Satisfaction And Desire
03:51

All I want is to want something so bad
All I got is more than I ever had
And the dreams I used to have just scare me now
Or came true, and then got lost somehow
I’m on the middle ground between
Satisfaction and desire, numb and tired
Satisfaction and desire, give me fire
Like a punishment, or a safety net
You can’t be disappointed with something you never had
And never wanted, you can only blame yourself
Like something stuck for years at lost-and-found
I’m on the middle ground between
Satisfaction and desire, numb and tired
Satisfaction and desire, give me fire
Satisfaction and desire, numb and tired
Satisfaction and desire, give me fire
’Cause I can not move forward without having to look back
With nothing left to run from, seems I stay right where I’m at
I can not move forward without having to look back
With nothing left to run from
I always need something to run from
I’m on the middle ground between
Satisfaction and desire, numb and tired
Satisfaction and desire, give me fire
Satisfaction and desire, numb and tired
Satisfaction and desire, give me fire

Chasing Yesterday Today

Last night I found you hiding somewhere in my head
I thought that you were dead
But there you were
I must admit it scared me first to realize
That to my own surprise
These drugs don't work
So I need a new solution
For cleaning up this mess
Get rid of this pollution from the past
At last
Sometimes I wake up dreading what the day may bring
If not a song to sing
Then back to sleep again
So I need a new solution
For cleaning up this mess
Get rid of this illusion of a past
At last
And dream again at night about tomorrow
Instead of chasing yesterday today
I wanna dream again at night about tomorrow
Instead of chasing yesterday today
So I need a new solution
For cleaning up this mess
Get rid of this pollution from the past
Yeah I need a new solution
For cleaning up this mess
Get rid of this illusion of a past
At last

Let You Down Easy

If you want me to let you down easy, I can’t
I don’t know if you’re better of here than I am
Please don’t ask me to hold back, don’t ask me a thing
‘Cause my heart is full of places I can’t reach
I was once like you are, just as sweet and naïve
With the mind of a child, and ears of a thief
Used to stay unaware of closing doors and misery
Now my heart is full of places I can’t reach
At the moment our eyes met
I felt regret for what was coming
The inevitable end
of your sweet youth
Oh if I could break these chains
I’d send you running
But I can’t deny myself the opportunity
for you to share this weight with me
All is selfish don’t you see
It’s not just me
There’s just no selfless deeds
So if you want me to let you down easy I can’t

No Man's Land

Come on in and leave the cold outside
In here you’ll feel much better
When no-one out there really seems to care
Your smile to me is all that matters
When no-one out there really seems to care
I want to be there for you
Come on in and leave the world outside
It’s only getting colder
It doesn’t really matter what you do
So don’t let it take you over
It doesn’t really matter what you do
I want to be there for you
‘Cause out there things are so divided
Impossible to comprehend
But you and I won’t be misguided
We are here in no man’s land
Come on in and bring your worried mind
And I’ll try to help you ease it
Come on in and bring your worried mind
And I will try to help you ease it

Something In The Night

There’s something in the night that draws me
There’s something about the dark that suits me
Let me go, I’ll be alright
Let me go now, out of sight
‘Cause I want to disappear
Disappear into the night
I don’t want to cast a shadow anymore
Can’t stop looking for an answer
I’ll stop looking for the light
I don’t want to fight these shadows anymore
There’s something in the dark beside me
It’s something I can feel that I can’t see
Let me know that you’re alright
Let me know and ease my mind
‘Cause I want to disappear
Disappear into the night
I don’t want to cast a shadow anymore
Can’t stop looking for an answer
I’ll stop looking for the light
I don’t want to fight these shadows anymore
Any other time for sure, but not tonight
I just need another hour from the light
Any other time for sure, but not tonight
Any other time, any other time
Any other time, any other time
‘Cause I want to disappear
Disappear into the night
I don’t want to cast a shadow anymore
Can’t stop looking for an answer
I’ll stop looking for the light
I don’t want to fight these shadows anymore
