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

                                                      back to top


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

                                                      back to top


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?

                                                      back to top


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 ...

                                                      back to top


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 ...
