When the time is running out

Begging you to let it out

Saying I don’t want to stay

I saw you staring at the door

When I told you I was sure

You’d leave like you did before

 

You used to walk all night

Trying to live around the memories and the ruins

And I was hoping to find

A victory over time lost in your attitude

You would put your eyes on mine saying I don’t want to lose

And I would save you from the fires that burst into your soul

 

After years gone on the roads

Trying to revisit your own

You would learn to disappear

I was hoping at your side

I would learn to know the why

Of this silence that you fear

 

But the time is running out saying I don’t want to stay

Begging you to let it out saying I don’t want to stay

 

And I don’t mind the angels

Building burning castles around my yesterdays

And I don’t mind if you chose

To give in to the rules you refused all the way

How I tried to hold the time

But the time was never mine

 

Do you see us all now

Trying to move around in this world that you owned?

Do you see us all now?

Do you see us all now?

Do you see us all now?

 

But the time is running out saying I don’t want to stay

Still the time is running out saying I don’t want to stay

And the time is running out saying I don’t want to stay

Still the time is running out saying I don’t want to stay

 

To the shadows of your past

To the dreams that never last

What you’re gonna say?

See my world is coming now

To a point I don’t know how

I would want to stay

Just call me,

If you stand in the dark end

You don’t see the lights and

The colours on your way

Just call me,

If you stand in the cold now

You’ve got no one to hold now

But shadows on your way

 

Just tell me,

If you long to believe in

The stories and the love scenes

We never got to play

Just call me,

Cause you’ve started to fall now

Let the changes unfold now

And carry you away

 

We’ll follow the nights and we’ll dance to the moonlight

Pretty soon child we’ll find a way into this shadow play

And with your lights in

With your lights in

With your lights in

I’ll be gone with your love and the wind

 

Just call me now,

If you think it’s all over

Life is a back cover

The stories have been told

But I give you my word

We’ll take all the fevers

And wherever we roam

Emotions will be all

We’ll be ever after

In the moves of a dancer,

In the moons of a summer

When we vowed to the world

We would live forever

 

We’ll follow the nights and we’ll dance to the moonlight

Pretty soon child we’ll find a way into this shadow play

With your lights in

With your lights in

With your lights in

I’ll be gone with your love and the wind

 

So call me,

Before we get older

Before we learn better

To hide ourselves away

 

You can live, you can breathe

Running ahead, I’ll be a station on your way

You can live, you can breathe

Touching the sky

But you just can’t overwrite

You can live, you can breathe

Touching the sky

But you cannot overwrite me

They began to leave the shores

Reconciled with the winds

They began to open doors

To their fears and beliefs

And all and all they’re waging wars

With the shadows within

They’re praying to the stars

I don’t know why

 

They began to ride the storms

Taming the void with their wings

They keep fighting for the one

They had seen in their dreams

And some they’re falling from the sky

I remember the scene

And some they fly on by

I don’t know why

 

I see shadows all around

Can you hear me anyone?

I see the night and the sun

Fighting on the edge of dawn

On others’ wings I have flown

Trying to live along the run

I wonder what I have done

To be stumbling on the ground

 

They begin to draw the lines

Shaping the clouds on their way

Crafting out the perfect sky

Where you wanted to stay

They offer you to rise, where your beauty lies

And tell the people walking by

That I’ll be leaning on the sky

Until I’m living in

And I’ll be flying on and on

To be the Simorgh that I want,

The one I’ve ever seen

I am praying to the stars

I don’t know why

 

I see shadows all around

Can you hear me anyone?

I see the night and the sun

Fighting on the edge of dawn

In others’ dreams I have grown

Trying to live along the run

But now the time it has come

To be flying on my own

Beyond my borders

Will I stay

All the way

Upon your shoulders?

There is a life ahead

If I can hold your hand

The light for which I stand

Will be bright later

I’ve seen the grace

On each of your faces

When fears were all dancing around us

But you wouldn’t confess

And do you hear the voices

Defeating empty spaces?

They call out for a life to be told

And go where the night is going

 

There is no skies ahead

No comfort in the sand

Tell me lies later

 

I heard you calling

To wake me from a dream

Where lights inviting

Ain’t what it seems

Wherever you roam

Wherever the night falls

There’s always a light to behold

In the mist of your soul

I want to hold you

Before you close your eyes

And tell you that I tried

To follow you

But the chances were gone

Long before I was born

The walls and the fences around us

Were never to fall

 

There is no skies ahead

No comfort in the sand

Tell me lies later

There is no peace ahead

When million lives are held

Beyond my borders

There is no skies ahead

No comfort in the sand

Tell me lies later

There is no peace ahead

When million lives are held

Beyond my borders

 

I was just born and I

Born and I

I couldn’t keep her

I was just born and I

Born and I

I couldn’t keep her

I was just born and I

Born and I

I couldn’t keep her

She takes off her clothes now

As she lays in my bed

I would give her my all

For the time that we shared

She says she’s a vision

And that she’s got no name

From the smile that she wore

To the love that she blamed

 

She lives on her own now

She takes all the trains

She could never have told

That she could feel the pain

 

I walked in her wake

But I fell off the track

She was never my own

All the time that I tried

I was holding the time

She was running ahead

I could see in her eyes

And the smile that she changed

 

She floats like a feather

Through the sun and the rain

She could never be caught

Running over the fate

 

She came with no answers

I was hoping in vain

To be locked in her soul

Like the blood in her veins

She dreams on her own now

She takes all the trains

She was never to hold

All the weight of my chains

 

I roam in the stations

With a song in my head

And I wait for the day

I will follow the rails

Don’t feel the pain

When I fall from your sky

Don’t take the blame

When I give up the fight

It’s been a ride

On the edge of a mind

I shall bring the colours

And you’ll make up the time

 

And I know how it feels

When your soul is on the grill

 

It’s been a while

That I walk behind

Tryin’ to pick up

Scraps of your smile

So don’t chain yourself

To this shelter of mine

It’s built in the sand

And you came with the tide

 

And I know how it feels

When your soul is on the grill

 

Am I noxious, am I to blame?

There’s a million stars that I try to unchain

Am I noxious, am I to blame?

There’s a million worlds that are lost in my veins

 

Don’t fool my veins

With your sweetness

I’ve been king of a realm

That I can’t access

So don’t feel the pain

When I cry from your eyes

All I’ve been is a joker

Feigning a smile

 

And I know how it feels

When your soul is on the grill

And I know how it feels

When your soul is on the grill

Little sky watcher you try to hide

But all the stars that shine they don’t know you

Little sky watcher there’s only night above

You should come and try to live here on the ground

Little sky watcher you trip and you fall

Tryin’ to find a place to call your own

Little night walker you’re not the only one

In this world there is nowhere you belong

 

You’ve been tryin’ to cast away your chance forever

Wishing all upon a shooting star

You say sailing through the night you need no anchor

Seas of fairy lights to guide through a dream of life

You never had a chance to realize

To realize

 

The patterns of the night they’ll be defeating your soul

I know this empty space around you

Don’t cover in the dark the colours, let them shine on you

Cause I long to see your face beneath the moon

 

Little sky watcher I’ve got no answer

We’re trading every day for another

Little sky watcher we circle like your stars around

For a chance to live upon a miracle

 

You’ve been tryin’ to cast away your chance forever

Wishing all upon a shooting star

You say sailing through the night you need no anchor

Seas of fairy lights to guide through a dream of life

You never had a chance to realize

You’ll realize

The day is unfolding

Stars slowly fading

You know they’ll be gone just for a while

 

The light is unveiling

A world awaiting

It’s time we that we live just for a while

You see the world and you don’t know where it’s going

Do you know the reasons why?

You feel the love and you don’t know why it’s hurting

Do you ever wonder why?

I’ve been walking on and on

And I’m searching out the lines

 

To tell you mama’

I slept last night under the drugstore door

To tell you mama’

I tried in vain but I am sore

 

It’s been a while that you don’t know where I’m living

That I am gone and out of sight

The night has come with the visions overflowing

And I can’t tell the dark from light

 

How many have seen through my eyes

Your silence holding up the time?

How many years in my life

Before I tell you that I’m fine?

 

I’ve seen all the broken nights, the morning hours

When the lights redeem your mind

I’ve seen all the secret calls, never answered

But have we only ever tried?

I’ve been roaming on and on

And I’m drafting all the lines

 

To tell you mama’

I slept last night under the drugstore door

To tell you mama’

I tried in vain but I am sore 

 

I’ve seen the rumours of your smile on every corner

But you never came to life

I’ve seen all the secret nights of whiskey sours

Where the music ain’t no lie

 

 How many have seen through my eyes

Your silence holding up the time?

How many years in my life

Before I tell you that I’m fine?

 

 To tell you mama

I slept last night under the drugstore door

To tell you mama

I tried in vain but I am sore

To tell you mama

I slept last night under the drugstore door

To tell you mama

I tried in vain but I am sore

Can I stay here on your wire?

While the world goes ever wilder

Can I lay down just for a while?

And feel the void of your empire

We’ll walk the world on a tightrope

We will be the bridge between the walls

And if to fears we surrender

You’ll see the love where you stumble

 

Every step that I take

Make me close to the fall

But this where I live it all

Every move that I make

Take me close to void

But this is where I have it all

 

Can I stay here out of time?

Soul on the edge within the sky

And every mind you hypnotize

Is calling out for an answer

We’ll walk the world on a tightrope

We will be the bridge between the hopes

And if to fears we surrender

You’ll see the love where you stumble

 

Every step that I take

Make me close to the fall

But this is where we live it all

Every move that I make

Take me close to void

But this is where we have it all

 

Every step that I take

Make me close to the fall

Every move that I make

Take me close to the void

This is where we have it all

And this where we live it all

It’s falling apart

But they’re fixing the walls

They know

There’s no escape in their game

Whatever the rules they try to write

They don’t know how to play

And the moonlight is low

And the moonlight is low

 

She tells him the facts

And he’s letting her go

He knows

They were never to be sane

For all the rumours of the world

Were never chased away

And their goodbye is slow

And their goodbye is slow

 

She carries the rose

And he carries the thorn

And shadows are waiving

And memories are singing

As they fade away

As they fade away

As they fade away

 

She carries the weight of her wounds

She never seemed so alone

 

And shadows are dancing

And memories are singing

As she run away

As she run away

And shadows are dancing

And memories are singing

As she run away

As she run awayWon’t you run away

I’ve been a walker, roamed like a wave

Tryin’ to linger onto the sand

I’ve been a sailor cast off your shore

I’ve been a drifter forever more

I’ve been a sinner oh Lord you know

You lost your believer long ago

 

And I’m hitting the world and the city

Tryin’ to fit in your story

Heading where we’ve got no pain

Riding a line on a border

Taking a chance and another

Living a life against your will

 

I’ve been a gambler thrown out the doors

I’ve been a rambler between the bars

I’ve been a painter, loving you still

Pouring my colours to make you real

I’ve been a dreamer, I’ve been a fool

Could never master the golden rule

 

And I’m hitting the world and the city

Every nook and cranny

Heading where we’ve got no pain

Riding a line on a border

Taking a turn and another

Living a life against your will

 

I’ve been a lover, crafting your will

Stripping your covers to make you queen

I’ve been a loner, I forgave all the saints

I’ve been a lifer, would you give me a chance?

I’ve been a stranger from door to door

I found a shelter between your walls

 

And I’m hitting the world and the city

Tryin’ to fit in your story

Heading where we’ve got no pain

Riding a line on a border

Taking a chance and another

Living a life against your will

 

And I’m hitting the world and the city

Tryin’ to fit in your story

Heading where we’ve got no pain

Riding a line on a border

Taking a chance and another

Living a life against your will

I’d travel the world to get to know you

How does it feel to be like you?

But if I have no time

How am I to find you?

I’ll take the roads you left behind

I’ll be the walker of your mind

But if I see no traces

How am I to follow you?

 

And will you tell me

Where am I to run now?

And will you tell me

Where am I to hide?

 

I tried the skies, they wouldn’t open

And all my tryin’ have been mistaken

I’m chasing all the fools

But where you go they follow me

They keep saying you’ll find a way

If I sail or if I pray

I followed all the rules

But you were never down the way

 

Where am I to run now?

Where am I to hide?

 

Would you stay when I am blind?

If I praise a fallen sky

If I’m down on my knees

Would you walk me through the night?

You’ll drift away a million miles

And I’ll be lost a thousand times

But give me all my chances

And I will try to shine again

And I’ll make it bright

In the darkest night

I’ll be the guardian of you light

And where you go I’ll comfort you

And we’ll follow the northern lights

For just another broken night

I’ll get a sense of what I am

A piece of me that covers you
