The empty page gaping hole all are grave insults to our now how else could we be but here always here in this place face to face All I hear is my sad heartbeat all I hear is my sad heartbeat I walk to the line (This love) it shone on my face passed out on the floor all I hear is the sad heartbeat Our empty page relegated to dream love is a sigh in the heart of God the time it takes a child’s tear to fall to fall from grace to fall from you Words by Bibbe Hansen and Aaken, 2015

How did I get to learn To listen to my speech How did I survive And follow this dance The words are incomplete The repeats make me scream How I am the king How can I be the king... With a crown of flames Sadness follows me My smile and my sting My memory is blind It’s a monochrome The words come too late They won’t change a thing Come down See that Burn They Lie I lied They lie And I… Wrong, you were never wrong Cause you rarely would speak You’ll always be right Cause you’ll no longer speak The sun is tiring you The moon is your guide You remember their words You forget and you’re free What motivates my drive And my line of thoughts I remember your words And the man in disguise Starting, shaking, shaking, crashing Try to just understand It’s spreading endlessly They Lie I lied They lie I lied I… lied I promised to promise I promised nothing Those who can speak Now remain so silent You’re waiting for the next feed But you’re stuck and I’ll keep I’ll keep us running And the answer is lost How do I get to touch This face bursting with pain Time is calming me Happiness precedes me Behind those words Can I see any way They promised to promise They run and I lie They Lie I lied They lie I lied At the right time you’ll leave To the original light I’m daring in vain The irony of the fight My sadness is tied To time And I lie Words by Aaken, 2013

L'autre et l'un rêvent de Paris Ils sourient, sautent dans les flaques L'un et l'autre ensemble imaginent La belle vie loin de ce cloaque Que c'est doux d'errer dans la ville Rêve d'y voir Voltaire, Bardot, Baudelaire L'autre et l'un ensemble, ils imaginent Et si j'étais, si tu étais Et si j'étais, si l'on était... And just for one minute Come, let's dream away And just for one minute Come, let's dream away We're so far, so far from the sun We're so far, so far Des lumière de Paris Ils s'enfuient courent à perdre haleine Dernier métro, faut pas que l'on traine Insatiables, ils font de longues phrases Pouvoir palper cette nouvelle atmosphère Et si j'étais, si tu étais Et si j'étais, si l'on était... And just for one minute Come, let's dream away And just for one minute Come, let's dream away We're so far, so far from the sun We're so far, so far Des lumière de Paris Words by Bévinda Ferreire and Aaken, 2011

Drifting by Or blending together Like two streams From the mountain peak Parting unwillingly All is imperfect In this intimacy Where I exalt and humiliate myself You picked the parts Of my unrest So what is next Too much love Dazzled my eyes On that moment in time So anxious to connect But there’s a river to cross Oh how, oh how The past weighs on your side Hope can make fools of us all But I know We didn’t try enough Resign yourself To the forbidden love You understand so well Who you’ll betray Who you can save With all your prayers Your cynical innocence Knows that there’s no more looking back I don’t know how or when Something of love has got to end But I know We didn’t try enough Is it a goodbye? No more to say The secret is gone Another and one And so it’s goodbye No more to say Your secret is gone I’m another and one A faraway song A lonely voice From the nightly peace Another dawn Awakens me Then I cry I cry the days gone by Like so many shadows Flying by I don’t know how or when Something of love has got to end But I know We didn’t try enough Is it a goodbye? No more to say The secret is gone Another and one And so it’s goodbye No more to say The secret is gone I’m another and one Your secret has gone I’m another and one Words by Aaken, 2014

Surely, Progressively Climbing the steps to perfect beauty Who are you now What of you now What of you is there? Uncanny You made it big You were that charming, funny gentle one It seemed so easy You grew it quick Is this your paradise? But you've got no more desire But you've got no more desire Na na na, na na na Watch your back Na na na, na na na Watch your back (But you've got no more desire) Fleshing out What others want from you You cannot give it Not anymore Oh did you say That’s where you want to go? Make yourself look good But you've got no more desire But you've got no more desire (The face that feeds your needs) Na na na, na na na Watch your back Na na na, na na na Watch your back There’s certain satisfaction To be unnatural Couldn’t always stay like that And you flash an overdone grin But the tears really start to flow When reality is hard to keep Did you say that’s where you want to go? (Look at they body) The face that feeds your needs Make yourself look good The face that feeds your needs Make yourself look good Na na na, na na na Watch your back Na na na, na na na Watch your back Look at they body Words by Aaken, 2014

We’re not Here or there Up or down In or out On or off But all places at once We’re all places at once We’re not Out of time Out of rhyme This or that Together and apart But all places at once We’re all places at once Different tunes are played In their minimal world I use the dream I can’t explore And the lights come again You clench your Fists in fury Pout, rattle, shake In the night (in the night) Fearful we cling To one another And to our lies Remember us, remember now Beyond agony We’re aching to catch up With the best things in life And then Time is drifting Slips and falls Like my ass Year by year Tear by tear Madly searching faces For traces or clues Of our lives Season after season We go on My linchpin lover Season after season We go on My linchpin lover We’re not here or there We’re not up or down We dash everywhere In and out We’re all places at once We’re not here or there We’re not up or down We dash everywhere In and out We’re all places at once Words by Bibbe Hansen, 2013

Remember that high heel life and party hair nights the kid glove lies and hat tip smile all those high tension wires (then as) a shining heart with a dirty mind she moved slowly through the world of the blind Walking those street ribbons thoughts seeping down sleeping alleys looking left and right as though it were night watching the clock hands slowly moving time across its face (and) up out of the gutter, she cries out to the skies If I could only know you now as I will know you then If I could only know you now as I will know you then There would be no gaping wound no absent heart lung where love and breathing are pain and dumb numb regrets Little small and tall sometimes too big is not enough and atomic is a bad spill thrill overkill A billion souls without bodies hanging off manikin heads and lamp posts making thought faces to scare the devil Casting glances across the room as the night is taking place In the land of exhausted desire pushed to a new day (then as) a shining heart with a dirty mind she moved slowly through the world of the blind (then as) a shining heart with a dirty mind she moved slowly through the world of the blind If I could only know you now as I will know you then There would be no gaping wound no absent heart lung where love and breathing are pain and dumb numb regret Words by Bibbe Hansen, 2016

There are too many questions There is not one solution There is no resurrection There is so much confusion And the love profusion You make me feel You make me know And the love vibration You make me feel You make me shine There are too many options There is no consolation I have lost my illusions What I want is an explanation And the love profusion You make me feel You make me know And the love direction You make me feel You make me shine I’ve got you under my skin I’ve got you under my skin There is no comprehension There is real isolation There is so much destruction What I want is a celebration And I know I can feel bad When I get in a bad mood And the world can look so sad Only you make me feel good I’ve got you under my skin I’ve got you under my skin And the love profusion You make me feel You make me know And the love intention You make me feel You make me shine And the love profusion You make me feel You make me know And the love vibration You make me feel You make me shine And I know I can feel bad When I get in a bad mood And the world can look so sad Only you make me feel good I’ve got you under my skin I’ve got you under my skin And the love intention You make me feel You make me shine Words by Madonna Ciccone

There was a boy A very strange enchanted boy They say he wandered very far, very far Over lands and sea A little shy And sad of eyes But very wise Was he And then one day One magic day he passed my way And as we spoke of many things Fools and kings This he said to me The greatest thing You'll ever learned Is just to love And be loved in returned Words by Eden Ahbez

Old man you are old now too but still you dance in the center of town With your name in lights above your head daring Happiness to find you Riptide tear you out from the safe and sure far from shore Take you into deep water dark blue with the unknown out of breath out of your depth No world left no world left no world left but sea and sky Old man you are old now too but still you dance in the center of town With your name in lights above your head daring Happiness to find you Words by Bibbe Hansen, 2016
