SYLVAN LYRICS

1. One Step Beyond

My resistance is broken
I can not even lift my head
Left myself so wide open
Now I pull back myself instead
Is it true that although I'm numb it's burning?
Is it true that outside the world keeps turning?

And then it's you
You rouse in me the fire I need and it's true,
You show me how to put me at ease and when you soothe
You reach to pull me out from the deep, what a fool
Because you should be the one I relieve
For when you rise and carry on and take me one step beyond
You find the words that I'd never search for
You try to make me strong and take me one step beyond
You win the thoughts that I can not fight for

My resistance gets weaker
How to breathe when the air is gone?
Can one lose what one lived for?
How to end?
How to carry on?

And then it's you
You rouse in me the fire I need and it's true,
You show me how to put me at ease and when you soothe
You reach to pull me out from the deep, what a fool
Because you should be the one I relieve
For when you rise and carry on and take me one step beyond
You find the words that I'd never search for
You try to make me strong and take me one step beyond
You win the thoughts that I can not fight for

Soaking up the moonlight remorsefully
Picking up the dirt devotedly
How to keep on,
To keep on?
Exchanging a dime for misery
Relinquishing hopes reluctantly
How to keep on,
To keep on?

My resistance is broken
I can not even lift my head
Left myself too wide open
Now I pull back myself instead

And then it's you
You rouse in me the fire I need and it's true,
You show me how to put me at ease and when you soothe
You reach to pull me out from the deep, what a fool
Because you should be the one I relieve
For when you rise and carry on and take me one step beyond
You find the words that I'd never search for
You try to make me strong and take me one step beyond
You win the thoughts that I can not fight for
For when you rise and carry on and take me one step beyond
You find the words that I'd never search for
You try to make me strong and take me one step beyond
You win the thoughts that I can not fight for
For when you rise and carry on and take me one step beyond
You find the words that I'd never search for
You try to make me strong and...

2. Signed Away

I gave you truth,
You gave me nothing
I broke and you took advantage of it
I wrote the lines,
You never read them with me
Just spoke inside insidiously
I knew my fortune but believed my lies
A million reasons just to prove me right
I built it with you but without a doubt
You were never with me, now I found it out...

I signed my life away
And spilled the ink of trust I should have saved
I offered all my tears I used to hide
To blur the lines of truth I kept inside

If you'd asked for rainbows, would have brought them here
For in brightest colours would have shone for me
And a thousand treasures, would have searched for all
But the colours darkened, they will shine no more...

And I write it down inside...
And I fight
And I turn the page of sighs...
And I feel it here tonight...
Tonight...
And I cried
And I signed off my life...

I signed my life away
And spilled the ink of trust I should have saved
I offered all my tears I used to hide
To blur the lines of truth I kept inside

3. For One Day

Your hands uncertain, with your voice unheard
When you're lost in senses it's for all you're worth
With your eyes you capture where the others fail
With your face you show me what you long to say
When the waves of sorrow surge into your heart
No one knows how deeply it tears yourself apart

For one day, teach me dreams unbroken
For one day, speak what's left unspoken
For one day, come into the open
For one day...

Timid gestures and your sight unsure
When you cry in silence it's not a fake at all
And then your tears of sorrow the others fail to see
From me you can not hide it, you can't lie to me
When the isolation justifies your thoughts
And alone you wonder who will hear your call

For one day, teach me dreams unbroken
For one day, speak what's left unspoken
For one day, come into the open
For one day...

I'll be waiting,
I'll be waiting for you
I am hoping
To relieve your sorrows
I am dreaming,
I am longing for it
Show me reasons
For one day...

For one day, teach me dreams unbroken
For one day, speak what's left unspoken
For one day, come into the open
For one day...

4. Former Life

Is it written in her face
Like a book she opened wide
Are you bothering at all?
Don't you hear it in her voice
Long ago her pride has broken?
Don't you care for her no more?

That's your former life...
That's your former life...
That's your former life...

When she's giving you her hand
Out of habit you reply
Don't you feel you cause the pain?
She would build for you the world,
In your colours she would paint it
But she cried for you in vain...

That's your former life...
That's your former life...
That's your former life...
That's your former life...
That's your former life...
That's your former life...

When you used her,
Did you feel,
Did you need her?
When you squeezed her,
Did you see,
Did you please her?

When the day will fade to nothing
And the night will come in sight
When the lust has stopped to warm you,
You will freeze without her light
When the storm has ceased to touch you
And it leaves you on your own
When it's silence all around you,
You will face your life alone...
Alone...
Alone...
Alone...

Did you see it in her eyes?
Did you see her pride had broken?
Did you think of her at all?

That's your former life...
That's your former life...
That's your former life...
That's your former life...
That's your former life...
That's your former life...

5. On The Verge Of Tears

Senselessly and full of silence I'm waiting here tonight
And with a sort of scorn a waft of mist is covering my life
It is for lack of reason in my past I'm aging pointlessly?
And then I close the eyes to bide my time in absence of a dream
How can I face the silence without a voice that's near?
And while I feel the raindrops
I'm on the verge of tears...

Bitterly the memories are torturing my mind
Of all these places where I left my verve as time was passing by
And now I realize the path I took might end prematurely
Isn't it cynical, but now I'm yearning for this dreamless sleep
How should I stand in darkness without a distant glow?
How should I cross the desert without a grain of hope?
How can I face the silence without a voice that's near?
And while I feel the raindrops
I'm on the verge of tears...

I sigh for it, I'd fight for it, I'd die for it, I'll try...
I sigh for it, I'd fight for it, I'd die for it, I'll try...
I sigh for it, I'd fight for it, I'd die for it

How should I stand in darkness without a distant glow?
How should I cross the desert without a grain of hope?
How can I face the silence without a voice that's near?
And while I feel the raindrops
I'm on the verge of tears...
I'm on the verge of tears...

6. When The Leaves Fall Down

All we know for decades is spoken
Thousand promises have been broken
Rub out leaves of trials, empty lines
Feel that our force is mistaken
See how my future is shaken
Wipe it off our eyes, clear our minds

See now what we left behind passively
It was not enough we tried!
Why did we wait though we knew inside?
Did we fail? Did we fail?

Now, we always took it for granted
Start when it already has ended
Pour our lots of wine, crush the ice
Fields, our lands are gutted by fire
Miles of dirt and hatred grow higher
Drink our glass of wine, taste our lies

See now what we left behind passively
It was not enough we tried!
Why did we wait though we knew inside?
Did we fail? Did we fail?

Not eternal, not for sale,
Not a gift to throw away
And when the leaves fall down
Not our places, not our life,
Not our room to vandalize
When the leaves fall down
Not self-evident, not due,
Not a passing rendez-vous
And when the leaves fall down
Not a game and not so weak,
Irreplaceable unique
And when the leaves fall down...
And when the leaves fall down...
And when the leaves fall down...
And when the leaves fall down...
And when the leaves fall down...

7. Words From Another Day

Hear your words from another day
Hear your voice as from outside
Hear the sounds in a different way
And your words make my heart cry
You told me you will be there
Told me you'll always care
Told me I'll never be alone
But you were wrong,
I can't go on...

Feel your warmth from another day
Feel the cold that is outside
Feel the world in a different way
This emptiness makes my heart cry
You told me you'll never leave
Told me the words I'd need
Told me the world will be our home
But you are gone,
I can't go on...

8. Cold Suns

He can't sleep at night and he works all day
Tries to close his eyes, it won't go away
On his daily road, on a dead-end street
Has not lost the faith, he still feels...
And every break of dawn
For all these years
He hopes the burden falls...

Cold suns from a distance watch him fading away
Cold suns guide his paths and try to soothe his wounds but they fail
Cold suns shine on fields of hope he works for day after day

From a distant place one can feel his past
One can judge the weight since he lost his heart
Where he finds the strength against the wind that blows?
What the future brings, no one knows...
And every break of dawn
For all these years
He hopes the burden falls off now and...

Cold suns from a distance watch him fading away
Cold suns guide his paths and try to soothe his wounds but they fail
Cold suns shine on fields of hope he works for day after day
Day after day, day after day
Day after day, day after day
Day after day, day after day
Day after day

Day after day after day after day after day after day
Day after day after day after day after day after day
Cold suns from a distance watch him fading away
Cold suns guide his paths and try to soothe his wounds but they fail
Cold suns shine on fields of hope he works for day after day
Cold suns from a distance watch him fading away
Cold suns guide his paths and try to soothe his wounds but they fail
Cold suns shine on fields of hope he works for day after day

He can't sleep at night and he works all day
Tries to close his eyes

9. Hypnotized

Unavoidably sure,
Energized and full of life
Illuminate and persuade the souvenirs I have inside
It's immaturely pure,
It proselytized me to you
Mesmerized I close my eyes and dream of things I'd like to do
Believe me,
I can foresee it,
It is so easy
And now I feel it...

I'm hypnotized,
Never questioning my faith and I am hypnotized
I'm definitely right
I am hypnotized,
Never questioning my faith and I am hypnotized
Or arrogantly blind

Vigorously I'm strong
Perfect goals are never wrong
Faultlessly it's clear to me, the end does justify the means
It's philosophically true,
It explains all things I do
Elucidates the sense it makes, I never was this sure before
Believe me,
I can foresee it,
It is so easy
And now I feel it...

I'm hypnotized,
Never questioning my faith and I am hypnotized
I'm definitely right
I am hypnotized,
Never questioning my faith and I am hypnotized
Or arrogantly blind

Blind I trace my way,
Sign the words I say...
What a comfort!
What a comfort!
Try to verbalize
What I have inside...
What a comfort!
What a comfort!

Hypnotized,
Never questioning my faith and I am hypnotized
I'm definitely right
I am hypnotized,
Never questioning my faith and I am hypnotized
Or arrogantly blind
Hypnotized
Hypnotized

10. Heal

You could be the air I breathe in
The flood that will stage the stones
You'd symbolize shelter for me
The stars like to shine on
You'd give me reasons to exist
And take away my pain... you would...

Heal all that time has failed to try
Be what it takes to comfort my life
And mean everything to me,
But future's not yet here for me

You'd turn every tear to pleasure
Caressing my eyes with rain
You'd calm down the storms of my life
Faith I can rely on
You'd fill all the clouds with daylight and
While chasing the night away... you would...

Heal all to me,
But future's not yet here for me

Would you teach me,
Would you guide me,
Would you show me,
Would you try?

Heal all that time has failed to try
Be what it takes to comfort my life
And mean everything to me,
But future's not yet here for me

11. Transitory Time

When the sleep at night missed our rendez-vous
Like an orphaned child I am watching you
When I lie awake and I bide my time
Through the cold you warm,
Through the dark you shine
Then I close my eyes and lose you
Think of days without you near
From this nightmare, cold and unsure
I verify that you're still here

Cover me
With calm tonight
To freeze these transitory times

When I wake at night from a restless sleep
And the mists of dreams loosen hold for me
For a second then fear to be alone
When I hear you breathe all my fears are gone
Then I close my eyes and lose you
Think how lonely it would be?
Can a dream just last forever?
You're such a precious gift to me...

Cover me
With calm tonight
To freeze these transitory times

Cover me
With calm tonight
To freeze these transitory times

12. Presets

Tasted flavours of regret
Paid for all my past presets
Countless hours that I cried
Stigmatized but still a child

And then it followed me out
And marked my way
It tried to cover me now,
This was my fate
And though it killed me inside
And fossilized
But how can I legitimize
To judge my life?
To judge my life?

Why, why does it overshadow lights I have in me?
Why, why does it soil the way I feel?
Why, why can't it testify the words I did not speak?
Why...

So while I figured it out,
Started to see
What many people somehow,
They saw in me
And though I live with it now,
From day to day
Still taste the flavours of how
It presets my way...
Discriminates...

Why, why does it overshadow lights I have in me?
Why, why does it soil the way I feel?
Why, why can't it testify the words I did not speak?
Why...

Swim inside my room and fix the walls
Turn my thoughts, my thoughts they turn it all
Lack a joint of coincidence,
Booze the pills of ignorance
Feel I'm microscopically small
Drown inside my lit aquarium
Watched by scientists and so alone
Alice in a wonderland,
Silly-billy different
In a world of fake and silicone

Open your eyes to find it's right, not wrong and the flavours left no trace
Open your eyes and find the rain is gone and the presets wiped away
Open your eyes to leave the wonderland, it's not your future, just your past
Open your eyes and gain the confidence cause the confidence will last

Linger in a sort of big balloon
Try to throw the words in cotton wool
Voices that can't penetrate,
Syllables you'll suffocate
Endless linguistic interludes

Open your eyes to find it's right, not wrong and the flavours left no trace
Open your eyes and find the rain is gone and the presets wiped away
Open your eyes to leave the wonderland, it's not your future, just your past
Open your eyes and gain the confidence cause the confidence will last
Open your eyes to find it's right, not wrong and the flavours left no trace
Why does it overshadow lights I have in me?
Why?
Open your eyes and find the rain is gone and the presets wiped away
Why does it soil the way I feel?
Why?
Open your eyes to leave the wonderland, it's not your future, just your past
Why can't it testify the words I did not speak?
Why?
Open your eyes and gain the confidence cause the confidence will last
Open your eyes to find it's right, not wrong and the flavours left no trace
Open your eyes and find the rain is gone and the presets wiped away
Open your eyes to leave the wonderland, it's not your future, just your past
Open your eyes and gain the confidence cause the confidence will last
