Color Bleed, I

Blue light shining from their window panes
Keeps them quiet, keeps them sane
Meanwhile moonshine guides me on my way
To my own alienation game
Projected light
A moment shared
A different life across the square
'Cause in every frame, it's always there
'Cause in every frame, it's always there
What a way to end a day
Fading memories hanging on my wall
Better times that I can't recall
I move on but they keep standing there
That smiling face, I wish I knew, I swear
The captured light
A moment spared
Inverted view inside the square
'Cause in every frame, it's always there
'Cause in every frame, it's always there
What a way to save a day
'Cause in every frame, it's always there
What a way to end a day
Be aware, my friend
It may scare, but it's not the intent
People change like colors bleed
In the mean time
We proceed

The Last Speaker
04:03
|

Well, it must be a silent life
to hear her sigh only in your mind
He said "lately, a certain kind
of beyondness has taken over my life"
And it left me wondering why,
and what it meant, and what it must be like
When no one knows your accent
And no one knows your slang
When no one gets the reference
And no one feels the same
If no one remembers, did it really happen?
If no one can see it, is it really there?
Last remaining speaker of this dying language,
How to say these words that I have never heard you say?
And whenever I need to hide
I put on those glasses and then I'm free to cry
And I'll always hear inside your words of advice
'Cause now I know what's like
When no one knows your accent
And no one knows your slang
When no one gets the reference
And no one feels the same
If no one remembers, did it really happen?
If no one can see it, is it really there?
Last remaining speaker of this dying language,
How to say these words that I have never heard you say?
Dooyrt Ballooilley rish:
"Vel ny partanyn snaue, Joe?"
"Cha nel monney, cha nel monney," dooyrt Joe.
"T'ad feer ghoan."
— Ned Maddrell, the last native speaker of the Manx language
When nobody knows your accent
When nobody knows your slang
When nobody gets the reference
When nobody feels the same
If no one remembers, did it really happen?
If no one can see it, is it really there?
If nothing can help it, does it even matter?
If there's no tomorrow, then why not today?
And if there's no answer, then is it a question?
And if you can't hear me, then why do I sing?
Last remaining speaker of this dying language
How to say I love you in your language, anyway?

Untrue
04:48
|

I could be untrue to you
To anyone, to everyone if I had to
I could run through all the pages
And go straight to see how it ends
Would it tear you apart?
I could be you
But everytime you walked away
I'd never have the heart to hear you say
I do
I could wait for you tonight
I might, still
We could leave it all behind
I will
But only if we give ourselves the chance
If you lower the defense
I could reach so high
But every word in every song
Keeps breaking you into my home
Reaching for the light, no more second-guesses
Searching for a rhyme for unspoken tensions
Waiting for a time nothing's left unanswered
Hoping for a sign, nothing else is left at all
But we're waiting for the call
Something that will tell which way to ride
As we are learning to get by
Nothing else is left at all
But we're waiting for the call
Something that will tell which way to ride
As we are learning to get by

Keeping a Secret
05:00
|
|||
It's all right if you don't love me
but it's not right if you do and won't tell me so
Because it's crystal clear that you still think of me
In this case then what am I supposed to do
That's not right
Will our beloved illusion ever shine?
A secret that we share, that we hide
from each other, from ourselves
I told you I could not hold it anymore
And now you wonder if I'm going for the truth
For long I've been fine with living in my dreams
But it's easy to see that I am losing you
That's not right
Will our beloved illusion ever shine?
A secret that we share, that we hide
from each other, from ourselves
solo: Chico Pereira
That's not right
Will our beloved illusion ever shine?
A secret that we (used to) share, that we hide
from each other, from ourselves
Keeping a secret from, a secret from ourselves
Keeping a secret from, a secret from ourselves
Keeping a secret from, a secret from ourselves
Keeping a secret from, a secret from ourselves

Color Bleed, II

Like castles made of sand,
Like shapes in clouds
Like water upon fire
Pouring down
Like breaking an old pact
Like falling out
Like falling in ----
...a trap that you've made sleepwalking
You're just tricking yourself
Be aware, my friend,
It may scare, but it's not the intent
People change like colors bleed
As I sense a shade of you in me
solo: Hisham
Like getting along well
Like doing fine
Then suddenly breaking
(Suddenly breaking)
Suddenly breaking — just in time
Like meanings we give to words
Misread, misheard
Like failing to see the point in the song
But still sing along
Be aware, my friend,
it may scare, ain't that the sole intent?
People change like colors bleed
As I sense
a shade
of you
in me

Blood, Sweat and Tears
03:05
|
|||
On blood and sweat and tears we fought our fight
Not for one moment we put faith aside
We sailed across the seas of words and tried
to bring those of our own, to make it through the line
When the shadows intended to fall over us
Then we managed to hold to the things that we trust
When the shadows intended to fall over all that we feared
We stood strong and persevered
On blood and sweat and tears we lived our days
Our aims were not too clear as we braved the haze
For days and months and years we stood our stride
You thought you rode the wave, you were dragged by the tide
When the shadows intended to fall over us
Then we managed to hold to the things that we trust
When the shadows intended to fall over all that we feared
We stood strong and persevered
(Blood and sweat and tears)
We lived our days on blood
(Blood and sweat and tears)
We lived our days on sweat
(Blood and sweat and tears)
We lived our days on tears that we won't regret, no more

Crossfire
06:04
|

Been chosen, cannot resign
Accept with consternation
Your future is well defined
Days lost in preparation
But you are not sure
You lost her, now go find
Look for her everywhere you go
You don't know which way to find
Just don't step past the fields or else it will...
Been chosen, cannot resign
Carry on your ancestry
You're born with a past behind
But you're afraid you don't believe
You are not sure of what is to come
You don't know exactly what she meant by saying all those words
and you sincerely hope it doesn't mean she's gonna go away
Every time you turn around and walk away somehow you get the
feeling that you'll never ever gonna get to see her again
See her again
But you could never face the fire (When you decide)
And so you fight against desire (you will find)
It makes you feel just like a liar (you cannot)
Just like walking down the wire (walk on)
But you cannot live in denial (When you decide)
There is nowhere left to hide, no (you will find)
You know you have to defy it (you cannot)
But you are standing in crossfire (let go)
You never got to decide
If that's what you wanted to be
They've chosen which is your side
In a war you don't even see
You are not sure of what is to come
You don't know exactly what she meant by saying all those words
and you sincerely hope it doesn't mean she's gonna go away
Every time you turn around and walk away somehow you get the
feeling that you'll never ever gonna get to see her again
To see her again
But you could never face the fire (When you decide)
And so you fight against desire (you will find)
It makes you feel just like a liar (you cannot)
Just like walking down the wire (walk on)
But you cannot live in denial (When you decide)
There is nowhere left to hide, no (you will find)
You know you have to defy it (you cannot)
But you are standing in crossfire (let go)
When you're there you get the feeling that
no other feeling will ever replace her in your heart
When you're back you feel your spirit back
into the prison, back into the chains, into the dark
When you're there you get the feeling that
no other feeling will ever replace her in your heart
When you're there you get the feeling that
no other feeling will ever take you higher
But you are standing in crossfire

The pencil stares at the page
The eyes, they stare past the window
The pencil stares at the page
The eyes, they stare past the window
And sights keep sliding away
And thoughts look for a place to go
The pencil stares at the page
The eyes, they stare past the window
And sights keep sliding away
And thoughts look for a place to go
Sometimes they just don't get along
Very well, I can tell, yes I know
The pencil stares at the page
The eyes, they stare past the window
And sights keep sliding away
And thoughts look for a place to go
Sometimes they just don't get along
Very well, I can tell, yes I know
Even when we could not get along
We would keep on holding on
What for? What for? What for?
What for? What for? What for?
solo: Hisham
solo: Chico Pereira
The pencil stares at the page
The eyes, they stare past the window
My heart keeps running away
And thoughts look for a place to go
Sometimes they just don't get along
Very well
I can tell
Yes I know
