Where the moon never sets


Unravel

when you said everybody survives you touched my face, packing up in a hurry i will never forgive you that smile you were trying so hard to look sorry i can still feel your kiss on my cheek asked you why but i doubt that you heard me all your words came out sounding cheap you were trying so hard not to hurt me now the sun is stuck high in the sky no more places to travel and i wish i could break down and cry but i stay desert dry and slowly

so slowly unravel slowly unravel to do tododo slowly unravel so slowly unravel

i could see you were ready to fly lose your smile and drop your pretenses couldn’t wait to get out of my life and walk straight into somebody else’s once we sailed on the blue Milky Way now it's potholes and gravel in my dreams i could wish you away but i stay wide awake and slowly

so slowly unravel slowly unravel to do tododo slowly unravel so slowly unravel

and i wish i could fall through the fire all the way to the devil but instead i’m a tight ball of wire and i slowly, so slowly

so slowly unravel slowly unravel to do tododo slowly unravel so slowly unravel


In my head

So many things are not allowed In my head So many things will hurt my brain Sometimes I will let only clouds In my head But only those that never rain

Sometimes I like to make things true In my head And even I will find them strange But all I want is having you In my head And I’m afraid that this won’t change

A fantasy that I let grow In my head An evergreen exotic tree And everything is sweet and slow In my head The only way that things can be A secret place that I can go In my head A secret place for you and me

I make it true with magic spells In my head There’s not a thing that’s out of bounds There’s you and me and nothing else In my head Except when I let in some clouds


Grey

Grey is the colour you choose for your clothes The colour of both your highs and lows Your old winter scarf that’s starting to fray And when I think of you I see grey

Grey is what gets me through most of my days The memories of you and your little ways I store them in me like an ice cube tray And when I dream of you it’s in grey

Thinking of you makes me sigh out loud It feels like a fall through a thunder cloud A maze of raindrops, a blurry view That’s what it’s like when I think of you

Grey is the only comforting word The only hope to be part of your world I’ll give up the sun, every single ray Waiting for you to colour me grey I’ll give up the sun, every single ray Waiting for you to colour me grey


Millions out there

When I die, there’ll be millions out there turning off their light Not because of my death but because it’ll be night There’ll be millions out there with a catch in their breath At the sight of the stars, not the news of my death

When I’m gone, there’ll be heartbreak and tears flowing on Just because such is life, not because I’ll be gone There’ll be millions out there wearing black for a while Not to mourn me but simply to try a new style

Like I’ve never existed, the world will go on Never pausing to notice the fact that I’m gone All the years measured out to me on this earth Swept away to make room for another one’s birth

When I die, there’ll be millions out there turning off their light Not because of my death but because it’ll be night There’ll be millions out there with a catch in their breath At the sight of the stars, not the news of my death there’ll be millions out there


Pull down the moon

it's a hopeless case, there's no getting her but your fate is sealed, no forgetting her gave her all you had, nothing's reaching her it's the moon she wants, it's the witch in her

when you saw her eyes and the night in them took her phantoms in, never fighting them took her by the hand, cold and careless led her up the old creaky staircase

it's a narrow ledge where you're balancing looking down on her haunted palaces shut your eyes and know she will laugh at you she will never come close to loving you how insane it is, there’s no pleasing her pulling down the moon would be easier how insane it is, such a mystery but you touch the moon, hear it whispering

in her tangled hair stars are shimmering on the narrow ledge she is shivering arms around the moon, she will laugh with you it’s a hopeless case, she’s in love with you it's the moon she wants, it's the witch in her pulling down the moon would be easier it's the moon she wants, it's the witch in her pulling down the moon would be easier


Inside my vault

The rain will pound upon my door I don’t recall my life before Your passing smile when I felt so cold Became my code, my secret code

There’s no one else, it’s no one’s fault I’ll keep you safe inside my vault

The rain will hide your tracks and clues Suspended bars of autumn blues You are a chord where I won’t get to know A single note, a single note

There’s no one else, it’s no one’s fault I’ll keep you safe inside my vault

I will forgive you for taking my time I will forget you can’t be mine I’ll lose the fight and keep you on my mind

The rain will play an endless game It will dictate your terms again I’ll wear the love that I know I’ve missed Around my wrist, around my wrist

There’s no one else, it’s no one’s fault I’ll keep you safe inside my vault I’ll keep you safe inside my vault
