there's nothing along my way
to ease my soul
it feels like I've lost the half
that made me whole
surrender to the pain
your love has come too late
she whispers in your slumber
a song you've never heard before
wake up before the summer
stay up until you fall in love
surrender to the pain
your love has come too late
there's no one to hold the flame
and braise my soul
and I'll never be the same
now that she's gone
on the isle of dreams the sun is coming down
and as you're falling asleep in the arms of another girl
remember when love did not feel that vain
and now it's time to surrender to the pain
and so you feel cut in half
you lose a part of yourself
because there's no doubting that
your love has come too late
surrender to the pain
there's no one else to blame
there's none
surrender to the pain
for all has come too late
you've only got yourself to blame
your love has come too late

savage love
04:06
|
|||
look into my eyes
I know that you have been lying
and then a moment
opens a tear in time
wipe off your sorrow
wear back your beautiful smile
oh baby I don't know
what's getting inside of me sometimes
you were the summer
you brought the sun in my life
light trapped in raging clouds
raining dark circles again tonight
you'll be fine
if you say you're forever mine
my darling, it's a savage love
you'll be fine
if you say you're forever mine
tonight babe, that you'll always love me
you'll be fine
if you say you're forever mine
come on babe, make me feel your love
yeah, we'll be fine
if you say you're forever mine
my darling, it's a savage love

like a woman
03:35
|
|||
nothing is sacred anymore
you're lighting the flame to burn the lore
and make me come alive
a feeling that shakes me to the core
what no one has made me feel before
to make me come alive
and angels fall from the sky
as our senses unite
turn the world around
I'm feeling like a woman
bring fire to those who claim they know
and crave to dictate what's right or wrong
you make me come alive
there's no turning back from where we go
you're stepping the pedal on the floor
to make me come alive
and walls fall down inside
and as icons ignite
bring it all down
I'm feeling like a woman
all it takes for somebody to be saved
is to choose their own salvation
I bring myself to you tonight
and I set all lies aside
I am here for the ride
I'm feeling like a woman

roads to nowhere
03:51
|
|||
a storm is falling upon us
I wanted more I can tell to love you again
and I wanted my heart to shiver before you
and I was sorry that it wasn't the same
how depraved of you
always trying to have me right where you want me
and was it love for you?
or was it all to hear you say that you loved me?
singing
that's when we're threw
that's all I can take
that's where we fall to the same old mistakes
that's how we're fooled by love, I know it
we've put ourselves back on the roads to nowhere
I say the weight on our shoulders is more we can bear
and is it clear enough to you?
the roads we're walking on do not lead nowhere
and now it's time to let the storm come through
and blow away the promises that we've broken
and so I say it
that's when we're threw
that's all I can take
that's how we prove that all was in vain
that's how we're fooled by love, I know it
and I find myself back on the roads to nowhere

sirens
06:04
|
|||
I know it's taking a toll
calling my name
it's echoing
throws me a bone to chew on
and takes me by my hand
says you'll never be alone
feels so safe
so warm inside these walls
and promises to always
pick me up when I fall
my soul is forever at home
start a fire to burn down the lies
oh, you're such a lovely man
just ask them what you wish for
it sings through the night
it brings into my arms that which I crave
for too long
I've been lost inside this world
got sucked inside its hole
I long to see it all burn down
I wish you to know that
all I believe in is really just lying here before me
she'll never believe what you say
I love how you don't understand
what's broken can't be whole again
too late to atone for all the lost time
it's so late
always a part of me
I can't let go
it's taking over me
I will never let go
my soul is forever at home

a step towards fame
04:37
|
|||
I've sent away angels that came
cared not to fall over affection
to make a name for oneself, mate
kill everyone, they said, that ever loved you
they hold you back from your fate
I can feel the reason why
you're tossing and why you're turning tonight
I can feel the reason why
you're holding on a burnt hope tonight
no one to blame
there's nothing to gain
you have to feed the fire
that is hidden inside you
you need to swallow the pain
and take a step towards fame
trust when we say
"they will always love you"
look now where all has led me to
trade love for lust
bitten by mouths and stung by tongues
what a way to go down
I can feel the reason why
you're calling in the middle of the night
and I can feel the reason why
you're sharpening the blade tonight
no one to blame
it's so hard to tame
the void that grows inside
cold steel that cuts through
it's so much the pain
I guess it is all part of the game
but please remember
I've always loved you

with ghosts tonight
04:22
|
|||
look how they're gathering under the fading moon
they said that time was able to sow the wound
what I can never understand
how all this love faded and everything we shared
oh, how it comes like a waterfall down my cup of sorrow
for the love I failed
I'm sleeping with ghosts tonight
they come to me with their arms wide open
and there embrace is caving me in
their clothes are made of dreams that have been broken
and of what it would have been
oh, I will never understand
how all the flame withered and all the tears you shed
oh, how they turn into rain
into a waterfall
into a tidal wave now
as I drown in pain
and sleeping with ghosts tonight
the night is moving and closing down on me
and my soul is crying for breaking out
but there is no solace left for me

lost in disarray
03:44
|
|||
I'm caught anew this frame of gloom
waiting for a chance to break the circle
a guillotine
a photograph of the light
that used to grace my room
from the top of the mountain
there is no way but going down
consumed by sex
a rush of tears
a song before the curtains fall
my soul's aflame
I am so tired and feel ashamed
I am here to say I'm lost in disarray
only your love can help me find my way
the floors are sucking me in
I am a devil in despair
without you here to follow into the night
I slowly come undone
on hands and knees I crawl
no one's there to catch my fall
my soul's aflame
I feel without your love I'm fading
my soul's aflame
and I can't brave another day
I'm here to say I'm lost in disarray
help me fine my way

lady of the night
04:24
|
|||
so bright under the light of the moon
and dressed in satin
she walks the night like she owns the whole world
on her step she's spreading silence
as if she knows that they talk about her
she's got to be mine
listen kid, don't get your hopes too high
she'll never play your way
words they said are spinning in my mind
she'll never play your way
I love you
lady of the night let me in your heart
her eyes are shining like candles in the dark
as her hips are sliding from side to side
and I know that she's got to be my girl
sorry son, you get your hopes too high
she'll never play your way
she only plays one way
how I love you
lady of the night what pain you hold inside?
she looks me in the eyes
a kiss as hard as a threat
she shares with me a sip of the poison
that makes people forget
she says "leave the past behind"
yeah, I want to leave it in the dark
and I hear her say the words now
be with me tonight
yeah, I hear her say now
I love you
take me to the stars

sunrise (follow me down)
04:33
|
|||
I watch the rising sun breaking the night
and it reminds me of all those great attempts
to rise above and pull myself back to the light
you always were so strong
and every hardship became another stone
on the mountain you built to climb upon
and raise your arms and touch the sky
sunrise for the broken
and I've been wondering since you went away
aimless and trying to cope
with that sense of emptiness that grows
in this emptiness I drown
I surely don't want want to let you down
I watch the rising sun breaking the night
and it reminds me of how you never gave up any hope on me
I need you now
and until the break of dawn
you'd follow me down
so brace for the fall
I am trying to stay afloat for just another day
I need you now
be with me
stay with me
I need you by my side
I long to meet the end
but I won't let you down
no, I won't let you down

Grim Anise Athens, Greece
I am making music in order to make the most of my regrets. Otherwise they would swallow me whole.
