Black Cloud Man

Too many people
And too much noise
An ocean of voices
Can't hear what they say
I don't understand
And i can not tell
Why I fall so hard
Why I feel this way
Oh no
It's the same old low
The unknown sorrow
The nameless pain
Make me feel like a shadow
Like a black cloud man
A hurricane's roaring
Inside of my head
A silent war
That no one can win
Wish I could explain
Make it easier for you
Instead I'm just waiting
’Til it’s passing through
Oh no
It's the same old low
The unknown sorrow
The nameless pain
I am falling again
Feel like a shadow
Like a black cloud man
Makes me feel like a shadow
Like a black cloud man

Oh No

They say the grass is always greener
On the other side, but it ain't true
Oh, no, it didn't last for more than days
I rocked the whole foundation
Of the world, the world where I was born
Oh, no, it didn't even shake
The way it should
I burned the bridges, set the place on fire
And turned my back on you
Oh, no, I was a fool
In every way
My heroes were all masters in the
Art of leaving troubles all behind
Oh, no, but they were blind
For what they left
I was a quitter, I ran away
Whenever troubles crossed my way
I didn't know, what I left
I only knew how to run away
They raised me with the myth of being a loner
No matter what the price
Oh, no, I was a chump
For all those years
The shortest way was always to the door
And someone said: Don't look back!
Oh no, and so I didn’t
’Til today
I was a quitter, I ran away
Whenever troubles crossed my way
I didn't know, what I left
I only knew how to run away

Blue

Blue is the ocean
In a million kind of ways
You ask me if I'm happy
I say it change from day to day
You are like the ocean
With a million kind of waves
Sometimes it makes me seasick
’Cause it's changing every day
I have found
A momentary peace of mind
I have found
A momentary lapse of time
The sun is just a fire
A million miles away
Through the milky way it's shining
Somehow keeping us alive
That is how I picture
What your love is all about
I can hardly understand it
But I cannot do without
I have found
A momentary peace of mind
And it's all because of you
All because of you

Hell
03:03
|
|||
|
Hell is not a place
It is a state of mind
I know cause I've been there
From time to time
Fighting all those inner fears
That only seem to grow
Throughout the years
Love is just a dog
A hound dog straight from hell
He'll bark and scream and moan
Until he get you
Under his spell
And then he'll never let you go
He'll hunt you all the way back
Down to hell

Nouvelle d'amour

Nouvelle d’amour
A story of love
At ease with this feeling
If it rains then let it be
Nouvelle d’amour
Has let me in her door
I am feeling her words
As she slowly whispers
So hold on
To whatever is
Keeping you here
A lover a friend
Or the fear of dying alone
It’s a hell of a ride
A wide open road
With no signs.
A celebration of pleasure and pain
In the end it’s the same
Nouvelle d’amour
Nouvelle d’amour
She’s making me smile
I long for her kiss
Undivided hunger for my wine
Nouvelle d´amour
I give light to my world, yeah
So it’s easy to choose
One more day
If I drink from this cup
So hold on
To whatever is keeping you here
A lover a friend
Or the fear of dying alone
It’s a hell of a ride
A wide open road
With no signs
A celebration of pleasure and pain
In the end it’s the same
Nouvelle d´amour

You don't
03:17
|
|||
|
You don’t ever let it out
And I don’t ask you anyhow
We just keep on going on
Like an old machine
We slowly rust
Talking less and drinking more
Anything to keep us from
The truth that’s hidden in these words
The words that we don’t dare
To speak out loud
Encapsulated in our heads
With helmets made of darkened thoughts
I wish that we could find a way
But we don’t even have
The strength to try
It didn’t use to be this way
I didn’t use to think like this
But something makes us interfere
With how it was and how it all could be
(And) I think I love you more
Than I ever done before
But I don't
Know what to do
To change
Our ways

Born into being alone
03:27
|
|||
|
Now it’s time to realize
There aint no paradise
And you will never be free
Unless you try to see
That we wont rise above
This shitty little state of love
You hate and I...
I think we’re born into being alone
That god didn’t make us in pairs
And it’s a law that was written above
That we never will be able to love
You don’t have a clue
Why you are always blue
And I keep doing you wrong
Oh baby we don’t really belong
And you wont rise above
This little stage you love
To hate, and I...
I think we’re born into being alone
That god didn’t make us in pairs
And it’s a law that was written above
That we never will be able to love

Like a sun
03:47
|
|||
|
See how colours fade
Here in the shade
Of the moon
Everything has changed
From pale into gray
The world that we knew
But you
You shine like a sun
In the darkest of times
You're the light
That can guide me
All through this night
I have lost my line
To the feelings inside
They’re all gone
Hiding in the night
I can't find no way
Out of this mist

Moon
02:20
|

|
The moon looks kinda hazy
In a most peculiar way
And the stars are looking dizzy
As they're hangin’ in the sky
I am wanderin’ the streets alone
I’m howlin’ at the moon
O’ I wish there was some medicine
That could heal my broken soul
It's too late to call for help
You see
I’m already too far gone
In the hoods of loneliness
Where I once started from
I am lost in you again
The day will soon be breakin’ up
My empty little world
This paradise of disbelief
I’ve built my life upon
When the sunbeams hit the ground
Then I will fall apart again
Shattered by the light
That makes it
Painful clear to me
It's too late to call for help
You see
I’m already too far gone
In the hoods of loneliness
Where I once started from
I am lost in you again

Strange winds
03:16
|
|||
|
Strange winds blow
In the atmosphere
Strange winds filling
Our hearts with fear
For the day
That’s to come for us
For the days
That are gone
Storm is raging
It sounds like war
Please make sure that you’ve Locked your door
Stay inside and stay calm
Lay your head on my arm
Not the end of the world
You see
They’ll go on
Without you and me
I will always be there
For you
I will always be true

Over & Done
02:31
|
|||
|
It’s over, it’s done, I’m moving on
It’s over, it’s done, I’m moving on
Like a heart in the snow
Is gonna melt away for sure
It’s over, it’s done, I’m moving on
I can’t save no one but me
& what’s left of dignity
It’s over, it’s done, I’m moving on
I’m leaving with my head held high
And I wont look back
And I wont regret
What I promised to forget
I’m through with this sorrow
Wont be around tomorrow
It’s over it’s done
I’m moving on
I’ve been drained & fooled
Objection, over ruled.
It’s over, it’s done, I’m moving on
It’s over, it’s done, I’m moving on
