She's got the sun in her eyes and she opens her arms when I fall from the sky She makes me feel like I've got my head in the clouds and my feet on the ground I'm sorry that I'm late I lost track of time and space (like always) Every day it's just the same but it's fine 'cause you don't mind She's got the sun in her eyes and she opens her arms when I fall from the sky She makes me feel like I've got my head in the clouds and my feet on the ground But now I feel kind of down again, I think I'm losing my mind again, I can't look into your eyes if I try And day after day we're drifting away and soon I will fade into the dark But don't call my name just promise you'll make sure that the stars are on my side She's got the sun in her eyes She's got the sun in her eyes

Monsters 03:36
When all the monsters of the past come back to me to say good night they will steal my dreams even though it seems that it's only in my mind So don't go out in the dark It's when the monsters come alive It feels like I've been here before I hear them breathing at my door creep up from behind and draw me into the night though they're only in my mind Don't go out in the dark When they're coming alive Draw you into the night Don't go out in the dark Feels like I've been here before I hear them breathing at my door Hazy days give way to fall I hear them breathing at my door Don't go out in the dark When they're coming alive Draw you into the night Don't go out in the dark

Hazy daisy tell me what's getting you down Lately, lately there is no love to be found Listen out for the sound Don't let it get you down listen to the music of the spheres all around playing inside everybody's ears all the time 'cause space is only noise and you can hear it in your heart so tune into the stream Lazy daydreams memories drowning in tar (It's all that's left inside) Maybe, maybe if I picked up the guitar (But music makes you cry) Don't let it get you down listen to the music of the spheres all around playing inside everybody's ears all the time 'cause space is only noise and you can hear it in your heart so tune into the stream Ajajaj Sometimes it feels like you could cry out loud but if there's nothing you can do right now just don't let it get you down Upside down feels like the world is turning inside out but if there's nothing you can do right now just don't let it get you down

Nefernefer 04:00
Turn down the lights dive into the night; let go Soon you will find the secret that lies beyond And somewhere deep under the surface I feel the earth moving Three thousand elephants stand on the edge of a cliff Beautiful beasts now must fall for the sake of her beauty while she sleeps Take a swim in the pond of stories and songs unheard Soon you may see fragility unearth within you And somewhere deep under the surface I feel the earth moving From far and from near all are marching to bow to the queen Her lips will be painted with blood and her eyes soaked with blue ink in her dreams

Irreality 04:08
When you're feeling down when you're tired of the daily life and it feels like you're just passing time nothing new under the sun And deep in your sleep you hear them calling 'all aboard the ship' pack your things get ready for a trip across the sea of lucid dreams and maybe underneath Sink into the ocean of your dreams Deep beneath the voices and the screams Where things are never what they seem to be Irreality Where the trees grow tall staring at you with their ancient eyes bony fingers reaching to the sky kiss the stars before they fall And deep in the woods there are flowers glowing in the dark they will lure you with their sweet, sweet lies hear them whisper in the night 'We can get you high' Sink into the ocean of your dreams Deep beneath the voices and the screams Where things are never what they seem to be Irreality Tired of the noises and the screams tired of the faces on TV but all these things will vanish in the stream where things are never what they seem to be (Irreality's a part of me)

Pool 03:59
(In the pool) Sunday is the day The world is sleeping in a haze and the waves are tempting you to dive You know you'll feel OK keep your head above the water stroke by stroke, let it go leave it all behind One wave at a time keep it cool in the pool Underneath the waves you'll find peace of mind So hold your breath and dive where the water's colder and the sun doesn't shine, never shines Deep inside the pool the world is gently floating by before your eyes one wave at a time One wave at a time keep it cool in the pool Underneath the waves you'll find peace of mind (In the pool)

Foam of Days 03:59
Catch the rainbow when it tiptoes through the dawn seize the daylight; kiss the night In a moment all you've ever loved is gone only memories left inside Sometimes I feel so old All my good days are gone Drowning in the foam Deep down in my soul There's a flower in the garden, let it bloom Give it sunshine, give it love 'Cause one day she will fade into the gloom leave you longing, soon enough Sometimes I feel so old All my good days are gone Drowning in the foam Deep down in my soul
10.
Sea 06:54
On the day the world ends I'll be out on the cliffs, smoking weed Standing on the edge Looking down, sea of waves And I hear them call my name Singing songs of distant lands I've never been Take a leap of faith One more step and the world becomes a dream I'm floating in between 'Cause life is so easy honey Sixty feet under the sea Down on the ocean floor There are things human eye has never seen The electric eel Jellyfish and bizarre creatures And they greet me like an old friend And lead the way to the great aerial reef All guided by the old whale She is older than the sea She's older than the sea 'Cause life is so easy honey Sixty feet under the sea And I know you'll miss me baby But I'm going where you can't go with me And I'll get washed ashore With coral bones and plastic bags And all the seaweed in my hair Broken seashells cut my see-through skin And maybe he'll find me in the morning sun An old fisherman with the most gentle hands He came down to the beach to collect shells And other creatures And he'll kiss me on the cheek Close my eyes And cover my body with the silver sand And on my grave he'll write my name And the rain will wash it away (into the sea)
