doubt the people that tell you
That this is all there is
That you are a limited soul
That there isn't something greater than you
That you just have to believe
What the scientists are telling you
That everything needs to be explained
There ain't no way to know, the mind can't understand
The only thing that's greater, that's no point of view
So we need to let go, let go of what's not there

You Are The Witness
03:30
|
|||
|
When there isn't pursuit of union
When there isn't a goal to achieve
There is a state of self-realisation
As that what is always already the case
There isn't a trace of grief
There isn't a trace of me
Well there is just that what is always already the case
Reality beyond point of view
The ego just can't grasp it
It has a limited point of view
With a limited sense of reality
The unobservable totality of light
Is the condition of who we are
Well there is just that what is always already the case
You are not the one who wakes, dreams or sleeps
You are not what it appears to be
You are the actionless and formless witness
You are the witness

Living In A Cage
03:34
|
|||
|
Does it really make it better, does it work for you
Do you really feel much better when they tell you to
To do the things that they want you to do
To forget about the words that I'm telling you
Can you live without freedom
Can you breathe when they sit on your chest
Can you think without freedom
Can you live the life of somebody else
Is this how you think that it's meant to be
Is this how you want the others to feel
Is this the way that you really thought your life would be
Can't you try another way of being somebody
Or are you trapped in this way of thinking
Do you really want to play it tough
Do you really want to live
Do you really want to live in a cage
These fools who try to bully you around
Are as sick as they can get
Telling you what the hell you should do
Instead of looking at themselves
It's pathetic, it's compulsive, it's the other way around
They are locked in a cage themselves

Rock 'n Roll Junction
04:54
|

I'm going to the station
Leave my dear ones behind
I'm heading for a new destination
I'll meet you there If I will find you there
Are you heading for the same destination
It depends on what you do
What you do with your information
It's all a matter of reaching for the stars
It's all a matter of being who you really are
You keep telling me 'bout the pain that you feel
I've heard it all before
Now it's time for a change
I don't care for this heartache no more
You keep whining about the mistakes that you made
But you know that we can't change the past
So it's time to make some life changing decisions right now
On this crucial junction
This point of intersection
A cross-roads for pies in the sky
No new direction
Just realising what has always been here
Singing along to a song in my mind
The heartaches are gone forever
Waiting for you to come along
Together we will stand so strong

Sheep
03:24

We’ve been trapped for so long
But now it feels wrong
Finally a light on the horizon
The world has gone crazy
The world is in a mess
But a change might be coming maybe
The light showing darkness
Treason exposed
Corruption through the roof
We could have seen it coming
Could have seen it before
We’ve been vast asleep
We’ve been way too busy
We’ve been way too weary
We’ve been acting like a bunch of sheep
We’ve been way too sleepy
We’ve been way too needy
We’ve been treated like a pack of meat
We need to change our ways
We need some better days
We can be .. our own masters
The world has gone crazy
The world is in a mess
But a change might be coming surely

Build Me A New Home
02:41

I will always remember
Those days back in Spain
When we were so young
When we were so close
To a life how we hoped it could be
The memories are all that's left
The memories of those days
Still bring me back
Still bring me back in so many ways
Maybe I should go back again
Find me a place in Spain again
Pick up the pieces and build me a new home

Bad times before it's getting any better
Bad times are coming to town
2x
They talk about a cyber attack
They say that Covid will come back
They slam the door in your face
They hit you/us twice, so you better find a base
Upon we can defend ourselves
Upon we can hit them back
Bad times are coming to town
I do see the plans in store
I can see them coming
No surprises anymore
I can see them rushing
Sure is taking you a while
Although the proof is quite a pile
We better stick together
We better form a team
We better see the aggressor
We better make him scream
You keep us waiting
You're so vast asleep
The challenge you are facing
The truth will make you weep
I will stay in the background
So you can take your time
To come around
They talk about us going to war
Need our money, so tax us even more
