Traces

Bring on the invite
Bring on all the wine
Take me on a thrilling ride
Against your own advice
I’m clearing up my doubts
Pretending I’ve cooled down
I whispered my apologies
But no one turned around
If I cannot hide
I’m erasing my traces
If I’m out of lies
I keep my big mouth shut
If I cannot hide
I’m erasing my traces
Erasing my traces
I’m doing it myself
Without being compelled
I don’t live a selfish life
There are measures that apply
I think I’m in control
I’m out but on parole
Leaving bad luck safe at home
‘cause it never comes alone
If I cannot hide
I’m erasing my traces
If I’m out of lies
I keep my big mouth shut
If I cannot hide
I’m erasing my traces
Erasing my traces
I burnt the evidence
And although I need some help
Goodwill’s my best defense
I bought myself some time
To be keeping up the fight
So I can hold the line

The Numbers Game
04:22
|

Ready to take off
Been waiting quite a while
I don’t contemplate
‘cause I’d look like a flake
The art is in the deal
The risk’s under my heels
What have I got to do?
My working days are yours
And all my weekends too
Anytime
Pick me out
Pick me out
‘cause I’m on fire
Someone with success
Is flashing all his cash
But I pretend to wait
Still yet to play my ace
The only thing I’ll sign
Is the number on my mind
Gambling ain’t for fools
If I can’t double up on you
I’ll cut myself in two
It feels so fine
When the building’s
crumbling down
We’ll get out on time

All Assumptions
03:28
|

You’ll be surprised to hear the line
That’s been spinning ‘round in my old mind
I need to resolve this open end
So here I am
It seems like a foolish thing to do
Some people claim I’m stuck on you
Let’s put it this way
If it’s the case
Then honestly, love, what does it change?
Is it over now?
I let all my assumptions go
Baby I need to know for sure
I let all my assumptions go
(I’ve left all logic behind)
Maybe I’m close to being too bold
While my guilty conscience grows
I let all my assumptions go
I am surprised to see you here
You’ve tested the waters despite your fears
Your plan is ambitious but keep in mind
So am I
My signals were mixed but to be fair
You noticed signals everywhere
You shot in the dark but not at me
I only can hope I’ve set you free
‘cause it’s over now
You are the blind spot on my soul
Keeping my carefree days on hold
Excuse my attempt to turn back time
Cease or resist… I don’t mind
Guess you were surprised to hear the line
Let me declare it one last time…

Stand up Nine
03:30
|
|||
I am eager for a break
To give meaning to it all
I am up for better times
Anytime
My approach of give and take
Makes me wonder what I’ve gained
No surprise
I felt uptight
Every time
You hold me up when I don’t mind
To let you down and pass my time
Hoping for another day
Spent with all senses awake
You’re keeping track of all my steps
When every trap is wisely set
It’s been often emphasised
“Fall eight times and stand up nine”
You’re the reason I can make
Something genuine out of fake
I can tune the warnings out
Anytime
Never thought I could relate
To the lessons you’ve explained
You are picking the sublime
From the grind
I could change myself and be much more refined
Or I’d turn my head leaving you denied
I could blaze a trail and say an old goodbye
And I might
And I might

The Evitable World
04:15

Meet Mr. Driftwood alone in his house
He covered the tiny cracks to keep out the light
The start of the holidays has come into sight
He’s soon at a different place without going out
He’s not a prisoner of the darkness around
But more like a free man in one endless night
Peace has been waiting here for him to be found
Between thickened curtains lies his own paradise
He feels the joy of cutting off
Rays of light from the sun
He covers cracks and all clocks
Says goodbye, so long
Fade out into the dark
But his house is still like home
He’s not lonely, just alone
He’s not picking up the phone
No more opening the door
People shouldn’t say a word
‘cause they don’t understand
There is nothing absurd
‘bout the evitable world
