Wish you well
So helpless, so distressed
Give me some sleep, some rest
Some drugs, some poison to forget
It took a while to grow inside you
And kill it all in a heartbeat or two
The vision of a nightmare come true
When the rain begins to fall, I cry
And I wish you were here
I stare through my open window
It doesn’t matter where you go
Heaven or hell, I wish you well
You hoped, you feared, you prayed
You wouldn’t tell a soul you were scared
And you tried so hard, so hard, so lat
You lived in a vacuum for so long
‘Till you found out where you belonged
You finally found out where you belonged
When the rain begins to fall, I cry
And I wish you were here
I stare through my open window
It doesn’t matter where you go
I have drowned all my sorrows
Heaven or hell, I wish you well
When the rain begins to fall, I cry
And I wish you were here
I stare through my open window
It doesn’t matter where you go
Heaven or hell, I wish you well

A perfect day
What a strange looking scene
It looks like somewhere I’ve been
Where the haze plays along with the shades
And it brings back memories
From the past 7 years
Though it seems like yesterday
Was it real, was it a dream
That I had when I kneeled
Before the shadows of a perfect day?
It’s so odd to be here
What happened to my fears?
Neither the day, nor the night goes astray
Every word, every second
Makes sense to me
Did I escape from reality?
Did I cry, did I laugh
When the spirit of love
Took me through this perfect day?
Please soothe my soul
Make love shine on me
Respect who I am
Set me free
What a strange looking scene
It looks like somewhere I’ve been
Where the haze plays along with the shades
Is it real, is it a dream
That I have when I kneel?
A perfect day, a perfect day
A perfect day, a perfect day

Going nowhere
Tell me a story, a lie or something
Pretend that you care
Show me that you’re there
Open your heart and your soul, it’s coming
Where do you stand?
Come on give me your hand
Reach out
It’s not that far away
Scream, shout
Let it all out some way
You’re sliding back to the wasteland
You’re going nowhere (going nowhere)
Going nowhere at all
You’re going nowhere (going nowhere)
Going nowhere, nowhere
It’s all there for you, so what, what will you do
When it’s in your blood
And you turn to mud?
Cold, deep, dark, oh no, there’s nothing new
You were there before
So why ignore?
It’s like a beast you feed with your own life
Come back to me
I will open my arms
Reach out
It’s not that far away
Scream shout
Let it all out some way
You’re sliding back to the wasteland

Breathe
If you get to feel the guilt
Behind the walls that you have built
Around you
If you’re silently screaming
And the rage is still rising
Inside you
If you hold on so tightly
To every God you wanna be
If your head is sore and heavy
And your body has gone lazy
Breathe
Free your mind, tonight
Breathe
By my side, it’s all right
It’s all right
Is it why you dress in black?
Does it translate your own lack
Of affection?
Why refrain from hoping
And accept this ever growing
Domination?
If you’re eclipsed by the moon
Hidden behind a veil of gloom
If you know your time will come soon
And the ghosts are haunting your room
If you get to feel the guilt
Behind the walls that you have built
Break them down
Break them down

Stay
Each time you close the door
Like a bracket
I sink into the depths
Of my ever-increasing loneliness
My world has turned into a field of dust
And I feel like a flower
Wilted by too many goodbyes
Don’t let me go away
The silence screams what I can’t say
And I pray, and I pray, yes I pray
For you to say
Stay
Don’t tell me anymore what could have been
What we’re missing, all of these things
The ifs and buts and in-betweens
Obsession, illusion, desillusion
I’m dying like a faithful widow expecting
Something that never comes

May this day never end
Now we’re free to wander and walk whichever way
Open the palm of desire in no limited way
We know it, you and I, it won’t leave us unhurt
But one thing at a time, cause time flies like a bird
Let’s hide all negatives, pretend we don’t see them
Long live the wrongs, we’re thieves,
It’s our off-day, our requiem
And if I were a believer, I’d pray
And in my unsatisfied prayer, I’d say
May this day never end, may this day never end
Oh please, baby, please, take me to your world
Take me where we won’t pretend
Reach out and take my hand
Oh please, baby, please, take me to your world
Let’s walk on the warm sand
And may this day never end, never end, never end
Take me out of the pit, don’t leave me holding on
Brains and hearts are split, let’s do it, let’s move on
We know it you and I, it won’t wipe out our fears
I’m reading them through your smile
And I’ll read them in your tears
But today we’re together and together we’re strong
So long live the pleasure of this one day
Where we belong
And if I were a believer, I’d pray
And in my unsatisfied prayer, I’d say
May this day never end, may this day never end
May this day never end, may this day never end
Never end, never end, never end, never end

Not always (what it seems to be)
In my world, there’s no despair
Everything matters so much when you care
If the sound of chaos rings in your dreams
Come with me, life’s not always what it seems
To be, to me
Second step, you’ve made your move
You grab my hand, I feel the groove
You hold me tight and kiss me gently
Stay with me, love’s not always what it seems
To be, to me
Worlds are apart, don’t look behind
Keep moving on, keep walking blind
You hear my voice and follow me
Lay with me, trust’s not always what it seems
To be, to me
And if you’re smitten with remorse
When your start collecting awards
For being so good in your life
Just let them go
I’ll let you run if you want me to
I’ll break the chains, sure I will do
But right now, please, close your eyes
Let yourself go
In my world, there’s no despair
Everything matters so much ‘cos you care
Chaos is omnipresent in your dreams
Come back to me, only for what it seems
To be, to me
Let yourself go, let yourself go
Let yourself go, let yourself go

Puzzled
I’ve left in silence
But I feel your presence
Although I am not there
I breathe for you
A sudden wave of cold
Some stories never told
A feeling of despair
Came out from you
I’m breathtakingly charmed
So desperate and unarmed
Although you are human
I’ve glorified you
I have played the fool
I’ve broken my own rule
I want to have more fun
To share with you
I want to feel your touch
(it’s a burning desire)
I want to make you blush
(my body is on fire)
I want to kiss the skin
All over you
Why may I not make love to you?
And why not even kiss you?
My most devilish sin
Belongs to you
Now do I have to try
And forget you?

High on love
Come with me tonight
For utmost pleasure and delight
Free your soul and don’t pretend
Be yourself again
Let the passion heal the pain
Breathe your spirit into mine
Breathe your spirit into mine
I am high on love
Every touch of yours is emphasized
My heart and soul are hypnotized
I feel completely eroticized
In the heat of the night
I feel a fire burn inside
You and I are only one
And it doesn’t matter
For the worst or the better
You send me shivers down the spine
You send me shivers down the spine

Blues song
You wake up very early
Grasp a few cups of coffee
After a while your day begins
In a wild ocean of sins
And you dance
And you sing
Alone
In this dark place of your own
That you turned into your home
You sit there lonely every night
Writing songs by the moonlight
But suddenly the tide has turned
And a piece of your heart got burnt
A broken heart full of grace
Another scar on your face
Sometimes, somewhere
You’ll call my name and I’ll be there
Nothing can tear our love apart
You have been tattooed on my heart
Now you reside inside my dreams
I can hear your laughs and screams
Of course I know you can’t be mine
But I fall silent every time

Maybe
It was a dream
Now the night is ending
And the morning’s rising
Over a reality without you
And I will open my eyes
And realise that you’re not gone
Right now I know
That I have always been alone
It was a dream
I can’t get out of
It enslaves my soul
Assailing each and every thought of mine
Maybe, Maybe
Maybe, Maybe
I can’t believe
It was just a dream
Yet I still can feel
The caress of your hands over my skin
How to forget, oh how to forget?
When I still can breathe
The smell of your skin
Now it’s floating in my head
How to forget?
Oh tell me how to forget!
The smile you see
Is nothing but a new scar on my face
Maybe, maybe
Maybe, maybe

Gone
I’m in here alone
Talking to you
But you’re gone
I am walking blind
Your sweet voice is
Haunting my mind
My eyes won’t dry out
I’m going insane
It will never be the same again
I’m in here alone
Our dream is dead
You’re gone
