On Fire 03:19
On the streets that we walked through the rain On the hill that's seen the story of your life I found myself caught in the movie that made you cry Every seed that you've sown with your tears The empires you've built through the years I just turn and look out of the window and it's for real My senses are on fire My senses are on fire The world in the palm of your hand and the words of the priest you understand they hang over you like a shadow, like your silhouette And my senses are on fire My senses are on fire The past of the future is now

When they say I failed my mission And I’ll be losing all ambitions Will you come and listen To what I’ve to say? When I’m on your television Blushing with shame for my decisions Will you be so kind and listen To what I’ve to say? About the tears I cannot wipe About the options never tried About the time I spend denying That all that you see is me lying Everyone says I’ve failed my mission And I’m losing all ambitions Because you never listen To what I’ve to say About the years I cannot wipe About the lives I’ve never tried About the time I spend denying That all that you see is me dying

You may have the right to be insane, but you should do something to change the weight you carry on your shoulders it’s just too much for your waist Maybe you’re right to be insane but if the weight gets thrown away You could take on the illusion that there’s love there on the way Then we could share our way Share our peace somewhere today And think that life ain’t stupid all the way Whatever happened in your past, you keep it stuck there long and fast But there are lives we have to live and, oh dear, now we’re at our best We could be somewhere Turn our silences up, there And mix them with the softness of our bodies and the air And I may have the right to be insane but I would like to take some blame ‘Cause it’s just us on whom our things depend, just look at it again Maybe I really am insane but I will only do my rightful share You want to save the planet, but there’s this little world we have And we could share our way Share our peace somewhere today And think that life ain’t stupid all the way Whatever happened in my past, whatever got stuck in me this fast You’re so beautiful today and I am at my best So we should be somewhere Turn our silences up, there And mix them with the softness of our bodies, yeah

When in my fortress I lie and caress The thoughts of you I keep inside I’m always impressed, get almost obsessed Then I turn it ‘round and slowly untie I flow to the heights of my new lives And find a place where I can hide You’re never there, your beautiful glare Has gone somewhere for a different ride But you know that I’m still on your side For all the things that we share and all that we both divide And you’re still on my side For all the things that we were and all that we are now I’m still on your side And when the rest of what were the best Memories of life to enter my mind Become suppressed, set behind the crest Of the new worlds that pull me inside I’ll flow in the heights of my new lives And have a place where I can hide You’ll not be there, your beautiful glare Will be somewhere on a different ride But you know that I’ll be still on your side For all the things that we share and all that we both divide You’ll be still on my side For all the things that we were and all that we are now I’m still on your side

No sign of life or the moon, very strange for a Wednesday night well now the past life seems doomed and tomorrow not too bright. You’re right, we’ve never had much room, maybe it’s the country and maybe it’s you but I know you won’t stand in the queue, you will go straight on through With Italian Champaign or Belgian beer then if you like Russian vodka for the pain, Turkish blend to calm you down we’ll forget the next day, the past that we don’t like anything to soothe the pain at least for a little while get a little wild. These strange times of change when we correct our recent lies well now the past life seems doomed tomorrow not too bright. With Italian Champaign or Belgian beer then if you like Irish whiskey for the pain, Turkish blend to calm you down we’ll forget the next day and the past that we don’t like anything to soothe the pain at least for a little while get a little wild. You say you feel lost on this street and you feel just all too weak now you doubt you have the guts to take all this or to wait sober for the next bliss yeah I’m surprised that we’re still alive yeah I’m surprised that we’re still alive we’ll forget the next day the past that we don’t like anything to soothe the pain at least for a little while get a little wild.

I've dreamt that you were falling and you could not reach the ground line. It hurt as much as knowing that I couldn't help you as you tried... But how would you know? How could I tell you the way to go? How could I show when we were all these worlds apart. And I heard you crying I saw you drop the lifeline. It hurt as much as knowing that I couldn't reach you as you tried... But how would you know? How could you I tell you the way to go? How could I show when we were all these worlds apart. Should I wake up and let it go? I do not know which world's my home. Is this just a bubble that I should burst? Oh I can't bear to live in another world.

A Note 02:59
note: what’s held you back for so long? were you afraid you’d go wrong? now you want to travel away from your troubles i’ll not be in your way go and find the world where you want to be slow to see things as i was now i see the whole cause there was a problem deep at the bottom so i’ll not be in your way go and find the life that you want to live but now i need to turn to a song will you sing with me love? away on your travel how is your problem? found a place where to stay? your free world where you always wanted to be

There are so many things I wanted to tell you so many things I wanted to do with you But the summer sky is closing up now and the rain will soon come through You are leaving for England 'cause that's the best that you can do you say it's a fairly short distance but I wonder if I'll be so close to you Seems that home is where the dough is but with mortgages and all those ravages...yeah, the leftist government doesn't seem to help your cause, no so the summer sky is closing up now and the fog will soon come through You are leaving for England is that the best that you can do? You say it's a fairly short distance but I wonder if she'll be so close to you

We’ve got a place, we call it a grave Try not to breathe in here please An apocalyptical cave Well, that’s the way to get through these days We've got a room that resembles the doom We'd better gone to the moon An apocalyptical cave Well, that’s the way to get through these days But you've got you someone to mother you And I’ve got me someone who can set me free We'll get through these days to some better place And I will root out this bitter taste

It was hell I couldn't escape the pain Bruised, hollow, cold and ashamed I could do anything, but It was hell so I'd scream and I'd run away I'd play a child then I'd play a mate Now I see there's not much left to do wrong now and I missed the things we could’ve seen but never tried and I missed the things that went down the sink of your pride and I missed the chance to make you see that I hadn't lied Just can’t help but open the door again break out of the shell, out of the hell there’s not much left still I miss the things we could’ve been but never tried and I miss the things that went down the sink of my pride and I missed the chance to make you see that I hadn't lied All the symphonies that would always see me through All the drinks that would uplift our minds to take a different view All the songs that would save our lives from seeming in vain, They seem in vain.
