No Christmas In Aleppo

There is no Christmas there in Aleppo
As a matter of fact, there is no one there
Sitting on my couch and watching the videos
A can of coca-cola in my hand
Maybe just one drink was all I demand
Somebody was waiting for something we didn’t know
Some kind of joke or some kind of miracle
Um.. The story’s never been told
Um.. The story was way too old
Um.. How could we ever know?
The place we never went, the child we never met
were on the news again, my coffee turned cold
the gunman’s dead now, war hasn’t come yet
The blood won’t spill on me, at least I was told
Um.. The story has been told
Um.. The story has been too old
Um.. How could we possibly know?
Um…Buy something tomorrow
Um.. There’s ain’t any snow
Um…Have to close my windows
Turn off the radio
There is no Christmas there in Aleppo
As a matter of fact, there is no one there
Sitting on my couch and watching the videos
A can of coca-cola in my hand

Floating In My Dream
03:22
|

Don’t know where I’m going to today
Don’t know why I’m feeling so misplaced
One more flavour has to be erased
One more loser has to change a face
I was floating in my dream
There is nothing to be seen
Reading the same page again to sleep
Throwing colours in my hand to feed
It’s not hard to save yourself from pain
It’s not now to be my slave remained
I was floating in my dream
There is nothing to be seen
Doing what I have been told
Even if my skins are cold
Be another fool
Tumbling in your sunshine
I was keeping you away
Night and day
Don’t know where I’m going to today
Don’t know why I’m feeling so misplaced
I was floating in my dream
There is nothing to be seen

Seeing myself turning into an old man
Seeing myself turning into an old man
Heaven or hell, I don’t give a shit no more
Bring me back to the ground
I don’t know when I am going out again
The light is bright and the rain is too cold
The breeze is dead and there will be no snow
Prepare for another round
I am just looking for
Something that makes me joyful
But I guess I’ve expired
In the beautiful sunlight
Seeing myself turning into an old man
Seeing myself turning into an old man
I don’t know, I don’t know
If I’ll wake up tomorrow
Bring me back to the ground

Turmoil Blues

I don’t wanna do it
I don’t wanna do it
Don’t wanna make it
Don’t wanna make it
I don’t wanna take it
I don’t wanna take it
Don’t wanna break it
Don’t wanna break it
No more
Can we take it easy?
Can we take it easy?
Make me honey
Make me honey
Give me back my money
Give me back my money
Give me your only
Give me your only
Recall
When I am way too late
Dying to hesitate
Pick your favourite colour
Pick your favourite colour
Do yourself a favour
Do yourself a favour
Sliding from your hand
Sliding from your hand
Pick it in the sand
Pick it in the sand
For me
No one said I’m loyal
No one said I’m loyal
No one cared your people
No one cared your people
Live with your cancer
Live with your cancer
Play with your anger
Play with your anger
Until
Living from spring to fall
Sleeping in empty hall
Keeping my mouth shut is what I do for you today
Lingering around until I feel I suffocate
Longing for your love I feel like someone made it grey
Looking for the answer better show it to my face

Rising Moon
03:45
|

Come to me, come
Come to me, come
Even if I’m gone
So the star must dawn
Staring at the rising moon
Falling in the same old moon
Turn the sea, turn
Turn the sea, turn
Let the headlight burn
What could we unlearn?
Staring at the rising moon
Falling in the same old moon
Walking on the avenue
If the raven never flew

Would you ever love my game?
Would you live inside the frame?
I sticked your pictures on my wall
Just in case I don’t recall
How I was so sad
How you faded away
How you made me cry every day
When will you come back to me?
When will we know the misery?
Please do take care of yourself
And my books are on your shelf
They will sit and wait;
For a better place
Don’t you think everything’s okay?
Are you feeling high?
Are you feeling low?
If I am never in your dream
You are fire
You are wind
You are gyre
But I can’t swim

From The Pain
03:21
|
|||
After the song has betrayed, your name
You can be your only flame
After the words have exposed your will
You can be your sleeping pills
Winter is gone and ignored, by us
Summer may turn into rust
Are you the one who complains?
Are you the light that remains?
Are you the love that refrains
From the pain, from the pain
Maybe the smile can disguise your fear
Maybe days turn into years
Can’t you see how much we have, just aged
Slowly we'll die in a cage
All we have done is just one, mistake
All of your wishes are fake
Are you the one who complains?
Are you the light that remains?
Are you the love that refrains
From the pain, from the pain
Are you the one who complains?
Are you the light that remains?
Are you the love that refrains
From the pain, from the pain
From the pain, from the pain

Neon, Neon

Neon, neon
Where you’ve been so long?
I was never that strong
Neon, neon
I could not believe
After the years we breathed
I know I know
What was in your mind
Everything is gonna be alright
Is it the fire?
Is it the lighter?
Is it all I got to do?
When days are back
Out of the black
We’ll be riding on the track
Neon, neon
Where you’ve been so long?
I’ve been waiting for you
Neon, neon
I know I have torn
Everyone I met
Is it the fire?
Is it the lighter?
Is it all I got to do?
When days are back
Out of the black
We’ll be riding on the track

Forest Of Remains
03:27
|

Sparrow hiding in the straw
Hunters they don’t come no more
I once heard her voice was calling
At the times I was falling
Slipped away, from her winking eyes
But tonight, the boulevard is mine
Walked into the forest of remains
Bury your riddles as your games
Take it somewhere else and kill the flame
In my despair I was sold
From the wedding on the coast
I see morning glory soaring
Casting shadows we were nesting
So run away, from the heat of day
In my world, I caress the wave
You don’t see me
Carrying umbrellas in the rain
Nightmares forsaken by the past
Lovers awaken in the dark

A Boring Midnight
04:17
|

I think it’s better
I think it’s right
To be a loner
To be bright
Thanks for your flowers
Thanks for your time
What could I enter?
What could I fight?
Come as a beam
A flash of stream
Forget your scheme
Won’t you?
Sometimes I do
Sometimes I don’t
It’s hard to tell
Where I go to
This is the end
This is the time
When I don’t worry
When I don’t cry
Come as a beam
A flash of stream
Forget the scheme
Won’t you?
This is the end
This is the time
When I don’t worry
When I don’t cry

My Demon Friend
03:08
|
|||
How many days are there
For us to waste?
How many seeds will grow
Within your crop?
Sometimes I miss the first time
I played the song
But now the feeling is gone
Behind my head
Wouldn’t it be nice to
Call my demon friend
Again?
It seems the rain won’t stop
It seems so hard
To live without a dream
That is brief and short
I wonder what it is like
To be the man
Who is conscious of himself
So brave and so free
Wouldn’t it be nice to
Call my demon friend
Wouldn’t it be nice to
Call my demon friend
Wouldn’t it be nice to
Call my demon friend
Wouldn’t it be nice to
Call my demon friend
Call my demon friend
Again, Again, Again?
