what you see is not the real thing
but it feels just like the real thing
every time i have this feeling
i remember every feeling
looking at the moon through your eyes
i can see myself through your eyes
a projection of the real lies
i could never realize, your eyes
and the gates of night open
stuck inside this star-filled whirlpool
swimming in a circle, it's cruel
in this dream i'm always a fool
i can't help but play the same fool
it feels like the sun will never rise, tonight
it seems like the moon is telling lies, your eyes
and the gates of night open

Mask of Luna

i see a
a face
upon the moon at night
a mask of
of light
the shadows turn to white
i don't wanna believe it, it's not right
Luna Luna i'm begging you tonight
(take off the mask and
see what's waiting)
Mask of Luna
a nightmare
a dream
the difference does not seem
to be there
the seam
is tearing into threes
the truth comes
and leaves us
in the morning you'll disappear again
Luna Luna illusions of a friend
(underneath the mask
there's a memory)
Mask of Luna

this beauty is so thin
the surface always spins
in circles night and day
but i can't look away
so where do you begin?
and where's my origin?
and is it night or day?
are moon and sun the same?
just like a ship adrift
where did i go amiss?
i see you in the waves
i try but i can't say
to wade right through the mist
to take it all from this
to be the one who stays
to feel it's all okay
the tree of life does shift
the sea of mind abyss
inside the ocean's cave
i'm swimming all the way
but i can't hold my grip
but i can't see the gift
it's fading all the way
i'm letting go today
you know i'm just a fool for you
all that i know is right
it isn't always right
i try so hard to see
but all i see is me
a mirror of the mind
everything in sight
the ego, 1 2 3
it's counting everything
every way is white
and black at the same time
but all i want to be
is what you want from me
i give myself to spite
to jealousy and fright
i no longer can see
the ship is lost at sea
i'm blinded by the night
it's time to see the light
i'm blinded by the night
this life, a dream, of life
somewhere over rainbow
a story never told
a mystery of love
a feeling from above
and also from below
mirror becomes window
and now the prism shows
the nothing that i know
you know i'm just a fool for you

Icarus
03:27

see the sun
i want to see the yellow sun
turn white
to day from night, but
i'm asleep
i just can't wake up from this sleep
tonight
can't see the light, 'cause
it's all in my head
my dreams are turning red
sky a shade of blue
but also greenish, too
wash it all away
the ocean comes in waves
in waves
reaching out on
melting wings
Icarus
bring me back
a ring of roses turning black
it's true
i see the truth, but
it's a trap
i always fall into this trap
it's true
the lies are true, 'cause
try to make it right
again and then again
try to turn the tide
the end is just the end
try but cannot fly
i cannot comprehend
the end
reaching out on
melting wings
Icarus

Déjà-là
04:53

what you desire
in the night
it will be gone
come morning
washing away all my dream worlds
watching the way that my dreams swirl
'round and around into the sun
'round and around until they're done
what you desired
was a trap
it was nothing
just nothing
starting to wake and i see light
parting the lake as my three signs
open the way back from my mind
open the way back, it's inside

Starting Over
03:06
|

|
can't recall
the rise and fall
memory's clean
i'm in between
starting over, start it over
it isn't real
it's how i feel
i'm emptied out
without a doubt
it comes and goes
the rain and snow
i've made amends
the circle bends
starting over, start it over
(can't recall, the rise and fall)

Singing of a Silent Name
03:24
|
|||
|
in the clear
where all this distance is no more
a prayer
an instant before
all is there
and i can hear the song’s encore
aware
of every before
the one who dances needs no crutch
silent as a dreamed-of name
i am guided by the wings
i am guarded by the flames
deep and high
when break the trembling banks that hold
the night
as it was foretold
with a light
it pierces through appearance holes
of light
eternal unfold
i jump over the towers tall
self i know it wasn’t this
in the end i always fall
so much more or less than this?
open arms
it comes to me with something new
alarms
the bells that haunt you
like a star
only to say this au revoir
the morning calls you
now i am but a fool again
dancing on an empty stage
singing 'till the very end
singing of a silent name

You Can't (Without)
03:31
|
|||
|
pull a joker card and play to win
but you can't win without, first, failure
it's just the way the game is played
this way is always
every single day is a new game
but you can't start without, first, ending
you can't (without)
it's just the way the game is played
this way is always
