circuit
let me take your hand
let's see how far we get before you lose me
you are the play man
my counterpart unless you go and choose me
let me take your hand
and silence you before you start carousing me
let us play this game
the one where I pretend to let you use me
you're using me, you're using me!
let me take care of this
see, I know more than you about defeat
I can make it smooth for you
make us both blame me in the end
the end.

eyewitness
hole hole big hole no whole big nothing
see people see movement see world nothing
need need need need need need nothing
just be my eyewitness
be my loving eyewitness
see my sadness
endure my happiness
touch my border
make me visible
smoke kiss laugh cry swallow need nothing
three years six years ten years hold nothing
just be my eyewitness
be my loving eyewitness
see my sadness
endure my happiness
touch my border
make me visible
see me see me don't look see nothing

can u take this
can u take this
can u swallow
can u live this so long
long enough to hold on
can u take this
can u swallow
can u breathe this
can u live this
long enough to let go
can u take this
can u take this

struggle
it’s hard, this life, for the little hu man
her arms so short, her vision narrow
it’s hard, this life, for the little hu man
knowing, but not knowing, having, but not having, needing, but not needing
to live like a prayer
have a glimpse of expansion, little darling hu man
have a peek, although she might not get there
to the future existence of the larger hu man
close enough to knowing, close enough to living, close enough to loving
to live like a prayer

deeper
I can’t wait can’t wait I’m running up the stairs
feeling my heart beat
smiling my joy flooding for you
I can’t wait to show you who I am
deeper and deeper
can’t wait can’t wait there’s nothing like this
my stomach is turning
want to see you want to hold you
before I cut the chord and show you who I am
deeper deeper deeper deeper deeper
deeper
deeper down
it’s all or nothing
don’t let me down now
don’t overwhelm me
don’t be my shadow
la evolución últimamente terminando en un dulce
el crescendo, un toque, algo profundo y profundo
act like me don’t act like me whatever you do don’t be like me don’t be my shadow
hello
young soldier
don’t get
into the groove
don’t reckon
life will last
living inside
this load is heavy
deeper
deeper down
it’s all or nothing
don’t let me down now
og når vi kommer ned
så er jeg der igjen
deeper deeper down

will you love
the moment you enter the room you forget what you came for
the face in the mirror is not your own
this mask is talking to you and its words are appealing
but you don’t believe they apply to you
will you love?
she’s trying, she is trying so hard to make you understand
this face in the mirror she’s talking too loud
this mask is yelling at you and its words are compelling
but you don’t want to wear it to make them proud
will you love?
and those eyes
those eyes are watching your eyes
your eyes are searching those eyes
those eyes are loathing you
will you love?

china
come out
this is how I feel: like I’m treading on china
and there’s something I might break
if you say the wrong words,
if you give me the wrong look,
I’m afraid I might break
just like in that dream I am working undercover,
trying hard to hold my breath
but see, I’m the ballroom queen,
I can dance upon the china
if I only hold my breath
so I’m playing you carefully like a cobweb guitar
so I’m playing you carefully like a soap bubble piano
to make the right music come out
to make the sweetest lullaby
to make the right music come out
to make the sweetest song in life come out
tiptoe, tiptoe, see I’m avoiding your gaze,
it’s the bright shining expression of love I seek,
tiptoe, tiptoe, so hard to pinpoint my ways,
you never know where I’ll be waiting for you next
try to kiss me and I stab you from behind try to trust your step I pull the floor away try to hold me close and tell me you’ll be mine try harder and I sure as hell won’t wait
don’t try to mend me it’s too late
so I’m playing you carefully like a cobweb guitar
so I’m playing you carefully like a soap bubble piano
to make the right music come out ...

the climb
ready to take you dancing
see here these arms of mine ready to pull you up
here I am making up a path following the dotted line
passing doors wide open
think I might hear a bird ready to show the way
here I am making up the years breathing circulated air
leaving branches waving
denying what I leave undone
unpredictable unbridled unattainable deceptive
/ because I’m ready to take you dancing
boundless reviving contagious promising higher
/ think I’m ready to take you higher
take one day at the time tearing the pages out
take your time making up the score
never mind the mystery of a mindless journey
leaving innocence behind
unpredictable ...
been waiting for years now coming outside
is it possible to get two wishes should I be looking for the same thing twice
unpredictable unbridled unattainable deceptive boundless reviving contagious promising higher
see now this body here is ready to take you dancing
back to top
fall
let me fall into this
this my home
into this
take a plunge into the deep
arresting time in my leap
let me fall into this
this my home
into this
tumble 'round inside the deep
until I fall asleep
don't mind me falling asleep
let me fall asleep
this world of beauty
it wins me over
wins me back to what I thought was lost for good
a world of beauty in me
and my being ready
to wipe the darkness off my mind
this world of reason
it had me going
kept me away from pearls I thought were illusion
'cause it's a world of sorrow
and though I won't let it destroy me
I never take it off my mind
let me fall ...
you win me over
you are my reason
you even out the darkness and the blinding light
I can't control it
I cannot grasp it
but I can keep it in my mind
let me fall ...
