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

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

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

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 03:07
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

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
12.
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
13.
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?
