No Comeback

I can’t stay
Pardon me for the inconvenience
But there’s another dimension in my bed
That I’d like to drown in
Don’t worry
I’ll leave with a smile
As we were all taught to do
In this beautiful city
Truth be told I can hardly wait
For gravity to lose grip of me
So I can slip into that gap
A dream within a dream

Cherries

After all these years
The field by your house is wild as ever
The rose red cherries are still as sweet
The walls bare, the barbwire rusty
Just like our minds
Still, something’s changed
The way you look away
Yet your words are so sweet
Those empty promises between us
Perhaps someday, we’ll find a ladder
So we can climb

Aftermath

You know what they say
“Don’t beat yourself up about it”
“Don’t try to over-analyze”
Oh but I can’t help but to fantasize
Of how it could’ve been
If I just had given in

Sweet Lullaby

Once my eyes are shut
Pull me into a dream
When the monsters come
Take me to your ravine
I know I’m safe
Because I know you will cover me
Let me hear your hymn
And the bad things will go away

Lost Seasons

Tangled in a fishing net
Craving gold from that one old bet
When the insides twist and turn
Feeling alive from that good old burn
Longing for revelations
Fleeing between long known stations
Caught up in what could have been
It’s too late, it’s a shame, it’s a sin

Paradis

En skugga kan få en sten att se ut som en snäcka
När vatten droppar ur ditt hår verkar solen barmhärtig
Och där står jag och väntar
Tänker
Torkar
Gåshuden sprider sig
Och vinden skrattar
Man blir så lätt tagen, man kan bli dragen
Drunkna i allt vad det innebär
Saltet svider i mina spruckna läppar
Och jag tänker
Jag drunknade ju för länge sedan

In Circles

I can’t breathe until
My hands are clean
The dust on my skin
Invades my lungs
And the ants crawl
Across my eyes
The same filth that’s on your mind
We’re restless tonight

Freedom Cage

Life is but a test
Yo
u think you’re blessed
Aren’t you glad you came?
You have a name
And you’re worth something
And you’re worth keeping


There’s no point in crime
Wasting time
All wrapped up in chains
And I see your veins
You’ve declared your war
So what are we waiting for?

Sunshine

I remember it
It was a beautiful day
The sky was as blue as can be
And you were all there with me
Though I can’t recall
What it was that someone said
We had plans for the day
Didn’t mean to get carried away
But those words were said
Disappointment and contempt
Suddenly they hit us with truth
In the moment we lost our youth
And you cried
In my arms you were trembling
Infected with regret
I wondered if the day had ended yet

Well, Maybe I Asked For It

Oh, trouble
This isn’t fair
You cheated this game
My mind was so clear
Then you came out of nowhere

Hit & Run

Don’t you dare move
You see, she’s like a wild deer
Curious, she’s coming closer
The silence is rare, divine
Don’t you even think about it
Don’t even breathe

Skin and bones is all you see
It might shatter in your hands
And when you blink you’re in deep water
The silence is tense, awful
Those nervous eyes staring at your headlights
Are you in for the kill?

In The Spotlight

Your blue, vernal eyes
The movement of your hands
That sweet, soothing voice
And those skinny pants
Dressed in black
Dark and shady is your style
Driving me wild
And then there’s your rare smile
You’re so divine

Lovesong

You’re so kind
You treat me nice
I’d like to ask questions
Far from appropriate

You’re not a liar
And you don’t hide
So I want to cheat
Just to ruin it

You’re so sweet
Far too sweet
I’ll make it up to you
And treat you like shit

So when you’re hurt
Remember my smile
As you’ll want to pull my teeth out
Just admit it


And when you’re full of rage
And full of hate
Bash my brains in
And leave my body in a pit

Green

You’re getting bored
I can tell
Oh, those sweet eyes of yours
I’m afraid I’ll drown in them
Just sharing the same sky

Is enough for me
And it’s pretty wild
And it’s pretty crazy
I’m sick to my stomach
But it’s okay
This will be over soon anyway

Miss You So Much




It was here, I fell in love again
The colors and the sounds
The cold and your voice
Take me back
I miss you so much
