The Fence

White clouds falling silently to the ground

As a dense veil before the sun

Your words are said with a pleasant voice

But all I can hear is noise

Skip all the endless pleasantries

They're hollow and absurd

I'm trying to get through to you

But I'm not sure what you heard

We're stuck on different sides of the old fence

Can barely see your silhouette

Through this slatted fence

Each and every word is said

But it is all in vain

Forever divided by this fence

Our thoughts interfered by our flashing palms

Only to keep us calm

The time was now, but it's gone away

The end of another day

Skip all the endless pleasantries

They're hollow and absurd

I'm trying to get through to you

But I'm not sure what you heard

We're stuck on different sides of the old fence

Can barely see your silhouette

Through this slatted fence

Each and every word is said

But it is all in vain

Forever divided by this fence

Rome 

I heard the heavens drumming on my car

When I saw his worn-out shoes

He was rambling on his way

Tried to escape with his abuse

Crying out his final plea

Please bring me to Rome

With my very first step I started

The walk to my resting place

Tried to create some meaning

But soon I'm gone without a trace

Doesn’t matter what I do

I'm going to Rome

If your luck is as good as mine

You can choose which way to go

And we can choose to see the beauty

To get a glimpse of what's down the line

But no matter what I do

I’m going to Rome

Ain't nothing I can do

I'm coming home

They say all roads lead to Rome

But the city's never full

STORYLINE MANIA

He smells the rain as he opens the door

But just before

He gets to the core

Of what he's done

And how he will be judged

This little voice

This little voice

This little voice

From the backseat pulls him out of his thought

The thin straight arrow

Pierced our crania

Leaving us with this storyline mania

Who I was

Who I am

Who I'll be at the end

Who I was

Who I am

Who I'll be at the end

He's too ambitious to go with the flow

Now he's walking cold

Slow through the snow

Lives in the future forgets about right now

(While) Some young dude

Some young dude

Some young dude

He remembers pulls him out of his thought

The thin straight arrow

Pierced our crania

Leaving us with this storyline mania

Who I was

Who I am

Who I'll be at the end

Who I was

Who I am

Who I'll be at the end

Who I was

Who I am

Who I'll be at the end

Who I was

Who I am

Who I'll be at the end

The thin straight arrow

Pierced our crania

Leaving us with this storyline mania

Who I was

Who I am

Who I'll be at the end

Who I was

Who I am

Who I'll be at the end

Who I was

Who I am

Who I'll be at the end

Who I was

Who I am

Who I'll be at the end

WAVE OF CHANCE

A reflection in the window

Didn't recognize myself

Walking over shattered glass

Without a sound

I don't know if and when

I need to dodge that fireball

Still someone's smiling all the way through

They never came around the world

They just reached the sea

The sea is wide, the boat is small

And now it's drifting with the wind

They don't know if and when

The water will come through

They say gravity's constant but I doubt that's true

So you think this is your destiny

Or are we just playing in the lottery

Is it sane to keep the rationality

If we just ride the wave of chance

So you think this is your destiny

Or are we just playing in the lottery

Is it sane to keep the rationality

If it's just a random ride on the wave of chance

Now I thought it was through hard work

And my attitude

My neighbor had it coming

Oh, all the stones I threw

But as I looked behind the curtain

It was finally confirmed

Pure luck was disguised as something I'd earned

So you think this is your destiny

Or are we just playing in the lottery

Is it sane to keep the rationality

If we just ride the wave of chance

So you think this is your destiny

Or are we just playing in the lottery

Is it sane to keep the rationality

If it's just a random ride on the wave of chance

FIESTA FOR MY FAILURE

It's been pouring down

Raining on and off for years

It's all been cats and dogs

Always ending up with enemies

Thought it would be easy

But always ending in frontiers

Been told off for bad behavior

Better make it a fiesta for my failure

Tried to make it happen

Been looked down upon by peers

Climbing up the ladder

But somehow ended up downstairs

Never getting credit

But could have been a pioneer

Been told off for bad behavior

Better make it a fiesta for my failure

Never getting credit

But could have been a pioneer

Been told off for bad behavior

Better make it a fiesta

Been told off for bad behavior

Better make it a fiesta

Been told off for bad behavior

Better make it a fiesta for my failure

CHAOS CLOWN

When I cried

I want to find

The land outside

You answered reluctantly

You'll never see

Beyond the maze we crafted

You had it for a fraction of a second

Like missing memories from a distant dream

We all make up a meaning to find a common ground

We build our own constructions

But nothing can be found

We don't share our inner feelings

All afraid to be let down

I may think I'm someone special

But I'm just a chaos clown

Some thought he was a loony

Some said he was a genius

In fact he was imprisoned

Fled by a step of madness

You had it for a fraction of a second

Like missing memories from a distant dream

We all make up a meaning to find a common ground

We build our own constructions

But nothing can be found

We don't share our inner feelings

All afraid to be let down

I may think I'm someone special

But I'm just a chaos clown

Just a chaos clown

WAITING FOR A CHANGE

Sit with my legs tucked underneath

The blanket covering my feet

Like a feeling I can't meet

I should have packed my bag

But haven't even raised a flag

Or a finger it makes my body numb

Sit here waiting for a change

Sit here waiting for a change

But nothing happens

Nothing happens

Sit here waiting for a change

Sit here waiting for a change

But nothing happens

I guess I know this isn't right

But feeling paralyzed

This guilt won't make a sound

I drown the truth with noise

It's more than I can cope

Too much is not enough

Sit here waiting for a change

Sit here waiting for a change

But nothing happens

Nothing happens

Sit here waiting for a change

Sit here waiting for a change

But nothing happens

The yellow roses follow me

The yellow roses follow me

The yellow roses follow me

The yellow roses follow me

(Quite daily ya, Black Dahlia)

The yellow roses follow me

(Quite daily ya, Black Dahlia)

The yellow roses follow me

(Quite daily ya, Black Dahlia)

The yellow roses follow me

(Quite daily ya, Black Dahlia)

The yellow roses follow me

(Quite daily ya, Black Dahlia)

DODECAHEDRON

Want your attention

Keep looking into

The dodecahedron

It could be you

In the age of dodecahedron

With brains just like flies

With no intention to offend you

But the smartest fly is still a fly

Now are you ready

For what you have in store

The future meets present

Did we ask for more?

In the age of dodecahedron

With brains just like flies

With no intention to offend you

But the smartest fly is still a fly

In the age of dodecahedron

With brains just like flies

With no intention to offend you

But the smartest fly is still a fly

GLIMMERING DARK

I'm stuck in here

Can't see no way out

Stuck in here

The walls are closing in

Stuck in here

Boxed in this railroad car

You may see me moving

But I'm stuck to the rails

A small ray

A small ray

A small ray of light

Stuck in here

Boxed in this railroad car

A small ray

A small ray

A small ray of light

The sunset

The sunset

The sunset

The sunset

The sunset

ALARMS

Can I stay here for a while

I'm sorry I came alone

Dear baby brother

Couldn't hear my words

My sisters are all gone

They were sitting in their home

No alarms to warn them

To warn them

I'm ok, but they are not with me

I'm ok, but with my memories

I'm ok in others’ company

All alone

I'm tired I've walked for days

Can barely feel my feet

Longing for the fire

I wish they all were here

I'm sorry I came alone

But you see they are all gone

And I can't go home

I'm ok, but they are not with me

I'm ok, but with my memories

I'm ok in others’ company

All alone

WHAT IS NOT

Trying to approach what is not

Without making it something that is

Trying to approach what is not

Without making it something that is

Trying to understand what it is

Trying to understand all this

Don't know where we're going

Now won't you open up?

Don't know where we're going

Now won't you open up?

While digging deeper to explore

The ground itself transformed

While digging deeper to explore

The ground itself transformed

Trying to understand what it is

Don't know where we're going

Now won't you open up?

Don't know where we're going
