Beneath Your Skin

the street lights are blinding and noise's surrounding on our way
the things you'll be finding when you go another day
trying to get home
breathe in some fresh air and then you may light up your life
forget about her cause she will never be your wife
fucked up by the night
please keep up the fight despite the dimmer light
the cars keep on living in this republic of concrete
the gift keeps on giving but i doubt you want to receive
anything made for war
put on some clothes, the winter carries snow and wind
this is how it goes but it will get beneath your skin
and over your shoulders
could it get much colder? we'll see when we get older
every cigarette burns, every cigarette hurts
every cigarette dies when the night is getting over
the morning's coming closer
people are crying when trains take their loved ones away
your soul is dying when faith and hope both fade away
nowhere to be seen
when we were fourteen, our lifes, they looked so green
we never look back on times of fear and loneliness
but we never lose track of all the burnt-out cigarettes
praying for answers

and i'm done with smoking
i'm done with choking
i'm done with joking about how things may turn in the end
and i'm done with crying
I'M DONE WITH CRYING
i'm done with flying to places where love cannot be found
i'm spiralling out of control
i'm spiralling out of control
and i'm done with screaming
i'm done with redeeming
i'm done with seeming like i'm the only one who cares
and i'm done with floating
i'm done with avoiding
i'm done with avoiding the choices that one day i will make
i'm spiralling out of control
i'm spiralling out of control
i'm spiralling out of nah nah nah
but now i've taken control

you and me between the walls of this lonely bar
and between us there's a wall that i wanna tear apart
we play one chord, one chord, maybe two, but one chord is mostly all we do
but everybody's smoking outside, outside
we play one chord, one chord, maybe two, but one chord is mostly all we do
glamourizing drugs, scare away those thugs
but everybody's smoking outside, outside
outside, outside, outside
you're between me and the wall, i want to give you all
but when some dude just walks around, you are taking him to town
we play two chords, two chords, sometimes one, but mostly two chords is pretty fine
but everybody's fucking in the bathroom, in the bathroom
and everybody's smoking outside
we never play three chords, three chords, mostly two, three chords is something we never do
glamourizing love, forget all the above
but everybody's smoking outside, outside
outside, outside, outside

i saw you walking down the street lane, i saw you walking again
and it made me happy that you didnt know this pain, it made me happy again
but how im gonna be this tall if december came and left
but how im gonna catch your fall if you just made me forget
burned my lips when i kissed you, i burned my lips again
watched the moon when i missed you, i watch it everyday
it makes no sense at all how youre smiling in the fall
it makes no sense at all how youre not taking my call
i read my sheets when i got home, i read my sheets again
and they were full of nonsense washed away by the rain
you're such a misadventured thief, you stole my heart and breath
and i will struggle to be brief, but i will meet my death
anyway i'll find another way
lips that they must use in prayer, silence covers up the night
we are kissing slowly, they are just pretending to be right
lips that they must use in prayer, but we are falling out of love
we are kissing slowly, they are just pretending to be above
the things you said before when we tried to be in love
i heard your voice in my terrace carried by the wind
i heard your voice in my terrace but it sounded so thin
and though we're falling out of love the memories remain
of times in dublins and the nights when we weren't mundane
and then you took the train and never came again

Serenity (Tree Song)

the city lights covered by this chimney smoke
the city lights are just way too far ahead
this vapour is flowing and soon i will choke
this vapour is glowing from above my head
the night is so selene
the city's so serene
the trees are hiding your body from the world
the mountain's dancing with the sea
through the trees i found something very curious
a haunted house with its windows gone
and i recall when you called you were so furious
cause you remembered the things that i had done
the wind is blowing fast
you're from venus and i'm from mars
and love is falling like the leaves the winter brought
but i'm forgetting a couple more thoughts
and even if things seem so surreal around me
my mind has been living on a cloudy day
and even if things are better than when you found me
the trees are hiding this great city away
my eyes are crying blood
the river's overflood
everything is going just the way that it should be
i guess you're losing me and i'm losing myself
serenity fades among the trees of this town
serenity was a mean old lie
and if you ask me if i do like the sundown
i guess i will have to watch the sky

A Moment Of Clarity

you wake, you shake, you jump, you dump, you dress, you stress, you go, you grow
you run, how fun, just past the bus, it's just begun, what's all that fuss?
you get the threat of one more day and as you bet the sky was grey
you see the tea across the table you take a sip to be stable
you scream your dreams, you're headed south, big dreams they seem, for such big mouth
you leave to achieve your whole-hearted wishes, before you leave you do the dishes
tonight you drink a bottle of liquor, you think, you don't think, you want to go quicker
tonight it's right, you wander through the city, you take the flight, oh girl you're so pretty
you think, you don't think, a moment of clarity, you wink, then you drink, a moment of rarity
you leave, you don't grief, you run, it's been done, you breathe, very brief, you pick up your son
you drive, you arrive, and then you start crying, you dive, you're alive, you might not be flying
tonight it's late, you throw up and tie your hair, you care but then you don't dare
then you wake and you make the best of the day, you take for your sake another doorway
you take the train to go so far, it starts to rain, so you go to the bar
you jump the fence of some kid's park, and you feel tense cause the dogs will bark
you write more songs at 3am, you bite your tongue in front of the men
the empty streets and empty hearts of the city on our feet that my eyes make seem blurred
the empty soul and the empty mind of whoever's in control of your wasted time
tonight you run, you leave behind the things that retain you from ever being fine
you scream in silence, you know what's next, when you are smiling, you write a text
you dance, you sing, a moment of clarity, you wait for the spring and that's how things go
you look behind you, you throw the middle finger, and you celebrate the joy that in the air lingers
you light a cigarette, you breathe some air, you smoke a cigarette, you touch your hair
but tonight it's late, you better just hurry home, cause they're waiting for you to come

after spring arrived
for three days straight it rained in barcelona which is weird
but not that weird, maybe its just not the time
after spring arrived
three days of lousy weather and then you arrived
so we can enjoy the rain together
and tho i hate the rain
i think i've grown used to it
tho i love the pain i think
i wont ever be anymore used to it
we can watch tv or some indie movie
and listen to music while the raindrops hit the window
we can talk for hours about the things that trouble our souls
we can kiss although we're not drunk
words are relative to a certain state of despair
to a certain state of things happening without a reason
words are relative to this concrete affair
an affair that happened in the changing of the seasons
no more red hair, no more big titties, big ass, no more time to care
all that matters are the streets where we ran
where we flew away from all that was retaining us on the ground
just spread your angel wings
cause we're about to fall
yet i dont care if you dont take my call
we used to kiss under the rain
the raindrops fell down your cheeks
they were salty but you were sweet
we used to kiss when there was nothing else to talk about
cause everything was said
but i still had to learn so much, so much
oh when i'll ever see your smile again
see it when it stops to rain
see it in the morning, see it in the night
all that i know is that everything is right
