Take my hand
04:29

Take my hand, explain to me
This project called humanity.
Don’t let go while on this ride
There will be no surprise
All I know is that we shouldn’t be sad
When we think of the road ahead.
Whisper directions through a kiss
While we drift through this Metropolis,
People talk, but they have nothing to say,
Why would anyone know the way?
Take my hand, don’t let go,
I know we won’t, we won’t get lost on our way home
Take my hand, don’t let go
Signs are fake, maps are false, but we must go on
Take my hand we are almost there
I am not going anywhere
Take your earphones off, listen to me
I’ll guide you through this cacophony.
People talk, but they have nothing to say,
Why would anyone know the way?
Take my hand, don’t let go,
I know we won’t, we won’t get lost on our way home
Take my hand, don’t let go
Signs are fake, maps are false, but we must go on
Oooooh
All I know is that we shouldn’t be sad
When we think of the road ahead.
Take my hand, don’t let go,
I know we won’t, we won’t get lost on our way home
Take my hand, don’t let go
Signs are fake, maps are false, but we must go on
Oooh

Expectations
05:03

Hello to expectations that always
Wake me for they never sleep
Oh I’ve been patient, by all means tempted
Oh I’ve been persistent, and I‘ve attempted this
And it came and left with bliss
All the wrongs I made I aimed to feel
A long time ago I was taught like this
Maybe it’s changing me
Hey to the abandonment that awaits
That night it was our little bait
And after all the shivers and the sedatives
I loved you more than I ever did
It came and left with bliss
All the wrongs I made I aimed to feel
A long time ago I was taught like this
Maybe it’s changing me
It’s changing me (changing me)
And I’ve been here before (changing me)
And after all the damage is done
The damage, the damage is all mine
after all the expectations are found
It came and left with bliss
All the wrongs I made I aimed to feel
Because a long time ago I was taught like this
Maybe it’s changing me

I turned 30 yesterday
02:24
|

|
I turned 30 yesterday
Oh, I felt I was so aware
Woke up stronger and prepared
I dare to want, dare to want more
I dare to want more today
So I gave my sleep and heart away
And I had to work for the day
‘cos my freelance ways don’t get me paid
And alcohol stirs
Alcohol stirs my health to hell
it brings the teenage out of me
More than I ever let it be
I’d like to start a family
But I’ve only, only met you last week
Since I met you last week
I nearly thought it could begin
But chasing time is not your thing
You gave it up as soon as we kissed
And once again it left with bliss
But I’ve been craving for this
It’s a scenario that I’ve seen before
Your behavior couldn’t amaze me more
You could be older, but you are thirteen
And as always, always I end up in tears
I turned 30 yesterday
I felt I was so aware
That my family would be big and queer
I dare to want, dare to want more

Beneath my lungs
03:21
|
|||
|
I was standing in the dark there was smoke and a plague of eyes
I was angry that night and the music was not right
So, I drank, and the bar was queer enough
For me to stick around and let my anger out
And her eyes of fire approached me
Her smile does something to me
What my mind couldn’t grasp in the dark
Was embedded beneath my lungs
I can sense it even now
She sailed away to break that Scandinavian ice
And her voice reached out to me just in time
I felt her presence all around, but she wasn’t close enough
So, I flew over the mountains into that cabin that night
And her eyes of fire released me
Her touch did something to me
What my mind couldn’t grasp in the start
Was embedded beneath my lungs
I can sense it even now
The game was up
I was oh so surprised
I lost control that night
Was it me or was it her
Was it chance or our intention
That led us to that light
And your eyes of fire approached me
Your smile does something to me
What my mind couldn’t grasp in the dark
Was embedded beneath my lungs
I can sense it even now

Ice cream
03:50
|
|||
|
I’ve been selling all this ice cream
I’ve got nothing else to do
I’m focusing on money
So I flew across the Atlantic
The beauty of the ice cream
Is that it brings my mind a breeze
I’m thinking of my darling
And how she’s been managing this heat
If I serve you better than you deserve
It is ‘cos I know what I came to do
Dreams are not on my mind
And they are not the only drive I’ve got
Oh, it feels really nice when she takes me out to arts
I’ve been selling all this ice cream
I’ve got nothing else to do
I’m still thinking of my darling
And how we’ve been managing this city
If I serve you better than you deserve
It is ‘cos I know what I came to do
Dreams are not on my mind
And they are not the only drive I’ve got
Oh, it feels really nice when I take her out to lunch
If I serve you better than you deserve
It is ‘cos I know what I came to do
Dreams are not on my mind
And they are not the only drive I’ve got
If I serve you better than you deserve
It is ‘cos I know what I came to do
Dreams are not on my mind
Oh, it feels really nice when she is by my side.

Differences
03:14
|
|||
|
I like to wake up
In the morning
Before you
And put a coffee on for two
When you wake up
You have a cigarette before everything
I think you smoke
Because you like to slow down the pace around you
Why my equilibrium is gained
When I am vigorously effective and maybe hectic
But creative
This is who we are
It’s all the differences and the nuances
That we share
I see the place where we met where we meet every day
Don’t you want to make up
I don’t want to wake up without you
We could get a take out
All I want is to slip under your arms and be beside you
Don’t you walk out just yet
I know that we’ve been far away
But I am looking at you right now
Very deep into your eyes
I know what I want to find
I see the differences and the nuances that we share
I see the place where we met where we meet every day
It’s all the differences and my weaknesses that pulled us away
But I see the place where we met where we meet every day

You said
04:11
|
|||
|
You said I should stay,
Stay away and watch my own
I did not need you at all,
I was good on my own.
You said: “Take me home”
You said: “Meet me after work”
You said: “Don’t make me doubt”
And I won't, I won’t bring the drama now
You said I was wrong
I was wrong before
For wanting, wanting more
More for us to explore
You said I was wrong
And I agreed along
How far, how far can we go?
But why is this growing on?
I did want to have more with you
And you’d want us to be a family, I know
But it would take a little bit more, a little bit more
You said I was wrong
I was wrong before
For wanting, wanting, wanting more
More for us to explore
You said I should stay
Stay away and watch my own
I could not let you go, I could not let you go.

Took care of you
03:46
|
|||
|
Can I take a breath without you
I won't take too long,
I don't want to ruin your freedom
Oh I will preserve it until it's lost
What we think we had was nothing
Compared to what we did
Would it be ok if I knew
That I took care of you
How we tried to be good, didn't we?
But did we set this right?
Are you sure you're all right?
'Cause I am not
I need some more time
I missed you like hell, hey love
What we're holding onto ain't right
Ain't right
Ain't right
Ain't right
That I took care of you
That I took care of you
What we think we had was nothing
Compared to what we did
Would it be ok if I knew
That I took care of you
It seems like we met for the first time
Everything is blissful and divine

Stay with me (live)
04:56
|

|
They sold me fear, and I’ve been dealing with it ever since
Made some tea, suddenly felt free, what a rush of serotonin
I feel free in my own four walls
How foolishly my brain cells move
My sense of freedom relies upon my family
Let it be queer, healthy and flourishing
This will be challenging to find
The society where I can hide
But baby stay with me, I’m wanting it with you
The happiness you’re giving me, I’m giving you,
Oh baby let’s see if we keep building it will breed into a tree
That we can observe growing as we will too
Sometimes I fear what my thoughts are going to be
I’ll take the liberty and say that fear is gone for the day
Because sharing the world with you
With worry and fear won’t work
O baby stay with me, I want it with you
The happiness you’re giving me, I’m giving you is true
Baby let’s see if we keep building it will breed into a tree
That we can observe growing as we will too
Oh we might find ourselves far away from what we’ve known
I’ll have to learn to rely on you and what we make
I hope you will find me strong enough for you tonight
And we’ll get through the storms stronger in our bond
Oh baby stay with me, I want it with you
The happiness you’re giving me, I’m giving you is true
Oh baby let’s see if we keep building it will breed into a tree
We’ll see growing as will too
