For The Family

I saw the light
I saw the light that shines on you
Shows me everything you do
So why hide the knife?
Why hide the knife right out of view?
When you know it still cuts you
It still cuts you everyday
We’re all dark at times
But when you ignore your darker side
You keep it outside of the light
(and it just gets darker now)
And when you deny
When you deny what’s in your heart
You live a life that cannot start
It this all my family?

This information is misinformation
It’s founded on ghosts and memories
And your life isn’t over, but it feels like another’s
somebody’s life that was given to you
This wave isn’t breaking
But you’re tired of making all the mistakes that are already made
And your friends think that they’re helping when they say that it is healthy to explore and try to be with someone else
Yeah, just try to be with someone
Yeah, just try to be with someone else
Just try to forget it all now
Just try to be with someone else
But you don’t have that one desire
To be with someone else
You don’t have that sin inside you
To be with someone else
You don’t have that one desire
You don’t have that sin inside you
You don’t have that one desire
If this sin is all inside us will you sit alone in silence?
She don’t have desire
All you saints and all you sinners, are you safe in all you saw?

Time

Time is on your side
While I’m sinking deeper with every debt
I’m taking all that I can
Stealing memories and dreams because I never stood a chance
You tell me that you won’t come back
But I’ll leave breadcrumbs down off this beaten track
While time tears me apart
I’m left here to figure out all the times I kicked your heart
And the times that we made love last
Remember that time that we made love last
Do you remember when we made love last?
You need to think about the life we had and how you messed it up
Time is on our side
We’re rising higher with every breath
We’re taking all that we have
Stealing memories and dreams because we’re never looking back
Tell me that you want me now
Tell me everything that you never said
It’s time that breaks apart
When you’re sinking deep remember all the rules you made
Like the time that we made love
Remember that time that we made love last
Do you remember when we made love last?
You need to think about the future and how you haven’t messed it up

It's You
03:43
|
|||
|
Take a look before I’m old
It’s too late now some might say
Don’t forget what’s in our hearts
It’s not just blood that pumps the brain
Where’s my chance to tell my tale?
There’s still things I haven’t done
Where’s the lesson that I learnt
I don’t learn and she don’t stay
Time unties me and distance still binds me but I keep running away
I can’t say what I wanted my mind is still haunted by you
It's always been you
How long? How long til the right one comes?
I know my heart is still feeling
But it is too scared to say
All the things that it could’ve
But the truth is it should have been you
It’s always been you

It Will Pass
05:54
|
|||
|
It’s over you’ve chosen the path to take
No use crying alone in the dark
It’s not easy but it gets easier
Don’t be frightened to let down your guard
Just say what you want, I’ll come running as long as it’s real
Just say what you want Just say what you feel
Turn the phone off turn the phone off
Burn his letters burn his letters
Take his name off take his name off
Burn his letters, burns his letters
You see what you want
You see nothing when he’s not there
You see what you want
Yet you say that you care
No, and you hate it but you know that it will pass
Yes, you still love but you know that it won’t
No, and you hate it. Don’t you know that it will pass?
Yes, and we love it.
Because we know that it will pass

An Island
04:02
|

|
I’ll build an island for you, to get away.
All I need to find is a grain of sand.
Ten thousand islands for you.
Is that enough? I don’t know how to build more.
Now put your knees together.
And hide the prize.
They don’t need to see what’s inside.
We’ll build this dream together.
We’ll hold it up to the light that shines inside all tonight.
I’ll build an island for you.
But I would always wrong all that was right.
I know I’m ugly sometimes.
I know I’m mean and unkind.
We’ll build our home together.
We’ll put our hope inside.
I’ll build it alone now.
I’ll hold it up to the light that shines inside us all when we’re alive.

Lebanon
05:22

|
Ytuaeb si efil lla. I’ll lie with you
Ytuaeb si efil lla all life is beauty
It’s all beautiful, all life is beauty. It’s all beautiful, all life is beauty
Love pins her own tail on the horse of our dreams
Love pins her own tail on the horse of our dreams
Love pins her own tail on the horse of our dreams
Love took back her key, you fell apart at the seams
Love took back her key, you finally realized what that means
Love took out of me, all that I ever had
And we’ll be there to catch, And we know how you feel ‘cause we’re already there
To catch all you can feel. You’ve gotta get outta here. Oh, outta here
So you run to the sea, you take your lover’s arms and you walk into the sea
Where you become just like Lebanon. Do you hold onto all that you see?

Northern Lights

Blood, blood soils the water, Blood soils the water,
Slow, slow your breathing, stop, stop the bleeding
There’s so much blood
Blood, blood soils the water, Blood soils the water,
Slow, slow your breathing, stop, stop the bleeding
See the world inside your head
Sleep, sleep let it take you. Breathe, breathe I won’t wake you
Sleep, sleep let it take you. Breathe, breathe I won’t wake you
We’re falling back into each other.
We’re falling fast into each other
Now!
You will see it’s come again and you know that this dream will never end
So will sit and we watch the northern lights that will never shine again
If we open up our hearts, let the blood flow into one
Blood, blood soils the water, Blood soils the water,
Slow, slow your breathing, stop, stop the bleeding
See the world inside your head

Drunk With Friends
05:43

|
(Jens Lapidus Is Snabbacash)
You say you hate what I’ve become
But I really like the man I am
Nothing can change until it’s faced
But until it’s face it will not change
Or rearrange
I’ll keep the others
They’re all I need
They’ll pick me up when you put me down
There’s nothing better than being drunk with friends
And it is something that is possible
But something you won’t see
Because it’s in your head
It’s in your head
You insinuate that all I have is hate
We’re all afraid of being alone
Afraid of showing all our scars
I’m still scared of who I am
But I’m no longer scared of who you are
I’ll keep the others
They’re all I need
They’ll pick me up when you put me down
There’s nothing better than being drunk with friends
And it is something that is possible
But something you don’t see
Because it’s in your head
It’s in your head
You insinuate that all I have is hate
What are we fighting for?
What are we drinking for?
HERE’S WHAT WE’RE FIGHTING FOR!
HERE’S WHAT WE’RE DRINKING FOR!
Jens Lapidus’ Snabba Cash
Here's what we're fighting for
Here's what we're drinking for
