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 carusing 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
Make me visible
Make me visible
Hole,
hole, big hole, no whole, nothing
See people, see movement, see world, nothing
Need, need, need, need, need, need nothing
Eyewitness / Just be my eyewitness, be my loving eyewitness
My
loving eyewitness / See my sadness, endure my happiness
Touch my border, make me visible
Make me visible
Smoke,
kiss, laugh, cry, swallow
Need nothing
Three years, six years, ten years old, nothing
Just be my eyewitness, be my loving eyewitness
See
my sadness, endure my happiness
Touch my border, make me visible
Make me visible
Just be my eyewitness, be my loving eyewitness
See
my sadness, endure my happiness
Touch my border, make me visible
Make me visible
See me
Make me visible
See me
See me
Don't look, see nothing

Can You Take This
Can you take this
Can you swallow
Can you breathe this in
For long enough
To hold on
Can you take this
Can you swallow
Can you breathe this
Can you live this
Long enough
To let go
Go

Struggle (I & II)
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
Live like a prayer
To live like a prayer
Prayer
Have a glimpse of expansion, little darling hu-man
Have a peak, 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
Live like a prayer
To live like a prayer
Prayer
Close, close

Deeper
Deeper deeper down
Deeper deeper down
Deeper deeper down
I can't wait, I 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
Wanna see you, wanna hold you
Before I cut the cord and show you who I am
Deeper deeper deeper deeper...
Deeper deeper down - it's all or nothing
Deeper deeper down - don't let me down now
Deeper deeper down - don't overwhelm me
Deeper deeper down - don't be my shadow
La evolución ultimamente terminando en un dulce
el crescendo toque algo profundo y profundo y profundo...
Act like me, don't don't don't act like me
Whatever you do, don't be like me.
Don't be like me, don't be like me ... be my shadow
Whatever you do don't be like me
Don't be like me, don't be like me ... be my shadow
Hello, young soldier
Don't get into the groove
Don't reckon life will last
Living inside this load is heavy
Don't get into the groove,
Don't get into the groove,
Don't reckon – hello!
Hello, young soldier
Don't get into the groove
Don't reckon life will last
Living inside this load is heavy
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 is 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 your eyes
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
Yes, 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
Yes, I'm playing you carefully like a soap bubble
piano
Yes, I'm playing you carefully like a cobweb guitar
Yes, I'm playing you carefully like a soap bubble
piano
To make - to make the right music
To make the right - oh, the right music
To make the right - to make the right music
To make the right - to make the right music
To make the right music come out
To make the sweetest lullaby
To make the right music come out
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
To make the right music come out
To make the sweetest song in life
Come out

The Climb
Ready to take you dancing
Think I'm - think I'm 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
Leaving doors wide open
Think I might hear a bird
Ready to show the way
Here I am, making up for years
Breathing circulated air
Leaving branches waving
Denying what I leave undone
Unpredictable unbridled unattainable deceptive
Think I'm ready to take you dancing
boundless reviving contagious promising higher
Ready to take you higher
Unpredictable unbridled unattainable deceptive
Think I'm ready to take you dancing
boundless reviving contagious promising higher
Promising 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 unbridled unattainable deceptive ...
Think I'm ready to take you dancing ...
Waiting for years
High strung and sore
Is it possible to get two wishes?
Is it possible to get two wishes?
Should I be looking for the same thing twice?
Unpredictable unbridled unattainable deceptive
Unpredictable
boundless reviving contagious promising higher
Unattainable
Unpredictable unbridled unattainable deceptive
Contagious
boundless reviving contagious promising higher
Reviving
See, this body here's ready to take you dancing
See now, this body here's ready to take you dancing
See now, this body here's ready to take you dancing
Ready to take you dancing

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 - let me fall asleep
Don't mind me falling asleep - let me fall asleep
Let me fall asleep - let me fall
This world of beauty, it wins me over
It wins me back to what I thought was lost for good
A world of beauty in me, and my being ready
Enough to wipe the darkness off my mind
This world of reason, it had me going
Kept me away from pearls I thought were illusion
Sure it's a world of sorrow, and though I won't let it destroy me
I still won't take it off my mind
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 - let me fall asleep
Don't mind me falling asleep - let me fall asleep
Let me fall asleep - let me fall asleep
You win me over
You are my reason
You even out the darkness and the blinding light
I can't control this, cannot grasp it
But I can keep it in my mind
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 - let me fall asleep
Don't mind me falling asleep - let me fall asleep
Let me fall asleep - let myself let go
Let me fall asleep
