Poets of the Fall - Late Goodbye ( ''Signs of life'' 2005 ).

, 28 2020 . 23:12 +
.

In our headlights, staring, bleak, beer cans, deers eyes


On the asphalt underneath, our crushed plans and my lies
,

Lonely street signs, power lines, they keep on flashing, flashing by
, , ,


And we keep driving into the night


Its a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
,

And we keep driving into the night


Its a late goodbye


Your breath hot upon my cheek, and we crossed, that line
,

You made me strong when I was feeling weak, and we crossed, that one time
, , ,

Screaming stop signs, staring wild eyes, keep on flashing, flashing by
-, , ,


And we keep driving into the night


Its a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
,

And we keep driving into the night


Its a late goodbye



The devil grins from ear to ear when he sees the hand hes dealt us
,

Points at your flaming hair, and then were playing hide and seek
,

I cant breathe easy here, less our trails gone cold behind us
,

Till in the john mirror you stare at yourself grown old and weak
, ,

And we keep driving into the night


Its a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
, ...

Based on a poem by Sam Lake

POTF - Don't mess with me ( " Signs of Life " 2005 ).

, 01 2020 . 15:16 +
.

Sometimes I know theres nothing to say
,

So do I pick up my puzzle and just walk away


Do I follow my conscience
?

Am I mock sincere
?

I dont know what Im doing here
, .

I have a knack for perceiving things


I can see how it sounds
,

I can feel how it sings
,

When you paint me an image of who you are


I know its the best by far
,

So


Dont, dont, dont mess my hair, if all you do is fake it
, , , ,

Dont, dont, dont say you care, cos I could never shake it
, , ,

Dont, dont, dont mess with me
,

Dont, dont, dont mess with me
,

No point of view is enough to quell
,

The rigors of passion in this world I dwell
,

If Im going to scale the highest wall


Im gonna give it my all


Riding along with this train of thought


I see everything, I find all I sought
, ,

And I try to kick the habit of trying to reach
, -

But theres something I do beseech
-

So please


Dont, dont, dont mess my hair, if all you do is fake it
, , , ,

Dont, dont, dont say you care, cos I could never shake it
, , ,

Dont, dont, dont mess with me
,

Dont, dont, dont mess with me
,

Ill say its not surprising
,

Youre sweet talking, mesmerizing, juicy and appetizing
, ,

True


But will I need to get over you
?

Feels like my sun is rising
,

Tick, tick, tick, synchronizing
-, -,

Readjusting, organizing me
,

Is this fiction reality


Bless the uncompromising


With no shame for advertising
,

When my needs go through downsizing


I need someone to pick up my beat
-

My dreams need realizing


Candles on sugar icing


Judgment and harmonizing


Or itll end up like before
,

Dont, dont, dont mess my hair, if all you do is fake it...
, , , , ...

POTF - Sleep ( "Signs of Life" 2005 )

, 04 2018 . 03:40 +
.

Hear your heartbeat


Beat a frantic pace


And its not even seven AM
7 .

Youre feeling the rush


Of anguish settling


You cannot help showing them in


Hurry up then


Or youll fall behind and


They will take control of you


And you need to heal
.

The hurt behind your eyes


Fickle words crowding your mind
.

So


Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
, , ,

Like waves of sweet fire, youre safe within
, .

Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in
, ,

And carry you over to a new morning
, .

Try as you might
,

You try to give it up
,

Seems to be holding on fast
.

Its hand in your hand


A shadow over your


A beggar for soul in your face
,

Still it dont matter
.

If you wont listen


If you wont let it follow you


You just need to heal


Make good all your lies
,

Move on and dont look behind
.

So


Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
, , , ...

Day after day


Fickle visions


Messing with your head


Fickle, vicious
,

Sleeping in your bed


Messing with your head


Fickle visions


Fickle, vicious
,

Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
, , , ...

Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
, , , ...

POTF - 3 AM ( " Signs of Life " 2005 ).

, 12 2018 . 03:15 +
3 .

More than you know it Im aware
, ,

Of this connection that we share
, .

I know it seems like sometimes I dont care
, , ,

But you are the colors that I wear
- , .

Its been a few hours, nearly dawn
, .

Youve been real quiet all along
.

Now, I cannot help but think theres something wrong
, , - .

Hey baby, whats going on
, , ?

3 AM we seemed alright, couldnt be better
3 , ,

On our way into the light
.

Now 3 AM is gone, along with when theres nothing wrong
3 , , .

3 AM it seemed alright
3 .

If I have been thoughtless, let me know
, .

I can take a hint you know, though Im a little slow
, ,

Just dont keep it in you, lest it take root and grow
, .

The bottom line heres I love you so
, .

3 AM we seemed alright, couldnt be better
3 , ,

On our way into the light
.

Now 3 AM is gone, along with when theres nothing wrong
3 , , .

3 AM it seemed alright
3 .

3 AM we seemed alright, like never better
3 , ,

On our way into the light
.

Now 3 AM is gone, along with when theres nothing wrong
3 , , .

3 AM it seemed alright
3 .

3 AM we seemed alright, couldnt be better
3 , ...

3 AM we seemed alright, like never better

POTF - Lift ( "Signs of Life" 2005 )

, 27 2018 . 02:53 +
.


Times when I just cant
,

Bring myself to say it loud
,

Fraid that what Ill say comes out somehow awry
, , , .

That is when it seems
,

We move in circles day to day
, .

Twist the drama of the play to get us by
,

And it feels like fear
,

Like Ill disappear
.

Gets so hard to steer
,

Yet I go on
.

Do we need debate
?

When it seems too late
,

Like I bleed but wait
,

Like nothings wrong
.

You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly
, ,

Touch the moon up in the sky, when you are mine
, , .

You lift me higher, take my spirit, make it fly
, ,

Where all new wonders will appear
,

Like the other day
.

I thought you wont be coming back
,

I came to realize my lackluster dreams
,

And among the schemes


And all the tricks we try to play
,

Only dreams will hold their sway and defy
.

When it feels like fear
...

You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly
, , ...

You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly
, , ...

POTF - Seek You Out ( "Signs of Life" 2005 )

, 28 2018 . 02:12 +
.

Never said youd promise anything
, -

Never told to trust you blindly
,

Never thought youd hurt me either
,

Never had a chance now aint that so


Never shouldve wept when you let go
,

Never thought youd push me away
, ,

Sad as it may be
,

Im glad its over finally
,

Speaks volumes of me
,

When letting go is never easy
,

So Ill seek you out, just to find myself
,

And Ill worry bout consequences later
.

I hear you out, till I hear myself
, ,

Hear myself in you
.

Never knew if we were really true
,

Never thought Id ever get to you
,

Never thought Id end up like this
,

Never was I stronger than Im now
,

Never felt this much a fool somehow
-

Never had much thought for myself


Sad as it may be
, ...

So Ill seek you out, just to find myself
, ...

So Ill seek you out, just to find myself
, ...

So Ill seek you out, just to find myself
, ...

Never knew if we were really true
,

Never thought Id ever get to you
,

Never thought Id end up like this
,

Never said youd promise anything
, -

Never told to trust you blindly
,

Never thought youd hurt me

POTF - Stay ( "Signs of Life" 2005 ).

, 13 2018 . 01:53 +
.

Morning comes slow today
,

Memories push through from yesterday
.

Where will I be tomorrow
?

What do I have to show
,

From my life
?

Stay, I need you here for a new day to break
, ,

Stay, I want you near, like a shadow in my wake
, , ,

Flow with life down the drain
,

Memories and force of will sustain
.

Where will I be tomorrow
?

What will be left to show
, ,

From my life
?

Stay
...

Its the little things, little things, little things, that make the world
, , ,

The little things, little things, little things that make the world
, , ,

Its the little things, little things, little things, that make the world
, ,

Its the little things, little things, little things
, ,

Stay

POTF - Overboard (" Signs of Life " 2005).

, 26 2017 . 02:10 +
.


I see you crying and it rains
, ,

Washing away the bad days
.

Washing away the pain loss brings


And then you smile though it aches
,

Cos you dont believe in mistakes
.

Just that we made a mess of things
,

When the deal that you made with love
,

Is now a one way street, a one way street
,

You feel youll go overboard
,

Cos youre incomplete, incomplete
, .

Youre not afraid to rely


On any way you can try
- ,

To learn to make some sense of things


And the way you say well get by
, .

With a little laugh we can fly
,

You know the measure of hope that brings
,

When the deal that you made with love
, ...

I hear you laughing like a child
,

Instead of choking all riled
,

Instead of staring at shortcomings
,

Just like the rain when you cried
, ,

Washed all the stains of false pride


Youll learn to make the best of things


Have a little more of not enough
, .

More of what is less but isnt love
, , .

Little of the same youre dreaming of
, .

Thats enough, thats enough
,

When the deal that you made with love
, ...

POTF - Illusion And Dream (" Signs of Life" 2005)

, 31 2017 . 02:56 +
.

Look in my eyes I'll make you see
, ,

Were drifting aimlessly


Blind in a world of make believe
, .

Hear them sing their songs off key
,

N' nod like they agree
, .

Buying the needs to be discreet
.

I've got no hand in matters worldly, I hardly care at all
, .

What's going on fails to concern me, 'cause I'm locked behind my wall
, .

But you know what drives me out
, ,
Out of my mind oh


It's whatever makes you see, makes you believe
, ,

And forget about the premonition, you need to conceive
, ,

The images they sell are Illusion and Dream
, -

In other words dishonesty
,

If I speak ill please, humor me
,,

Won't rant on endlessly


Just thought I'd try to make you see
,

It doesn't solve a thing to dress it in a pretty gown
,

A stone will not need you to guess if
, ,

You're still going to drown
.

So you know what drives me out
, ,

Out of my mind, oh


It's whatever makes you see, makes you believe
, ,

And forget about the premonition, you need to conceive
, ,

The images they sell are Illusion and Dream
, -

In other words dishonesty
, .

So can you name your demon?
?

Understand it's scheming
,

I raise my glass and say Here's to you
" ".

Can you chase your demon?
?

Or will it take your freedom?
?

I raise my glass and say Here's to you
" ".

I've got no hand in matters worldly, I hardly care at all
,

What's going on fails to concern me, 'cause I'm locked behind my wall
, ,

But you know what drives me out
,

Out of my mind oh


It's whatever makes you see, makes you believe
, ,

And forget about the premonition, you need to conceive
,

The images they sell are Illusion and Dream
, -

In other words dishonesty
, .

So whatever makes you see makes you believe
, ,

And forget about the premonition you need to conceive
,

The images they sell are Illusion and Dream
, -

In other words dishonesty
, .

With silence comes peace


With peace comes freedom
.

With freedom comes silence

POTF - Everything Fades ( " Signs of Life" 2005).

, 30 2017 . 01:23 +
.

Silly thoughts of small deeds.
.

Everything that once answered to your needs.
, - .

The thoughtless but kind.
, .

The caring but blind.
, .

Everything fades away.
.

Everything fades away,
,

Come turning of the tide.
.

For your love I'm sorry.
, .

For your pain, don't worry.
, ,

Everything fades away.
.

Silhouettes and false leads.


That which drew you,
,

Like a crow to glass beads.
.

Secrets spied.
,

Wishes sighed.
.

Everything fades away.


All I'm saying is don't give up,
, ,

when you're getting so close.
.

All I'm saying is don't give up,
, ,

It's the right way you chose.

POTF - Someone Special ( "Signs of Life" 2005).

, 17 2017 . 03:24 +
- .

I wake up to the sound of rain upon my sill
.

Pick up the pieces of my yesterday old thrill
, .

Can I deliver this used up shiver
?

To how I pronounce my life


And leave it up to faith to go by its own will
, ?

Back row to the left


A little to the side


Slightly out of place
.

Look beyond the light


Where you'd least expect
,

There's someone special
- .

A foggy morning greets me quietly today
, .

I smell a fragrance in the wind blowing my way
, ,

And ever further I run to find her
, .

I yearn to define my life
,

Placing my faith in chance to meet me in half way
.

Back row to the left


A little to the side


Slightly out of place


Look beyond the light


Where you'd least expect
,

There's someone special
- .

And she's here to write her name
,

On my skin with kisses in the rain
, , .

Hold my head and ease my pain


In a world that's gone insane...
, ...

POTF -Shallow ( "Signs of Life" 2005).

, 01 2017 . 03:14 +
.

More in my face
,

Than is my taste
.

I grow so weary I'll surrender
, ,

To what they say
,

Let them lead the way
.

Till' I can no longer remember
,

My darling dreams


Prewritten scenes
.

Whatever felt my own
.

So to save face


I'll take my place
,

Where I may safely feel alone
, .

Glad the waters are so shallow
, ,

When the river runs so cold
.

I'm quick to wait


Too slow to take


They call me gracious for my patience
,

And I feel proud
,

Under that shroud
,

And all the while it's all evasion
, .

Some humor here
,

To fend off fear
.

And I'm a little more lost, oh dear
, .

So to save face


I'll hold my place
,

So I may safely feel alone...
