Lyrics
BUFFALO
I have changed, I have changed
I have changed, I have changed
I have changed, I have changed
I have changed, I have changed
This is my face after I fucked it up
One step ahead before I had to stop
This is my voice after I couldn't breathe
Two steps ahead before I had to leave
I have changed, I have changed
I have changed, I have changed
I have changed, I have changed
I have changed, I have changed
These are my words after I spit them out
Three steps ahead before I hit the ground
Crashing all walls on maximum speed
Four steps ahead, behind my feet
I have changed, I have changed
I have changed, I have changed
I have changed, I have changed
I have changed, I have changed
Hang up your pictures, hang 'em up high
Don't you forget that! Don't even try!
Everything's broken, fallen from grace
Run after daydreams, backwards in space
I have changed, I have changed
I have changed, I have changed
I have changed, I have changed
I have changed, I have changed
BEGGARS&THIEVES
Oh city, born pretty
All shiny empire's superstars
You change us to giddy
And tiny self-creating avatars
We're fighting this pity
Cause maybe we will wrestle motorcars
And all things will be gone by tomorrow
Oh, these streets will gather hopes and longings
And our souls will disappear in smoke
All the streets will gather hopes and longings
And our souls will disappear in smoke
Oh city, bright halo
My lover, hugging our lonely hearts
You spit out, you swallow
You cover our lives with plastic cards
We steal and we borrow
Leftovers off the glory Boulevard
And all things pass by tomorrow
Oh, these streets will gather hopes and longings
And our souls will disappear in smoke
All the streets will gather hopes and longings
And our souls will disappear in smoke
Beggars and thieves!
Beggars and thieves!
Beggars and thieves!
Take what it needs
The sun goes down for me behind the big city lights
And we can't sleep
Oh, these streets will gather hopes and longings
And our souls will disappear in smoke
All the streets will gather hopes and longings
And our souls will disappear in smoke
THINGS IN LIFE
Things in life we've learnt teach us how to make a stand
When we just can't
Get your fingers burned, scratches everywhere
They are feathers on the tar
Pay for the trust you were stealing
Your pockets are not big enough to hide
You've been digging hard, diving long to find
The darkest heart
You flew all the way, detoured everywhere to grasp
Things they say
Pay for the love that was granted
Cause your pockets are not big enough to hide
And all your goals
Are boundaries before they set you free
All your hopes
They'll carry you before you reach the sea
Reach the sea
Good things come for free, just love enough to give
Apples from your tree
There's a golden ray, see their faces, oh they glow
There you go
Get paid for the things you are sharing
Cause your pockets are not big enough to hide
All your needs are boundaries before they set you free
All your dreams will carry you before you reach the sea
All your goals will be boundaries before they set you free
All your hopes will carry you before you reach the sea
All your goals, all your needs
These boundaries before they set you free
All your hopes, all your dreams
Will carry you before you reach the sea
All your goals, all your needs
These boundaries before they set you free
All your hopes, all your dreams
Will carry you before you reach the sea
Reach the sea
EVERY LITTLE THING
You've made this jam from chunky heart bites
You've played your role and got your parts right
You're breathing in, you'll leave this place soon
Close your eyes
But then you say you really feel like
Cause your life was somehow real fate
You're breathing out until you're all swoon
Close your eyes
I told you so
You will survive this
Your bliss will come
You told me so
The day will come and you will know
The day will come and you will go
Little thing
All tied up but you're still bending
Making plans for never-ending
Holding breath in this wide red room
Close your eyes
I told you so
You will survive this
Your bliss will come
You told me so
The day will come and you will know
The day will come and you will go
Little thing
Little thing
Little thing
Little thing
I told you so
You will survive this
Your bliss will come
You told me so
The day will come and you will know
The day will come and you will go
Little thing
You told me so
The day will come and you will know
The day will come and you will go
Little thing
Little thing
MAN-MADE BOXES
You know best now since I said it all
You got the message
Now you better not fall
Oh, see their faces and hear their calls
Scent their sadness
Restrained by the walls
Restrained by the walls
Restrained by the walls
The time we've spent in all these giant halls
In manmade boxes
Oh, you better stand tall
Crumbling of our thoughts
Poetry of frozen hearts
Breath of fighter's loss
You will feel again
Cause underneath your skin
Blood and life and soul will start
And you're about to cross
The Kingdom of the upright man
You stand in line for major overhaul
The truth is draining
Oh, you really feel small
You feel like drowning in a waterfall
In manmade boxes
Oh, you better stand tall
Crumbling of our thoughts
Poetry of frozen hearts
Breath of fighter's loss
You will feel again
Cause underneath your skin
Blood and life and soul will start
And you're about to cross
The Kingdom of the upright man
JANE DOE
Jane went out for a smoke
Just a bit on her own
And when she got back
She was gone
We are the seeds in the soil
Oh, they told us to grow
Roots aren't always that strong
They don't want us to go away
Oh, John said he don't do no drugs
Said he's doing no harm
Tried to get some rest
He's still warm
So what's the point in life
If you can't do good things
Your whole life rewinds
Before Churchbell rings, oh!
We feel like leaves in the wind
But they told us to stay
We aren't always that strong
They don't want us to go away, oh no
They don't want us to hide away, oh no
They don't want us to fade away, oh no
Go find yourself in the sun
We are the seeds in the soil
And they told us to grow
But roots aren't always that strong
They don't want us to go away
They don't want us to go away
Jane got back on her feet
Got a life, found a place
She's the girl you won't meet
She's the girl you won't trace
DAY 4
Tell me can you fix this
World beyond our window
Is it time for us to go?
We could leave, we could leave, we could leave
Leave it all behind
Is it over? Are we done?
We could lie, we could hide, we could run
Precious broken something
Straighten up your backbone
Trust me, you are not alone, oh
We could go, we could go, we could go
We could go for good
Is it over? Are we done?
We could lie, we could hide, we could run
Is it over? Are we done?
We could lie, we could hide, we could run
Trust me you're not broken
We fixed all bits and pieces
You know we can walk when
We burn the fences we have built
Is it so hard then?
With all the lights above us?
Shooting stars, slowmotion
Countless souls that we have met
I see you stumbling
Blinded by their beauty
Slowly beating numb thing
Halfway gone and almost there
You are much stronger
Stronger than they told you
You can walk much longer
You just have to know
It's not over, we're not done
We can run, we can run, we can run
It's not over, we're not done
We can run, we can run, we can run
-2
You move to the beat of the ticking clock, ticktock
Your name on the seat and you are somehow stuck
On hold and repeat cause they do that too
But you don't dream the dreams the way they do
Sure thing you can do it all
With your back to the wall when they said it all
Well then, you can break that wall
With your voice and your call when you said it all
Tell them that you're done with all
You don't know where to go, but you're not lost
Hands up! Cause you want to be heard, and you want to be loud
You tried so long
Sure thing you can do it all
With your back to the wall when they said it all
Well then, you can break that wall
With your voice and your call when you said it all
Tell them that you're done with all
You don't know where to go, but you're not lost
Hands up! Cause you want to be heard, and you want to be loud
You tried so long
Heads up! You know every word for what it's all about
You can't go wrong
You made it all up but you just can't hide
No matter what and how much you cried
You're breaking the waves cause they can't break you
And you don't dream the dreams the way they do
Sure thing you can do it all
With your back to the wall when they said it all
Well then, you can break that wall
With your voice and your call when you said it all
Tell them that you're done with all
You don't know where to go, but you're not lost
Sure thing you can do it all
With your back to the wall when they said it all
Well then, you can break that wall
With your voice and your call when you said it all
Tell them that you're done with all
You don't know where to go, but you're not lost
RUN STOP
Keep running, keep running away from the fear
Keep searching, keep searching, you never came near
Keep looking, keep looking for something to hear
Keep trying, keep trying, keep trying, oh dear
Fight fire with fire, fight water with sand
Go down to the wire, go put down your hand
Fight fire with fire, fight water with sand
Go down to the white line
Oh, oh! You never know where to go
Run stop! Standing where the rivers grow
One drop! Waiting for the afterglow
That's when you should
Stop running, stop running away from yourself
Stop hiding, stop hiding yourself on a shelf
Die trying, die trying by holding your breath
Try dying, try dying by faking your death
Fight fire with fire, fight water with sand
Go down to the wire, go put down your hand
Fight fire with fire, fight water with sand
Bow down to the white sign
Oh, oh! You never know where to go
Run stop! Standing where the rivers grow
One drop! Waiting for the afterglow
That's when you go
Oh, oh! You never know where to go
Run stop! Standing where the rivers grow
One drop! Waiting for the afterglow
That's when you go slow
Keep winding, keep turning away from the shade
Keep stumbling, keep falling, stop missing the glade
Keep reeling, keep feeling like all got too close
Escaping the something, chasing a ghost
Fight fire with fire, fight water with sand
Go down to the wire, go put down your hand
Fight fire with fire, fight water with sand
Dissolve in the white shine
Oh, oh! You never know where to go
Run stop! Standing where the rivers grow
One drop! Waiting for the afterglow
That's when you go
Oh, oh! You never know where to go
Run stop! Standing where the rivers grow
One drop! Waiting for the afterglow
That's when you go
So, you never know where to go
Run stop! Standing where the rivers grow
One drop! Waiting for the afterglow
That's when you go
Oh, oh! You never know where to go
Run stop! Standing where the rivers grow
One drop! Waiting for the afterglow
That's when you should stay
LEARN TO FALL
We all heard them say
We should live today
Like now, but when and then
They never told us how
We get hurt someday
Happens when we stay or go
But then again
They always told us so
We can do better
Learn to fall
We can fall better after all
We can learn better
Learn to fall
We can fall better
We stand tall
We take our daily grinds
Adjust our hopeful minds
We bow and then pretend
We all could end this now
We all give in sometimes
Give up our tiny crimes
We know, but then and when
These things will make us grow
We can do better
Learn to fall
We can fall better after all
We can learn better
Learn to fall
We can fall better
We stand tall
We've spent our days in darkest shades
But we came back
And after all we're not that small
Cause we came back
We've spent our days on things we chase
But we came back
But we came back
But we came back
We can do better
Learn to fall
We can fall better after all
We can learn better
Learn to fall
We can fall better
We stand tall
We can do better
Learn to fall
We can fall better after all
We can learn better
Learn to fall
We can fall better
Learn to fall
Learn to fall
NEW DAY
It’s all so quiet here
A snowflake crashes on the floor
The ships have left the pier
To where they came from long before
The sun goes down, the winds stand still
The moon dies slowly on a hill
I hear myself behind that door
I’m not breathing anymore
Every new day we carry on
Every new day we can’t hold on
To what a billion broken hearted people said
It feels like to be alone
Every new day we carry on
A candle struggles hard
The wax has melt away too fast
Heart-shaped cherry tart
Bite into the future past
This house is opened, but closed as well
There is no name below the bell
I hide myself a little more
I’m not breathing anymore
Every new day we carry on
Every new day we can’t hold on
To what a billion broken hearted people said
It feels like to be alone
Every new day we carry on
If I had a dream
To get the things we need so bad
Steel turned into steam
We can’t work on, oh old comrade
It’s all so quiet now
The earth might shake, but I will not
No need to make a row
A knife is made to make a cut
The big parades have passed this place
We celebrate an empty space
We could have time galore
But I’m not breathing anymore
Every new day we carry on
Every new day we can’t hold on
To what a billion broken hearted people said
It feels like to be alone
Every new day we carry on
Every new day we sing this song
WE WAKE UP
We wake up, everything is gone
No more walls attached to the floor
No more stairs that lead to the door
You are not naked cause you wear the sun
I can feel the grass underneath
I can feel how the wind keeps us warm
Leave your head just a bit on my arm
Lay down your sorrows, put down your grief
Lay down your sorrows, put down your grief
Cause you are safe now
Cause you are safe now
We wake up while this world is a ghost
There's no streets that could take you away
No more signs that will tell you to stay
No one who tells you what you need the most
Take good care cause there's no one above
But I swear that this life won't be hard
Let my fingers form you a heart
And I'll merge all pieces when you burst with love
And I'll merge all pieces when you burst with love
You are safe now
You are safe here
You are safe now
You are safe with me
We wake up, we wake up my dear
Take these stones you collected around
Write our names with these stones on the ground
No need to worry, nothing to fear
No need to worry, nothing to fear
