LYRICS

THE LAST TIME (lyrics by Kim)

look around!
what can you see?
are the others getting nearer?

hear the sound?
you gotta be...
...much quicker than all the others!

you try to be everywhere all the time
I can see no end in the stairs you climb

all these years pass you by
when was the last time
you gazed upon the sky
and felt the earth revolve?

what the hell?
did you miss?
was there something you should've been part of?

Never fell!
never ceased!
never lost a breath to this world!

you try to be everywhere all the time
standing still is for you the utmost crime

all these years pass you by
when was the last time
you gazed upon the sky
when was the...

last time you felt the earth revolve under your feet
last time you felt your lovers heart beat?


DUMB ANGEL (lyrics by Kim)

met you only couple of times
never shared any words
but you left an impression of a tranquil and happy man

now that we’ll never meet again
you left us speechless you left us dumb

why do the best of us have to leave us first?
it seems like worst irony - like a curse

so thin is the cord that chains our soul
in this cruel and shattered world
so thin is the cord that chains our soul
so easily it breaks apart

why do the best have to leave us
why do the rest have to witness it all?


ALL THE WAY (lyrics by Kim)

I see children at play with their eyes glowing out of joy
they concentrate only on what they’re doing at the very moment

I see parents nearby watching their dreams that came true
everyday is like a journey in the shoulders of eternity

why do we always have to live for the future
live for something that may never come
why do we always have to make it then break it?

all the way all the way
we wanna do it all the way

I see my friends in vain trying to fill the emptiness in their lives
with brief moments of excitement and joy

I see myself in pain trying to reach every place
and see in every minute a glimpse of eternity

the higher we go
the lower we'll find ourselves at the end
the more we think we know
the more there is to learn my friend

all the way all the way
we wanna do it all the way
we wanna rush right into the center of this play!


CARRY MY FEARS (lyrics by Kim and Mikael)

I leave my burdens at your feet
can't carry them anymore
I feel my fears catching up on me
please hold me in your arms
they show no mercy anymore - I cannot move
there's no strength left in this human shell
my dried-up soul is longing for fresh water

and just when I thought I'd be lost...

further than the west is from the east
you will carry my fears away
further than the beauty is from the beast
you will carry my fears away

the things I am hiding from
always find me at the worst moment
revenge will surely come
I'm paying the high price for my past mistakes!

and just when I thought I'd be lost...

further than the west is from the east
you will carry my fears away
further than sorrow is from a feast
you will carry my fears away

Higher than the sky is from the earth
like a wind you blow them away
like death is from the birth
you will carry…

my fears away so far away
that anything's possible
for us today for us today
anything!


G.A.M.E. (lyrics by Kim)

once it felt so vast
since then I've hidden in its filthy corners million times
once I thought it would last
the eternal flame was blown out by the silent rhymes
once - now it's all past

stars
written in the stars
that shifted places and slit open the sky
and left it seamed with scars
written in the scars
which once united us is now tearing us apart

remember how I used to tell her
whole nature was a manifestation of our love
the distance lost it’s meaning
time halted just to admire us
bright future was shining high up in the…

stars
written in the stars
that shifted places and slit open the sky
and left it seamed with scars
written in the scars
which once united us is now tearing us apart

we're on a game where nobody is winning
it's all the same - fate is always grinning to us

go and make enemies


TWO WAYS TO BE TOGETHER (lyrics by Kim)

we share the same that never ends
yet we have it only a certain amount
you give me more than you can never take
yet I feel like losing it
yet I count every grain that falls

oh let the sun beam down upon your face
I'll just hide behind these shadows of the midnight

just like the moon needs sun to shine
I need you to be mine
we have our own space - we have our time
but we need to get them entwined
to dissolve the border - to break these walls

we have two ways to be together
two ways to reach out for the sky
side by side

blinded by your beauty
enlightened by your face
I crawl back into my hiding place

there's no right or wrong
just like yin and yang
we circle around each other on and on
there's no right or wrong
just when you thought I’m gone
I’m at your heels
there's a little part of us in everyone


MOCK DEATH (lyrics by Kim)

I’m feelin so warm inside
guess I must be just having heart-burn
the first rays of spring tickle my nose
and it makes me wanna scratch my skin off

they say I should be feeling well
instead I’m facing my own hell…

enclose me in your secret garden
enchant me with your flowers’ scent
your kiss burns like a snakebite - can’t find my way out
somehow I feel this was bound to happen

they say I should be feeling well
the sun would melt the icy shell…

what if all these stagnant thoughts I wore
held me in place like a dam
and whole nature’s born again
just to mock how dead I am

he was at my age when he died


INCOMPLETE (lyrics by Kim)

am I ready for this world
am I ready to look in the mirror
am I ready to face another day?

it’s never over
something’s always missing from the lot
we have to be satisfied with the incomplete

am I ready to meet you there
am I… what if you just don’t care?
hey I know I’m never ready and that’s exactly why
I give it try

like a river flows
crawls its way through almost everything
like a tree that grows
reaching for the light but
never touching the sun!

it’s never over
something’s always missing from the lot
we have to be satisfied with the incomplete

building the tower
we never reach to the top
we never reach where the earth and heaven meet
never reach the complete!


PERPETUUM MOBILE (lyrics by Kim and Wikipedia)

groundbreaking news struck the world of science
something which the great leaders have always known
the ever moving machine was discovered already
thousands of years ago

the only perpetual motion
is the stupidity of mankind
it crawls - spreads like a virus
it dwells in masses - ignorant minds

that’s right!

BREAKOUT (lyrics by Jukka)

every day's exactly the same
whole day
hoping that tomorrow will come
and make it all worth while
every night the dream stays the same
whole night
in the morning you've had enough
it's about time you break out

love is just another trap
it's a burden you can't shake off
it's like sleeping wide awake

keep your dream but count me out
kiss this cheek, I'm gone with the breeze

it's a new world in a brand new time
it's the best fun you've had a while
but we know you're coming back

CAUGHT BETWEEN (lyrics by Kim)

that night was so cold and windy
there was no snow in the ground
it was darker than we'd ever seen
clouds drifted past the crescent moon

only the wet streets reflected artificial lights
as we found a crowded bar
people came in, people went out
the door to our fate was equally ajar

that night we saw…

Hell sinkin’
by the weight of our souls
Heaven risin’
and we were caught somewhere between

it was all the same to us
didn’t know whether to laugh or cry
just wanted to forget it all
wanted to get high

there was a sign on the wall but we wanted to be sure
‘cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
we thought it had something to do with music
but it turned out to be our whiskey and life

MODERN DAY INNOCENCE (lyrics by Kim)

no such aphrodisiac, no such water proof turn-on
search for the innocent and you'll find the home of hardcore porn

da vinci knew my lady is a virgin only by her name
stravinsky knew how fun it is to bid farewell to someone who just came

welcome to the modern day innocence
when you've seen it all but haven't done it yourself
welcome to tomorrow's innocence
when you did it all…
but didn't feel a thing!

little girls in stripper clothes, surgeon sharp business strategies
modern jack's - instead of throats - ripping melodies

you search for something that you haven’t done before
and once you do it, once so alluring turns into a bore

why don't you go and kill yourself
cause it must be the only thing in which you are still a virgin
