1. Believe
avely I look further than I see
Knowing things I know I cannot be, not now
I´m so aware of where I am, but I don´t know where that is
And there´s something right in front of me and I
Touch the fingers of my hand and I wonder if it´s me
Holding on and on to theories of prosperity
Someone who can promise me
I believe in me
Tomorrow I was nothing, yesterday I´ll be
Time has fooled me into thinking it´s a part of me
Nothing in this room but empty space
No me, no world, no mind, no face
Touch the fingers of my hand and tell me if it´s me
Holding on and on to Love, what else is real
A religion that appeals to me
Oh, I believe in me
Can you turn me off for just a second, please
Turn me into something faceless, weightless, mindless
Homeless Vacuum state of peace
On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I believe in me
On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I believe in me
Wait for me, I´m nothing on my own
I´m willing to go on, but not alone, not now
I´m so aware of everything, but nothing seems for real
And as long as you´re in front of me then I´ll
I watch the fingers of my hands
And I´m grateful that it´s me
Holding on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I believe in me
I´m willing to go on but not alone, not now
I´m willing to go on but not alone, not now
I´m so aware of everything
2. In Your Room
As she falls down and hurts her head
She´s lying still but she´s not dead
Awakens slowly, sees a picture of herself
On the wall as she gets up
Straightens her dress and calls me up
She says. ´I know now, I am whole now. Can you come?´
In your room where both of you are talking
Your good side and your bad
Discussing who has better hair
In your space, I hear four feet walking
And there are two more knocking
In case you´re wondering
I´m still on your side
As she embraces all of me
I want her only to need me
It doesn´t matter what I tell her because she changes
Her mind before she speaks
And tends to talk before she thinks
But how I love her
I know there´s truth for you somewhere
If I were wise I´d take you there
But I´m not, at least not yet
So I´ll be watching you instead
In your room, in your room
In your room, I can wander around forever
And I recognize the color of the walls that we painted
In your chair that I broke because I was careless
I can sit and watch you dance around
My words are spoken, I am on your side
My words are spoken, I am on your side
In your room, in your room
3. Everything for Free
I don´t know who you are, but you seem very nice
So will you talk to me, shall I tell you a story
Shall I tell you a dream, they think I´m crazy
But they don´t know that I like it here
It´s nice in here, I get everything for free
Have you been here before, shall I show you around
It´s very pretty, have you come here to stay
Well, you sure picked a day, my name is Billy
It´s my birthday, you´re invited to my party down the hall
Where I go, what I´ll become or who I am or what I´ll be
I´ll never know, but I am sure that I´ll get everything for free
I´m not troubled or sad, I´m just ready for bed
It´s been a long day before they switch off the lights
It truly was a delight, they think I´m crazy
But they don´t know that I like it here
It´s nice in here
Where I go, what I´ll become or who I am or what I´ll be
I´ll never know, but I am sure that I´ll get everything for free
Where I go, what I´ll become or who I am or what I´ll be
I´ll never know, but I am sure that I´ll get everything for free
Everything for free
I don´t know who you are, but you seem very nice
So will you talk to me, have you been here before
Well, you sure picked a day, they think I´m crazy
4. Now is Mine
My past, my future, my disease
Perhaps collapse to make me seize
A moment just a breeze
Greatful, humble I allow
These words to be the past somehow
I wonder, am I here now
Am I here now
I feel, hear, see and it confuses me
I am wrong, I am here now
Is mine, I´ll take it all around the world
Take my future past, it´s fine, but now is mine
My precious present, will you bloom
To make this fourth dimension womb
Stop asking, stop asking why
All I know is all I am
Will never fully understand my breathing
I try, how I try to feel, hear, see and it confuses me
I am wrong, I am here now
Is mine, I´ll take it all around the world
Take my future past, it´s fine
But now is mine
5. Butterflies Instead
I lock the door and lock my head
And dream of butterflies instead
The beauty of their colored wings
The trees, the grass and pretty things
Imagination fills the void of my existence
Daddy says "I love you girl, it´s not your fault
Your mom and me don´t get along"
I know he´s lying, I know there´s no such thing as inexplicable
I hear, forget, this world in bed and suddenly the sun comes up
That´s when my pets all come alive
They cheer me up and tell me
Everything´s alright
Stuffed animals are always right
My favorite song, my favorite show
I wonder if they even know
Or if they care or if they even notice
I am standing there
I want my pets to come alive
And cheer me up and tell me
Everything´s alright
Stuffed animals are always right
Everything´s alright
Stuffed animals are always right
Alright, alright, alright
My eyes all red, the baby´s wet
And someone has to get that phone
I want my pets to come alive and
Cheer me up and tell me
Alright, alright, alright, alright
I lock the door and lock my head
And dream of butterflies instead
6. If You´re Not Scared
Outside it´s raining, still you shine
How I´ve missed your trembling hands inside of mine
I´ve been away for ages, still you care
Do you count the Sundays when I´m there
Teach me how to watch this game
The way you see it through your magical frame
Time is ticking, try to see
That I am you and you are me
Don´t deny that you´re afraid to go
Don´t deny that you want to cry
Look around and watch your children grow
I feel love in every sigh
If you´re not scared, then why am I
Tell me stories, tell me more
Make me feel guilty for being bored
Tell me how to pick up things I´ve dropped
Please keep talking, never stop
Don´t deny that you´re afraid to go
Don´t deny that you want to cry
Look around and watch your children grow
I feel love in every sigh
Pray for eternity to fly
Don´t understand but how I try
If you´re not scared, then why am I
I feel love in every sigh
Pray for eternity to fly
Don´t understand but how I try
If you´re not scared, then why am I
If you´re not scared, then why am I
If you´re not scared, then why am I
7. 20,000 Seconds
20,000 seconds since you´ve left and I´m still counting
And 20,000 reasons to get up, get something done, but I´m still waiting
Is someone kind enough to pick me up and give me food, assure me that the world is good
But you should be here, you should be here
How colors can change and even the texture of the rain
And what´s that ugly little stain on the bathroom floor
I´d rather not deal with that right now
I´d rather be floating in space somewhere or
Worry about the ozone layer
And it´s almost like a corny movie scene
But I´m out of frame and the lighting´s bad
And the music has no theme
And we´re all so strong when nothing´s wrong
And the world is at our feet
But how small we are when our love is far away
And all you need is you
8. Too Many Happy Faces
Too many happy faces, I wonder what that means
Are you personally offended by an iron on your jeans
Too many happy faces, is that more than you can bear
Or is it part of what you should be, lack of hygiene in your hair
Oohooh, oohooh
Oohooh, ooh
If I thought you were clever, I´d be even more upset
And if you knew what you were saying, I might even have respect
As a Christian I should love you
But I don´t need to hear your depressing remarks
See your know-it-all face on TV
And I couldn´t care less about what you want to say
And I wish that it wasn´t just me
Oh I don´t think I´m better or kinder of heart, I´m as guilty as I can be
But every chance I get to put a smile on someone´s face I will take it, believe me
But I don´t need to hear your depressing remarks
See your know-it-all face on TV
And I couldn´t care less about what you want to say
And I wish that it wasn´t just me
No I wish that it wasn´t just me
Too many happy faces
How eloquent you are
You know someday I think you´ll
Become a big, big superstar
But I don´t need to hear your depressing remarks
See your know-it-all face on TV
And I couldn´t care less about what you want to say
And I wish that it wasn´t just me
No, I don´t need to hear your depressing remarks
See your know-it-all face on TV
And I couldn´t care less about what you want to say
And I wish that it wasn´t just me
No, I wish that it wasn´t just me
No, I wish that it wasn´t just me
9. Cocoon Crash
Every single night in bed a black cross says "Perhaps you´re getting better"
I´d like to thank you for your efforts to promote what really matters
Whenever you´re about to fall, remember this, it´s not a news flash
Don´t pretend to know it all, but go ahead, call it a cocoon crash
What I really see in you, is nothing like the things you do
As you are doing them right now
What you would really love to win
To become the air as well as trash
Is to get rid of all your skin
Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash
Call it what you will, call it what you will
Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash
Suddenly the ego that I used to have is no bigger than an eyelash
Clearly I remember someone told me "Hold on tight, here´s your cocoon crash"
What I really see in you, is nothing like the things you do
As you are doing them right now
What you would really love to win
To become the air as well as trash
Is to get rid of all your skin
Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash
Call it what you will, call it what you will
Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash
Call it what you will, call it what you will, yeah you will
Call it what you will, yeah you will
10. Hide
Watch me, I´m coming closer
I am the mood you´re in tonight
Pretty poser, perfect armageddon bride
I am a circle, it feels right
I am the one who swallows light
Multiplying parasite
Perfect features, perfect sight
You who thought you had it all
Lost your leaves before the fall
You should have killed me
You should have tried
Armageddon bride, hide, hide
Watch me, bright but blurry
Yet you knew I´ve always been
In a hurry to contaminate what´s clean
Drawing whiskers in the sky for fun, to cover up the sun
As you sting me with your laughter
Hide, hide, armageddon bride, hide, hide
You who thought you had it all
Lost your leaves before the fall
You should have killed me
You should have tried
You better hide
Armageddon
You who thought you had it all
Lost your leaves before the fall
Hide, hide, hide
11. Freestyle
See their heads up in a cloud, watch them follow what goes on
Through a little screen, oh no, the picture´s gone
There is always something else to do as long as it´s no tricky conversation
About the meaning of our lives or the reason why we pray before we die
I´m afraid I have to say that all of this combined with me
Is very wicked chemistry
It might take a while, turn me on
Live freestyle, come on
Take your time, turn me on
Live freestyle, come on
Come on let your wallet be your witness
Put your feelings in a can
Idolize a common man and join the band
You might fall for that but all of this combined with me
Is very wicked chemistry
It might take a while, turn me on
Live freestyle, come on
Take your time, turn me on
Live freestyle, come on
Take your time, turn me on
Live freestyle, come on
Everywhere, picture you are dancing just like Fred Astaire
Close your eyes and feel the wind blow through your hair
And cool your perfect body and blow away the cross you used to bear
It might take a while, turn me on
Live freestyle, come on
Take your time, turn me on
Live freestyle, come on
Take your time, turn me on
Live freestyle, come on
12. Quiet Little Place
In this quiet little place, I can´t remember having known a different pace
In this quiet little place, I can surrender to the beauty of its face
And now everything I see
Whether it´s an airplane or a tree
It makes me wonder
About the things I must have missed
And the chains around my wrists
They are no longer
In this quiet little place
I can´t imagine what it´s like to be back home
Where they care about what time it is
And spend their days answering the phone
And now everything I feel
Whether it´s fiction or it´s real
It´s so much clearer
Like the color of this light
It seems more dangerous and bright
But I don´t fear her
And slowly it fades, I´m back in the race
I have to fight it, I know
I don´t want to go away
In this quiet little place
You run your fingers through my hair and whisper "Hey"
And no matter how I try, I can´t seem to think of anything better to say
13. God in My Bed
efore last night my heart was grey
Like my country is today
Big kaleidoscope I see
A thousand people gaze at me
To break the ice I start to sing
About a cell called everything
A cell so big a word like small
Is suitable to say it all
Is the fighting over, I lost track
Like a wave it all comes back
Same kaleidoscope I see
Someone standing next to me
It´s hard to do, it´s hard to try
Hard to stop wondering why
Do I keep filing every case
When the answer´s on your face
You can´t see her but you do
Music is transparent too
So join me, sing with all your might
Hallelujah, praise tonight
Far away and long ago
Wintertime meant feeling low
Now every single star looks bright
God was in my bed last night
14. Winners
If I could put you in a frame, I´d draw you smiling
With a cigarette in your mouth and your hands reaching out for something
If I could, if I could wear all your clothes I´d still be different
And if I had your speaking voice I´d never whisper
I´d talk and talk and talk
We will be winners
Our heads glued together
And all is indefinite in you
Whatever you´ve been told
Don´t turn to God because you´re cold
Try the black one, white is nice
If you want blue, you´ll pay the price
Is there no room for us
I´ll make a space for us
We will be winners
Our heads glued together
And all is indefinite in you
Meet me in front of the room where we kissed
Where you changed me, estranged me
Where no one resists
Where I followed you, hollowed by you
We will be winners
Our heads glued together
And all is indefinite in you
We will be winners
We will be winners
